CONFEREES WILL
WORK In SECRET

WASHINGTON, June 10.-Through
the maintenance of self-imposed In
junction of secrecy it is likely that
the conferees on the railroad bill,
who begin their deliberations today,
will complete their alterations in the
measure and make their reports to
their respective houses without much
information of their procedure becom-
ing known in advance.
The general understanding is that
President Taft will be kept posted on
changes, but that he has been asked
TO refrain from mentioning the work
of the conferees to other members OF
Congress. This request was founded
upon the ground that it would result
in pressure being brought to bear up
on the committee by men who might
want further changes or might object
to alterations that had been agreed
upon.
It is practically certain that the
House provision in relation to stocks
and bonds will be eliminated by the
conferees in spite of the fact that the
made request for its re-
tention.

Isn't Telling Any Fairy Tales About
The West, But Says Tennessee Is q
Great state TO Live in.-Here to
Visit Relatives

A. A. Hodge, for thirty-hve years In
business in Columbia. and a brother
of Mort Hodge, is here on a visit 70
relatives. Mr.. Hodge now makes his
home in Marshal, Texas, progressive
city of $4,000 inhabitants, located near
the Louisiana line.
In discussing political conditions In
the Lone Star State, Mr.. Hodge de
clared that Texas was going dry this
year. He said:
I'm travelling from Little Rock to
Dallas the tourist must quench his
thirst on water, lemonade or other
mild beverages, for the saloons are
all closed. In all Texas, the biggest
state in the entire union, there are
not but eleven wet counties. And in
the July primaries this year the state
will go dry. There are FIVE candidates
for governor, two of waom are FOR
statewide. The next legislature will
also be a prohibition Legislature, for
there is no doubt how the state will
vote.
I'VE are not troubled with bootleg
gers in Texas Two years in the ZEN
itentiary is what they always get. No
Jail sentences or fines out there. 1t Is
two years, no more nor less, and you
can rest assured that they don't ped
die much liquor
Regarding the West Mr.. Hodge
said: Il have no fairy tales to tell.
Texas is a great state and the opLor-
tunities for the poor man are good.
Land can be bought there for what it
can be rented here. The man who has
no farm can do better in Texas. But
he can't make five dollars there to the
one he can make here. Set that
down. And after all Tennessee is the
best place in the world to live"

FLOWER MISSION

One of the teachers of the Public
schools in the great city Of Boston
lived in the blessed country, and vent
to and from her work every day on the
cars. Her heart was touched with
sympathy for the poor little children
who lived in the midst of the crowd
and din and dust of the great city,
and propmted her to "carry some OF
the beauty and freshness Of the green
world into the stifed lives OF those
she saw about her." This noble,
thoughtful woman made such an i'm
preston on this busy, noisy, active
world of ours, that some one was
moved to tell the story, hoping others
might be influenced by the portrayal of
the Divine Love in the hearts of one
of Gods children.
The story was told in one of the re-
ligious papers of the day, and thus in
a city in the sunny southland it fell
into the hands of another one of Gods
children, and the words seemed to
burn her very soul. In the midst of
her terrible affliction and intense
pain, caused by an accident which rem
dered her lifelong invalid from cur
vature of the spine, this story came
to her as a sweet message direct from
God. She at once thought of others,
like herself lying weary upon sick
The Columbia herald. [volume] (Columbia, Tenn.) 18??-1935, 1910-06-17

beds, and Of sorrow stricken ones ev-
erywhere, and the idea flashed upon
her mind that she might form mis-
sion of flowers, getting others to gath
er and distribute them while she point
ed out the way. And that some Of
Gods words might go with the flowers
of His creation on their mission Of
love, she instituted the Scripture text
cards, which we're attached to each
and every greeting. And so this beau
tiful work, begun under the wise lead
ership of Jennie Casseday, has grown
into our Flower Mission Department
And while the flowers still play an
important part in, and are indeed the
foundation stone of this departn ent,
the area of its work is now large
enough to embrace all forms of char
ity that increase the common Joy"
1T gives the necessities of life to those
who are without them and delicacies
to the sick. 1t gives comfort and
cheer to those who mourn, and hope
to those who have wandered astray.
1t gives drives to invalids, and outings
to those who all the year live in the
crowded cities, while over and above
all it distributes the blossoms and
text-cards to the weary, the hayward
and suffering.
your voiceless lips, o Flowers, are
living preachers,
Each cut pulpit, every leaf book"

Roosevelt a Candidate.

From Vienna comes the follow
ing cablegram:
Mr.. Roosevelt denied empha-
tically today the published state
ment that he had agreed with
Clifford Pinchot that his name
might be used in connection with
the presidency"
This does not, however, mean
that when the time is ripe for
announcing his candidacy Theo-
dore Roosevelt will not be a can
didate.
The News does not set up as a
prophet and claims no honors as
a seer, but it is pretty safe to
bet that when the psychological
moment arrives Theodore will
announce himself.
In the meantime the report is
that he is to make certain
speeches for Beveridge in Indiana
and that he will be heard on con-
servation at Kansas City.
1t seems very probable that
after about a couple of Roosevelt
speeches have been heard friend
Taft" will find out that his spon-
sor at the last Republican con-
vention and his political creator
has fish of his own to fry and is
not so good a friend as he used
to be.
What doth it profit a Rough
Rider if he kill a half dozen bull
elephants, a herd of CRATES, and
a rhinoceros and a dik-dik or so,
without coming home to be re-
elected? Theodore Roosevelt, a
private citizen, by his own wish.
We rather think not! If there is
any chance and there seems to
be every chance that he can get
the Republican nomination Col.
Roosevelt will be found ready to
run, and capable of showing
speed.
