The Oldest Sunday School.

The American Sunday School I'm
ion is the largest Sunday school mis-
sionary society in this country. For
S2 years its missionaries have done
aggressive work in the most needy
and destitute places in many states.
These missionaries gather the neg
lected children into Sunday school
and provide them with moral and re-
ligiOus instruction at an age when it
will do them the most good. The
work of this society is strictly inter
UNCONVENTIONAL, and benefits many
who could not be reached along de-
nominational lines. AS a result of
this work there are thousands of pros
porous churches OF different denomi-
nations in many parts of the country,
showing that all who cooperate have
a share in the results.
All those who are interested in the
work, or who desire additional in
formation about it, should write to

IS JAPAN GETTING READY?

A recent telegram from Berlin says
that not without reason did Sir Ed
ward Gray, the British minister of
foreign affairs, the other day, ask
that a clause guaranteeing the neu-
trality of Great Britain in case of
war between Japan and the United
States, be inserted in the treaty
between England and her ally. A
high army officer OF the German gen.
eral staff, who has just returned from
the Far East, says that Japan is max,
ing gigantic preparations for just
such a war which she will provoke
as soon as she thinks herself strong
enough.
Since the treaty ending the Rus
so-Japanese war was signed in Ports
mouth, the people of Japan have been
exceedingly bitter against America
and by limiting at the possibility Of
a war with the United States the
German official says, the JAPANESE
government has been given carte
blanche in regard to the military bud
get. Il has added four new division:
to her army, two of which are in Ko
rea, and two on the Liao-Tung PENN
sula, south of Port Arthur, and foul
more divisions are being formed.
"Seventy-three squadrons are to bt
added to the cavalry, making the to
tai strength of that arm 12S squad
rons. Three hundred field guns O
big calibre are bling manufactured il

superior to any in use in any othel
army in the world.
Fifteen new battleships and al
equal number Of swift first elias!
cruisers are to be built as fast al
the Japanese shipyards can turf
them out, and large number of sub
marines.
These figures are reliable and the
Japanese officials who gave them sale

that Japan's next victory would be

petitioners.

The following is the petition sent
to Mr.. r. Hudson Burr, Railroad Com.
missioner, and his reply:
September, 1906.
To the Honorable Railroad Commits
sioners of the state of Florida:
Sirs:-We, the undersigned, respect
fully urge, beg, petition and insist
that if it is within the power of your
Honorable Body, that you take such
steps as are necessary to compel The
Atlantic Coast Line railroad, of Flor
ida, to repair and put in order, its
track, rolling stock, ETC., so that pas
sengers can feel that they can travel
with the usual safety expected, and
that travel will not be delayed and
blocked as it has been in the past
year.
The present condition of train SER
vice is frightful and we feel that even
short trip over this road is not
only of danger but of sudden delay by
accidents and wrecks that one cannot
even estimate at the arrival and de-
parture of trains.
Signed by 1876 different people scat
tered over the state.
Other copies of this petition were
not forwarded owing to attached re-
ply.

Mr. T. H. Wallis, Box 933, Ocala, Fla.
Dear Sir:-Your favor of Septem-
Der 26, enclosing a petition to the
Railroad Commissioners relative to
the physical condition of the Allan
tic Coast Line rairload, containing
LOG signers, was received, as was also
your second communication of the
10th inst, enclosing a supplementary
petition from other parts of the
state on the same subject. Replying
to these communications l beg to say
that the Railroad Commission of this
state has no authority over the phys
ical condition Of railway properties,
nor is there any statute in the state
giving that authority to any other Of
ficer.
Realizing, the necessity of such a
law in the state, the writer, some
eighteen months ago, took up the sub
ject with the commissions in other
states, as well as the Interstate Com
merce Commission, in order to as
certain how many states having rail-
way commissions had conferred such
power on their boards, and find that
twenty-five states out of, l think, thir-
ty-two states having commissions had

Also, to all of our Senators, Rep
resentatives, Boards of Trade and all
public spirited citizens of Florida
Below you will find a copy OF pc
tition sent to the Florida Railroad
Commission and their reply. On be-
half of the signers of same, am cir
culating this pamphlet and we hope
that some law maker of Florida will
take this matter up and use his in
fiuence to correct this evil. The only
way to do is to pass laws giving our
Railroad Commissioners the power to
act. We respectfully ask each per,
son who sees this to assist us; and
would appreciate it if the Boards of
Trade and City Councils of each town
have this read before their bodies
and pass resolutions favoring the
passage of such laws.
