lsailroad Building In Korea.

That the Japs are quite as effective
III an Industrial as In military way
Is shown by the rapid manner in which
they are pushing railroad construction
In Korea. A recent report from United
States Minister Allen states that south
Of Seoul there are 80 miles now com
pleted on either end out of the whole
26S miles, the whole to be completed
this year.
To the north the Seoul-Wiju railway
is also progressing very fast Blasting
goes on day and night in deep rock
cut near Seoul. This is expected to be
completed to Pingyang this year.
This will give a complete line from
Fusan, on the south. to Pingyang, on
the north, by the beginning of the new
year. That nation whose attention is
engrOssed in gigantic war can yet
find time to push the construction of a
railroad In such rapid and effective
manner Is little short Of marvellous.
Concerning the building of the south
Japan Daily Mail of Yokohama re-
Gently said:
We learn from the il u shimpo that the
total length Of this line Is 26S miles and
that II is divided nearly equally by Yong
dong which lies l3O miles south of Seoul
and l3S miles north Of Fusan. Work is be-
ing carried on vigorously from Yongdong
In both directions and from Fusan and
Seoul toward the north and south, respec-
lively, The whole will be finished. 1t is ex-
pected, by the end of this year. Already
construction trains are running from Fu-
san to Chhongdo. so miles. and from Seoul
TO Phyong thak, 30 miles A section of 3S
miles southwark from Phyongthak and Is
miles northward from Chhongdo will be
finished by June or July. making Isl miles
open in all. The portion not actually COM
menced. but only surveyed Is III miles.
There is a very difficult piece of tunnel
ing at Sanghyon In the thirteen mile sec
tion beyond Chhongdo. The tunnel is
$3.50 feet long and not more than one-h half
has been pierced. 1t cannot be finished
speedily. and the intention is to carry a
temporary line over the hill SO as not to
delay the opening of the service. Two
bridges of from l, 200 to 300 feet and one
or 1900 feet will have to be built.
The orient is truly awakening.
Korea, the dirty and sleepy corner Of
the far east, Is to be reclaimed. The
railroad Is the harbinger Of progress,
and where 1t has made its appearance
trade and civiIizat ton will certainly fol
low. New. lines are constantly being
built in China, and 1t is only question
or time when the swarms of dead hu.
manity in the yellow Kingdom will be
touched with "a new life. England Is
pushing into Tibet, and that land of
mystery and seclusion can no longer
hold back the tide of invasion from the
west.
The human race is one race, and the
whole earth must be claimed for ad-
vancement. What has happened to
Japan must happen to all Asia.

The Camera Scores Again.

The possibilities of photography, like
those Of electricity, seem endless. A
California artist has succeeded in pro-
ducing photograph thirtysix feet
long. Taken by itself this might be
considered mere freak to serve as a
nine days wonder. But experts give
assurance that 1t is only a question Of
time when photographs will be pro-
duced every day in the colors of nature.
Every year brings the color photo
graphs nearer to perfection. When this
is accomplished landscapes and the
countless marvellous scenes of beauty
and grandeur the world over can be
produced on scale commensurate
with their natural proportions.

Russia's Port Arthur Fleet.

Sanguinary spectators about the
Russian naval problem In the far east
have laid much stress on the fact that
with all the battering of Togo's guns
and torpedoes and the accidents that
befell them the Russians .came out with
couple Of battleships and twice as
many cruisers In good sailing as well
as good fighting trim and couple Of
battleships effective after damages
were patched up as floating batteries!
A warship Is not done for until dis
mantled or sunk. With what the brave
and Ill starred MakarOff left to his sue
cessors there still remained a schance to
do something not only heroic, but tell
ing on the naval situation. All the
world remembers what Cervera might
have done when he sailed out of San
tiago harbor to cover his name and
that Of his fleet with impesisilable re-
nown But glory was all that lay ahead
Of the Spaniards had they chosen to
run amuck with SIMPSONS feet in
stead of running away. The situation
could not have been changed. There
was no haven for lucky ship to run
to in case Of escape, no friendly feet
bearing down to succor the surviving
ships.
But not so with the Russian feet
either in Port Arthur or the opencsea.
Its partially disabled ships might 'laRd

from the Russian navy. And II all

In Darkest Russia.

To realize just how unjust and out
rageous governmental oppression In
Russia has become the following story,
taken from the New York Evening
Post, Is illustrative:
Not long ago a number OF students AZ
Lemberg sent an address expressing gym
pathy with the japanese In the present
war to Tokyo. The Russian police In
Warsaw declared that some Of tho sigma
lures were those Of Polish Jews and made
this the excuse for making domiciliary
visits, Issuing summonses against the sons
Of prominent families, opening private let
ters. ETC. Sometimes they experienced re-
sistance, which was magnified into story
of organized rebellion. There is abundant
testimony that the Socialists are making
rapid progress in Warsaw, az In other
parts Of the Russian empire and It ~ said
that the police are neglecting all their or
binary duties to keep watch over this parA
ticular danger. Public security In the
streets Is decreasing to the vanishing
point sI4atterly the lower orders nave
been arming themselves with long Knives
or daggers and the natural consequence
Is the multiplication of fatal assaults ana
robberies The criminal classes are prae-
tically free from supervision, the police
-devoting all their TIME and attens'oh 10
the Socialists and the students.
Whom the gods would destroy they
first make mad" Surely Russia Is go
ing to the verge Of madness In her
selling of English vessels and her
treatment Of her own subjects. Nobody
wants the nation destroyed, but the
majority of mankind would be pleased
to see the despotism smashed that op-
presses the Russian people,

Milking fby Electricity.

: A recent consular report from Ger
many tells of newly invented ap-
paratus for milking cows by eleotrici-
ty, in which rubber hoods are attach
ed to the udder Of the cow. These
hoods are connected with a vessel for
receiving the milk by means Of rub
ber tube, from which the air is exhaust
ed by means of the electrical device 1t
is claimed that the suction thus secur-
ed resembles very closely the sucking
of calf and that for this reason the
COW "lets down" her milk more freely
than when MIXED by hand. 1t is also
claimed that absolute cleanliness Of
the milk may be secured when this
method Of milking is employed.

NsToo Old"

Recently in two American cfnes two
aged men have committed suicide be-
cause they could not obtain employ
'lent. One of the cases Is reported
.rom New York. A man about seven
ty-two years old had applied TO the
night watchman at a lumber yard for
work and was told to call in the morn
ing. He sat down by pile OF lumber
where number Of men were gathered
ana appeared quite detected.
NO one wants an old man." be said.
AS the night wore on the others went
away. and the watchman in making his
rounds found the old man stretched ut
full length. breathing heavily He ap-
peared TO be in great pain, and his lips
We're burned.
The man was taken to Roosevelt hos
pital In an ambulance and O. ed three
hours later.
The other case occurred in Chicago.
Andrew Wermilen. fory-five years
old, could not obtain employment. $50
Der, industrious and first class me
chanical engineer" was his description
In his letters of Recommendation, but
all these qualities counted for nothing
with the men to whom he went seeking
employment. You are too oldy' they
told him. SO Andrew Wermilen COM
mitted suicide.
The Chicago Record Herald in COM
mentlng on the latter case well says:
We are apt to spend much breath from
time to time in denouncing the drones and
"spongers' on society-whether beggars
or idle rich-and often we use the very
practical argument that they consume
what they do not produce and that they
are consequently wasteful members of
society. what shall we say OF the waste
that Is involved when society itself can
find no place for competent men over
forty-five, who are thus driven either TO
destitution or to lower grades Of work or
to suicide? The blame rests on society.
which means on ourselves
Does man get "too old" to be denied
the treatment of common humanity +?
Are we civilized, or even half civilized,
when those who have grown aged In
service can appeal to us in vain? Are
not the soldiers of peace entitled to our
care and consideration as well as those
of war? Are those who fight to give
life less entitled to Kindness than those
who fight to kill? When men ask not
for charity, but only for chance to
earn, are we to turn from them be-
cause they have few white hairs? Is
there. not enough for all did not the
selfishness Of man rise up to murder
his brother?
There are the almshouses. we say.
True, but they are often overcrowded,
and some would rather, die than lose
their own self respect They do not
want to sponge, but to serve. They de-
sire to give an equivalent for what
they receive.
What shall we say Of society where
things like these can occur? Surely
1t needs more humanity and less<greed.

ence. Possibly 1t is we who dream
and she who touched reality.
Sometimes little things happen that
give us fleeting glimpses Of worlds and
worlds which are not visible from the
sense windows through which we look.
However that may be, this trust sus-
tanned soul through the long night of
trial. 1t was worth while il only for
that-worth while even though the boy
had never returned.
We all need more of the faith and
hope that are born of love. We need
them in our everyday life. We need
them to help us do our work. We need
them to tighten our burden.
Without faith and the hope that is
born of it life would be a treadmill,
an uncomfortable round of effort that
promised no result ..
But with faith-boundless faith-in
the final triumph of good, faith that
our own will come to us, faith that our
labors will bring us blessing faith that
the seed we SOW will bear golden
harvest, faith that brighter way is
before US II we toll on to reach it-with
such a faith life grows beautiful, and
from out of the heart forever bubbles
a song.
But with faith-boundless faith-in
love, and, like the bereaved mother,
you can bear whatever comes to you.
And who knows, after all, but that
some time, some place, the very pres
ence of your faith may bring its own
fulfilIment?
Men have made themselves poets,
teachers, philosophers and rulers by
faith. Have faith in yourself If moth
ing else, for that has conquered armies
1t was Napoleons faith in his own
destiny that made him invincible.
Faith is like dynamo of energy
within you 1t carries you over the
hard places and keeps you going till
you accomplish results.
Faith, confidence, holds the business
world together. You cannot have too
much Of 1t, for it is the malnstay of the
SOUL

TO APPEAL TO
RAILROAD COMMISSION.
NaIdosta Board of Trade Charges
Discrimination by RaiIroads.

Discrimination by Railroads.
valdosta, Jan. 23.-The Board Of
Trade discussed last night the appar-
ent discrimination against Valdosta by
the railroads. The cause Of complaint
was the charges that are often made
on shipments from here. The board
unanimously agreed to ask the rail-
roads for rates and tariff sheets from
Valodsta TO all of the stations within
its territory. The matter of depot ac-
commodation was discussed at length.
Several merchants testified that the
depots are inadequate for the business
of the lines and that, as a result of
poor accommodations. shipments are
frequently delayed three and four
days. 1t was stated by one
wholesale man that his dray-
men were forced to do work
at the depots which the railroad hands
should do, causing unnecessary delay.
The complaints were so universal that
the Board Of Trade decided TO appeal
direct 10 the Railroad Commission for
relief. Though the city's business is
ten times what it was ten years ago.
the facilities for handling it by the
railroads is little, if any better, than
then.
Advertising the resources and adj
Vantages of this section of the state
throughout the West and North with
a view to drawing a good class of i'm
migrants was also discussed. The
board decided TO raise 81 600 or as
much as possible, with which to have
$4,000 attractive booklets, giving the
resources of this county and section,
to be distributed throughout the West
and North.

HAND IN HAND.

From the Cleveland (O.) Leader.
The universal respect shown in the
South for the memory of the late Gen.
John 3. Gordon-the large attendance
at his funeral, the suspension of work
at various places during the hour set
for his burial, and the evidences of
mourning seen eYerywhere-is only an
other indication of the genuine love
that is felt for the heroes of the Lost
Cause in that section OF the country.
There has never been any question
concerning the loyalty of the Southern
people TO the men who wore the gray
and who fought for the principles that
were repudiated at Appomattox, and
that should really be set down to the
credit of the men and women of the
Southland.
But while they are mourning over
the bodies of their fallen heroes, the
people of the South should not forget
that the leaders of the Lost Cause, as
a rule, were willing to accept the re-
suits of the war-to forget the issues
which brought on the struggle. and la
Dor for the advancement of a reunited
country.
Nobody in the North has any right
to object because homage is paid to the
former leaders of the ConfederaCy, but
everybody has the right to demand,
since the war is over and the states
formerly in revolt have been taken
back into the Union and have been
fully forgiven, that the people of the
South as well as those of the North,
shall prove their absolute loyalty to the
country and it's government. The time
has come when there should be no
more sections. The raDid advance of
the South, industrially and agricultur-
ally. within recent years has given 1t a
vital interest in everything which per-
tains to the welfare of the whole coun-
try. From this time the North and
the South should go forward hand in
hand, forgetting politics as much as
possible, and striving for what is de-
signed to make all the people prosper
Gus and contented. In that way sec
tionalism will be wiped out, and a feel
ing of fraternity promoted.
