Did you see that article in the
Kansas City Star Of March q, stating
that President GOmpers and a hun
dred other presidents and representa-
uves Of labor were received by Uncle
Joe" Cannon and there in the halls
Of congress complained Of the unfair
way in which the lawmakers Of the
nation disregard the enforcement Of
laws in the interest Of labor and that
they had the authority to remedy the
conditions Further stated that If
they did not look after the matter,
they would look to the people. What
does look TO the people" mean2 It
signifies dissatisfaction with the pres
ent service Of United States senators
and congressman, and means they will
appeal to the people direct to elect
men TO take their places. In other
words the present administration is
for the rich alone. Any sensible,
wide awake person can see this. Are

places of abodes fin that heather land She said that they could live just as the Chinese people lived, but they would not last long. This fact had been rec ognized and now the missionaries were endeavoring to prolong their days of usefulness by living as nearly as pos sible as they had lived at home and they were succeeding remarkably well.
 Mrs. Stewart narrated some touching stories of the fidelity and devotion of some of the native Christians. One especially appealing case was that of a woman, ignorant of even the Chinese characters, who listened to the word and believed and went to work among her kindred and friends and without help secured. a church building and members enough to organize. She. by patient effort. had learned to read and can now study the Bible.
 Conditions have all changed wonder fully In these years, she said, and 1t is due to the efforts of those who, at home. have sent the missionaries into the field.

 been going on in the Ashland and Line vile papers in regard to a petition aled with the Governor by former State

ter, lights are good and car service Is excellent. The markets are much bet ter than formerly. and unlike most towns of this size, when necessary, we have big cf.y at hand to draw upon. l So, while there may be disadvantages in living so near to Birmingham, there is also something to be said on the other side.''
 And again she says on the servant question:
 .'The women, perhaps. knock mora than the men. They say that it is dull: 1: that life here IS uninteresting, and that the servant problem is something aw- full Some Of this may be true-that about the servants undoubtedly Is, but tho same condition exists everywhere. At many, many points in the west it Is utterly impossible to get help of any kind at ary price. unless the daugh- ters of a neighbor condescends to fill the breach for a limited time, and we all know. or at least can imagine, what that sort of help means. Here, we can pick up some kind of a darkey at any time. Incompetent as they are. they can at least do the rough work. and we have to pay them comparatively little. We complain of the negroes bit- ter1y snd with reason, but our South ern women are far better of where servants are concerned than the North erners. Tn the North you have to be a small Crcesus to keep one at all"
 There is just this difference-that Mrs. Moody does not seem to take into consideration. One good servant In the North is sufficient for household, as she often combines the offices of cook. housemaid, washwoman and nurse. She lives at the home, has no hangers -on. and does not deplete the larder with the filling of the basket that she totes home at evening.

Laboeing in Fields of the orient Shs Brings Messages of Hope to the Presbyterian
 Women.

Mrs. J. L.. Stewart, wife of the re- turned missionary of the Southern Pres byterian Church, stationed for the past thirty-two years in China, addressed a large audience of the women of tho missionary organizations of the Pres byferian churches of 9IpntgorneEy at the home of Mrs J. Walter Black, on South Court strset yesterday after noon.
 ter of itury has labored by the side of her husband doing. as she said, the work that woman alone could do in that country. Hers was work among the women and work that counted for much. She said that when they went to China more than thirty years ago their work was In preparing the soil. They had first to attract the attention of the people that they might be enabled to get them to listen, and afterwards as the work advanced 1t became a work of cultivation-of tend ing and nourishing the little plants that had sprung from the seed that had been sown. She talked especially of the work of the past eight years; the work that they had done since their return to China after visit to the home land.
 They had< labored at Hang Chow all those years previous, but on their re- turn a different field was planned for them and their station was changed from Hang Chow to the country dis trIcts about thirty miles from the city. MT and Mrs. Stewart left their chill dren in the home land on their return this time and therefore were better sit- uated to take charge of the country district than were some of the other missionaries. It was of the work that she had done in the new field that she talked; of the way. they lived; of the discomforts and inconvenience they en- dured for time and of the subsequent success of the work.
 She told of the horrors of the great Boxer trouble. She drew a graphic picture of the awful agony, of the dread and suspense that the little band of missionaries and native Christians en- dured through that time. She showed also the true heroism and Christian bravery of. not alone the missionaries, but the native Christians as well.
 She talked Interestingly of Hang Chow, a city of S00,000 people, closed within a high wall whose ten great gates are closed at night and not open ed again till the morning sun appears. She told of the perfect unity and har- mony in which the missionaries of diff ferent denominations work together within the citys walls, and of the fact that ths natives rarely question the de- nomination of the church they joined, calling them all the Church of Jesus.'
 Perhaps the subject on which she touched most interesting to her audi ence was her descriptions of the home life and the Home comforts that the missionaries were bringing into their

sreaking of Candldates.

The card of Hon. J. Sydney Bowie in the papers of yesterday and in which he states that he will not be a candidate for Congress from this dis trict to succeed himself, has caused a good deal of talk here yesterday and today. MT. Bowie has been perhaps the best representative in the lower House of the National Congress that this district has ever had, and his de- ,cisfon not to offer himself for that office against was learned with regret by the voters of this section.
 Today there has been much specu- lation as to who would be candidates to succeed MT. Bowie. It is generally conceded that every counte in the dis- trict will put forth one or more as- pirapis for that office. Those here who talked the matter over today think that among those who will of- fer for the office will be Hon. A. P. Agee of Anniston, Hons. Carson Whit son and Dixon of Talladega. It is al- so thought that very likely that Dal- las will furnish a candidate and to- dac in connection with the position ffere mentioned the names of Hon. Henry F. Reese, State Senator from Dallas and E. C., Jones. Whether these two gentlemen have given the matter a thought Is not known but their names were mentioned here today.
