WHOM DO REPUBLICANS
WANT ?
In any discussion of possi
ble Republican nominees for
the presidency at the 1936
election, the name of Senator
William E. Borah inevitably
is the first brought up. In
one of his recent articles,
Mark Sullivan, political com
mentator, asserts that the
man most desired—by the
largest number of persons—
for the Republican nomina
tion, is Borah. He declares
the situation clean-cut. It
must be recognized, he said,
by those whose sentiments
favor others and by those
who have regarded Borah as
not a strict Republican.
The Idaho senator, the ar
ticle said, is desired by east
ern Republicans because he
is the ablest man in America
at defending the constitution,
making clear and simple to
the people why they need it.
Eastern Republicans consider
that the issue next year will
be the constitution.
Western Republican leaders
favor Borah because of his
extreme popularity. There is
little doubt in their minds
that he would carry the west.
One New Deal senator from
the west has said that Borah
against Roosevelt would car
ry every western state.
Much of the South, the ar
ticle continues, also wants
Borah. This does not refer
to southern Republicans but
to southern Democrats who
are profoundly shocked by
what Roosevelt has done to
the party. They want to vote
against him but hesitate over
a Republican of the ordinary
type. There are millions like
them, in the South and else
where,for whom Borah would
be ideal. The same is true of
independent voters every
where.
The broad reason for turn
ing toward the Idaho senator
is the fact that he is a true
liberal. The word has been
stolen by the New' Dealers be
cause it at once appealed to
the public and concealed their
designs. Sullivan regards the
New' Deal “as reactionary as
a proposal to go back to the
time before the Magna Car
ta.”
If Senator Borah is not the
Republican nominee, he at
least is the man that the nom
inee will have to beat at the
convention. — Alaska Daily

ETHIOPIA RIGHT NAME
Many Americans who have
been endeavoring to under
stand Ethiopia and its people
have wondered why the coun
try in the interior of Africa
should have two names, and
which of the two should pre
ferably be used. Now we

have it on good authority
that, should you meet a visi
tor from the land of the Con
quering Lion of the Tribe of
Judah, it is good manners to
call it Ethiopia instead of
Abyssinia.
H. Murry Jacoby, New York
financier, who was a Special
Ambassador of the United
States at the coronation of
Emperor Haile Selassie, ex
plains that “Ethiopia” means
burned by the sun and “Aby
ssinia” as a word connoting a
mixture of races. It is under
standable in the light of his
tory that the portion of the
people who know that there
is a choice in the use of names
should want to be called Eth
iopians. While in view of the
many racial elements in the
population “Abyssinia” as
well describes the country, it
is obviously good form to
speak of it as Ethiopia unless
the time comes when it will,
be necessary to think of it as
Italopia.
There was an Ethiopia which
had its beginnings in the
mists of antiquity. It was the
Aesthiopia of the Greeks and
Romans; the Cuch of the He
brews. Its fame is recalled
in the claims of the later Eth
iopian rulers that they were
the descendants of King Solo
mon. The history of the coun
try is linked with that of Eg
ypt, which was at one time
under Ethiopian domination.
But it does not appear that
the ancient Ethiopia included
the territory of the Ethiopia
of today, or, at least, that it
included more than a small
part of it. Some authorities
are of the opinion that the
Ethiopia of the past roughly
corresponded in position to
