Abba.
The finn fam man has visited AL
bia again and he has again been sue
cessful. A fellow giving his name as
H. NJ. Miller. and put up the tale that
he had been working on a railway
out Of Abba, was at the Byerlee
hotel. When it came time for him
to make settlement he handed Mr..
Byerlee a check which was readily
cashed for him. The man left the
hotel and nothing was thought of the
matter for some time until 1t oc-
Cured to Mr.. Byerlee he had better
see what the check was worth. One
look was enough for the cashier OF
one Of the banks and the piece OF
paper was passed back to Mr. Byerlee
with the remark N. G. The matter
had not been reported to the police
and the fellow had ample time to get
far away from the city before IT had
even been learned he had been in the
city.
Abba.
A new coal field will be developed
south Of Abba, distance Of five miles.
This will be one Of the largest mines
in the county and the operators say
will last in the neighborhood Of thirty
years. Within the next three months
options will expire which will cause the
company to expend $4,000 among tho
farmers for that which unGeriies their
farms The estimated cost Of the new
field. fully developed, will be 100000.
A new town will be started, the railway
will be extended four and one-half
miles from the Milwaukee, and the
Wabash and NJ. & ST. L. will be tapped
with side tracks. The company will
make this one Of the largest mines in
the county and expect within year to
be producing as much coal as half a
dozen Polk county or Appanoose conn-
ty mines. It will mean millions OF dol
lars will be expended for labor and the
great bulk Of that money will find Its
way into the business channels Of AL
bia.

Commercial Aviation.

Carrying passengers and freight in
airships as 4 definite transportation en-
terprise is perhaps a long way off, but
significant of the faith of men in the
possibilities of commercial aviation is
the formal incorporation of a company
in New Jersey for this purpose. The
expressed intention of the incorporators
set forth in the articles of incorporation
is the building and operation of and
the carriage of passengers and freight
in aeroplanes.'
As frequently pointed out, the sci
ence and practice of aviation is making
remarkable progress. BY means of the
dirigible .airship and the hydro-aero-
plane experts have begun to see that
it will be possible some time to use
the air as a means of transit, much as
the earth is now employed for that
purpose. ..
As bearing upon the question Of
realizing this end, it is only necessary
TO consider that the evolution OF the
locomotive and steamship has been
slow; that it has taken many years to
bring the trolley car to perfection, and
that the automobile is at least a quarter
of century old as practical road ma
chine. Fast as the air-men have pro-
gressed with their inventions and ex-
periments, we need not expect much
greater advancement in a less period
of time than has been the case with
vehicles running on land and through
the seas. 1t is, however, truly signih-
cant that corporate enterprise is taking
hold Of the aeroplsne in earnest, with
a view TO harnessing it to the service
of mankind.

nae Washington Herald's Record.

The Washington Herald devotes some
space this morning to its own record for
the past year. II is a record which
deals intimately with District affairs and
demonstrates that The Herald has been
dominant factor in advancing local
interests.
Every proposition looking toward the
progress of the National Capital or the
betterment of individual welfare has
found in The Washington Herald a
sturdy and effective champion. This
service has been rendered with gener-
osity and heartiness. II is pleasant to
know that results have been attained ;
better still TO realize that the Washing
ton people feel that in The Washing
ton Herald they have a courageous
friend.
In the year which begins to-day The
Herald will be found, as in the past,
laboring Persistently and earnestly for
the best interests of the National Capt.

NO-TIP CRUSADE

Head OF Drummers' Body
Opposes Gratuities.

New York. Dec. 51.-The anti-tipping
crusade received a stsIwart recruit to-
day, when p. E. DOVE, president Of the
Commercial Travellers National League.
came out with the announcement that
his organization will combat the prac-
tice, Of giving gratuitles TO employees Of
hotels. restaurants. barber shops. and
Pullman cars. Mr.. Dove puts Il on the
broad ground that not only will the tip
rers be able 70 obtain what they pay
for regularly. but the tipped will be ele-
vated from q menial place, dependent on
charity. to that of regular wage-earne-s.
From to-day the crusade against tip
ping will begin IN earnest" says Mr..
Dove. THE victims OF this pernicious
system realize that to break the chains
which bind, Il Is now or never" He de-
clsres that the hotel and restaurant pro-
prietors are making extraordinary prof.
its as it is, and yet their greed Is re-
sponsfole for the system now In vogue.

old-time fashion OF gifts from the rich
patron to the poor servant is out Of
place IN these modern days. Once II was
the distinction between the high and
mighty and the lowly; now the tip Is

enforced premium upon contract prices.
Stop tipping" he says, and the hotel
help, will be placed in a less menial po-
sition and Pullman porters advanced;
stop tipping and they will become earn
ers OF adequate wages. instead OF strong

STATESMEN, REAL AND NEAR.
BY FRED c. KELLY

One would look a long way to md q
handler man at getting people out OF jail
than Representative Thomas Montgomery
Bell, OF Georgia. Bell is the leading jail
deliverer OF the sunny Southland, and his
record compares favorably with that OF
any man IN the country having a similar
specially.
The thought OF a man languishing in
gloomy old jan. without comforts OF
home. saddens Bell And the only thing
that win cheer him Is to get the man a
pardon. He goes to the governor OF the
State. tells him how tough IL must be TO
sit in a jail cell all day. and II he doesn't
succeed in making the governor weep
over the pathos OF It all. he al least
comes away with the pardon. II Is
known throughout Georgia what a good
hearted little Jail deliverer Bell is, and
his daily mail here Is burdened with
missives from men who express earnest
desire to go forth from their present con-
fines.
One man, in for moonshinIng, wrote
the other day. saying:
IF you Will get me out OF jail, / will
promise TO obey the eternal revenue laws
always hereafter"
Last summer Bell got letter from
former Representative Keliher. OF Bos-
ten, telling him that n certain Bostonese
constituent toiled under the torrid South
ern sky with a Georgia chain gang, work
ing out a six months sentence for beat
ing his way On train, all of which was
entirely abhorent to his hlgh-strung Bos-
ten temperament.
So Bell dug up a pardon for the Boston
man. He got the sheriff out, OF bed late
one night and drove out into the country
TO barracks where the. chain CANCERS
were corraled at night.
II have a pardon here for John Smith.
citizen OF Boston," announced Bell, in
declamatory tone. "Will you be good
enough to produce him?"
Don't see how / can," replied the boss
guard Of the chain CANCERS. That fel-
low got away from US four weeks ago

Senator Joseph NJ. Dixon. OF Montana,
the man who doc" Cook says in his
north pole story. Is a Quaker and rea-
sonably free from blood-thIrstiness. But
he made the fight Of his life some years
sGo, when prosecuting attorney OF
Montana county, to have Jerry Smith
hanged by the neck until dead, or ap-
TT, xinately dead.
Jerry was one Of the leading murderers
Of the community. and in the course of
the trial he passed the word along that
II he ever got loose he would kill Dixon
for making such a fight against him.
Dixon then worked all the harder. hop
Ing TO avoid having another murder stain
the fair name OF his county. But Jerry
was not hanged: instead. he was sem
tenced to serve forty years in the peni-
tentiary. That made Dixon feel some
easier. as he figured he might grow long
gray whiskers during the forty years, so
that Jerry wouldn't know him when he
got out

OUT OF POLITICS
Grandfield FaVors Two Re.

A strong recommendation that the
Presidential postmasters be covered into
the classified service, thus removing
these appointments from politics, is con-
tanned in the annual report OF Charles
P. Grandheld. First Assistant Postmaster
General. II Is President Taft's idea that
Presidential postmasters and practically
all other Federal oficiAls In a subordi-
mats capacity should be appointed in ac-
cordance with the merit principle. Dur
ing the last year u per cent Of the post
masters whose commissions expired were
reappointed.
First Assistant Grandfeld again urges
that employees OF the postal service be
allowed thirty days annual leave with
pay. He points out that employees IN
practically every other department OF
the public service obtain thirty days an
nual leave. and may take an additional
thirty days leave on account Of Illness
upon the certihcation OF a physician.
Mr. Grandheld recommends that pro-
vision be made by the government for
superannuated employees.
