Yes. there are ten coats Of arms for
the family, located in various parts of
France and Germany. The name Is not
FOUND in English and l shall be glad to
give the proper coat OF arms.
Mrs. /. P. c. writes as follows: q
would like very much to have you tell
me something of the origin of the name
Palmer. also OF the coat OF arms IL
there is any. We have been told that
the first Of that name came to this
country on the Mayflower and that the
name Is one OF seven inscribed on
Plymouth Rock ia early days. Is this
a fact?
Although the Palmers were early
settlers Of Plymouth colony, they did
not come over in the Mayflower, as the
name does not appear in the list of
1O2 who arrived in that famous bark.
However. William Palmer arrived in
Plymouth colony in 1921 on the For
tune" He was accompanied by his
wife, Frances, and his son, William. In
1927 the names OF this family appear
in a list OF the inhabitants OF Plymouth
in record of a division Of cattle. 1t
Is said that William Palmer was a ma
tive OF Northampton, England. One
family record, apparently erroneous,
says that William and his wife Fran
ces and son william arrived on the
Anne IN 1923. y coat OF arms OF the
English family is blazoned thus; Ar
gent, on two bars sable, three tretoils,
slipped OF the second, in chief a grey
hound courant. OF the first, collared or.
| Crest: greyhound. sable. The motto
Is palma VIRTUE" The name was first
applied to a palmer, who was AN in
cessant pilgrim" 4 palmer was more
| than a Crusader-he made a lifelong
practice of visiting shrines and places
Of religious importance in the Holy
Land.
To J. A. C., who asks for information
OF the name Pirkle. We trace our
people back to Jacob Pirkle, who
served in the second Maryland regi-
ment under Captain Ely Dorsey
writes J. A. c. Our people lived in
North Carolina, out all the records I
can find show them to have been born
in that state"
I am sorry not to be able to help
]. A. c. I am inclined to think that the
family is not OF English origin, as the
only name I can find similar is Piechel,
established in early times and at pres
ent in parts OF Germany. There ap-
pears to be no English name sugges-
tive of it. Can any of our readers give
any further informat ton OF the family?

Answers to Correspondents.

To. \. r. c, who asks for the origin
OF the names Knight and Coate:
Probably the name knight was derived
from the Anglo-Saxon word that meant
a servant or military follower. from which
the title or name spelling was derived.
The name Coste is derived from the
Parishes 80 named in the counties OF
Gloucester, Lincoln, York, etc.
To W. W. W. who asks for origin and
coat Of arms Of the name Wiltshire.
This name, with Wilsher and Wiltshire,
are derived from the County of Wiltshire
The coat OF arms is blazoned thus: Per
chevrcn, azure and or, in chief six crosses
crosslet Of the second. The crest is a
lion rampant, gules, named proper.
To z. B L. who asks for something
OF the LaIsue family, the coat Of arms,
etc"
I find that the first settler Of the name
LaRue in this country was Johan George
Larue, a native OF Switzerland, who emil
grated to this country about 1T4O and
settled in Lancaster, Pa. his descendants
going from thence to various southern
States and elsewhere in this country
The only coat Of arms that I have been
able to find for the family OF the name
in Switzerland Is described thus in the
language OF the rench heralds. "Dazur,
au lion naissant, d'argent tenant entire
ses pattes IN rose du meme" That is a
blue shield on which is the upper part
Of lion Colored silver, holding between
his paws a rose Of silver. The name
was originally de Ia Rue and there are
families OF that name in Normandy,
Paris, Brussels and other continental To-
calities. In England there Is family
called Rue that was originally de la Rue.
The coat OF arms for this English family
IS: Argent, on a bend between two cotises,
sable, three mullets of the field
To F. N. P. who asks for information
OF the Minney family, I am at a loss
to find the origin or coat Of arms of
this name. No name so spelled appears
In any English or Continental books on
nomenclature. I am inclined to think
that It IS a recently changed spelling Of
the name Minet, which Is found in France
and also in England where 1t was brought
BY Protestant refugees after the revoca-
tion OF the edit OF Nantes. Perhaps the
spelling Minney was devised to suggest
the French pronunciation OF the name
Mfnet. VIII some Of our readers add
some light to this problem.

WHY IT IS CLOSE.

'rha c, ose vote in the presidential o,oot;on ia not because of anything wonderfully different in Hughes and Wilson.
 Before Hugahes was nominated and when he was Cnly possibility, and when Teddy had an eye on the nomination himself, Roosevelt is said to have declared that "a com petent barber could remove the diff erence between Hughes and WiisoA in ten minutes.
 That being so, and the dea' peepul being called upon to nake choice, is it any wonder the election is so close?
 In fact the public in this has had a hard choice to make. When the two men are like as two peas, ,t re ouires considerable head scratching and ballot scratching to make de- cision. That is what seems to nave taken place. It was not questloh of deciding which was the better

TIMELY SUGGESTION.

While other reverend up-lifters are concerning themselves with the poor and lowly as a side order to their mile post mission to the road to Heaven, it is mighty few have thought of the field lying fallow which might repay cultivation even in tainted money rewards.
 So therefore when pr. M'Dowell. good presbyterian minister, pro- poses to save the rich men, who can fail to note rich strike? =.
 The idea is a dandy. There ought to be lots of money showing the men of money the right way to get through the eye of a needy, but the Rev. M'Dowells will deliver the goods.

Yesterday we published


 great passenger lists, showing that very great number indeed are leaving for the outside. Most of those are persons who call them. selves Alaskans, and many aro sourdoughs. They however do not find Alaska quite attractive enough in the winter to stay through, anc seek the sunnier and more effemin- ate outside.
 Notwithstanding this, it is positive that should any person addressing these attempt to pretend that there was any place like Alaska, that per son so claiming would have bad half hour.
 The long suit of politician and office seeker has been the fact that he is an Alaskan with his home in the Northland. The glories and the joys and the pleasures of life in AL aska are extolled in verbal pigments of great beauty. And everyone who hears rises to the occasion with pro- longed and patriotic applause is deafening.
 In point of fact just as soon as a man makes a stake in this section of Alaska he manifests an eagerness to jump out that is quite remarkable and the man who but yesterday was denouncing the chechacoes who came and went with the wild geese avails himself of the opportunity of getting out just as soon as the Lord him.
 There is an immense amount of bull peddled about Alaska. Life here is not as enjoyable as life out side is. In Alaska people are de- nied many things that is their privi lege outside, and although many have had the call of the wild, rela- lively few stayed with it if they could possibly get out.
 It is true that the man who has to struggle to exist outside has no sort of picnic. And many find the economic stress in this section less severe than that of the Outside. A good many therefore when this grows too strong after they left AL aska, get what they call the gold fever and return to the north. But they are merely doing the same thing that the worker does who quits one job when the labor gets

sULZER OR WICK.

While the election of delegate is almost as uncertain as the Presi- dential election outside, it is very interesting to observe that the small lest victory that Wickersham has ever been able to gain has been in this election even if he does win. And this is the only election when the Seattle Post Intelligencer lined up in his favor.
 There have been many peculiar things in this election, but how the Republican National Committee and the Seattle Post Intelligencer SUD- ported Wickersham and why, are matters that will have to be explain ed by some other reason than that he "prevented them putting any job over" while he was at Washing ton

NO PEACE.

The readers of the daily papers may have entertained a most de- ceiving opinion for the past few days that there has been no fighting in Europe. That is merely because the general election has been fought in the States and the New York press agencies as we'll as others have been too busy getting out election pro- phecies, forecasts and political dope of one sort or another to indulge in any warning. The great experts who have been providing battles for the American digestion have been on a hunger rest while the po- liticians who have been devising re- publican or democratic victories usurped them in the pleasures oi imaginative work.
 Now however that the overworked political dopesters will soon be talk ing a rest, the war men will again come to their own and bloody bat ties and glorious German or Allied victories be the order of the day.

BEATEN BACK.

AS everyone knows the strikers were defeated in Bayonne and went back to work. They knew they had lost and their leader Georg Melcher had advised them to aban, don the unequal struggle.
 Standard Oil, the police and gun men were too much for them. The police and gunmen served the con- pany exclusively. The strike, the authorities regarded as a revolt against their authority. They treated the strikers as criminals and the day that the strikers were defeated they refused to let the Chairman of the strike committee, see, meet or attend meeting of the men. They told him to get out. The chief of police with a gang of armed gun men told him to get out that he had no business there The strike leader replied that "you have gun but not tho law, and 1 will leave"
 More and more frequently do of ficials high and low constitute them. selves the special guardians of the special interests.
 More and more frequently is the very suggestion of a strike regarded as civic outrage. And those who are connected with it criminals tc be represside by all the forces at he command of the state and the ma. ton.
 It is a refestion of the economic supremacy. Against the baror was against the King, and against the industrial overlords now is against the state and nation.

[ too strenuous to discover another which promises to be lighter. Not that they succeed, but hope springs eternal in the human breast, especi- ally in Alaska.
 Because so many enjoy this perpe- tual hoping, we find that year after year, despite the small prospects. so many return. They have no relish for the severity of the struggle for existence outside and are usually glad to get back.

man, but reaching a conclusion as to which was which.
 There is something consoling about this condition for the aver age man, seeing that it was bound to go one way or another and as the two are so much alike, it will make very litle difference either way. So if it wasn't Hobson's choice, it apparently is a Barber's choice. And what is the difference except to the office holder?

DRY ALASKA.

As everyone knows at the cleo ton, Alaska went dry by an over whelming majority. How many know the inner history of that dry movement, how it started in Nome and accumulated in strenth all over the Territory so that the result could no longer be n doubt?
 It is not very long ago in Nome that a person who opposed the li- quor interests could expect offici- ally to get it where the hen got the axe. But that condition is entirely changed.
 It is worth considering. The dry movement started among men who cared nothing very much for the principle Of prohibition in itself, but in order to rid the town of the sa- loon evil.
 In the winter of 1914. the Miners Union was on strike for the eight hour day. During that time a bunch Of scabs IT. one saloon beat up a union man and to add insult to in- jury the police arrested the union- man having been sent for by the saloonist for that purpose. That matter was duly reported and it was there and then suggested that in re- taIiation the best thing would be 10 Ia hn Ir0 jet
 Some members of the MinerN Union, notwithstanding the odium that attached to the work, pursued that cause with perseverance and intelligence so that it's strength grew amazingly.
 There were a large number of pro- hibitionists in Nome, small relatively to the rest of the population to be sure, and these had never been able to voice any agitation would excite anything but derision. But with unionmen lined up on the proposi- tion it assumed another aspect and the agitation took on weight in numbers and authority that led to final victory. The drys lost out in the first round, but it was a vic tory concealing defeat, for the ulti- made defeat was assured for the sa- loons
 The most interesting phase of the dry movemep: is the fact that it was given life by Labor-Union Labor. It was after it had been given life by Labor that other fac tors joined in and drove the cause to success. Where before it had been a moribund theory, with the unionists working With a purpose and for that end, it became en- dowed with all the vigor of life and became certainty. The dry ele- ment in this town however would never have dared the derision and attacks and denunciations of the saloon element had it not been for the fact that an unwarranted and unjustifiable attack upon union miners had led to the Miners Union taking the matter up, and extending backing to those whose spirit was willing but whose body was weak, made il feasible question.
