OTHER VIEW POINTS

A man named Kannofsky appeared before Justice Russell Benedict, in the supreme court in Brooklyn, asking to have his name changed to Kenyon. Justice Benedict said that this would be. unjust to the Kenyon family, to permit their name, to DC used by peo- pie who were ashamed of their own or wanted to diguise their race or e1- traction for some reason. This lack of pride in name and family in some of our modern immigrants is most dis couraging. The newcomers that have | now become the substance of our c1tt- zenship, from western Europe. never | thought of such a disgraceful thing | Waterbury American.

 news of Hawker's rescue thrilled us all.
 { Sometimes we get discouraged over 1 this thing we call human nature. But ! so long as people the world over ad- i mire heroism and stop to do homage to l the hero, there is hope,

 l It has become a chase by political l leaders for the woman vote. which
 they seem to think will go to the par.y 1 that gives the privilege to them. The 1 desire for success is stronger than , any serious thought on the ultimate
 possibilities.
 It is our guess that this notion of
 vote-catchinc will be disproved by the outcome. The women will not vote as ] women. but as citizens. if they vote
 at all. Moreover. the probability IS that they will not be led by the Boi- shevik sort of agitators. who have been 1 posing as representatives ot women ! in public life This will come hard on ] the agitators. but the repuohc can stand it.-Hartford Courant,
 A good deal is said about the prob. ability of home made intoxicants and chemically compounded alcoholic bev-
 eyages when prohibition holds sway. In fact such attempts are being made now and some concerns are doing an apparently thriving business in selling receipts and ingredients. The results are sudden and certain. One contem-
 porary tells of a man who took one
 drink of a manufactured whiskey and then went out and stole his own watch
 A despatch of a day or two ago from
 Indianapolis says that a fellow ln h.
 dianapolis drank some amateur beer
 and then robbed Q freight car. All of
 which proves again that booze IS bad and dangerous whether made by pro! fessional or amateur.-Bristol Press.
 Whatever may be the outcome oi the presidents reque-c to congress tc repeal the war time prohibition of beer

 that sale is permitted.
 !, The question now is whether liquid! : called wine and beer shall be prohibit
 ed even though their content of alcoho ' | is so small as not to be intoxicating Extreme prohibitionists would ban ev
 erything which has even the nan1e O
