ELECTRIC CURRENT ON GUARD
The Device Installed by the Dawson
National Bank Will Thrill With
Alarm at BURGLARS Touch.

The enterprise shown by the Dawson
National Bank in installing at great
expense an automatic electric burglar
alarm is still a topic of conversation
among the large crowd of people who
witnessed the demonstration that was
given for the purpose of illustrating
how safely protected the bank now is
from burglars by automatic appliances,
which, through the swift and subtle
aid of the electric current, make the
loud gongs get busy" when any eff
fort is made to force entrance into the
building or into either one of the large
vaults in the bank. This precaution
on the part of the Dawson National
to protect its customers is commended
in strong terms by everyone.
The leading banks throughout the
country are installing the electric bur-
glar alarm, the Third National. of Co
lumbus, being another big banking
house in this section that has Just
provided itself with this protection.
In a letter President G. Gunby Jordan
ion of it as follows:
COLUMBUS, GA, Aug. 10, 1905. &C.
0. Burns Co., 322 Fifth Avenue, New
York, n. Y. Gentlemen: We beg to
advise you that your Electrical Bank
Protection as installed by your good
company in our three vaults is entire
ly satisfactory. Now that we have
protection for our book vault, our
money vault and our safe deposit vault
we feel entirely at ease.
The work has been we'll done, and we
are gratified to say that the mechanics
in charge so managed it that they gave
US the least amount of incOnven-
fence and completed the installa-
ton in very reasonable time.
The public demonstration given by
your representative was decided sue
cess: there were bankers here from
three or four different states, all of
whom seemed to be very much inter-
ested.
In adopting your system we feel that
we now have positive assurance of Sc
curity and the best protection that is
invented.
We gave very thorough investiga-
ton to this matter before adopting j.
and have no cause to regret our favor |
able decision.
AS an advertisement the investment |
has proved an excellent one, and as a !
means of protection we consider the !
system invaluable. Very truly yours, |

RAILROAD RATES IN FRANCE.
What the Traffic Manager of the Mos
Important Railroad of France Thinks
of Government Regulation.

What the Traffic Manager of the Most
Important Railroad of France Thinks
of Government Regulation.
H. c.. Noblemaire, traffic manager
of the Paris-Lyon-M Mediterranean Rail
way, says in discussing the American
railroad rate system:
Your American method of making a
railroad tariff-leaving the companies
free to make the price of transporta-
ton. subject only to correction by the
government in instances of abuse OF
discretion-is a better one than our
French method. Indeed, don't see
on what other principle your tariffs
could be made, inaSmuch as your rail-
ways are privately owned and oper-
ated. | can't understand how any
government could make rates for such
railways.
The French railways, in fact, always
make their own rates; that is to say,
the government never assumes to lay
down or prescribe a rate for us. We
make new rates and changes as we
think equitable and just. We are then
Obliged, before putting them in force
to submit them to the government
for approval, and argue it out with
them. The position taken by the gov"
eminent is usually due to pOlitica
pressure from some locality or Indus
try. and is therefore generally never
along sound business lines. They
argue something that runs counter to
the laws of nature and the laws OF
trade. and our rates are thus
more and more a matter of po-
litics rather than Of sound rail
way administration, leading con-
stantlv toward a distance tariff. In
twenty years, at the rate we are going,
don't know where we shall land "
