NeWport's Expressed Interest.

Two visitors from Newport Satur- day who took q leading and influ- ehtial part in behalf of Paragould' g
 aspirations to land the Lone Star
 Route this way were Arthur Sted-
 man, formerly of this city. and
 Sheriff Hays, of Jackson county.
 Sheriff Hays expressed himself as
 feeling appreciative of paragould's s interest in the enterprise, though he
 at the same time realized how the citizens along the other proposed route felt about the enterprise and was satisfied with the result of q flair contest for the prize.
 Mr. Stedman, however. was q genuine booster for Paragould's in- terest in the road and he made il known with, characteristic energy and pressiveness. He did sorne very active work Tn behalf of this 1citys interest in the contest and il
 was the kind that had real effect

'ductors, commenting yesterday on Ithe action of the shop crafts i'll vot-
 ing against joining the strike, said;
 T do not construe their action to
 be a break with the brorherhoods.
 They are probably reserving to them selves The right to take action in
 tie natter in their own way. and pursuing their own tactics President Lee of the trainmen yesterday issued a statement on the j''human side" of the railroad wage question, ill part as follows: 1t is to be wondered whether the public really understands the rail way wage reduction question. There .are more through freight brakenlen in the United States than there are iall other train and yard service ,omployes combined, and this class ot service and the passenger train e1n- sployes represent rhe lowest rates of wages raid.
 s'.A through freight brakeman ir paid at present $4.4S for an eight hour day, or aJ the rate Of J6 cents ian hour. If the proposed wage cut is nade effective he will receive 5l teents an hour, CT $4.0S day. Pas tsenger service employees receive twc icert4 an hour more than this, and local freight and yard men receive la slightly higher rate"
 This means that the bulk of the itraln service employes receive ap- iproximately $27 a week for six day week, and whatever is earned above that amount is through extra
 service. The service is paid for on mileage basis, but not on an eight hour basis except for freight runs that are within loo miles. Over time is not paid OH strictly eight ] hour basis except in yard service land or runs up to 100 miles.
 "-rAe loW-paid train and yard cnl- {ployes have to meet the same high cost of living that the public must meet. They are asking only fan service conditions and fair day, pay.
 The railroads do not tell the whole truth eff daily wages paid when they quote higher amounts Of wages earned, because they do moi say they represent time and eX,ra time.
 There is an abiding faith in tic fairness of the American people when they understand the truth oi the situation, and what has here been said is the truth and can be proven"

CLERKS DECIDE
 NOT TO GO OUT
 WITH BIC FIVE

1HiCo5O. oCt. IiC PA p.'pNN N rail strike scheduled for October 30 was limited 10 approximately one fourth of the nation s railroad en- ployes when officials of the Brother hood oi Railway and Steamship Clerks, Freight Handlers, Express and Station Enployes, representing 350, ,000 men, voted last night not to authorize q walkout by their mem bers ''for the time being"
 This action increased the number of major rail unions, which have voted not to strike now to nine, and tho number of railroad e1nployos bound by snch negative actions to of the country's total Of approximately 100000.
 Decision Not Final
 The vote was taken in a meeting which lasted several hours, and in which some of the officials at first favored walkout October 30. in protest against recent wage cuts These officials finally swung over to a, mo strike now policy, but the question of quitting work will ba taken up again after the Labor Board, renders q decision on the rules and working conditions ques- lions now before it
 Last nights action by the clerks left the signalmen and the tele- graphers the only organizations in the Il standard" rail unions which may join the conductors, firemen engineers, trainmen and switchmer in the strike they have called. The telegraphers tentatively have align. ed themselves with the Big Five but officials of this union said last night that the decision may be changed before the strike date ar yires The siguaImen have not vet voted.
 Sisnalmen Balloting.
 4 strike ballot now is being taken dmong the 14,000 organized signal men, tue ballot being general ir terms and simply asking that the officials be authorized to take what action they deem necosaary to pro tect the interest of their men.

Creating Confidence
 In Public Utilities

IT UDGE w. R. vOORHIS, general oU counsel of the American Waterworks and Electric company, and an official of the Birmingham Waterworks company, is convinced that it pays to take the people into the confidence of a public utility by which they are served.
 Recently the local company began an advertising campaign in Birming- ham newspapers to dispose of $700,- 900 in stock, for the purpose of mak- ing improvements and extensions. The people of this city were told what the waterworks company meant to them and how they could benefit themselves by investing in high-srade securities and at the same time help the company to give better service. As result of that advertising more than $500,000 worth of the stock was sold to local

hours later, Captain Sullivan's ves- sel, although disabled, engaged and sank another U-boat by gunfire.
 To perform the feat accomplished by Captain Sullivan required rapid ity of thought and absolute fearless ness. An ordinary landlubber can hardly realize the destructiveness of depth bomb, but its power is full ly realized in the navy The man who trifles with a device of that sort may truly be said to "flirt with death" The hazards of war and &C., cidents of one kind and another fre- quently exposed naval craft to dan ger from this source.
 Birmingham honors Osmond K. Ingram of Pratt City, for whom a destroyer has been named, because in an emergency somewhat similar to that in which Captain Sullivan distinguished himself, Ingram saved the ship on which he was serving, but lost his life.

From the Louisville Courier Journal. l "A E7R. HERRICK of Oklahoma, lJMl who wants Congress to pas. as. AVA bill providing penalties for playing the role of king or queen 1in any play, pageant or carnival"
 will have the sympathy or many playgoers, not because they agree
 with Mir. Herrick that to appear as & king or queen promotes treason, but because the manner in which his majesty is the villain, as in the case of Richard III in Shakespeare's rousing melodrama under that title, usually is such that it promotes thoughts of assault and battery.
 The stage has found the represen- tation of kingly, and queenly, mien flat failure whom the design has been to inspire the audience with re- spect for, and admiration of, crowned heads. A count, an earl. duke can be played "convincingly," in the par lance of reviewers, especially in comedy of society. A king almost all ways is an overdressed person as much overwhelmed by the elegance and richness of his clothes as a rural member of Congress in his very first dress suit" Even if the dramatist has put fine phrases Into his mouth they come haltingly, rather than trippingly, from tho tongue or the actor who, like Bottom, the weaver l or Shout, the joiner, is keenly aware that he is not king. and feels sure that the audience is declaring him poor counterfeit.
 | As a character in buslesQue crowned head is the actors delight and the delight of the audience. Ex- amples innumerable could be men, tioned. But thoughtful critics have urged dramatists never to present king seriously. and as a "kingiy king.

"The Folly of Fret"

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
 In that doleful. delightful book. "The Education of Henry Adams" occurs phrase, ''The folly of fret" which is better than the usual ex- pression, "The uselessness of worry"
 Many sermons have been preached, many lectures delivered. many medi- cal opinions pronounced. many house. hold homilies uttered. on that theme.
 The trend of applied science in our century is toward the reduction of friction and the elimination of waste.
 And a big part of friction and of waste is worry.
 We worry about the human ma chine. We imagine that all sorts of dreadfull things are about to happen to us. Our thoughts ought to be on our work--and they are diverted by our worries.
 We worry about losing a position in business or our standing in so- ciety. There would be less excuse for anxiety if we would spend the energy consumed In trying to do our work still better. trying to serve more satisfactorily the community we live in, striving to discharge the various and delicate offices of friend ship with increased tact and percep- tion and sympathetic selflessness.
 Worry Is quite another matter from . proper carefuiness, that weighs ( proposition and looks all round 1t. object ere acceptance.
 4 man who investigates before he buys, who considers alternatives and who asks questions before deciding who makes no leap In the dark. 1! not open to the reproach of one whose "folly of fret" merely leads him In frantic circles. like q tethered don key. All his fuss and clamor Issue in nothing but an ,ectasy of motiol and emotion.
 Man power Is too precious to bs thrown away in these gyrations that are the pantomime of futility.

 They seem to have time. They ds not operate in fiutter and 8 feve resembling the hen-yard or the stock pen. They make up their minds ant preserve their eQuanimity. Seeinl them so cool and so controlled. those who do everything in a panic or q paroxysm try their best to excit them by telling them the house | burning down or the world is com ing to an end.
 But these quiet and capable one is not for man to say when his owr life or. his own work shall end. II trust and peace they continue on thsi wAy-lsvoiding the folly of fret" tha victimises and weakens othar man.

When Lincoln Was Born
 In a Kentucky Cabin

TN Cores "The Boyhood of Abra- ll ham Lincoln" (Bobbs- Merrill company is given new account of the birth of a man who was destined to play an important part in Ameri- can history. It also immortalizes Isom Enlow, a pioneer, who is given the credit of saving the life of Lin coln and his mother.
 MT. Cores information was given him by Austin Gollaher, boyhood chum of Lincoln. According to his account, the head of the family was away from home in the Knob Creek hills of LaRue county when Lincoln was born. He had been marooned by . blizzard in Elizabethtown. It is related that the mother, her small daughter, Sarah Lincoln, and the baby were about to succumb to cold and hunger when Enlow, who had lost his way, came to the door of the Lincoln cabin. Hungry and half frozen, he hurriedly built a fire.
 Enlow made poor kind of soup out of some wild turkey grease used b for cleaning gun barrels. The moth CT, the daughter and even the new born babe were fed this connection. As MT. Gollaher tells the story, which he heard years afterward from Enlow, "The little girl, Sarah Lincoln, slipped the hot, greasy water and insisted in her childish way that her mother drink more of the bit ter stuff. When Isom Enlow took the cup from the hand of the little girl and said to Mrs. Lincoln, Drink, she obeyed mechanically and with cut thought of herself. Her heart and hope were in the baby. Almost too weak to turn her throbbing head, she watched for signs of life in the infant, and when she saw its pur- pie lips tighten upon the grease soaked string, happy tears came into her eyes and she said, The child will live.'"
 When the storm abated, neigh bors brought succor and the hardi- ness of the backwoods people "soon asserted itself" The hardships of Lincoln's birth foreshadowed the struggles and sorrows of his later life. Fate, Providence or what you will, watched over that humble cabin and preserved the infant Lincoln to serve his country well and die mar tyr's death.

From the Providence Journal. 7 N programme of war maneuvers
 for the United States marines, S this week, on the old Virginia battlegrounds, Charlottesville is be- ing fought once more. Few battles in all history are so interesting for the student of military science as Chancellorsville. It is cited in text books the world ovcer, and the field has been frequently examined by European experts.
 This battle was to have brought the Civil war to an end But the refined strategy of Lee and Jackson, more than compensating for the Confederate army's one-to-two dis parity in strength, defeated the in- tention. The splendid army of the Potomac was obliged to withdraw from a field of it's own choosing, and in effect the struggle to crush rebellion had to be begun all over again.
 
 at Charlottesville was the flank at- tack. A failure on one side, it was an incompatible triumph for the other. The march of Stonewal1 Jack son, at the head of a single corps. across the whole front of Rockers grand army, to deliver smart blow at it's right flank, was 8 feat of generalship well-nigh unique in the annals of war. The sun was sink ing and there was forest protection. but had Rockers intelligence serv- ice been efficient the audacious movement would have been discov- ered--with Jackson gone away, Lee should have been crushed.
 Dan Sick1es, his corps posted near the center, glimpsing Jackson's bayo- nets, sent word to headquarters in the Charlottesville mansion that the Confederate army was beginning
