Piccadilly.
A theory as to the origin of Picca
tfiilly was put forward by Archdeacon
Jliekersteth many years ago. He had
nl£*eoyered a Piccadilly among the
<3iiiltenis, the central one of three con¬
ical hills near Ivinghoo. and lie fenrn
oed that this hill had at one time lieen
.known also as Peaked hill. Might nor
Ijmdon's Piccadilly likewise be a
leaked ldlj? No doubt the hill In Pic
adiiiy is not remarkably peaky, but.
scfcrto, the same thing might be said of
the Derbyshire peak itself. There Is
another Piccadilly near Aberystwyth,
and yet another near Bolton. But In
the provinces one always suspects bor
sowing from London in such cases
\tfterse are Ilyde Park Corners In pro
vi»clai towns that have no Hyde park
zSa justify them.- London Chronicle.

LETTER FROM
Tupnun 1 HE PHILIPPINES Tnnnmn
Prof. J. J. Griffin Writes Inter¬
estingly From Uncle Sam’s
Faraway Pacific Ocean
Possessions.
Nagcurlun Laguna, P. I
Augu«t 16, 1907.
Editor Ente: prise ; It has boeu
some time since I have written you
a letter from our faraway posses¬
sions commonly known as the
“exile land,” the Philippines; so,
tf you will bear with me and and
be kind enough to give space in
your coiUtnns, it will be very much
appreciated, us tlilough the medi
urn of my home paper I cati com
municate with friends in the home
land who seem nearer and dearer
to me than when I had the pleas
ute to dwell among them and be
classed as one of the “Georgia
crackers,a name I am proud of.
In my former letters I have
uwelt almost entirely concerning
local affairs and on such subjects
as I deemed advisable to discuss,
I will try this time to dwell on
subjects you are interested in as
well us the ones that concern our
own welfare.
We recently had an election for
the Philippine assembly and as the
candidates are elected and will
have their hist session early m
Gct- ber. we must await results and
not be pessimistical and allow the
body to demonstrate lo the world
what they are capable of aeeom
/dishing before making any pre
dictions.
A few weeks since it looked as
if we were going to have trouble I
with Japan, but it has I
only been fori
postponed. \Ye must prepare
a contiuuatbn of peace, and in or¬
der to do Si; we, from a national
point of view, must greatly in¬
crease our navy to insure it, there¬
by insuring a continuation of same.

1 Jove your country as you do your
own household.
The Hague Conference is only
theoretical; we must have some¬
thing more practical. The sooner
wo learn that Oriental people as a
class, are more or less hypocritical,
the better it wiil be to us as a na
tion.
If we increase our navy it will
not effect our tax rate to any great
extent, if at all, and prevent a war
in a few years, you would have as
much money in the bank Christ¬
mas as you have had before. The
Japanese are the greatest tax-rid¬
den people on the face of the earth
today, l’he individuals own noth¬
ing as a rule. Every foot of ground,
every railroad and almost all the
business of Japan .is virtually
owned by the government. The
government does not encourage the
people to be commercial in a true
sense. I believe the government
should have supervision over rail¬
roads but not own them.
As the election for President oc
curs next year, get a man who
will continue in the same path Mr
Roosevelt has outlined and we
will continue to do our duty as
good citizens of the great United
States. Some wiil sav Mr. Roose¬
velt has made mistakes. I fail to
find a grievous one for it is human
to err, but a part of good citizen¬
ship to forgive, I am a democrat
and expect to continue to vote the
democratic ticket when I return to
the home land.
