 'The Ice Cream Book" One of the other unique and attractive features will served by the club. It will be in the shape of a book, will be splendid representa- tion of a book, on top of which, when opened up, will be found a printed leaf giving an extract from one of Oscar w. Underwood's speeches, as follows:
 'I know of no characteristic in man ths t points more surely to the possession of nobility of character and purity of pur- pose than that which impels him to show consideration for others.'
 T want to say to you there Is no gold en road to knowledge: every man is rc- quired to pay the same price for it. It can only be acquired by work, whether the seeker for 1t be the son of mill lionaire or a pauper."
 You owe a duty to yourself to live that you may find happiness in your every day life and that can only be found by doing well your part and obeying the laws of God and mAn."
 Life is divided into two classes: Those who ride and those who are ridden Most Of all character gives you a seat in the saddle. but 1t takes strength, intelligence and education to hold that seat if it be a high one after you have mounted and are ready to ride"
 "Only those find happiness who have learned that love of humanity the broad ening of the soul, self respect and truth. are the true riches of the soul, and that peace is earth's greatest reward
 Character brings the opportunities of life.' OSCAR w. UNDERWOOD.

Mobile, November 23-The investigation by the interstate commerce commission into the charges of discrimination against the port of Mobile made by the Chamber of Commerce and Horace Turner & Co. against the Mobile and Ohio and South ern railways, was adjourned by Examiner Boyle at o'clock this evening to be taken up again before the committee In Wash ington on January 20. 1912 this date being fixed by agreement with counsel for both sides. ,- Ns8
 On the practice of the railroads other than the Illinois Central in New Orleans of absorbing switching charges, General Traffic Manager Lincoln Green of the Southern testified that Illinois Central. having it's own docks, made the rate to New Orleans and the roads which had to include two switching and terminal charges in their rates made the rates ac- cordingly. Foreign Freight Agent J. 5. Taylor of the Mobile and Ohio and Mr. Green stated that the railroads would not absorb switching and terminal charges to city wharves or docks if such were built out of reach of their own rails, although within reach of other lines by which switching could be obtained.
 The only other witness was Manager Sanders of the Leyland Harrison Steam ship line. New Orleans, president of the Mobile Liners. incorporated. which IS given service to British and continental ports by the Leyland Harrison and Ham burg American lines, in contract with the Mobile and Ohio and Southern to furnish freight and dock facilities.

MOBILE WILL BE
 RAILROAD CENTER Frisco to Develop Port De-
 clares YOukum OUTLOOK PROMISING
When Short Stretch Is Completed Mobile Will Have Direct Connec- tion With Chicago-AnOther
 Outlet for Birmingham

Mobile, November 2S.-(SpeciaL)- That it is the intention of the new owners of the New orleans. Mobile and Chicago railroad, the Frisco system, to develop the port of Mobile into one of the great railroad centers Of the southern states, was the statement or B. F. Yoakum, chairman of the board of directors of the Frisco system, Just before his departure for New Orleans tonight. MT. Yoakum further stated that, in the very near future, Mobile would have direct connections, via the lines of his sysetem, with Kansas city St. Louis and Chicago, and that the connections with the Birmingham dis trict would result in the Magic City securing another outlet to the gulf for the products, both raw and manufac- 1ured, of the mineral belt of Alabama.
 There remains but 45 miles of the road to be completed to make the connection between Chicago and Mo- bile,' said MT. Yoakum, and as soon as this is built first class service will be inaugurated and Mobile will even tually be transformed into one of the great railway centers of the south.
 The special train conveying the party left Louisville this morning at ' o'clock and reached Mobile this evening at 4:30, an hour and a half behind schedule time. Owing to the fact that arrangements had been made to leave for New Orleans at o'clock the party did not come up to the city, excepting on the train after it's delivery to the Louisville and Nashville, when a stop of but a few minutes was made. After arriving at the N. o. M. X c. station, the train was switched to the docks of the company, where a brief in spection was made the party also looking over the Turner Hartwell docks. When this was concluded the trains started al- most immediately for New Orlans.
 MT. Yoakum, on the run south from Louisville. expressed pleasure at the physical condition of the property, stat ing that he would hardly recognize it as the road he passed over several years ago, when it was the Mobile, Jackson and Kansas City. He was accompanied on the trip from New Albany by Vice Presi- dent Owen and a number of lesser off cials of the New Orleans. Mobile md Chicago.
 MT. Yoakum stated incidentally that the Frisco had a large majority of the stock of the New Orleans Mobile and Chfcagoi and that the holdings of the Louisville and Nashville therein were merely nomi- nal.

 .yif, gentlemen, leaving out all oth- CT considera tions, it is not at all i'm proper on an occasion like this to re- call the fact that among the brightest chapters of the press of this country are those devoted to the achievements of the democratic party. Commencing virtually with the foundation of the government, it has passed through many trials and tribulations but while the press has recorded the death and burial of all its early day rivals, it has remained firm as the rock of ages, standing upon the basic truths which brought 1t into being, and which have never been departed from. That adher- ence to principle presages that the press will be able to announce another victory in the near future over the partys most formidable and longest lived opponent.
 Under Lead of Jefferson
 '.Under the lead of Jefferson the deni- ocratic party, called forth for faithful allegiance and loyal obedience by the state to the federal government with = in the limits of the constitution, the careful and Vlgllant preservation to the states of their autonomy and their Independence in all matters not grant ed to the federal authority; the equal and impartial rights and privileges of the people, the careful and economic expenditure of public money and the just imposition of impartial taxation for revenue only.
 All his and the party's utterancos since have been in strict accord with this declaration of principle. There may have been brief excursions into other and untred fields, but in the end the great bulk were back at the old fam fly freside, and standing by the doc trines of the fathers.
 By the acquisition. of Louisiana iil 1903, MT. Jefferson established the fact that we can acquire territory under the constitution it then and now stands Without entering into that question and allowing for all differences of opinion that may exist, it is safe to say that no one now regrets the democratic ae- tion under which we obtained Texas and the territory extending to the Pa cific ocean The same democratic ad- ministration under which Texas came into the union gave us the Walker tar

Under Underwood's Leadership

Hinder the masterful management of your distinguished guest, Oscar w, Un- derwood, democratic discontent and divis- ion in Congress disappeared and the great party has demonstrated that while it's rep resentatives in the House on some mat ters are distinct like the pillows, on the great and overshadowing issue of reduc- tion of burdens of tariff taxation, they are one like the sea.
 Tt has not been because of fulsome adulation of the press or any fictitious methods for securing public favor, that Oscar Underwood occupies today a posi- tion recognized as one of the most power ful in the government. His advance ment, popularity and power are due to the ability and courage with which he was by nature endowed, and the en- thusiasm here manifested is but an in dieation of a wide sweeping feeling that he should go still higher"
 Following Major Screws address MT. Morrow introduced Congressman !. Thomas Heflin. who was to speak on Ways and Means,' in the following lan- guage:
 Calls on Helfin
 Tt is meet and proper that the ways and means of accomplishing the end wished for. and destined to be, should Ce illuminated tonight. We are to he congratulated that such a task has fallen to one so eloquent and convincing. It gives me pleasure to call upon Hon I Thomas Hefiin, who will tell usa about Ways and Means.' ?
 One of the happiest speeches of the evening was made by Congressman Hef- lin. He spoke concerning the part the south has played in the framing of the present government, referred to the pa- triotic remarks of Patrick Henry. the actions of Richard Henry Lee, the writ ing of the declaration of independence by Thomas Jefferson, the leadership of
