Change the German Names.

In letter addressed to the COVER
Eors of the United States, the Ameri-
can Defense Society has asked for the
remaining of cities and villages with
German names, and in a similar let
ter addressed to the mayors Of lead
ing cities asked that they follow the
lead OF Indianapolis in abolishing all
German titles for streets. surely,
SAWS the letter. names more pleasing
to the people Of this country can be
found than those which will in
G ovitably and forever suggest the ma
tion whom the whole world has come
to hate and despise. The American
Defense Society suggests as substi-
tute names, those of the brave
French and Belgian towns which a
wanton army has obliterated. that
through them We may constantly be
reminded of our duty to avenge des-
truction.'
At the headquarters of the Defense
Society, Richard NJ. Hurd, chairman
Of the Board of Trustees. said that
the action of the Defense Society fol-
lowed that recently taken in In
I dianapolis. in remaining such streets
as Bismarck avenue and Berlin
boulevard. The action shows a very
wholesome temper among the peo-
pie" said Mr.. Hurd. The time has
come when everything suggestive Of
Germanism must CO."
II is interesting to sec to what ex-
tent German names exist in the
United States. There are no less
than twenty seven "Berlins' in this
country. The name of the city which
Is the heart and core of the military
system which we are sworn to OBJ
literate Is perpctuatcd in cities and
Villages in Alabama, California, Con-
nccticut, Florida, Georgia, Illinois,
Iowa, Maryland. Massachusetts,.

| Hampshire. New York. New Jersey,
North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio,
Oklahoma. Oregon, Pennsylvania,
South Carolina, Washington and Wis

west. we must perpetuate this hated
name.
There are almost as many Ameri-
can cities named "Bismarck' as are
named after our own great Lincoln.
There are "Bismarcks" in Arkansas,
Illinois. Missouri, North Dakota,
Pennsylvania. Virginia and Okla
homa. Hamburg the great Prussian
port. has namesake in twenty
states. Eight cities are named
Bremen" eleven Dresden" and
there are Hanovers in every part of
the nation--twenty-tw in all.
There are even two villages-one in
Missouri. and one in Wisconsin,
named Kaiser. The name does not
appear TO be a drawing card, because
the population is too small to be
listed. But why should such a name
exist at all, on any map, or in any
record?
We name our children after those
whom we love, and similarly we name
our cities after persons or places for
which we have a great affection, The
Germans who came to this country

o lonely pine, art thou n ourning still
For the birds that left thy bowers,
When the autumn winds blew wild and
chill
And the frost-king stole the flowers?
For thy summer friends that dropped
and fell
In the cruel tempests blast?

Grieve not for the mournful past.

What the south winds sweetly sing?

For I come with songs of spring"
Now the bending sky grows softly blue
AT their gentle. fond caress;
And the sunlight falls in richer hue
On thy tranquil loveliness.
Thy sloping heights to each tassled gem
Yields the sunlight and the dew.
While many woodland diadem
Does the thicket hide from view.
Round the valiant oak the chilling
breeze
And the white rime bound their chain.
And countless hosts OF the forest leaves
In the crimson tide were slain
On the battle-ground. though desolate,
Thou art still erect, sublime,
my youth bent not by the strength OF
Or years by the hand of time.
Thou hast stood the test, o glorious
pine,
Of the cruel winters blast.
And the brightest laurels at thy shrine
ror thy faithfulness we cast.

STAMPEDE OPENS
 THIS AF FTERN00N

Following a parade at 10:30 o'clock this morning, the Stampede at River side park will begin, the gates of the park being opened immediately and the show starting at o'clock in the afternoon.
 Under the direction of Robert Mo lntyre, an aggregation of cowboys, ropers. steer riders, bronco busters, calf tyers and other wild western types has been gathered together for this occasion. Many characters we'll known to the people of Phoenix will be present.
 Doc Pardee of Prescott, who has been at every stampede and Pioneer Days ever held in the southwest, will, of course, be present at this one and will direct the contests.
 The Indian school band and the City band will furnish music for the occa- sion.
 Vera McGinnis, famous woman trick rider, is already here and will be seen every day in various exhibitions at the park.
 Little Joe' Tyler. another girl bronco rider, will have prominent part in the contests and exhibitions.
 One of the most unique features will be the staging of the reputed western stage hold-up. An old stage, similar to those used in the early pioneer days, will be attacked by band of Indians in all their attendant glory of war paint and shrill war cries. The cow boys will then sweep in to the rescue of the victims. with their spirit ot daring.
 Blackberry Slim Johnson, also well-known for his numerous feats in wild western style. will be among the contestants at the show.
 One of the principal features will be the presence of Fred T. Colter, demo- cratic nominee for governor of Ari- zona, who is scheduled to give an exhi- bition of roping and tying.
 The Stampede will last for three days. Saturday, Sunday and Monday.
