ES IMPRoPIo Ell NoMBRE
DE LATINO AMERICANA

Es va muy fastidioso estar oyendo
cotidianamente este nombre con = que
Sc designa los habitantes do las vein
te republicas americanas dc origen es
pafiol. cuando Sc quiere hacer referen
cia ellos co1ectiva v gensra.mente.
Los latino americanos, nos dicen en-
,os Estados Unidos. Muchos escritores
europeos v no pocos de nuestra Amo
rica han aeeptado e. vocablo.
Y NADIA hay mas caprichoso des
provisto do Fundamental
Aceptar tai denomination, mo So
10 equivale a incurrir er un desati
no, en- un fagrante desconocimiento
de nuestrp abolengo secular, 81 que
tambien una ingratitud de hiios des
naturahzados cue reniegan de Ia madre
comun.
Las veinte repIbica americanas q.
nacieron a la vida de la historic de
la civilization, son hijas de Espaha,
son Ge origen espaiiol; en- ell pecho de
la madre espaiiola Sc amamantaron;
su lengua maternal aprendieron per
petuaron.
La sangre espanola ingerida er.
nuestras venas desde la epoca del des
cubrimiento, no tenfa va seguramente
nj una gotta de sangre latina. La epoca
de la invasion romano en- La Penirsu
la quedaba distante algunos siglos. Sur,
vos, alanos, burgundas, godos otras
tribus Sc encargaron de diluir bien la
gotta latina, posteriormente, en- venas
hispanicas. Mas aun: los arabes durarte
ell largo espacio de ocho siglos en- cru
zamientos frances clandestinos. Y es
| to sin considerar ell elemento judo o
hebraieo, pesar del dogmatismo y
de las prohihiciones rehgiosas.
Esta sangre de los conquistadores
pasada por La alquitara de ta1tas cen
turias, al ingerirse a su vez en- veras
midas, aztecas, incasicas o araucanas,
cuanto no debi6 transmutarse.
Por 10. tanto, despues de los tres 81
CLOS del coloniaje, y despues de un 81
glo de vida libre en- que la sangre de
todos los pueblos de Europa Sc ha me-
clado con la sangre de todos los pueblos
de Europa Sc ha mezclado con la san
gre de America, Use podra decir que EN-
estos pueblos de origen hispano nay
siquiera La sospecha de una sombra de
corpusculo rojo latino, en- La corriente
que regula Ell corazon y alimenta Ia
masa girls de un cerebro criollo.
| iNi ESQ!
Somos, pues, hispano- -americanos y
no latino americanos.
Y esta sangre de Hispania fecunda
es La que debe constituir nuestro ma
yor orgullo, La fuente de nuestra mas
noble altaneria. Digo este ultimo por
que me parece que los que Sc dicen
latino -americanos adoptan cierta acti-
tud despectiva para con La gloriosa ma
DIRE comtn. ALA ellos. Querran apare
Ger como estultos, no siendolo.
Y tempo ha pasado de sobra para
que Sc borraran extinguieran los res
quemores entire sarracenos insurgen
tes.
Concluyamos de una vez con Ell fec
vocablo. Y 81 no somos hijos descasta
dos, 1lam6monos hispano- -americanos, pue
BIOS escritores hispano- o-americano.

Este buque, iuntamente con sus her
manos gemelos ''EspahaD Jaime

EN- 1911.
AL efecto, Sc constituy6 una compa

La primera obra que tuvo que rea-
liar la compania fue la amp.iaci6n y
mejoramiento de los arsenales del Fe-
rrol, que fueron dotadcs de todos los
elementos necesarios para la arquitec-
tura naval moderna.

al de las nnidades de combate construi

cha. Ell acorazado espaiiol so.amente
desplaza 15,46o toneladas, (a mitad,
pr6ximamente, del "Fuso", japon6s),
cuando en- 1912 Inglaterra, Alemania,
los Estados Unidos, Francia, Italia y
el Brasil no construian acorazados de
menos de 10000 toneladas.
L.eva en- cubierta cuatro torres: unS
popa, otra proa, otra en- La muralla
de estribor y otra en- la aleta de ba-
Dor, con dos caiiones de doce pulga-
das cada una. Merced esta disposi-
ci6n, el barco puede presentar por cada
banda las ocho grandes bocas de fue
go y seis EN- caza y retirada.
. La bateria secundaria esta .consti-
tuida por veinte canones de cuatro pull
gadas, cinco por banda.
Muy bien protegido, las barbetas y
torres de combate tienen una coraza
de 10 pulgadas de espesor, que es de
9-4 on los costados.
La propulsion, cuatro helices, Sc
efectua por, turbinas que desarrollan
una fuerza de $1,000 caballos, siendo
la velocidad maxima del buque 10 mi

Surprised on 6Sth Birthday.

Tuesday, December 7th, marked
the 6Sth birthday anniversary of l..
l. Iverson, of this city, and num-
Der of his friends called at his resi-
dence, 812 River street, with well
filed baskets, and informed him
that on the 7th day of December,
6S years ago he was born in a dug
out up on the Canoe Creek. But since
then it is wonderful to see the
changes that have taken place in
a mans lifetime, from a semi-wild-
erness to well cultivated fields and
good farm buildings, and cities with
all the Improvements OF the times,
so that the countries of Europe be-
ing centuries old, cannot compare
with it. The evening was spent in
swapping" stories, and eating of
the good things the visitors brought.
The friends presented Mr.. Iverson
with a handsome cane, and other
presents, in remembrance of the
day, and departed at a late hour,
all wishing him many returns of the
day.

Struck by the notice "Iron sinks"
in a hardware shop window, a wag
went inside and said that he was
perfectly aware of the fact that
"iron sank"
Eyes, and time flies, but the smart
shopkeeper retaliated:
"Yes, and time flies, but wine

grass slopes, music stands, Niagra
Falls, moonlight walks and holiday
trips, scandal spreads, standard
weighs, India rubber tires, the or
gan stops, trade returns, and"

College Band Preparing for Trip.

College Band Preparing for Trip.
The Luther college concert band is
planning its fourteenth extensive
tour under the director, Prof. Carlo
A. Sperati, during the coming sum-
mer. M. H. Hanson of New York
City has heard the band play. He is
the foremost impressario of New
York City and had charge of the re-
cent tour of the Vatican choir from
Rome, Italy, when they toured the
east and middle west. Mr.. Hanson
was also impressario for the St.
Olaf choir of Mortified, Mimi, in
their tour to the east last spring.
He plans co-ordinating the tour of
the Luther college concert band with
a great national revival of church
music on the four hundredth ami
wersary of the diet of Worms in
1921.
The band has made trips to the
Pacific coast in 1906 and 1909. In
1914 the band travelled to Norway
10 participate in the celebration of
the one hundredth anniversary of
the Norwegian constitution. On this
tour Professor Sperati presented his
players before the foremost critics
of Chicago, Cleveland, New York
and Boston and was everywhere Civ
en- enthusiastic praise. After their
engagements in Norway, the party
of sixty was given pleasure jaunt
through Denmark, Germany, France,
Belgium and England at the man
agement's expense. In 1915 the band
filled an eight-day contract with the
management of the Panama Pacific
exposition at San Francisco.
The contemplated tour is the first
extensive one since the entry of the
United States into war.

MAY EXEMPT HOMES FRON
TAXES IN IOWA.
Revolutionary Proposal Is Made al
Sioux City.

Sioux City, Ia.-Sioux City men
will offer, at the next session of
the state legislature, a solution of
the housing problem which, it Ms
thought, will attract statewide at
tention.
The proposed bill exempts from
taxation a dwelling house not to ex-
ceeding $4,000 in value for a per-
iod of ten years.
The bill reads that a dwelling
house not exceeding $4,000 in value
shall be exempt, to the owner con-
structing it, from all general prop
erty taxes for period of ten years,
provided that the actual construction
thereof is commenced within eight
cen months and the building cop
pleted and occupied by the owner
within twenty-four months of the
date of taking effect of this act. The
lot, under such an act, would not be
taxed.
The bill is being drafted by E.
j. Stason and August Williges, mem
bers of the Iowa town pla.liii.ig &c.
mission.
A similar act is now in effect in
New York state.
