THE prospective railroad strike has
| been settled
- As a matter of fact, since the
President of the United States injected his
office into the controversy, and appealed
the issue to Congress, 1t was foregone
conclusion that there could be no general
railroad strike in this country.
The settlement is not entirely satisfac
tory to the owners and managers Of the
railroads, but under the Adamson bill the
public cannot be annoyed in the future.
The government, through the interstate
commerce commission, will handle the
railroad situation of this country in the
future and there will be no further fur
ries or raising of prices of food products
and other perishable things and no fear
of the stoppage of trains by virtue of dis
satisfied labor.
That the proposed strlRe mas been set
tied is good thing for the people gem
orally and especially SO to the old and
faithful railroad employees.
Now that the excitement and agitation
is over, why should not we of the Bir.
mingham district enjoy a period Of unex-
ceiled business prosperity.

The politicians who congregate around
the corners of First and Second avenues
and talk about Whats the matter with
Birmingham" should walk across the
Twenty-frst street bridge and see what
Is going on.

little manufacturing section of Birming.

I found lots of people making lots OF
money and doing all sorts of things.

DEMOCRACY

BY James Russell Lowell.
To the door of every generation there
comes knocking and unless the house,
hold, like the Thane of Cawdor and his
wife, have been doing some deed with
out name, they need not shudder. 1t
turns out at worst to be a poor relation
who wishes to como in out Of the cold.
The porter always grumbles and is slow
to open. who's there. in the name OF
Beelzebub?" he mutters. Not a change
for the better in our human housekeep-
ing has ever taken place that wise and
good men have not opposed it-have not
prophesied with the alderman that the
world would wake UP and find its throat
cut in consequence Of It, The world. on
the contrary, wakes up, rubs it eyes,
yswns. stretches itself, and goes about
its business as il nothing had happened.

rhe Tick. q Counts Matter

Because the cattle tick always has
been in the south is no reason why it al
ways should be- said John c. Moses,
ir charge of The Weekly Age-Herald.
When the federal government, as a re-
suit of it's Investigations into the harm
done by the pest, determined in 1906 to
undertake the work of systematic eradi-
cation. its first step was to quarantine
the infested area. This territory included
at that time 72S,543 square miles 1t has
since been reduced to 444.022 square miles
and tens of thousands of miles are being
freed from quarantine each year
1T is obvious, therefore, that the tick
can be driven out. The process is a
simple one, and it's efficiency proven.
Regular dipping in arsenical baths of all
the cattle in county will put an end
to the pest in the course of one season.
This fact is indisputable. The lack Of
success in some cases has invariably been
due to condition which have made dip
ping irregular or incomplete There are
always some parsons who, if left to them
selves, will shirk their share in the work
and neglect to bring their cattle to the
watts. In some way these must be forced
to do their part Again, the number of
watts may be too few to handle all the
stock and the consequent delays may Sc
riously interfere with the progress Of the
work. Such obstacles, however, always
can be overcome They do not affect the
essential point that the tick can be elmi-
mated whenever and wherever the people
are determined to do so. Primarily tick
eradication Is county matter. and must
be accomplished by county effort

National bank. There Is nothing like

proposition that is bound to mean much

Even though we should not land the

District Attorney Enforces Dry Law.

District Attorney Enforces Dry Law.
For some time past Silverton has en-
joyed the unenviable reputation of be-
ing 30 far behind the times as not to
know that the state had gone dry.
This condition could exist only during
the recess of Distsict court and has
been changed during its present session
at Silverton. Judge Searcy called a
grand jury and Geo. w. Lane, our Dis
trict Attorney, collected and examined
nearly sixty witnesses before it with
such effect that twenty indictments
were returned. Mr.. Lane hauled the
defendants into court last Monday and
the Silverton school fund has been en-
riched by fines aggregating $24O0, with
three indictments yet to hear from.
The entrance of Silverton on the side
of law and order makes the Sixth
Judicial District the banner district of
the state for the enforcement of the
dry law. Mr.. Lane and all the other
officers of the district deserve much
commentator over this result. ADV.
