Recently the Boston Elevated Railway
Company sent 10 some Of tho Massa-

matter adj" with the instruction that
II be set as news matter in news type
with news head mt the top Of

offered to the Springfield Republican,
and that paper says that the article to
be printed was an alleged letter or dis
patch predicting compromise in tho
boston gas controversy that would be
Satisfactory to all parties" "The point

in its news columns, and the newspaper
which distorts or colors the news of the
day for a purpose is false to itself and
false to Its <readers Every newspaper
is under an implied contract with Its
readers to give them the news as truth-
fully and fairly as 1t Is possible to
present 1t. 1t Is very hard frequently
to obtain the facts about situation,
and many inaccuracies necessarily creep
into print, but the newspaper which de-
liberately and designedly falshcs tho
news Of tho day commits an outrageous
and objectionable fraud upon the pub
lie. Every newspaper has the right to
It's opinion, but when it undertakes to
make n statement of fact, it must con-
fine itself to tho facts, s,ipprcssing moth
ing, extenuatng nothing, nor adding
anything that will tend to make the
statement misleading. If corrupt men
or selfish men may purchase the news
columns of paper and use them for
their purposes, they may well snap their
fingers mt the men who wrlto the cdi-
torlals.
1t were far better, so far as the public
welfare Is concerned, to have the opin-l
ions of the press debauched than its
news columns, and may a kind Provi-
dcnce save the country from such de-
bauchery. rs

Congressional Directory, issued January
1905, 1t will find that there is such q
designation as the Department or war
So much for tho fact. Our contenlpor.

| Army and navy" 1t says. "are alike

| Department indicates not bit more
| Of 'enmity with the rest OF the world
| than Army Department or Military
Department would or than Navy De-
psirtment' does. And our Icighbor should
remember that there are fcw less profit
able occupations than arguing about tho
accuracy and propriety Of names. Any
thing is we'll named when It's name IS
understood by all, and any name TINT
all understand Is good unless 1t Is Of
fensive. Most things have to BIO named
before they nre thoroughly comprehend
ed and all their uses and relations nscer-
tanned. and 1t Is rarely worth whllc TO
abandon an old name simply because q
now one would seem theoretically better,
We cannot concur In tho Wow of our
New York neghbor that 1t matters not
about the accuracy or appropriateness
of a designation, provided only the pub
lie understands what It means. 1t Is a
fault with the American people that
they are disposed to be sltpshod IN their
mode of expression and tho government
should set n good example IN oil things.
What could be moro absurd for exam
pie, than the designation ''lunatio asy-
lum." sthough the ipstitution itself
were insane, or female college, as
though tho college itself had n gendbr.
There have been some reforms III this
direction. and these two absurd desig-
nations which were in common use only
n few years ago have now been almost
abolished. Indeed, IN Virginia, so far
from calling our institutions for the care
Of the insane "lunatic asylums;' we have
abolished tho word "nsylum" altogether
and call them Hospitals" Our con-
temporary seems to think that 1t makes
no difference whether we say ''lunatic
asylum or "asylum for the insane" or
hospital" but medical experts think
otherwise. There is n dsagreeable sug-
gcstlveness In tho name asylum for the
insane" and It is apt to have depress-
ing effect upon the unfortunates who arc
committed to the care of such institu-
tons. There is much the same sugEes-
tivcness in the designation Department
of War" or WAR Department." and in
spite of the argument Of our coirtem-
porary, wo are still of opinion that 1t
would be better to change the term and
call 1T the Military Department" or the
.'Army Department" or some other des-
ignation with the word "war" left out.
And while on the subject-would 1t
not be an act of mercy for the manage
mcnt to change the name Of that noble
institution of Richmond, the Home FOR
Incurables?''

date for Governor OF Virginia, and Sena.
tor Thomas s. Martin, candidate for
tho United States Senate. addressed the
people OF Botetourt OF noon to-day. II
being the first day OF Botetourt Circuit
Court. The courtroom was well filled
with an intelligent audience, anxious &c
hear the speakers. appearing for the
first time before this people. Both OF
the candidates. who are known in peir
official capacity, were given oyations as
! they appeared on the stand.
Senator Martin, the first speaker, was
introduced by Mr.. G. NJ. Lunsford. He
commenced his speech by referring TO the
criticism OF his honorable competitor
and defended himself against the attacks
laid upon his public record. He adj
mitted that Virginia had only received
$3.50 cash In the settlement affected with
d the general government, but had re.
ceived In payment Of the amount due
the State 81 230O0 in Virginia State bonds,
which was the Same as cash.
Plead Guilty.
To most OF the other charges he put
in tho plea Of guilty, that OF being a
letter writer and department runner
and some others, for all OF which he
claimed to be in discharge Of his duty.
On the question Of roads and educa-
tIon, his position was In harmony with
that Of Mr.. Willard. He discussed brief
ly the railroad rate question and gave
his audience to understand that as a
faithful servant and department runner,
there was still other appropriations ne
hoped to get for the State.
Mr.. Martins speech evidently made a
good impression, and 1t was plain that
he had in the audience many warm
friends and supporters.
Mr.. Willard was introduced by Mr.. +.
It. Glasgow in a brief but eloquent
speech. The Lieutcnant-G Governor claim
ed not to DO anything Of an orator, but
a plain man, whose chief ambition was
to serve his people and State. in
way to benefit them and bring them the
largest amount OF good.
In forcible way no presented the
platform Of the principles upon which
he stood, and for which he would cater.
IL the voters of Virginia should elect . m
as their Governor.
A Popular Theme.
On tho question OF education and
roads helwas remarkably clear, and from
the applause with which his utterances
were greeted, there was not one In the
largo audience. which listened so atten-
lively. ito his well-rounded sentences
whose mind and thoughts were not In
unison with his own.
Mr.. Wizards speech was most at
tentively listened to and will bring to
him larger number OF friends who
will support him In the coming cleo
tion. Tho general impression has been
that the contest here will be between
willard and Swanson, with the former
in the lead. but Mr.. Wizards frank and
iunambguous manner OF expression when
before the people mako him friends wher-.
ever he goes.
