Advertiser Bureau:

Selma, April 1l. Does the acquiring of the Queen and
 Crescent route by the Southern Rail- way mean anything for Selma, is question that is being asked now by Selmians. There arc those who believe 1t aoes and that shortly Selma will he more than a terminal for local trains It is now believed that shortly the Southern win be operating several vest, bule trains through this city daily. This is the belief or railroad men and though it is not founded upon any in formation that they have received, 1t is said that time will show that they are very near right in the guess that they have hazarded When the Southern assumes control of the Queen and Cresl cent on July 1, that system will con
 trol tracks from Washington to New Orleans and from Cincinnati to New Orleans.
 Already there arc railroad men who
 heve figured out the time that will be saved by the Southern in operating a train from Cincinnati to Chattanooga thence by Birmingham. Selma and Me ridian to New Orleans. They say that such a route, will save the travelling public two hours each way. This is a busy world and two hours time means great deal. .; t.s. +4g
 Such a train would be greatly well canned by the people living on the Southern Railway ip this section of the state. The tracks of that system. are heinz put in good condition and much heavier rails than have been used here- tofore are being put down.
 If a through train is operated be- tween, Cincinnati and New Orleans through Selma. there will then be no reason why the Southern should net then operate its Southeastern Limited also through this city from Washing ton to New Orleans. Railroad men are of the opinion that it is only ques- tion of short while before the above mentioned trains will pass through this city daily.

PUNISH YOUR ENEMIES.

Workingmen, if there W. was a
time when labor should show its
front it is now. We are in politics;
not from II own volitiOn, but be-
cause all efforts to get a square deal
from our lawmakers were futile.
The present political movement was
launched when it became more APP
parent that if the working people
were to share in the prosperity
of the nation they would have TO
provide the means to get it. We
propose to stand by our friends in
the lawmaking bodies and GUST our
enemies. No cropping in the dark
about this business. This is a mat
ter that should not be treated light
ly, and it is up to you regardless of
party utilization, to vote according
". If the issue wins, it mean the
emancipation of the working pcO-
pie from corporate control of II
legislative bodies, the enforcement
of existing laws, and needed legis-
lation for the masses instead of the
classes. On the other hand, should
the movement fail, organized labor
will be given a setback from which
it will take several years to re-
cover, allowing the enemies of labor
in the interim to frame up and en-
act more obnoxious and liberty de-
stroying laws.
You cannot cOnScietiOuSly dodge
this issue; you cannot even ring in
the old saw of ancestral party at1il-
iation, because you have been sold
out many times by both parties.
You are honor bound to stand by
the movement.

THE PARTISAN PRESS

The men who fight the battles
for labor, who make enemies of the
capitalistic press by What they do
and say, have trials enough to en-
counter without feeling that they
must also be III their guard against
enemies in the very ranks of labor
who ought to be their friends and
supporters. But while it is dis
couraging to know that there are
creatures So dcspicablc us to seek
to blight the good work of loyal
men (and it would be difficult to
imagine anything SO utterly con-
tcmptible), it must never be for
gotten that the sound sense and
good Judgment of the great labor
ing people can be relied upon to
corn the work the of goSsips and
render futile the efforts of the falSi.
Tying press who would willingly
wreck every hope of labor's future
that in the ruin3 they might find
some petty hate or malice granted.

men assembled in our city for any
particular purpose than the repre-
sentatiyeS of the Mine Workers.
who we're in special session here
last week discussing the proposed
amendments to the State mining
laws. From the time they assem-
bled until they adjourned they de-
voted their whole time and atten-
ton in behalf of their constituents
and were untiring in their efforts
to bring the cause of their people
in its broadcast sense before the
mining commission urging fay
orable action thereon. 1t was uni
versally conceded on all sides that
it was one of the most manly and
intelligent bodies of men ever en-
t%ertained within the gates of our
city and a credit to the cause
which they represented.
1t is sincerely hoped that their
plea for better projections of the
miners will be granted by the next
Legislature. May ucces crown
their efforts.

LABOR'S FEDERATION.

One who studies the labor move
ment from the outside will scarcely
fail to see in the federation of labor
organizations the logical outcome
of unionism, the only complete cX-
preston of class consciousness and
the best guarantee of safe methods.
When one is so impressed one won
ders that federation has had to
WO * SO hard to establish itself,
and one is at Il loss to understand
why the work of federation is not
long since completed.
The labor movement is radi-
cal i'll its aim if compared with the
defensive principles of conserva
tiSm, but its methods must be con-
sentative, its Judgment dare not
be narrow, while its views should
be based on the interests of the
whole laboring class in its modern
relations to law, employer and the
public.
a particular tradcs-union will
often find it difficult to hold it's
action to conservative labor
methods; and will at times base
radical action on narrow INDICTMENTS.
M = feel intensely and act raShIy
when looking at their AT
close range and under pressure of
emotion. The result sometimes is
seen i'll unwiSc policies. reckless
claims, which avert public SYM
pathy and issue in heavy burdens
on lahorerS themselves.
Where the union is in close and
sympathetic relation with the other
organizations in the movement. as
seen in declarations, these dangers
are avcrtcu. The idea back of
federation is the welfare Of thr
whole laboring class. The interests
OF the union are seen il, the light of
Il broad principles. where MANY

sod down the hill and leaving a space

the hill nicely. A recent heavy rain
had not damaged it in the least. for all
the water had drained off from the cor
