Washington, Jan. 30-The senate
yesterday began its session with u
lecture from Senator Hale who con
tended that too much talking and not
enough work was being done. lie

ity to secure the passage of the diplo-
matte and consular and Notifications
calendar
Before the session ended these fwC
measures had been disposed of.
Senator Beveridge concluded his
speech in advocacy of his child labor
bill which has occupied three days.
His argument yesterday was devoted
to the constitutional power of congress
to prohibit interstate commerce in
child-made goods. He was questioned
somewhat closely by senators who
hold that this power does not exist
and in reply he took the broad ground
that the power of congress over tntel
state and foreign commerce was abso-
lutte, that such commerce could be
prohibited altogether as far as the
power was concerned, and that in all
cases the question of policy and not Of
power was the point to be considered.
The Notifications appropriation bill
carrying $2,O41, 706 passed. Senator
Perkins secured an increase Of $780,

MONTGOMERY NOT EXEMPT.

The anti-railroad legislation has caused the indefinite postponement of the building of extensive freight ter minals In Montgomery by the Atlantic Coast Line. The plans already made and adopted and on which work was expected to begin this fall will not be carried out.
 This is a local news item, published Tuesday morning. Montgomery, with the remainder of Alabama, must feel the result of Alabama warfare waged on prosperity. Nothing else could have been expected. Not that this Is the first time the city has suffered from the state administration's rage at capi- tai, but it is the most recent.
 Montgomery's growth and prosperity has been so vital that we might have felt that nothing could stay the city. But we were forgetting that the lar ger part of the capital which inspired that growth was borrowed. The act which practically barred foreign mon- ey lending companies from Alabama chilled the ardor of the men who were most responsible for the city's growth, for they knew how the money came.
 Company after company withdrew from the State. The Legislature, alarmed by the harm already done. repealed the obnoxious law, but the Governor to the last minute demanded it's retention. Some of the companies did not come back, nor will they. There are too many other places where money can be invested.
 And the rate on money has been higher this Fall than at any time since the beginning of the era of pros perity. and money for building pur-
