PROPOSITION FOR
 INCREASING ARMY
GENERAL DAVIS SPEAKS IN FAVOR OF STEVENSON BILL FOR MAX ING THE STATE MILITIA MORE EFFECTIVE.

Washington. February 17.-Brigadier cate general U. S. A., addressed the House committee on militia today in support of the Steenerson military bill for the organization along effective lines of the national guards of the sev- eral states. Among the provisions of the bill Is one specifically empowering the President to call out the militia in defense of the country without pre- vious declaration of war by Congress. This provision, General Davis remarked, is within the intent of the constitu- tion but lacks expression in the statutes When a man enlists in the militia, he said, he actually enlists as well in the regular army and is sub feet at any time to be ordered into the field as a part of the federal forces, the policy of the United States being to have theoretically available an armed and drilled body of 250,000 men at all times. 100000 to take the field as regu lars and 15O 900 as militia at the first call to war To so increase the ef- ficlency of the militia that it would be prepared at all times for such a call was the object of the bill. The bill provides for joint annual encampments of the regular and militia forces. the pay of each to be the same, and au- thorizes the detailing of regular army officers to militia regiments.

created in many of the southern and eastern states, including Alabama. As is apparent to every fair minded, right thinking man, there Is great. need of such a commission to thoroughly investi- gate the apparent confiscatory laws re- gently enacted relating to railroads in this and other southern and eastern states. I am of the opinion that in the event such a commission should be named for Alabama it should consist of three men, namely: One retired railway offi- cer. one retired manufacturer, and one retired farmer I think each should be retired from active service of his pro- fesson or business.
 The interest of public service corpora tions and the public are identical, the one cannot prosper without the other receiving corresponding benefits; and the one cannot suffer without the other feel ing the status.
 I am glad to see the feeling of antag- onism between the public service corpora tions and the public subsiding. Pros perity cannot be resumed until such con- ditions are thrown aside. I feel tAat the time is near at hand when the great masses of thinking people will devise means that are fair to both and that our governors and legislators will be men who. realize the importance of closer co-opera- ton with the public carriers, and the people and railway managers will do all they can to bring about true har- mony and friendly feeling that should exist, rather than pursue the course that a great many have pursued during the past few years, which has cost this coun- try untold millions.
 Peace and prosperity are the call of the nation. Let's strive to restore both; lest we regret. J. MORGAN FLOWERS. t

LETTERS TO THE --DITOR.
Need for Harmony.
Editor of The Age-Herald:

To the Editor of The Age-Herald;
 Slowly, but it seems surely, the courts are annulling the many acts of the va- rious legislatures of the past year In their apparent rash onslaughts upon the reve- nues of our railways. It will be re- membered that Governor Hughes vetoed the legislative act of the New York gen. eral assembly which put railroad fare on a 2-cent per mile basis.
 Now the Pennsylvania supreme court has declared the 2-cent rate passed by the legislature of that great and populous state void and confiscatory. It appears that the decision in Pennsylvania will be far reaching in its effects. because as a matter of fact if 2-cent rate Is confiscatory in state as thickly pop ulated as Pennsylvania, then surely in nearly all the other states there would be no doubt of confiscation. In New York and several other states the question of rates will hereafter be decided by their public service commissions am quite sure that such a commission should be

Cincinnati February I7.-Pursuant with the provisions of the Hepburn act against transportation of coal In which the carrier has an interest, announce ment was made today, that the Louis vile and Nashville Railroad company has disposed of its holdings in the Louisville Property company to indi- vidual Louisville and Nashville stock holders. The railroad, known as the Property company, bought thousands of acres of coal lands in southwestern Kentucky and built spur tracks to them. The lands were leased to coal companies.
 While the new company is not con trolled by the Louisville and Nashville the interests are identical, and the change Is made to meet conditions of the Hepburn act.

Shall Baxter Springs Have
A Revival

Or will it be only revival meet
ings? >,
The answer to the above ques-
tion depends upon how badly the
good people will want a revival.
If the Christian people of the
community, regardless of dem
omination, and all other people,
whether professedly Christian or
not, who care about the moral
conditions of Baxter Springs,
will join hands and. hearts, and
as one man labor with the leaders
of this movement, the answer
will be, Baxter Springs will have
a revival. Only lack of judg-
ment or pure .deyilishness can
cause any man to take a stand
against a real revival of religion.
We are not willing to believe that
Baxter Springs, -harbors a man
mean enough, and We can hardly
conceive of the presence of one
so short on judgment, as to OPP
pose it, so we take for granted
that a revival will be hailed with
delight by everybody. The ques-
tion is, will the people put them
selves in the way of making the
the meetings a grand success?
Will they set aside social gather
ings while the meetings are on?
will they attend the meetings
with utmost regularity? We
believe there ARE people enough
in the community that will do
these things, and whatever else
they can do to insure a great re-
vival in Baxter Springs.
