Some Plain Duties of the Hour.

Sober and restrained speech. Hot
and ill considered words never hasten
the righteous outcome.
A quiet and steady mind. Clear
thinking is a Christian virtue Scare
headlines do not always tell the whole
truth.
The trusting rather than the fear.
full attitude. God is still on his throne.
Greater devotion to prosaic every
day duties On their cheerful anu
faithful fulfllIment rest the founda
tons OF civilization.
Greater good will toward all witt
whom we have to do. The world mar
kets are not oversupplied just a:
present with the commodity known
as every day friendliness.
Prayer for ourselves and for all
men. microscopy prayer on the part
of the millions OF protesting Christian
throughout the world may prove
mightier than battalions in bringing
order out of chaos and peace out OF
strife.
Fairness toward President Wilson
He is Christian man who seeks daily
divine guidance. He is the President
of the people many OF whom know not
their own minds, many of whom are
as sure of their own opinion as those
who differ totally with them are sure
of theirs. Be fair with the president
He is carrying the heayi/jt load that
any American has borne since Abra

Some of the names are of men who need no introduction to the country.
 JamesiJ. Hill is one of these. So also is James A. Farrell. who is chairman of the council, and Robert Dollar of San Francisco. Fairfax Harrison of dis tinguished-. southern family is gaining even greater distinction than any asso- cated with purely domestic relationships by son of his success in directing the Southern railway system. Cyrus H. Mc- Cormick does not need to be identified. Every one in the mining industry is fla milar with the achievements of John D. Ryan, who, some are persuaded, is really the leader in the copper industry in the United States Willard Straight of New York, young as he s can look back upon unusual achievements in the held of international financing. among which were his arrangements for a loan of $5O'- O00, GOO for China in the United States.
 On the Pacific slope, the name of Theo- dore B. wilcox of Portland, Ores, typi- fies some of the remarkable achievements of the men of large affairs in that region. William l.. Saunders of New York rep resents American machinery that IS found cin all parts of the world where mining or transportation activities are In progress, and especially in South Africa. Probably no man in New York is more familiar with the Balkan peninsula, so- called than MT Saunders, for he has made personal inspection of it with view of establishing there, as he did, consid- erable market for American apparatus used in mining, excavating and railway con struction. Frank A. Vanderlip of New York bears name which is known in all the banking centers of the world, and in many places where American branch Oanks have been established. The entire Mississippi valley is familiar with the business career of John Crosby of Minne- apolis, which ranks him among the great mefchants of the United States. And in the south there is no better known name in the financial or industrial life of that section than J. R. McWane of Birming- ham.

of the Foreign Trade council, men who as whole will reflect American finance, industry and commerce. not only domes- tic, but also as much of these activities as bring us into association with foreign countries.
 The Foreign Trade council is spoken of as exemplifying the new spirit of cooper ation. Some of the members of this coun- cil are democrats and some are repub- licans. There may be two or three of progressive tendencies, but all political distinctions are left outside the door when this council meets It is able when in ses- sion to hear from Walter l.. Clark, who Is the treasurer of the council, as from a man of high authority. for it was Mr. Clark then in London who in the face of intense competition and of all the po- litical influence the British government was able privately to bring to bear to secure the contract for American co-oper- ation for the equipment of the great ar senal in Australia, with apparatus and machinery for the manufacture of rfses.
 Only recently was the last installment of these commodities sent to Australia. The foreign trade convention, which Is to meet at New Orleans. is expected to con centrate it's discussions and it's action upon the question: What Is the best way to increase our foreign markets, especially after the war is ended? And. also, what

is to be the relation of the tariff in aid-

Not necessarily one that favors protection, nor, on the other hand. a low traiff, but. instead, truly scientific and real economic policy which may serve the American people in maintaining and increasing their foreign trade and their domestic as well. Upon this subject. Willard Straight, who is president of the American-Asiatic association, will speak, and James A. Farrell will set forth what his experience and sound thinking have shown him to be the relation of the in yestment of American capital in other countries to the development of our for eign trade.
 A WORK OF PREPARATION
 For some months, the Foreign Trade council has been occupied with investiga- ton into the more pressing questions of the maintenance of our foreign trade and the increase of it. What these investiga- tions have disclosed has not been re- vealed. for it has been deemed expedient to wait until this convention at New Or leans and then disclose what the inves- tigations have resulted in. But it is known in a general way that they have confirmed the members of the council in the view that the American tariff should be taken out of politics, should be con- sidered by body of experts who will disdain all political influence and who will be prepared to lay before Congress what in their opinion are fair and wise tarifl rates.
 There are some intimatiOns that some members of the council are in sympathy with the statement of George w. Perkins who confessed that he was disappointed that the government at Washington, al the time the Anglo French loan was
 under negotiation, did not take advantage of the opportunity for suggesting tho benefit of certain reciprocal tariffs. The meeting at New Orleans is regarded by some members of the council as one oi l the most important of the steps which arc
 now being taken to put ourselves in readi. ness to meet opportunities and condition.

HUNTSVILLE

Huntsville, January 11.-(Special) The Huntsville Chamber of Commerce has been notified by the Southern rail- road that the passenger schedule which was in effect before the business de- pression last spring will be restored on Sunday, January 16. The railroad will give Huntsville train both east and west in the morning, both of which will be great convenience to the trav- cling public.
 A statement is being prepared by the city commission and those who are opposed to the recall of the commission and restoration of the aldermanic form of government in vogue here a few years ago. The commission will claim that a board of aldermen could not have done anything less than raise the city privilege taxes and water rates and that the commission had the ad- vice and counsel of six of the best business men in the city who were ap- pointed at a mass meeting several weeks ago to advise what could be done with reference to the city's if nancial embarrassment. Petitions have been in circulation several days calling upon Probate Judge I4awler to order an election for the purpose of changing the citys form of govern ment.
 Two cars of freight train No. 73 on the Southern railway jumped the track in the northern part of the city last night and delayed traffic for an hour. Only small damage was done. Mrs. Amy Young of McMinnville, Tenn. died here last night at the home i of her sister. Mrs. Carrie Jones' after experiencing two fainting spells in the : train that brought her to Huntsville Heart trouhle was tho cause of death.
