Indian Names.

Washingtonians dwell in a region of
beautiful names. This is strillingly so
as to the names of our rivers and
creeks. These are Indian names. and
though often the printed words appear
hard and grotesque to the eye they
sound as music or as poetry when
properly pronounced. There are the
river names Potomac. Anacost.;;.
Shenandoah. AIonocacy. Wicomico,
Patuxent and the Rappahannock. and
let US not overlook the great bay
Chesapeake. into which the waters of
those rivers fiow. Near Washington
are the creeks Seneca, Piscataway.
Occoquan. Morumsco. Neabsco, Malta
woman. Nanjemoy. Chicomuxen. Nom.
mi. Machodoc. Chappawamsic. Chapti.
CO and many others.
One might express regret that our
ancestors did not preserve the names
by which the Indians called those
creeks which we know as Rock creek
Sligo branch. Northwest branch, Paint
branch, Oxon run, Beaverdan,. Cabin
John, Piney branch. Hunting creek.
Four-mile run. Broad creek and Diff
cult run.

that it be placed somewhat to the

the first plan contemplated. and this
decision has been reached in a way to
insure Harmonious and enthusiastic

Lot Flannery.

II is pity that Lot FIannery. the
sculptor of the statue of Lincoln just
replaced in It's original site in front of
the courthouse. could not have lived to
see the rededication of that memorial.
which is planned to take place a few
months hence. Mr.. Flannery was a
very old man. perhaps-though no
exact knowledge is had Of his precise
ase-well past the point Of ninety
years. 1t was hoped that he might at
tend the ceremonies incident to the.
formal Replacement Of his statue.
That. however. is not to be, for he
passed away this morning in this city.
The statue OF Lincoln, which has
been the cause of so much controversy
and that has now been BY Congress
restored to its place, has been the sub
ject of some criticism as a work of
art. but it is accepted by those who
knew Lincoln as a faithful portrait.
Mr.. Flannery knew the President. and
modelled his face and figure from an
immediate and intimate knowledge Of
the man. He did not ideal!Ze his sub
iect, but presented him as he was in
his rugged character. his implicit
honesty. his deep sense Of resp1nsi-
bility and his infinite spirit Of mercy.
The Flannery Lincoln was the first
memorial to the Inartyred President
erected in this country. Projected as a
<Nf ry,-fa NJ r.S g
lection, ii became. through the lack of
cooperation on the part Of other COM
munities. the enterprise Of Washing

capital Of ihat day. small. and i'm
poverished by the war, that it SO
promptly provided the means for this
memorial. 1t WIS appropriate. too.
that it should be the work of a Wash
.ngtonian, and though not noted as a
sculptor Lot F1annery was known as
a sincere artist. and the Lincoln he
produced was recognized at the time
as a faithful likeness and worthy
representation.
Taken from its place by an act Of
Congress adopted in misunderstand-
ing, and now replaced by act Of Con-
gress in correction Of that error, the
Flannery Lincoln will soon be formal
iy rededicated in its original place and
with the most suitable setting possible.
When that ceremony takes place
proper tribute will doubtless be paid to
the creator. the venerable sculptor
who died today.

The Christmas Recess.

The proposition for only a three
day adjournment of Congress for the
holidays has merit and should be
adopted The special session enabled
the legislators to make a good start,
and they have been keeping up their
lick well. They have but to continue
as they have begun 10 clear the tables
in good season and effect creditable
getaway.
The Christmas season has for long
time taken too big bite out OF the
short session. 1t has almost reduced
the time by enethird. For while the
adjournment ordered has never been
for longer than a fortnight. another
fortnight has often been necessary to
set the wheels Of business turning at
iuIl speed again Members came back
slowly. and recovered slowly from the
home festivities. The middle of Janu-
airy has often arrived before business
was in good progress.
This has more than once led to an
agitation for the abolition of the
Christmas recess at the short session.
Why stop work so soon after begin
ming, and enter upon q vacation Of at
least a month. when the time allow
ance for the session was only three
months?
Men Of prominence and experience
have subscribed to this view. The late
Champ Clark was one. He exerted
himself in an effort to bring about a
change, but found custom and the
Christmas turkey served at home too
much for him.
This time. however, the call for
work is unusually urgent. and should

Takes Issue Over Defense of Turks Behavior.

| The American eyewitnesses in
Smyrna saw the Turkish soldiers and
the mob setting fire to the Christian
quarter and carrying kerosene oil
to make a thorough work out of il.
Even the Turks couldn't deny the
the case by saying that the Greeks
and Armenians burned their own
towns.
Assalls Miss Christie.
Because few Of the reports bearing
upon the Smyrna tragedy proved to
be untrue, such as the execution of
the Armenian archbishop and the in
mates OF the American school, does
not Justify Miss Christie to say II
was brought up on the stories of
Turkish atrocities. but l re-
allied there are two sides of the
story" and convey the impression that
the Turks are no worse than the
Greeks and Armenians
During three years of Greek occupa-
tion of Smyrna, the population en-
joyed security. peace and considerable
prosperity We didn't hear of hum
dreds of thousands of Turks being
did not hear of Turkish girls and
women being taken by the Greek SOL
diers. Turks driven into the sea or
gone insane over the Greek horrors.
We do not concede that Greeks and
Armenians are superhuman; that the
passion Of vengeance and retaliation
has no place in their veins. Outside
this we DO not lose our sense of pro-
portion, especially when we consider
that Greek occupation Of Smyrna
. .chronologically comes after the ter
rible horrors OF 1915-1916. when the
entire Christian population OF Turkey
was being subjected to the worst kind
of persecution. horrors and plunder.
Lost Sense Of Proportion.
If Miss Jean Christie had read the
reports of the Armenian massacres
as compiled by James Bryce, DR.. Lep-
/ sius and others and had not lost her
sense Of proportion, she would never
| allow herself to cast reflection
upon the Greeks and Armenfahs.

the Turks is not true, and also Tou-
| rain, the Armenian archbishop. was

of the school girls was due 20 the
