NEW YORK CITY, April 14--Let

Take a few samples of the loud la

papers and compare them with those
written at various periods in the past
(plenty are to be found in the arch
ives of our libraries) and you will at
once be struck by their uncanny sim
ilarity. Listen to this:
'The girl of the period is crea-
ture who dies her hair and paints her
face as the first articles of her per-
Sonal religion; whose sole idea of life
Is plenty of fun and luxury; and
whose dress is the object of such
thought and intellect as she possess
es; the girl of the period has done
away with such moral muffishness
as consideration for others. or re-
sible fashion lifts gown out of the
mud, she raises hers midway to her
knee; she talks slang as glibly as

conversation to doubtful subjects"
If it were not for the one word
midway one would scarcely guess
that this vitriolic criticism was
penned by Mrs. e. Lynn Linton, once
popular English novelist. as early as
1868. We are so accustomed to hav-
ing the late war blamed for all kind

style about it You have naturally
copied many characteristics from the
newspapers of large cities. but you
have overlooked one thing, the name
Of your journal. So far as l know,
The Gazette here and The Star in
Tucson are the only other papers in
the United States that use the name
OF the state as part of the name OF
the newspaper.
Consider the oddity Of such names;
California Times, Illinois Tribune,
Ohio Plain Dealer. and Kentucky
Courier journal.
I respectfully suggest that you
change the name of your paper TO
The Phoenix Republican. 1t Is my
opinion that such a change would NOT
affect your patronage in our suburbs.
Why should it2
The Frank Crane editorials is
good feature of your paper, so good
to my mind that think they should
always be published in large type as
was your custom several weeks back.
Your own editorials are very good.
You are remarkably we'll posted, and
use fine English.
In the Phoenix newspapers, natives
Of this state are sometimes called
Arizonans and at other times Ari-
zonians. How about having a little
meeting and deciding it one way or
the other?
Is the following worth considera-
ton? Many of the streets of Phoenix
were named after presidents but sew
eral OF our highest executives were
sighted Wouldn't it be fitting to
now add the names Of Tyler, john
son. Hayes, Arthur and Cleveland?
and also of course Wilson and Hard
ing? wouldn't Phoenix feel sorry
for the oversight should the daughter
of Grover Cleveland visit us and
learn that we have no Cleveland
street?
Having described a gale and It's
difference from strong wind. please
say now why 1t is that Phoenix gets
no snow in spite OF low temperature.
Answer not in weather bureau
phraseology. but in terms that even
can understand.
That's all for now. thank you.

"MORvIcH; OR FROM souP6oNE
TO SUPER HORSE"


Norwich, a horse that Claus Spreck-
els, the California sugar king. had
thought had a bright future ahead OF
it hauling a bakers wagon, is the ia
vorite for the Kentucky derby and
Preakness.
Every boy who has been told by
his loving parents and friends that
he will never amount to anything
should take a lot Of comfort from the
life OF Norwich.
To begin with. when the horse was
born his owner thought SO little OF
him that he named him after a suit
presser and then sold him for q few
hundred dollars.
His only stipulation was that the
buyer promise not TO bring him back.
o.
II was his estimate that Marvich.
carefully boiled and ground, would
make a fairly decent quota or frank :
furterx: in fact. he almost gave the
buyer a case OF rolls and a keg OF
mustard in the bargain
Proving that Mr.. Spreckels is a
great judge Of sugar:
Norwich Is by Runnymede out OF
Hyrnir. Mr.. Spreckels is evidently by
Carbonate-Out of Luck.
The buyer of Morvich had him
shipped east by slow freight with all
the consideration shown beef on the
hoof, nom -perishable vegetables and
Portland cement.
Norwich Travelled strictly steerage,
and was snubbed by all passing live
stock. No loving friends met him at
the station. Just before he arrived
two hoboes showed him the height OF
contempt by eating his hay.
When taken off the train he looked
like the property horse that used to
get all the laughs In the Byrnes
Brothers Eight Bells" show. II was
hard to tell where his neck ended ana
his body began.
When he was led on to the track
for the opening race at Jamaica, L. L.

upholstery expert followed on to act

Braley Dolly Poem
The TRAFFIC COP

"STOP-GO; GO-STOP!"
Such is the life of traffic cop;
Saving the autos from being wrecks,
Keeping the drivers from breaking their necks
Helping old ladies from losing their way
Leading them gently across,
Holding a thoroughfare under his sway
Big chief and despot and boss
"GO-STOP; STOP-GO!"
Here is the master Of high and Of low.
"STOP-GO; Go-STOP!"
Never get fresh there's something will drop
Something will drop-it'll likely be you
If you don't heed what he tells you to do;
So when the traffic cop gives you call,
Brother don't answer him back,
Hark to him meekly-say nothing at all
Fines cost a whole lot Of Jack!
"GO-STOP; STOP-GOi'
The cops got the bulge you always, you know
"STOP-GO; GO-STOP!"
I gratefully bow to the traffic cop;
Without him the street is a tumble and maze,
With traffic entangled in thousands Of ways;
He watches the children who from the schools,
He's guide Of the blind and the lame,
The aid of the wise man. the savior of fools
The traffic cops worthy Of fame!
"GO-STOP; STOP-Go!"
And here's bouquet that I'm willing to throw.
