Ogden gives her just time enough TO say hoWdy

in about LADY Bungthorpe, and how he Just missed

Aaricultural Prosperltx.

The ten years OF prosperity this
country has enjoyed since 1897, and
the revolution which has been
wrought in the agricultural industry.
has placed the American farmer in a
position OF financial and economic In
dependence such as the rural popula-
tion of this or no other country has
ever known before, writes II. C. Mich
olas in Van Norden Magazine. The
fixed capital represented in tho agri-
cultural industry today is approx.
mately s25.OOO.OOO.O or more than
four times the capital invested in all
of the manufacturing Industries in the
country. From the position the Ameri.
can farmer now occupies. no financial
disturbances. no business failures in
the outside world. no failure OF any
one or several crops. no hysteria or
political agitation. can hope TO dis.
lodge him.

High school fraternlties are treated
with scant courtesy when they make
an appeal to the courts. The latest
instance OF judicial condemnation oc.
CURED in Chicago. when the appellate
court, last month. declined TO issue an
injunction restraining the school board
from enforcing a rule excluding all
members OF secret fratcrnitles from
participation in literary or athletic
contests. and from using the names OF
the high schools in connection with
the fraternities. The Injunction was
sought through the father OF n mem.
Dor OF one of the fratcrnities on tho
ground that the rule interfered with
the natural rights OF the pupils. The
court decides that the rule against
the fraternities does not interfere with
the rights OF tho young people TO Join
any fraternitIes they choose. and that
1t does not trospass upon parental au.
thority. Tho school contests from
which members OF the fraternities nro
barred do not form part OF the regular
curriculum. and are subject to such
regulations as the school authorities
choose to make In tho exercise OF
their legal discretion.

Why the Bridge Fell.


There will be a sigh of relief all
over the country by reason OF the
substantial proof that the Quebec
bridge disaster was the result of care
lessness which might have been avoid
ed, which ought to have been pre-
vented. This seeming paradox lies in
the fact that at first 1t appeared as II
the fault lay in something outside the
ken of engineers, which made every
large bridge in the country seem po-
tentially unsafe. That the engineer
ing plans as originally drawn were
correct and that they were changed by
an aged and infirm supervising en-
gineer apparently are accepted as the
fundamental facts in the case. 1t was
q man who was at fault and not en-
gineering principles. or course, says
Philadelphia Inquirer, this does not
lessen the terrible aspects of the
tragedy, but 1t does show that the
bridge can be rebuilt and be as safe
as any other structure. II was the
ghost of some unknown principle in
mechanics or physico-chemistry that
frightened engineers and made every
traveller tremble as he crossed one of
the mighty structures which are de-
servedly the pride of engineering.
Now that the ghost is laid there will
be at least the satisfaction of knowing
that It Is not likely we shall have an.
other such accident.
