Our President.

Woodrow Wilson lives a life Of
righteousness, love and Justice to
all. He mounts the obstacles of
this life like a second Savior, until
he reaches the highest pinnacle in
this Nations gift.
He steps into the White House
and releases US from political
slavery; abscOnds the erafters as far
as he is able and takes sides with
humanity rather than with the
wealthy. Today ne stands the top
most man of the world on the rock
Of love and justice to humanity.
Truly he is a real follower of the
Prince of Peace. He fearlessly
calls the Kaiser to account for his
INHUMANITY and expects the people
Of the world To back him. Thank
God for such a leader to follow.

of securing bids, to list of timber

Forester's Office there is a constant

being listed, for example, in this
section Of the State, 30 such opera

Since the trees for sale are all
plainly marked, these prospective
purchasers wiz have every oppor-

them; the owner himself, having a
careful and detailed estimate Of that
portion of his woods, is also in q
position to deal IntelIigently with
the buyer. The State Forester will
furnish the owner with a form of
contract suitable for covering such
an operation in n manner that will
best insure the protection of the
young growth and prevent any un-
necessary damage. being fair TO the
buyer and protecting the owner
from the removal of any but mark

been carried out the woodland will
be in a fit condition to produce an
other crop. If its owner had not
been thoroughly convinced of the
practical, cash value of the State
Fo-ester's cooperation, the same
tract Of timber might have been Gu,
clear at actually less profit to him;
and being so cut, without marking,
without estimating aud without re-
striction, there would have beer
nothing left to produce another
crop. This forms single instance
of assistance which is offered every
farmer of the State. The work i,
inexpensive and the results ar,

Every summer many Austrians and

DIE ON TRACKS.
Increase in Trespassing Fatalities in
United States.

The Union Pacific has just issued
figures showing that during the yesr
1914 there was an alarming increase
in deaths and injuries resulting from
trespassing upon their right-of-way.
During 1913, there were 81 deaths
and 48 injuries; while in 1914 These
figures have been raised to 4S killed
and 80 injured.
A small proportion of these acct
dents occurred to the class known as
''hoboes," the balance to careless
users of the right-of-way. This proves
that 1.-The short cut along railroad
tracks" is dangerous in the extreme,
not only to school children but to
working men who walk to work
Any amount of caution exerted by
railroad employees will not materially
decrease the number of accidents oc-
curing to trespassers, and it would
seem that the only procedure that
will shorten the list of fatalities il
for the state legislatures to pass laws
that will absolutely prohibit persons
other than railroad employees from US
ing the railroads right-of-way.
The readers of this paper would be
astounded upon hearing of a single
accident resulting in the death of As
persons and the injury of double that
number, and the accident would i'm
mediate1y be investigated and, if pos.
sible, the cause removed.
While these accidents to trespass-
ers are scattered through a number
of states and occur at separated
periods, the total result is just as ap-
palling. The responsibility rests upon
the general public and the State Leg
islatures and no effort should be
spared in taking the necessary pro-
cedure to have this unnecessary loss
of life and limb entirely wiped out
