Caldwell 6 Wards Christmas Letter

Birmingham, December 26.-As all the i exchanges are closed today, we take the i liberty of furnishing some reflections in- | stead of quotations.
 1 Some of us feel that we are not as rich ! as we were last Christmas. Well, we can't expect to go forever getting rich with never a setback. We've had one year of i lean to three of fat. That isn't so very bad when you average it up Some of us. no doubt, have been set back pretty hard. All the more reason why we should re- solve not to let our losses influence our judgment. Mistakes are valuable as ex- perience. Let us not despise our mistakes. We recall with admiration the advice of d shrewd old trader who used to say to us: "Go not to Beersheba to get back what you lost in Dan. May your losses pay for themselves. You know lot more about a stock after you've been licked in it. Stick to it, then" That seems to be sound reasoning
 There has been great shrinkage of pa- per wealth. The trouble was too many of us tried to convert our paper riches into money all at the same time There's just as much money as ever-more. A lot of us only feel that we are not as rich as we were. We are in big company when we feel that way. Our Morgans and Schwabs and Goulds and Harrimans and even our Rockefellers all have the same feeling Their paper riches were no more tangible than our own. Do they sit and cry over that which has vanished? Not they. Then shall we? If everybody were right all the time it would be no use If we all thought alike about stocks there could be no market. Did you ever think of that? The lean years are fat with pportunities-opportunit mostly cre- ated by the mistakes of others We are responsible only for our own mistakes, and are at liberty, therefore to profit by those of others, even as others may have prohted by ours.
 We are expecting things to look up It it wasn't Christmas we would tell you what we base our expectations on, but that would be busness-we shall take an- other time for that.

LOCAL MARKETS.

The usual quiet following the holiday period prevails in the Birmingham mar kets. Cotton continues interesting but prices are holding fairly steady.
 A number of changes in the list of stocks and bonds Is noted. The market is about steady. however. as the securi- ties marked up are neutralized by those marked down.
 Fruit and produce reports show the situation to be very quiet after a rush to supply Christmas orders. very heavy business was done along Morris avenue. and fancy lines were especially active.
 Local staple groceries are rather quiet and the tone of the market is very steady. No lines show interesting fea- lures.

How America Treated Spain.


 When Spain sued for terms, America paid her twenty millions of dollars for what had already fallen by force of arms and transported her soldiers back to Spain. After pouring out blood and treasure in Cuba, and the same thing would have followed if a hundred times more blood and treasure had been re- quired, America, with helping hand Qand a hearty God speed, gave Cuba her independence. If any international cal amty occurs. the world expects to see the first relief ships and the deepest laden relief ships sail forth from Ameri- can harbors.
 "America's protest in behalf of the op- pressed in Roumania and the massa cred in Russia has great significance for the world as showing the way the wind Is blowing. Armenian massacres, Mace donian massacres, shall not always blot the chart of civilization. America, rising in world greatness, will forge new para graphs into the laws of nations. Pro- testing in the name of humanity. and re- minded in terms of old laws that it is none of her business, that she has no interests. America will reply that she claims interests wherever any section of the human race is made to suffer wrongly and unjustly.
 To-day, without claiming any especial privileges, America proclaims the Mon roe doctrine as effective throughout South America. She should proceed at once to extend this doctrine in it's fun damental principle till it covers the help less Chinese, and then before many de- cades shall pass, she should extend the principle until it covers the world.
 America Worlds Peace Keeper.
 Further being the one great peace nation America should progressively as- sume the duties of keeper of the worlds peace. After preventing the further ex- tensions of military systems, then in stonnjno war America will take away from militarism the spells of war, the foods that feed it, and with the contin- uance of justice and peace. militarism could not compete with industrialism, so thai economic conditions would force dis armament.

 Dear Sir: 1 have the honor to re- quest that upon the converting of con gress in regular session, you introduce fby request" the enclosed bill, providing for the consecutive increase in the yes sels of the United States navy.
 "The question of proportionate increase in auxiliary material and in personnel is left for additional legislation.
 "The provision leaving the determine ton of the types of vessels, the number of each type, and the characteristics of each vessel, to the President under pro- fessional and technical advice, is intend- ed to insure homogeneous fleets and up to date vessels.

TRANSPORTATION Cn..n.

10 you know that you can have 2,e67
pounds or freight transported one mile
for cent? The statement sounds like
bit Of fiction. but it Is as true as iia,
ures that don't lie can make any
statement. AS We have more railways
and more freight and the ingenuity OF
inventors and wisdom OF financicrs are
working together, the cost of trims.
portation is being gradually and no
less surely decreased.
A dozen years ago the railways of
this country carried annually $4,000,
coo,oo0 tons OF freight one mile and
charged nine-tenths OF a cent per ton
Tor the service. In 1900-for which we
nave authentic figures-the increased
quantity OF goods and merchandise
has brought the figures ND to 10000.
100000 tons one mile and the CHARGE
Tor that service down to seven and
one-half tenths OF cent for each ton.

Value OF Sunday Rest.

An important contribution to scien.
tile data bearing on the necessity of
Sunday rest from labor has been made
by Pennsylvania railroad official. He
selected two groups OF laborers from
the working force of certain freight.
house controlled by his road. He
measured the working capacity OF each
group in terms OF tons handled daily
tor week. On Sunday one group
rested; the other worked as usual. On
the following Monday the men who
had been continuously Mt service
showed decrease of 10 per cent In
efficiency as compared with the pre-
Vious Monday. and each day after their
comparative delinquency became great

several gentlemen accompanied him.
The party made a tour OF the White

On an August afternoon they stopped,

bought several quarts OF milk. This

they bought more milk. Even then
