 There must be many a man who has carefully tucked away his emoluments over that sum and who has failed to give in just proportion to his Uncle samuel. It is human nature to dodge. The report shows that there are al- most ten thousand millionaires in the United States. Quite a gathering. This time next year that number may be doubled. Taking into cOnsidera- tion the present wave of prosperity that is sweeping over the country Uncle Sam should have less trouble in stacking his exchequer with good J ellOw gold.

was classed as an accident" Fatali- ties to trespassers, while classed as railroad acidents'' are accidents flor which the public alone is responsible When you trespass on a railroad you are breaking law made for your own protection" The law of trespass should reasonably cover railroad rights of-way. But it is rarely enforc- ed. The public a-foot feels less hesi- tation about entering a strip of track property than it does about entering farm grounds. The remoteness of railway auth ority is perhaps one ex- planation.
 Tt is true" the bulletin continues, that more people are killed every year trespassing on railroad tracks in the United States than the total num- Der who lost their lives in the John- stoWn flood, the San Francisco earth quake and fire, the Salem, Baltimore and Jacksonville fires and the sinking of the Titanic and Lusitania" Pos sibly an average of 5000 people meet death every year while trespassing on railway property. This is a condition which could be corrected. What is needed is, first of all education, ana this the railroads have undertaken Using newspapers as a medium they are trying to make it clear to all the people that privacy in railroad prop erty is not the result of autocracy, but is requisite to public safety.
 There is general disregard for the mo trespassing" signs which railroads have eretced. A penalty may be at- tached by the auth ority of some state legislatures, but this law is dead, else the record of 5000 victims year would not be maintained. The pedes- trians in a city crowded with traffic would rarely prefer to walk down the middle of the car tracks as long as sidewalks devoted to foot travel were provided. Yet, in a sense, this is what the railway trespasser does. He ignores the highway and follows the route of the railway. Sooner or later the tres passer pays the penalty. Safety first" among pedestrians imposes a general responsibility.

 Somewhat above 3S,O0O make up the town of Geottingen and most of these are interested directly or in- directly in it's world d-renowned univer- sity. The buildings of the university are found scattered in all parts of the town, big and new along more recent streets, old and delapidated in the twisted streets of the ancient city. In its parks, cafes and byways, in nor nal times, almost every language un- der the sun could be heard; for Goet- tingen was a city to which all coun- tries sent their students. It was known throughout Germany as work university in contrast to the more fashionable universities at Heid- elberg and Bonn, and, among its graduates, highly trained American, Englishman. Frenchman and German are now playing prominent parts in the theater of world events
 Besides that of it's great university Goettingen had a secondary fame-an excellent brand of sausage, manufac- tured primarily for the students but respected throughout Germany Also, there were made within it's confines various scientific instruments noted for their delicate accuracy. The saus- age and the instrument manufacture however were too intimately linked with the being of the university to de- tract from it's fame. The American colony at Goettingen was another fea- lure of the little city's life. Due to the generosity of a German who felt the desirability of student friendships be- tween Americans, Germans and Eng Islmen. there was completed for the colony a beautiful clubhouse beside the railway station In the club house were locatel rooms of the Am erican colony, including a large col ony library in English, and a number of class rooms in which subjects were taught and discussed best adapted to bring about a deeper understanding of the German speech, customs, ideals and aspirations. The membership of the colony which moved into these rooms in 1903 numbered more than one hundred, whereas the colony, from year to year, fluctuated in mem bership approximately between fifty to 150. Some members of the colony came to Goettingen many years ago, and, captivated by the charm of the little city have never found heart to leave it.

Who Will Write the Platform |?
Washington Post

The Democratic national committee has already virtually renominated the President So far as the head of the ticket is concerned, the next Democratic national convention, to be held in St. Louis in June, will be merely a formality. The principal work that must be done at that con- vention aside from nominating a Vice President is the drafting of a party platform.
 Already the single-term plank of the Baltimore platform has been eliminated. The plank which sug- gested that the high cost of living could be reduced with the reduction of the tariff is known now to have been based upon a fallacy. Instead of the tariff for revenue only promised by the last platform there is now 4 free-trade tariff which admits 7o per cent. of all imports free of duty and it has not raised sufficient revenue to run the government.
 It is admitted by the Democrats

Twenty Years Ago.

(NeW Haven Register.)
 Twenty years ago the Hon. William J. Bryan had just seen the Tifty- fourth congress convene with the Me- braska seat which for four years he had held occupied by another. IIe had, however, the editorship of the Omaha World-Herald to console him, and serve as an outlet for his views on free silver. But the country at large hadn't worried much abou. Bryan. Congressmen from Nebras- ka didn't loom up large in those days. and free silver was, east of the Miss issippi, little more than a name. But there was Bryan in all his poten- tiality.
 Then came the campaign of 1S96 and to those who participated in it twenty years seems a short time. It was dazzling campaign. There was Bryan going up and down the cour- try flashing his cross of gold and drawing tears with his crowns Of thorns. There was Mark Hanna commanding the cohorts against him. There was the calm, patient, admir- able and soon to be lamentcd Me. kinley. The others have passed on; Bryan has remained. Soundly beat
  gan his Chautauqua foundation. He made hay, not only in the sun of that campaign, but in the four years fol- lowing, and the next four. Did he expect to win in 1904? Probably; anyway, he added capital of the sort he was seeking. He increased it in 1908. He did not fall back in 1912. for the result of that year brought him tO his zenith.
 And now the end of the twenty years is approaching with Bryan still much in evidence, even if his sun is moving toward the western horizcn Politically it has been a stirring twen- ty years. Historically, it has been as notable. It has brought to Bryan many things that men desire, but it has not brought the confidence Of the American people. He however seems as hopeful as she was in De- cember of 1895.
