theme. He invited strife and got it. Still
his argument had merit. He said, in eff

Two Great Railroad Presidents.

Wo Great Railroad FiSS'eSe9'
It is not often that two such noted rail-
road presidents as Samuel Spencer OF the
Southern, the Alabama Great Southern
and the Mobile and Ohio, and Milton IL.
Smith of the Louisville and Nashville are
in Birmingham at the same time. In fact
1T has been about four years since MT
Spencer and Mr.. Smith last met here II
was in 1899, when they held conference
in Mr.. Spencer's car and concluded nego-
tiatlons for the joint purchase Of the Biz
mingham Southern from the Tennessee
Coal. Iron and Railroad company
Mr.. Smith visits this district frequently,
but Mr.. Spencers duties keep him in
New York most of the time. The latter,
however, keeps himself thoroughly in
formed about Birmingham and he knows
every detail of the Southern's and the
Alabama Great Southerns physical condi-
ton and traffic business here.
Mr.. Smith and Mr. Spencer are about
the same age. They have been a long time
in railroad harness, and are, therefore,
not young in years; but they are men
who will not grow old as far as appear
ance goes, and better still as far as ability
TO perform hard work goes. Trainmen and
yardmasters and dispatchers, and freight
and passenger agents, and all other rail-
road men are busy from one years end to
the other, but 1t may be doubted If any
official or employe in any department puts
in more hours of toll than Mr.. Spencer and
Mr.. Smith. They get big pay, but they
earn 1t. Both of these two great presi-
dents are recognized throughout the rail-
road world as officials of exceptional
brains and judgment. Certain 1t is few
men have done such far-reaching work in
bringing the south forward as Mr.. Smith
and Mr.. Spencer.

CHRISTIAN HEALER DIES
AFTER LONG TREATMENT.

NNRANGE' N. J., March a.-After re-
W. ceiving treatment at the hands
of three Christian Science heal
ers, whose illustrations followed her
own efforts to cure herself by the same
method, Miss Helen A. Smith, a promi-
nent Christian Scientist, died on Satur-
day at her home, No. 20 milford street,
East Orange from Bright's disease, with
which she had suffered for a long time.
After her death one of the healers said:
"She did not have the right under
standing or she would have been able to
overcome the error"
Mrs. Irene Alphonse, the woman's
cousin, with whom she lived, did not
take kindly to the Christian Science
treatment, and tried to induce the heal
ers to get a physician. This was done
at the last moment but the patient re-
fused to be treated by him.
Miss Smith, who was 65 years old, was
a college graduate and for fifteen years
was a school teacher. She gave that
up sixteen years ago to devote herself
to Cristian Science, and became in due
time a healer. She lived for some time
at the christian science headquarters III
Orange, and was secretary of the local
church organization.
Last November Miss Smiths Illness be-
came acute, and despite the efforts of
Mrs. Alphonse to induce her to call in a
physician, she tried to cure herself by
Christian Science treatment When she
grew worse she called in Miss Nemi
Robertson and Darlington Hening, two
readers of the Orange Christian Science
church. In spite of the combined efforts
of the three Miss Smith grew worse. Then
she called in Miss Tournier, the head
reader.
Despite the fact that she sank lower

weekly testimonial meeting of her church.
Here she fell into state of coma and
had to be removed to her home.
On the following day Miss Tournier
called again. and after she had gone Miss
Smith told Mrs Alphonse that the healer
had advised calling in regular physi-
clan. Miss Smith said that Mrs Alphonse
might call a physician, but declared that
she would not take his prescriptions.
Later in the day Miss Robertson and
Hening called, and after treating the sick
woman told Mrs. Alphonse that if it
would be any comfort to her to get
doctor she was at liberty to do so.
As dropsy bad then set it, and Miss
Smith was partly in a state of coma Mrs.
Alphonse called Dr. Charles A. Groves.
Miss Smith submitted patiently to his ex-
animation, and then turned her face to-
ward the wall, saying she would not take
his treatment. He assured her that he
could relieve her if she would follow his
directions, but she said that her only hope
lay in Christian Science.

ROOSEVELT AND THE NEGRO.


From the New Orleans Picayune.
The President can scarcely be ignorant
of the excitement and sensation which he
has aroused among the negroes through
out the United States. He stands not so
much as the champion of their political
rights, as of their social claims, heir
claims to be recognized everywhere as
social equals. President Roosevelt may
say as much as he will that he is not in
favor of social equality With negroes,
and he may think he is in earnest when
he says so, but the fact remains that he
has performed the acts by which he has
accepted such equality. He has entertain
ed negro at dinner in the White House.
He has entertained at his public social
receptions negro women in evening dress.
who were not officials or employees of the
government, and who could be present in
no official capacity, but only as social
visitors, the social equals of the white
callers.
The President may believe that In CIV
ing negroes this sort of recognition In the
White House no social Specification should
be attributed to it; but if he so believes,
he is the only person white or black who
believes with him. The negroes themselves
are confident that the President meant
to give them social recognition. and that
not only did he mean it, but that he
actually did give 1t TO them. Now. II Is
only a matter of choice as to which negro
is to be the Presidents next guest at
ceptions are now and henceforth consid-
cred open to the negroes OF washington
and the United States.
This Is what the negroes believe, and 1t
is what the white people believe ana IL
is this belief. so generally difused among
the people of the United States, that has
caused the outcry against President,
Roosevelt.
From the Mobile Register
The question is not of "all men up or
some men down." but of the proper con-
duct of the public service. The offices of
the federal government should not be
used for the propaganda of a political
policy, but for the good of the service;
and it is plainly not for the good of the
service TO place the execution of the laws
and functions of government in the hands
of men who would not by any possibility
be selected by the people they are to
serve.
