ALARAMA,s RAILROADS.
q Atlanta Journal.

From the Atlanta Journal.
The year recently closed was a remark
able one in many particulars for the rail-
roads of Alabama. Not a passenger was
killed during the entire L months. Only
81 passengers were injured. The increase
in net earnings amounted to more than
100000 for the fiscal year ending June
80, last. The increase in the number of
passengers handled was nearly 100000,
and 60 additional miles of track were
built
That is a significant, as well as an in
teresting showing. The fact that the rail-
roads of state have operated for a year
without death to single passenger
proves what careful and intelligent man.
agement can accomplish. To be sure, 1t
is one of the seemingly inevitable misfor-
tunes of this age of machinery that some
fatal accidents should happen each sea-
son, accidents for which our Industrial
system alone is responsible. At the same
time, there can be no doubt that large
percentage of railway casualties could be
forestalled. Such has always been the
case In France and other European coun-
tries where the laws in this particular
are more rigid than in this land. The
Alabama roads have furnished an inspir-
ing example.
Their increase in net earnings indicates
excellent administration, and it shows,
too, that big industrial enterprises arc
not ultimately harmed by honest laws
enacted on the peoples behalf. In 1907,
then the banner year of railway profits,
the net earnings of the Alabama roads
were approximately Ss.50o,000. In 1902 they
were over s7,000.000. The roads themselves
and the state at large are to be congratu-
lated on such results.

LITERARY FAkIRS.
| the New York World.

From the New York World.
The authorities of the Boston Public
Library have wisely decided not to re-
move DIR. Cooks works from the shelves.
but to include them in the section re-
served for literary fakirs
AS the assistant librarian well says,
THE literature of imposture forms one of
the most fascinating divisions of any IL
brary's collection" Cooks volumes are
bound to grow in interest and not unlikely
to rank in time with Chatterton, ireland
and the spurious Ossian, as well as with
Munchausen. They will figure In auction
sales of first editions and be included
among the curiosa of booksellers cata-
logs.
But If librarians are to adhere consis-
tently to such a classification it is evil
dent that large blocks of shelf room will
be needed to contain the output of liter
airy, scientific and economic imposture
How do they classify the propaganda of
free silver and Of greenbackism at the
Boston Library? There is no doubt as
to the category in which a large party
majority has placed these economic
hoaxes. On what shelves are the fake
theories Of science, its repudiated lymphs,
cancer specifics, elixirs of life and its
psychic phenomena, and the myths of
history which latter-day historians are
kept busy correcting or simplifying; the
voluminous charlatanry of the new
thougnt?" Are any presidential messages
or state papers preserved in this depart
ment7
Much depends ON the point of view, but
it is apparent that If every volume that
has fooled some of the people some of the
time IL to be included in this category 1t
will form one of the librarys largest Sec
tons.

Richmond and Atlanta.

Amendment Proposition In Florida.
IT believe it is safe bet that the pro-
hfbition amendment to the constitution
of Florida will be defeated" said Har-
old b. Vaughan of Cincinnati.
II spent the last week of December In
Florida and found the amendment senti-
ment very much weaker than it was
about a year ago when 1 made trip
through the state. The people of Jackson
vile and Tampa at that time were in
clined to think the ultra prohibitionists
prohibition on the tourist centers. But
the feeling is very different now.
1.-THE amendment proposition is to be
voted ON next November. The present
constitution provides for local option; and
that being SO the legislature can never
pass a statewide prohibition bill until
the constitution is changed.
1.-The crushing defeat of constitutional
prohibition in Alabama last fall had a
marked effect on the Florida situation.
Those opposed to statewide prohibition
took courage from Alabama's example
and / do not think that the Florida
amendment proposition will have a ghost
of a chance in November. 1 have talked
with men from several states since Ala
bama voted down the attempt to write
prohibition in the organic law and all
of them were right in their conclusion
that Alabamas action was far-reaching
on the right side Had the result been
the other way then Florida and per-
haps Texas would have been good for
drastic action.
mo state perhaps ever got better adj
vertising from any source than Alabama
did when the fact was published that it
had rolled up 1900 against radicalism.
81 believe that prohibition is a good
thing for rural communities; and 1t
might be well In some cities If saloons
were prohibited. 1 drink very little my
self and rarely ever taste anything
stronger than beer. but it does not seem
right for legislature to enact drastic
laws of any sort that apply to cities
without the consent of the peoples OF
those cities. Hence it is that practically
all statesmen and all fair-minded men of
every class favor local option and oppose
statewide prohibition"

The Iron Market.

There was considerable activity in the
pig iron market last week, and the ac-
tivity will increase as the month ad'
vances Sales of good tonnage have been
made within the past few days at s14 on
a No. 2 basis and one furnace interest
reports some small sales at $14.50
The tone is healthy and indications
point to a large buying movement before
the end of January. If the market does
not reach a s15 level within the next two
or three weeks, it will not lack much
of it. At-any rate, that is the opinion Of
a number of conservative iron makers.

The Decline of United States Bonds.

Many persons do not know that during
the past few years there has been mar
ket decline in the value of United States
bonds" said business man.
This is attributable largely to the
issue of large quantities of low interest
bonds which enabled new national banks
to buy bonds to secure their circulation
at par or a small premium above.
notice in a magazine article by an Okla
homa banker whose bank changed from
a national to state guarantee bank that
his bank received 5000 less for the United
States bonds than it paid for them.
"At one time United States As and SIS
we're at such premium that many banks
sold part of their holdings and reduced
their circulation. One of the largest
banks in Alabama did this some years
ago"
