Work Of salvation Army.


The good accomplished by the SAL
walton Army in this country is beyond
all reckoning" remarked a Montgom-
cry man yesterday.
AS ! listened to the talk made by
Major Berrinlan of the Salvation Army
Sunday afternoon at Electric Park, II
struck me that we, DIS a people, do not
give sufficient credit to that wonderful
1t is doing for this country. They
reach a class that our church workers
never touch. They accomplish their
wonderful conversions because they go
est and the vilest by the hand. That
Is the secret OF their success with them.
1t IS always Come 1t is never Co.
i am glad that the local order is
pecoming a MIXTURE IN Montgomery and
believe that 1t will prove blessing
to the city"

Discourfesy over Telephones.

rs II not peculiar that people re-
ceiving q wrong number to a telephone
call will be angry with and blame the
person answering the call rather than
the operator who has made the mis-
take" said prominent Montgomery
man yesterday.
las a rule people fail to realize that
the person answering a telephone call
under misapprehension is more put
out than the one calling and that If
there is any reason in any one to be
djsagreeable in the matter it is for the
man or woman callad from work to be
angrily confronted with don't want
you. That's not the number / want
sust as Through they were in any way
70 blame that the wrong number had
bsen given.
There is really no reason for dis
courtesy on the part of any one when
mistake Is made in a telephone call.
Such things are certainly trying to the
patience, but If there must be some
one blamed in The matter and some one
lacked up, let 1t be the operator who
makes the mistake and not the inno-
cent party who is, perhaps, interrupted
in his work to answer to the mis-
take

SIDEWALK PENClLiNCS


Too many OF us lead the strenuous
life," said a conservatives Montgom-
erian yesterday We are naturally SO
intent ON our business that we never.
for moment, think of giving time to
other thoughts. I tell you, a man
should learn to get &way from alch~ a
life. such nerve racking living makes
US old before our time
Our lives should not be given over
SO much 10 worry but we should train
ourselves to be able to cast Off annoy
ances whenever we want to and give
our minds complete rest. / have heard
people say that they just couldn't help
rushing and worrying. That's not so.
EVERY person can train himself In 9TH
er directions II he only tries.
II have in mind man who can con-
verse on the livest topics of the day,
ne can discuss finances, he can deliver
2 great address. He Is deep thinker,
but, with all that. he can walk down
,the street and forget everything while
he jokes here and there with his
friends. That man sleeps like baby
on retiring and he enjoys life. Few
OF US have learned the secret of en-
5oying life. Most of us walt until we
are too old to learn these things.
Il believe in every man working.
but don't think he should. be so busy
that he cant have some time for de
version. It's just a lack of training
ourselves, that's all.

SPARKS FROM MAINE WIRES.

In rescript from the law court,
handed down Tuesday at Bangor in
the case of Beggs VS. Maine Central
Rs abroad. the plaintiffs verdict of $4,000
is cut down to 5000, the court finding
an error of computation by the jury.
The case was the suit arising from the

Tax on Leaf Tobacco Abo|-
ished Without Debate.
Another Long Discussion on
the Tariff Question.
Indian Bill Made the Vehicle and L
Goes Over Unfinished.

Washington, March 6.-The House
began its session today by passing
without discussion or opposition a bill
for the relief of tobacco growers by
permitting them to sell leaf tobacco
without paying the tax of six cents a
pound heretofore charged. The balance
OF the day was devoted to tariff dis
cussion, the Indian appropriation bill
being the vehicle to carry the debate.
Preceding this, Mr.. Sherman explained
the provision OF the bill.
The tariff discussion was opened up
by Mr.. Rucker of Missouri, who
brought forth arguments designed to
sustain the Democratic idea Of tariff
for revenue only and he closed with the
prediction that these ideas would pre-
vail with w. J. Bryan as the standard
bearer.
Mr.. Lacey, in discussing the horne
market and the German tariff, initiated
a lively fire of argument from both
sides and participated generally and
near the close of the day Mr.. Williams,
the minority leader, talked tariff for
more than an hour. Mr. Williams set
forth the various bills he had intro
duced and asserted that 25 per cent.
Of the cost of commodities would cover
as rule the actual cost of the labor
in their production.
The Indian bill still remains before
the House, no effort to limit general
debate having been made.

TROUBLE is FEARED
Through the Action Of United Textile
Workers. Executive Council.

Fail River. Mass, March CA serious
clash in labor circles is expected to be
the inevitable result of action taken to-
day by the executive council of the Unit
ed Textile Workers of American direct
ly antagonzing union weavers in this
city who are connected with the organ
lZation. Some time ago these weavers
whose union is affiliated with the United
Textile Workers of America, conferred
with the Viewers Union in New Bed
ford with the object of calling con-
vention to organize a national union Of
weavers. The New Bedford union is not
connected in any way with the United
Textile Workers of America. The eXccu-
tive council of the latter organiza. ton
fearing Il serious break in its membership
held Il meeting in this city today and
adopted a resolution in which the coun-
Gil put itself upon record as opposed to
any United Textile Workers union form
ing an alliance with another body not
affiliated with the United Textile Workers
of America. Curiously, at the time this,
action was taken by the national organ
IZation, representatives of the Fall River
and New Bedford Viewers Unions were
holding conference in this city and they
were making active preparation for the
organization of a national union of weay-
ers. The protest of the executive coun-
Gil of the Textile Workers will, it is said,
be ignored by the weavers.
The wage question was also the subject
of consideration by the executive cour-
Gil and it was the general opinion that
the wage standard in the textile industry
is too low and that the time is opportune
and the conditions warrant an increase in
wages. No definite plan of action in re-
gard to these matters was mapped out
by the council. it being left to the locals
to agitate movements for higher wages
if they see fit to do so. These locals will
be Informed that requests for 4 higher
wage rate will receive the support Of the
United Textile Workers Of America.

Hale Opposes Any|ncrease
Of Standing Army.
Says General Staff Wants an
Invasion Of China.
About the Same Objections Also Made by
Carter and GaIIinger.

Washington, March G.-The question
of the enlargement of the medical de-
partment of the army occupied the
ma jor portion Of the time of the SEN
ate today. The question arose in con-
nectiOn with the consideration of a bill
for the displacement of contract sur
geOns by physicians who shall be Civ
en- the rank of army officers, and the
Reorganization of the medical corps.
Mr.. Hale criticised the bill as an
entering wedge for IL general increase
of the army and said that it was q
part of Il general plan of the general
staff which he charged with a general
purpose OF enhancing the army's i'm
portance. In the course of his re-
marks the senator from Maine said
that the general staff was disposed to
encourage an invasion of China.
Mr.. Carter and Gallinger spoke in
somewhat the same vein of objection
as did Mr.. Hale, while the bill was de-
Tended by Messrs. Warren, Blackburn
and other senators.
The bill was not disposed of.
The only speech of the day on the
statehood bill was made by Mr.. Long
who advocated the passage of the bill
as reported by the committee on ter
ritories.
Secretary Taft occupied a seat on
the floor of the Senate while the army
bill was under consideration.

Is Formed by Some Dis
satisfied Weavers
To Be Known as the National
Federation Of Weavers.
Will Reduce United Textile Workers and
Al |. May Blacklist Il.

Fall River, Mass, March 6.-Weav-
ers representing fellow workers in this
city, New Bedford, Lawrence. Lowell
and Baltic, CT, met here today and
formed an organization known as the
National Federation of Weavers. The
following officers were elected:
President, William Hollis, New Bed
ford; vice president William Granton,
Fall River; OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES, James
Whitehead, Fail River.
1t is believed in labor circles here
that the new organization will have the
effect of not only making material
reduction in the ranks of the United
Textile Workers. but it will undoubt-
eddy place itself beyond the pale of the
American Federation Of Labor unless
an amicable adjustment can be ar
ranged.
The agitation for the new organiza-
ton was begun among the New Bed
ford WeaVerS. Two years ago the New
Bedford union failed to receive from
the United Textile Workers the support
in strike which they believed was due
them. They protested the matter in two
national conventions and their cOntcn-
tons being turned down, they with
drew from the national organization.
James Whitehead, who was elected sec
retary-treasurer CT the new OrganiZa-
ton, is secretary Of the local union Of
weavers which is affiliated with the
Textile Workers Union, and he is Il
ppromnent leader among the union
men. He is also Il member of the OK
ecutive committee of the United Tex
tile Workers, which body met today
and protested against the formation of
the new organization. William Gran
ton, who was elected vice president of
the new union. is president of the local
weavcrs union and also a prominent
labor man.

Special Train to Be Fur

To Travel Over the Entire Ban.
gor & Aroostook System
To Give The Agricultural People Benefits Of
the Staicn's Work.

Orono. Me-, March 6.-tSpeciaD.-
President Fellows announced in chapel
Tuesday morning that funds had been
procured to assist the College of Agri-
culture in carrying out a project which
has for some time been under consider
alton.
The scheme which is TO be tried is
similar to a practice which was begun
by the Iowa State College several years
ago. This institution is the leading
agricultural college of the country and
having made some very valuable in
vestigations with regard to seed corn
conceived the idea of disseminating this
Information over the state among the
corn growers. A special train was sent
all over the state with this purpose
carrying experts, speakers and
students The result was so noticeable
in the increased production that the
practice has since continued.
President Fellows announcement that
funds had been promised for such 4
purpose is very significant and al
though nobody presumeS to predict re-
| Suits the valuable experiments con-
| Quoted along agricultural lines cannot
! fail to be 4 help to residents of the
State when they shall be clearly demon
| strated.
The present scheme is to send a
special train the entire length of the
| Bangor & Aroostook and over such
| other parts of the State as may be

made some time in April or May and
instruction will be given out along the
| lines of stock, poultry, fertilizer. seeds
and dairying.
| AS the present means of the Universe
ty are not adequate for such expenses
the president has secured the promise
Of a man who is interested in the pro-
gress of scientific agriculture but wht
does not wish his name to be made
public to supply money for the ex.
pertinent. BY this means the result:
obtained by practical experiments will
be propagated among the farmers o.
