TO ABOLISH sToP-ovERs.

Chicago, ILL.,, Jan. 3.-The Western
railroads have decided to cut out all
stop-over privileges on short-term tick
cts, beginning to-day. The decision
to this effect was reached by the lines
which are members of the Western
Passenger Association, and their &C
ton will be placed before the lines in
the Southwest and before the trans
continental lines for their approval
It is also understood that the Eastern
lines will soon take similar action.
The reason for disseminating the
practice lies in the fact that it had
been so extended as to cut into thu
revenue of the railroads from the salt
of regular unlimited tickets.

Nothing IN History FIntr Than ~
Work Done BY These civItiza-
ton Pickets.

About the missionary Of to-day-and
l have ridden with him, boot to boot,
in score of lands-there Is scant
reminder of the somber-garbed, psalm
singing. nasalvoiced, narrow-minded
proselytizer who has been made the
butt of Jokes in comic supplements
from time immemorial. The Amer
lean missionary of the present, clean
cut and college-bred, comes from an
other mold. He is as carefully trained
as the consul or the commercial trav-
eler, though on broader and more COM
prehensive lines. When he starts for
his new field, he is something more
than theologian and a preacher. He
has had an agricultural course and
can pillow and SOW and reap after the
most approved fashion; or he knows
something of manual industry and can
use a plane, a saw. or lathe. the
tools Of blacksmith, a carpenter, or
a mason; possibly he understands the
elements of electricity and Of hydraul-
les and can install dynamo or set up
ram; or perhaps he is going out as
a medical missionary. in which case
the preaching and teaching will be
subordinated to the care of the sick
the healing Of the lame, the halt. and
the blind.
History shows nothing finer than the
way in which these pickets Of civiliza
ton. scattered over the strange por
tons Of the globe. have distilled {
grim humor out Of their desolate sit
uations. turning not only q bold but .
laughing face upon the perils which
their lives may bring. There is, in
deed, something approaching the di
vine in their power to rise above har'
conditions. and to use their minds TO
the purpose Of hooking at the mis-
cries Of their bodies. In all the worl
there is no more thrilling romano
than that Of these pioneers of prof

Special to The Netos.
Jackson, Jan. 3.-While sporadic
movement is under way to precipitate
a fight for constitutional prohibition
in the approaching legislative session,
present indications are that it will
receive very little encouragement
from any quarter, and, if presented,
will be promptly smothered in the
committee room.
This. at least, is the opinion gener-
ally expressed by lawmakers who
have reached the city, many Of whom
are consistent prohibitionists, but
who hold to the view that it would be
exceedingly unwise to launch a fight
at this time.
The radical element in the prohibi-
ton forces have evidently not made a
careful study of the situation, and are
unaware of the forces with which
they would have to contend in such a
fight.
First and foremost, the senatorial
contest is going to overshadow all
other questions in interest and import
ance until it is finally disposed Of
and will have the right-of-way ovel
all general legislation.
Second, a strong and decided senti
ment has developed, especially amoni
members from the northern. easter
and delta counties, against any form
of tinkering with the constitution.
Third, the conservative element o
the prohibitionists believe that
will be wise to "let we'll enough alone
. for the present; that the statutor
I prohibition law is working very sal
isfactorily, and it would be impoliti
to attempt to make prohibition a par
Of the organic law until the peopl
are ripe for it.
Fourth, the fear is expressed !
some quarters that the submission
an amendment for constitutional pr
hip;tion might meet with o 1efea
similar to that accorded in Alabama
t. few weeks ago, and the prohihitio
# cause would thus lose soma OF II

its best manipulation Is shown by its
