street and whose father is Baron
Fermoy in tho British peerage. ever
win preface their names with the hon
ornry title OF "the Hon." or that the
sterling Americanism OF Mr.. Edmund
Maurice Burke Roche ever will permit
him, in tho event of the death OF his
father, to prove his claim to the title.
Nevertheless in the next issue OF
~Burke's Peerage' these two American
citizens will be found listed as "the
Hon. Edmund Maurice Burke Roche"
and "the Hon. Francis George Burke
Roche" and following the namo OF
"the Hon. Edmund Maurice" will be
added the paragraph "heir pres. to
barony." The inexorable laws OF the
British peerage are such that II fate
makes one British peer or son Of a
peer citizenship In an alien land can
not change his status as such.
Therefore, so far as the peerage, bar
onetRge, knlEhtage and companionGge Of
the British realm are concerned, the
Messrs. Roche are "Honorables," and the
older OF the twin brothers must even
tually become the fourth Baron Fermoy
whether no likes II or not.
The Messrs. Roche, two Of the most
popular young men In the social and
business life OF New York, are thus
brought into prominence by the death of
their uncle, the second Baron Fermoy,

and the succession OF their father, the
Hon. James Boothby Burke Roche, TO

There are few similar instances OF

and fewer still OF such Americans re-
nouncing citizenship to claim seats in

claims TO their titles The holders OF a
score or more OF British titles are half
American A few are two-thirds Amer

House OF Lords who is all American.
He is Baron Fairfax OF Cameron. For

Want Sport Revival
The law will be sought primarily
to revive a sport considered the
greatest OF them all in many coun-
tries, and in several sections of the
United States. 1t will also be asked
for as a means Of reducing taxes
in man ycities. .

Eliminate Bad Elements.
This same Peorian is one Of the
fellows who will help draw up the
new racing measure if it is decided

when attempts have been made to
legalize the sport, certain bad ele-
merits entered into the proposition,
which always killed any efforts
made in the right direction.
Big business men have been in

serts, and the harness race men OF
the state ss we'll as those leaning to
the runners will back the measure.
In other years the harness promot-
ers have always fought the pro-

would take away interest from their
game, and add to the prestige OF
the runners
Fight for Bill.
"A strong organization has al
ready been formed to fight for the

says. And we will be ready soon
after the first Of the year to carry

of course, seek the support of Chi
