"A ROSE BY ANY OTHER NAME"

We are Indeed glad the Republican proposes to change base and call its would-be carnival a “homecoming.** The name sounds better to the public who have seen all they care to of the so-called carnival,, and as none of the numerous affairs of that sort that have been pulled off in Rensselier by the graduates from Tom McCoy's school of morality have been called “home-com-ings,** perhaps the people can be fooled into believing that it’s a good ' thing—until they learn that it is the same old show under a less foul smelling name.
