SOME FAMILIAR MECHANICS

Two of the most familiar figures in the news
of the day John Bull and Uncle Sam. How
did they get their names? If you've forgotten
be reminded.
In the days of Dean Swift and Alexander
Pope lived a Scotch author and physician by
the name of John Arbuthnot. In 1712 he pub
lished the History of John Bull" one of the
Pope signed the preface. The creation of the
character has been attributed to Swift, but err
roneously. John Bull as nickname has been
traced no farther back than Arbuthnot
The name "Uncle Sam" is applied to America
as John Bulp' is applied to England. 1t arose
at the time of the last war Hetween England
and America A cOmmissariat contractor named
Ebert Anderson had stOreyard at Troy, N
Y. Samuel Wilson the Government inspec-
tor in charge of the examination of supplies
furnished by the contractor. Everybody called
him Uncle Sam" The casks were marked "E.
A.-U. s." Some of the employees at the yard
possessions. "U. s." meant "Uncle Sam" they
said They liked their joke, and passed it on
down the river, where Wilson known.
Pretty soon the nickname became generally
familiar the nickname of America.
Brother Jonathan is a collective personif-
cation of the people of the United States. At
the beginning of the Revolution, when Wash
ington went to Massachusetts to organize his
army he found n great lack of ammunition
and other necessary supplies. He had great
faith in the judgment of Jonathan Trumbull
Governor of Connecticut. I'VE must consult
Brother Jonathan on the subject" he said He
byword, though respectful one, in the Conti-
mental Army. When difficulties arose men
would say 1--WE must consult Brother Jona-

NNE thing we held against the late Elbert
" Hubbard his worse than insincerity

from Edward Mott Woolley, who conducts
a column called "Other Peoples Business"
Occasionally, it seems to us, somebody's nose
protrudes too far into that. For instance,
this expert puts his o. *. upon a letter which
a certain haberdasher has prepared for his
clerks to send out to their customers and
which concludes with this impertinent bit of
familiarity:

THE pRovosTs EMANCIPATION PLAN

ITTHEN Provost Smith appealed to the
w New York alumni oc the University for
a larger endowment and advocated election
OF the trustees by the graduates he made
vocal the thoughts of thousands of the
friends Of the institution. The University is
growing so rapidly that it needs more money
for it's current expenses. This can be OBJ
tanned in two ways either by a large annual
State appropriation, or by great gifts from
the friends of education who believe that the
University should be separated so far as
possible from dependence on the favor of
politicians. The Provost evidently favors the
latter way.
II there were direct representation OF the
alumni on the board of trustees, as a matter
OF right and not Of grace, it is likely that
much of the dissatisfaction which has found
expression in recent months would disap-
pear. The Provost is confronted by such an
opportunity TO lead in both these movements
as has seldom come to any man in a like
position.
