ALL TEAR BOUND SAFETY.

A movement which has something more in view than the calling of the at- tsntion of the people of the country to a s1ecisl effort for few days and then forgetting 1t for the rest of the year Is 10 be inaugurated by the railroads of he country next year according to ad- vices which come from the Baltimore and Ohio road. Because of the success attained by that company dn deaIing with grade crossing accidents the advis- ability of applying it to all the rail- road systems has been recognized, and plans arc underway for such a cam Eaign under the direction of the superin- ,endent of safety Of the B. & o. road.
 The idea is not simply to call to the attention of those who are willing to Iis- ten CT heed. the dangers which exist, but to watch those who disregard the dan- gers and by their action invite accidents which cause so much criticism when they happen. Through noting those who disregard warnings 1t is possible to call directly to their attention just what they are doing and bring home to them their responsibility as in no other way. and where there Is cause for 1t to direct the attention of the authorities to those who are actually reckless. Through Hueh plan 1t is possible to make an zrpeai for cooperation from automobil- iSts which is bound to get more consid- ate attention H any thought at all is 70 be gotten upon the subject from those endangered. Reflection On what might have happened when there is a chance 10 stop and seriously consider the mat fer ought to bring results. and the plan Of the other roads to inaugurate the sam2aign is an excellent endorsement of the B. O. accomplishments.
 One thing that is bound to impress is that feature of maintaining this safety effort throughout the entire year. It is by such an insfstence upon personal safety that there would be effectively sent home the need of respecting grade crossings for it is the highway users at such points that are invariably the greetest sufferers from the collisions.

CONNECTICUT TIMBER.

What Is Connecticut doing in the way of developing forest land and by that means it's timber. supply? We observe from time to time how it's hillsides are being cleared and how thereafter the land is to large extent permitted to take care of itself and develop under brush. We realize how the owners of the tillaible land are raising their crops of vegetables, grain, tobacco and fodder, but we don't hear much about any great efforts in the way of extending or inn proving our forest land or such land as is the best suited for timber growing.
 Connecticut isn't big state. It can- not be expected to rank with the timber producing states but there is opportu- nity for it to and reason why it should do more in the way of supplying its own needs and get a better return from a considerable part of it's acreage. Wood land may be a slow producer but it pays and it is far preferable that attention should be given to the raising of such timber crops as it Is able to produce than to permit it to go to waste or to develop nothing better than firewood from self-sown seed.
 We know how great sums are paid simply for the freight on the timber brought into the state from distant points. We cannot hope to abolish such importations but there is the op- portunfty for the owners of land that Is producing little or nothing and. per- haps fit only for timber raising to get the benefit of the business which is go- ing to others but to which they could have 8 proper claim.
 We are told by the state forester that there are right here within the state r. 4s3.36o acres wlsich are better adapted for timber raising than for anything else. Because timber isn't a one-seasor crop it probably gets slight attention there being other things that bring quicker returns. But timber land does not require constant attention and it is preferable to get it started right and with definite time of cutting in view than to disregard 1t entirely and take 2 chance on getting something out of g weed crop After getting the reforesta- tien work we'll started 1t requires na more attention than the scrub wood ioi but it has far greater possibilities 1T the way of timber yield and banI account.

 Gone Home
 A primary elass in one of the schools was asked to illustrate a story that had been read to them by the teacher. The story told of three girls going to a wood in goat wagon, and staying until the sun went down. Most of the pictures-showed the goat with big horns pulling the wa gon containing the childre nand Q sun going down behind the hill. One of the girls in the class handed in a picture showing merely a hill and some grass.
 Why, what does your picture mean:' inquired the teacher. Where are the goat and the children.
 "They have all gone home,' replied Mary.

which included all his worst enemies. The proceedings against the great advo- cate were, from first to last, grossly H. legal.
 Barneveldt was accused of having fa- vored Arminius in spreading new opin- ions, or opposing the national synod, Of recommending toleration, of suggest ing the enlistment Of the. "Waartgeld- ers," or militia, for the prevention of riots, of receiving presents from for eign potentates, of charging Maurice of Nassau with aspiring to the sovereignty of the country, of offending the king of Great Britain, and in general. of so acting as to put the provinces in danger of civil war.
 For nearly three months the trial went on, and 1t may be said that the atrocities of the French revolution show no worse example of the perver- sion of the spirit and the forms of jus tice. There was no regular arraign- ment, no counsel, no witnesses, and no arguments. The whole process consist ed of raFsbling and tangled mass Of interrogations concerning matters ex- tending over 40 years, addressed to the prisoner without any order or method.
 The advocates defense was the re. cltal Of his whole life. It Is known from the records that he beat his accusers on every point, submitting patiently to the taunts and the ignorant and fnso- lent cross-qucAt Ationing and noisy inter- ruptions of his judges.
 The public generally believed that the prisoner would be acquitted of the graven charges or, at the worst, dis placed from office and put into perma- nent political disgrace.

Famous Trials
John of Rarnereldt.

John van Olden, who is known to fis- tory as John of Barneveldt, was an emi- nent Dutch statesman who lived during the second half of the 18th century. He was 8 Hollander and served his country as a diplomat at several important sta tions and in the settling of a number of vexed questions, for in his day Holland cut quite a figure in the political his- tory of Europe.
 Barneveldt for many years was grand pensionary of Holland and was aligned with the republican party. The animos- Ny between his party and their oppo- nents was aggravated by religious dis sensions, and Barneveldt favored the Arrninians or Remonstrants. The oppo- sition party favored the Gornarists, and this party was supported by the major ity of the army, the clergy and the pop ulace.
 When the synod of Dort@in 1913 con- demned the Arminians, BarneNeldt was accused of treason. He was arrested on Aug. 29 at the Binnenhof, where he had gone to attend a session of the States of Holland. When the news became known of the great statesman's arrest there was great excitement at The Hague. Barneveldt was equally popular In France as at home, and French en- voys labored earnestly for his libera- tion.
 In prison Barneveldt had his papers taken from him and he was deprived of all writing materials, while access tt his room was denied to all his relative' and friends. His trial did not begin til March T, of the following year. Durins the nearly seven months of his deten tfon a flood of calunny had been le loose against him such as had hardly 2 parallel in political history. He was if possible to be dishonored before h' was destroyed.

ALLIED ASSURANCES.

In the presentation of Frances posi- ton relative to defense and the mainte- nance of an army in the future Premier Briand laid stress upon the protection of the country and emphasized the fact that either France must be ready to pro- tect itself or else it must have the as- surance of the other nations that they would stand by It in case of attack. He pictures Frances position in no uncer- tain terms and it must be that he leaves for home well impressed by the rel sponse that his speech called forth. It is well enough for Germany to de- cry the fears of Briand It is to be fondly hoped that Germany cannot spring into action as quickly as he claims and has no desire to if it could. Could France be assured of that condi lions would be much different. Time will of course show what the situation is and whether France is too much con- cerned over it's security. It Is case where others must imagine themselves In the position of France after having had Frances experience. No one would be happier to know or be more willing 1 to be convinced that milttarism was dead
 and not sleeping in Germany in spite of all that the allies have done to put il out of business, than Briand and the country he represents.
 But with the setting forth of Frances | fears 1t is plainly evident that if Ger.
 many is not harboring old inperialisti( 1 ideas that 1t can do no better thing fol l the peace of itself and neighbors and 1 the world in general than to devote it: efforts to eliminating suspicious of its ! motives.
 l It could hardly fail to be impressed by
 the responses that were made to the Briand speech when Baifour for Eng
 land declared there could be no fear O
 that country faltering should there bt
 menace to the peace, independence O. l self development of our neighbors. when the Italian spokesman gave simi | lar expression, when Kato for Japar
 voiced like sentiment, when Belgium de | clared it's attitude toward France wa!

WHAT DIFFERENTIATION CAN DO

'fWhy won't they let me alone?' de- manded the eligible bachelor, throw ing down the correspondence card he had gingerly fished out of the square envelope. .I have a Wretched dispo- sition and am set in my ways and call culated to make any woman unhappy, so why should well meaning ladies per sist in trying to marry me off to trust ing young women?"
 Its their contrariness,' offered the second eligible bachelor gloomily. ''The minute most women see man going along through life without any trou bles to speak of it makes them mad and they begin to scheme. Don't tell me it is Lily again?'
 Tt is Lily" the first eligible bach elor admitted in deep tones of resigna-
 ton. 'If it wasn't that I didn't know you had never set eyes on her,

 'sThe minute Lily's aunt laid eyes on

 When I went east instead of west last summer she was a broken wo- man.
 But what is she writing you about ?'' inquired his sympathetic friend

SHORT FINGERS

As long fingers, if slender and taper ing indicate the dreaming mind, of fine perceptions, and if not tapering the mind which enjoys and is efficient in detail, so short fingers indicate the opposite of both of these tendencies.
 Short fingers reveal the people who are practical and impatient of small things.
 Their minds are of the type which consider things i'll bulk rather than in de- tail. To use an arbitrary illustration, the long-fngered person would incline to ex- amine tiIe detail of picture and the tech nique of the artists brush strokes. The short-fngered one would be more inclined
