Jefferson Davis Name Ordered Back
on Tablet.

Washington, Feb 22.--Official amends
for the sensational elimination of Jeffer-
son Davis name from the tablet on
Cabin John Bridge" six miles west Of
this city, during President Lincoln's ad-
ministration, is given in the directions
the President issued to-day, through the
Secretary of War to the chief of engi-
neers of the army, to restore the name.
The tablet is on the bridge that arches
Cabin John Run, on the Maryland side
of the Potomac River. a structure fa-
nous for years as the longest single span
stone bridge in the world.
The bridge was begun under Davis,
as Secretary of War, andwhen he joined
the Confederacy, and became its presi-
dent, his name, under Government or
ders, was chiseled from the tablet.
Repeated efforts to restore it have
been made. At the 1907 convention OF
the Daughters of the Confederacy, at
Richmond, a resolution was adopted
asking for the Davis restoration, and
Representative Meyer, of Louisiana,
sought unsuccessfully to have this car
ried ont.

ize that there was as much happiness
in his day as there is in our day-that
Joy and sorrow are still the lot of man,
as they were with him and as they will
be forever. If Washington should look
over the daily papers he would find that
there is more crime, more murder, in
proportion to the population in this
country now than when he was young
man. Then he would probably wing
his flight back to heaven, whence he
came, for there alone does man find the
fullness of life. Commercial Appeal.

WHEAT WILL BE HIGH.

I'VE have no, longer an unlimited
public. domain awaiting the plow. On
the whole it is more likely that the
wheat acreage will be reduced than it
will be enlarged. We may perhaps as
sumo that steady and certain price of
81 or $1.25 per bushel for wheat may
raise our total annual product to 900,-
900, 900 bushels, which would be per
cent more than its present average.
This is the limit Of probability.
The country could under present
methods do no more unless it took land
just as necessary for other purposes and
devoted it to wheat raising.
Figuring on the present rate of con-
sumption we shall be left practically
with shortage OF 400, ,000,0 900 bushels
in our wheat supply, even supposing
that we consume every grain we raise.
This amount we should have to procure
from some other source.
We must be prepared to send abroad
about $500, ,000,0 900 worth Of some COM
modify in payment for the wheat we
will need. We must also make good
the deficit occasioned by the cessation
of our exports of breadstuffs and pro-
visions. In the year ending June 80,
1908, we exported wheat and flour to
the value in round numbers of $164,
600, 900. That will be cut off, so we
shall have to find 100000, 900 in all to
pay our food BILL"

It will be observed that in this list
are five lawyers of whom Mr.. Taft be-
lieves there are none better in the coun-
try. 1t may be stated that this fact is
not mere coincidence, but is an ac-
complishment which has been carefully
planned and striven for by the incom-

tant relation to what he believes to be
the important work of the Admins
tration.
J. M. Dickinson, of Tennessee, who
accepted the war portfolio. at the hands
of Mr.. Taft, will give up the position
of general solicitor for the Illinois Cen

Mrs. Dickinson was Miss Overton,
daughter of Gen. Oyerton, and both are
related to prominent Southern families.

unless it is something bad about your

editor: THAT was a hot shot you gave

But if you stop to notice you will re-
member that you never told the writer
such a thing when anybody else could
hear you. You were afraid to, weren't
you? And you don't want the truth.
1t is an item of news when your child
fails to pass an examination in school,
just as much so as when he succeeds in
passing. But. Lord; how mad you
get if the editor mentioned it, Your
daughters chasing after that be-oiled
haired dry goods machinist is notorious
town talk in fact, but when the wedding
notice appears you don't want the pa
per man to give a notice something like
this:
After several months of hard work,
Miss App Aren't Fraud has succeeded in
landing that young rake, Mr. Oy Lee
Tough, who is rustling dry goods for
Jones. The Lord knows she has angled
long enough for beau, and the whole
town rejoices that she has at last sue
ceeded in landing sucker" Now you
dom want that. If it is SO, even if you
are good christian, yourself, you want
the'poor journalist to risk his immortal
soul and lie about your daughter. You
want him to go to hell vicariously, don't
you? And when you get a job after
asking every man in town you want us
to say you accepted a position" And
when you get fired you want us to get
up on our behind legs and say that you
have resigned your responsible place.
No, the Lindborg News is exactly right
and the poor editor cannot hope to have
any great reputation for truth and verac-
ity so long as you insist on his being
a constant liar about your own petty,
little contemplate affairs. And when
that sot of husband dies, all we can
possibly say is, he had his faults, I"
when as a matter of fact the morality of
the town goes up AZ per cent at his de-
mise. And when your poor, hard-work-
ing wife goes sixteen miles out in the

you don't want us to call attention to

BARRE GRANITE FOR BUILDING
WORK.

While Barre would not give up its
monumental business for all the building
granite business in New England, it is
nevertheless true that Barre would like
to secure the latter as an adjunct to its
already established industry. So the
plans which are being considered by the
board Of trade at the present time are
particularly interesting. with the right
kind Of quarry stock at our disposal and
with plenty Of available men to under
take the work, there remains but one
thing further to encourage the starting
of new enterprise. The one thing Is
the contracts which shall keep a plant
of ordinary size running until Barre's
reputation for building granite shall have
equalled its reputation in the monumen-
tai line. Il viii take time for this
branch Of the business to become settled
and the new industry has got to be nur-
tured carefully at the outset to insure
its existence If contracts were to be
had readily, the building granite industry
would spring up Of its own accord. Just
get few contracts diverted toward
Barre, and the means for cutting them
viii not be long in springing up. Per
haps the best way to divert some Of
those contracts this will be to advertise
the fact that Barre il going into this
line Of work and that we have the gran
tie and the other requisites for turning
out the contracts. The formation of a
stock company would be the first step
toward the publicity which is needed,
and it ought to be followed up with a
vigorous campaign Of advertising in the
trade magazines and other journals.
