DON'T BE A KNOCKER.

The following from the Suga
City Times contains advice that i
sound and wholesome, and if NOR,
generally carried out would b,
productive of much good:
Ii your neighbor is prosperous
let him prosper. Don't grunt
growl, or grumble. Say a good
word for him and let it go at that
Don't be knocker. Your turn will
come. No man is the whole show
Ii you see the town is moving along
nicely, feel good about it. Help it
along. Shove a little. Push. Trv
and get some of the benefit yourself.
Don't stand around like a chilly
old cadaver. Don't waste your time
feeling sore because some fellow has
little more sand and sense than
you have. Do a little hustling
yourself. Don't be knocker.
Ii you can say good word, say
1T like prince. If you are full of
bile and disposed to say something
mean, keep your mouth shut.
Don't be a knocker. No man ever
made dollar knocking. No man
ever got rich minding everybody's
business but his own. No man
ever helped himself up permanently
by knocking his neighbor down.
Give up kind word. Give it lib
orally. 1t won't cost you cent and
you may want one yourself some
day. You may have thousands to-
day and next year be without the
price of shave. So don't be a
Snocker. You can't afford it. 1t
Won't pay. There's nothing in it.
# you want to throw something at
somebody, throw cologne, or roses;
lon't throw brickbats, or mud.
DON'T be knocker. If you must
lick, go around behind a barn and /
AXE a good kick at yourself. For
you feel that way, you're the man
hat needs kicking. But whatever
on do, don't be knocker.
If there is chance to boom
usiness, boom it. Don't be a
nocker. Don't pull long face o
-ope a bit. Get smile on you. d
old up your head. Get a hold =
it'll both hands. Then pull. Bury
'ur Ratchet. Drop your toma-

lime TABLE No. 9. SEPT. A. ion,
The Montgomery advertiser., 1905-02-17

The Indianapolis Morning Star rushes to the defense of the President In this style:
 Who are these precious statesmen of the Senate who undertake to lecture amend arbitration treaties for the sole and avowed purpose of insuring that every arbitrament shall first get from them a certificate of good character?
 Those of them that are not in jail or under indictment are for the most part a bunch of money-bags or corpor- ation lawyers. A nice crowd Is this to set up for the only trustworthy censor and custodian of international morals and good taste?
 The Senate is afraid of it's dignity at the hands of the President or the House on the people. Not from these sources, but from its own venality and senility Is its dignity in danger. Some of these fine days the people will gather up the spoiled and vain old Senate, with all it's fuss and feathers. follies and felo- ntes, and bundle 1t out of the window.
 Only a few of our Republican con- temporaries have tried to defend Roose- velt's bald-faced attempt to set aside the treaty-making branch of the Gov ernment, and constitute himself the sole judge and arbiter in all dealings with other countries. but we have found none that was so bitter as to go the length of The Star in lauding the Pres ident and villifying the Senate. Some of them really descend to shameful abuse of that body. and they do it largely because they can find no real valid argument to use in defending the Presidents acts and attempted usurpa- tions.
 It is well for the Government and Congress that the Republican Senators were able to set aside their partisan feelings and take a dignihed stand for their constitutional rights and prlvi- leges. We have had few Presidents in whose hands such almost unlimited powers as he claims would be less dan gerous than in his He lacks the expe- rience, the well-balanced Judgment and the knowledge of international law that would make him safe man to entrust the destinies of the Government and the country to without some means of checking his extraordinary methods. It Is we'll that the Senate administered a needed lesson to him, and his friends had better devote their time and tal- ents to advising and checking him in his wild career than in abusing Sena- tors who were clearly in the right. Such defence as that of The Star is no credit to the President or the news paper.

SOME LEGAL POINTS.

There is a chance for the introduc- ton of some nice points of law, and the promulgatfon of some learned and luminous opinions over in London. ac- cording to a resent statement It seems that there is some kind of law or reg ulation against attaching advertising matter of any kind 10 kites. balloons or other aerial apparatus. It seems further that the offense Is punishable in the borough in which the violation of law occurs.
 Now. the question to be settled is: if the advertising Kite which Is sent up in one borough is carried by the wind across the line and hangs over an ad- joining borough, in which Is the ofrense committed? Is 1t in the one where the string is tied or held, or in the one over which 1t floats? We have all heard of the controversy over the own ership of peach or other fruit, which falls on one mans land from a tree growing on the land of another. If the tree bough extends across the line ana ovsrhsnss the lana of another. does

One of the most palpable falsehoods recently put out is contained in an or der by the Standard oil Company in closing its work in the Kansas oil fields. The Legislature of Kansas is about to enact a law establishing a State oil refinery whereupon the Stand ard gave orders for stopping all works in the State in order to embarrass the owners of oil wells. In the order it Is said 'on account of the present agita- tlon fin regard to our business in Kan sas our credit is being injured and we are unable to secure loans which are necessary for our company to get in order to carry out the work we have contemplated in taking care of the oil produced by building tanks and pipe lines, and we will have to stop all of the work" The idea of anything in- turing the credit of the Standard Oil Company in financial circles is too ridic- ulous for any sensible person to enter tain for a moment.

rHE rRIvATE cAn sYsrras.

The full extent of what is called the private car system of transportation is shown by an article in The Arena, written by Mir. W. G. Joerns. The facts given are based on those devel- oped by testimony before the Inter- state Commerce Commission, and are somewhat surprising. The article shows that there are nearly 300 private car lines in this country and they own and operate over the various railroads approximately 12O.OoO cars. Most of the lines are small and constitute, separate ly considered, no great part of the pri- vate car evil. In the aggregate, how ever, they count for a good deal.
 The real condition which causes the troubles of independent shippers re- suits from the big private-car systems which control tho livestock, refrigera- tor and oi1-tank cars and are so power full as to dictate terms to the railroad companies. For instance, the Armour Company operates about 12.0o0 private cars and has the railroads very much at it's mercy. Its method, as shown by MT. Joerns, is like this: If even as great a road as the Illinois Central. for example. In designated territory, hap pens to run out of Armour refrigerator cars and uses one of its own in place 1t must nevertheless pay the mileage charge to Armour and act as the col lecting agent for Armour of the usual exorbitant charge of $45 per car. even though $15 had been heretofore the CentraPs regular charge for similar service" And when the Armours "en- ter into contract with any railroad to the extent of the trafic that their service can command the arrangement Is exclusive No other stock or refrig- orator cars but Armour's except by spe- cial dispensation. can be hauled on that line. If offered they must be rejected. If hauled Armour must be paid as if the car were his own" If the railroad persists In evading this clause of its contract. the heavy hand of the heavy and a1l-powerful shipper and controller of traffic extends the necessary pressure in no uncertain way"
 It is easily to be seen how the inde- pendent shippers are crowded to the wall under such arrangements as above outlined.

THE DowvFALL or STEAM.

When we think of what electricity is now doing and the wonderful results 1t is accomplishing. we cannot avoid surprise at the tardiness shown by the civilized world in adopting 1t. Whether this was caused by a failure to under stand 1t, or from a spirit of extra con servatism. we do not know, but certain 1t Is that the world was slow to appro- priate it. Perhaps the great and in- creasing demand for coal. and the knowledge that the supply of coal and wood must disappear. was one of the reasons why mechanics and scientists turned their attention to utilizing cleo tricity.
 Without going back to the discoveries made by Franklin. it Is interesting to note that there was kind of electric locomotive made in Is3s. but little is known of 1t, so that we may be sure 1t was very imperfect machine. That was a start, but that was seventy years ago. yet nearly all our trains and .ves- sells are still run by steam. It is also fact that in 1851 there were some brilliant electric lights displaced in the Crystal Palace in London. at the great Worlds Fair. That was more than half $ century ago. yet it has been less than half that time since this troduced. It soon became popular, but 1t required a quarter of a century or more to make it fairly effective And so, while wS may look on the downfall of steam as one of the certainties of the future, we must also remember that it's successor has travelled very slowly. There is one point fin this connection that should not be lost sight of. and that is the difficulty of understanding the nature and action of electricity. Man, civilized man, at least, has in al- most all ages and countries understood the action of water. Mechanics know how it acts, how to control 1t and how to get the best results from it. And since the days of Watt and Stephenson, at least. the nature and qualities of steam have been pretty well under stood. We know that when water Is 
 steam is properly controlled and di- rected it will give out power. That power can be calculated and measured with considerable accuracy. just as the power of water can.
 It is different with electricity. With all the experiments and discoveries that have been made It is still one of the most elusive and uncertain powers known. It is always giving unexpect- ed results and showing its power where and in a way least expected. That is why 1t has been so slow to take the place of steam. but the discoveries within the last few years have been so many and so important that the once dangerous and slippery fluid Is fast becoming one of the most reliable and economical motive powers known to man. That the combined powers of water and electricity are destined to be the death of steam seems practical ly certain.

Visiting TeIegrnphers Leave.

'"The weather has about released its grip on our wires and business has resumed its normal condition" said c. A. Fonville, Montgomery Manager of the Western Union Telegraph Com pany. we felicitate ourselves that notwithstanding the damage done our wires, commercial telegrams were handled with the utmost dispatch from the Montgomery office.
 Montgomery was made the relay point for a great deal Of our Southern business and our office force was sup plemented by number of expert te- legraphers sent here from New Or leans and Atlanta. These men have been here a week and they will re- turn to their respective stations today. The visiting telegraphers consisted of Messrs. R. II. King, w. c. Haire, A. A. Burnett, J. B. Brown, L.. J. Moor head, J. A. Phillips, F. E. Cunning ham and w. H. Walters of Atlanta i; George A. Clockley, Floyd O. Blanks. W. T. Mcintyre and J. A. Kelly of New Orleans. These men picked from the best telegraphers in our Att lanta and New Orleans office. They have performed loyal service for the company and l am sure their work was appreciated. While they were here some of them worked all dav and far into the night without a murmur of complaint.
 "When the company's wires are tam gled and business is transacted with great effort. 1t is gratifying to know that the employees of the company meet the demands and these men de- serve full credit for their work"
