Electricity for Railroads.
Water Power Superior TO Steam
Power Under Some Conditions.

TO THE New YORK HERALD: / have
read with a great deal OF interest the
criticism of p. w. Reynolds on my arti-
Gle dealing with the possibilities in rail-
road electrifcation. The article as orig
inally written was much more complete
and covered the main points Of Mr..
Reynoldss objections, but II was neces-
sary to condense II, so that some as
poets which could have properly been
treated were unavoidably omitted
1t is quite true that II is the financial
aspect of the question that win exert
the greatest influence on the railroad
corporations decision to electrify. The
great advantages claimed for electriflca-
ton are that il will considerably reduce
fuel costs and increase transportation
capacity, and that, further, 1t viii pro-
vide an outlet for the profitable utiliza-
tion OF the power that can be derived
from developing our water resources.
IL is admitted that az our country
expands we will mead greater transit
capacity than we now possess. This can
be acquired by opening new rights Of
way, doing new tunnelling, laying addi-
tionai trackage and SO forth. but IL n
can be achieved equally we'll by electro
flying the roads is not the latter the
logical method. not only because II Ia
cheaper but also because IL carries with
it additional benefits?
Railroad executives will find justinca-
ton for electriflcation in the fuel saw
ing and additional business it will per-
nit them to handle That eleotrincatlon
pays is demonstrated by the experience
OF the Butte, Anaconda and Pacific,
which in the arst year OF electrical
operation showed a saving OF s257.sss
on an outlay Of si.s01,0o for cost of
oleotriication. While no figures are avail
able for the st. Paul. II has been as-
serted that the economies effected more
than Justify the capital expenditures.
Granting that there may be a fow
steam locomotives In operation with a
maximum capacity of over 5000 herse-
power. these fall short OF the capabili-
ties OF the electrical locomotive. The
Pennsylvania Railroad has an electrical
locomotive with rating of 1000 horse
power; and II Is within the range OF
possibilities to apply even double this
horsepower TO train provided the
roadbed and equipment prove suitable.

electric locomotive can maintain itr max

Two Evening Concert :.

Two entertainments took place in the
concert field last night. At the Aeolian
Hall Miss Mana-zucca gave a concert
of her own compositions. She was as
sisted by the Beethoven Socictv, Louis
Koemmenich, conductor: the NV York
Trio: Miss Sonya Tcrrin. soprano; Lau-
renee Leonard. barytone. and Harold
Smith, organist. The composer played
the piano accompaniments, group of
piano solos. and sang a group of chill
dren's songs. There were further varied
numbers in the list for the different
forces participating. and the audience
gave warm approval.
At Carnegie Hall Rudolph Bochco, a
Russian violinlst. who played here early
this season, gave a second recital The
principal numbers in his programme
were Handels Il major sonata, Wieni-
awsld's D minor concerto and the
Caprice Basque of Sarasate. He was
heard by a large audience. Emanuel
Balaban was at the piano.

he said: II have never wagered on
horse race in my life, but l
certainly like 10 see thoroughbred

There are many clergymen who
share BILLY SUNDAYS views about
horses. A Presbyterian minister was
for years one of the most successful
breeders of trotters in Kentucky,
while a member OF the Roman Catho-
lie hierarchy not only bred trotting
horses but wrote so entertainingly Of
them that he was recognized au-
thority on blood lines and racing
families. A splendid old priest from
New England raised thoroughbreds
and watched their races ON the met
ropolitan race courses for more than
thirty years. The list of English
clergymen prominent as breeders Of
blood stock is a long one.

Name Reform.
1t Would Give Wives Three Names
and Abolish Middle Names.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: Now
that woman has become an entity 1t
seems but fair that she should possess
an individual name.
Thus far a marriage custom has
wiped out her personality totally and
merged It in that Of her husband. She
goes for the rest of her life. except in
legal documents. under a courtesy name
his name-until she ends up her pill
grimage in the grave. There she is
once moro reinstated and the inscrip-
ton on her tombstone reads. MARY vir-
ginia Smith, beloved wife OF Samuel
Simpson Jones'"
It should be noted. however, that man
does not retire altogether from the scene
even in the graveyard. His own tomb
stone fails to announce whose beloved
husband he Is. probably because he
thinks 1t unnecessary. being himself a
whole Individual.
When this deceptive condition of
names and surnames is cleared up much
information shall be given to the world.
The mothers surname, combined with
the fathers will show the descent of
the children on both sides OF the house.
with nobody ignored or consigned to
oblivion.
But why do people to-day think they
must be loaded up with three names?
or what use is middle name? The
great OF tho earth appear to have sur
vived without it. 1t Is unthinkable to
attach It to George Washington or Alex
ander Hamilton or Abraham Lincoln or
Theodore Roosevelt, or even our late
President. though he was christened
Thomas Woodrow. Two names are suf-
ficient to designate anybody. Three will
be necessary only when woman carries
her own TO the altar.
We should drop the useless middle
name. combine the mothers and fathers
surnames and allow Mary Smith-Jones
to retain her own identity before she
gets into the graveyard.

The Grace OF Spring.

Along the happy valleys
And up the joyful hills
A sudden music sallies,
A song of gladness thrills.
Oh. hark! how clearly flowing
AS from a fairy fife

or all my bitter strife:
Oh, come! Oh, come
For airy sun is glowing
And leaf and bloom are rife.
Then come! Then come!
And share the gladness blowing
Upon the gale OF life.
7 hear the music calling
And I would play my part.
But sorrow has been falling
SO heavy on my heart!
How can / go a-straying
Where JOY has built her bowers
When Time has been a-Maying
Among my fairest flowers?
Yet comet Yet comet

For these are golden hours.
All, come All. come!
No pain is past allaying
And here are healing powers
All. where's the tree so broken
But while 1t lives at all

Oh. I'll have done with kneeling
BY Sorrows side and go
To greet the spring revealing
A joy that all may know.

In dainty flowers a-blow.

The movement owes much Of it's sue
cess TO the efforts of President JOSEPH
s. FRELrNoHUYsEN of the State Board
of Agriculture, who started the fund
with a loan Of $4,000. Through his
efforts a loan of $4,000 was secured
from JULrUs FoRsrArANN. The in
dorsement of the county club agent is
all that is necessary for any New Jer
sey boy or girl TO embark in the pro-
duction Of pure bred live stock or
fowl.
Dignity is lent the plan by enrolling
the members OF these clubs in the New
Jersey Junior Breeders Association,
which 1t is expected will later become
affiliated with the various breeders
associations which are doing much for
tho cause of pure bred stock through
out the Union.
There has been much talk about
wornout Eastern farms and about
the inability of Eastern farmers to
compete with the farmers of the
West and South. AS matter Of fact
Eastern farms are or can be made
as productive as the farms OF any
other section of the country, What
Is needed is interested young folks
to make them profitable and attrac-
five.
No better method could be adopted
to keep the boys and girls of New
Jersey on the farm than that which
is now in operation.

New Jersey Aids Young Farmers.

New Jersey is doing things to help
the States farmers which might be
initiated elsewhere with profit
Residents Of the corn belt OF the
middle West win be surprised to learn
that a New Jersey farmer, inspired
by the State Board of Agriculture's
appeal for better crops, has grown
142 bushels of corn from selected seed
on an acre OF land no richer than
other areas In the East. This yield
would excite comment IL produced on
the fattest black lands of Illinois
Iowa or Kansas; and IL liz worthy OF
the attention OF every agriculturist
In the Union.
What this New Jersey farmer has
done can be accomplished by others II
the right sort of seed is planted under
favorable conditions Fertilization
and the preparation OF the ground are
important factors in the securing OF
bumper returns of any product, and
then comes the element Of proper cul-
tivation while the crop is growing.
The young folks In the rural COM
munlties OF New Jersey are being ed
ucated In way to make them provi.
dent aud thrifty. Not only are they
being taught the elements OF live stock
production through the organization Of
boys and girls clubs, but the State
Board Of Agriculture is making Il pos
sible for those with little money or
none at all to secure funds with which
to purchase original stock. A limit OF

Battle of the British Coal Costs.

DAVID LLOYD GEORGES challenge TO
the Triple Alliance that il they think
the British public win stand national
ization of the coal industry they
ought to take that issue to the polls,
not try to thrust it upon the public
by brute force, is a strong flank at
tack, sure to have its effect before
the time comes for the miners to
carry out their threat to tie up and
starve the nation. But the political
cleverness Of LLOYD GEORGE in this
instance is no more admirable than
the economic density Of the strike
leaders is saddening
1t is more than stubborn blind
ness, it is a tragic infaruation which
impels the British labor unions to
course that would be their doom.
Their leaders declare they cannot
yield to the country because If the
coal miners wages come down they
fear general wage reductions viii re-
suit in all trades.
But this is the very thin2-coSt
reduction-upon which depends the
nations industrial life. II is Tie very
thing therefore, upon which depends
the existence of British labor itself.
Lower wages, lower production costs
more employment, better business and
sounder standards, al must follow
when there can be cheaper coal and
cheaper commodities pf all kinds.
Failing wage reduction TO permit
lower production costs and lower liv-
ing costs, along with more employ
meDt and better business. the only
other choice must be wage oblitera-
ton.
In any industrial country coal is
the basic factor OF general prices. IN
Great Britain particularly, where
manufactures are the nations heart
blood, where its main food supply
must be transported to it under coal
power and paid for with goods inn
ported as raw material under coal
power aud then produced as the fin
lshed article under coal power, the
cost Of that coal power marks a big
part the dominant part, Of the price
OF everything consumed at home and
marketed abroad.
The British workers war inflated
wage buys him a meagre dinner and
poor coat to-day because those nee
essaries of life are cursed with an
ever higher war initiation mark than
his war initiation wage. BY every
ounce Of coal burden that can be
taken out Of commodity prices and
living costs the workers wage will
gain more than an ounce Of buying
power. The coal miner himself will
he the gamer, together with all Brit
ish workers. for as the basic cost
factor Of coal comes down everything
that the British people buy and sell
among themselves and among foreign
countries, everything they eat, wear
and otherwise consume. win also
come down.
IL Beelzebub himself plotted the
downfall of the British nation and
the annihilation Of the British worker
he could not contrive n surer way to
bring the utter ruin Of both, while all
other nations are working ont the
unacceptable economic readjustments
from a war basis TO n peace basis,
than to inspire the British wage
earners with the maniacal frenzy to
fight their own readjustments 10 the

INCOME-TAX FACTS
YOU SHOULD KNOW

Numerous inquiries have been re-
ceived By the Bureau of Internal Rev
enue relating to returns of fiduciaries.
Ihe word "fiduciary'' is one that ap-
pies to all persons or corporations
that occupy positions of peculiar con-
tidence toward others, such as trus-
tees, executors. or administrators. A
1lduclary for income-tax purposes is
any person or corporation that holds
in legal trust an estate of another
person or persons. or receives and
controls the income of another.
A fiduciary relationship for tho
purpose of the income tax can not be
created by power of attorney. In all
cases where no legal trust has been
created in the estate controlled by an
agent or attorney liability under tho
income-tax law rests with the prin-
cipaL
