THOUSANDS OF cHAUFFEURs.
New York State Has More Than 10000
Buzz Cars.

According to reliable reports there are
something like 1000 automobiles in use
on the roads Of New York state, while
the records OIL file at the office Of the
secretary of state show 5000 profession
al motorists registered under the re-
quirements of the motor vehicle law.
This indicates a tremendous growth OF
automobiling in the empire state. for in
1901, which Is the first veal that auto
mobiles required registration, there
were only 1900 machines owned and OPP
Grated in the state.
Although not all registered machines
are owned by persons residing in New
York, at least Is per cent. Of them can
be SO rated. OF course, some motorists
own two and three machines. Colonel
John Jacob Astor heads the list of indi-
viduals with twenty-five Of various
styles and horsepower under his name
at Albany.
Next to him comes w. *. Vanderbilt,
jr., who is credited with fourteen. The
largest owner are the great depart
ment stores and mercantile establish
ments which operate their delivery sys-
tenn by this means. The largest single
owner is a big express company, which
owns thirty-two delivery trucks To-

went into effect, nearly four years ago.
between Is, 900 and 16. 900 machines have
been registered. Among these, however,
are many which have worn out and
gone to the scrap heap. Since the law
has Deer in force only four years, how
ever, and the average automobile is
quilt to last considerably longer, it is
not likely that the figures would re-
uuire much reduction for this reason.
The first automobile owner regis
tered on April 26. 1901. The total num-
Der to March 1, this year, was 1854.
The increase has proceeded at a re-
markable rate. At the end Of the first
year the record showed only 1,020 We
hicles owned and operated in the state.
A year later, March l, 1903. the number
was 2,OS7. A year ago the number had
increased to 9,O35, and over 5000 ma

Now, are railroads of a public ma
ture? Do their rates concern the wei
fare of society,"
1t has been settled by the courts Of
every state i'm the Union, as we'll as by
the United States Supreme Court that
railroads are of q public nature and
are doing public service.
The government has aided and en-
couraged in the construction of rail-
roads for some purpose, and upon the
same principle that it has provided
national defences and suitable harbors
1t is because of their public service
that the government has incorporated
these railroads and has lent its SOW
ereignty to the task Of authorizing
their construction and has permitted
the exercises of right Of eminent do
main. With this action on the
part of the government these railroads
could never have been constructed and
maintained The right of eminent do
main has given railroad companies the
right and privilege of using another's
property whether he cares or not.
Railroads arc not private III the
sense that merchants business Is
private. Any man can put him up q
store and go to merchandising. But
railroads owe their creation and eX~
istence to the government.
"Competition is entirely inadequate

roads have been grouped into six sys-
TENS, directed and controlled by six
men.
mo one will doubt that railroads
concern everybody. Their rates enter
into every necessary and luxury of life.
1T is from the charges of these rail
roads that the people have been suf-
fering. 1t is a righteous adjustment
of these rates for which they arc this
day clamoring.

Dr. Lewis SdlG.
DIR. Lewis Speech of Acceptance.
Ladies and Gentlemen:
LAS the representative of the Board
of Trustees of the University, it be-
comes my pleasing duty to accept on
their behalf the splendid gymnasium
building which has been presented to
us by the Hon. w. p. Bynum in the
letter you have just heard read We
deeply regret that his infirmities pre-
vent his presence with us today IN
person, and we sincerely wish his
speedy restoration to health and
strength.
Speaking for the trustees, as well as
for the people of the whole State whose
institution this is / wish to express tC
the generous donor, whom we honor
and esteem, as the brave soldier, the
able lawyer the upright judge and
tho patriotic citizen, our nigh appre-
citation of his noble gift. We thank
him most sincerely for this rich pro-
vision he has made for the proper
physical training of our students for
generations to come; and we are es-
pecially grati6ed that it has taken
the form of memorial to his talented
grandson and namesake.
william Preston Bynum, Jr., was
student here of the class of 1898,
but lived to complete only two years
of the course. The Dean of the Fac
ulty. in the absence of the president,
replying to my inquiries tells me that
he was an exceptionally brilliant stu
dent, of fine manly qualities and lovely
character, and adds: I have been
teaching for thirty-two years and have
known many fine students and men;
but young Bynum's name always
comes first to my mind when / think
of them.
In the dawn of a manhood of such
rare promise with the glow of the
East shining on his bright young face
Gods finger touched him and he
slept. But his is not the sleep of OBJ
livion. He will never be forgotten as
long as the records of this institution
remain and its walls stand. Among
the very foremost on its long roll of
honor extending back more than
hundred years his name is writ in in
delible ink, and on the front of this
beautiful building it is carved in stone
that will Withstand the tooth of time
for centuries to come.
There could not nave been devised
more fitting memorial to a college
boy than this. Nothing appeals more
to lusty youth than athletics in all it's
forms. The gymnasium is the centre
of this department of the University
life-it IS its very heart And therein
Is enshrined for future generations OF
manly young men the name of Will
liam Preston Bynum, the name OF
both grandson and grandfather ever
to be held in grateful remembrance.
No gift could have been more OPP

Mr.. Kerr for the Affirmative.

Mr.. j. S. Kerr. first speaker for the
affirmative, said that the question re-
solves itself into discussion Of
whether or not this government should
regulate railroad rates, and if so, is
the proposed method the best way.
1t was his purpose to show that it is
the duty of the government to regu-
late railroad rates. First, because it
is the function and duty of the gov
eminent to regulate everything that is
of public nature and that concerns
the welfare of society. and because
railroads are of a public nature; their
rates do concern the welfare of So
ciety; therefore, it becomes the duty
and business of the government to
regulate them.
This society in which a man lives
is the most important factor in maxi
ing him what he is. Since society
makes the man, it is above all things
essential that whatever concerns So
ciety should be properly regulated.
Now it is my contention that what
ever concerns society can not be left
entirely to the individual. The in
dividuaI is no more capable of reg
ulating what concerns the body-politic
than my hand is capable OF regulating
what concerns my entire body.
