Recently a proposition was made to
change the name of the United Sons
of Confederate Veterans to the Sons
of the Confederacy but it has met with
Immediate and hearty condemnation in
tho South Bishop Thomas F. Gaylor,
of Tennessee, protests strongly, and
says: 1.-The purpose Of the organiza-
ton of the Sons of Confederate Veter-
ans was not at the beginning, and is
not row, to vindicate and perpetuate
the Confederacy, not even to rehearse
the political arguments to prove the
Justice of the Confederate cause. It's
true purpose was, and is, and ever
shall be, to declare and defend the
fine heroism, the noble patriotism and
the irnperishable glory of the Confed-
crate soldiers" 1.-THE Memphis Com
mercial-Appeal" declares that 1.-The
Confederacy persisted in 1865, and
many of the Sons of Veterans have
been born since that time. There is
nothing the matter with the existing
name, and we can see no reason why
It should be changed"

Improvina Railroad Business.

There are about 800 steam railroads
operating 100000 miles of road. and I'M
der the provisions of the national law
they are required to give monthly re-
ports Of their business to the Interstate
Commerce Commission at Washington
These reports deal in pretty large fig
ures-too large for most of us to grasp
the real significance of-but they are a
valuable index TO the business condi-
| tons of the country and are especially
valuable for purposes of comparison
with earlier years. The figures for the
month of January are now made
public and they bear out the general
impression that business conditions are
steadily improving over those of a
year ago.
The summary Of these reports for
the month of January, 1909, and the
corresponding month of 1903, shows
gross earnings of sl4s,197,S 2S, against
$13S, 276, 1St, distributed as follows:
Freight earnings, SOL, 43o, s63; against
$94, 1929; passenger revenue, $50, ~
4sl. against $31 .945992; other transpor-
tation revenue, sl0.5S5,72S, against &c.,
332, 136; nontransportation revenue, ST.
1896, against $l,555, 935 This repre-
sents gross earnings of ss72.S6 per mile
of line, against sS414O January a year
ago. The total operating expenses for
the month amounted to $105, 701, 597,
against s105 2SS,9l9, distributed as fol-
lows: Maintenance of way and struc-
lures, Sl6,372,67e, against s15.703, 1872;
maintenance of equipment, s25,17S,651,
against 4,151, 1856; traffic expenses, 49,
1918, against s3,11S990; transporta-
ton expenses, $50. S51 .321, against S5S,-
1,lS5; general expenses, $4,113,230,
against So, 9S35Ie.
From the above figures it viii be
seen that the cost per mile of line for
operation is $63l11, against S64o.67 for
January, 1903. The total net earnings
for the month are 1892, 231, against
s32 J67.267, or S24l.15 per mile of line,
against s2O013 for the corresponding
month last year. The gross revenue
for The month from outside operations
of the roads is given at 1885, $50,
against $2,131.519; while the total ex-
penses for such operations is So. Jos. 1856,
against $1511,2>5, showing loss from
this source of $1O9999 for the present
month against a profit of s154,234 for
the corresponding month last year. The
combined net earnings for the month
are $4o,3s2,222. against 1914, sol. De-
Quoting from these figures lip of the
annual taxes, amounting to $5,776225
for the preent month and $5,44O,677 in
1905 and we have the final net of 1884,
606O07, as against $27 ,7OOs24 last year

without a single mitigating or ex-
tenuating circumstance. and once the
matter of her sanity was established
there was no legal reason why she
should not suffer the same penalty
that would be inflicted upon Il male
murderer under similar circumstances.
The state where there is no capital
punishment does not have to face
things of this kind and Maine is given
new cause to be glad that it has
abolished capital punishment.

SCIENCE PREVENTS BADNESS.
The Fatal Germ and It's Remedy Nov
Facts of Science.

It Is the rarest thing in the world for
q man to be necessarily bald. No man
whose hair is not dead at the roots, need
be bald if he will use Newbro's Herpi-
eide, the new scalp antiseptic. Herpi-
eide destroys the germ that cuts the hair
off at the root; and cleans the scalp OF
dandrufr and leaves it in a perfectly
healthy condition. Mr.. Mannett. in the
Maryland Block. Butte. Mont, was en-
tirely bald. In less than a month Herpi-
eide had removed the enemies of hair
growth. and nature did its work by COW
ering his head with thick hair an inch
long, and in six weeks he had a normal
suit of hair. Sold by leading druggists.

There has been strong feeling for
MANY years that the different bodies
had grown so in numbers that the
building which they have occupied for
nearly 40 years was inadequate for
their accommodation, but every Mason
will be forced to admit when the new
building is completed, that the frater-

Portland Advertiser: Word has been
received here that the new Federal
Court house is to be constructed of
granite instead of limestone. Granite
is the more appropriate material. 1t
is essentially Maine stone, durable
and capable of artistic treatment.
More than that, the county Court house
and the new City hall are to be built
of granite and the new Federal build
ing with walls of the same stone will
be in keeping with it's surroundings.
In the erection of large buildings we
are forced to go abroad for the struc-
tural steel and iron but the hills of
Maine contain an abundance of stone
and it is a matter of local pride to
use the fine material which is near
at hand.
