DEMOCRATS SUPPORT ROOSEVELT.
House Leader Of Minority Promises Votes
For Railway Legislation.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 26.-The agri.
cultural appropriation bill was con.
stdered in the house today, but the
debate turned principally upon the
topic of restricting railroads in the
matter of freight rates, the Hepburn
bill forming the basis Of discussion.
Mr.. Williams Miss. said that the
democratic party was committed to
views such as were expressed by the
president in his message to congress.
As spokesman for his party on the
floor, Mr.. Williams said that the dem.
ocratic party was committed without
addition or subtr action to the recon-
mend atious Of President Roosevelt in
his recent message. The democrats,
he said, were glad to have the presi.
dents view, "because it was demo-
cratic doctrine and ought to be Amer.
ican doctrine
"We will toe the mark of the presi-
dents tracks on this SUBJECT de.
clared Mr.. Williams amid general ap.
plause.
"Aud," he added, facing the repub-
lican side, "we call on you as Ameri.
can citizens to help us toe.mark
them"
Mr.. Bell Cal. J, made a vigorous
speech in favor of railroad rate re.
vision. Mr.. Bell expressed the hope
that Mr.. Hepburn, when he came to
explain the bill, would prove tha,
there was nothing sinister in its Ian
guage. AT present, however, he as
serted, the bill was SO worded as to
what should constitute Il reasonable
rate, that it was susceptible of 9
double meaning. Every hint of vague
ness and indetiniteness, he commended
ought to be removed: He defended
the interstate commerce commi ssion
which, he said, had been held up to
public scorn and ridicule.

After three months ofquiet, the Japan.
ese have resumed activity, attempting
to force back the Russian right wing.
A stubborn fight began Jan. 25, and

curtain raiser for the spring cam
paign. According to reports, the

getically pressed that village within
the former Japanese lines of some
strength was taken. 1t is rumored
that several Japanese guns were tax.
en-.
There was no fighting at the center
or on the left flank. The Japanese
advance is believed to have been in.
spired In part by the news of the Rus.
sian internal troubles, intelligence OF
which reached the Russian army a,
dawn Jan. %.
Following sudden return of winter
weather, cannon began bombardine
far westward, aud through the morn
ing fog and mist the Japanese unex'
pectedly advanced. The ritlemen or
the Russian right flank were SO vigor
ously employed in the fighting line
that by evening they had met the Jap
anese attack by brilliant counter
attack. The Japanese at once begar
to retire, abandoning and setting fir,
to the village.

1NcIDENCEs OF LIFE.

About thirty years ago my wife's
health was not good and we thought
to spend the summer west. In our
buggy we left in the spring we left
to evangelize. The second day
out che asked me how much mon
ey / had I replied about 81 SO.
She said, stop and go back; the
idea of 9 elk months trip and only
$3.50. II said, "Belle, we are
going to work for the Lord and He
will care for our temporal wants. !"
That Quoted her measurably, so
we went on to Mineola and stop
ped for dinner. l laid my dress
coat on the bed, wearing my dus-
ter After dinner the lady of the
house was showing my wife new
quilt she was making and spread
it on the bed. covering up my coat.
We left. and and in the evening
I want it, and said, "there now,
my coat is on that bed in Mineola."
There was CONSERVATION again. /
said, "it's all for the best some
way" She said. II don't see how"
I said, Il don't either, but it is"
So the fist house house we stop
ped, and was treated kindly. The
man of the house said: "This is
Thursday and next Saturday is our
meeting day, be easy; stay and
preach for us and will have your
coat by the time you need IT," and
so he did. We had a grand time
Saturday and Sunday. and Mon
day as we left he gave US a nice
purse-many times more than we
had started with. 1T said, "now,
wife, that coet caused this" She
said. ''the coat had nothing to do
with it," but it had much to do.
From that time on during trip of
six months I never had great sue.
cess as a minister than we had. l
say we. for my wife was my coun-
celor all the time. On our return
home we had more than hundred
more money than we started with,
and the satisfaction of knowing
that many souls had been saved.
At every point we had been fully
compensated, and the Lord had
worked wonders among the peo-
pie. Things occurred at Brandon,
Hill county, Of which I must write
in the future, but must say that
the coat had full share of atten.
ton after every meeting as prov
idence. / heard but one sermon
during the six months we were out,
I doing all the preaching. l look
back to that time as one of the
bright spots in a ministry of more
than fifty years. 1t was all OF
Gods goodness and mercy. More
about Brandon in the future.

merely therein the supply OF gas and
water, but also the entire railroad
system. Would the state by taking
into possession these public utilities
lose its republican form Of govern
ment?
I'VE may go even step further.
There are some insisting that the state
shall become the owner of all proper
ty and the manager Of all business.
OF course this is an extreme view, but
its advocates are earnestly contend
ing that thereby the best interests Of
ali citizens will be subserved. If this
change should be made in any state,
how much would that state contribute
to the revenue of the nation? II this
extreme action is not to be counted
among the probabilities, consider the
result of one much less so. Suppose
a state assumes under its police power
the control OF all those matters sub
iect to the internal revenue tax and
also engages in the business OF I'M
porting all foreign goods. The same
argument, which would exempt the
sale by a state of liquor, tobacco, etc.,
from a license tax, would exempt the
Importation Of merchandise by a
state from import duty. While the
state might not prohibit importations,
as it can the sale of liquor, by private
individuals, yet paying no import duty
it could undersell all individuals and
so monopolize the importation and
sale of foreign goods.
"Obviously, if the power OF the
state is carried to the extent suggest
ed and at the same time relieved from
all federal taxation, the national gov
ernment would be largly crippled in
its revenues. Indeed, if all the states
should concur in exercising their
powers to the full extent it would be
almost impossible for the nation to
collect any revenues. In otheri words
in this indirect way it would be with
in the competency Of the states to
practically destroy the efficiency Of
the national government
