WANTS NEW OFFICES.
Southern Railway Company to Con
centrate Scattered Departments.

Because Of the inadequacy OF the space
In the old building at 13th street and
Pennsylvania avenue, and because the
several branch Offices In which overflow
departments have been quartered for
months past have been sold. the directors
OF the Southern Railway Company have
decided to rent an additional building
for the departments which have been
crowded out OF the old structure. II is
probable the new building will be located
in the vicinity of the Union station.
though this point has not been definitely
determined.
The Southern railway owns it's princi-
pal ofYice building on Pennsylvania ave-
nue., and when this structure was pur-
chased approximately q dozen years ago
1t was thought 1t would be large enough
for the needs OF the company. Owing
to increased business. however, II has
been found necessary to nearly triple the
working force, and parts OF the different
clerical departments are quartered at the
present time In the old Washington, Alex
andria and Mount Vernon railway sta
ton at 13ts and E streets, the Barber
& Ross building, the old Builders Ex-
change building and the old Business
High School. The new building will be
large enough to accommodate all Of the
branch Offices which have been scattered
in these different structures.

by the West. The Young Turk is the
child of the Occident in spirit. He has
been trained in war by the German Won
der Goltz, in letters by pupils Of Cyrus
Hamlin; the guns which brought down
the Imperial standards were turned in
Western lathes. His ideals have not
come to him upon the icy current and
compulsive course" OF the Black Seas
overflow or lazily along the shore from
Aleppo and Beirut; they have been
waited out Of the West, from London
and New York, Berlin and Paris.
The end is not yet The real strug-
gle is yet to come. The discipline OF
the army, the reasonableness of the
Young Turkish leaders we may count
upon with fair degree of certainty.
The real issue is not the possession OF
the capital; it lies between the Oriental
and Occidental spirits within the EN-
pire. How will the fanatics Of the East
receive this ascendency of the forces of
modern liberty and order in Constanti4
nople? What of the Kurds? of Arabia2
of Mosul? Saloniki and Monastir have
spoken, but what will Bagdad and Mecca
say to constitutionalism? And if the
tornado pillars of Oriental fanatacism
stalk once more out of the desert and
"the oaths to the tribes prove sure
word, " will the new fabric of reason and
liberty stand?-St. Louis Republic.

Back to the Farm.

The next census will very likely show
surprises in urban population. Cities,
in all probability, will not be satisfied
with their growth. 1t is extremely
doubtful if any Southern city has as
much population now as it had year
ago, owing to conditions that have sent,
and are sending, people back to the
farms. The increased cost of living,
coupled with industrial conditions, has
driven a great many people to the coun-
try, where they can practice more econ
omy than is possible in the cities And
the very favorable prices at which all
products of the farm are selling has ac-
tolerated this movement.
A man of calculating turn of mind
who is working in the city at most any
of the trades can figure how it is posi-
bic for him to rent farm, support his
family, and have more clear money at
the end of the year than he now has.
When Irish potatoes are worth dollar
bushel, more money may be made
raising them than in working for the
average wage or salary in the city. Ev-
cry product Of the farm commands q
fancy price; the farmer has prospered
for several years, and his prosperity has
turned the tide of travel from the city
to the farm. The trend countryward is
apparent in all Southern cities, and we
assume that it is the same in other Sec
tions of the country.
The longer the movement keeps UP
the better it will be for all classes Liv-
ing expenses are abnormally high in
the cities, and this is caused in some
measure by people leaving the farms
and moving to town during the five
years beginning with 1902 and ending
with 1907. When the panic came or
in 1907, the movement back to the
country began and it has been steady il
that direction since. Young men lief
the farms believing they could make
more money in the city, To their sur
prise they found that it cost them fiy'
times as much to live in the city thai
it did in the country, and that the cas-!
time of the city man was largely 70
nance. With them it is back to tn
farm, /" and the man who knows that il
agriculture is our strength can but re
gard the movement as an encouragln!

The Real Struggle in Turkey.

The Young Turks have taken Con

forward on the dial plate of history
An age is dead; an age is born.
The year 1858 saw the engulfment of
the wreck of the Eastern Empire of the
Romans in the blue waters of the Bos-
.nborus. For four centuries and half
an autocracy founded on fanaticism has
ruled in a city which must always be,
bacanse Nature has so decreed, one of
the great capitals of the world. Now
the autocracy has fallen.
II has fallen by the hands of its own
children, speaking after the flesh. 1t is

The Young Turks are fighting for con.

The Young Turks are fighting for con-
stitutional government and the Sultan
is dethroned 1t is battle of life
and death with the eyes of the world
upon them. Just so in the administra-
ton of all governments. The rulers
demand more power and the people
more privileges and immunities. Can
mons rule in Congress is fair sample
of a man drunk with power. There Is
no compromise with such people 1t
is rule or ruin and in many cases rule
and ruin. Thos. B. Reed was called the
car in Congress, but Reed had brains
and sense of honesty. He was a
patriot. Cannon has none of these
things, and the American people will
be called upon some of these days to
correct the evil results of Cannon's
misrule. 1t may take harsh measures,
but it may be necessary.

We cannot get away from political
contention under our form of govern
ment, but we can have less frequent po-
litical disturbances with uniform cleo
tions. The constitutional amendment
bill provides for the election of Govern
or for four years, and every county Of
flee in the State should be included in
this amendment Perhaps the Con-
pressional elections wouldn't bother us
much-we hope not. And then the
United States Senators-let the Legisla

in the election of representatives to the
Legislature, and let these representatives
be also elected every four years. Then
bet everybody go to work attending to
business and improving public schools
