fact that steerage traffic is immense

IMPORTANT COURT DECISION.

The supreme court OF the United
States has recently rendered. a very
important decree. one sustaining the
federal law making the initial carrier
liable for the loss in shipments.
Formerly il was difficult matter
for a shipper TO fix the responsibility
for loss or damage when the ship
ment went over several lines, and II
was then a long and tedious task e
recover. However. an amendment
bearing on this feature gave the de-
sired relief in that ii fixes the re-
sponsibility. This amendment has
been sustained in this recent de-
cision.
Justice Lamar, who has just taken
his seat IN the supreme court. argued
the case for the railroads, the objec-
ton to the law being that IL inter
fered with the freedom Of contracts.
Justice Lurton contended that
there was no such thing as absolute
freedom OF contract, saying:
Contracts which contrsvene pub
lie policy cannot be lawfully made al
all. and the power TO make contracts
may in all cases be regulated as 70
form. evidence and validity as 70

ment tends to the denial OF liberty

WHEN WE CAN ageMgsAACkr

II IS beginning 20 be realized that
we are building the Panama Canal
for Germany, Great Britain, Japan and
other nations that carry freight by
sea. II is evident that. the trading
ships of other nations will use the
waterway to much greater than will
the people of this country. How can
II be otherwise? Our ships, owing to
the tariff and the high price of labor,
cost 80 per cent more than the ships
Of any other country. Our sailors
cost twice as much as those OF any
European country and FIVE times as
much as the wonderfully seasoned
and competent sailors OF Japan and
China. We ceased suddenly to be a
maritime country fifty years ago and
We will never again be a maritime
country until We can compete. on a
financial basis in ships and men, with
European and Asiatic peoples.

for Trinity college. Although the re-

the institution still live, and when
These principles are transferred TO
larger and more adequate surround
ings, whe.e the faculty has better ia
cilities than ever before TO teach the
doctrines with which they are imbued,
Lii is an epoch that should not be
passed lightly by. For years those in
terested in Trinity college have labor
ed for the institution that they loved.
For years they have watched it grow,
until today it ranks with the leading
colleges of the southland
Only time may count the opportuni-
ties that today are awaiting the en-
trance of Trinity into the larger life.
With the completion of the first of
the group. this institution his already
taken on a new life. As the other
buildings of the group are complet-

larger life of which DR.. w. P. Few
