A. COLUMBIA BOOSTERS CHANCE.

A Columbia travelling salesman
made a statement recently which af-
fords a suggestion for an excellent
plan of cooperation between the Uni
versity and the city of Columbia. He
said he knew of number of families
over the state that are thinking of
moving to Columbia to educate their
children.
The commercial Club has a splendid
opportunity here to work for the good
of the city and for the good of the
University at the same time. The good
of the two is really one and the same.
A prosperous and large University
means good business for Columbia
Similarity large and prosperous Co
lumbia means better facilities for the
University.
If the Commercial Club had access
to the University's list of prospective
students it might induce a large num-
Der of families to move to Columbia.
There are plenty of arguments for liv-
ing in Columbia and these could easily
be put into special literature to be
sent to families that are thinking OC
sending children to the University.
The number that would respond would
more than pay for the advertising and
boosting effort.
A little systematic advertising of the
city among the families thinking of
sending children to college or univers-
ity would bring more such families to
Columbia than now move here. There
is no reason why the present number,
which has come without special effort,
cannot be increased. The work would
also probably bring students here who
would not otherwise come.

ROAD ECONOMIES BY DIRT.

few weeks ago the citizens of a
small town in Pennsylvania turned
out to wash the windows of an Erie
Railroad train when it stopped there
Last week the manager of the road
testified that the road was saving
$4,000 month by not washing the
windows of its cars. The Public Util-
tiles Commission of New Jersey had
called the manager before it for an ex-
PLANTATION.
The manager testified that the COM
pany was too poor to clean its cars.
1t was also brought out that the en-
gines were so dirty that it was impos-
sible to tell whether there were any
loose bolts on them, a condition that
endangers the lives of many persons
every day. 1t is significant in cOnnec-
ion with the testimony that the road
was too poor to have its cars and
engines cleaned, that the manager re-
fused to testify as to the salaries of the
officials of the road. He evidently
recognized that the pay in our corpor-
atiOns is entirely too lop-sided for the
good of the road.
1t certainly seems that something
radical should be done with a SOM
pany that is too poor to keep its cars
clean. Either the officials of such a
road are extravagant, including the
salaries they draw, or they are incom-
petent and should leave the road to
the control Of others. That a railroad
should be SO poor as to compel 1t to
practice economy at the expense of its

The change in transportation methods

Will China continue as a nation? Or
will this age-old empire be dismem-
bered through the weakness and in
capacity of its administrators and the
strength and greed of foreign powers
These are questions that every student
of the Chinese asks. The answer is
not easy China would probably have
been parcelled out among the western
powers long ago except for two good
reasons-Great Britain and the United
States. Another and potent reason ex-
listed and still exists to prevent dis
memberment, the inability of the ma
tons to agree among themselves as
to how China, If dismembered, shall be
divided. This difficulty could doubt
less be solved if Great Britain and the
United States would agree to the dis
memberment. The future of China, its
national existence, its real progress
and prosperity, as it's growth in the
that exalteth a nation,
depend upon Great Britain and the
United States and in an especial man
ner upon the United States. Given
