THE DEMOCRATIC IDEAL.

wonder how the other family would

Incompatible with having belonged to
beefsteak club that wasn't just an
eating club or with having chewed
tobacco with an efficiency that in
spired the awe of his fellows, or with
having swiped melons as the leader

some very plain and very sturdy
Americans. 1t doesn't find this pros

The country has been having pretty
big time of it lately and has out
grown, or thinks it has outgrown,
some of the things it used to admire.
Quite apart from the question of who
will be elected and who ought to be
elected, it will do the country good
seriously to ponder the lives of these
two men. 1t will do it good to realize
afresh that living in small town,
winning ones way in a small town
and holding the liking and the re-
spect of ones fellow citizens the
while, is not dull business, but one
that is both exciting and satisfying
to those who have character suffi-

country good to remind itself again

goods were carried in an increasing degree IN
British and in a decreasing degree in American
ships. AS one eminent historian has saio:
Hall the tonnage owned along the seaDoard
and engaged In coasting and foreign trace was
said to have been laid up. The number was
greatly overcs timated; yet there was no seaport
where many ships could not be seen dlsmantied
and literally rotting at the wharves, Wnlie
American sailors sought occupation and Ameri-
can shipwright went off to New Brunswick TO
cut timber and build vessels to carry 1t TO
Europe and to the Indies. Once more all
branches Of trade connected with shlpbulldlnS
languished and thousands of mechanics were
thrown out of employment"
In view of Great Britain S aggressive polleles
in the past and her relentless endeavor TO De-
come and remain the mistress OF the seas, there
need be no doubt in any mans mind that III the
future that government will lose no opportun-
ity to extend her ocean commerce and her 1or-
eign markets No concession that Amelca can
make will cause Great Britain to diminish her
efforts to build her foreign trade and her ocean
shipping to the highest possible degree.
The United States will be wise if it adheres
to the policy indicated by congress in its call
upon the president to secure the cancellation OF
any treaties that prevent the United States
from granting discriminatory duties in favor
of goods carried in American ships

OBJECTIONABLE TREATIES MUST GO.

Disnlavinr a deplorable disposition to dis
raoard American interests, few American
leditors express sympathy with the protes' OF
Great Britain against that section OF the A1nerl
can merchant marine law which calls upon the
nrasident TO secure the annulnent of all treaties
which prevent the United States from Imposing
duties discriminating in favor OF goods carried
on American ships. IF those gentlemen who are
inclined to take a view which is IN effect Tor
.sBritain frst'' will take the trouble to read the
h story of American shipping, it is safe to assert
that they will modify their expression OF desire
that America surrender once more to Great
Britain.
Attention has been called in The Gate City
to the fact that the first act passed by an Amerl-
can congress was a revenue bill which imposed
import duties on goods brought to this country
from foreign nations, and that one feature OF
that law was a provision which granted ten
ter cent discount in those duties If the goods
were brought in in vessels flying the American
flag That act was passed IN lIS9 and remain
cd on the statute books until 1919 In the treaty
of peace which officially terminated the war OF
lS12-14 it was agreed that the United States
would discontinue its discriminatory duties.
With much reluctance congress passed the act
rcncalinc the law which gave preferential dis
count Tor the benent OF American SnlpplhS.
And what was the result Of inducing the
/ United States to give up this advantage?
Great Britain resorted to every means to secure
the carrying trade between that country and
the United States and between the United States
and the West Indies. British goods were sent
to American ports in British ships and then
those ships loaded with goods for the West
. Indies and there reloaded with West Indian
products to be transported to Great Britain. On
this triangular voyage, the trade for which was
carefully worked up by the closely correlated
commercial interests Of Great Britain, the ships

THINGS AND NAMES.

| There is great deal in name, so much IN
fact that it has sometimes seemed that nothlng
lelse which costs so little contributes SO import
lantly to the success of a child party, move
Iment, an organization, a club or an industrial
corporation as the official, baptismal or legal
name bestowed upon it. Take Amalgamated
"copper" for example The picturesque II
ilurid historian of that concern realized at once
that it was launched under highly favorable
auspices when its chief pro1noter-who was wise
as serpent in such matters, if not always as
harmless as dove-had hit upon that happy,
aonorous, mouth-flling word for its name. Or
take Rudyard Kipling as another case In point.
How much more arduous as Peter Piffle must
have been his climb to fame. A rose might have
smelt as sweet if it had been named rinderpest;
but who can doubt that the name it now bears
fits it best?
Consider in this connection the International
Brotherhood Welfare association Who at first
thought would not be proud OF membership IN
an organization the name OF which expresses SO
finely the aspirations of all good meng Yet
when we come to know that the designation
s'Hoboes' union' tells more truly what 1t really
lis, we see that the pseudonym--as is so often
the case with shortened names or nlcknames-
throws far more light upon it's aims and char
acter than it's high-souhding incorporation
name. There is surnised to be a consonance be-
tween things and their proper names, meaning
thereby the vocables which describe them
best In other words, names which suit are be-
;lieved to be ideophonic; and Of this sort con-
ceivablv may be 'sthat new name written in a
white stone'' which all Of us should aspire to
receive and know.

IOWA PRESS COMMENT.

Coon Rapids Enterprise: Wonder
what condition the sharp contest
among republican candidates for gov
.ernor is going to leave the party in
lat the polls in November? Maybe
the party could be made more of a
unit by going outside all the candi-
dates before the primary. This
would be true if popular outside
man could be named by the conven-
ton.
Burlington Gazette: 1t Is limited
that James C. Davis friends through
out Iowa want him to make the race
for the republican senatorial nomina-
ton against Kenyon four years hence.
If they can prevail upon Mr.. Davis
to enter the contest, the present SEN
ator will have an opponent more than
worthy of his steel. James G.. Davis
lis man of real senatorial caliber.
He is big branded, big Drained, big
hearted, chock full of wit and humor
and hard common sense, an able
speaker and, if elected to the senate,

Thrift Incentive

Brooklyn Eagle: Perhaps the
man who works hard and
saves part of his earnings for rainy
day, or for the support of his family
when his death has deprived them of
his earning power will always be un-
popular with the spendthrift and
loafer, who squander all their own and
as much of anybody else's as they may
lay their hands on. Perhaps they
will always deadbeat the provident
and the thrifty man out OF part of
his savings as long as he indulgently
permits them to wheed1e it out OF him;
and then when their welcome is out
worn perhaps they will always at.

uous means, whether under the strong
arm Of bad legislation Nor the strong
arm of brute strength.
But this going on the rampage after
the man who has worked and saved,
after the business that has been well
managed and the section that has
prospered, never can make all men
or the majority or men prosperous
and happy; if persisted in to the max
imum of it's possibilities or evil it
must make all men poor and miser-
able.
AS long as there is, strong incen-
tive for men to work and to save the
economic power and industrial supre-
macy of this nation will be assured.

QUEER SOURCES OF new WORDS

These verbal novelties we have
made out Of our stock, so to
speak, and at the same time we
have kept on taking over terms
from other tongues, in accord
with our ancient custom, as
result of which the words Of for
eign origin in our everyday
speech-so historian of our
language has asserted-"far out
number those OF old English ORR
gin" And upon these alien vo-
cables we have worked our will
In our own fashion. We have
taken two Latin words, per
centum, cut the second to get
per cent, and then melted them
together with an English termi-
nation to give us percentage. We
have taken risque and made 1T
risky, and we are in the process
of taking brusque and making 1t
bruSll; and this is as it should
be, since a foreign word which
keeps its foreign pronunciation
or it's foreign spelling is always
a menace to the purity Of Eng
lish. The alien words we admit
to citizenship in our language
ought always to renounce their
foreign allegiance. A term from
another tongue is more easily
made to feel itself at home in
our vocabulary when its spelling
does not call attention to it's
original outlandishness. So it
was that cafeteria and automat
as names for special kinds OF
restaurant, slipped into general
use without exciting general no.

BraIder Matthews, in Harper's
Magazine: New words are de-
rived from all sorts Of sources.
To bluff, for example, which be-
gan life as a necessary technical
term in poker, spread into gen.
eral use in the United States,
crossed the western ocean and
established itself in Great Brit
ain, and has now crossed the
English channel and forced it's
admission into French and Italian
and German. Perhaps to pass the
buck. having similar origin,
will in time attain to similar
worldwide acceptance. To spool,
a criticism originating in the
sporting circles of London, bids
fair to be adopted in New York,
although its attractiveness is as
slight as it's utility. Equally un-
necessary is forelady, which is
intended to be a more elegant
appellation for forewoman and
which seems to presage z COM
panion for foregentleman or
would it be foregent? In an
other new word which we owe
also to the busy marts of trade
we can note again the ability Of
our language % supply itself
easily with a term needed for
immediate use. We have long
been familiar with salesman and
saleswoman even, alas! with
saleslady; and the latest MEM
ber of the family to whom we
have been introduced is sales
person, name intended to ap-
ply to an employe of either sex.
