Following the above came the
presentation OF the building on the
part of the donors. This presenta-
tion was very feelingly given by Rev
Vincent Raw, now OF Cambridge,
Mass, and one Of the Trustees Of
The Seminary.
Mr.. Raw needed no introduction I
his audience as he was known TO
very nearly every one present. We
wish II were possible to present Mr.
Rayi's remarks In the very way

his lips. The forepart OF his re-

generosity OF those who had con
Eributed and made possible what for

trustees was read BY Hon. Loyeland

STORAGE BATTERY CARS.

The long-talked-of Edison storage
battery, of which the weight has been
the chief obstruction to its use in au
tomobiles and other vehicles, has been
successfully applied to railroad cars
A few days ago car equipped with
storage battery was run over the New
York Central lines between New YORK
and Boston, a distance of 80 miles
The car travelled at times at the rate
of forty miles an hour, thus goine
faster than the average steam train
but not so fast as the average express
It can run 100 miles, it is stated, with
out recharging, and as that takes an
hour to do, it is not expected to be
run over any but branch routes for the
present. A point of great Importance
for railroad men, however, Is that
while it will seat sixty passengers, 1t
costs only sixteen cents per car mile
to operate; whereas, the steam car
operation is said to cost 81 the mile,
and while the cost Of stopping and
starting the steam engine is given as
IS, the electric car stop and start cost
is so light as to be merely nominal

Deeds for the land conveyed to the
trustees of the Mississippi Normal Col

Montague and T. E. Ross, two from

MORE HEREsY FROM MuNsEY

Mr.. Frank Munsey, a sincere Prog
ressive, still seeks to unite the Prog
ressives with Republican party eman-
cipated from the bosses and in sym
pathy with liberal and humanitarian
policies. Whatever he thought of the
practicability Of his plan, Mr.. Munsey
shows both his bravery and his hereti-
cal pravity in this passage of his cop
ious and competent letter in yester-
days Press:
There is little in the Progressive
platform to which the great bulk of
the Republicans seriously object, save
the one plank on the recall of judicial
decisions. And one plank alone, a
plank of this nature, does not furnish
differentiation enough to justify the
maintenance of two distinct parties,
rendering each hopelessly Intellectual
in combating the solidified Democratic
forces.
IT can understand how single is

and unyielding stand against any COM
promise whatever. Lincoln had such
an issue in his fight against slavery.
1t was more than an issue-a cause,
great human cause. It was so big,
So Overwhelming, that all else in the
platform of the party was, for the
time, Incidental to II.
"Some members Of the Progressive
party, l might well say a good many
of them, have somehow or other come
to fancy that we, like Lincoln, are

THAT CONTINGENT FUND.

That executive contingent fund for
1912 called for $4,000 and the same
amount was appropriated for 1918.
Tuesday brought the report that Gov
ernor Brewer has appealed to the men,
bers of the legislature to give their
sanction to the negotiation Of loan
of $4,000 to be expended in aiding the
storm sufferers. The emergency fund
is made necessary because Of the de-
pletion of the executive contingent
fund" Ten thousand dollars gone in
less than thirteen months, and it was
supposed to cost twenty-five. Let's
have no more of the executive con
tingent fund in Mississippi; the lux

HEALTH CONDITIONS AN
ADVERTISING ASSET.

1t Is the custom for resorts with a
favorable climate to advertise this as
an inducement to tourists and invalids.
In the past, reference has often been
made to simply pure air." hot air"
or just ordinary blowing" Now that
the value of climatic conditions with
reference to health can be more cor
rectly estimated, mere statements as
to natural advantages in the way of
springs, air, sunshine, ETC., do not car
ry much weight. Something more def
mite much be presented. Health con-
ditions in city or resort, to be regard
ed as an asset for drawing visitors or
permanent residents, must be based
on actual figures, and many places now
vie with each other in that respect.
The Manitou Springs Hot Iron Club,
a commercial organization, in order to
attract visitors and residents, circu-
lates letter calling attention to the
vital statistics and morbidity record
Of that city, as compiled by the city
physician. This is commented on by
the Journal of the American Medical
Association, which adds: "The health
of its inhabitants is the best business
asset which any place can have, It is
good business and good advertising for
business mems associations to call at
tention to the actual figures with ref.
erence to their city In this manner"
