STATE RAILWAY
ISSUE IN. ENGLAND
BRITISH UNfoNIsTs uRGEr TO

London, Dec. 16.-State OWNERSHIP
OF English railways is urged on the
unionist party as one of the most
plausible planks in the platform with
which it is thought it may soon be
called to go before the country.
Those persons of powerful influence
who promote this theory, so strange
at present in this country. do not ex-
pect that it will take the public fancy
at once or be realized for some time
ii ever. But, as Lord Brassey said at
a conference OF the south coast may
ors at Dover. the scheme is at least
possible and has many obvious ad-
vantages to all the commercial in
terests of the kingdom
Lord 5rassey Sounds Warning.
The spirit of combination has been
growing fast among the railway COM
panies, which have had a taste of it
lately. In running their northward
lines. as well as those connecting
with the continental boat service,
they found they could economic on
money men and time. Thus from
their position the project looked rosy.
But was this, asked Lord Brassey,
good for the general public? The lat
ter might find itself in the position of
the American farmer and merchant.
practically forced 10 pay what the
railroads asked, because no success
full competition had any chance
against the all-powerful transporta-
ton system. Thus from the action
of these combined companies must
inevitably come public control.
Issue Would Not Be Dodned.
The issue continued Lord Brassey,
would not be lodged in England, as
it had been in the United States For
should be substituted for private con
troll the railways would be managed
by body of able business men
whose first attention would be given
TO the public interest, but who would,
nevertheless, run the railways if pos
sible at profit for the state, even
though carrying economy as far as
might be commensurate with public
comfort.
Other speakers asserted that no
doubt as soon as the country had
chance to study the idea as thorough
ly as it had studied certain other
theories lately put before it there
would be majority in favor of such
an enlightened innovation.

CONGRESSIONAL SUMMARY,

Wa hington, D. c.. Dec. 10-The
senate held short session during
which an agreem ent was reached for
taking up the omnibus claims bill.
Monday with the understanding that
it shall not interfere with the con-
liberation of the postal savings bill or
any other measure in which senators
are especially interested. Senator
Lodge gave notice that he would on
next Wednesday speak on the Browns
vile bill to authorize the re-enlistment

At no time was there even a sembl-
ance of a quorum in the house. Soon
after converting the legislative appro-
priatfon bill was presented and sever
al bill were passed, among them one
authorizing the removal of the imposi-
ton of the loss of citizenship upon d
serters in the military and naval serv-

fculties between employers and en-
ployes. It's consideration was not

Washington, Dec 12.--In the house
a wrangie occurred on a resolution
fixing the boundary line between Colo
RADIO. Oklahoma and New Mexico,
which was adopted by a good ma
jority, but not without two roll calls.
The house, by decisive vote, refused
to further consider tie bill providing
for the arbitrary settlement of dis
putes between employers and EN-
ployes. The question of states rights
figured prominently in the debate on
a bill providing for the protection of
aliens in the Uniter States, in accord
ance with treaties entered into with
foreign powers. The bill designed
to relieve the United States from
what was stated on the floor by Con.
gresham Sherley of Kentucky to be
an embarrassing and often humidi
tating pos ton arising from its inabil.
ity to make good the OBJ igation of its
treaties for the protection of for.

of the measure practically were unit

GUIDE GOOD THINGS.


Birmingham Farmers Guide.
 A great many persons are gifted III grumbling at what others do, in what they do themselves We would not want a monopoly of all meanness 1n our acts or dispositions.
 We should not overwork ourselves, but go along quietly doing our best and trusting that if we do that the Lord will see to His part and not leave us to want.
 If the farmers have enough corn planted we cant help but believe 1T they have good seasons from this on they will gather good crop, which they should not waste, but put into hog meat.
 The farmers should be careful in their savings. It might fill up blank in their losses. Every end should be made to meet in this way.
 There is no need of the FARMER being afraid of the Union going into politics. Let the politicians lose sleep along that line.
 The Farmers Union is farm build CT. not a town builder, but its object is far from wanting to destroy any thing or class.
 There is a difference in the way you want a thing to be and the way 1t IS sometimes. People often have their statements according to sentiment 1n- stead of cold, bare facts. Do you know that in the great wind-up IL Is facts that count?
 Our trials and struggles are mainly intended for our instruction. Nature is the greatest teacher of all, put sometimes nature applies the lash too harshly. It seems that 1t did that this spring. We should not complain but try to be more obedient and stu dious.

There are thousands of men and
 women in the fields of the Southwest today who will work all the year and sell only cotton at the end of the sea- son (if not advanced" for to it's full value). These men should count the costs and then they will quit the one crop system. Many of these men and women are mere drudges and know it not. They have no time to stop and wipe the sweat from their faces and to see what their relations are to the world. They are in a. rut. To such the teachings of Farm and Ranch come like water to men in a dry land. How to grow other crops, the profits of living at home, the pleasures of the independent man who is not without hope-all these put life into the droop- ing heart, nerve the arm and point the way to better things.
