CLOSE CALL FOR
 NIGHT OPERATOR

L. C. Polston, third trick operator at Diaz, while en route home from Newport had a narrow escape from death lat the hands of an assassin. Polston had remained in New port until the night train had gone and was walking to Diaz, when he was suddenly con fronted by man who arose from beside the track and be gan firing at him.
 Polston dropped to the ground at the first shot and this probably saved his life, las his assailant fired only two more shots at him after he was down, probably thinking he thad been hit by the first shot.
 The would-be assassin turn led and ran after firing the last shot. No reason can be given for the attack, as Polston has no avowed enemies, and he says no attempt was made to rob him.

The Justly Praised Bryan Treaties

The America Review of Re7 views contains the following article with regard to Bryan and tRe peace policies promHl- gated by him. It contains food for thought for those hair-trig- CT iingoes who seem to think that the chief business of na- tional governments is to build war machines for the destruc- ton of other nations.
 Since resigning Mr. Bryan has been in his proper sphere, and everybody is the gainer. His talks about the war and about the making of peace and it's future safeguards have been eminently wise and sensible. The newspaper assertions that he was going out to fight the President, split the Democratic party, and become d rival can didate for the nomination, have not been justified by any word of act of the great eampaigner. He has been proclaiming the value of those treaties of his which call for inVestigationand delay before the outbreak of war between nations.
 ''In the days to come, 1t will appear that Mr. Bryan had really done one great and splendid piece of work as Sec retary of State, in that he had secured the signature of about thirty treaties between the United States and other coun- tries, requiring that unsettled disputes should be submitted to impartial inquiry, and that in all cases there should be an in- tefval of full year for medi- ation or arbitration before re- sort to arms.
 He very justly says that if the issue between Austria and Serbia had thus been dealtwith the present war would have been avoided. We are certainly bound by our own treatiesa and proposals; and it is impossible to imagine this country would go to war upon any defined is sues without being willing to adopt the method of settlement which we have been urging up- on the entire world for just such emergencies.

An exchange has figured it out that one of the great troub- les with the country today is the fact that everybody is try ing to keep up with someone better off than he or she. Thousands of people who are today riding in automobiles ought to be riding a mule. Thousands are driving mules that they have never paid for and never will. Most all of us are longing for the time when We may own an automobile so we can be up in fashion with those who have one. But our desires to catch up with the rich are never gratified About the time most of us poor folks get an automobile the rich will be riding in flying machines, and We will still be behind.

the inventory Is the curtailment Of
activities in some branches and the eN-
tension OF the university's work along
other lines.
