Among Railroad Men: Sunday traffic in
freight and passenger business is re-
garded by this department a serious in
fringenent upon the rights of employees.
The past year has been one of especial
extras" By our request state super:n-
tendents have reported as to usage and
law in their several states, upon tbs
point, with the result that local freight
and passenger trains are greatly dis
continued, but advantage is taken of this
to run extra" stock trains. Effort is
being made to reach conscientious Chris
tian men in the great stock growing
regions, and lead them to refrain from
loading stock or having it in transit upon
Sunday.
Patronage of Sunday mail and pas
senger trains has been uniformly de-
Drecated by this department. And each
ministry and membership of Christian
churches are responsible for many
burdens imposed upon the worlds rest
day.
International cooperation in railway
work is essential TO further development,
especially upon this continent. The ma
iority of great railway systems, either

u-eSt of Mrs. NJ. E. Cole. of Montreal,
Canada, have sent to that city responsive
readings, plans of work of the railway
department and supplies, which pcre

tens are essentially similar TO our own,
and their employees, as also many Of

A LIVE ORGANIZATION
The Merchants Association Discusses
Questions of the Day
The Pacific Tail Company's Discrimination
Against Los Angeles to Be Probsd
to the Bottom

The Merchants association Is taking
up live questions affecting the interests
and welfare of the business community.
Last evening the board of directors dis
cussed the report of its committee rec
ommending the enactment of so-called
Torrens system of land transfers. The
report was signed by Major George H.
Bonebrake, H. Jevne and Gen. {. r. A
Last. BY this admirable system land
is transferred as readily as shares OF
stock in a corporation. No expensive
searching of title is involved, for the
title is guaranteed by the state govern
ment. The Torrens system is now i'm
operation in Illinois and Ohio and will
probably be adopted by other states at
their legislative sessions next winter.
The board of directors had inteTro-
gated Chief Moore of the fire depart
ment in regard to the efficiency of its
equipment, and received a communica-
ton from the fire commissioned to the
effect that the city is paying annual
rentals for leased premises aggregating
between $1,000 and $4,000 Now if the
city should issue per cent bonds for
$125, COO, il could buy up this leased prop
erty, build two or three more needed
engine houses, and thoroughly equip
them all, save money for the taxpayers
and have additional safeguards for
property. Some of the members doubt
ed if the voters to whom the question
will have to be referred will see the mat
ter in that light, but all agreed that some
relief should be promptly furnished
Mr.. Stuart brought up the subject of
ocean commerce, and stated that the
Pacific Mail teamship company is
sending its coastwise steamers from
San Francisco past our active business
communities in Southern California to
Mazatlan, and thence to all ports in
Mexico and Guatemala to Panama, en-
coura ging a profitable trade for San
Francisco, and leaving Los Angeles.
which is 500 miles nearer those ports,
entirely out in the cold. In this way from
half million to a million dollars worth
of trade is annually lost to the second
city on the coast. One cannot even take
an ocean trip to Mexico without going
1000 miles out of the way, via San Fran
CISCO Concerted measures should be
promptly taken to remedy this evil and
injustice.
The Merchants association will move
to its new and pleasant quarters in the
Wilcox building in about a fortnight,
and will arrange for reception of their
friends at that time.
New members were elected as follows:
j. G.. Eagleson, Security Savings bank,
Dinmore Soap company and F.W. Braun
& Co.

If Rev. ]. F. G.. Finley, pastor of the
Bellevue avenue Methodist Episcopal
church, south, is seeking notoriety, he
the reverend gentleman will probably
not soon forget.
The executive committee having in
charge the proper celebration of the
Fourth of July several days ago sent out
letters to the ministers of every church
of every denomination in the city, re-
questing that upon the Sunday preced-
ing the great day a sermon commemora-
tive of American independence be de-
livered from every pulpit, and that all
of the church affairs be upon that day
draped with the Stars and Stripes The
invitations in question were as follows:
Reverend Sir: The Fourth of July ex-
ecutive committee are devoting their
time to making a success of the coming
celebration, and to this end every effort
is being made to unite all classes and Sc
cure the cooperation of our citizens.
Recognizing your influence as an ed
ucator of the youth of this nation in
morality and patriotism, we desire that
special effort be made to bring the youth
OF our city under this influence, that
they may be taught to respect the flag
under which they live. We particular
~ request that you preach patriotic
sermon from your pulpit on the morning
or evening of June 2Sth, and in addition
display the national colors on your altar.
Believing that your interest in our
celebration and everything that will
awaken loyalty and patriotism in the
hearts of your people will move you to a
hearty approval of this request.
favorable response to the above was

ception is Rev. j. F. G. Finley, pastor
of the Bellevue avenue Methodist
church South, who has forwarded to the
committee the following very remarka-
BILE letter:
am in receipt of circular letter from
you, sent, / presume, to all the ministers
in the city You ask a reply, and evil
IDENTIFY expect one favorable to your re-
quest.
l wish to say 1 entirely disapprove of
your request of US to turn the holy Sab
bath and the house of God into Fourth
of July celebration.
If l thought you or your committee
would give respectful attention to any
reasons l might give for my position
in the matter, l would gladly give them;
but l expect you to toss this into your
waste basket with the facetious remark.
Another fool heard from" or words to
that effect.
I will only add that I have authority
from my Master to preach the kingdom
of God" to preach Christ crucified -
but none whatever to deliver political
harangues or shoot off Fourth of July
orations on the Sabbath and in the house
of Cod so you will please excuse me, and
l know you will.
1 also beg to be excused from decorat-
ing the altar sacred to Christ by display
ing the national colors, or any other
