RELIGION, NOT roIlrrcAL ECONOMY

III N, L
Governor Draper, OF Massachusetts
either does not care to hold public
Office again or else is not as clever as
he looks. He has shown this not SO
much in his political utterances. for
In these he always speaks as becometh
the sage and the counsellor: but IN
recent address at the Unitarian Fes-
tIval in Boston last Friday night, he
forgot himself completely Here is
what the New York Evening Post
says he said:
go to church every sunday of the
year. ...I go in the expectation OF
hearing a Unitarian sermon based on
the principles that underlie our taith.
| I dc not go TO hear about po1tical
economy or to be instructed in poht'-
chi principles. -. therefore recon-
mend to the Unitarian churches that
when they preach to their people they
| remember that the people want reli-
sion, and lots of it, and not political
economy.
Could anything be more reckless and
more dangerous than this in these en-
nghtened days? Could the Governor,
! by any misstep have thrown himself
farther over the iprinciple OF cur
rent opinion? We hardly see how.
Before his words were in print, we
! suspect the wise men or Boston were
bcsiegins his lodging,-some to tell
him that the clergy should preach OF
social conditions, and psyco- therapy
and Browning and social unrest, 9TH
ers to remind him that the Churcf
4 should stand for better tcnements anc
that the clergymen should be advocates
i of municipal bath-house, Others to IN
4 form him that he should not oppose
the valuable services being performed
by the ministry In behalf OF the highe1
i criticism and so on. Perhaps rev
i old Fashioned people shook the COY
4 crnor's hand, and yearned with HIN
for more gospel and less politica
u economy, but the voice of these goo
men was lost in the abuse OF thos
who told the Governor to shut UP an
attend to his own business.
We feel like writing Draper a let
ter and warning him. lie does no
know what he is foolins with.

seem to be going from bad TO worse.

JIM crow LAWS UPHELD IN Full

After some half dozen years of hti-
cation, the Supreme Court has been
able to reach a final decision in the
Jim Grow cases and has settled, let us
hope for all time, the rights OF a
state or a railroad company to sep
arate the races. Every one of these
statutes has been contested at one
time or another. and all have been
upheld, before the present year. with
the exception of the law regulating
the interstate carriage of negroes.
Even here, in Plessy VS.. Ferguson,
the Supreme Court practically upheld
the Louisiana law as applied to inter-
state traffic.
In "a decision handed down on Tues
DAY the Court declared that reSula-
ton enforced in one State for the
separation of the races on railroad
trains applied to interstate traffic
through that state, regardless of all
other considerations. ,The particular
case was brought by Washington
negro who Travelled to Kentucky. and
the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad
was the defendant but the same prin-
ciple will of course, hold good for
other states and for other companies
The opinion of the court, handed
down by Mr.. Justice McKenna, merely
reviewed previous decisions and ex-
tended their reasoning to this case.
Congress, said the Court has the
power to regulate interstate COM
merce, and in the exercise of this
right can provide for or against the
separation of the races, but where
Congress fails TO do this, the railroad
companies have right to obey any
regulations not contrary to Federal
law. This was but another way of
saving that where Federal law does
not permit the intermingling of the
races state law may prohibit it.
Some jack-a-nape in Congress will
probably offer bill prohibiting the
separation of interstate passengers at
4 some future time, but sentiment is too
strong for such bill to pass and, in
the meantime, the state laws are up
held in full. 1t should not be for
| gotten by those who sec in this de-
cision the end of a chapter of race
Legislation, that the Supreme Court has
upheld the laws not only because Con-
gross has failed to legislate on the
subject. but because it considered that
such separation was a concession to
the established usages. customs and
traditions of the people and tended
to "the promotion of their comfort
and the preservation of public peace
ana good order" Unless we mistake
the spirit of the times. further race
legislation will be enacted and upheld
| for the same reasons.

NEW SERVICE FOR
NORTHERN ALABAMA
EXTRA TRAINS WILL BE PUT ON
SUNDAY TO ACCOMMODATE PEO-
PIE OF THE SECTION NORTH OF
JASPER

Birmingham merchants. citizens OF
Sheffield, Russellville and other places or
the Northern Alabama railroad have won
their petition for improved train service
on the Northern Alabama.
1t was announced by the Southern Rail-
way company yesterday that, effective
Sunday, a new train will be established
on the Northern Alabama to Sheffield
via Russellvile and schedule arrange
ments made which would permit mer-
chants and buyers to visit, Birmingham,
remain several hours in this city and re-
turn to their homes at a convenient hour
the same day. For some time past this
newly announced service has been eagerly
sought by all the cities along the route.
According to the announcement a train
will leave Sheffield at 5 a. M, leave Rus
sellville at $40 and arrive Birmingham
at II a. m.
Returning the train will leave Birming-
ham at p. M, arrive Jasper 6:35 p. M,
arrive Sheffield at 10 p. m. ,N
In addition to this schedule a new train
will be operated from Jasper to Shenield
and return. This schedule will be ap-
proximately as follows: Leave Jasepr 7
a. M, arrive Russellville at 9:45 a. M,

in the highest sections could not even
obtain water for use in the house
hold for bath and like necessities. Some
Of tn ese had private water systems
installed at great expense for house,
hold use. This did not give fire pro-
lection, however, and many serious fires
have resulted in that section from the
simple lack of a strong water pres
sure. One or two of the fine resi-
dences on Iroquois were badly
damaged last winter and the city fire
department had to stand by and watch
the flames rage because they could not
get stream of water until the big
steam engine pump arrived which had
been detained on account of the long
pull for the horses zap the hill.
The new standpipe is on the crest OF
the mountain and much higher in alti-
ture that any of the residences of South
Highlands. 1t will give tremendous
pressure to all of the water plugs of
this district and fire fighting there will
be entirely revolutionized. 1t not only
will afford ample fire protection and
water for ordinary household purposes
but the standpipe will greatly increase
the value of the property of this dis
trct. 1t is a great boon to the prop
erty owners and another step in adj
vance made by progressive Greater Bir-
