THE question of responsibility for the
quality of steel rails now being furnish
ed the railroads is likely to be threshed
out by the railroads and the steel trust
in the near future. The public is more
interested, however, in having the quail
ity raised than it is in having the res
possibility located The charges made
by the Scientific American and The
Railway Gazette, to the effect that the
steel trust is responsible for the infer
Tor quality of the steel rails now in use,
and therefore for innumerable wrecks,
caused by broken rails, precipitated the
discussion. The Iron Age answers this
charge by declaring that the railroads
can have better rails if they will pay
for them, and adds that the increase in
the speed Of trains and the weight of
loads has been out of all proportion to
the increase in quality Of steel used or
required. While both sides to the con-
troversy have their champions, 1t is
likely that by having the issue drawn
out into the limelight there will be Il
disposition, both on the part of the rail
roads and the makers of steel, to pro-
tect themselves, as far as possible,
from further criticism of this character.
All of which will undoubtedly work to
the advantage Of the travelling public.

Milwaukee Journal: The Pennsylvania
road has lifted the bar to men over 40
years old and will now employ them up
to 40, because labor is scarce. If the
man over 40 or As has to look forward
to discharge as soon as the big corpor-
alton can find a younger man for his
place he II not want their job. Even for
the young man to look forward to an
insecure tenure as soon as he reaches
the prime of life is not encouraging

ployers on those terms.

Era of Great Strikes Passing.

Washington, D. C.-According to
Carroll D. Wright, who was commis-
sioner Of labor for a number of years,
and is now president Of Worcester
University, the era of great strikes
is passing away. In the place of in
dustrial strikes the conciliation plan
is being adopted.
In an interview here Mr.. Wright
says the tendency is against the great
strikes which were numerous from
the early seventies onward. He be-
lieves the tendency is against them
more strongly than it has ever been
in recent years, but that they served
an effective purpose-that of teach
ing capital what labor wanted and
teaching labor more about capital.
The effect Of such strikes was loss
both to employers and employed.
Mr.. Wright contends that while lit
tie is heard of it, all over the country
employers and laborers are getting
together in spirit of conciliation. .
Greater efficiency on the part or
the man who has an industrial duty
to perform is another tendency OF
the times noted by Mr.. Wright.

Doo More to Him Than His Wife.

Apparently actuated by his fond
ness for pet dog of mixed breed
rather than his love for his wife,
Moses H. Rothermel, Of Blandon, Pa,
came to this city in pursuit of his wife,
who it is charged, had eloped with
William Manning and had the dog
with her.
"Ah, my dog, my dog" said Rother-
mel, ignoring his vile and Manning.
Il love this deg, and l would not part
with him for money or anybody
Mrs. Rothermel's father swore ont
a. warrant, On which she and Manning
we're arrested. The husband was at
the hearing, with his dog under his
arm, but did not testify. The defen-
dants were taken back to Blandon.--

Pink Burial Gowns Latest Mode

indianapolis, Ind.-Death is grow
ing "out of the reach of the poor
man" Fashion is establishing a
claim in the death chamber and dy-
ing is to become luxury in a way.
F. H. W. Graber, who is attend
ing the twenty-seventh annual con-
vention of the Indiana Funeral Dl-
rectors' Association, says many things
have contributed to make burials in
the year 1907. much greater than IN
1905. In the shroud display of the
company, Mr.. Graber represents, are
two or three pink dresses for young
women-a radical departure from the
white. black, gray and occasional Law
ender gowns of other times. He
saws that during recent months his
firm has had calls for short sleeVed
waists in keeping with the fashion

snat Out Bullet and Three Teeth.

Henry Ricka, a colored man, is con-
graduating himself because he once
possessed a set of remarkably strong
and toughly-planted teeth. Alas! three
of them are gone, but they probably
saved his life.
They also, in all probability saved
Frederick Cooper from being arraign-
ed on charge of murder.
Cooper and Ricka had quarrel
and the former pulled gun and fired.
The bullet hit Ricka square in the
mouth.
Ricka looked his astonishment for
second or two, and then made every
body sit up and take notice.
He calmly spat the bullet out OF his
mouth and three teeth with it.
Then he walked off to the Homeo-
pathic Hospital for repairs.
He was not badly hurt.-Wilmlng-
ton Dispatch to the Philadelphia In
uirer.

Railroad Assessments Doubled.

The state board of assessors have
fixed the assessment of railroad prop
erty in the tate at s64,50000G. which
is double that of last year. This was
the result of adopting a resolution
from Attorney General Lyon that the
law forbids: the GO per cent basis of
assessment now customary through
out the state.
The Coast Line is jumped up from
$4,000 mile to $4,000; the South
ern from $4,000 to $4,000; the Sea-
board from $4,000 to $4,000 a mile.

DEARTH OF MEN
FOR THE MINISTRY
Discouraging Report by the Board of
Education to the Presbyterian
General Assembly.


Columbus, Ohio.-In its report to
the Presbyterian General Assembly
the Board Of Education said:
The board has been made aware
that it's solicitude over the present
period of decline in the number and
quality of candidates presenting
themselves for the gospel ministry is
shared by the boards of education of
other denominations.
Word has come from the Episco-
pal, Methodist and Lutheran bodies
that the falling off, so noticeable. a
few years ago, is beginning to have
it's direct effect on the church.
Dissatisfaction is felt in many
quarters over the inability of the
churches to secure the highest type
of consecrated manhood for the min
istry.
Pulpit vacancies for distressing)y
long periods are more and more no
ticeable, and complaints are. heard
from committees on pulpit supply as
to their inability to fill satisfactorily
the places of those who are dropping
from the ranks of the ministry.
1T is with grave concern that the
church at large should know the facts
that in thirty evangelical theological
seminaries in our country the church
is about 400 men short Of the num-
Der studying ten years ago, despite
the country's increase Of 100000
in population.
There are one-third less men stu
dying for the ministry of the Presby-
terian church than ten years ago, and
yet the membership of our branch Of
the Presbyterian church has increased
during that period from 1,024,000 to
100000.
"Ten years ago there was one can
didate for every $40 church men,
bers, to-day there is one candidate
for every 1910 members.
''Is it not thereforeincumbent upon
the church to engage in importunate
prayer in behalf of the sons of the
church, that more of them may be
led to turn a deaf ear to the solicita-
tions of a commercially prosperous
age, and to consecrate their talent to
the work of the ministry"

COTTON CROP IN BAD WAY
Is Assertion of President Of Georgia
Seed Crus1ers' Association.

Seed Crusners' Association.
Reports from all sections OF the
south, as given by the members OF
the Interstate Cotton Seed Crushers'
Association at jamestown last week."
said L. A. Ransom, newly elected
president of that organization, who
has returned to Atlanta, indicate that
the cotton crop of the south is today
worse off than it has been at this
time of the season in years. In fact,
We got such distressing reports as
to tie necessity for replantirg that
the association passed resolutions
pledging the various cotton seed Oil
mills in the association to furnish
cotton seed at a moderate cost for
replanting from our supply on hand
for crushing.
I'VE realize what poor condition
the crop is in and how hard it is
going to be to get a stand, and are
very anxious to help the planters In
every way possible. These reports
were not. formal, but came from ev'
cry one OF the 600 delegates at this
convention from every cotton-growins
state in the union.
Mr.. Ransom is enthusiastic over the
convention and declares it the moss
successful ever held. He states that
DR.. H. w. Wiley, the head of the
United States pure food commission,
made the association talk, in which
he declared the south could not con-
ceiye the possibilities in cotton seed
oil and it's by-products, which COM
modify is now in it's infancy. Hon.
J. NJ. Carson, chief of the bureau OF
manufacturers in the department OF
commerce and labor, was also guest
and speaker. He read a specially pre-
pared pamphlet, which gave reports
from all of the United States consuls
on the subject Of this great southern
product, which had been compiled Tor
this association through the Offices OF
the state department, 1t was through
him that Hon. J. L. Benton of Geor-
gia was appointed United States ex-
pert abroad and his first report on
the market for cotton seed oil and It's
by-products was read at this meet
ing.
Mr.. Ransom states that one OF the
chief changes in the rules, as adopt
ed by the convention, was where by
the food value of cotton seed meal
giving the protein and fat percent
age in addition to the ammonia value
for export trade. This does not al
feet home commodity, but is simply
additional information for the export.
The Georgia delegation with its
snecial train has returned to the state
and this was followed by special trains
from Texas, Tennessee and South Car
olina. The place for the next meeuns
will be decided by the executive COM
mittee at later date. It will be an
nounced from, Atlanta, the headquar-
ters Of the association. .
