To Certain Proposed LegisIa.

Charles ]. Graham, of Pittsburg
president of the American Hardware
Manufacturers Association, speaking
In Birmingham, Ala, at Joint
convention of the American Hardware
manufacturers Association and the
southern hardware Jobbers said, / can
hardly omit reference to n great bust
ness question which seems to be CIV
ing southern as well as northern bust
ness men anxious thought-the ques-
ton OF railway regulation.
A leading advocate of correction for
existing defects in regulation is an
Alabama statesman, Oscar w. Under
wood, OF this city. That eminent ex-
ponent OF southern policy, OF whom
the whole country Is proud, began his
career In the Senate by announcing
that he regarded the railway question
as the most important now remaining
for solution. What is needed, he de-
clared, is that Congress shall confide to
federal authorities the regulation that
Is now attempted by forty-eight states
and the nation besides.
This declaration was the occasion of
considerable surprise. among a number
OF the senator's acquaintance. and
they Inquired of him what the business
men OF Alabama would think OF such

Second-there is no greater single
factor in national defense than our
railroads, and the question of national
defense Is the big one before us to-
day. 1t is Of paramount importance to
the South, as well us to the North, as
ten southern states are exposed to
foreign attack by water. The rail-
ways which connect and serve our
coast Notifications should be double
tracked and provided with facilities for
prompt and effective movement of mu-
nitions and men. One state pulling
against another in the regulation Of
our carriers would cause laundering
and delay. The people Of no southern
state. the people OF no state in any
part Of the Union. will tolerate such a
situation for moment, once they
understand II.
To many the Capitalization Of
power is novel; to some it appears
dangerous. Complete conversion to 1t
may take time. The significant fact Is
that sentiment here in the very seat
OF the states rights tradition is facing
the facts. Men see that our railways
have ceased developing either in
quantity or in quality. They know
that the result is full OF peril both to
our Industrial and agricultural de-
velopment and to our national security.
It is not reasonable to suppose that
men engaged in either business or
agricultural pursuits in any section Of
the Union would stand in the way Of
a proposition which means the full de-
velopment Of our national resources,

A PROPER QUESTION
Why did the New Store choose Aprons for comparison
THE ANSWER

Because house aprons common staple and the
prices seldom change.
Because Aprons easily inspected and the value
Judged while piece goods. groceries. shoes
sweaters rbbens etc not except by cx-
perts
Because Mail Order Houses staples leaders that
is they sell well known articles at smaller pro-
fits in order to create the impression that all
other goods cOrrespondingly low priced
therefore IF The New Store sells better
Aprons staple for the same price and
makes good profit. it sells other articles
not staples of Better Quality for the
price the Mail Order House.
