When the railroads are compelled to pay adequate
sum for every passenger they kill or injure, there
will be very few wrecks in America.

SINCE the time that electricity was substituted
for steam power on the elevated railroads of New
York, the management and the public have frequent
y been subjected to considerable trouble and annoy
ance The third rail- heavily charged with electricity
is constant source of danger to employees and as it
is exposed to the elements under certain conditions
it fails to fulfill it's function. In cold weather ice
sometimes covers the rail- practically insulating it,
causing traffic to be suspended for hours at time
The company has offered prize Of 100000 to the
person inventing successful device for the protec
ton of the third rail- which prize it is sad will prob
ably be won by beggar, Alexander Mckenzie by
name. This man has made practice OF begging on
the station platforms of the elevated road Evidently
his mind has not been idle while he waited for the
coppers to fall into his hand. His invention seems sc
practical that the charity society has taken it ano
will secure patent for him. After all the electrical
experts of New York have given up trying to solve
the elevated road problem it will be strange turn Of
the wheel of fortune if Mckenzie does master it ano
win the prize.

The Jewish population of the

there are now nearly two million
Jews in this country. Let them

Yes, the Lord is on their side.

How many years before parcels,

toward making ourselves and the
world happier, healthier, stronger
etc.
A little study along these lines
and the thoughts they lead to will
convince us that there is a great:
deal in silent influence and that
there is a silent controlling force in
many man that is easier to recog-
nize than it is to define. The men
who possess this force attract
others to themselves and to their
interest, and they influence opin-
ion more easily by their mere
preference than the majority could
do by argument. They control
minds and create friendships of un-
swerving loyalty, and all this thew
accomplish in a quiet and seeming
ly unconscious way, even with in
ferior personal attractions and
mental gifts.
With regard to writing, the
Odds and Ends man has entertained
no uneasiness as to the feeling of
those persons who may dislike the
thoughts that appear in these
columns from time to time. Neither
has he made any attempt to con-
fine himself to conventional
language. There have even been
times when nouns, pronouns, gen.
ders, adjectives, adverbs and other
things fought for supremacy and
became tangled all in heap. It
has now been two years since the,

augurated and it was not my original
intention tocontinue this work long
er than few weeks or months, but
later l decided to make it a year.
1t has long been my avowed in
tention to discontinue these inflic-,
tons upon the readers with the
completion of the two years, which,
expire with this issue, but nov
again this decision has suffered a.
reversal and the writer will continue
the work for still another few weeks.
1t is very easy matter for some
people to criticise, and as a rule
those who never accomplish much
in any line can tell their listeners
what every other man should do to-
make greater success of his bust
ness. There are lots of smart men
and writer's and some of them are
here within these walls, and there
is ample opportunity for them to
show us through the columns Of
The MIRROR just how to write, what
to say and how to say it. A few Of
them have come into the "fold"
from time to time, but they never
succeeded in causing The MIRROR
to outgrow it's clothes or extend it's
circulation beyond the confines of
the earth.
! And right here let me answer a
recent question as to whether this
paper "goes out of the state of
: Minnesota" As stated in these
columns year or so ago, The
MIRROR reaches all parts of the
} United States and goes to England,
Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Germany,
Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Porto

THERE is more or less talk these days about
aboshing the right to appeal criminal cases. Perhaps
in of time this concession to mob law will be
granted The public at large would profit more how
ever if the right to appeal personal injury
curtaied or abolished The railroads disregard hu-
man life because it is cheap If they had to pay
substantial damages every time person is killed OF
injured there would be fewer accidents. And if dam
age suits left to uries to decide if the railroads
could tappealfrom court to another indefinitely
killing and manning would not be cheap Every rail
road has corps of saared attorneys whose duty it is
to fight personal injury Thus when suit is
brought against the company by victim of its
cupidity and carelessness the appealed anc
appealed again until both the patience and purse
the plaintiff are exhausted. This procedure il
ironically called justice.

RUSSIA is bidding for the sympathy and support
of the world and at the time is showing to the
world what bully and coward she is, and what the
weaker nations may expect if she gains the posi-
ton she covets. Within the last three years 5000
political prisoners have been deported from Euro
pean Russia to Eastern Siberia there to be quartered
in huts with unciviized natives, who permitted
to do they please with the exiles These people, all
of whom have been driven from home without trial,
tor the most part young men and women under
twenty years of age and boys and girls mere chill
dren Their offense consisted Of reading books and
pamphlets that do not meet with the approval Of
Minister Won Plehve. How can nation that treats
it's subjects in such outrageous manner ex-
pect to win the support and confidence OF other and
weaker nations? The Russians have many Unequal
tiles, but until they reform the internal policy Of
their country they will be trusted, tho they
may be admired, by foreigners.

himself with big loaded revolver and travelled about

The Growth of the United States.

The Wall Street Journal presents in tabulated form graphic statement of the growth of the United States since the year 1896. It is only when the figures are analysed, however. that one conlprehends the magnitude Of this growth.
 From 1896 to 1903 the population of the country increased IA per cent (estimated). The wealth increased 30 per cent. During the seven years of republican prosperity following the de- feat of the democracy in 1896, the money in circulation increased 57 per cent-a result directly contrary to al! the democratic prophecies. The pro- duction of gold increased 40 per cent. Foreign commerce increased 37 per cent. The production of pig iron fn- creased 106 per cent. The production of wheat increased zs per cent. The increase in cotton production was the same. Railway freight traffic in creased 76 per cent Railway pass

enee7 traffic increased 2S per cent. The value of manufacturing products iIl~ creased A per cent.
 The business of the postoflce de- partmont. always certain index of the general condition of the country increased 63 per cent. Immigration in- creased 149 per cent, Saving bank de- poSits, another excellent barometer 1 increased 5S per cent. The banking
 business generally witnessed similar expansion. The bank clearings IT
 New York increased 142 per cent: outside of New York. 91 per cent. The individual deposits in national banks increased 90 per cent. State bank de- posits increased 161 per cent. Tn" national hank reserve increased IS per cent. Trust company deposits in creased IT per cent. Private bank deposits increased 125 per cent. The loans of all banks. except savings. in creased 1o5 per cent. The cash Of all banks, except savings increased 73 per cent.
 Indeed. the growth of the cou=try has been more rapid than the faci,i- ties for transacting business. The rail- roads and other corporations have been obliged to improve theii. facili- ties to accommodate themselves to this expansion of business, and, at the same time. to make preparations for that further increase which must in- evitably be in store for this country provided the country does rot de- eide at this falls election to take the back trGck."

become a primary school teacher. This gave her a handle for her boundless sympathy and activity. That her pu- pills should have food and clothes seemed more important to her than learning. She had great power Of speech. And from that day on she never ceased to wrest bread, clothes, money and medicines from those who had them-pever mind who-to hand them over to those who needed them no matter who.
 This begging and giving has been her real life work and to her seemed more important than her political acts, such, as getting herself condemn ed to life transportation after the Commune and getting sent to Clairvaux penitentiary, for leading the bread riots of 1SS3-mere episodes. And begging francs and sous at a time instead of large sums like a swell phil anthrcpist, she has nevertheless, in the long run, distributed more millions than the greatest of them.
 When 1t came t. testifying herself for others she could be even more chivalrous than Rochefort. One Lucas an exalted" nondescript of the an archist-assassin type, had fired on her while she was going through the streets of Havre to deliver a lecture He hit her, and came near killing her Well, her one great preoccupatioa right away was to get Lucas acquit- ted. She began with the reporters as soon as her head was tied up.
 You understand, my dears." she said to the newspaper men. "he has 9 wife and children, that man Lucas, What will the judges do with him if you fall on him? And what will the mother and kids do if the judges send him to jail?''
 She ran from newspaper offices t, the committing magistrate. from tle committing magistrate to the prefect- ure of police.
 "Enfin quoi!" she argued feverishly. Its me he wanted to kill. rot VOL. It's my affair. IL concerns me and me only. Especially since he only wanted me and I've got nothing against him. Why should you folks mix up in it?''
 Her testimony before the jury was a speech to acCuit her wouId-be assas- sin. In the memory of the law it was without precedent. And she won her cause. The judges, completely upset by the harangues of this strange vic tim, condemned Lucas to a few months Imprisonment in lunatic asylum. whence he was shortly released at the repeated demands of Louise Michel.
 Fer twenty years past Henri Roche fort has paid Louise Michel a com fortable yearly pension, enough to keep modest person like herself in ease. Yet Louise Michel has never been known to live in decent comfort. buy herself decent meal. or wall. with decent clothes on her back.
