patient was removed to the branch hospital,

George w. Norman, coroner of Gibson
county, returns three-column verdict in
the case of Louis Miller, killed by freight
train. He recapitulates the evidence and
finds thus:
At the time of his death said Miller was
in a drunken condition, and was attempting
to board said train while it was in motion;
that his attempt to so board said train was
due to his then drunken condition; that his
said drunken condition was caused by the
drinking of drunk-making liquors furnished
by John Wirtz and Patrick Golden, both of
said Princeton-said Writ and said Golden
each maintaining and operating a saloon
for that purpose at said city by authority of
the license law of the State of Indiana; that
the responsibility for the untimely death of
said Miller rests upon the citizens of the
State of Indiana who framed and author
lied the framing of the said license laws,
and who assent to, authorize and uphold
the operation of said license laws in the
county of Gibson and city of Princeton, and
that said citizens of the State of Indiana,
by their perverted use of the right of Suf
frage are together with their voluntary
agents. the said saloon keepers, guilty of
the killing of the said Louis Miller.
Mr.. Norman evidently believes that it is
his official duty to labor for the cause of
prohibition. Singularly enough, he neglects
to remand the guilty people of Indiana to
the attention of the grand jury.

The suggestion that daily newspapers be
introduced as a special feature or reading
exercise in the public schools seems to
meet with considerable favor from the press
and from some educators. The step is said
to have been decided upon in one or two
cities. 1t is one of doubtful wisdom. The
object of reading exercises in the public
schools is two-fold-first Improvement in
the art Of reading, and second, the acqui-
sition of valuable ideas. Perhaps the first
of these objects could be as we'll attained
by the reading aloud Of newspapers as by
any other class of reading but, with all
due respect for its profession and itself, the
Journal does not believe the second could
1t believes that the habitual reading from
books by the best authors or of choice
passages from such books, including those
which are already recognized as classics
or which are likely to become so, is more
apt to leave in the youthful mind a
residuum of useful knowledge than the
reading of daily newspapers. AS
mary of the days news and events every
issue of a daily newspaper contains more or
less matter of no permanent value and
some that would better be forgotten as soon
as read. 1t is the function of daily news
paper to print such matter, and for OBJ
vious reasons it is not always in the best
form. The haste of preparation and other
limitations prevent newspapers from being
models of style. The best of them cannot
pretend to compete with the classics. Chill
dren will learn to read them soon enough;
in fact, they begin to read them soon
as they begin to take an interest in cur
rent events, but in their school hours they
should be given different sort of diet.

1t was matter of general regret and al
most of national humiliation that a few
months ago a United States war ship had
to be sent to Halifax to be locked. If we
are to maintain navy we must have the
necessary equipments and appurtenances.
The chief of the bureau of naval construc-
ton adverts to the fact in his annual re-
port. Serious inconvenience" he says,
has been experienced during the past six
months through the lack of proper docking
facilities for the first-class battle ships.
Had there been a rupture in the peace re-
lations of this country, what has been an
inconvenience would have become a positive
calamity" The chief constructor recon-
mends the establishment of five large addi-
tional docks and thinks mo expense should
be spared in obtaining convenient, efficient.
substantial and economical structures, and
such as can be ready for use within two
years."
