 The railroad managers are the only people who have consistently and sin cerely evaded publicity through the press, and they sidestepped only in the matter of accidents. Now they see the folly of trying to be secre- tive. It is a policy which creates dis trust on the part of the public, and whenever railroads or any other kind of business undertakes to be secret in it's dealings with the public, lack of confidence on the part of the public follows, and when that comes adverse Legislation is sure to follow.
 The railroads have brought down upon themselves the state and federal statutes against which they now so bitterly complain. Much of this law is just; some of it no doubt unjust to the railroads. But in time matters will adjust themselves on a basis equitable to the railroads and to the 'people.
 The railroads and other trusts are beginning to learn that the people are no longer to be ignored in affairs so vital to their welfare, and that in fu- ture they must be taken into consid- eration in every question involving the public veal.

THE PEOPLE MUST BE CONSID-
 FRED.


 MT. Hartman has issued orders that full reports shall hereafter be made and given promptly to the press concerning all accidents occurring on all railroads of which he is the head. This order includes the Union Pacit: and the Southern Pacific systems, as well as the Oregon lines. The follow ing sensible reasons are given for the order:
 Personal responsibility for acci- dents, whether officers or laborers, should be known to the public. We must bring about closer observance Of the rules and greater respect for dan ger signals than we now get from our employees. This can be done by the widest publicity of accidents.
 Tt is believed that a policy consist entity and regularly followed of pub fishing complete accounts of all acci- dents will result in giving the public a more exact idea of the actual causes, and so create public opinion that will enable railroads to enforce better discipline.
 Reports of the interstate com merce commission emphasizes the ne cessity for this move. According to these reports over 70 per cent (317 out of 44S) of the serious collisions on American railways in the past five years were due to the negligence of

PASSING OF THE SERMON.

Is the day of sermons past? Are they out of date? It is, they are, says Rev Johnston Myers, of 1mmanuel Baptist church, of Chicago. He says:
 Mere preaching ceases to hold large place in the work of the church nowadays. People are tired or It. However, it is given still more or less prominent place and the clergy men are still trying to preach, with certain amount of success. Compared with the congregations of a few years ago, and considering the enlarged size of the neighborhoods from which they have to draw, there are few large congregations in the country today as large as those to which Beecher, Tal- mage and Sturgeon preached. There has been a great change. The preach ing is as good, it is true, end the preachers now are as great as they nsed to be. But this is not the age of the sermon. Ours is the age of per. sonal work. Considering the cheap ness of printing and the wide circula- tion of printed good literature, it is 3 marvel that people come to hear the preacher now. I believe they only come from feeling of sense of duty. It. is not because they are interested, but to please us who do the preach ing. The real reason sermons are go' ing out of date is because we fall to get definite results from the sermon. It is always an individual who leads person to religion. This is shown by the small number of converts.
 The Nashville American does not believe that if preachers would preach the strong, powerful sermons of straight, undiluted doctrine that were preached fifty years ago by bold. earnest men there would be no lack of pledges or converts, and says such a view is chiefly fancy, and the American is correct. There would probably be even fewer hearers, and while some converts might be obtaln- ed through fear, there would not De many accessions to the church. The old-time sermon frightens nobody much any more. There are changes in church methods as we'll as in oth- CT things, and even beliefs are reyis- ed or modified, though there is not ai- ways admission of this. The sermon has not lost it's power. 1t still de- bends upon the man. Many go to church from sense of duty, or as a matter of policy. and are bored by dull or stupid or vapid uninterest- ing preaching. The preacher who knows how to appeal to the intellec! and to reach the human heart Will not lack for auditors. The church goers were always in the minority. That they are now is no sign of de- cadence. In the country people go to church because there is nowhere else to go. In the city there are oth' CT things to divert their attention. The mere assemblage does not attract them. They see crowds every day Religion is not losing it's grip. It IS more rational and universal. Go into a crowd of men of affairs, and you will find many if not most of them church members or at least reverent believers in some faith.

Sembled in the city of HolSington
Oct 22d and %, 1907. In the alb.
sence Of the president the vice presi-
dent presided 50 delegates being
present One of the most gratifying
features of the convention and one
that we were proud Of, was the fact
that the programe as printed was
ca ried out and promptly responded
TO which had the effect of inspiring
enthusiasm and interest.
Therefore be it resolved
That We thank the christian people
for the use of their church the citi-
zenS of Hoisington for their hospital
ty in the entertaining of delegates,
We express our glatutitude to the
executive committee for securing the
splendid help from abroad in the
person of Clifford E. Rash of Salina
whose brilliant thoughts and exper.
fence entbused US with new deter.
minatiou as christian workers.
We also thank J. H. Eugle our
State Secretary for his presence and
efficient help, also Rev. Sell of Great
Bend whose spiritual, address was
reol food for our souls and made us
feel that that more than paid for the
time spent in convention.

subscription Rates Advancing.

Beginning January first next the
Great Bend Tribune and the Barton
County Democrat will advance their
subscription rate to $3.50 per year.
1t is onlya matter Of a short time
until all weekly papers will be forced
to raise their subscription price,
And why no.! Within the past few
years everything has increased in
price, except the products Of the
printer. Type has advanced so per
cent within the past half dozen years,
print paper has doubled, the better
grades Of paper have materially ad-
vanced in price, wages have advanc-
ed, in fact everything In the printing
line as we'll as in other lines have ad.
advanced, yet the printer charges the
same subscription rates and the same
old prices for the products Of his job
department. There are less real
business men in the printing business
than in any other, for business men
do business on business principles.
The News has been seriously contem-
plating increasing both its subscrip.
ton and advertising rates, and may
decide to do so later. 1t is more than
likely that such action will be taken

 Drastic Foreign Loan

Preliminary plans for the holding of the annual convention of the Alabama Commercial and Industrial Association have almost been completed by the ex- ecutive officers of the Association
 After conference with the officials in Selma, having in charge the entertain ment of the members of the Alabama bodies, the executive officers of the As- sociation have managed to have the date of the holding of the meeting changed from June 25-26 to July 3 and 4.
 Captain A. G. Forbes, President of the local Commercial Club and of the State organization. has announced the following committee to arrange for the speakers and topics of discussion: F s. Ball, Chairman; F. P. Glass, F. P. Chaffee, O. o. Nelson and Emanuel Meertief. The Committee will begin work at once. and report their en- deavors to the officers at the earliest possible moment.
 Chief among the topics to be dis cussed will be the bill recently passed in the Legislature taxing foreign cor porations lending money in this State The legislation has been pronounced by all of the Commercial Clubs of the State drastic and likely to prove harm ful to the State.
 A petition that has been tent tc Montgomery promoters from Bifm.ng- ham explains the law that Is pr6vins the subject of kick to the business men throughout Alabama, and requests their name and influence in having tho measure repealed In the coming session
