Every question that arises will be
submitted to the people for decision
All local problems will be voted upon

All state matters will be brought be-
fore every club in the state No
national organization, and no nation

every club in the union has voted

An Educational System.
Every issue, local, state and ma
tional, will thus be brought squarely
before the people, and in this man
ner the club will become an educa-
tional system. Men will be forced
to read and think about the vital
questions of the day. Most of our
troubles are due, not to ignorance,
but to the indifference of the indi-
vidual. In an organization, each
member must keep step, or fall out.
The responsibility that rests upon
each man to vote according to his
own convictions of what is best for
all, without regard to party, creed
or caste, will be taught as the cardi-
nal principle of these clubs. Each
man must shoulder that responsible
ity, or be held unworthy. In the
classical words of John Henry, "It's

AN OLD VET GONE.

Dear Sir:-I should have written
you two months ago, but being in
great trouble have neglected it from
time to time until I scarcely know
what to say.
| have concluded that you may not
know that my husband, J. M. Ram
sey, is dead, and that I ought to write
you about it.
He died of congestion on June IL.
He was taken suddenly ill two days
before he was to start to Memphis to
attend the soldiers reunion.
I had been afraid for him to go,
fearing he would never get back
home. He was 80 years of age and
very feeble. He thought more of
you than any other man, and would
like you to write a few lines about
his death. I have written some
verses about him, will you give them
place in your paper Or magazine? I
will send them in time for next week.
Respectfully yours,

If | understand the meaning of

sion of a noble purpose to provide

equal to the man who still lives in
Georgia.; they should be on a per-
feet equality before the law; having
done service for his country, such
service should be recognized.
There are other places where the
pensions are greater than they should
be, and can be reduced to the rea-
sonable honoring of the dead.
l do not inveigh against the dead,
I like to see them honored, the glori-
Gus, silent dead, who rendered up
their life in battle; no greater sacri-
fee could they offer, no tribute so

CHANGES SOUGHT
IN RAILWAY LAW
PROVISION FOR PUBLIC SERVICE
COMMISSION IN STATE SUG-
GESTED BY AN AMENDMENT
TO THE STATE CONSTITUTION

| Olympia, Jan. pa Joint meet
ing of the committee on railroads OF
| the house and senate will be held to-
morrow night with the railroad COM
mission for the purpose of discuss
ing changes in the laws desired by
the commission.
The railroad commission will ask
for no additional powers, but will
suggest several minor changes in the
law which will more clearly define
the duties of the body. The inspec-
tors department of the commission
will ask that changes in the rules be
made.
Under the present law engineers
are required to take examinations to
test their sight 1t has occurred that
defective steam pipes on locomotives
have caused such clouds of steam as
to make it impossible for an engineer
to see ahead. An amendment will be
proposed which will make the pres
ence of defective pipes an additional
reason why the inspector should take
the locomotive off the road.
That an amendment to the consti-
tuition to provide a commission hav-
ing powers similar to those exercised
by the public service commission of
New York will be taken up in the
legislature is practically assured. The
suggestion will not come from the
commission itself, but will be pro-
posed by legislators who are desir-
GUS of carrying out the pledges of the
republican platform. Under the plan
for the enlargement of the powers of
the railroad commission it is pro-
posed that the commission shall have
jurisdiction over telephones and tele-
graphs.
