Hamline's Good Fortune.

TIL e GU m a heartily congratulates
President George HI. Bridgman, Of Ham
line University, upon the completion Of
the new endowment fund Of $3.50, 900,
which has just been added to- the pre-
vious endowment of that prosperous in
stitution.
There Is great occasion for rejoicing
among all the friends of Hamline, its trus-
tees, its faculty, it's alumni and the peo-
pie of the state generally, for Hamline
University has become an important CEN
ter of influence for good, and is recognized
as a powerful factor in the educational
and moral upbuilding Of the state. This
institution affords one Of the best illustra-
lions of the important work which the
so-called small college" is able to do.
The small college is fireplace for the ex-
ercise in its fullest and most effective
way Of those forces Of personal influence
individuality. The great universities and
colleges of the land, with their extensive
equipment and the large facilities which
they afford for original research and ex~
haustive scientific study, render a service
to the cause of education, which may not
be underestimated, but for all their
growth and power they have not sup.
planted the small college nor rendered it
unnecessary in the scheme of public edu-
cation. '.~- '....
And while speaking of the small college
it may be necessary to guard against any
misapprehension as to the present and
prospective proportions of Hamline Uni
versity. This institution has several
hundreds enrolled as students in its var
ious departments, Is growing in favor
and includes in it's student body fifty moro
persons than were in attendance last
year. In short, 1t is enjoying a degree Of
prosperity and growth immensely graft
flying to it's friends and patrons. This
added endowment of s25o,000 will impart
new enthusiasm and new energy to trus-
tees and faculty and all connected with
its management. ..,
A significant fact in. this connection is
that this large sum of money was raised
almost entirely within the state Of Min
nesota. It happens that the Methodist
church, under whose auspices this insti-
tuition is conducted, is engaged in raising
large sum, twentieth century fund for
the benefit of it's educational and evangel-
istic work and for other purposes, so that
other states had obligations of this kind
to meet at the same time, making it i'm
practicable to secure any considerable
amount of money for this fund outside OF
this state. The fact that it has been
raised within Minnesota is a significant
indication Of the confidence which the peo-
pie of this state, thoroughly acquainte
with the character Of it's management
have in the institution as now conducted
1t is noteworthy, too, that the hopes
of it's faithful and devoted president are
so handsomely realized in the twentieth
year of his service at the head Of the
university. 1t finishes off well rounded
period Of labor and sacrifice on his part
in manner which cannot fail to gladden.

MY LIFE IN MANY STATES AND IN FOR
EIGN LANDS. Dictated i'll my Seventy-fourth
Year. BY George Francis Train. Illustrated.
New York: D. Appleton & Co. Price SIPS.
There was a time when George Francis
Train was known all over the civilized
if not the habitable globe. That he main
tains some of his old virility is evident
from the fact that he dictated this story
of his activities in thirty-five hours. The
portrait of Train in this book shows some
diminution of the former vigor and Chess
terfeldian suavity and polish. In this
volume he tells in his own vivacious way,
f1ecked with audacious hun1or, the story
of his life and achievements. Citizen
Train has all through his life been an
individual of great expectations. Self as
sertive as child, he continued to assert
himself and his eccentricities all through
life. He pays a fine tribute to his
Methodist training on his grandmother's
farm near Boston, which, he affirms, pre-
vented him from committing a single
crime, during his life. "Children," he
says, "are born savages and cheats. It is
only training that makes true and honest
men and women. of them" Train worked
hard in a Boston grocery and then entered
the service of a shipping firm and began
his real business career, his first achieve
ment being the organization of a clipper
ship line which operated between

Train tells how he organized the famous
Credit Mobilier and the Union Pacific rail-
way and boasts that he was a conspicuous

hobnobbing with royalty. He has been
a persistent globe trotter." He has had
money and lots of it, in his day, but he
hadn't the faculty Of keeping 1t. In Aus

Suggested by Mr.. Walker.

An interview with M. Il. Is. walker,
which appeared in T h e J gu n yes
terday, presents two interesting topics
for consideration. :. sE
J y, Mr.. Walker is opposed to the repeal OF
the stone and timber act, which IS favored
by the department Of the interior, and is
being pushed in congress by Senator
Quarles Of Wisconsin. He says that it is
at present the only means by which a
poor man can get possession Of govern
ment forest land.
There is food for reflection In this state
| ment. At the present except as the fed
eral government dlsposes of some timber
by stumpage sales, the only way that pos
session can be obtained Of timber lands,
having in view the timber rather than the
land, is by means of the stone and timber
act Stumpage sales cut the poor man
out altogether.
But the trouble is that the law is SO
prostituted at present that it is merely
means of affording powerful corpora
lions and wealthy men chance to raid
the public forests. It is notorious that
the man who actually files a stone and
timber claim is very often direct or in
direct agent and gets nothing out Of it
for himself, except a small fee, from the
concern employing him. While we do not
like to see the poor man deprived of his
present access to the forests. we think
there is wiser way Of administering the
forests. If the stone and timber act were
repealed there would be something substi-
tuted for it, something that would provide
for the disposal Of timber under. conditions
looking to the perpetuation of the forest,
wherever the conditions are not suitable
for agriculture, the government retaining
the land. ~
1t. is very interesting to learn that Mr..
Walker is himself going to introduce
scientific numbering on the immense tract
!, Of timber land he has secured in California.
His undertaking will be the third notable
project Of the kind by private owners that
we have heard Of. The destruction of the
forests in this country is already reaching
the point where those who are favorably
situated are beginning to. lumber on plans

it considers a corn any relief" from any

DOLE GIVES
LAW OPINION
Attorney General Makes
Definition of
Terms.

Attorney General Dole yesterday sub
nnitted an opinion to the Governor on
an inquiry addressed to him on What
is the difference between an officer or
official and an employe of the govern
ment?"
one of the difficulties in answering
your question arises from the fact that
THE meaning of the words office and
officer necessarily varies with their use
in different statutes, and to determine
correctly in a particular instance re-
gard must be had to the intention or
the act and the subject matter in re-
spect TO which the terms are used.
Ryan VS. Mayer, so How. Pr, 81. Ger
tain persons, for example, the Cover
nor, the heads of departments, the
members of the judiciary, are clearly
officials; certain other persons in the
employ of the Government, for exam
PIE a lawyer retained to assist in the
trial of a cause, or an architect en-
gagged to design public building. their
duties and emoluments being tempo
rary. special, occasional defined BIZ
contract and not by law, are as clearly
not officials. Between these two classes
in regard to which there can be no mis-
take and no difference of opinion, is a
considerable class of persons who may
be public officials within the letter and
spirit of one statute, and not of an
other-public officials for certain pur-
poses, and simply employees for other
purposes; and whether or not any one
of this class is to be regarded as an
official. or simply an employe, may de-
pend upon the facts and circumstances
applying to his particular case. 1t is
easy to say that it is day time at noon,
and night time at midnight; but it is
impossible to fix the precise moment
when day ends and night begins. 1t is
almost equally difficult to fix the boun
Diary line which distinguishes a public
official from mere Government en-
ploye There appears to be no one test
which can be taken in all cases as de-
cisive.
After quoting innumerable authori-
ties, Mr. Dole concludes: =
II think the authorities hereinbefore
quoted and referred to clearly sustain
this proposition: If a person in the en-
ployment of the Government is paid
salary or other compensation fixed by
the Legislature, and if he is also in
vested-by law, not by contract-with
portion of the sovereign powers, du
ties and responsibilities of govern
ment he is a public officer, even
though he holds no commission, takes
no oath of office, and has no tenure of
office except the will of the appointing
power. l do not feel warranted in ex
pressing an opinion that no one Is
public officer unless he fully conforms
to this test; or that. in the nature of
things, there is or can be any one test
conclusive in all cases. I think, how
ever. that the foregoing win be found
to be the turning point in most cases.

was for summary possession of the

Judge. When the plaintiff went on the

that he had given a lease to Ahoo. UNI

didn't know him in the matter al
