CAMPAIGNING BY TRAIN.

Lindsay Dennison in Everybody's Maga-
 The cost of campaigning by special train Is not small. A completely comfort able campaign train must have a private car for the use of the man who is doing the brunt of the work and his secretaries and assistant speakers. Then there must be another car for the reporters of the press association, the reporter of the particular newspapers of the states through which the train is passing, and for the campaign committees of the state. There must be a dining car. Man may live by timed goods alone for a day or two, but a buffet car trip of more than two days is simply murderous. The Pull man company charges from $50 to $50 a day for the use of its cars Most railroads will attach a special car to a regular train provided seventeen full fares are paid most railroads charge a dollar mile for running a special train The commissary department costs $50, more or less day. Speakers who are not can didates receive from $25 to s10O day for their services. Frequently the entire com- pany of passengers goes to a hotel in city where there is an overnight stop; in some cases the national committee pays the landlord. at other times the bills are paid by the state or the city com mittee But 1t is perfectly clear that whatever else campaigning by special train may accomplish, 1t keeps money

Smoklnu Car Stories.

"I dare say thatNthe smoking compart- ment of railway coach Is the greatest incubator for stories, if I may be allowed the term, that has ever existed" said a travelling man last night We hear much of the after dinner story but few of this variety can compare with the raciness and in quantity with the stories that one hears in smoking car. Some how all the convivlal and jovial spirits on train seem to drift to the smoker where they immediately fall into convcr- sation. l have been riding on trains for ten years and have yet to see a smoker full of men who did not sooner or later get to talking and relating experiences
 "The atmosphere of a smoker generates stories. The fact that a man is before strangers always prompts him to put his best foot forward, with the result that some rare anecdotes are related While it is true that all the tales reported to be heard in smoking cars from the lips of travelling men are not bona fide travellers stories some of the most entertaining takers have ever met were encountered in smoking cars and the stories they tell are well worth hearing ranging, as they do. from the humorous to the pathetic, from sublimity to vufgarity."

do not diversity our agriculture? Is it
 because our granaries and meat houses are located to considerable extent in the northwest? Is it the re- suit of all-cotton farming? Are there defects in our soil and climate that forbid the accumulation of wealth Or is the fault in the people them selves?
 Mississippi, for example, buys a large proportion of her supplies in the northwest; she is welded to all-eotton farming, and she has no soil superior to our Black Belt, and yet she out ranks us in bank deposits.
 It is best to look the facts in the face, and to ascertain, if possible, their philosophy and meaning. If anyone can explain why Mississippi's banks should hold twenty-nine millions and our banks but nineteen millions, they should rise and explain the situation. Or why Georgia has forty-three mil lions in bank and we have less than a half or that handsome aggregate.

The People MystlfIed,

"A military funeral is a rare occurrence in Birmingham and l observed that when the caisson bearing Father OReilly's body passed along the streets today a great many people did not remove their hats" said a citizen. Nearly everybody expected to see a hearse and did not re- alize that the cortege was passing until too late to show the proper reverence, even overheard a woman ask why that flag was piled up on the wagonT
 However, 1t was easy to pick out the men who had seen service in the army and the old veterans of the civil war, for those instlnctively took off their hats and placed them on their left shoulders in an attitude. of attention''

Taegars Is All Right.

From the Richmond 1imes-Dispatch
 Chairman Taggart of the national dem- ocratic committee talks like a man of sense. of courage and of discretion. He says that 1t will be hard campaign, and that 1t is no chllds play to defeat the republican party, which .s now in con trol, but at the same time he Is conf1- dent of a democratic victory T am also confident" says he, that practically every der1ocrat in the country will stand shoulder to shoulder with me in this struggle"
 It Is never good warfare to underesu- mate the strength of the enemy, but 1t greatly conduces to success for the lead CT to go into the war with confidence in himself and in his men, and above all with confidence in the righteousness of his cause. Chairman Taggart is all right. All that is now needed Is for democrats to be as loyal to him as he is to them. If each and every democrat In the Uni ted States will come up to his aid and assist him in his campaign and go to the polls on election day and vote in spite of their strength, the republicans will Le overthrown and the democrats will win a glorious victory.

Father O'ReiIIy's Grave.

When we build homes for the vet erans of the civil war 1t is not grati- tude alone that inspires us. We have in mind more wars in which the eoun- try will be sore-pressed for defenders, and we desire all to know that if they go to war, we will care for them to the end of their days.
 So we should erect over Father o'Riellys grave memorial that will induce young men to war against sin with, if possible, all the unselfishness and devotion that characterized every day of the dead priests active life. We want something that will lead all to live for their fellow men as he did, with patience, and consideration, and faith, without any trace of self-seeklng add to the honors of the devoted pas tor who has gone to his reward, but we can commend his example to children and young men, and this is why we should raise over his grave on the hill a granite shaft that all can see. True, the great hospital near at hand is one of his memorials, but the pass er-by will not always recognize it as such, and a shaft is needed to remind him of the great heart that never tired of acts of kindness.
 Let us place over his grave shaft not unlike the Milner shaft at Oak Hill, a shaft that stands out from a background of green to remind us of one of the founders of this city. A similar memorial is needed to keep green the grave of the man who never let an appeal for help go unheeded. It is not pride or cost of burial that is needed, but something to keep us all from forgetting the heroic life that SdNc tNSly ChSiS SJ tC 'iAC tocoo oi AiS fellows-something that will teach young men that an altruistic life is after all the best life-something that will put faithful service above self seeking, unquestioning faith above criticism, and single-hearted love ohova n1easure and nersonal conSidera- tions. Let us then erect shaft over the grave of tGe man who gave every active hour to his fellow men, writing on 1t a few words to show how wisely and generously he lived-how he toiled, not for himself, but for the orphan, the man stricken by accident or disease, or the soul wandering in the mazes and distractions of this world.
