That the law is not in reality an g.

act is contended by the railroads. In
the present case it is also contended
that the law is unavoidable, incap-
able of application; is not a regulation
of commerce within the authority of
congress, but temporary experiment

iuterferes with constitutional liberty
Of contract. as well as depriving the
railroads of the due process of law"

While the Missouri, Oklahoma &
Gulf has but few employees subject to
the act, being a small line and in the
hands of receivers, counsel admitted
that the test case is not typical of
many other large trunk lines, having
thousands of employees under con-
tract. Utmost freedom to present evil
dence regarding operation Of the law
upon all railroads, under all condi-
tions, was agreed upon in the present
case, so that the Supreme court should
have complete data affecting all rail-
roads.

Hundred Tourists Cars Are
Estimqtedto Be Going OOer
Dixie Highway During a Day

Florida is not ready for all year round
travel.
When the Dixie Highway Associa-
ton is in a position to announce to
the tourists that they can travel the
highway from enc terminus to another,
as the association expects to be able
to do before 1917 is brought to
close, the amount of travel which may
reasonably be expected, will unques-
tionably exceed the most optimistic
expectations at the present time.
Tie various communities along the
Diyie Highway are approaching the
returns in store for them by providing
the road and they are hard at work
doing their part A majority of the
counties on the eastern and western
divisions have been successful in
rersuading their State Highway De-
partments to give them Federal and
State Aid The most notable gaps
which are being closed up and which
will without question be open for trav-
ell ty fall of 1917 are along the eastern
division of the highway between Gin
cinati ard Knoxville, on the western
division between Nashville and Chat
tanooga, Tenn. on the central division
between Waycross and Jacksonville, on
the western division between Tala-
hassee and Gainesville, on the con-
Meeting link between Tallahassee ard

THE SERPENT. =
\ 4 = 4 = r = + = + =
There is a serpent on the Earth,
A beastial thing of venomed birth;
Deceit is in it's baleful eye;
Its very breath is infamy.
Yet some there be of weakling bind.
And some there be whose souls are
kind,
And some there be of pervert thought,
Anw some there be who reckon naught.
All these are glamoured by a charm
And see in it no thing of harm.
But they do say that it is fair
And that it hath beauty rare,
And they do say, as being blind,
That it is sent to bless mankind.
And yet it is loathly beast
That creepeth west and creepeth east;
1t creepeth here, 1t creepeth there;
Would God that it were otherwhere;
For it would rob all human souls
OF guerdons won through bitter tolls
And render naught the holy prize
Of suffering and sacrifice;
And those that fell onsea and plain
1t willeth to have died in vain;
And all the sacred blood of years,
And all the anguish and the tears,
1t mocketh for it would destroy
The victory that made death JOY,
The serpent cometh from place
Where shame hath fallen on the race,
And shame it beareth in its breast.
And falsehood lurketh on its crest.
1t knoweth well-for it is wise
That it must seem to honest eyes
Tht thing it is not-nor would be
To win it's damned mastery.
1t plotteth well-for it is wise
And it hath donned spurious guise,
And creeping east and creeping west,
The crown of falsehood on its crest,
That Freedoms stroke untimely cease,

CHATTANOOGA. Tenn, Jan. S.-An
estimate of 100 foreign tourist auto
mobile day travelling up and down
the Dixie Highway when it is open
for travel is considered entirely too
conservative in the light of reports of
travel over sections of the highway
Curing the month of December, and
INQUIRIES received by the Dixie High
way Association frim tourists desiring
to reach Florida and Southern Georgia.
John E. Gilbert of Jacksonville,
chairman Of the Duval County Dixie
Highway Council has advised the as
sociation the number of cars entering
jacksonville during December ex-
ceeded one hundred per day. This does
not take into consideration the num-
her of cars bound for west coast and
GENITAL Florida points which entered
Florida thru Tallahassee, Monticello,
l i've Oak and Lake City. Every sec
ton of the highway in Florida states
that the number of foreign cars in
their vicinity at this time which is in
advance of their regular season is
many times greater than that of any
previous year.
The tourists who are pouring into
Florida this winter over the Dixie
Highway and other routes leading
from the north, are doing so over roads

AUTOCRACY VERSUS POPULAR
GOVERNMENT

An autocrat is a supreme ruler
whose power is unrestricted and ire
sponsible. Such was Louis XVI, and
Napoleon in the height of his power,
and the czar of Russia until a few
months ago. And such is h kaiser
today in his own empire, and prac
tically such even in Austria-Hungary
and Turkey. An ~autocracy is a gov
eminent in which there are no consti-
tational rights of the people, or in
which these rights are so limited and
so ignored that the people have little
or no voice in the affairs of their gov
eminent. Caesarism, Napoleonism'
Czarism. Kaiserism all are but differ
ent ways of spelling autocracy. In
America we have never known by act
uaI experience it's meaning. France
has been free from it since the last
of the Napoleons. England has grad
ually freed herself it sinc the
| Great Charter was demanded by the
people in the thirteenth century and
BY which many constitutional rights OF
the people were wrested from an au-
t~ocratic power. Russia is, we hope
on her way to freedom. She has
thrown off autocracy rather than &C
cepted popular government Whether
she will remain free from autocracy
and gradually develop popular gov
eminent yet remains to be seen. II

enough to assert itself and make it

THE CITY

There are, perhaps, many things
which might be done to beautify our
city and make it a more desirable
place in which to live. But the one
thing which we have in mind now is
of enough interest to justify particu-
lar mention. 1t is the matter of beau
flying the parkway between the
streets and sidewalks. There is no
doubt as to whose duty it is to keep
these %parkways seeded, watered and
mown. 1t ought to be even more than
a duty. it ought t. be a matter of pride
on the part of every property owner
in the city to keep his parkway as we'll
as his lawn inside the walk in good
condition. That such care would en-
nance the value of the property is
cutie generally recognized. But 1t
ought to be lone simply as a matter
of making our city beautiful. Pres
sure ought to be brought to bear upon
absentee owners to induce them TO
Feep their property cleaned up and
in good condition. This year most va
cant lots are under cultivation but the
parkways in many places badly need
attention.
Could not some plans be worked
out to improve the appearance of our
city in this respect, and to prevent
t from getting in such a condition
another year?

THE HOME GUARDS

The Times has or several occasions
mentioned the advisability of organ
izing a company of home guards and
getting them out to drill. The COM
many has been organized in the face
of certain obstacles for which nobody
was to blame, and a good attendance
has been at the most of h drills, so
that an efficient company can be de-
PENDED on to get in line in case of
trouble, which everybody hopes will
not come.
II would be worse than useless to
overlook a certain unfortunate state
Of mind that is developing among
some of the boys who have attended
the drills regularly. They complain
at the absence of businessmen and the
remark was made Tuesday night that
some of the merchants felt too proud
10 come out and drill, but would ex-
pect them to get out and fight for the
protection of their places of business
in case of trouble. Certainly, this is
a mistake. The businessmen want to
get out and drill as well as anybody
and are not deferred by the unworthy
sentiments attributed to them. They
are busy men and canno always con-
veniently get away. And yet, in the
interest Of harmony. perhaps it would
be we'll for those who possibly can
to strain a point and get out, even at
some sacrifice to themselves, to the
drill at least nee a week.
The boys who are drilling regular
" do not expect businessmen to come
cut in any great number tonight, when
they have tickets for the big musical
festival. but they are expressing the
hope that more will be on hand next
Tuesday.

roads campaign. To be sure there are
certain preliminary facts that must
be ascertained by the committees in
charge. One is whether h proposed
bond issue shall be submitted to the
county as a whole or only to a new
district to b. created at this end. An
other is what sort of road is to be
built for the money if voted. The peo-
pie will want to know that They will
want information beforehand in re-
gard to the road and how long it will
last, and repair cost and other infor-
nation that competent engineers can
furnish.
When the information is at hand,
the work or organization will consist
of getting people together to show
them the facts, and to form clubs to
educate others. For some time the
matter of organizing for the Hansen
bridge was up in the air" last year.
Several meetings were called without
avail. Finally four taxpayers and one
non-taxpayer met in the rooms of the
Twin Falls Commercial club. The lat
ter moved the election of a chairman
and secretary then and there. After
some tendency to demur because there
wasn't a better attendance, the meet
ing elected officers and began a cam
paign that resulted in the carrying
OF the bonds. The people a been
mildly interested. but not interested
enough to attend meetings. When the
thing was put up to hem in an un-
6~erstandable way in a campaign of
zeal education. they voted the bonds.
Most of the people who voted for
the Hansen bridge bonds were at best
only remotely Interested in them from
a financial viewpoint, and many of
them were not interested at all. They
voted for them because they felt it
was the right thing to do. Most peo-
pie have a very direct interest in
good roads and will vote for them if
they get the proper information and
see that the plan is feasible.
