 THE United States is the richest nation in the world, or that has ever existed, exceeding the wealth of Great Britain by about S23,- 100000, says the Texas Farm and Ranch. The United States pos- sesses nearly one fourth of the material wealth of the world and is increasing more rapidly than any nation ever did. That wealth breeds corruption is emphatically true, as regards either individ- uals or nations. Herein is our danger. It takes an unusual amout of public virtue to resist the temptation to plunder our neighbor when we know we can not be punished for it.

A CALIFORNIA judge has decid- ed that failure to support wife is not good ground for divorce. In the decision he used the fol- lowing strong language: 'I be- ieve that women should bear some of the responsibility of the support of the family upon their own shoulders. We ought all of us to work and do something to keep the world going. The mere fact that this woman and her daughter have had to help sup port the family is not in itself sufficient ground for divorce.''

BERLIN Nov. 19.-Emperor William at
tended the second session Of the Shipbuild-
ing Society to-day. Prof. Hall read a
paper ON development in shipbuilding in
Germany and other countries. He eaid
Germany now had twenty-five private
, dock yards employing 1900 men. with an
output Of 225, 900 tons.
The English yards were now building
for foreigners only, including Germans.
more than Germany's total output. When
Germans ceased placing orders in Great
Britain, Prof. Hail said, German shipbuld-
ing would be doubled and made much
cheaper. Now that American competition
had been added Il behooved Germans TO
Use their utmost efforts against their rivals
Councillor Schwarz. adviser to the I'm
perial Naval Construction Department,
who recently returned from the United
States. described the extraordinary pros
perity Of the shipbuilding industry there.
He said its remarkable development in
the past ten years was owing to the tre-
mendous exertions Of the American en-
gineers, numerous improvements in ma
chinery and high standard Of production.
He predicted that America would soon
compete successfully with the British and
Germans in the worlds market as a private
shipbuilder.
Herr Meyer, commenting on Councillor
Schwartz's speech advocated the idea of
perfecting existing German yards instead
of multiplying the number and devoting
part Of the profits to attracting 10 Germany
the most trained and skilled craftsmen
in shipbuilding. Germany then, he said,
could regard foreign composition, including
the American bogey. with perfect indirer-
ence. being sure Of victory.
Emperor William followed the speakers
with the closest attention and frequently
applauded them. especially Herr Meyer.

Office early this morning while engaged
In drilling into the safe. He had gained
entrance to vhe Office through the floor.
and had evidently spent several nights
in the work Of excavating. drilling and con-
structing a platform and trap door, The
noise OF the auger frst attr acted the atten-
ton OF the ticket agent. who thought it
was made by rats, but further investigation
convinced him that burglar was at work.
For three nights this work had been going
on.
Last night the Chief Of Police was notified
and two officers were detailed for special
duty at the ticket Office. Concealing them
selves In the room after the business OF the
night was over they waited patiently for
several hours. Then the trap door lifted +,
a light flashed up and a head appeared
above the floor. The burglar entered and
began drilling into the safe. A noise In the
room caused him to quit work and drop
through the trap door. AS he did so a de-
tective fired twice, wounding the burglar
in the arm and head. The last shot proved
fatal.
From papers on his psrson II was a. csr-
tained that his name was ID. T. Rush

subjects treated in the paper are discussed
In great detail. Principles and policies
are enunciated clearly. but there is a notable
absence OF specific recommendations for
radical legislation on any subject.
