If I were to take crowd as truly representatives of the best class of citizenship of the State. l would take the men who make up the Grand Lodge of Masons." said a Montgomery citi- zen yesterday.
 Legislature Is so truly representative of the citizenship of the state, nor do I think that political convention represent what Is best and most sub stantial in our citizenship. The men who make up sthe Grand Lodge are men who are leaders in their com and men who influence their fellow citizens about them. They are more representative of the citizenship or because so few politicians are found among lem. They are as general thing men who are given to staying at home and successfully managing their "The membership of the Grand Lodge is such that any order may well reel proud of 1t. I think, too, that Mont that the State Masonic Temple was se- cured for this city and Montgomery was made the permanent headquarters for the great order"

 New York World.
 Any one owning a patent process for turning out railroad-rate laws that are Jones-injunction-p proof could probably get immediate employment with Governor Conner of Alabama. The Governor will provide the Legislature:
 Governor Conner has just suffered another heart breaking disappoint- with the Alabama rate laws and at once found himself tangled up in some of Judge Thomes Goode Jones's Fed eral iniunctions. At first 1t looked ernor Glenn of North Carolina and se- cede from the Union. On second thought: however. he decided to call legislators together and enact new anti-railroad laws that Judge Jones could not temporarily suspend by any of his Federal restraining orders.
 There were about twenty bills in all. They regulated passenger rates. They classified all kinds of freight. They fixed fares for certain distances and go into effect December l. And they were injunction proof"
 The Legislature passed them all and adjourned Saturday evening. Gov ernor Conner signed the last of them Tuesday night and was waiting for the ink to dry when Judge Jones step straining the State Railroad Commls- sion, all solicitors. clerks of court. shippers and passengers from obeying or enforcing the Governors in1unc- tion-p proof laws until it could be as certained whether they violated the Constitution of the United States.

An interesting story comes from

flock Of geese. To prevent a jug of
whiskey from breaking while being
transported over the roads, he had
placed it in a sack Of peas. The cork
came out, and when the farmer
reached home he found that the
whiskey had been absorbed by the
peas. He threw the peas out in the
yard, where unknown to the house
hold, the geese ate them. In the
morning the geese lay stark and
cold. The wife, thrifty woman, did
not cry over split milk, but proceed

wreck, and she plucked the geese

Stock Jumps TO $40 February 23d

January proved a record breaker.
The people are waking up to the fact
that this is not "a railroad on paper
1T is BEING BUILT. When the
order for steel for Immediate delivery;
when the Cambria Steel company re-
ceives similar order for steel, for
immediate delivery that means bust
ness. The railroad is n fact 1t is talk
ing on tangible shape Before April the
first trains will run out of L.aporte The
carloads of materials which are arriV-
ing daily; the deeds for right of way
that are being filed for record; the
franchises which are being granted by
these things mean business They are
guarantee of what may be expected
when spring opens and the road can
increase the scale of it's building OPP
erations.
WE HAVE THE MONEY TO DO 1T.
and money counts in railroad building.
The question recently was put to Il
New England banker by a broker who
was trying to interest him I'm this rail-
road:
Suppose the stock of this company
had all been sold except the last $5,OO0,-
600, would you not then be willing TO
pay $3.50 share for the unsold por-
tion?"
Il WOULD" said the banker, without
hesitation.
One hundred and fifty dollars a share
before the completion of the road, and
today the same stock is selling for $35.
BY that confession the banker said in
effect: Your railroad is practical,
Completed, 1T will be an exceptional
money-maker. I only question one
thing, the ability of the people to
laise the money Every million dol
lars of that capital subscribed ad-
Vances the actual value of the stock,
entirely irrespective of the progress of
the work of building"
Los Angeles herald., 1907-02-21

The fact is that money is being sub
scrbed for this important enterprise
and is being wisely expended in con-
struCtion work History is repeating
itself In the dark days of the Civil
War, when the bankers failed the gov
ernment, Jay Cooke, by the authority
of President Lincoln, went to the people
precisely as we are going to the people
today. He established some $500 agen-
cies throughout the north. and the
people, out of their savings, saved the
credit of the nation. The Chicago New
York Electric Air Line Railroad pins its
faith to the people.
Have you noticed the change in pub
lie sentiment? To many, at the start,
Chicago to New York in ten hours,
1T was too good to be true. Today the
question is one of money only-even
the steam railroads are falling into line.
Within a few months electric trains will
dence on the New York, New Haven &
Hartford railroad at the rate of 100
miles an hour. Here Is what Vice
President Buckland of that railroad says
regarding the matter: ''We are acting
ON the belief that all the great trunk
lines In this country will eventually he
operated by electricity"
The Chicago-New York Electric Air
Line railroad is the most practical, the
most sensible, the most profitable and
the safest Investment that will be of
fered to the American people in years
and years. 1t is not often that the gem
eral public ges ground floor" chance
in railroad investment Is it surpris-
Ing that a flood of money is pouring
into the general offices OF the company
from people who are alive to this op-
portunity?

MAN MEETS DEATH
IN BAD RUNAWAY
w. D. BECKS LIFE CRUSHED
OUT BY WHEELS
Team Takes Fright at Standing Steam
Roller, and In swervlng BY
Driver Is Hurled from
His Seat
Pasadena Agency
a North Raymond Avenue,
Phones: Sunset 1907, Home 2l2A

PASADENA, Feb. 20-William u.
Beck met a horrible death late this
afternoon when he was thrown from
the wagon which he was driving and
crushed to death beneath its wheels.
The accident took place at about $3.50
o'clock. Beck, who had lived with his
brother, T.. ID. Beck of the Beck-Seelcy
Lumber company, at the corner of At
lanta street and Lincoln avenue, was
driving one Of the wagons of the com
pany along Sunset avenue, near Logan
street, when the horses took fright at
a steam road roller which was stand
ing beside the road.
In spite of the utmost effort of the
driver the team ran as though pos
sesscd until the horses made sudden
swerve which threw Beck from his seat.
In falling the unfortunate man struck
his head upon the hub of one of the
wheels and his body topped forward
so that the wheel itself passed over
him.
An autopsy has not yet been per-
formed but 1t is presumed that Beck's
neck or back was broken either by
striking his head on the hub or else
when the wheel passed over his body,
There is no bruise upon the body which
gives sufficient outward sign of the
manner of death to indicate the exact
manner in which the man was killed.
Assistance promptly reached the dy-
ing man, but he lived but a few min
utes after the accident. BY the time
the Adams, Turner & Stevens ambu-
lance reached the scene Beck was dead
and his body was at once taken to the
undertaking rooms of that company.
1t is probable that there will be either
an inquest or at least a brief inquiry
by the coroner some time Thursday.
The hour is not set as yet.
Mr.. Beck only came to Pasadena last
fall and was actively engaged in busi-
ness with his brother.
Los Angeles herald., 1907-02-21

Here is what the Chicago Examiner
says:
"Cassatt discovered that it is better
for railroad to build it's tracks in Il
straight line than i'm crooked one.
This revelation, simple as 1t was, was
az far reaching in the railroad world az
NnpOleOn's conception of cannon was
in the world of war. Cassatt, looking
into the future, would say; THE straight
line wins always"
That is what we have been saying
all along. The straight line wins. The
Electric Air Line will win. Without
an unnecessary curve, without a grade
crossing, with a perfect roadbed and
equipment, 1t will do more than send it's
trains through the choicest part of the
United States from Chicago to New
golden stream of wealth into the laps of
