SOME REAL HOME MISSIONARY WORK.
Let the Parson do Something. As Some
Folks See Things,

The Good Book says that tho
Devil "goes about as a roaring
lion, seeking whom he may de-
YOUR" The devil wouldn't have
to 60 far to get some folks we
know, and if they are not already
in his net, they would fall right
in by the wag of his tail, and he
need not roar a bit. Oh, yes the
person walks right down the street
meeting him every day in all
shapes, sorts and sizes, and he
raises not a single club to drive
the old hell-cat out of his way.
The parson seems to think that
he is not called upon to fight ex-
cept on Sunday and shoot him
from his pulpit with long pray
ers, dry sermons, and with songs
nobody knows except the choir.
If the devil is going to be Gagged
the good parson has got to go
whore the devil is at work. He
has got to meet him OIL the street,
in the road, in the stores, in
the homes, and give him a
"solar plexus'' then and there if
he wants to be known as a "lion
tanner" or a "devil catcher" It
seems that the old hell.cat has
learned just how the good parson
aud his folks work their business.
OF course, he does not roar much
on Sundays, but you al take it
from us; he seems to have the
right of way tho balance of the
week.
Parson, you have rested up now,
from your heavy labors on Sun.
day, and when you are taking a
stroll down the street Monday
evening or Tuesday afternoon, and
incidentally calling or some of
the good brethren or sisters and
get their opinion about that able
discourse, an, we'll, maybe your
periodical missionary sermon

or there picking up rotten apples
or cigarette stumps? Well, that
little fellow lives where hell is to
pay every day and night. No
clothes, no wood, no breadl Can't
you step around there and give
the cd devil a thump with a
word of encouragement, an old
cast off vest, a stick or two of
wood? Or if you want to just
about break his old back, you
send some Of those nice, sweet
looding sisters in your choir to
carry some corn meal, soap, and

their nakedness. and you will do
more missionary work in 10 min
utes than ever lay under that
long frocktail coat or under that
bald pate of yours that seems to
shine with such religious fevor
on Sundays. If you don't, you
and your folks, he has just got
a bill of sale for you, and keeps
you wasting time while be eats

The farmers, not the politicians
have pulled the wagon up the hill"
Representative J. P. Elder gives
an interview 70 the press in which
he says:
The campaign claim of Governor
Browns friends that he CT his admin
istration is responsible for 15-cent
cotton is calculated to stir up a hor
nets nest among the farmers OF
Georgia, and particularly those who
are members Of the Farmers Union
This is true, Mr. Elder. The Farm
ers' union members do not propose
10 stand by and permit men who are
hard pressed for votes 10 ride the or
ganization without challenging their
right 10 do 50, and nobody ought to
know this better than Governor
Brown. He certainly viii not in
crease his vote among the farmers
by making any such claim.
To quote Mr. Elder further:
Such statements reflect upon the
Intelligence Of the farmers Of Ge0r-
ga. and worse, they are calculated
10 d. irreparable damage 10 the
Farmers union. which everybody
knows has worked. in season and ont

among farmers. but that time mas
past, Just as M Elder SAYS. it is an
insult and wifi be 50 considered By
the farmers Mr. Elder says fur
thor:
The Farmers Union has waced a
consistently vigorous campaign for
years TO bring about such conditions
as the farmers enjoy today. I be-
lieve that great part Of the credit
for the condition is due to the official
and members of the Farmers Union
The Brown committee might have
as well claimed credit for the high
price of cotton in Alabama Missis-
sippi Oklahoma, Texas. etc, as in
Georgia. The farmers Of those states
thanks to the Farmers Unicn. GOT
Just as much for their cotton as did
the farmers of Georgia.
IF what the rown campaign COM
mittee says concerning the cause for
th= nigh price of cotton is true. then
1t follows that the Farmers Union
mad little to do toward the condition.
50 far as we know, no candidate
OF any other state had the audacitv
or the arrogance or the unmittieated
gall to stand up in the face of the
facts and claim unto himself such
honors. 1t smacks of swell-Aeaded-
ness on the part of any man to make
such claims as have been made in
JAis campaign literature.

THE OLD GUARD ON DECK!

The odd Guard" Ct the New York
Republican army threw the Colonel
down and threw him down hard.
There can be no doubt upon that
IOint. II might Re regarded as a
very impious thing but It is funny
too. And it is not so outrageous as
the Colonels dew tees will think 1t
was a fight among the bosses ard the
little bosses got together and put
the big boss on the back. Why
shouldn't they have done it? They
are all Of the same general DISPOSE
lion. Roosevelt wishes TO control
the situation for the sake Of having
a Lully time The old Guard are
in the political game as a matter OF
business that is the only distinction
between them. In practice Roosevelt
plays exactly as the little fellows
play. only he has stronger hand, by
reason # the eminences to which he
has reached and the endowments he
enjoys. The men who put him down
in me Republican State committee
The other day are his old time pals
and partners in New York. He has
used them TO get along and they
have used him as far as they were
able to keep on. He did not turn his
hack upon them when he came into
power, nor denounce them as mft
of the public inter
ests. Bv no means. Sherman, the
very man waom the bosses put up 10
heat him, and whom they succeeded
in naming over his head was his con
fidential agent in the practical ne
eotiations with Hartman, the EMS
sarv who reported back that the 'un-
desirable citizen" wouldn't put mp
anv political money for Mr.. Rose
velt's political adventures because
his former investments hadn't yield
ed what he had been led to expect
they would yield.
Some people think that the turning
down Of Roosevelt will have the Ell
feet of Fastening the overthrow or
the "Old Guard" from the seats OF
power in the Republican councils OF
New York state. Others think the
sitting in OF the Colonel at the game
is the only thing that has given any
play to the old stagers. Maybe II
will have the effect of breaking up
the game altogether. That ,uld be
mighty good thing. The Colone
has set up the claim to infallibility

TIME FREIGHT CARS.
Traeee BY Hourly Reports the Whols
Lenoth Of Thar Run,

Traeee BY Hourly Reports the Whole
Length Of T.air Run.
A freight car Is essentially common
property. 1t has to go from one line to
another in the course Of its business
1t has to carry loads from Jackson
vile, Fla. to Spokane. Wash; from
Phoenix. Ariz.. to Augusta. Me. II all
the freight cars In the United States
were owned by one big company and
If that company charged the railroads
for the exact amount of use which
they made Of each car the situation
would theoretically be more reasonable
than it is today.
But in any case the wanderings OF
freight cars will always entail an enor.
nous amount of labor with pen and
pencil and telegraph key and typewrit-
er and long distance telephone. writes
William Hard in the Technical World
Magazine.
The modern hunter Of freight cars
Is not satisfied with knowing where
all the cars on his own lines are at the
end Of each days run. Modern bust
ness life has become so rapid that In
the case Of certain kinds of freight 1t
Is necessary to know just where each
car is every few hours. This kind Of
freight is called time freight
Ordinary freight is dead freight
Time freight consists only Of certain
materials. These materials run alpha
betically all the way from asbestus
through cranberries. egg case fillers.
ink. peanuts. and varnish. down to
zinc. All cars in time freight trains
are reported by telegraph from all d.
vision points.
You can stand In front of q big board
on the wall-it is like the board In q
stockholders Office except that 1t has
little holes in it-nnd watch the prog
ress Of the cars In u time freight train
from point to point. As the kilograms
come in the pegs are moved from hole
to hole. II you started a carload of
varnish from Chicago TO Omaha last
night you can come In today and see
Just where that car is. You can watch
it all the way to Omaha on the board
1t Is a cruel humiliation for the
freight car. 1t used to be a Wild stray
animal. but now it II tanned and do
mesticated. Just as We now have mu-
nicipal lodging houses for tramps. so
we have telegraph record boards for
freight cars Pretty soon nobody will
be able to escape from the authorities.
It is only occasionally under modern
methods a freight car tracer has to so
out and bring it home by force.
