Selecting Christmas Cards.
The time has come for the selection
of the Christmas cards. II. has been
the idea with a great many people to
send these the smallest expression of
Christmas thoughts to their friends
alone. Then others take the opposite
standpoint and send cards to those
who, in their minds, will not have a
large Christmas or to people away
fIom home.
A Christmas card is appreciated by
everyone. and when possible should be
sent to all whom one wishes to send
the seasons greetings. and on this day
almost everyone feels as though ev-
eryone with whom one has an acQuain-
lance should be remembered.
There are all shorts of these cards
the variety large enough to suit most
any one. Some of them bear inscrip-
tons for old friends and others some

TRESPASSiNG ON RAILROADS.

The following editorial that appear
ed in the Fort Worth Record OF Feb
ruary 6 offers food for reflection:
A few days ago a citizen of Del
Rio and his little boy were killed bE
railroad train while they stood on
"A bridge looking at the water rushing
over "A dam below. They had been
walking for pleasure and stopped on
the bridge, which is not far rom
curve. The noise OF the rushing wa
ters prevented them from hearing the
, train and the curve prevented ne 10
comotive engineer from seeing them
until it was too late.
The incident recalls statement By
Hon. Brown +. Lee of San Angelo re-
Gently published in the Texas press
AIR Lee cites figures showing that 100
out of 279 persons killed by Texas
railroad trains last year were trespass-
ers. and that 49,1l3 trespassers were
killed in the United States, being 10
per cent of all killed in the operation
of railroad trains during ten-year
period As he suggests, something
, ought to be done to stop the trespass-
ing upon railroads. Human life is too
valuable to be sacrificed by careless
ness. Besides. there is an element OF
rank injustice in requiring railway
company to pay damages for injuries
TO persons who have no right to be
upon its tracks.
The law wisely provides for the pro
lection of railway employees and pass
engcrs by requiring elaborate and
multiplied safety devices. 1t does so
/ for the conservation of human life
and for the preservation of the hap
pincss of relatives and friends. 1t
should, also. devise some method for
AT least minimizing deaths and injur-
les to trespassers.
\ railroad track should not he lsed
as footpath or a promenade.
Railroad corporations manage to
keep livestock off their right of way
by fences and stock yards, but these
do not deter human trespassers who
move at will upon amy railroad track
that lies in the direction of their Jour
ney.
Crossing railroads upon the public
highways. which is necessary, causes
many deaths and injuries which Z is
impossible to prevent But trespassinS
beyond the highway ought to be pro
hibited 10y law with penalties suffi-
cieut to restrain the person Of aver
age Intelligence.
Sound public policy in the protect
ion OF human life and simple justice
To the railway corporations call for
some legislative effort to arrest the
decade harvest of i9.ll3 trespassers
upon railway tracks That number of
persons represents a small city and
several million dollars a year in pro
ductive energy, not to mention the
homes sorrowed. the women widowed
and the children orphaned.

ED TO BEAT THE SGAcTioNAR-
les. LA FoLLFTTE's COURSE.

Washington, Feb. 1S.-Gilford Pin
chot. in a signed statement made pub
lie Sunday night, announced that he
has withdrawn his support from Sen
ator LaFollette's presidential candi-
dacy and that he hereafter will ad-
vocate the nomination of Theodore
Roosevelt.
Mr.. Pinchot declares that the events
of the last month have made It ap-
parent that Senator I.aFollette's can
didacy will neither hold the progress
| i've republicans together as "A lighting
force. nor prevent the nomination Of
"a reactionary republican,.
The course which the senator has
elected to pursue, says the statement
will not keep the progressives to-
gether, and in that course cannot
follow him
The statement follows:
The struggle which until recently
has centered around Senator LaFoll-
ettes candidacy was undertaken for
two clear and specific purposes: first,
TO hold the proercssivee together as an
effective fighting force, and second TO
prevent the nomination of reaction
AIRY republican for the presidency.
Within the last month circumstances
have made it impossible to accom-
plish by means of the candidacy of
Senator 1.aFollette either of these
two PURPOSES, and the imperative
need for another leader has been
made plain.
Cannot Follow Him.
"One of these circumstances is the
