ALEXANDER Merchant Tailor FEVER SHAM, - ONTARIO THE Flesherton Advance \V. H. THURSTON, Editor WHAT'S IN A NAME? A young man came over to this country from England last week whose name a pears to have caused lot of trouble' to the officials. This arose from the fact that the young man did not wish to use his real name while on the trip. He wished to travel incognito. Now, why'.' It was broadcasted far and wide that the Prince of Wales wished to be knpwn by the naTne of Lord Renfrew. This yountf man's great grand- mother ownwl the plebeian family name of Weltin His great grand- father was Prince Albert of Saxe Coburg-Gotha, a German principal- ity His real title is the Duke of Cornwall. The changing of a name at will is a perquisite of royalty. He is at liberty to choose any name he wishes. When the perfume of a name be- comes a little bit tiresome a new one can be created, and it is nobody's business. In this case we would think just as much of the youHg man if he called himself Edward Albert Wettin as we do of him as Lord Renfrew. The latter is too lordly a title for a young man, anyway. There is too much stand-off about it for a democratic young man who wishes to live on a farm and study roots and- pigs. Edward Albert Wettin would be good enough for a rancher or a king at play. But. after all, as Shakespeare remarked, "what's in a name anyway ? A rose by any other name would smell as sweet." And the prairies ^ would ,-mcll just as sweet to him if he came to us without any name and allowed us to dub him "Skipper," "Admiral" or plain Ed. It's the personality that counts and our affection would go out to him just the same no matter what his name. The authorities need not have troubled themselves searching for a title.

If that gay city could have a fair every week, $12 electricity, thosands of visitors with millioTis of money coming into town every day, all the railways in Canada running in special trains three or four times per diem, and a few little things like that, how happy it would be! * * * Thc Olobe last week printed a story from Sudbury regarding a potato plant which bore "well defined green tomatoes on its vines." Had the Globe's flimsy editor submitted that dispatch to its agricultural editor, the latter would, if he knew his businosfi, hav pronounced the tomatoes ordinary potato seed balls, and the article would have bi ^n sup- pressed.
