NAME-CHANGING BY LAW.


A New York City jurist-John W. Golf
displayed the law Illuminated by strong com
mon sense when he recently denied the applica-
ton of man who wished to change his name
from Polakoff to Parker. The applicant stated
ir his petition that because his name was of
foreign origin it operated a hindrance to
both his social and commercial standing.
Justice Goff's words in reply were so wise
and conclusive that they may we'll be printed
here as a short essay on the essentials in the
case:
Polakoff is a name of Slavic origin and
tingushed have borne it. The applicant is

garded with respect by those who know him.
On the other hand if polakoff is not such
man, bearing the name OF Parker would not al
sufficient Application denied.
The Gate City is convinced that there is al
together too widespread practice Of trying
to change the essence and fibre by changing
the name; notion that you make a thing
SO simply by calling it So Justice Golf has
done well to explode this bubble.
Such applications for change by persons
whose names are unfamiliar upon the Ameri-
can tongue are very frequent, and in some
eases no harm is done by permitting the change
to name more easily understood and pro.
nounced by an English speaking people. But
when the actual, if unacknowledged, wish of
the applicant is to avoid recognition as mem
Der of different race, perhaps to gain some
advantage thereby. the permission to change
a surname should be granted with great eau
ton A foreigner ought not to be ashamed of
his native country; indeed, he should care
enough for it to accept his national patrony
mic, if it comes to that. His eagerness to be-
come an American is leading him far astray if
he imagines that his first duty-or even inter
est-is to dress himself up in new name.

GOODS" TELLS
or YOUTHS SIN SECRETS
Film Drama Released Here Carries a
Thrilling Inside Story of
Wedding Tragedy.

The plot of Damaged Goods" the
remarkable film play just released
for showing here carries a story that
unhappily is repeated in the secret
history of many a young man of the
day.
Despite its dark passages 1t is
cleanly portrayed on the screen and
interest is maintained evenly through
the seven reels.
The picture is to be seen here at
the Iris theater Monday, April "a,
matinee and night.
The story of the play centers about
the role of George Dupont which is
taken by Richard Bennett, the fam
Gus actor who produced the play on
the speaking stage with such sensa-
tional success.
George Dupont, young man of
excellent home training and of hon
est ambitions has jolly evening
with the boys. He is engaged to be
| married and this is final fling and a
| farewell to the days of bachelor
hood. He drinks too much and with
boon companion he visits two wom-
| en- of the kind whom G. B. Shaw
tried to chaperon on the stage in
| Mrs. Warren's Profession" 1t is
not long before he discovers that the
"indiscretion" has brought horr-
BILE punishment upon him. Driven
to despair by the thought that his
very blood is tainted he seeks cure.
| His situation is rendered all the
more pitiable by the fact that he is
| engaged to be married to a decent
| young woman.
| A long delay in the wedding is
bound to set tongues wagging, and
like the rest of us the poor fellow is
in mortal dread of what people"
| will say about him. He buries his
secret from all. but he cannot hide
ii from himself He is on the point
of doing away with himself when he
is rescued by the girl who had con
taminated him. The girl tells of her
own salvation from mental and bod
lily ruin through the ministrations of
a highly skilled and noble hearted
physician. She urges her victim to
consult this same doctor.
The doctor examines the young
man and tells him that it will take at
least two years to regain his health
He adds the significant warning: "If
you marry before that time you will
be criminal" In the meantime his
mother, his bride and all his rela-
tives and friends ply him with quest
ions as to the delay of the marriage
He evades as well as he can and fol-
lows the advice of his doctor until he
reads the "ad" of quack who prom
ises to cure all victims of blood
poisoning in three months time. He
visits the quack, whose suave manner
assures him. and despite his better
knowledge and the promptings of
his conscience he marries. The rest
can indeed be told much better in
pictures than in words.
