to be "free9" And the Russians,
the only people who really liber-
ated themselves, are in almost daily
cSmbat with the armed forces of
several other countries, who did not
even go through the formality OF
declaring war on Russia. 1t seems
as though the style of liberty the
Russians got for themselves does
not suit some of the other nations.
SO you can easily see that the
word '.liberty" in many cases is
meaningless, and it would be so if
applied to street. | would re-
spectfully suggest that East
Boundary be changed to "Erie
Street" That would be more APP
propriate, as it is the nearest street
in the town to Lake Erie. The sug-
gestion to change Louisiana Ave
nue." to Central Avenue" is an
excellent one, and can hardly be
improved upon. 1t certainly would
be more appropriate than the pres
ent name. To change the name of
the Fremont Pike" seems entirely
unnecessary. But if the town wants
to change it, and in doing so to give
honor to a hero, | would respectful
ly suggest that they honor the one
whom General Pershing said was
the really greatest hero of the en-
tire American force. and change
Fremont Pike" to "'York Road, -
in honor of that homely little red
headed sergeant from Tennessee
Alvin 7. York, who, single handed
and alone, captured greater num-
ber of the enemy than any other
American. If you want to give out
honors in the military line, give
them to those who carried the guns,
and not to the highest commits
stoned officers. 'Findlay Road
seems to be very appropriate for
the Findlay road. At least it in
dicates what it is. Buff the town
wants to be stylish and call it a
drive" why, let 'er go. Brother
Hillard's suggestion to change
West Boundary" to "Ever-
green" is a good one, looking at it
from a purely sentimental point of
view. But Evergreen" would
hardly be very appropriate name
for street, and with an apology to
Bro. Hillard, | would respectfully
suggest that ''West Boundary be
changed to "Fort Street" it being
the nearest to and almost adjoin-
ing that dear old historical spot,
Fort Meigs. Now, it is hoped that
the good people Of the Burg will not
be offended at these suggestions
from outsiders and will take them
in the same spirit in which they are
made, namely, for the improvement

MORE SUGGESTIONS
On the Subject of Changing
Street Names

Editor journal 1t is easy to see
that | started something. Some Of
the suggestions of Bro. Hillard OF
Chicago, in regard to the remaining
of some of the streets of the village
are fine. There can be no doubt but
what "Ninth Street" would be
much more appropriate than
"South Boundary" Liberty
Street." instead of East Bound
ary, !" to my way of thinking, would
hardly be appropriate, for numer-
Gus and divers reasons. That word
Liberty in the past few months
has been greatly overworked
throughout the entire United
States. 1t seems to be used at all
times, all places, and under almost
all conditions, and in most eases
very inappropriately. While it is
no doubt true that certain peoples
have been liberated in the past
year, there are many millions of
them who have their liberty yet

The Wigmore letter is in form and
substance purely private communica-

professional brethren upon purely

part as personal reply to my speech
upon the subject of military justice in

frankly states throughout the communi-
cation that it is an expression of his
an official communication upon the
public business. In one place ne says

These communications, consisting
of some seventy pages, all appear to
have been printed at the Government

ernment expense. But my principal
purpose IN calling the matter to your
attention is to be found in the obvious
fact that the transmission of this per-
sonal communication. through the mails
OF the United States s official business
at public expense is in fragrant viola
ton of the penal laws of the United
States prohibiting free transmission OF
private matter. 1t is to be observed
also that the subject matter of the
communication can have no possible
relationship to the business of the
War Industries Board and, besides, il
is thought that the board has LONG
since ceased to exist.
Accordingly, | have the honor to re
quest that you cause this matter to be
