College attendance In America may
show a slight falling 09 tbe coming
year, owing to the nureat and unoer
taintr arising Irom tbe possibility of
this government beooming directly in
volved in tbe war. Dr. Charles Frank
lin Ihwing, io aa artiole In tbe De
troit Free Pieee, expressee tbe feat
that tbe (Dooming claEsei may be
' somewhat lessened, and that active
and aggressive plans for tbe enlarge
ment of tbe courses of lnstrnottoo, of
endowments and general oollege facil
ities may be limited, Notwithstand
ing, however, these possibilities, tbe
' two great elements which oonstltnte
tbe higher ednoation are not in peril
of being seriously affected in this ooon
try. That great and ever increasing
part of tbe higher ednoation, known
as research will still go forward, In
laboratory and library scholars will
continue to pnrsoe their vooatlon of
seeking for, disoovering and publish
ing what teems to be tbe trntb. In
deed the war may promote tbe culti
vation of this Held. For scholars
wbo in times of peaoe wcnld have gone
to Uermany or France oi England will
stay at home ; and other aobolara too
may oome from foreign parts to par
goo their Investigations in tbe univer

'Necessity required the woman of olden days to watch
every penny in the conducting of the household and
supplying it with its requirements. oMoney was not
as plentiful in those days, nor did she enjoy the ad
vantage of being able to procure nearly everything
needed for the house, all made up and ready to use.
This is a good thought to bear in mind in these times of plenty and this is a

V.-E. P. RIPLEY
On Relatione of Rallroeds and People
The industrial
leaders ot this
nation are talking
to the public tnce
to face through
the columns ot
this paper. The
time was when If
a corporation had
anything to say
to tbe people they
sent a hired hand,
whispered it
through a lawyer
or employed a
lobbyist to ex
plain It to the legislature, but the men
who know and the men who do are
now talking over the fence to the
man who plows. vi
When the leading business men of
this nation got "back to the soil" with
their problems, strife and dissension
will disappear, tor when men look In-.
to eneb other's faces and smile there
Is a better day coming.
Mr. IS. P. Ripley, presldont of the
Banta Fe Railroad, when asked to give
his views In reference to relations ex
isting between the railroad and the.
public Bald In part:
"Frequently we hear statements to
the effect that those relations are
Improvtug, that the era of railroad
balling haa passed and tbat publlo
sentiment now favors treating the rail
roads fairly. As yet this change In
publlo sentiment, If any buc!i there be,'
Is not effective In results.
It Is true that In the legislatures) ot
the southwestern slates during the,
past winter there were frwer unreae
onnhlo and unreasoning lawa passed
thnn usual, hut a consideration of ihe
hostile bills Introduced shows that
llinro Is still reason (or much dining
even though they were defeated by
more or loss of a majority.
Moreover, the Idea that the railroads
liavo been harBlily treated dries not
seem to prevail In the offices of the
State Railroad Commissions which
siwm to ohorlBh uotloijthat their
business Is not to act aa an arbitrator
between the rallroadB and the people,
but which proceed on the theory that
the railroads are able to take care of
themselves anil that their dut;,- la to
act as attorney for the people even
though In ao dolus they deny Justice
to the railroads. It requires no argu
ment to demonstrate that the rail
roads aro entitled to Justice equally
with other cltlrcns aud taxpayers.
That Ihoy have not received It and
are not receiving It Is perfectly sus
coptthle of proof. That they have
practically no recourse In the courta
bas slso been determined.
The situation therefore Is that the
people, through their representatives,
must elect whether the services of
the railroads shrill be adequately com
pensated or not; and It requires .no
fortune teller or soothsayer to predict
,n It. I.m ..n tlm Arvl- will
I take the class tliut Is paid for and no
belter.
