Cities and Towns to Govern the Cros-
sings.

In an opinion given by the Indiana
Railroad Commission following the
inquiry as to whether engineers or
motormen are required TO stop their
trains or cars at the crossings OF in
.erurban or street railr Dads within
cities and towns, the commission
lolds that it rs the imperative duty
|of the city and town councils that
have personal everyday experie 'ce
and information OF the movement OF
rains in their community to supervise
and control the operation of trains
within their corporate limits. 1t is
cited that this power is given to the
municipal government in the cities
and towns act OF 1905.
1t is pointed out in the opinion that
the Railroad Commission, on the APP
plication OF any railroad company or
on its own motion, may order the use
of safety devices at crossings, but
that the commission may not do this
on its own motion inside the corpor-
ate limits OF cities and towns with
out the consent and approval OF the
local authorities The council, and
not the commission, it is stated, shall
control the operation of trains and
cars within the cities and towns.
In the opinion it is intimated by
the commission that certain recon-
mendations may be made to the next
Legislature in regard to the control
of trains and cars in cities and towns.
This section OF the opinion is as fol-
lows:
what we do determine here is that
for the reasons given, and until the
next meeting of the General Assem-
bly,, when this entire subject-matter
may be made clearer by our recon-
mendations and their enactment, If
the General Assembly shall SO will,
we shall not hold ourselves bound to
apply the criminal statute TO the eros
sing by steam railroads of interurban
railroads in the cities and towns and
to report for prosecution every viola
ton OF its mandate, as we shall UNI
questionably do when crossings are
run outside of the cities and towns"

One hundred foreign laborers, who
use the pick and shovel at the Hoosier
quarries had their wages cut from Is
to IL 1-2 cents an hour The indig-
nant men marched to the machine
shops and had two and one-half in
ches cut from their shovels, to meet
the corresponding reduction in the
wage scale, with the remark, Short
money, short shovels" Whether the
officials appreciate the point is not
known, but the men are using their
abbreviated shovels in the conviction
that they have adjusted matters TO
their own viewpoint of principle. The
result is one OF the most peculiar la
Dor situations ever known in the Bed
ford district.

Mulai Hahd Loses Battle.

Official advices received at Paris,
state that the forces of Mulai Hahd
lost seventy killed at Mogador Nov.
16, when they were defeated by a
band of tribesmen fighting under the
colors of Abdel Aziz.
Later the defeated forces were re-
inforced some distance from the bat
tie field. as the victorious column
was not in sufficient number to pur-
sue the enemy and was in addition
hampered by booty.
The French troops nave admins
tered a sharp lesson to the force OF
Arabs which ambushed a French re-
connoitering party Saturday IN a
gorge near Port Said. They have
ravaged the country, Smelling the vii
lagos, thirty Moors being killed and
many injured. All of the inhabitants
have fled to the mountains.

Money to 60 West and South.

Allotments of per cent. certifl-
Gates of indebtedness are being made
by Secretary Cortelyou. The sub
scriptions. as rapidly as received, will
be distributed as Government depos-
it's among the national banks where
the money will do the most good.
Practically all of it will go to the
West and South.
Offers for the certificates continue
to come in. but bids for the Panama
bonds are falling off. This is ac-
counted for by the fact that upon the
announcement of the proposed issues
the public quickly responded, while it
is the practice of the banks and hnan-
cial syndicates which bid for Govern
ment bonds to hold off with their
bids until the last moment. Until
THE bids are opened on November 80
it will be impossible to ascertain the
amount OF bonds asked FOR in those
now on hand of the prices offered.
1t is presumed. however, that those
which have accumulated are for small
amounts.

Bars Name of Christ from Public
School,

Orders that no hymn nor carol
containing mention of Christ or
Christmas shall henceforth be sung
in the public schools of New York.
were given Wednesday by the board
of education. Following the an
nouncement loud protests were ut
tered in every section of the city.
Emphatic Instructions were given
by Frank r. Rix, general musical d.
rector. to all the teachers under him,
that in no circumstances, during the
approaching Christmsstide particu-
larly, are they to permit pupils to
sing any song that shall contain any
word or phrase which would accent
uate religious significance.
That all sectarian references, which
include the name of Christ and men
ton of Christmas, are being elimin-
a;ed from the song books in use in
the public schools of the city was a
surprising BIT of information which
was disclosed with the announcement
of Mr.. Rix's action of Wednesday.
All the books are now in the hands of
printers for revision.
The decision of the board of edu-
cation to take the radical step re-
suited from the agitation Of year
ago. when a representation of ortho-
dox Jews appeared before the board
and complained that the Christmas
festival as celebrated in the schools
was essentially sectarian At that
time no action was taken.

the honored guest. He told the Gary
people how glad the Hoosier state
was TO welcome them into our midst
Governor Hanly thought it was
worth Dragging about some for a
town to start with sand dunes, scrub
oaks and sloughs. and Is months lat
er to be a hustling, bustling place
with $4,000 people, with plenty more
in sight. He reminded the Gary peo-

Prussian Diet Opens.

The Prussan Diet opened Tuesday
in the White Hall of the palace in
Berlin. Prince Won Buelow. the inn
perial chancellor, in the Emperor
absence, read the speech from the
throne 1t stated that the growth oil
permanent expenditures had increased
the budget by over $25,OOO,OO0. The
chancellor said that deficit is ex-
pected in the current year, owing TO
the increased expenses in the rail-
road administration, and that the gov
eminent would have to resort TO a
loan for extending the railroad sys-
tenn, building new roads, double
tracking of old lines, and for addi-
tional rolling stock. The speech
foreshadows bill authorizing the
government to acquire Polish estates
by condemnation proceeding. under
the law of eminent domain. This
measure, which was actively discuss
ed some months ago, is expected TO
reopen the agitation over the Polish
question in an acute form. The gov
crnment's project has been criticised
by even the leading conservative or
gans. The speech from the throne
expresses the governments convic-
ton that both Houses of the Diet
will give active cooperation in the
settling of this grave national ques-
ton

Thanksgiving-Itsl Source.

The man who has had no sorrow,
into whose life has come no bitter
ness, is hardly the one to speak about
the giving OF thanks. He may be
entirely correct about the duty and
the privilege of praise, but we are in
clined to resent his advice, and TO
say in so many words: Man. why do
you presume TO preach to us about
being thankful-you who have never
felt the pinch of poverty, have never
been sick, have never been called to
follow the body of one dearer than
life itself to the grave? What you
say may be true, but you have not
earned the right TO say it.
But when we turn to the Bible we
are sure that all who there speak of
the duty OF thanksgiving have earned
the right TO say it. David represents
the Old Testament, Paul represents
the New Both have Suffered. Both
knew what it was to 20 down into the
depths, and even while the ere in the
depths to call on ali that has breath
to praise the Lord. What is the se--
ret of it?
The secret of it is that both men
had seen the face of God and knew
from the moment that that face had
been revealed, that all was well-that
no matter how things looked, God
was unchanged in mercy. goodness,
and love. This comes out in Paups
hne saying in his letter to the Ephe-
SLAMS Giving thanks always for all
things unto God and the Father in
the name of our Lord Jesus Christ"
This might be rendered.: Giving
thanks to God even the Father" or
more simply, ito God as Father"
Here is where Paul began. This is
how he came to speak, and to prac-
tice the saying, about giving thanks
always for all things-he knew God
that knowledge there was plenty of
zeal in his heart for certain things
he thought Jehovah, Ike God OF the
Hebrew nation, wanted done He
was a fine inquisitor He could search
out the corners of the land for the
disciples of Jesus and hale them to
PRISON But there was no real thanks
giving IN his soul. But when, through
Christ, he got vision of the Fathers
face the springs of true life and true
praise began to flow He knew then
that God was a God of love.
And here is where we must all be-
gin If we would have the real thanks
giving in our souls-the only place
where IL can amount to anything. God
cares not for our words of praise if
they are not inspired by our hearts
devotion He wants our real thanks
giving-wants it very much. And it
would be forthcoming by every man
and woman and child on the round
earth if they would catch something
of the love that is reflected in the face
of Jesus Christine love which ra-
dates fromN God as an atmosphere,
interpreting all his doings and all he
permits to be done-Northwestern

Currency and Capital.

Persons who regard it their special
mission to thoroughly overhaul our
currency system will please bear in
mind that there is quite difference
between currency and capital. Cur
rency may be created by legislation,
but capital is created by different pro-
cesses. Financiers should not lose
sight of this fact.-South Bend Times.

New York, March Counsel for
Harry Thaw has decided to announce
at the opening of court tomorrow that
defense has rested. District Attorney
Jerome will then take up the rebuff
tai.
Jerome's movements in court tomor-
row are problematicaI 1t was ru-
mored tonight that after brief ses-
sion he would ask adjournment until
Monday, during which time he would
mature plans
Among numerous witnesses Jerome
may call in rebuttal are several
alienists who have been studying
Thaw every day since the trial
opened; Howard Nesbit, Mrs Thaw's
brother, and May Mckenzie, her
friend.
Several of Thaw's attorneys visited
him in the Toombs today.
Thaw's lawyers and Thaw himself
appear 10 have more fear of suspen-
sion of the trial in favor of lunacy
commission than verdict by the
present jury and defense is prepared
to fight such move. Lawyer
O'Rielly, of defense, tonight gave out
a long anonymous letter, written a
month ago. defending Thaw's habits
