'THE MAGIC OF A NAME
"What's in a name?" may have
been of little moment to Juliet, but
to the Oklahomans it is all-important
when that name happens to be
Will Rogers, their "most useful citi
zen" (vide the legislative record) as
well as court jester in three contin
ents. The question has been posed
afresh by the fact that another Will
Rogers, a rural school-teacher, has
rolled up a huge vote in an election
in the Sooner State, on the Btrength,
so his capable feminine opponent in
timates, of a' last-minute rechristen
ing from William C. Rogers.
Such name affection as exists in
the United States gives rise to one of
those pleasant little tit-for-tat jokes
that smooth away the corners of
transatlantic strangeness. The Am
erican chuckles whenever he reads in
the English newspapers the quali
fications of an Englishman about to
be given a remove to a higher
berth in his profession. The point
that is bound to be singled out,
whether the appointee be a bishop,
a judge or a collector of internal rev-
enue, is that he rowed (for his 'Var
sity), climbed a mountain (for his
own pleasure), obtained the Windy-
gate prize for poetry, or did some
thine eauallv irrelevant. But the
Englishman can make his riposte,
accompanied by a similar chortle, any
time he glances over the wedding an
nouncements in the American news
papers. If they are relatively name
less, both parties will stretch their
family trees in quest of a real name
until they touch collateral branches
even unto the fourth and fifth gen
erations.
Now in the monarchies names are
of such little significance that the
first thing a man is asked to do when
he meets the ultimate in national
approbation is to shed it and don a
new one. And he is generally very
happy to oblige. Watch a Smith in
Drocess of translation. One of the
most distinguished of that family in
England woke up one day as Lord
Birkenhead and apparently did not
fppl anv different. But think 01
"Al" Smith of the United States go
ing to Ireland to find a mellifluously
sounding village by which he should
henceforth be called! It'B all in the
name in the" 13. S. A.
Hence the agitation which the
Oklahoma incident has again pro
voked that good old possessors of
good old American names might be
allowed to copyright .thgm. They are
held to be as valuable pieces of prop
erty as trade marks. Originally the
movement must have etarted when
one Kabotsky years ago tried, in
Boston, to change his name to Cabot,
and succeeded. The indignation
spread much farther than the limits
of the land of the cod. It rippled
over the gabled roofs of colonial
mansions from Salem to Charleston
and even found an echo, out West.
But so far Will Rogers has ap
parently not taken any action over
the controversy in Oklahoma save to
add another quip to his voluminous
quiver. Only the unfortunate de
feated candidate saying with Ju
liet, " Tis but thy name that is my
enemy" has been aroused.

AN END TO BLEASEISM?
What voters of South Carolina
have saved themselves from in their
refusal to send Cole Blease to the
senate may not be entirely clear to
people in the rest of the country. But
many of those in the state directly
effected could explain it in a single
word. It is "Bleaseism." Bleaseism
means just about as much demagog
ism as could well be bound up and
carted about by any one man in
search of public office. It has afflict
ed the state, off and on, for the
greater part of a generation, becom
ing most pronounced as its sponsor
assumed the governorship, more
than twenty years ago, and continu
ing, after a period of intermission,
as he served one term in the United
States senate. Repudiated two years
ago, and now again this year as the
people vote decisively to return Sen
ator E. D. Smith to the post in
Washington, it would seem that
Bleaseism is done for in the state.
It has never got very far outside
of it.) Yet there can be no certainty
in the matter, as it is recalled that
at every election in more than forty
years Blease either has ben a candi
date or an officeholdr. Yet there can
be hope; and this time it has a fair
ly solid basis.

An editor says holiday accidents

a pretty efficient beast of burden;

NO LONGER THE ORACLE
According to those who want to
give us four. more j-ears of the kind
of national administration we have
had since Harding went into office
11 years ago, nobody must question
anything Mr. Hoover now says. The
results of the policy of those 11 years
are fanners in bankruptcy, trade
channels choked, heartbreaking un
employment, and millions of the
people's savings wiped out by a
gigantic stock market swindle which
was furthered by the policies of
those national administrations. Mr.
Hoover's administration has been a
groping around in indecision, accom
panied by reassuring prophecies to
the American people which didn't
pan out.
The thing that got under the hide
of the Hoover boosters was the Jour
nal's refusal to throw its hat into
the air and hurrah when Mr. Hoo
ver prophesied the other day that
he was "convinced that we have
overcome the major financial crisis.'
'The Journal expressed the hope that
Mr. Hoover was right this time, even
though he had missed his guess with
similar prophecies so many times in
the past. It would be easy, the Jour
nal said, to go back and list the
many times, but it refrained from
doing so. However, since the ques
tion has been raised, we list below
some of the prophecies made by Mr.
Hoover, beginning with the stock
market crash on October 24, 1929.
Among them are these:
October 25, 1929". The funda
mental business of the country is
on a sound and prosperous basis."
November 21, 1929. "There is no
reason why business should not be
carried on as usual."
December 3, 1529. "The sudden
threat of unemployment . . . created
unwarranted pessimism and fear. We
have re-established confidence. A
very large degree of industrial un
employment has been prevented."
January 21. 1930. "The tide of
employment has changed in the right
direction."
March 7, 1930. "All the evidences
indicate that the worst effects of the
crash upon employment will have
been passed during the next 60 days."
May 1, 1930. "We have now pass
ed the worst."
October 2, 1930. "The depression
is but a temporary halt in the pros
perity of a great people. The income
of a large part of our people has not
been reduced."
December 2, 1930. "We hav al
ready weathered the worst cf the
storm."
It's time in this country that we
throw away the crying towel and
look facts in the face. To millions
Mr. Hoover no longer is the'oracle
and miracle man he was pictured
for campaign purposes in 1928. Yet
"what is needed now is a restora
tion of faith and confidence," say
the hidebound party organs. Con
fidence in whom? Mr. Hoover?
Mr. Hoover, sincere as he may be,
forfeited a good many people's con
fidence when he gave in to Mr
Grundy's threat on the floor of the
senate. When Mr. Hoover showed
Eigns of hesitating over Mr. Grun
dy's demand that the barriers
against trade be raised higher, the
spokesman for the tariff beneficiaries
declared that his crowd had contri
buted heavily to Mr. Hoover's cam
paign and expected something in re
turn. And the Grundys got it.
Who wants to continue that Eys-
Uem? Who wants to go back to the
paper fortunes or tne bubble market,
after the last three years of suffer
ing? Who wants to go through the
same old cycle again, up and down,
with months upon months of human

misery? Yet there is no sign at
Washington that this isn't what
those who advise Mr. Hoover want
to get started again. There appar
ently is no recognition at Washing
ton that although we pour public
moneys out like rain water, the vital
need for any better condition that
will be permanent is a change in the
discredited "lift-yourself by - your-
own-bootstraps" policy that began
with Harding and continued until
the smashup. "Faith and confidence"
will be restored when there is a
change at Washington. Milwaukee

CAN HELP MOST OF
KEEPING HANDS OFF
There were and are thousands of
grass fed steers on the western
ranges. There was and is a huge
amount of corn on Illinois farms in
tended to be used in fattening
range cattle for the market. The
railroads have facilities more than
ample for moving the western cat
tle to the feeding lots of the corn
belt, but until recently the normal
flow of feeders to the cast has been
interrupted for lack of credit.
A number of stock yards officials,
sensing the Fituation, provided some
of the needed credit. Every one in
volved in these transactions is bene
fited. The ranchers will get a bet
ter price for their animals. The corn
belt farmers will get a better price
for their corn. The railroads will
increase their revenue and the pack
ers will get the kind of beef animal
that their market demands. In short,
business Judgment operating on a
business problem has proved of wide
spread value. Once more the eco
nomic axiom that a transaction gen
erally ben fits bothe buyer and seller
has been proved correct and once
more the economic fallacy that in a
trade one party i3 always the loser
has been refuted.
But now that business judgment
has shown the way, a cry is being
raised to have the government take
the movement in hand. It seems in
credible, but it happens to be true.
A government which has done all it
can through the farm board to bring
ruin to agriculture can be expected
to ruin ranchers and corn growers
alike if it ever gets its hands on this
project. A government which has
been in the business cf lending
money to stock raisers for years and
lacked the wit to meet this obvious
need is -going to fail again, with dis
astrous results for farmers and tax
payers alike, if its accomplished blun
derers are placed in command. If,
with all its pay rollers, statisticians.
stock yards regulators, and phony
co-operatives of cattle men, it never
did the farmers anything but injury
what possible reason can there be to
suppose that it now will do anything
but injury?
Private enterprise has seen a need
and met it. The government will
perform its maxmium service to all
concerned and particularly to the
farmers if it keeps its clumsy hands
out of tho business. Chicago Tri
