Every citizen of Alabama who feels a
pride in the wonderful progress and pros
perity of the state in every branch Of
industry, will find food for grave refiec-
ton in the conditions now existing in the
state of Texas. where the railroads are
subjected to a practical application of the
extereme and radical ideas which Conner
and his Birmingham clique are endeavor-
ing to fasten upon the railroads Of Ala
Dama. Commenting upon the last annual
report of the Texas railroad commission,
the Railway Age of March %, under the
caption OF 1.-THE Rule and Ruin Texas
Commission" says:
Evidence extracted with difficulty from
the guarded admissions in the report of
the Texas railroad commission for the
year ended on June 30, 1903. just given
to the press, shows the runous effects OF
abuse of railway regulating and rate
making powers. A few years ago every
railway in Texas had been through bank
ruptcy or was still in the hands Of receiv-
ers, and few of them have yet been per-
mitted to earn the interest on their bonds.
while dividends for the stockholders are
still almost unknown in that state. The
continued poverty of Texas railways is
not due to lack OF traffic. 1t results from
the Improbable rates which an unjust
railway commission. clothed with extra
ordinary authority. has compelled the
railways to accept for their services. Ev-
cry year rate-redueing orders grow more
numerous. and yearly the railroad COM
mission felcitates itself and the people
over the millions of dollars which 1t has
saved by the expedient of taking them
from the pockets of the railways. A year
ago the railway managers united In petit
Of restoring a few of the forcibly reduced
rates, in view Of the alarming increase in
expenditures and decrease in net earn
ings which seemed inevitable. The re-
quest was refused. with broad intima-
ton that the petitioners were lying The
result of the years operation now gives
answer and rebukes, the commission. Bad
as have been the figures for preceding
years. those for 1903 are still more dis
couraging, as the following comparison
shows:
Year ending on June 1903, sixty-three
companies.

A WARNING AGAINST
Conner AND COMERISM

With less than s11,0ooOOo left of nearly
So5OO0,0OO gross earnings. the companies
are expected TO pay $1,31S0OO of taxes,
s13 900 annual interest on $237, 900, 600 of
bonds, over 100000 for permanent i'm
provements and good fraction of a
million for other needs Evidently the
little 100000 will not pay current obli-
cations amounting to $40 900, O00 to say
nothing of meeting old deficits. More
over, these aggregates and averages for
all the railways in the state disguise the
real situation. To most of the companies
the year was disastrous; many fell far
below earning the operating expenses.
The dividends actually paid would aver
age less than eight-tenths of 1 per cent
on the 1920 900 of capital stock of all
! the roads. Here Is the shocking finan-

Does the reaction come from the fact
that Mr. Conner paid to the railroad the
sl29.s6 and charged back" to the ship.
allowed the s129.s6?
Now If [ had the vivid imagination of
the News and other friends of Mr.. Conner
l might behold this great reaction" from
this thorough exposure but living away
down in Tallapoosa, please excuse my oh
tuseness in falling to catch on And [
want to say that since the thorough ex-
posure.e many openly avowed Conner adj
vocates here now say mo Conner in
mine"
But then they are poor benighted fell
lows. devoid of that BRILLIANT and
VIVID imagination required to enable
them TO see the reaction" depicted by
the News.
l desire to say that in former article
the printer made me say that had been
in business about five years, when l
wrote it fifty years. and l add that this
long business experience does not enable
me to see the difference in principles of
honesty between undertaking flour as Jim
Dandy neal and overbilling cotton as to
weight, which was charged against Capt.
Kolb in 1890 and 1892, which charge, il
my memory does not fail me was made
by one Mr.. Conner, whether of Jim
Dandy repute l do not know and will
not say And 1t further occurs TO me that
this cotton transaction was IS or 20 years
old, six or eight years older than the
Jim Dandy" affair. AS a punishment for
this cotton transaction Mr.. Kolb was
counted OUT Says the News by the
democracy, and as we are to have hon
est elections now would it not be in or
der to VOTE Mr.. Conner out in the pri-
mary on April Il?
Caesar I think, it was who said his
wife must not only be pure but above re-
proach. but that is obsolete. too old.
In conclusion | desire to say that |
have seen no expression from either John
V. Smith or Capt. Kolb, the other can
didates for president of the railroad COM
mission, indicating that they are oppos-
ing the adjustment of local freight rates
of Alabama in accordance with those OBJ
tanning in more favored states, etc
hence cannot see just reason why the
advocates of Mr.. Conner are making such
desperate efforts in his behalf, unless
they are blinded by having gotten Jim
! Dandy NEAL in their eyes or by the
pandering to the common prejudice so
prevalent in the minds of the masses
against all corporations fully indicated
by the News of the 25th, when they say.
"And further, whether the people shall
control the affairs Of the state or surren-
der 1t to the railroads, who have dominat-
ed and controlled them (the affairs or the
peopleD for the past twenty years. etc.
Now, Mr.. Rhodes, does rot this, after
cooling, appear just little desperate
when the facts are that the railroads
have during that time been fighting for
the right to control and manage THEIR
OWN AFFAIRS.
The News would strenuously object to
any one outside the management under
taking to control and dictate to them, es-
pecially when it tended toward reduc-
ing its revenues below point that would
not give fair and just return for the
labor and talent expended or on the cap
ital invested.

LILIES or HEALTH AND BEAUTY.

THE fact that I believe in the superior
force Of mind over matter does not blind

successful life is good health; that the key
stone to physical beauty is perfect physical
heath.
"a sick woman cannot be a beautiful
woman nor can she be anything but what
we English call poor pirited woman.

measured by her vitality-by her health.

knowledge is to get q good doctor book,
