A fortnight had passed since his re-

his fear had slowly vanished, his CON

to show streaks Of the bravado That In
his stronger days made him an efficient
section boss. Rsy dreams even beset

Dallas, however took a sensible view
of their situation. She pointed out
that the man who had made an entry
for the land would in all probability
return and that if he did not five years
at least would pass before the railroad
reached them. Meanwhile the quar-

Judges on Their Dignity.

The ceremony of the United States
supreme court judges marching from
their robing room across the corridor
to take their seats on the bench,
which occurs at high noon every week
day while the court is holding session,
Is always a matter Of interest to the
average visitor at the capitol. Every
day there is a small crowd waiting to
see the stately procession. The other
day Justice Moody. as the youngest
member Of the august body, brought
up the rear. A flicker Of smile ap-
peared on his face as he noted the
black-robed figures ahead of him, but
it passed away instantly and he be.
came as solemn and grave az the
others.

CAusE AND EFFECT.

The recent awful disaster occasioned by the collapse of span of the great cantilever bridge near Quebec has one feature which is significant and ought to be instructive. The chief architect of the work, who lives in New York is a man of both great capacity and wide experience, who has been connected with some of the greatest bridge build ing enterprises of the age. A short while before the catastrophe he re- ceived notice that the structure was faulty in some respects. He>immediate- Iy wired those having the work in charge to stop ali work at once and not allow any one to go on the bridge until he could have time to make a thorough investigation of the condi- ton existing there This message was sent five hours before the accident but did not reach those for whom 1t was in- tended, until the next day. Comment Is hardly necessary, but it is claimed that this great disaster. involving the loss of millions in money and scores of human lives was due to the delay in telegraphic service. and that in turn was due to the existing strike among the operators.

TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 1907.

The Chattanooga Times has been looking into the matter and decides that it doesn't know that either North Carolina, Georgia or Alabama would profit any by forcing with their inimi- cal laws, the Southern railroad into a. receivership. The melancholy feature of the situation Is that the authorities of neither of the States mentioned based their laws or their recommendations upon any direct knowledge or reliable data as to whether the road could com ply without serioGs if not fatal losses. The evidence adduced in the recent hearing in New York is conclusive that as at present operated the volume of business handled in these States does not justify the drastic reduction of rates attempted"

 Congressman James E. Watson of the Sixth, told a story while in town last week anent the operation of the pure food law, and intended to illustrate his expressed theory that more people would be good if they had to be.
 Tt was while we were wrestling with the pure-food bill at Washington" |" he said that l got a letter from home, written by a man from whom l bought a big quantity of maple sirup each year. He urged me to fight for the pure-food bill Now, l couldn't help remembering to save my life, that this man bought five barrels of brown su- gar at the opening of the maple mo- iasses season. So I wrote him a note suggesting that advocacy of a pure food measure seemed odd from a man who bought five barrels of brown su- gar before beginning the manufacture Of his pure maple sugar.

Railroads Have Rights.

LuVerne Journal
 The interview from Hon. G. L. Smith, chief attorney for the Louisville and Nashville Railroad, seems to be perfect ly fair, legitimate and emanating from a sane mind. It shows a spirit of fair ness on the part of the railroad, and we think if there ever was a time when wisdom and sanity should take the place of demagoguery and playing to the galleries, 1t Is now. The 'Ellen N" only wants to know that the State law is law and if 1t is so decided. then they will obey it's mandates. The rail- road has given ample security to pro tect the interests of the people, and, on the other hand, those roads which have agreed to put in effect the State laws will lose thousands of dollars if the law is declared void by the courts because the State. cannot be- be made 1de t, to give security. Let us be sane, let us wisdom and not of fools and accord to others the same rights that we would ask for ourselves. Railroads haua ElahtG

DOCTORS OF THE oLD-TIME.

The New York Times in recent editorial mentions the death few days ago of Dr. Eliphalet Wright, of Berk- shire. Mass, at the age of ninety years He was one of the oId-fashioned phy- sicians who adhered to the old methods of practice, and didn't believe in germs, bacteria or modern methods of treating diseases. The Timesways of him:
 Dr. Wright was a practical, bedside physician of the ripest experience, and the success of his practice is now a matter of record But he mixed his medicines with brains, and administered them with judgment It is heroic prac- tice to let blood to cure fever and re- than the approved modern way or sponging the patient with ice water, wrapping him in iced sheets and turn ing upon him the full current of power ful electric fan.
 Nowadays some of the hospitals are treating their pneumonia cases in the open air, in the coldest winter weather. The treatment has been abundantly successful in the early stages of tuberculosis, and has been found equally efficacious in acute con- gestion of the lungs. But Dr. Wright, for nearly the Psalmists span of a mans life, was successful in treating pneumonia cases by old-fashfoned of the air in heated rooms, wrapped in heavy blankets. And not one ever died.
 There are yet many of us in the land of the living whose memory goes back to the old methods of treating dis eases. The ready lancet and the handy blister plaster were part of the portable outfit of every doctor, and the patient who didn't make the acquaintance of one or both of them, might count him. self lucky. doctor who didn't believe in bleeding and blistering was prac- tically unknown half a century ago, and we are free to say that some of the methods practiced in those days were little less than barbarous. Per- haps none of the doctors went quite as far as the famous pr. Sangrado in the way of blood letting, but some of them were mighty handy with hhe lancet. And yet, as in the case of pr. Wright, some of these old practitioners were very successful. We don't know how or why 1t was, but their patients got well, just as patients do now, and prob ably the per centage of deaths from ordinary diseases was not much greater than at present. The doctors may ex- plain 1t, if they choose.
