Mr.. Roosevelt says that his friends
will make hit with him by just call
ing him mister" There is nothing
quite so clumsy as the way we speak
of those who were chief executives Of
the nation. "Ex-president" or former
president" is about the extent of the
titles that may be applied to these
eminent persons, and both Of them
suggest state of has-been rather than
a condition of honored retirement.
Even the grand mogul who goes
through the chairs in a common lodge
has a more exalted title and usually is
known as the grand and worshipful
past high kicker or something else that
savors of honor. We do not know ex-
actly what the title of an ex-president
should be, says the Chicago Daily
News, but II some one will donate a
toothpick we will offer it as a reward
for the best suggestion as to how to
designate once-upon-atime president.

Trolley Roads and Farm Values.

Trolley Roads and Farm Values.
recent item notes that farmers in
Ohio are complaining that the extern
zion of trolley roads through the rural
districts increases the facilities for
the young people to leave the farms
and go to the cities. If the country
trolley roads were taking young people
away so that the farms cannot be
worked as well as formerly, the ma
tural effect would be to depreciate the
value of farm property. The contrary
effect has been noted. says the Pitts
burg Dispatch. Only the other day 1t
was commented on that the opening OF
an electric road in western Pennsylva-
mia had enhanced the value Of farms,
formerly offered at 500 per acre, to an
asking price of $3.50 to $1,000. The
same result has been observed in other
cases. 1t is quite possible that these
advances may in some cases prove to
be overdone, as the spread of electric
roads is bringing vast range of farm
property into the market. But it is a
notorious fact that this improvement
of local communication increases the
ability to make farm life pleasant, so
that it brings large element of new
purchasers into the market and almost
invariably appreciates the value of
farms.

The New York Medical Journal says
that there is a decided reduction in the
number of medical students as COM
pared with the immediate past, and at
tributes it to arbitrary standards in
medical education" The decline is
probably due to the fact that during
the past decade there has been a great
outpouring of young doctors from the
various medical schools, with rapid
multiplication of shingles" of practi-
TONERS and a corresponding splitting
up of the business from financial
standpoint. The same has been true
of the bar. There has been too great
a rush to the professions, with conse-
euent overstocking of the markets.

The association of life insurance
presidents is apparently somewhat
skeptical whether or not Prof. Irving
Fisher is correct in his contention
that Is years can be added to the
span of human life by the adoption Of
certain practical hygenic reforms,
but their appointment of human
life extension committee indicates
that they are not disposed to reject
st altogether. They are willing to
look into the subject. Why shouldn't
they? One of the great life insurance
companies lately showed that death
occurred among their policyhoiders
every six minutes. What If they could
extend this interval to seven or eight
minutes? 1t would make vast differ
ence in their financial exhibits, to say
nothing of the benefits that would thus
be conferred upon mankind generally.
1T is we'll worth the effort involved.
