RAILWAY MEMS TESTS.
New Theory Proposed of Physical
 Fitness.

Fitness.
 Philadelphia Inquirer.
 A leading railway in New York is proposing to establish a rule for physi- cal tests before employing men which will be severe as that for entering the regular army. This is based on the fact that new compensation law and the abolition of the "fello W servant ts" act require a higher degree of effici- ency than therefore unless the company Is willing to pay enormous sums in damages and pensions.
 This is new theory, but it is not wh oily a bad one. In our neree cornpe- tltion for the prizes of life the best win survive. Laws making 1t neces- sary to have a high standard of Physi- cal efficiency before gaining employ ment may be in many respects for the benefit of mankind. In these days there are too many young men who think that they can drink alcoh ol smoke cigarettes immoderately. and still retain their positions, It were a good thing if no young man could get remunerative employment unless he could show a clean bill of mental and moral health.

DEMOCRATS SHOULD

HELP THE PARTY. The Advertiser appeals earnestly 10 the Democrats of Alabama to come to the aid of the party's Campaign Fund This seems to be a Democratic year. The party is harmonious and well or- ganized. But money is needed. The managers of the campaign must look to the rank and file of the party for funds. Other States are responding liberally. Alabama Democrats must not be slow. If every Democrat in the State would give $1 it would help nightly.
 The Advertiser believes the Demo- cracy of Alabama will do It's part. The Advertiser pledges itself to work un- ceasingly to secure the money.
 Let every beat in the State organize. Every white man in every beat should be solicited. The Advertiser will re- ceive the money and forward 1t to the National Committee.
