TWO KINDS OF CITIZENS.

Patriotism manifests itself in many
and various ways. Some people are
willing to die for their country and a
few are willing to live for their country,
which is much harder. Some are eager
to show their patriotism by holding a
job at fat salary, and some are willing
to vote the party ticket straight-just
because it is the party ticket. Patrio-
tism, says Walter Williams, is often
another name for pride.
The small ways in which patriotism
may be shown seldom attract attention.
A soldier attacks the enemy of his
country, and we call the soldier pa
triot. But it is patriotic also to cut
down the weeds on your back lot. The
soldier gives his life in a day, but the
scientist, who gives his life in a gene
ration, is also patriotic.
Two kinds of citizens are in every
town-patriots and traitors. There is
no middle ground of neutrality. Every
man is in one or the other camp. The
patriot does his full duty to the commu-
nifty; votes, expresses his opinion, takes
part in meetings for civic good, bears
cheerfully his portion of the commu-
nity's work. The traitor lets the other
fellow do the work and reaps benefit by
the other fellows patriotism. Treason
consists of levying war against the re-
public-so says the foundation law
or giving aid and comfort to her enc
mics. He gives aid and comfort to the (,
public enemies wao does not assist in |
making better the community in which |
he dwells. He is himself a public |

INTERURBAN SERVICE MAY BE RESUMED
The Long Beach Sage of The New 0rlean.
Picayune Sends That information to His
Paper.

Long Beach, Miss, Jan. 29.-It is re-
ported on the Coast, as having come
from prominent official of the Louis
vile and Nashville Railroad, that the
Company will construct a second track
along its right of way, parallel to its
present track, to be used for its inter-
urban service, which will either be oper-
ated as an electric line or will be
equipped with motor cars. 1t is believed
that this decision has been reached be-
cause of the rapid growth of some of
the towns along the coast. The service
which has been in effect was so inter
fered with by freight and through pas
senger trains that the convenience it
offered was greatly impaired. While
the loss through the removal of the
shuttle trains is partially met by the
continuance Of the service on the eiec-
trio line, there are many towns which
are not reached by the Jones Line, and
which consider the removal of the shut
tie trains hardship.-N. O. Pieayune,
Jan. 80.

DELAYED TRAINS AND MAILS.

The New Orleans Times-Democrat ha
been conducting a campaign of exposur
and daily prints the arrivals of the va
rious trains, showing startling condi
ton. Trains are anywhere from or

mittees on postal affairs, the Louisiana

Governors Vardaman and Blanchard and
the commercial organizations of the
two States with a view of forcing main
tenance of schedules under heavy pen
atty and the allotment of the new pos
tai district, with New Orleans as the
center.
The New Orleans Progressive Union
has made a vigorous onslaught upon
Washington and at the same time has
called time on the railroads in the mat
ter of train service and has issued raj :
lying call for Mississippi and Louisiana
to join issues in fighting for better mail
facilities, adequate train service and
maintenance of schedules. Philip Wer-
lein is the author of movement, which,
shoule it go through, will entirely re-
volutionize the railway mail service of
this section Of the country. At a meet
ing of the Progressive Union Mr.. Wer-
lein offered a resolution demanding of
the Postoffice Department reallotme Mt
of the railway mail district. Under the
present system New Orleans and the
surrounding territory are under the ju-
risdlctiOn of Atlanta on the east and
Fort Worth on the west, and the small
est to the most serious difficulties must
be referred to one of those two places.
Under the Werlein plan new postal
district will be formed of Louisiana and
Mississippi, Panama and Porto Rico, as
we'll as having supervision of the mails
to Mexican, Central and West Indian
ports not under the flag of the United
States.
The fight has stirred the entire sec
,tion as all are affected, from the largest
cities to the remotest rural route, and
there is universal demand that the rail
roads and. Post Offic3 Depart ltll.lct4c mus,
undergo change in methods.

If | ONLY HAD CAPITAL.

The above words were recently ut
tered in our hearing by worthy boy
and undoubtedly they are often reiter-
ated by many who are out of employ
ment, or have little or nothing to do
To all such we say, you nave home capi-
tai; you have hands, feet, bone, muscle,
| health, and are not these capital? What
| more capital has God given anybody
But if I only had a few thousands in
cash capital" says the young man.
"But these are better than cash capital,
for no one can take them from you, and
with these you can earn cash.
Our men of wealth and influence did
not start with any cash capital. They
went to work with their plow, the hoe,
the jack plane or ak, and in time their
capital brought them a rich harvest.
All! but there's the rub; you don't
want to work. You want money on
credit, so you can play the gentleman,
speculate and end your career by play
ing vagabond. You want to marry
rich girl who will support you, while
you wear fine clothes, smoke cigars and
be gentleman of leisure.
Shame on you, young man! Go to
work with the capital you have, and you
will soon make interest enough upon it
to give you as much money as you need.
If you cannot make money upon
what capital you have, you could not
if you had larger amount in-cash. Ii
you waste your present capital, you
would waste money if you had it. So

you can get to do, and do it we'll. AL

TOUCHING APPEAL FOR ERRING SON.
Poet Thompson, Brother of Maurice Thompson
Argues Before Jury in Murder Trial.

Tacoma, Wash, Jan. 3t.-Attorney
Will H. Thompson, the poet, brother of
Maurice Thompson, the novelist, today
began his address to the jury in behalf
Of his son, Chester, who, for seven
weeks, has been on trial charged with
the murder of Judge Emery at Seattle.
His address was an oratorical effort of
great strength and brought tears to the
eyes Of the Judge and jury. Even the
attorneys for the State were overcome.
The aged attorney recited from his own
poem, "The High Tide at Gettysburg"
and commented on the fact that he had
been Confederate soldier. He de-
clared that he loved his boy and that he
loved the law alike, and that he would
not make an appeal for the son that was
not within the law.
