BY proclamation OF Governor Hat

Health Day" This is a rational ap-
zeal to the people TO clean up the ac-
foundations OF filth and rubbish Of
the winter. which threaten 10 become
the breeding places OF infectious and
contagious diseases when the warm
spring sun begins to shine. A dirty
town is reflection on and a reproach
TO any people. Personal pride and
the civic spirit. IL seems, would in
spire instant response TO this appeal.
The necessity for clean backyards is
greater than an imposing dwelling
front, and the accruing advantages
and protection OF a thorough clean up
are so obvious that city jewellers
should need no urging in this matter.
The Governor. in his proclamation.
requests the churches TO aid In this
material publication. and that the
ministers from every pulpit In the
State tomorrow proclaim the sol
emn obligation that rests on society
and on the Individual to work for
clean and healthful conditions OF liv-

the Christian church be engaged in
than promoting cleanliness. which. we

SENATOR NELSON w. ALDRICH

The death Of former Senator Mel
son w. Aldrich. of Rhode Island. re-
moves one OF the most conspicuous
figures in national life. as well as one
of the staunchest opponents OF the
fundamental principle OF the Repub-
lican faith in the country. He dies
at time when the vindication OF the
protection he so long and ably advo-
Gated in Congress has come through
the trial OF the opposite contentious
and policies OF the Democratic party
He lived TO see the critics OF the
tarin measure with which his name
was so intimately associated con
founded, and when the people have
had an opportunity to reflect on the
prosperous times under the Payne
Aldrich bill in comparison with the
distress brought about under the IN
derwood -simmons measure.
He was also an advocate and ex.
FOUNDER Of sound financial policies.

merce Commissions report the rail-

Of the last fiscal year. OF sl.ss7 900

There was. under the free trade
conditions OF 1914. a decrease OF 12o.-

ployes. which means $4,000. 900 less
money paid In wages and spent by

nues declined s7s.11s.oee. while op-
Grating expenses were reduced only

the railway capital stock outstanding
received no dividends in 1914: q
heavy loss to stockholders.
No interest was paid in 1914 on
r.s3i.5si.452. or II per cent OF the

loss to holders OF securities. Losses
In current market values OF railroad

DIARY OF CURIOSITY

The ievitatons and the deviations
OF the New Freedom administration
are noted by an observant correspond
ent OF The Intelligence. who has kept
a diary Of its variations as chronicled
in the press dispatches sent out daily
from Washington. To the ordinary
mind the connecting may be confusing.
but the reader OF the Delphic oracles
will have no trouble In catching
on:
Monday-"we are not shipping
arms to England"
Tuesdsy-"we will not stop the
shipment OF arms 10 England"
Wednesday-"we are observing
strict neutrality"
Thursday-"Presiden Wilson is in
