That Terijoki Love Feast.

Some way we can't believe that those unde-
sirables delivered Monday into the hands of
their bolshevst Comrades at Terijoki were
as profoundly tickled as they pretended to be.
Neither is it likely that they were as welcome
as the chairman Of the reception committee
claimed they were. Both sides had to make
the best of the situation, Of course but one
can't imagine the newcomers really warming
up to the prospects Of an abundance of work,
or the present leaders Of the soviet regime
being crazy over the outlook for increased
competition in saying how things in Russia
shall be run.
Honest work never has appealed to Berk-
man and Goldman and others of their sort. II
! it had there would have been no occasion for
dcporting them. They are not likely TO change
the habits of lifetime now-not willingly, at
any rate.
The whole shipload was composed Of poten-
tial masters in destructive craftsmanship.
When Trotzky was capering around New York
he was just one of the bunch. Probably at
least score of the passengers on the Buford
! were of, equal or perhaps larger caliber, than
he. Turned loose in Russia these individuals,
| each differing from the others by few shades
of political coloring, are certain to begin rust
ling around to pick up following. Messrs.
Lenine and Trotzky no doubt fully realize the
possibilities for additional troubles to them
selves that the situation holds.
| The manner in which the next shipload We
send is received in Russia will give a fair indi:
cation Of the amount of trouble the first one
| caused. ~

It is not likely that complete official returns

Even if we knock off few billions the fact
remains that improved stock of a stupendous

All of which goes to show what a perfect

Failure Investigating" Success.

From the manner in which the majority in
the presen. congress has spent most of its time
one might Judge that the war had been con-
Quoted as a Democratic party affair, and that
the Republicans had had nothing to do with it.
At no time since the Republican majority
was seated has there been let-up in the at
tempts to discredit the government, from the
head down to the various departments. They
went from Daniels to Baker and Burleson and
back to Daniels, and all the while there has
been steady and deliberately organized CAM
paign to belittle the methods and impugn the
motives Of the president
Just now they are putting in their best ticks
10 undermine the popularity of the head of the

test and who has been characterized by lead

as one of the most efficient men ever appointed
to the office he now holds.

1t also formed the origin for the
term La RENE Blanche for the
dowager queen of France, a term
also associated with the custom Of
wearing wreath of white flowers,
inaugurated by Blanche Of Cas-
tile. The daughter Of Edward |
was called Blanche in honor of his
friendship with her son. Thus the
name was firmly established among
French and British nobility, as well
as in Italy and Spain. France had
only the one form Blanche. Eng
land preferred the name without
the final ''e." Italy derived the
musical Blanca, but Spain preserv-
ed the original Blanca, borne by
Blanca of Navarro. Portugal slip
ped an "r" in place Of the a" and
spells it Branca.
Blanche's talismanic stone is the
emerald, which insures her protec-
ton from evil and promises her
great success. If this gem is also
her birthstone, she has the augury
Of happy marriage. The haw-
thornem signifying hope is her
flower. Wednesday is her lucky
| day and her lucky number.

Blanche.

Blanche.
There is a large class of femin-
inc names which originated from
the complexion. OF these, one Of
the most popular is Blanche, mean
ing fair, or white. Its origin, in
turn, is from bleo, the term by
which the absence of color is de-
noted by all tongues in western
Europe. The French word for
white is blanche. but the term was
not employed as feminine name
in early times except in poetry.
Blach, Balnous and Blanchard
appear in Domesday and indicate
the successive steps toward the &C
ceptance Of Blanche as feminine
name, but there is no record of her
use as such in that worthy histor-
ical record. Blanchefleuer (white
fower) was the name Of the moth
er of Sir Tristan. The first his
tOrical Blanche was Blanca of Ma
varre, the queen of Sancho w of
Castillo. Her granddaughter. the
child of Eleanor Plantagenet, whom
King John used as lure by which
to detach Philippe Auguste from
the support of Arthur of Brittany,
was Blanche of Castillo, and her
popularity passed the name on

skirts for the first time. Beneath
