A VERY INTERESTING ARTICLE

! New York, October 21.-Interest
manifestations of the great degree
of safety attending travel on Ameri
can railways are given by promi.
nent newspaper in an article based
on Interstate Commerce Commission
figures which show t1at during the
six year period, 1905-1911, only
one passenger out of every "a, 736
received injury of any kind and only
one out Of every 2,275, 123 was
killed.
Commenting Upon these figl res
this paper says:
A typical journey for all roads
in the country is now IS miles, and
there are taken on the average
2,275,122 such journeys in safety
to each journey which results fatal
ly. It man were to ride out these
z,215,122 safe journeys at two per
day for each, business day in the
year, it would take him 1872 years.
10 have begun in time to meet his
death in 1914, he would have had
to start in the year 1778 B. c., 458
years before Moses led the children
of Israel through the Red Sea. By
$50 B. c., when Romulus was
regulating Remus by modern
methods, the commuter would have
ridden II 100000 miles, and have
had So, 100000 yet to go. When
Phidias, in 400 B. c., was carving
the Olympian Zeus, our wayfarer
would have been bat one-third of
the way toward his death; and even
IN the year $50 A. D., when Alfred
the Great was letting the griddIe
cakes burn, this traveller would
have spent the equivalent of 2O7
years on the trains running at 30
miles an hour, and would have had
81 years more of actual travel to
spend before meeting his fatal acct
dent.

Charity is never lost; it may NEE,
with ingratitude, or be of no service
to those on whom it was bestowed
yet it ever does a work of beauty
and grace upon the heart of the
giver. The deeds of charity we
have done shall stay with us for
ever-only the wealth we have so
bestowed do we keep; the other is
not ours.
would have none of that rigid
and circumspect charity which is
never exercised without grunting,
which always mistrusts- the reality
ofthe necessities laid upon to it.
The charities that soothe, and
heal, and bless, lie scattered at the
feet of men life flowers.
The charity that hastens to pro-
claim its good deeds, ceases to be
charity, and is only pride and os-
tentation.
The last, best fruit that comes
late to perfection, even in the kindi-
est soul. is tenderness toward the
hard, forbearance toward the un-
forbearing, warmth of heart toward
the cold, and philanthropy toward
the misanthropic.
The truly generous is truly wise,
and he who loves not others, lives
unblest.
Loving kindness is greater than
laws; and the charities of life are
more than all ceremonies.

CONGRESS SETS CONVICTS
ABOVE CHILDREN.
Owen R. Lovejoy Discusses New
Tariff Law.

"Convicts we protect; children we
exploit" Secretary Owen R. Love
joy of the National Child Labor
Committee pointed out yesterday
that the action of Congress is in
. cooperating in the new tariff the
clause which bars from import the
PRODUCTS OF convict labor, and omit
ting the sister clause which referred
to child labor is in line with popu-
lar policy hitherto. In more than
one state the eight hour day was
: established for adults in prison work
rooms before it was decreed for
children in factories.
At the suggestion of the Nationa!
Child Labor Committee, Senator
Borah last June proposed to exclude
from importation all goods made by
workers under "a years of age. The
amendment was favorably reported
by the Senate Finance Committee
and at once storm of protest and
derision arose. Importers declared
with more fervor than logic that
such law would ruin their busi-
ness and that il would be impossi-
bic of enforcement. For the fist
time the National Child Labor Com
mittee found its policy endorsed by
the organs of the American textile
trade. The foreign press scented
plot of American employers and de-
nounced US as nation Of hypo-
critics. Congress needed the clamor
and after mutilating the amendment
beyond recognition-putting out its
eyes with an adverb and drawing
its teeth with exemptions they
killed it entirely on the final vote.
When Mr.. Lovejoy was asked
whether he was greatly disappoint-
ed by the failure of the child labor
amendment, he said: In one way,
| am. But feel that the incident
has brought to popular attention
three things which need to be re-
cognized and which fought to shame
the nation into making moe rapid |
advance against child labor.
In the first place, the sensitive
American conscience can Contemp- /
late in peace the youngsters in
American cotton mills and Canneries
without fear of being reproached for
interest in children elsewhere. The
nation is saved from the charge of
hypocrisy: it accepts child labor.
Then, too, the rights of busi-
ness are indicated. The market is
open to all facrory products. We
can enjoy our silks from Japan, our
bLrlaps from India, our diverse OBJ
jects Made in Germany and our
textiles from Lancashire with the
comfortable assurance that no vag-
aries of American refurmers have
hlndered foreign business.
sAnd lastly, in spite Of the pre-
cedence given to business over the
claims OF childhood, the prohibition
of convict goods does mark new
step in international commerce. 1t
establishes the claim of social con-
dltions upon international regulation
and makes inevitable ultimately the
world wide prohibition of child labor.

trated Lecture, (night) Road Build

3. Supervision. Professors Stacy
and Hicker>on of the department OF
Civil engineering will give their
services and the services of five
competent men from the higher
classes in Road Engineering to take
charge of groups of workers in
Orange County under your plan of
organization.
3. Publicity. The County Clubs
of the University will distribute such
literature as you can furnish and
will write articles for their home
county papers on the subject CT
Good Roads, and the Importance
of this present effort.
4. Actual Road Work. Volun-
teers from the University communi-

to work any given piece of road, if
the Survey find practical a plan for
using them on the afternoons of
November 5th and 9th.
We will appreciate any sugges-
tons you may make supplementary
to this programme.
The value of these two days will
come not so much in the actual
road constructed, though that will
be great; but in driving home the
idea, so difficult to hold
iii mind, that our govern
ment is primarily cooperative en-
terprise in constructive achievement.
Every blow struck on our highw avs
makes emphatic and personal this
great idea.
The Road is not merely an avenue
If trade and community intercourse;
t . is symbol of community
strength and test Of our grasp of
he meaning of democracy.
Sincerely yours,

FREEDOM,

10 nave freedom is only to have
that which is absolutely necessary
to enable us to be what we ought
to be, and to possess what we ought
to possess.
No man is free who is not mas.
ter of himself.
The cause of freedom is identified
with the destinies of humanity, and
in whatever part of the world it
gains ground, and by it will be a
common gain to all who desire it.
Void of freedom, what would vir-
ture be?
The greatest glory of.a free-born
people is to transmit that freedom
to their children.
There are two freedoms; the false
where man is free to do what he
likes; the true, where man is free
to do what he ought.
He is the freeman whom the
truth makes free, and all are slaves
besides.
A faithful friend is a true imaee
of the Deity.
Friendship is the only thing in
the world concerning the useful
ness of which all mankind are
agreed.
A faithful and true friend is a
living treasure, inestimable in
possession, and deeply to be lam
ented when gone. Nothing is more
common than to talk of a friend:
nothing more difficult than to find
one; nothing more rare than to inn
prove by-one as we ought.
Friendship improves happiness
and abates misery, by doubling our
JOY, and dividing our grief.
Those friends are weak and
worthless, that will not use the
privilege of frieedship in admonish-
ing their friends with freedom and
confidence, as well of their errors
as of their dangers.
Be not the fourth friend of him
who had three before and lost
them.
By friendship you mean the
greatest love, the greatest useful.
ness, the most open communica-
tlon,, the noblest sufferines. the
severest truth, the heartiest counsel
and the greatest union of minds of
which brave men and women are
capable.
If man does not make new ac-
qualntances as he passes through
life he will soon find himself left
alone; A man should keep his
friendships in constant repair
All men have their frailties. and
whoever looks for a friend without
lmperfection, will never find what
seeks. We love ourselves notwith-
standing our faults, and we ought
to love our friends in like manner
The friends thou hast and their |
adoption tried, grapple them to thy
soul with hooks of steel.
Two persons can not long be
friends if they cannot forgive each
others little failings.
The difficulty is not so great to
die for a friend as to find a friend
worth dying for.
The only way to have a friend
is to be one.
CHARITY
First daughter to the love of God
IS charity to man.
Charity gives itself rich; coyet-
