DEVELOPERS ASK
4 WILSON TO NAME NORTH
! WESTERNER

Believing the liberal and fair treat
ment accorded settlers and the do
nestle immigration policy Of the
Canadian Interior department, is very
largely responsible for the exodus of
farmers from the United States, the
Northwest Development League over
the signatures of it's officers, has sent
a long telegram to President-elect Viii
son urging a western man for the
interior portfolio. 55sGts SIX. 1 II
While mentioning no names, two
governors in the territory Of the
league have been mentioned for sec
rotary of the interior and the leagues
telegram to the president-elect may
be taken as an endorsement Of either
Governor Norris Of Montana or Of
Governor Burke of North Dakota.
President Penweu would not say the
league had anyone in mind but simply
I'VE want western man who under
stands the problems of the west-some
one who will when it is already within
the power Of the interior department,
match the policies of foreign coun-
try and help develop and settle our
lands. -: ~
Nv. w. Scott, superintendent Of
immigration department OF interior,
Dominion Of Canada, informs us $780,
900 people came to his country from
the United States last. year and esti-
mates more will go the coming year.
IAN estimate of their wealth by Mr..
Scott places same at $1,000 per capita.
With equal opportunities SO far as
land is concerned on this side Of the
line, the Canadian interior department
policies are widely credited with de-
priving the United States Of farmers
with years of experience, accumulated
wealth and families Of growing boys
and girls. II !; Il ;355 II. X.
In it's work of trying to keep these
people at home to develop our agri-
cultural lands, this organization seeks
the assistance of our own Interior de-
partment, and it is thought in the
west and northwest we can look to
your coming administration for Co
operation and assistance. 81 's5f
| eve believe the interior department
will have more important relations
with the west during the next decade
than with, any other part of the coun-
try and for this reason urge the ap-
pointment to this Important position
Of a western man who understands
the problems and can more readily put
into practice policies which will en-
able US to compete for desirable SET
tiers with any other country. 53 S

New Ships and Old Names.

Frcm the Cincinnati Times Star.
It was when the United States first be-
gan to build modern battleships that the
law requiring that they should bear the
names. of states was enacted. Now that
the list is complete, the question as to
what names shall be given the ships yet
to he built becomes an interesting one.
Rear Admiral Andrews, chief of the
bureau of navigation. recommends the
revival of the names of vessels that We're
famous in the early days OF the republic.
He urges thai the Ranger, by which
name Paul Jones first ship of war was
known would do admirably for a new
drea dnough; Other names he suggests
are the Alfred, upon which the first
American flag was raised; the Niagara,
the Bonhomme Richard. the Constitution,
the Constellation. the Congress and the
Franklin.
Every one OF these names is historic,
and the list could be largely increased
without being made to include a single
name that would have an unfamiliar
sound TO American ears.
Great Britain has long adhered to the
policy of keeping the names of its IA
NOUS ships alive by the simple expedient
or trdnS1 erTllS tbSiil tioH me Oh the
new. 1t has found that policy a wise one,
if only because one of its results Is to
remind the officers and crew Of a ship
bearing a distinguished name that they
have glorious traditions to maintain.
If name associated with some impor-
tant event in our national history has
any value as a patriotic object lesson
that value would be Increased by keeping
1t constantly. but always worthily, in the
public eye. The big warships we are now
building are in themselves objects of ad-
miration, but they could be made to pos
sess an added interest We're they named
after the vessels that did glorious service
TO the nation in the past.
