Members of Eleven Classes Participate
In Monthly Reunion at the
Merchants Club

Merchants Club.
The Stanford Club of San Francisco
entertained a representative table of
grads at it's regular monthly lunch
con Saturday afternoon at the Mer-
chants Club. The regular monthly
luncheon has been made the occasion
of general reunion on the part of STAN
ford men located in the city and others
from abroad who may chance to be in
the vicinity and desire to renew old
friendships.
Men from the pioneer class of '95
to the coming class of '05 were in evil
dence and the occasion passed with
keen enjoyment for men who have
been up against the dollar since
leaving college. The luncheon is an
established function for the first Sat-
urday in every month and all Stanford
men are invited to attend. The ulti-
mate object Of the meetings is to bring
a sufficient number of men who can be
depended on together for the purpose
of establishing permanent headquar-

The President at Denver.

Senator Patterson acquitted himself ex-
cellently last night. Undoubtedly the peo-
pie of Denver were glad to see the Presi-
dent, and wanted him to know 1t. This
feeling Mr.. Patterson happily expressed,
and then as happily touched upon the gen.
eral questions of the day. The speech was
gracefully as we'll forcibly keyed, and
doubtless the guest of the evening appre-
ciated 1t TO the full.
1t Is well to note the reference to the
third-term proposition. Mr.. Patterson ac-
curately interpreted the country's apprecia-
ton of Mr.. Roosevelt's deliverance as to
that. The time well as the character of
the deliverance impressed the country pro-
foundry. In improving the first hour of an
unprecedented triumph to record himself on
a subject certain to occupy attention MIR.
Roosevelt showed the best judgment and in
the position he took he appealed to very
general admiration. His decision appro-
priately capped the climax of that Wednes-
day mornings remarkable news story.
The subject has not been revived by any
word or act of the President or of any of
his advisers or supporters. He stands SO
far as the country is advised, where he
then stood But here and there has been
thrown out a suggestion from sources hith-
a state so chaotic by 1903 that a regular
partisan contest that year may be inadvis-
able. and that men of both parties may de-
eide to override the Presidents personal
wishes and re-elect him.
This may have been a mere feeler-a
maneuver for developing opinion. If that
was the intention of the authors 1t has
served their purposes. though some of the
opinions expressed cannot have been agree
able to them. The straightout Bryanites
have been heartened by it. and are more
camorous than ever for another nominal
ton for their hero. They are eager to join
a third nomination against a third term.
and seem to feel that in that If in nothing
else, their man might have chance to
win.
81. The advocates of a third term for Mr..
Roosevelt base their proposition on the
assertion that, radical as they agree that
he is, he is not as radical as the Bryan
wing of the democrat. and so will have
to be taken to defeat that. IS, of course.
would reduce things to the one-man
power and necessity. and we have not
reached that condition yet. Mr.. Patterson
stated the case very clearly and cleverly.

Memory.

Forgetfulness is a common fault. Indeed.
so common is it that some men forget that
they have memories They never use them.
There are so few real memories at work
nowadays that there would seem to be good
grounds for believing that we are nation
OF people with communicating ears, so that
sounds pass through from one to the other
and so escape. The husband who forgets
TO buy the baby's Shoes or to order the din
her, or to pay the gas bill, or to mail a
letter to his mother-in-law is the common
. type of humanity. And the women have
good forgetteries, too. They occasionally
fail to connect with the dinner hour be-
cause they are too busy talking over the
styles with neighbors And they have been
known to be so careless as to leave their
infants on other peoples doorsteps out of
sheer forgetfulness.
But the men bear off the palm for falling
TO remember. Here are two recent in
stances. A Philadelphia postman, when ar-
rested for trIfling with the mails, protested
his innocence. He was searched and GER
tain missing letters, of which complaint had
been filed, were found in an inside pocket,
unlniured and unopened. their contents in
tact. Some were overdue a month He
was amazed at their presence there and
could give no explanation.
\ Minnesota farmer found stick of dyn-
amlte in the road and carried il home to
thaw it out for blasting some rocks, putting
1t in a can of water in the kitchen stove.
He was called away from the house and
when he returned there was no house In
cidentaly his wife and children had also
disappeared
1t pays TO retain the memory. II is a handy
asset in business and private life The man
who remembers well is just a few points
ahead In the race of the man who needs
reminders. The string-bound finger is a
false reliance. Better memory that
works by natural methods The more a
man depends upon an alarm clock the more
likely he is to ignore it when it disturbs his
morning dreams. The reminding shock be-
comes matter of course and therefore neg
Iigible with the man who has carefully Gull
tivated strong sense of forgetfulness.

City and Suburban Transfers

The street car lines in this District not
owred by the Capital Traction Company
are owned or controlled by the syndicate
which is in it's main corporate form
known as the Washington Railway and
Electric Company. Certain of the lines.
the city trunks. are held directly by that
corporation. Certain others. the feeders.
are held indirectly through duplication
of officials. but preserving distinct cor
porate identities. One of these indirectly
held branches of the general system is
the City and Suburban property, compris
ing three divisions. There are two rea-
sons why this corporation although
owned to a majority of it's stock by
the same interests as those in control of
the general syndicate, has never been
merged with the latter. One OF these is
that the bonded indebtedness of the COM
pany is so heavy that the earnings have
not for some years sufflced to meet the
fixed charges. and in consequence a re-
ceivership was rendered necessary a few
seasons ago. This excessive bonded in
debtedness is a relic of by-gone era of
road wrecking. The second reason for
the separateness of the City and Suburb
tain minority stockholders who have not
agreed TO the merger. For several sea-
sons the system has been struggling to
make Roadway against the accumulation
OF debts. and totally inadequate service
has been given on the most important
ana most renunerative branch, that
which runs into Maryland.

France and Neutrality.


1t is apparent from the inflamed condition
of Japanese official and popular opinion
that the breaches of neutrality by France
in affording aid and comfort to the Russian
Baltic feet in Kamranh bay and at various
ports within French colonial territorial
waters are becoming exceedingly serious.
One of the most beneficent developments in
recent years in world politics has been the
growing friendship of the French and Brit
ish peoples. The close understanding now
subsisting between the two governments,
the mutual recognition of their community
of interests in many directions by the peo-
Piles of the two nations, the statesmanlike
pacific efforts of the leaders of the two
countries to bind them closer, have had the
happiest results in convincing the world
that they were conspiring in friendly fash
ion for the maintenance of the world s
peace. But the events of the past few weeks
in the far east have brought home to the
world and to the consciousness of the Brit
ish the fact that the Russian-French and
the British panese alliances do not leave
freedom, but subject each country to very
large extent to the fate which an ally may
invoke.

New York.

The New York legislature which ad-
Journed the other day seems to have been
an unusually unruly body. Both repuo-
licans and democrats jumped the party
fence time and again during the session.
and a sort of partisan chaos has resulted.
The party bosses are in high dudgeon at
the wild horses, and the wild horses are
showing no disposition to tame down. 1t
is hardly necessary to add that the people
are paying the penalty. Some very objec-
tionable legislation was enacted. and some
very excellent measures were defeated
The Star made reference last week to the
republican side of the controversy. Neither

| methods at Albany than the town had
known in many years. -,
Still, the democrats, with their principal
boss near at hand. Jared no better. Lead
er Murphy was in his office in New York
during the whole time, in touch by tele-
phone or otherwise with his cohorts in
Albany, and advising and instructing
them as to their duty. But, either that

Naturally Mr. Murphy is indignant and

the most interesting of all the states and

ceeded in persuading the court to order that
after June the roads forming this system
shall cease to transfer passengers free to
other lines or to carry transferred passen-
gers free from other lines In other words
an attempt is to be made to save the fares
that will be paid by passengers exchanging
from other lines to the City and Suburban.
The patrons of the C. and s. lines are
naturally indignant at this prospective
change and are now discussing the pos
sibihty of a petition to the court for a
restraining order that will. at least until
Congress has met and considered the case,
preserve to them the transfer privilege they
have so long enjoyed. The curtailment of
that privilege will seriously affect many
thousands of street railway patrons travel
ing In both directions. 1t will shut Off from
a one-fare ride to Georgetown, to the CEN
trail northwestern part of the city, to the
steamboat wharves and to the southeastern
section all who reside in the area served
by the Brookland and lexington division
of the system. 1t will similarly shut off
from one-fare ride all residents of those
sections who wish to travel to Brookland
and to and beyond lexington.
Whether this will effect a saving of $780,
600 a year to the c. and s., as claimed by
the minority stockholders, remains to be
seen. Transfers usually build business, and
the curtailment of the transfer privilege
will undoubtedly in many cases cause less
car riding for pleasure and some less for
business Particularly in summer will the
necessity to pay out an extra car fare for
each person check the impulse of the fam
lily man of slender means to take his house
hold out for an airing
But, on the other hand. if the curtailment
of the privilege for a season or two will
effect the saving estimated, it will prob
ably hasten the day of emancipation of
these lines from their present thralldom.
1t has been repeatedly promised by the Of
ficials of the syndicate corporation that
as soon as the earnings of the City and
Suburban reached the point where they
met the fixed charges and the current ex-
penses the component lines would be taken
into the combination, probably despite the
protests of minority stockholders, and thus
given the benefit of the larger resources
and the reserve capital of the main corpora
ton and the consequent improvement of
service. 1t Is greatly to the interest of the
capital that these weak lines be merged,
as long as the entire mileage is virtually
controlled by two distinct companies And
to this end a year or two of inconvenience
might be well spent for the sake of the
greater benefit of a consolidation in fact.
Certainly it is impossible to contemplate
with any degree of satisfaction the long
continued ownership of these important
feeders to the main system on the anoma-
lous basis that has existed for several
years.

Japan Has Stood the Test.

The war between China and Japan made
clear to the English-speaking peoples that
new great power had arisen In the far
east 1t Is impossible for the most skepti-
cal to refuse to recognize that we are face
to face with a world power which is des-
tined to exercise great influence not only
in the east. but also in the west-that, In
fact the ascendancy of Europe Is at an
end now that there are two non-European
great powers. 1t Is never to be forgotten
that a great war Is the supreme test OF
national efficiency. That Japan in single
combat with one of the greatest military
powers of the world, the power which
hitherto has been supposed to possess nu-
mercally the largest army, has borne the
test well nobody can deny. Therefore, we
seem warranted in assuming that the pro-
gress of Japan in the early future will be
very rapid-at least rapid as that OF
Germany during the past generation.

The Simple Life,

If men were born to take their ease
And skies were ever blue;
If money only grew on trees
And bills were never due;
If hopes could ripen unrestrained,
With food and lodging free;
If wealth were easily attained
How simple life would be.
But nature says that men must toll
To win her favors fair,
To wrest her bounty from the soil
Or gain surcease of care.
IT'S for the simple life we yearn.
Midst daily ills that vex;
But Fate, mysterious and stern,
Says life must be complex.
