DAUGHTERS OFs7T1E
 AMERICAN RE.VOLU77ON

ica--the nation of peace; America. the Christian nation--should now take the leadership in this great and noble world movement for an enduring and permanent peace; should take practi- cal measures for a great Congress like the one in New York, send out delegates to The Hague prepared to take advanced steps for a legislative body to negotiate general arbitration treaties with all nations, and call upon all the others to do likewise. In the meantime, let us not sit idly by and simply talk and argue and advise. Let us be prepared to do our part in help ing to determine the common affairs of the world. Let us not sit idly by and allow the military powers of the earth to go about expressing the weak and the helpless with might and brute force. Let us show tho world the path toward universal peace. Let us mark out the constitution and the Govern- ment. Let us give our support and our resources to that end; but meanwhile let us declare that we shall not have a weak arm for peace, any more than we had weak arm for liberty. Let us see to 1t that this nation shall be prepared to keep the peace with jus tice over the oceans of the earth, un- til the nations shall take steps where- by peace can be made permanent and enduring.

My countrymen and countrywomen' what nation has worked out such a system? Search the earth, and where do you find this local self government combined with a just voice in the management of the general govern ment? You find 1t nowhere except In America Here we have this great continent of ours. far-stretching from ocean to ocean, and from almost Arc tic to tropical climes; some sections of it manufacturing, others agricultu- ral, and others mining. And yet these forty-six States of ours live together in peace on this permanent basis, each State guaranteed the local manage ment of its own affairs. and also l. lowed a just voice in the nations af- fairs. They all transact that business, and trade and live together under the great central machinery of the Gov ernment. with it's three coordinate branches, the legislative. the executive and the Judicial It is meet and light that America should lead in this great organization of the world, because 1t must be, and it is going to be, the united nations of the earth, analogous to the United States of America.

Review of the Years Work of the Light
 Horse Harry Lee Chapter of the
 Daughters of the American
 Revolution.
 The interest in the meetings of the Light Horse Harry Lee Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution has been keen and unabating. Every month since October. 1906. has wit messed a gathering of the Daughters. Two meetings for strictly business. one historical. two social. two patriotic Washington's birthday and Flag Day one musical, and one literary. number ing eight in all, have kept the Daugh- ters in touch with each other. and the result of the work has been both pleas ant and profitable.
 Especial interest was exhibited at the historical meeting in March. held at the residence of Dr. O. M. Stead ham. Miss Mary Reese led the meeting on the early settlers of Auburn, when this territory was occupied by h. dians Many humorous and tragic in cidents were given of these early days. Among the guests were several elderly citizens of Auburn. who added largely to the pleasure of the evening by per- sonal "reminiscences.
 The Flag Day meeting was held with the Regent, Mrs. Duncan. Readings and recitations on flags were followed by a game of flags. Each guest drew a tiny d-painted flag. Each fiag represented a nation. and the guests were to give the flags their correct nationalities. The prize was a beauti- full hand painted flag of Alabama.
 By invitation of Mrs. J. F. Duggar one extra meeting of special mention was held at her home. pr. George Petrie had prepared paper on Ben jamin Franklin, The paper treated in a very interesting and entertaining manner of the early life and struggles

fore 1t in this tax rate. There will be n storm if the rate Is not materially reduced to meet the new assessment: This storm will strike the members of the Legislature when they go and will close some political careers. Indeed, 1t has become a dangerous thing for a man who wants to be in politics to go to the Legislature at all. There is all. ways danger in fixing Q tax rate and there is moro danger now than ever. We have come to a time when several things must be adjusted in Alabama. and the tax rate and tax assessments are before us right now. These must be fixed this month.

of Franklin. his marriage and pros perity. and of his later triumphs in serving his country as a diplomat. Many of his quaint phllosophies were woven into the story, and the chapter extended @ hearty vote of thanks to pr. Petrie for a pleasant and profitable evening.
 The last meeting of the year was held in May At this meeting, the re- ports of the old officers were read, and the officers for the ensuing year were elected. Three new members were added to the roll during the past year.

The Peace Conference.

Since the Peoce Conference, which has lately met at The Hague, has been of world wide note. 1t will be of in- terest to the Alabama D. A. R., to read some of the sentiments on that subject, from one of our own sons. We give extracts from the Address Of Captain Richmond Pearson Hobson, delivered at the Sixteenth concinanal Congress of the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution"

Lack of Bitterness.

It Is not so much the bare inscrip- tion on the monument erected at Salem Church by the 23rd New Jersey Regi, ment in honor of The Brave Alabama Boys" that causes us to stop and think; 1t Is the fraternal feeling which prompted 1t, that Is calculated to bring the soldiers of the civil war closer to- gether. Thus by pouring balm on old wounds, will it be shown that In tho hearts of the old soldiers all bitterness has died out. It is a noticeable fact that when old soldiers who have braved the dangers of the battlefield get together, all bitterness disappears and they talk dispassionately of the great Lost Cause" regretfully, maybe, but laying aside all resentment, know ing themselves brothers of common nation and united in the belief that whatever Is. is right"
 Just here I desire to say that like thousands who chose the tribunal of arms, I have no apology to make for the part I played in the great drama enacted during the four years from 1861 to '65. Those of us who did regarded the decision as unafterables when made. It Is true we love to bring out our old battle-f flags and look at them whenever an occasion of rejoicing occurs. I am sure our children will agree with us that taken at it's most 1t is but a harmless diversion. You don't find fault with a mother for bringing out the little shoes her dead baby wore and crying over them, you rather honor her for doing it. and when a people stake their all on cause they knew to be right, and when an army-for the most part composed of r1ere boys-go forth to battle for principle and watch friends and conl- rades go down to death like chan ne- fore the wind. for cause they love, it is hardly to Be expected that either would forget the princip8e for which they fought or the men who died to uphold It. With all that considered. an before stated, the old soldier who fought the fight while wearing she blue, down in his heart has never doubted but that the boys In gray had what the lawyers can a pretty fair case"

SPEECHES.. LOVER TELEPHONE
House Members Will Soon Be Able
to Listen to Speeches Miles Away.

Experiments recently conducted by
the Superintendent of the Capitol at
Washington have proved SO thorough
ly the value of the ACQUISITION" that
it Is expected that the device will
soon be permanently installed in the
House of Representatives.
The ACQUISITION is a sound intensifi-
er. having the appearance Of small
black metal disk. and will stand up
right on the Speakers desk. To the
disk is attached a cable. which con-
meets with any number Of ordinary
telephone wires. 1t Is intended that
these wires run to every committee
room and office in the Capitol build
ing, and to the Office rooms in the
new Congressional Office Building
when that is completed.
In each office will be an ordinary
telephone receiver, and In order to
know what is taking place on the floor
of the House person has merely to
place this receiver to his ear, when
every word spoken in the chamber
may be heard with perfect distinct
ness; as well, In fact, as IL one were
standing at the Speakers desk.
Thus a member will be able to keep
track of the course of Official business
without having to leave his office or
committee room until some bill comes
up in which he is interested.
While this has not yet been actually
demonstrated. there appears to be no
reason why an ordinary long distance
wire might not be connected with one
Of the ACQUISITION wires, and a member
in New York or Chicago listen to the
speeches being made in the House of
Representatives.
Another somewhat similar device,
planned for the more personal use OF
members, Is the photograph, by means
of which Representative may sit in
his office or walk up and down the
floor, and dictate to stenographer
several floors removed. When he has
finished, IL he desires to have the let.
ter read over to him, he may press a
button, and the stenographer's read
ing will be heard with distinctness
anywhere in the room.

THEIR Wages RAISED
LOCOMOTIVE engineers ON
ALL WESTERN RAILROADS.
Increase viii Amount to Five or Six
Million Dollars AnnualIy-1etweeN
5000 and 5000 Men Effected
First Time in History When all the
Roads Considered the Demands.

After daily negotiations which have
lasted several weeks, western rail-
roads have decided to give locomotive
engineers increased wages aggre-
eating between 100000 and $6,0OO,-
900 annually. The increase will AZ
feet between $4,000 and 10000 engt-
neers on all roads west Of Chicago
to the Pacific coast, north to the Can
adian border and south to the gulf OF
Mexico.
The negotiations were carried on by
a committee headed by Grand Chief
Engineer Stone and a number Of en-
gineers.
The advance will apply to ALI
classes Of engineers. On passenger
locomotives the engineers will re-
ceive s cent increase on 100 mile
runs. On freight engines the increase
will range between s and IL cents per
100 miles. In all the larger yards
the switch engineers will receive ad-
ditions of from SO to Is cents day,
with the assurance that they shall not
be sept out more than IL hours.
Apparently the spirit Of compromise
governed the negotiations, for the
engineers have practically agreed to
give up their contention fer an eight
hour day-that is, an eight hour day
with respect to being credited with a
run of 100 miles-have abandoned de-
mands regarding pay for overtime
and will not insist on their original
demand with regard to sight compe-
tency of engineers. The switch engi-
neers were refused an allowance OF
time and one-half for overtime in ex-
cess of two hours.
This is the first time in railroad HIS
tory that the demands of a labor Or
ganization have been considered by all
railroads in large territory. When
the joint demand was first made, the
railroads refused to treat with the
engineers as a whole, preferring to
deal with them on each road. Chief
Stone was firm, however, in his re-
fusal to confer with the railroads ex-
cept as a whole. The railroads final
ly agreed to appoint a committee to
meet the body represented by Chief
Stone and the settlement would in
dictate that new method Of dealing
with labor delegations had been
adopted. There are many details OF
the new wage schedule still to ar
range. and the negotiations will last
until next week.
