Protest Against Profanity

"The Holy Name society, a confra- ternity of the Catholic church, has been attracting good deal of attention re- gently, and I read with much interest in the telegraphic news of last Monday s rade of that organization in Washing ton, D. e. said a layman. 'The Rich mond Times-Dispatch, in commenting ed- itorially on the event, said in part:
 At the head of each parish delegation marched a standard-bearer carrying a religious banner, while each crusader waved small pennant bearing the name of the society. The military bands. while the host was marching, played n0hing but patriotic and sacred music. As the column passed the New Willard hotel it was reviewed by his excellency, Dio- mede Falconio, apostolic delegate to the United States, and other eminent men of the Roman Catholic church. At the Washington monument religious services were held, and many fervent prayers were offered by the priests that the sin of profanity might be checked, and as the sun was setting, the apostolic dele gate, with his arms outstretched, pro- nounced the apostolic benediction. It was a. wonderful demonstration. The Post says that the crowd which witnessed the procession was the most orderly that had ever witnessed a large parade in Washington. There was no jeering, but the silence was taken as an eloquent trib- ute to the purpose of. the Holy Name l1a heard along the avenue while the march, CTS passed"
 "'We do not think very much of re- ligious parades as a rule, but unques- tionably such a demonstration as that in Washington on Sunday must have a wholesome effect, not only on those who participated in it and who witnessed it, but those also who shall read or hear about it.
 'The Holy Name society is one of the oldest associations in the Catholic church, tracing its origin historically to the coun- cil of Lyons in 1274. It has been more or less active through the centuries, and in these latter days it is strongly organ ized in all the large towns of America, as well as Europe. In New York and other eastern cities the Holy Name so- ciety parades from time to time with thousands in it's ranks, and receives holy communion in a body in some large church. One of its chief objects is indi- cated by it's title. Its members are pledged never to take the name of God in vain never to indulge in profane swearing. AS religious writer has said: The members of the society form body guard a sacred militin to defend the name of their adorable King
 Not long since I heard visiting preacher at St. Paul's church, Brming- ham, in addressing the Holy Name so : ciety of the parish, declare that the greatest curse in the United States was profane swearing. He said that certain other sins were often referred to as Americas greatest reproach. but he in- sisted that the most prevalent and at the same time the least excusable was the bad language heard amPg boys ard men

 It Is understood that the enforcement of plan for uniform method of hand ling and issuing passes has been in definitely postponed by the interstate commerce commission and. according to an article in the Railway World, 1t is believed that an observance will not be required before January. 1912. The Railway World goes on to say:
 The plan was formulated by Henry c. Adams, In charge of statistics and accounts of the commission, and out lined in a circular last June, 21 forms and numerous rules being provided. Each road was to be required to keep a record of annual and term passes issued to officers and employees, as well as miscellaneous pases, and of passes issued by other roads. the form of re- quest for the same and other details relating thereto. The plan was not well. comed by the railroads, and in response to an invitation criticisms were offered with suggestions for alterations or ad- ditions, accompanied by a request for delay for a further study of the sub ject.
 Tt Is maintained that if the rule Is made effective, a big increase in the clerical forces of the railroads would become imperative. Thousands of an- nual and time passes are issued in ac- cordance with the restrictions imposed by law and in the matter of annuals, alone, large number of clerks are em- ployed for weeks In preparing them, prior to the first of the year

FRANCES LATE TRAINS

Pans Correspondence of London Globe.
 Suppose you go to the Care Montpar- nasse in Paris to meet friend due to arrive from Brest at o'clock in the evening. A noisy crowd encounters the corridors and flows over on the platforms. The officials have little authority over the unruly people. You look in vain for notice board announcing the trains which are due All the employees seem to have lost their heads, and the porters shout themselves hoarse as they insinuats their way with barrowfuls of luggage through the crowd. pumping into old ladies and absent-mnded people as they go. Important looking men with gold braid on their caps come and go. giving orders which are never executed fault finding, gesticulating and adding to the general confusion. A shrill whistle is heard. A clamor of voices breaks out all around you. It is the train. You ap- proach an officiai. "Is that the Brest train?'
 "Mais non, monsieur. That's the La Rochelle train, which should have ar rived at 3:SO. Your train comes in on Line TO-" T On every side there is chorus of vo- alterations, complaints and indignation.
 Monsieur" says man in angry tones. i've been waiting here for two hours on the train from St. Nazaire. You don, happen to have seen it?'
 NO. haven't even heard 1t mentioned. But I did hear that the train from Niert was signaled 55 minutes behind tinle.'' And so the comedy goes on, while an old woman, sitting in a corner. quietly wipes her eyes. t, a 1T hope no accident has happened to my son. she whimpers. 'and that hs | hasn't been killed"
 | An official reassures her.
 Hes coming from St. Malo, you say. Then he's all right The St. Malo train
 is only two hours and 20 minutes Hate. He'll turn up by and by | The Brest train finally makes it's ap-
 pearance at 7:45, one hour and three- quarters late. But one must not be un- reasonable. After all, what is the good of having state-owned railways if one is not prepared to make some sacrifice for such privilege. M

One of the south,s Ablest Men

"J. S.. B. Thompson, who has been fill ing the position of assistant to the presi- dent of the Southern Railway company, and who now resigns to accept the pres idency of the Atlantic Compress company, is one of the ablest all-round railroad men in the entire south, and he is as popular personally as he Is we'll equipped In business way" said prominent member of Birmingham's Virginia colony. There is scarcely any department of railroading that MrI Thompson has not filled and filled admirably well. I first knew him in the Old Dominion, when he was assist ginia Midland, now constituting that di- vision of the Southern between Danville and Washington, via Lynchburg and Charlottesville. He was afterward di- vision superintendent of the Southern at Richmond, and while he proved to be an excellent transportation official he also found time to look after railroad inter- ests in the Virginia legislature. He was regarded as a master politician and had he gone into politics as a profession he would unquestionably have landed in Con gress.
 From Richmond MT. Thompson was transferred to Atlanta with the title of assistant general superintendent. That was about 13 or 14 years ago. He has been in Atlanta ever since, his title hav- ing been for a time general agent, and finally President Finley made him his ex- ecutive assistant and invested him with antbnrifu In tho SO1tb Tho hio shippers will miss him, but all his friends will congratulate him on his advance ment, which this change evidently means.
 MT. Thompson is a nephew of the late United States Senator John S. Barbour of Virginia

growth of the state in the decade was 3O9,296, and over one-third of this in crease is credited to three cities.
 Better farming and more farmers from the middle west are needed in this state and the legislature that meets in January would do well to open the present decade with determined ef- fort to accomplish both. Alabama grew 65, ,ooO, ,OOO to 7O,OOO,OOO bushels of corn this year-a fine result-but the aver age yield was but IS bushels an acre. This should be changed by deeper ploughing, more scientific fertiliza tion and better cultivation to twice IS bush els an acre. Then, too, our cheap unoc- cupied lands should be brought to the notice of farmers in the middle west who want new homes. They should be induced to come to Alabama, and we cannot begin too soon the effort to att tract them to the climate and the re- sponsive soil of this state.
 strong effort made on up-to-date lines can reverse the tide that is run ming against agricultural Alabama, and the forthcoming legislature should grapple the problem and solve it to Alabama's gain and betterment. In the census of 1920 no county should show a loss in population.

IN MOKI LAND

Arthur Chapman in Denver Republican,. The earth is gray and chill at morn No birds have hailed the sum The MolSis scapty field of corn
 Is closed in shades of dun. But soon have leaped far eastern fires Defying painters brush. And OCT the mountains walls and spires, The day comes with a rush. The maidens troop from castle heights, While die the last cold stars; They thread the old trails terraced
 flights And fill their water jars, A day of sunshine on the plain,
 Till bursts in flame the west. And then the land of little rain
 Sinks dreamlessly to rest.

A DUTCH COuNT

"A Dutch count spent the night in Winfield last night and left for Wichita this noon and at the station gave his name as Count Van Valkenburg of Hol- land. His speech was so very broken that he had to show the reporter a letter he had in his pocket to get his name right. He was very friendly, however, and succeeded in conveying the fact that he considered this a very nice country. Some of the bystanders at the station commented on the fact that the count very closely resemb1ed the editor of local paper in appear ance." Winfield Free Press.

ADRIFT WITH THE TIMES

A RHYME OF REMEMBRANCE Grim, yellow tide!
 still flowing to the sea, Long since, thy flood beside,
 1 stood in revery. Thy restless murmur filled
 My dreaming ears with song; Yet, in my bosom thrilled
 A fear of thee-so strong, So like the stream of life,
 Which bears the swimmer on, Through years of storm and strife, Till Youths last ray is gone.
