Montgomery, May 7.--lspeciaL )~-Repre- sentatives of railroad and public utility commissions of Georgia, Florida, Missis- sippi, Louisiana, Tennessee, Virginia, North and South Carolina and probably KeNucky will meet with the Alabama public service commission at the Ex- change hotel in Montgomery on May y2 to discuss important. matters relating to railroads. The conference was called following a meeting of commissioners of Virginia, Georgia and Mississippi at Ashlands N. C., on April 10.

 It is the idea of the railroad and uti1- ity commissions to perfect some system atic basis for rates in-all states. Classi- fications will be changed so as to place all states on as equal basis as possible. The visitors will be welcomed to Mont gomery by Samuel P. Kennedy, president of the Alabama commission.

Montgomery, May 7.-(Special. )-Con- gressman John L. Burnett of the Seventh district. in letter to citizen of Mont gomery, made public today. announced that the committee on public buildings Of the lower house of Congress had all ready provided an appropriation of s1o,- oOV0O for the construction of hospitals for soldiers, sailors and marines and ex- pressed the opinion that $50 900, ,0O0 will be appropriated for hospitals this year if that amount is needed
 Congressman Burnett made a speech in Birmingham two weeks ago, in which he stated that the national government would expend such amounts as necessary in caring for those who fought the war ana his letter was an amplification of his address and resulted from inuuiries about what Congress had done
 referred to the fact that Congress had appropriated s10,o00000 for hospital purposes for discharged soldiers in speech which I made last week in Bir- mingham," said Congressman Burnetts letter T am not prepared to say that a building for the preservation of official records, etc, would be better than a hos pital building as a memorial. The ques- ton of whether the state would take greater pride and interest in one or the other Is matter about which l am not advised.
 AS a member of the committee on pubic buildings, however I know that we promptly and readily made an appro- priation of s10,000O00 for the construc- ton of hospitals for discharged soldiers to be constructed and controlled by the bureau Of health. I know, furthermore, that It was stated by representatives of that bureau that many additional mil liens would be asked for the same pur- pose and the committee expressed it's readiness to make additional appropria- tions.
 There are two purposes in this: First, the humane and patriotic purpose of talk Ing care of wounded and disabled sol ulers, and second, of saving money to the government by curing such as could De cured and thereby decreasing the amount of compensation allowed them during their disability I have no doubt but that at least $50, 900 will be appro- priated by Congress within the next year II II IS needed for this worthy purpose.

the richness Of their fabrics; in
the excellence of their finish;
everywhere, every place, in fact.
If you need coat you will sure
ly purchase one of these on the

Burleson's Telephone Failure

Substantial popular support will be given to
the appeal of the National Association of Rail
way and Public Utilities commissioners that
the telegraphs and telephones be restored to
their owners
The question is not whether there was any
Justification for governmental seizure of these
lines or whether there has been favoritsm, as
is charged in the financial arrangements which
the Postofce department has made with them
What chiefly concerns the people at this time
is the matter Of service. That it is poor and
growing poorer and that there is no prospect OF
improvement will be very generally admitted
1t has been charged that the department took
over these lines with a definite purpose to es-
tablish national ownership, plan which post
masters general of both parties have advocated
for several years. If that was the aim expert
ence has not demonstrated the wisdom of the
enterprise.
Under private management the telephone in
New York was efficient and trustworthy. In
the hands OF the Postofice department it has
become in many cases exasperating nuisance.
Judging public operation by its perform
ances for six months past, it is failure and
furthermore it furnishes the worst possible
recommendation for Postmaster General Bur-
leson's grand scheme of public ownership

LET us CONCENTRATE OUR EFFORTS.

Omaha is entertaining number of projects
just at the present time, some OF them quite
nebulous, none of them very far advanced, and
a few at least of doubtful character as to FEAST
bility or desirability. The absence of definite
or fixed program renders discussion of any Of
the suggested schemes desultory or ineffective.
The growth of the city is faster than most
of its inhabitants can appreciate or understand.
Rrovisions that were considered ample few
years ago have been outgrown, and those of the
moment are being strained every day to meet
requirements. This in itself has nterfered with
the realization of great many dreams for pub
lie improvement or the setting up of convent
ences for general accommodation. Experience
ought to teach US something in this connection.
Instead of scattering around with multi
pcity of alluring projects and getting nothing
done on any, would it not be wise to carefully
consider all determine what are most needed,
what will be most useful and what we can best
afford and finally to decide on something and
do it?
For illustration, the enthusiasm for SOL
ders' memorial little while back was so gen.
eral that almost any sort of plan would have
had support had it been presented in a concrete
form. Tentative suggestions then made have
been laid aside or forgotten, other proposals
equally tentative have been brought forward
and we have made no nearer approach to de-
cison than when the subject was originally
preached
Would it not be we'll for our expensive city
planning board, the city commissioners. the
Chamber Of Commerce and other public and
quasi-pubc agencies to get together unite on
some program and set the wheels in motion to
accomplish something other than inconsequen-
tal debate?

Another Call From the Red Cross.

Peace conference delays are accepted as a
matter of diplomacy, the processes of which
are generally those of delay. The naked women
and children OF the devastated districts of Eu-
rope are not clothed by fine words and ringing
proclamations from Paris. Neither do we'll
workedup arguments for abstract principles
provide shelter for sufferers turned out into the
weather by war. Therefore the American Red
Cross again has appealed to our people for do
nations of cast-off clothing. Omaha is allotted
the task OF gathering $4,000 pounds of this
elothing and is'asked to have it ready at once.
That is the proposition, stated in its simplest
terms A short, intensive "drive" is being
planned, and the big-hearted people of the COM
munty are hereby adjured to ransack their
closets and wardrobes that they may locate
anything left over from previous drives, or
which, may have been laid aside since the last
one, and have it ready for the workers. for the
destitute of Europe need it. and there is no
other way to clothe them at the present time.

In Mr.. Wilson's case one is tempted
