UNION PACIFIC IN HOT WATER AGAIN
Side Trips TO Salt Lake the Basis for
Dispute

Omaha Feb. 1.-THE new develop
ments in the western transcontinental
trouble, growing out of the refusal of
General Manager Dodge of the Rio
Grande road to indorse the agreement
supposed to have been completed is
very seriously complicating the situa-
ton. General Passenger Agent Lomax
of the Union Pacific, said on this sub
ject: For 20 years the Union Pacific
has granted side-trips to Salt Lake on
tickets having limit sufficient to allow
such a visit. We are not likely to cut it
off now because the Rio Grande West
ern refuses to grant us the equality we
have insisted upon. There must be
some mistake, however, for the tele-
gram of Colonel Dodge is ambiguous.

Need of a Christian Ballot.

the article by DR. Theodore Cuyler
of Brooklyn which appeared in a
recent issue of the Baptist and Re-
1ectOr. | consider it a most hope
full sign that our minis -ers are
awaking to the fact that we need a
Christian ballot in our land instead
of partisan political ballot; that
political questions have a moral
and ethical as we'll as an economic
side.s
When the professed followers of
Christ awake to the fact that every
ballot not cast on the right side of
any public question is morally
wrong-is a sin against society,
against every individual in the
land-then we may lift up our
heads, for our redemption from
present evil conditions will draw
nigh. AS DR.. Cuyler well says,
the ballot is a tremendous trust,
and if we fail in our duty to the
whole people we must pay he cost
in evil and oppressive Legislation.
Our Christian people have too
long been split up INTO opposing
political factions and given too lit
tie consideration to the rieh'fulness
or wrongfulness of the principles
they champion. They have too
long left the making of paf'rms
and the declaration of pr'n"'p es to
non Christian and evil minded men.
When Christian men learn not to
be SO sIavlsh to the party lash as
to "vote the ticket, right or
wrOng," as they are ordered to do
by party managers, then will be
more attention given them and
right principles will have some
chance of being enacted into law.
1t is a remarkable as we'll as a
sorrOwful fact that good, honest,
Christian people, claiming to de-
sire that which is just and right in
all things, are yet so divided into
factions with opposing opinions
and partisan prejudices so strong
as to blind them TO the truth, and
that, 40, about principles to which
only the one touchstone-as to
whether it is right or wrong
should be applied. Every one has
a right tn his own opinlon, and no
one can rightfully seek to impose
his opinions on another; but we all
owe it as duty, Christian duty,
to our fellowmen, to examine and
see that our political opinions are
right and just, and not the result
of party prejudice.
We are on the eve of-nay. we
have already entered-an era of |
tremendous social struggle and |
stress. The man is blind to pre-
sent social conditions and the |
course of events who cannot see it.
Our political, social, moral and re-
ligious institutions are tro ubled |
with an alp ervading unrest-the
sure forerunner OF coming change. |
They will be subjected to tremen-
dOus strain IN passing through it. |
Where are our church members
and ministers going to be found
during the fiery trial? It is impos-
sib G for them to remain neutral.
Their silence chooses for them.
VIII thew look on in selfish indo-
lence and ease at the terrible strug-
giles of humanity to escape from
intolerable conditions and take no
part therein? The enemy seek no
better aid ON them. But if, as I
hope and believe. they will awake
and see with unholden eyes, they
will Join issue in the worlds great
est of moral battles. and the result
cannot be doubttul.-Baptist and

THE TIME IS UP
And Birmingham May Lose the Annual National Convention of the AmaIgamated Associa-
 ton of Iron and Steel Workers.

It was learned by an Age-Herald re- porter yesterday that Birmingham stands a good showing to lose the annual national convention of the Anna lgamated Association of Iron and Steel Workers, which was voted at the last annual con Vention to be held here. This action was the result of a guarantee from the Bir- mngham Commercial club of 5000 to be used toward mileage of delegates. De- troit was a close second Tn the race for the convention and it was only by timely action that Birmingham got the plum.
 The reporter was informed that Presi- dent Garland had written letters to the several lodges in this district informing them that the guarantee had not been re- ceiVed and the time was up and it was very probable the convention would go to Detroit. The letters have created much uneasiness among the members Of the several local lodges, as they were banking heavily on having the conyen- tion held here, as 1t would be the first time the south would be so honored. the conventions heretofore having been held north of Mason and DiXon's line.
 Birmingham Lodge No. 1 will hold meeting tonight. which will be attended by other locals and it Is understood ac- tion will be taken on the letters. An ef fort will be made to have two weeks ex- tension of time in order to allow Birming- ham to come to the front with the guar antee and thus secure the much -deSlred convention.
 The holding of such a convention as that of the Amalgamated Association of Iron and Steel Workers in this city just at this time. so some of the leading local members say, would mean much for Bir- mingham. There are upwards of 300 del- egates and many of them would come ac- companied by their families, which would mean the spending of thousands of dollars here. Besides this, many Iron and Steel Workers other than delegates would take advantage of the passenger rates and pay the Plttsburg of the south a visit. These. too. would leave a consd- erabe sum of money behind on their re- turn home Added to this it would be a big card for Birmingham, which would be the means of advertising the Magic City in the east, north and west.
 The question now is. Will Birming- ham have the conVention?"

 SCHOOL NOTES.

The teachers of the public schools will hold the first meeting of the present ses- sion in the high school building al 10 o'clock today. This meeting will be de- voted largely to preliminary arrange ments and instructions to principals and teachers by the superintendent It is un- derstood that all teachers, whether in the public or private schools of the county, as well as the citizens generally are in vited to attend these meetings. The col ored teachers will meet in the afternoon at 3:30 o'clock.
 All the public schools will open on Mon day morning. The schedule will be the same as last year, the schools opening at 9 a. m and closing a D. m., with fifteen minutes intermission at 12. In the lower grades two five minute intermissions will be given in addition to physical culture exercises every thirty minutes.
 A large number of new pupils have all ready been examined for admission into the high school. The high standing of work and culture maintained by this de- partment of our public school system will be kept up and the work of the com ing year will be more efficient than ever before. The very brightest young men and women of Birmingham are students in the high school, and their earnest and enthusiastic work would make any insti- tuition famous. The teachers are special ists in their departments and need no cheap advertising to make known their worth to the schools and the community.
 The teachers will organize lyceum clubs in connection with the several schools of the city for the purpose of spe- cial study. The course of reading will include history and literature, as we'll as educational science. The teachers who have pursued the lyceum course during the past two years have been greatly benefited and have made great progress in their profession.
 Some of the teachers have been discuss ing the organization of a special club, in which teachers, ministers and others in- terested might discuss some of the spe- cial problems of psychology in their ap- plications to pedagogy, sociology, etc. Such club would unquestionably prove of great interest and would be exceeding ly instructive to it's members. Let it be organized.
 The Birmingham school exhibit will be ready for shipment to the Atlanta expo Sition some time next week.

THE MAYORS PLAN GROWS APACE.

The Kansas City, Memphis and Bir- mingham Railway company have prof fered Mayor VanHoose the use of six coaches to be used in transporting the crowd to Atlanta should the mayors scheme materialiZe.
 As the Age-Herald has heretofore stated Mayor VanHoose is trying to ar range to take 200O or 5000 people, business, professional and la aboring men to Atlanta on Birmingham day for the purpose of making big demonstration. He has ap- peaed to the Southern Railway com pany for free transportat tion, or at least the use of enough engines to haul the crowd and few coaches. The Louisville and Nashville has offered the use of twelve and the Kansas City, Memphis and Birmingham six, making eighteen in all. It is believed the other roads en- tering Birmingham will lend a few cars, in addition to the above mentioned.
