 It Is not logical now to stop raii- road trains on Sunday, but We should draw the line between working men for their money value on Sunday and working them for necessity. We have to accomplish the necessary on Sun day, but we do not have to work men for their money value
 Apulicable to Our Day.
 After all has been said the distinc- ton of works of mercy and necessity are as applicable to our day as they were to Christs day, and the same rel atlve cessation from labor should mark our active hustling, bustling age as marked the quiet time in which Jesus lived. This makes it plain that the truth is betwixt the old Jewish con eeption of the irreverant flippant American money maker who wishes to destroy the Sababth day
 Tn a word what we want to ird- press upon men Is that they must have a day of rest. God has taught this and every age has learned from ex.. perience that 1t is economical and wise.

THE POWER or THE PRESS

An instance that shows the conf dence of the readers of this paper in what appears in its columns and also that 1t has most substantsal family circulation. came to the notice of one of our representatives while In conversa- ton with well known up-t town drue- Eist, A short time ago there was pub- lished in the news section a home re- cipe for the quick cure of coughs and colds. It was furnished by .a physician of prominence in the Philadelphia Ciin- ic and was as follows: Mix two ounces of Iylcerine. one half ounce Cnncen- trated oil of pine and half pint of goo whiskey: shake thoroughly and use in tablespoon doses every four hours If the case is acute. and if not use in teaspon doses"
 The druggist stated that this pro cuced a very unusual demand for Con- centrated oil of pine and that this do- mand has continued and increased This certainly speaks well for both the value of the recipe and the circulation of the paper,
 The pine product referred to Is com paratively new, but was welcomed by physician and druggists on account Of It's being soluble. quality long de- sired in an oil of pine. This "Concen- trated" oil of pine Is put up only in one way and that Is in half ounce via1s. enclosed in round screwtop cases which protect 1t from heat and light so that it does not weaken with age.

POWER FROM ArAR.

A brief item in an exchange gives another evidence of the wonderful pos- abilities of electricity. The informa- tion comes from The London Daily Mail and Is to the effect that an electric plant is being erected at Victoria Falls, on the Zamhesi River. in South Afri- ca, from which electric power is to be transmitted to Johannesbury. six hundred miles distant. The street rail- ways and the various manufacturing Industries of that city, as we'll as light zszxNs-Aa5-Ihssting. will all be driven from this far-away point. and the Ger man engineers in charge of the work add one more to the accommodating evil dences of the almost limltless possi- hilities of electricity.
 This will be the greatest distance to which electric power has yet been transmitted. but if it succeeds in this case, we see no reason why the dis tance may not be increased without limit. Then the deserts and the re- gions where there Is no water power can be supplied from afar as readily as the towns or communities situated Mt or near the mountain streams where power is plentiful and convenient There are many populoGs places in this country where water-power is far distant and if such places can be sup piled with light and power from streams hundreds of miles off, 1t will remove from them one of the serious inconveniences to which they are now subject. In short the indications are that almost any portion of earth can have electric power if needed. The possibilities of the fluid are unbounded apparently and the indications are that electric development Is yet in It's infancy

 Trains. Birmingham Age-Herald.
 The. members of the Machlnists' Un- ion of Birmingham are rapidly signing petition to the members of the Leg islature protesting against the bill which seeks to stop the operation of freight trains on Sunday.
 J. B. Drake, business agent of the union is circulating the petition and he stated yesterday that he expected every maohinist in the district that could be reached to sign the petition, as the, passage of such bill would In talking of the matter hs said:
 The machinists are all against the bill. It would hurt us. decrease the amount of work we would have. there fore decrease the number of men who could find employment and tend to
 If the railroads could not operate trains on Sunday 1t wou.d decrease the one-seventh. In other words, fifty.two days would be practically cut off the year, and the engines would not get out of condition as they do now. In fact 1t would amount to more than one e-seventh for the railroads do more than one-seventh of their transporta- ties on Sunday.
 chinlsts work in the ~sJroad sneps. and therefore eighty per cent of us would suffer 1T this bill were passed, and the other. twenty per cent are certainly with us in this matter. I am going to Montgomery this week as a member of the legislative committee of the Ala bar1na Federation of Labor, and i am going to put in a word against that bill whenever l get a chance.'
 The Brotherhood Ngf Locomotive En. gineers yesterday afternoon passed a resolution which said that 1t was inc sense of that bod~ that the bill in the Legislature seeking to prevent the operation of freight trains on Sunday was injurious to their interests.
 The engineers give several reasons for opposing the bill, one of which is that 1t would take S35 or $4e a month or their pay, which they claim would be serious blow to many of them. |. The resolution also sets forth that 1T trains were not operated on Sun day 1t would necessarily increase the number of trains on the railroads on the other six day, which would in- crease the danger of accidents It would increase the danger of the en- gineers and other trainmen. and make their responsibility greater, as they would have to meet more trains and there would be greater number of trans operating against each other. all of which, 1t is claimed would make the work of the engineer harder.
 T. s. Pound was named as repre- sentative to Montgomery to fight this Dill and others, and he will probably leave this morning and spend several days in Montgomery on the matter There is a petition being circulated throughout the State among all rail. road employees asking the Legislature not to pass this bill. and it was stated yesterday that all railroad men are against 1t in all parts of the State The, engineers have a committee which Is circulating several petitions against tho bill.

 The American drummer is the greatest patriot in the world" said w. J. Clark. T believe no other men can touch the Americans in selling goods or boosting their country. The travelling men of the United States have made our foreign trade They are good mixers, quick to catch on and are the greatest civllizers we have with the exception of the newspapers How faithful and patriotic they are none but those who have seen them can appreciate. Their patriotism Is put to the real test, for any one who has travelled abroad for long time knows how the traveller in foreign country longs to get back home when he has been years away from his fireside. Est the mer stick to thefr work, knowing that Y s up to them to make trade And thSy are doing it bravely and surely
 There is no better trade mark in Europe today than that which appears on American goods. Foreign coun- tries know It. too, for many of them are continually making limitations of our manufactured products. and some are even going so far as to mark them with American names. The people Of Europe are beginning to look upon goods that come from America the same as we looked upon woollens and other articles a few years ago that were marked imported"

have wisdom and spirit enough not tt
 be coerced into carrying oat his wishes l To quote again from The Journal. we
 admit that we ought to have a re- | spectacle navy for police purposes on
 the seas and to comport with the dig
 nity of great republic. But doesn't 1 1t seem foolish to engage in mad
 race of building ten million dollar ships
 with England, Germany and the other powers who are bringing poverty upon their people with their immense milf tary burdens? Really. every warship
 that England builds is ours to all fn-
 tents and purposes. for England is and
 must remain our ally. in fact. whether
 she will or not. Canada Is her hostage

 out eyes to India and its teeming mil-
 lions of possible customers
 Looking at the matter from any reas- onabIe and sensible point of view. would 1t not be more creditable to us as nation, and more profitable to us as a people, to adopt the Bartholdt plan in preference to that of Roosevelt and his packers? We admit that the Mis- sourian's ideas may be too large, and that the spending of so much money on internal Improvements would not be good policy, and might lead to gross
 misuse of the public moneys There is "A ta a onod daa1 nf the money appropriated for rivers and harbors is not properly used. and it Is doubtless true that no little money Is spent or appropriated on streams that have no real claim to such aid. and all that can be done to and for them will not pay interest on the sums expended. No doubt a number of appropriations of this kind are solely for political pur- poses, but that is inevitable in our way of doing things.
 But admitting that all this Is true, and that Mir. Bartholdt places his mark too high, 1t is nevertheless true that his plan of spending the country's rev. enues is much better in every way than Roosevelt's. Of late there has been quite revival of interest in the question of water transportation. For a time within the not remote past, the railroads so spread and extended all over the country that water transperta- ton seemed threatened with paralysis if not with total extinction, but there has been so much justinable complaint of late with regard to congestion of freight and the shortage or inadequacy of railroad facilities that interest is again aroused, and, to quote once more from The Journal:
 The domestic commerce of the Unit ed States Is greater In volume than all foreign commerce, and far more import ant to our people. The development of our waterways--tfe noblest rivers in the world--would multiply and cheapen this commerce to an incalculable de- gree. If our rivers were improved and utilized as are those Of Germany and other progi essive nations. trade and between the States, would How in q re- sistless tide of permanent prosperity.
 The Journal winds up by asking which way would you voter" and which is the soundest propositionT' and they are questions which Congress- men may have to answer before 1t Is all over. There ought not to be any doubt as to what the result will be.

The little cold snap we have just encountered plnches Montgomery peo- pie somewhat. but if they would read the reports from New England they would think we were having a balmy visitation. Tn The Boston Globe of last Friday is printed temperature re- ports from about fifty stations in New England. and at but one of them was the temperature above zero. At one place in New Hampshire it was fifty degrees below, many of the stations showing twenty to thirty below. We

One of the most remarkable inn provements or advances that has ever been made In the way of railway con- struction is predicted by Amos H. Collins, a member of a large Pittsburg firm of steel rail manufacturers. If successfully carried out, it will be what we suppose might be called a foundry or rail-milI on wheels. The pig iron and all the materials and ma chinery required to convert that iron into steel rails will be mounted on suitably constructed fiat cars and drawn to the point where a track Is being laid. AS the roa6-bed is com. pleted and cross-ties laid, the rails will be manufactured ready for laying, and as the rail-making machine will Keep up with track-preparation, there will be no delay about getting the rails to the spot as fast as they are needed. Mir. Collins says that experi- ments are now being made which ln- dicate that the project win be suc- cess and that it will soon be in prac- tical operation. If so, it will be a great forward stride in railroad con- struction.
