Something more than change
in the Old Testament history of
creation is threatened by the reported
discovery that tablet Just deciphered
in Philadelphia reveals that it was
Adam and not Eve who ate of the
forbidden fruit. If the bit of baked
clay that has just been translated after
keeping its secret for some 5000 years
tells the truth the first man was not
named Adam, but Tagtug, who is de-
clared by the solver of the tablet to
be the same as Noah, so that the cpl
sodes of the food and the garden of
Eden are in way identical and not
detached as in the accepted version of
early history. The most important
aspect OF this reading of the tablet,
however, is not the identification of
Adam and Noah, but the acauittal of
Eve of Adams temptation, and if this
is accepted womankind is relieved of
a grievous burden which has been
borne for many centuries.

Bulgaria Invites Bids.

Since the beginning of the war the
position of Bulgaria has been ques-
ton of acute interest to all Euro
pean statesmen, and especially to the
military leaders of the warning pow
ers. 1t was recognized early that
Bulgaria would be an effective ally
for either side, particularly in the
event OF Rumania joining the anti
Teutonic forces. For year the
government at Sofa has negotiated
and has been negotiated with by all
the powers at war, it seeking ad-
vantageous terms, and they seeking
to secure Bulgaria's intervention on
their own terms. Bulgaria cannot
be blamed in this situation. for adopt
ing a frank attitude of bargaining.
The latest statement to come from
there is a specific avowal that Bull
garia is in the market for the highest
bidder.
This may be for the time the best
policy for Bulgaria to adopt, but it
has its perils. Intervention secured
under such stress of sharp dealing

Peace Overtures to Russia +?

A dispatch from Petrograd states
that from an "unimpeachable source"
it is learned that the German en-
peror last week made an offer Of peace
to Russia through the King of Den
mark, and that the car replied that
the question of peace negotiations
could not be raised at the present
time. This may be believed, as it is
unquestionably the policy of Ger
many, if possible, to break up the
anti-Teutonic alliance. If Russia can
be beaten in the field through the
destruction of her armies Germany's
task will be greatly simplifed. If the
capture of Warsaw had been accom-
panied by the capture of the major
portion of the cars troops, or their
decentralization through defeat. the
campaign in the east would have
been a brilliant success for Germany.
But tip to the present, notwithstand-
ing the series of successes before and
since the capture of Warsaw, the
Russian armies are relatively intact
and remain a menace to Germany
If the present fanking movements
northeast of Warsaw succeed large
part of the Russian army may be en-
veloped, but as the days pass it ap-
pears probable that the Grand Duke
Nicholas will extricate his forces
with comparatively small losses
In these circumstances the report
of German effort to detach Russia
from the alliance by means of
separate peace is credible. Some
consideration must have been sug-
gested to .Petrograd, and one dis
patch, which lacks any suggestion of
authenticity, states that the proposal
comprised the grant to Russia of
Galicia in exchange for Russian
Poland. This proposed disposal of
Austrian territory is not altogether
unbelievable, in view of the manner
in which Won Buelow at Rome last
spring offered Austrian cities and
lands to Italy as the price of neu-
trality.

is likely to be resented by the power
that for the time gains the favor OF
Bulgaria's aid. There will. of course,
come a day of settlement, when one
side or the other dominates in Eu-
rope, when the conquering Teutons
or the conquering allies are masters
of the continent. Then any one OF
the smaller powers that have joined
the war as result of shrewd traffick-
ing must beware of penalties for hav-
ing held up the contestants in their
hour of need. Bargains will presum-
ably be kept, unless as result of
this war all international agreements
become as mere scraps of paper. But
there are ways in diplomacy to make
the driver of hard bargain regret
the employment of what is no less
than blackmail.

Renewing the Ship Fight.

Advocates OF a government owned
and operated American merchant
marine are presenting their case in
much the same terms employed last
winter. The matter, they insist, is
beyond the power of private capital.
At any rate, private capital has for
years neglected the field, and now
the field is larger and more difficult
of cultivation than ever. Let the
government enter, and the problem
will soon be solved. Then when a
merchant marine worthy the name
has been established the government
can retire in favor of private enter
prise.
But. reply the opponents of this
scheme, would the government re-
tire? Should it retire? Conceding
success to the scheme and money and
other profit to the government, why
should not the government in such
circumstances hold on to its in
vestment? Why abandon good
thing? Would not national issue
on that point be raised?
The fear goes beyond this. What
about the railroads? Men in favor
of government ownership and opera
tion of railroads would be en-
couraged to renewed activity, based
upon the proposition that land trans
portation should follow sea transport
tation into the hands of the govern
ment. AS one has been made to pay
as government property, why not the
other? Mr.. Bryan, while mute on the
subject for several years, has never
changed his opinion in favor of gov
eminent ownership and operation of
railroads.
From railroads to telegraph and
telephone lines would be but step.
Indeed, strong sentiment already
exists in favor of taking that step.
The government, it is argued, would
merely enlarge its postal functions.
Why should it not send swift mes
So6SS AOi thS PSOPiC ny WIG as WSh
as slow messages by mail?
This general consideration is given
to the subject by those who dread an
entering wedge for state socialism.
If an ambitious beginning of govern
ment ownership and operation is
made of public utilities heretofore or
now privately owned and operated,
the policy may get beyond check and
soon transform our whole govern
mental structure.
The argument that as private CAPT
tai has not entered this field it will
not, and hence the government must
cultivate it, is not persuasive. What
British and German and Japanese
private capital, encouraged by gov
eminent assistance, has done Ameri-
can private capital should be able to
do with similar aid. Why not try in
this country a policy which has
achieved signal success elsewhere?

New York.

The New York constitutional con-
vention is drawing to close. At the
November the people will vote on the
new instrument presented. At the
same time they will choose a new
state assembly. The present senate
holds over If the new charter is rati-
fed at the polls the new legislature
will be required to put its provisions
into action.
The Importance of this work to the
commonwealth is very great. New
York is truly the Empire state. She
is large in area, large in wealth, large
in national politics. This has de-
veloped within her borders men of
large capacity for public business,
state and national. Since the civil
war the democratic party has gone to
New York five times for its presi-
dental candidate. Seymour. Greeley,
Tildcn. Cleveland and Parker make
up the list. The republicans have
gone there but once-in the case of
Mr.. Roosevelt-but four New York
ers-Root. Whitman, Hughes and

sion for next years presidential

1ator and executive, and his advice

Misspelled Names.

A man has just asked the District
Supreme Court for permission to
change his name. filing as an exhibit
list of forty different misspellings
of his patronymic, selected at random
from correspondents. The name it
self is not obviously susceptible to
many mistakes, yet this applicants
experience is by no means remarka-
Bile. There is great carelessness in
the reading and writing Of proper
names. The simplest, most frequent
names are misspelled i'll manuscript
because they have not been atten-
lively studied. Some of the mistakes
made in proper names rise not un-
naturally from the ELIGIBILITY of sig
natures, and for these the writers Of
those signatures have only them
selves to blame. A signature should
be plain presentation of title. 1t
should not be necessary to study it
analytically or to guess at it, but un-
fortunately in a large percentage of
cases in business and social CORE
spondence signatures are crytic to
the point of actual ELIGIBILITY. 1t
does not follow that in the case of
this present applicant for permission
to change his name the handwriting
is at fault. Possibly his signature is
as plain as print" Certainly when
a mans name can be misspelled forty
different ways he is justified in seek
ing for some method of identification
even to the extent of a radical
change.

Signs of Change.

When you see a man parading
In suit of clothing light.
And his color scheme is shading
Down to shoes of faultless white,
You can bet it will be chilly
In another hour or SO
And his shoes will look quite silly
When the winds begin to blow.
When you find the man appearing
Cautiously in autumn wear,
Buttoned up as if he's fearing
Too much contact with the air,
When he carries an umbrella
As he shiyers down the street,
It requires no fortune teller
To foresee a spell of heat.
