The Sons of the Revolution; and the
 Sons of the American Revolution.

At the D. A R. State Conference held in Mobile, Dec. 67, 1904, a motion was made that each member should pledge herself to induce the male members of her family to join the pa triotic societies known as the Sons of the Revolution and the Sons of the American Revolution. In the discus sion which followed it was brought out that the difference in the two societies was not very well understood by the D. A. R and that 1t would be well to gain information concerning the aims and purposes of the two organizations It was we'll known that generally their objects were patriotic and there fore laudable, but each daughter felt 1t would be well to be armed with an argument of concise and definite information in approaching the for midable male relative in case he de- manded logic" in her plea.
 Through tho kindness of Dr. T. M owen, of Montgomery. the Secretary Treasurer and Historian of the society of the Sons of the Revolution in the State of Alabama we have been fur nished with extracts from the consti- tuition of each society and each D. A. R. will be able to judge for herself of the aims of the two institutions

the Sons of the Revolution in tho State of Alabama was instituted in Birmingham April 16, 1894. As you know the growth of an organization of this kind is necessarily slow. During this period we have enrolled fifty-four members. two of whom are now de- ceased. Our annual meeting was held the evening of the 18th inst. During the preceding twelve months we ad- mitted eight new members. The prin- cipal work of the year. however. has been the erection and placing of a tab- let to mark the site of the house in which Gen. Lafayette was entertained while in Montgomery April 3-4, 1895. I send a list of our officers for 1s05-6. It is confidently expected that to our roll will be added at least twenty-five members during the coming year. We have on hand several activities of a patriotic, historical and educational character. The Alabama Society will welcome to it's ranks any worthy lin- cal descendants of the heroes of "76."
 At the meeting held by the Sons of the Revolution the evening of the 18th inst. celebrating the birthday of Thom- as Jefferson, a resolution was pass sd commenting the suggestion of the Board of Managers that the Society contribute aid to the project If crec- ting a monument at Fort Stoddert, and the Board was instructed to take ~teps that would look to the accomplishment of this task.

It being evident from a steady de- cline of a proper celebration of the
 National holidays of the United States
 of America, that popular concern in the events and men of the war of the Re- volution is gradually declining, and that such lack of interest is attributable, not so much to the lapse of time and the rapidly increasing flood of immigration from foreign countries, as to the neglect on the part of descendants of Revolution ary heroes to perform their duty in keeping before the public mind the
 memory of the services of their an
 cestors and of the time in which they | lived therefore, the society of the 1 Sons of the Revolution has been insti- tuted to perpetuate the memory of the men, who, in the military, naval and | civil service of the Colonies and of the Con tinental Congress, by their acts of counsel achieved the independence of 1 the country, and to further the proper | celebration of the anniversaries of the birthday of Washington, and cf prominent events connected with the
 war of the Revolution; to collect and
 secure for preservation the rools, rec I ords and other documents relating to
 that period; to inspire the members oI
 the Society with the patriotic spirit of
 their forefathers! and to promote the | feeling of friendship among them.

Right of Review.

Any party affected by such order shall
be entitled to institute a proceeding to re-
view such order in the circuit court of the
United States for any district through
which the line of the carrier may extend:
and IL the court shall find that the rate
fare or charge established by such carrier
was not unreasonable or unjustiy discrim-
inatory or otherwise unlawful it shall enter
a decree setting aside such order; but If
the court shall find that such order of the
commission mobiles the rate fare or
charge established by the carrier either
more or less than was necessary in order
to remove the unreasonableness or unjust
discrimination or other unlawfulness there
of. then the court. by its decree. may direct
the commission to modify and correct its
order accordingly.
This statement sets FORTH in brief, the
salient points of what will be known as
the Elkins bill.
Senator Foraker today introduced his bill
which has been published in The Star, and
il will shortly be available to members of
Congress.
Senator Dolliver is generally understood
to favor a bill practically the same as that
prepared by the interstate commerce COM
mission. That bill places more absolute
power in the hands of the commission than
any other measure that is likely to come
before Congress at the present session.
