Not Ed, but Edward, Now.

Editor Lucknow. in Washington letter
to Baraboo Democrat: There has been
little curiosity on the part of some
friends as to the reason for signing our
full name-Edward, 1t would be wrong
to assume that we are attempting to
initiate u modern college girl, debutant
or prospective bride, Here's the reason,
in brief, for taking the longer route
rather than continuing to cut corners
as he had been in the habit of doing:
When President Wilson sent our nom
ination for auditor of the navy to the
senate, the name appeared as Edward
LUCKNOW and was SO confirmed by the
senate and, after receiving our com
mission and having taken the oath of
office, it became necessary to use the
full given name. For that reason all
official matter either bears our sigma
ture or facsimile stamp rs Edward
Luckow.

CHOATE'S GOOD SPEECH.

At banquet last Thursday night il
celebration Of the H5th anniversary o
the New York Chamber Of Commerce
Joseph ii. Choate, able lawyer emf
nent Republican, former Ambassador
to the Court of St. james, made n stir
ring and patriotic speech which wat
loudly cheered. Upon the Mexican
question he said:
appeal to the heart and the head Of
every gentleman present in this cham
Der to night; that in this trying situa
ton there is but one duty for all Of MS,
and that il to stand by the President OF
the United States.
You may call it diplomatic business.
you may call it executive business. but
it is fair to assume that the President
is in possession of information vastly
superior to that which even all Of the
members of the Chamber Of Commerce
possess. He knows what he is about.
He knows what he il aiming at.
One thing we are sure of: that he is
for preserving peace ut all hazards, and
that by no act of his shall this nation
be plunged into destructive and n
dreadful war. He Is entitled to that
from NJ without regard to party and
without regard to ereeds. We must
stand by our President through thick
and through thin, and we shall come
out right in the end.
Turning to the tariff question Mr.
Choate said:
This President Of ours has been in
Office now for nine months, and he has
been working very hard; with, as | be-
lieve, no desire In his heart except to
serve the American people with the
best of his ability, and he has accom-
plished Il great deal.
He has passed II bill for the reforma
ton of the tariff. | do not know
whether that IN sore or joyful subject
in this company. but for one think he
has done exceedingly well in that bust
ness. He has satisfied the yearnings of
the American people that have been
suppressed for the last twenty years,
These are the words Of Il big broad
minded man and they fairly represent
public opinion.

A dog was among the hundreds of
gifts, 1t was Pekinese spaniel, pre-
sented to the bride by the members of
the American embassy staff at Lon
don. This dog was in evidence at the
wedding of its mistress, just as the
Manchurian poodle owned by Miss
Alice Roosevelt insisted on appearing
at her wedding to Representative
Longworth.
The women voters of Northern Cal
ifornia sent silver service of old
colonial design costing $1,000.
