Those persons in Congress and out-and

GROWTH or PEACE IDEA.

NJ Kola Tesla, the great electrician,
recently wrote an article on The PROB
lem Of Increasing Human Energy. In
the course of the article Mr.. Tesla said
that the objects of civilization and re-
lieion were to give TO mankind loou'
peace and work. How these ends might
be obtained for the world at large was
discussed in n broad way by Mr.. Tesla,
and it was to the problem OF attaining
those very ends that the Hon. D. ~
ToElpkins turned the attention OF his
hearers Tuesday night. Mr. TomplSins
made a notable address and one that
cannot fail TO bear fruit for TIE good OF
this community and for the whole South.
The central idea OF Mr.. Tonpkins talk was
that to-day is the day Of peace as opposed
to war, Of the conservatism of energy as
opposed TO reckless wastefulness.
But III order to have peace we must
have Justice and food, and food means
work The question, then, is how to get
the greatest amount OF food and for the
labor expended aud how to cultivate in
the community such Il spirit Of mutual
IDFteafaIlcG ana JuStiCt VIII >ihS t7
peace.
The conservatism of energy, the in
crease of production, the advancement
and spread OF comforts arc matters of
science applied to material conditions.
All these might exist and mans life still
be miserable AS Mr. Tompkins pointed
out, before the French Revolution the
wealth of France was owned by one body
Of men and the work was done by the
rest. The result the Revolution that
beheadcd the capitalists and craZed the
labcrcrs The conditions for happiness
we're present without the spirit of fair
ness and Justice that would make their
employment possible
To-day We appreciate the benefits of
peace somewhat better than formerly,
for the manufacturers are rapidly adopt
ing d system of production that does not
necessitatc a fierce and relentless war
unon each other as a condition of cXis
tencc. That part of the public Which
formerly was unjustly benefited by the
results Of these wars cries out against
the manufacturers as robbers, ana vet
the bread of the iaborers, the opportunity
of education for his children, the peace
of the community and the stability OF
society are often dependent upon Juse
such methods of keeping the peace as
the producers have adopted
Mr.. Tompkins made it clear that our
advance in civilization and social order
and comforts must be in accord with nat
,lral law to be sound and permanent. and
that one of the requirements for the IN
creased comfort and welfare OF a people
was peace between nations, between
trades and between classes
No one can tell to what an extent the
marvellous material welfare OF America
has been due to the absence OF class feel-

NNHAT CUNGIiESS DID.

The consideration of the great railroad
systems of the country has brought many
people TO reflection. one Of our Southern
CONTEMPORARIES which stood by the Chi
cago platform says that Congress is re-
sponsiblc for this railroad consolidation,
because ii has steadily refused to grant
the railroads the privilege Of pooling their
earnings.
Quite true Congress always makes a
mess of il when it attempts to interfere
with the natural laws OF trade The rail
roads OF the country were wrecked by
cut throat competition. They hauled
freight at less than the cost of transpor-
tation and they went from bad to worse
until most OF them went into receivers
hands BY and by the managers of these
roads agreed among themselves that the
sensible thing to do was TO pool, but Con
gress would not have il. Congress in
sisted that there must be competition,
ana then the railroads were driven into
consolidation.
But we believe that this consolidation
Will rae TO the public interest. The rail

est industries and ii is well for the pub
lie that they be prosperous. When they
are making money they spend money
freely They employ more men and pay
higher wages, and more than ALL they
give a quick and safe service. Rates are
somewhat higher but not enough TO make
any appreciate difference TO trade. Ira
ders desire uniform rate rather than a
ow. and cut rates always unsettle trade.
The railroads of the country are in better
condition than ever before, and their
prosperity is worth much to the country
al large,

which he asked for himself. Nobody ever
