SUBSCRIPTION RATES

The proposed change or correcting
the name of this beautiful village
from Island Pond to Brighton is be-
ing thoughttully considered by many
of the present and former residents
who have the best interests of the
place ever in view. The communica-
ton published last week from DR..
Tracy gives strong reasons for this
change. DR.. Tracy is a descendant
of one of the original settlers Of IS
land Pond, and although it has been
many years since he was resident
of the village, the old home town
has warm place in his heart. He
is able 70 Judge this question from
the viewpoint of an outsider as well
as from the strong attractions he
has for his bOyhood home. 1t is well
to fully discuss this question and the
HERALD will be glad to publish
articles on it from all, giving pub
licity to every viewpoint. DR.. Tracy
has given fine description of the
lake and it's surroundings, but this
pen picture does not overdo-no
wording can fully express its pictur-
esque beauty. But DR.. Tracy has
excelled. How beautifully is his
description worded-" as if the Green
Mountain range had opened its arms
to coax this body of water to nestle
on it's bosom, and further enhance
the beauty of the scene placed an
emerald gem in its center" Then
the thought that this lake rests upon
the top of a watershed where the
waters from the lake flow west and
north through Clyde river, Lake
Memphremagog and the st. Law
renee, and the waters from Nulhegan
river rising just below the lake, flow
east and south into the Connecticut,
the drainage from this watershed
entering the ocean hundreds of miles
apart. We publish in this issue an
article from Sarah M. Hobson, MD,
of Chicago, who puts the argument
in a nutshell, when she says, The
name Island Pond is handicap be-
cause 1t has to be explained" This
article closes with the concise and
suggestive phrase, Call it Brighton,
and do it now"

Plenty of Good Men in Party.

The appointment of a man in
North Carolina to fill the position of
national bank examiner here in Yer
mont is not at all satisfactory to the
state democrats, and it ought not tc
be. Plenty of good men in the party
here in Vermont to fill that position
without the trouble of going so fan
from home.-Vermont Union Jour.

Now that President Wilson has
appointed South Carolinaian bank
examiner for Vermont, why should
he not appoint Vermont democrat
to an equally good government of
flee for South Carolina? Turn about

be of benefit to both states. Surely
President Wilson will not ignore the
loyalty and stuanch support of Yer

teract the drain which has been 60

be stated, too, that the census bureau,

1917, figures on the basis of the com
parative standing between the census
of 1900 and 1910 and not from actual
information.-Barre Daily Times.

mas trees a help and source of in
come to the farmers. Farmers who
wish to keep pasture land free from
growing trees find the Christmas
tree cutters a great help and receive
quite a tidy sum for them. There
are certain pasture lands where
spruce and fir trees grow rapidly
and the farmer, to keep his pastures
good, has to cut these young trees at
least once in five years. This is quite
an expense, but when the Christmas
tree cutters come along he gets this
done gratis, and besides receives a
fairly good price for them. Here is
where the farmer gets something
for this work. However, if the cut
ting of Christmas trees means the
destruction and denuding of the for
est, then we most emphatically OBJ
ject.

Vermont Democrats Loyal.

CA lilphS ACClIlUSItJS 10y dls
Nothing testifies to man loyalty
to a cause like his being willing to
put his own money into the further
ing Of it. That Vermont Democrats
are loyal, although in a well-nigh
impossible minority in this state, the
contribution of $4,000 to the ma
tional campaign fund well shows,
and the national treasurer says that
if Vermont's ratio had been main
tanned throughout the country more
than $14,000,000 could have been
raised by subscription. The APP
pointment Of a Southerner to fill the
vacancy in the national bank exam

ward for such Ioyalty.-St. Adams

Justice to Public and Roads.

:. 1t should be made the duty Of the
Interstate Commerce Commission, in
the exercise of its powers 70 fix rea-
sonabIe rates, to 50 adjust these rates
that they shall be Just at once to the
public and to the carriers. To this end
the Commission, in determining rates,
should consider the necessity of main
tanning efficient transportation and eX-
tensions of facilities, the relation Of
expenses to rates and the rights of
shippers, stockholders and creditors of
the roads.

Mr. Thorn explained that the roads
are not asking either of the Committee

the perfection Of a system which win

SAFETY DEMANDS
FEDERAL CONTROL
OF The RAILROADS
Only Way TO Meet Emergencies
Of Nation, Says A. P. Thorn.
STATES RIGHTS PRESERVED

Principles Which Railways Hold Should
Govern Regulatory System In Inter
ests of Public and the Roads-Com-
puIsory System of Federal Incorpo-
ration Favored.
Washington, Dec 4.-That the inter
ests of national defense require that
control of railway lines should rest
with the federal government and not
with the states was the claim ad-
vanced by Alfred 2. Thorn, counsel
to the Railway Executives Advisory
Committee in concluding his prelim.
mary statement of the case for the
railways before the Newlands Joint
Committee on Interstate Commerce.
1--WE must be efficient as a nation if
we are to deal successfully with our
national emergencies said Mr.. Thorn,
land we must appreciate that efficient
transportation is an essential condition
VI uuLlplul tulNlGuNy. II We dlc "
halt and weaken our transportation
systems by state lines, by the perma-
nent imposition of burdens by unwiSe
regulation, we will make national eff
cheney impossible"
States Rights Would Not Suffer.
Mr. Thorn cited many instances in
which shippers in one state were in
jurlously affected by selfish regula-
lions imposed on the railroads by
neighborlng states. He pointed out
that federal regulation would be no in
vaSion of the rights of the states but
would be the means Of preserving the
rights which they acquired when they
entered the Union, one of which was
the right to the free movement Of their
products across state boundaries.
What the Railroads Advocate.
The principles which the railroads
believe should be incorporated in any
just system of regulation were sum
married. by Mr.. Thorn as follows:
l. The entire power and duty Of reg
tl'lllOll ouOulu NC Ill IllC lloIlNlo VI tLlC
national government, except as to mat
ters 50 essentially local and incidental
that they cannot be used to interfere
with the efficiency Of the service or the
just rights of the carriers.
2. AS one of the means of accom-
plishing this, a system Of compulsory
federal Incorporation should be adopt
ed, into which should be brought all
railroad corporations engaged in inter
state or foreign commerce.
3. The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion under existing laws has too much
to do and is charged with conflicting
functions including the investigation,
prosecution and decision of cases The
latter duties should be placed in the
hands of a new body which might be
called the Federal Railroad Commits
sion. Regional Commissions should
he established in different parts of
the country to assist the Interstate
Commerce Commission by handling To-
cal cases.
4. The power of the Commission
should he extended to enable it to pre-
scribe minimum rates and not merely
maximum rates as at present, This
would increase their power to prevent
unjust determinations.

HoTs TO FILL 100 CARS

Portland, Or, jan, 20.-What is re.
garded as one Of the biggest contracts
for freight traffic closed here for quite
a while is the order recently secured by
the North Bank Railroad to moy APP
proXimately 10000 bales Of hops from
various points in the Willamette val
ley TO the Atlantic seabomd.
The hops recently were purchased
from growers representatives and
warehouse men by Louis Lachmund, Of
Salem, for London brokers and brew
ers.
The shipment will require about 100
ears. LOADING win be started in Sa-
lem and vicinity within the next few
days. 1t is proposed to assemble the
cars in Portllnd as rapidly as possible
and start them eastward promptly. 1t
is probable that the movement viii be
made up in trainload lots when it
reaches Spokane.
East of Spokane the business will be
divided between the Great Northern
and Northern Pacific roads, which will
naul it to st. Paul whence it will be
distributed over various routes.

Willamette Prepared to
Put Up Good Game

Willamette university basketball
fans will pull hard for their team when
the varsity lines up against the Uni
versity Of Washington team in vii
lamette gym tonight. The University
of Washington has a string OF victories
to their credit this season and will en-
deavor to add another against William
ette. Washington has the better of
the argument on comparative scores
but the W. L. boys are counting on
their home rooters and home grounds
to overshaiow the advantage tonight.
Coach Matthews says his squad is in
the best shape this season for the game
and the boys have been putting in
some nard practice for the coming con
test during the last week. The defeat
by the University of California taught
the boys some new tricks which they
will probably try out on the visitors to-
night. The University of California,
by the way, also trimmed the Washing
ton quintet.

DO YOU SUFFER
FROM BACKACHE?

When your kidneys are weak aad
torpid thew do not properly perform
their functions; your back aches and
you do not teel like doing much Of
anything You are likely to be de-
spOndent and to borrow trouble, Just
as if You hadn t enough already. Don It
be a victim any longer.
The old reliable medicine, Hood s
Sarsaparilla, gives strength and tone
to the kidneys and builds up the whole
system.
Hood s Sarsaparilla is a peculiar com
bination of roots, barks and herbs. No
other medicine acts like it, because no
other medicine has the same formula
or ingredients. Accept no substitute,
but insist on having Hood S and get
1t today.
