NO TIME TO LOAF.

Congress is already talking of adj
iourning early in May because they
have nearly completed their work.
Still, they have consented to keep
the show open a week longer to en-
able the Governors called together
by Roosevelt to catch a glimpse of
the nations lawmakers at work(0
But if the list of things to be done
and not done given by Bradstreet's
is a correct one, it would seem that
there is enough to keep Congress
busy for a day or two longer, any
how. AS the usual rate of speed in
matters legislative, the program is
enough to keep the solons busy for
many months.
Here is the record according to
Bradstreet's:
Some of the measures which will
be passed if the leaders in Congress
can carry them through are the Aid
rich bill or some substitute for it
which will provide for an emergency
currency; a bill granting compen-
satiOn to employees injured while
in the government service; a measure
prohibiting child labor in the District
of Columbia; bill or joint resolu-
ton authorizing the Ways and Means
Committee of the House and the Fin
ance Committee of the Senate to
give hearings preliminary to a revis-
| ion of the tariff, and a bill appropriate
| ing a sum sufficient to enable the
| Inland Waterways Commission to
continue the work begun by it last
year. Among the measures which
| are likely to fail of passage are the
bills restricting the powers of the
| federal courts in the issuance OF
| injunctiOns in labor disputes; amend
/ ing the Sherman antitrust law so as
| to establish a system of federal Ii
| censes for interstate corporations
enabling the railroads to form traffic
| associations so as to secure greater
stability of rates and returns; re-
| moving some of the restrictions upon
combinations of labor; prohibiting
railroads from blackhsting union
| employees; empowering the Inter
state Commerce Commission to con
| troll future issues of stocks and
| bonds of railroads; permitting the
Attorney General to name one of the
receivers for insolyent railroads; re-
| moving the duty on wood pulp, and
| establishing postal savings banks.

NEGROES MAKING BLUFF.

Negroes who are opposed to
Roosevelt have been doing some big
talking lately about voting for Bry-
an in preference to either the Presi-
dent or his nominee. At a meeting at
Philadelphia earlier in the month,
one speaker voiced this sentiment,
while last week the same thing was
said at a meeting in Washington of
the Negro Political League.
In recent years it has been the
tendency of the Republicans to ig-
more the colored man, especially in
the distribution of liberal slices of
pie, and the rank and file are sore
over the neglect. Not being a factor
in politics has not set we'll with the
colored brother, who has with very
few exceptions steadily voted the
Republican ticket.
Foraker's per-fervid championship
of the negroes because he saw an
opportunity to injure Roosevelt, has
bOlstered up the colOred voter to a
point where he thinks he has a real
grievance. Foraker having failed in
developing any strength as a presi-
Dental nominee, there was nothing
to do but to oppose Roosevelt in
whatever way possible.
But it is more than probable that
all the talk about supporting Bryan
is "four-fiushing" of the rankest
order 1t is doubtful if the Lily
Whites will permit themselves to be
moved in any way by this threat. And
though the Democrats sadly need
votes in the coming election, it is
also unlikely that any overtures would
be made to the colored voter.
Of course nothing could prevent
the negroes from voting the Demo
cratic ticket, and their votes would
count in the doubtful states, but il
is not likely that the Democrats viii
lend the party to the bluff which the
negroes are putting up in the hope
of bluffing Roosevelt.

The Pedigree of a Rail.
New York World.)

For six months a committee OF
Pennsylvania Railroad officials have
been testing steel rails. Ten thou
sand tons of an experimental order
having turned out we'll, the specifica a
tions now become standard The
rails have a new cross-section and
must be drawn from sound ingots.
They must contain carefully limited
percentage of carbon and silicon.
Manganese is required in BessemeT
rails but not in open-hearth steel, and
more than One-thousandth part OF
Phosphorus throws out the order.
These Investigations might strike an
old-time railroad man as fussy, but
they save money and passengers lives.
In the earlier days wooden rails
were tried in this country, though not
in England Next came the wooden
rail with an iron strap laid on top.
This wore better, but the strap had a
way of working loose at one end, curl
ing up into "niggedhead," and in
truding through thea floor of car
The all-iron rail was necessary.
In the rapid expansion of railroad
ing before the civil war iron rails OF
almost any pattern were used. Grad
ually, with the introduction of the
stronger steel, the rail was made
higher and of something like stand
ardized shape, growing in weight
meanwhile from thirty to ninety
pounds yard.
Evolution leaves the rail of today
with a broad, thin bearing base, slop-
ing gradually up to the shank, which
is thin, tall and of nearly uniform
thickness, curving sharply into the
base at the bottom and more gradual
ly into the top, which is a carefully
shaped curve nearly flat on top and
contains the larger part of the ma
terial The great problem of rail des-
ign is to save metal from the base
and shank, without making them
weak, to put into the bearing surface
The chemical composition which viii
keep rails from becoming brittle with
much pounding is a subject of equally
anxious inquiry.

Another Smith Blunder
ATLANTA Georgian. J

With all Mr. Smith said that was
good, however, he was unable to re-
frain from the most serious mistake
and unkindness that any political
candidate could indulge in, and that
was his allusion to his opponents ply
steal shortcomings. His statement
that men would be ashamed of his
opponent if they should see him and
that his managers had put him away
to sleep and the attitude of Mr..
Smiths paper in cartooning Mr.
Brown with wig and emphasizing
his small stature comes with little
grace from man who has been so
greatly favored with physical bless
ings.
This is wrong and should be ben
cath any man, and the Georgian
begs that such campaigning be elm
mated from this contest, and, in the
name of the dignity Of our state, let's
never try to win office on such adj
vantages.
The governor said: 81 have in no
way changed am the same man
in every way | was then" and this
should be borne in mind-he has done
many Of the things he said he would
do
The fact that people say he should
have used his judgment and left un-
done some Of the things he saw would
not have been wise, does not alter the
fact that he has proceeded to work
out many of his promises, and we
do not honestly believe that Governor
Smith has changed to any appreciate
extent in his ideas He has made lis
mistakes. has his bad qualities as
well as his good ones-Who hasn't?

Hot Politics in Atlanta.
(Atlanta Georgian.)

Two friends stopped in front OF
the Peters building, in Peachtree-st.,
Saturday morning for casual polit-
zeal argument. 1t grew so warm that
others drew near. One by one the
crowd began swelling until in half an
hour it blockaded the sidewalk and
the police interfered, dispensing the
assembly and breaking into a network
of arguments that centered around
the two original debaters.
All around town similar things hap
pened. One could hardly mention the
name of Hoke Smith or Joe Brown
without starting a debate. On the
street corners, in the hotels, restu-
rants, the cigar stands, in the street
cars, elevators and everywhere else
that two or more men CHANGED to be

ROOSEVELT BEAT BRYAN IN GA?

Would Roosevelt beat Bryan in
Georgia?
William E. Curtis, writing in the
Chicago Record-Herald says that the
most prominent Democrat in the state
stated that, no other issues being
involved the President had more adj
mirers in Georgia than the Peerless
One.
Mr.. Curtis is making tour of the
South for his paper and is now in
Atlanta. In his leecer which ap-
peared in the Record-Herald of last
Saturday, Mr.. Curtis says:
The President is wonderfully popu-
lar down here, and the most promin-
ent Democrat in the state asserted
the other evening that in "a test be-
tween the two without involving other
issues he would poll more votes in
Georgia than Bryan. He has extreme
ly bitter critics, among both the
white and the coIored people, On
the other hand, he has more eXtraya-
CANT admirers than any other man in
the United States. AS a rule the
Democrats like hlM" better than the
Republicans, and the business men
have the greatest degree of conf
dence in him, which is a striking
contrast to the feeling in New York,
At the same time, several prominent
manufacturers and bankers and mer-
chants of both parties have been
quite violent in their criticism of
his policy and their denunciations of
his utterances. The Democratic lead
ers do not hesitate to say that they
would rather have Roosevelt in the
White House than Bryan, because, as
they explain, both have the same
conscientious determination to curb
the trusts and give everybody a
square deal, and they know the me-
thods Roosevelt is taking to ac-
cOmplish that purpose, while Bryan
would be an experiment.
