Under tho above heading The Rich
mond News-Leader ha thl trlklng
editorial:
"President Flnley, of th Southern
Railway Company, continue to talk to
the public, to tak It Into hi conndene
nd to discus frankly and fairly the re
lation between the peords and the rail
road, showing where -each aid ha it
rights and each has been gumy ox
wrong resulting In mutual danger.
"President Flnloy I a refreanlng con
trast to the kind of railroad . men to
which th publlo throughout th country
ha become accustomed. The could
look on but on side, could not real 1 1
that the publlo had any right to b re
spected, any Interest In the matter of
railroad management or conduct or any
thing lo do with It" They resented any
suggestion of legislation or executive
supervision or Inquiry as impudent In
trusion and Insolent interference with
private and sacred prerogative. All of
us can remember th time when a sim
ple question regarding a serious accident
on a railroad brought stern and sullen
lebuff and rebuke Irom subordinates and
the froscn face, and haughty denuncia
tion from those higher up. Most of us
have seen legislative and other Inquiries
and Investigations confronted by smooth
end smiling Individuals whose .business
and purpose was to mislead and baffle
inquiry, to deceive and befog. Their at
titude usually was one ol good nuturcd
contempt. Their assumption was that
everybody outside the sacred circles of
railroad employment who touched the
business was looking for a bribe or was
an Ignorant and malicious demagogue
or a 'blundering fool, hardly worthy of
serious consideration. We have seen that
kind of thing lime after time and the
people have run against It with their
wrath steadily rising and their determi
nation to break over all tho terriers and
through all the Jungles and tangles
steadily hardening.
"Now the railroad people ore taking a
new turn and we hope they are doing it
In tlmn. They are inviting good will and
confidence and trying very hard lo de
serve both and we hope most sincerely
they will succeed. President Kinley Is
taking tho lead In this good work and
thereby proving his sagacity, his fore
said, his grasp of the situation In a
troubled and dangerous tlnn: and his flt
i.ess iu hud a grnt system through the
present perils. If his policy and method
i ir.lli.wed sincerely and faithfully much
of the evil of the past will ! undone
and much good will come. Tho people
ri. so n giicriistomcd to deceit and to
being fooled with and hoodwinked that
, hnT(i t0 muite them bcllev- unit
.. - ..ir ill l. twllh fnlrTV
irny ii-nov win i- u.n.i ...... ...
V. hen once convinced oi mat. nowcvci,
they will respond with alacrity."
There are a good many reasons that
lead to the belief that President Fin
It y Is quite the biggest railroud man
w ho ha-s appeared In the South recent
ly, lie sees and readily concedes the
fact that to the railroad discussion
there are two 6ldes. The railroads own
valuable franchises and while exer
cising. In a sense, the right of emi
nent domain, are accountable to the
,ul,iic (lr their conduct In considers-
r the privileges which they enjoy
at )ts ),anrt)i and are subjec t to thj
1 public regulation. On the other hand,
while tlio public's servants, yet own-
ed by Individuals, they arc entitled to
a living chance entitled to legisla
tion which, while properly regulative,
should not be destructive.
President Wnvy is preaching this
sort of doctrine and presenting this
argument fairly as between both
shies. If he continues his frankness of
statement, taking the public Into hl
confidence, as The News-Leader puts
It, tho result will be beneficial to both
of the present contlictlng Interests
redounding to the uettir leenng on
tho part of tho people toward the
railroads and (htfa to the Iriebtlniable
advantage of the roads. Let us all
hope that Mr. Finley will continue the
good work In which lie is engaged,
which Is that of bringing about a bet
ter understanding.

The v Idely Uoted .iiinion of l'ro

"tell briefly tho story of (a) Adam

happened Is told by Dr. Smith as fol
lows:

liaued nothing In saying thai the
Ullile Is the only monumont of litera
ture, ancient or modern, on which the
sums number ( students would hav
exhibited so lain a fund ol general
knowledge."
Thl Is s very gratifying showing.
Dr. Sinllb proceed to assign ths cred
it nd point out how ciualntanc
with the Scripture may be made yet
more thorough and Intelligent:
"It I to the Hunday schools. I beliavs,
more than to any other single Agency!
that this rsult Is chiefly du; for ih
(Nnday school he tit the tVnithern
ttaiw t resa aa4 tafliMM waiea yo
tensor Plmlps l. .tvrs entirely out of ac
count. "My own observation lends me to the
belief that the current of Ignorance of
th Jllblo among college students Is not
an Ignorance of 'supposedly familiar
stories of the Old Testament' or of th
New Testament; nor I It an Ignorance
primarily of Bible doctrine or of Bible
sanctions. It 1 an Ignorance (1) of Bible
history us a continuous whole, (2) of
Bible geography, (3) of the distinctive
types
books
:s or Bible literature, ana to oi in
book of the Bible unit. Th Sun-
day school of the future will devote - not
less attention to the former things out
more attention to the latter things."
Dr. Smith thus show that th San
day school la doing a treat work
among us and ha the opportunity, to
do an even greater. Not onTy la It
a ministry of . religion which ., the
churches could not discontinue with
out being badly crippled but .j- it
teaches thing of which no liberal
man can afford' to be ignorant. It ie'an
educational institution in a rery broad
sense. The Bible is the noblest monu
ment of literature more' the pity
that the bibliolater habit of regard
ing it as all on a level should blind
him to tts counties beauties and the
King James version has largely been
the making of the English language.
Millions use biblical phrase unkndw
Ingly every day of their lives. The
man to whom the Bible is not measur
ably familiar, who does not under
stand an allusion to its more striking
incidents, is not an Intelligent man,
he is a barbarian as well aa a heath
en. By teaching tho youth this fuller
appreciation of tho Bible, as they are
already beginning to teach, the Sun
day schools of to-morrow will do an
even greater work than tho Sunday
schools of to-day. We are only sorry
that thJlr good Influences are compar
atively weak In the North and suggest
that the kindness of folks up that way
In sending missionaries, educational
and othewl.se down this way be
reclprocited. The Obfervcr will be
glud to receive subscriptions for Sun
day school work among the Northern
whites.
