Little question for today: What was
the origin of the phrase, "six weeks
shedding in March?"-Boston Globe.
That's an easy one. We were told
many years ago that the phrase origi-
mated from six members of family
named Weeks enjoying sleighride in
the month of March, and we were &C.
ouainted with the family. Come again.

The election of mayors IN Maine cities,
held up to this time, show remarkable
gains in strength for the Republican
partv with one or two exceptions. The
third party is claiming credit for the
Lewiston and Bangor results. In Lewis
ton they are entitled to only so many
votes as were cast in their column. In
Bangor they bad no candidate, the indie
nendent and successful candidate refused
a Progressive nomination. The munich
pal elections point toward united action
in September.

When an individual, with the added
emphasis of an oath, threatens to ruin
another, does he not become amenable to
some form of law? When the character
of the citizen so threatened is above re-
proach the threat must mean financial
ruin. If in trade it may mean taking
away his business by boycott, but when
the only property of the person so threat
ened is his home, what does such a
threat imply? Should not citizen be
protected from such threats, as we'll as
from the carrying of them into execu-
ton?

Why should this government after
spending millions of dollars to build a
c anal through its own territory open it
to foreign competitors of our own ship
ping on equal terms? English and other
foreign ships are built at less cost than
our own, because Of the lower wages
paid abroad, and are run more cheaply
because their officers and men receive
less compensation. The Democratic
platform called for the exemption of
American coastwise ships from tolls at
Panama, and President Wilson's conten-
ton at this late day that this would be in
violation of treaty with Great Britain
is not sustained by recognized authority
on international law and others whose
opinions are at least as worthy of &C.
ceptance as those of Mr.. Wilson or his
supporters In this connection the letter
of Mr.. George Eustis of Washington, D.
c., on the Sd page, will be read with in-
terest.

the eastern railroads to increase their rates, leads to the impression that the railroad companies are in part to blame for the condition from which they hope to be relieved by the action of the com mission. These statistics show that some of the railroad companies have expended very large sums of money in constructing terminal facilities One item in the list of figures represents the New York Cen tral Railroad company as having invested approximately $5oooo,o00 in it's new ter minal in New York city. Another item shows that the investment of the Penn sylvania Railroad company, which is rep resented by it's terminals on Manhattan Island and upon Long Island approxi- mates S100 900. Reference is made to the magnitude of the sum which must be invested when the Chicago terminals and approaches thereto at Kansas City will, when completed. have involved an expenditure of about $50,000,000.
 Therefore. at a superficial reading the opinion is formed that some of the rail- road companies have expended enormous amounts in the construction of terminals which are conspicuous because of their architectural beauty and magnitude, but which entail heavy interest charges.
 But there is another side to this sub ject and 1t is one of which the public has little knowledge. If we take the case of the New York Central terminal as an example, it will be easy to show that this terminal work was instituted at the command of the New York legislature. In 1902, the legislature by statute com manded the New York Central to adopt some method of operating the trains by electricity for a distance of 10 miles and ultimately at least 9 miles north of the Grand Central station. This station had been for s0 years the single railway sta- tion upon the Island of Manhattan, with the exception of an inconspicuous station

ARREST SALESMAN
 FOR TIPPING PORTER

Jackson, Miss, July 20.-(Special)-The first arrest ever made in this city, and so far as known in the state, for viola ton of the 'anti-tipping law was made yesterday morning by w. J. Ligon, plain clothesman for the city. His victim was A. NJ. Sinclair. a travelling salesman for the Welch Grape Juice company. As MT. Sinclair stepped aboard the Alabama and vfcksburg passenger train, going towards Meridian, he handed the negro porter a dime. Mir. Ligon supposed ie was tipping the porter for having brought his bag gage to the train, and arrested him. He was released on s25 cash bond to secure his attendance on the police court Mon day morning.
 MT. Sinclair took his arrest as good naturedly as could have been expected, but explains that he was only paying the negro TOT going to the postoffice for him two or three days ago when he was in Jackson and had left without settling with the boy for the extra service and which he claims is not q part of his hotel duties. On such an explanation to Police Justice Mfnshp lltere Is no doubt the case against MT. Sinclair will be dis missed.

ANN|STON WANTS B|G CHURCH SCHOOL Would Favor Establishing Presbyterian University
 -. A. P. c. FOR NEUCLEUS Company NJ Leaves Tuesday for En- campment in Montgomery-Char-
 ity Ward Needed in St.
 Luke's Hospital

Anniston, July 2O.-(Special )--The Pres byterians of Birmingham. and several that are not Presbyterians. Lave been very generous in helping the Alabama Presbyterian college for men In this city. and while Annistonians would have helped te build the big Methodist university there, local Presby yterians do not feel in- clined to help Oglethorpe university in Atlanta.
 It is the opinion of many of the mem- hers of that church here that. inasmuch as Atlanta has secured the big Methodist school, it would be best for the members of that church in the south to build a big Presbyterian university at some other investment. and it is planned to try to make Anniston headquarters for a larger school for Presbyterian support.
 Centrally located, free of debt with a fine record for scholarship and growing every year, it is argued that the Alabama Presbyterian college for men is the logical nucleus for a big southern Presbyterian university and Annistonians are behind the project to boost it to larger statue.
 Dean White states that he has received letters of very flattering nature rom President McDougall, the members of the board of trustees and the canvassers in the field in regard to the prospects for next years enrolment and a banner attendance is anticipated.
 Company M,s the only military company now in the Anniston district, will leave for the state encampment near Mont gomery Tuesday, under command of Capt Arthur Harrison, by whom 1t was recently reorganized.

Smith, who has been regimental dental surgeon for the Fourth regiment for several years.
