TUESDAY EVENING. SEPT. 17, 1907. Alr. president of the South? ern Rsilway Company, waa one ol the priocipal spaakera at the meeting in Ohksffl Saturday of the American At sociation of Freight Traffic Officera.

He look the ground tbat the present ag itatlofl legislation against railroads is ecrtain to prevent much needed im pmvement and enlargsment of railway aervice, becauBS of the come juent nec timidity of capitaliata, and urged that railroad officials keep ln touch with tho public through the medium ofthe newspapers and preaent their aide ol tbe controversy in a frank and Btraightfor ward manner. He said, in part: No one knows better than does the Iraffic orlicer tbe insistence with whicb ahipperi are demanding improved aer such as can be provided only by in crrases in trackage, by the purchase of addilional cars aad locomotives, and by iaereaaiaf ar.d improving facilities in etery dirtction. Forthese needed im provtnients new capital is rtquired, but rneii and wniiiin with money to invest heaitftte, at the morneot, to put it into railway property. The man with money ioveet no sentimental favorites. lic is not miuled by sentiment, but by plaia baaiaeas uftniderations.

He may know tbat preaent aud prospeciives traffic are suflicient to make raiiway in iBaatta pn fnable ifcharges that are f.iK aad naxonable for the services per formed are But when he ihe cnactroent of Ibwb for the re i iti ofebargee, without due regard f.r reasonablrnei-, and laws suhjecting ruilways to and inrquitable ixation in cotnparison with other forms i property, it ia nulural that he would sitate or look elsewhere for oppor tuiiitiea for investment. In our country public opinion and legisla tive action are iufluenced very largely the uewspapers. In a recent ad before the National and Virginia h.itorial Aseociations at the James i F.xposition I pointed out that thia reason it is of special importance that the uewspapers ahould have correct iafornatioa aa lo railway policieB. Thev bi ar a great tlcal from the anti-railway but little from the railways. We oi ln lo bc Irnnk in all our deal Inta with the so as to leave ori ooeaaioa lor adverse criticitm or o.ment based upon lsck of information railway mattcrs in which the public can have a proper intereat.

If tlie railwajs are to have the cordial sup port of tbe publir, they must merit it. i i cy BDat sce to it that their service is tbe moat fificient that their resources them to provide and that their chargea are neither unreasonably high noi nlatively uujustor discrimiuatory. We know that thesearepolicies tbat the dwaya oltheUalted Ktates areendeav oring tO isrry out, but thftgreat raajority of the Amwican people do not know it, and th'y eaoaot know it unlet-s we, who corna ineootad with the public, embrace proper npportunity to make it clear Ihat the railways realize lully their duties to the people and are striving to jverlorm them. That Maxim Gorky, the Russian xnviLst, and Mmc. Andrieva, the woman who accompauied him on his trip to America, are now marritd, is the newa brjiiftHt from Europe yesterday by Hanl 1 MacOrath, tbe author, who ar rived New York on the steamer Fin land.

(icorgetown, Sep. Toduy's TelegraphieNews. Pope's Denunciatlon of Modernism. Paria, Sept. denun ciation of modernism marks an epoch in Ihe Catholic churca's history, in the opinion of tbe Romau clergy throughout Europe.

The policy it representa is accepted aa of greater importance tban the OOdfM mapped out for the church along the lines definitely dealt with iti yeattrday'e encyclical. From Pope Lee'a policy of half meaaurea tbe preaent pontill baa broken away furever. Eztending toward the whole world his attitude io Ibe warfare between tbe church and the French gov ernment, his followers point out, Pius stands for battle to tbe last ditch ratber than a compromise, which in his opinion endangera the integrity ot the churcb'a dogmaa. In the enclycical high churchman see the initial atep in a series which will definitely align the papacy aa advocated by Pim against auy movemenl calculated to weaken its power or iofluence in tho alightest degree or to open tbe door for c'langea calculated ultimately lo und'r mine the foundation of theRoman faith. "No papal encyclical of modern times has compartd the hst one in im? portance," said a high eocleeiasllcofthe Paris archbishopric today.

Should the Pope's lateat encyclical precipitate an actual break between followers of tbe old failb and disciples of modernism, English Catholics will welcome it joylully, Brit iah adhereuts of the Rnnan Catholic Church declaro. "It is better to cast our enemies out than to permil them to work among us aecretly," said a high English commeoting today ttpon the Pope's de tiuacialion of extreme liberalism.

"So if the encyclical causea a scliinn it will le 'or the best." "immediate excommunication will probably follow for those who, inclined to modernism, try to liide their boiiefs from their religious teachers." Oanon Moyes, the beat knowu Catholic tbeo lvgian in England, proncuncta tbe en? cyclical wise and timelr, and is surs it will be received by British Catholics loyally and with implicit obedieoce.
