eral appropriations with which to de- velop their industries.
 To illustrate the unprecedented growth of federal supervision and con- people. at the solicitation or with the consent of the States. will call at. tention to the extent of the special agent and inspection service ten years through this service that supervision and control over the domestic affairs of the people are exercised by the fed eral government In the year 1S96 the inspectors and special agents employed those employed in th& treasury. the postoffice and the interfor departments, where that service can be legittmately employed to protect the revenue. the all told 160, and this service cost the government in 1896, in round numbers, &1.300,000. In 1907 the federal govern ment has employed an army of three full regiments of inspectors and special agents. 5000 men, and this service is now costing tho American people about $9,000.000, while the full quota hereto fore authorized has not yet been ap- pointed or appropriated for or. aa The nun. 2. therefore many times greater than in 1896, and the cost has increased more than 700 per cent in these ten years.
 We hear 1t said that whatever enters
  and whatever affects the welfare of the people of more than one State, logical iy falls within the provisions of the national government, and this is made an apolozy for such authorizations and expenditures as I have referred to, and for many other demands upon the fed eral treasury which the Congress has not yet seen fit to grant.
 But can any one name a single im- portant matter which does not affect the people of more than one State?
 Is there any phase of any great in dustry which does not come within the scope of interstate commerce? In short, is there any important private undertaking these days which cannot, upon some such pretext, be brought within the control of the federal gov ernment?
 I would call attention to the fact and endeavor to impress upon every one the direction in which all this Is tending. This tendency Is greatly weakening the power of the States, and, what is far more to be deprecated. 1t is also weak ening, the respect of the people for the authority of the States.
 It is causing the people to ignore and forget all those wise considerations which led the founders of our govern ment to provide for local self govern ment by reserving to the States all governmental powers not expressly conferred by the Constitution upon the federal government.

DR. TENNILLE PASSES AWAY Sudden Death of We'll Known Physician. HAD ATTENDED THE RACES Taken III at His Home After
 Returning.
 Deceased Was we'll Known fin Business Circles Here and in Other Cities Was once Mayor Of Troy. -s..
HAD ATTENDED THE RACES

pr. A. St. Clair Tennille, physician and well known promoter, died at his home, 504 Washington Street. last night about 10 o'clock the end coming unex- pectedly from an attack of acute in digestion. No warning of his approach ing end had been noticed by his fam lily until few moments before his death and when 1t came 1t was too late to summon medical aid.
 The death of Dr. Tennille will be a great surprise to his many friends in Montgomery and throughout Alabama and Georgia. Yesterday afternoon, bright and cheerful, as was the cus- tom with him, the physician spent his hours of enjoyment as an interested observer of the races at Vandiver Park. Returning to Montgomery and to his home, no complaint of illness was made by him until a short while before his demise, and when it was made 1t was merely to the effect that he had pain in his chest.
 Going to his room, the physician had doffed his clothes preparatory to re- tiring when faintness from the indiges- tion came upon him. his life going out almost immediately thereafter.
 Few men in Montgomery were better known that Dr. Tennille.
 As a physician, a man of culture and refinement, and as a business man, he was loved and revered by hosts of friends and acquaintances. His busi- [ ness life in Montgomery, however. was the one in which capacity he was gen. erally known, hence his popularity was not confined to those of his profession but to the masses as well.
 Dr. Tennille was born in Tennille Washington County, Georgia. 6S years ago. While still a youth, the family of the deceased moved to Fort Gaines Ga, where his early education was ir part received. From Fort Gaines. tht family of Dr. Tennille moved to Jackson

PASSENGER COACHES DERAILED AT WARNER

The train which left this city Sun day morning, going south on the Iron Mountain, met with a small accident at Warner. While the train was pass ing in front of the station, the two back cars jumped the track. One Of the cars was very easily gotten back on, but he other derialed car could not be pulled on again and was left. Neither of these cars were Pullmans, the Pullmans being ahead of them in the line of coaches. The reason for the accident was that the iron pieces which hold the track together, in some manner were broken and caused a spreading of the rails. No one was hurt, though the train was delayed about half an hour.

We admit, might suggest intrigue and bombs and Cossaok whips, but as a matter of fact Spitzfausky is inspector of weights and measures of Kansas City, and, according to the JJournal, his claim to present attention rests upon the fact that he is doing his duty without the beating of tomtoms, newspaper i11- terviews or spotlight.
 Not long ago it occurred to Spitz- caufsky that the Kansa City ice trust might be robbing the public by using wagon scales that register ed falsely. He made an investiga- ton and found that the scales used by the trust wagons registered as high as 16O pounds for an actual weight of 100 pounds. That he didn't immediately arrest the culp- able drivers of the wagons is mere- ly incidental. When he discovered this organized system of plundering the public he requested" that the drivers regulate their scales. He gave them two weeks for this opera ton and then he made another se- ries of tests. There was no deny- ing that the drivers were giving short weights, and Spitzcaufsky ar reested J. s. Mahoney, driver for the Peoples Ice and Fuel Company, as starter. It is said Mahoney did not deny the charge of having falsely registering the scalees on his wagon, a1d he was fined $25.
 Every city needs Spitzcaufsky. In this day and generation, greed and graft seem to be prevalent everywhere, and "eternal vigilance is the price of liberty"
