The children had been playing In

and the boy found the rife that had
been carried by his father. 1t had
been packed away in a trunk through
which his mother had been rummaging.
Brandishing it in his hand, he told his
sister that he was a real Indian and
would defend himself. In play the
child ran from him, picking up a toy
cap pistol to carry out the game. He
called to her to stop. She turned and
pretended to plead with him. Then
he raisel the rife, pointed it directly
at her, and pulled the trigger, little

Under the provisions of the new bill
it is expected that the tax from au.

dollars into the good road fund of the
state next year. Wayne county will

Weeds. which the state of Michi-

eradicate. are to be fought by the
Michigan Agricultural college by edu
eating public school students to recog-
nize the noxious plant growths and
aid in killing them.
This campaign of education will be
forwarded under the direction of DR..
f. A. Bessey, head of the department
of botany at NJ. A. c., who has made
preparations for commencement Of
the work.
The botany department is making
up cases OF 100 small bottles, which
will contain the seeds of practically
every weed known in Michigan. These
cases will be forwarded to any school
of the state on request. to enable
instructors to communicate weed in
formation to the students.
1t has been estimated at the college
that weeds cause hundreds of thou
sands OF dollars damage each year
throughout the state, but by properly
educating citizens to know the harm

can be done in the future towards
lessening the loss.

c. L. Glasgow of the state rail-
road commission is making an extern
sive study of grade crossings and he
says that no object engaging the at
tention of the railroad utility or pub
lie service corporations is of more
vital importance to the general pub
lie than the protection of street and
highway crossings.
"The safeguarding of human life is
not to be compared with gain result
ing to our people from rate reduc-
ton, a lowered passenger fare or the
safety of a stock and bond ISSUE"
said Commissioner Glasgow.
This is a great age and great
country. In foreign countries where
life is lived at more moderate rate.
regulations are in force resulting in
an interference TO traffic that our peo-
pie would not tolerate. When this
country was new and the railroads so
necessary to its development and
crossings was freely given by local
authorities as the demands of bust
ness required additional trains and
the population increased and the use
of these crossings greatly multiplied.
The danger to the public increased in
proportion yet in view of the rapid
increase in the value of property, the
expense of constructing crossings 9th
pr than at grade became enormous and
except where insisted upon railroad
companies continued the construction
of the least expensive crossings. The
companies were willing to protect the
public against accident at such cross
| ings by installing bells or gates or by
stationing flagmen, but human judg-
ment and mechanical devices fail and
the slaughter Of humanity continues.
"The general public are by no
means exempt from criticism as
! shown by the annual reports of the
interstate commerce commission con-
tanning statistics showing the num-
Der of people killed at crossings by
carelessly using the right of way of
the railroad as a public thoroughfare.
1T is therefore apparent that i'm
| patient insistent Americans refuse
to be restrained in their mad rush,
either by fagmen or mechanical de-
vices and it is up to use 10 devise
and suggest such reasonable condi-
tons as will protect the wild auto
mobile driver, the careless pedestrian
and the thoughtless child from injury
or destruction by railroad trains at
crossings. While it must be conceded
that the several devices now in use
are a great aid, it must also be as
freely conceded that in order to prop
erly and entirely remove the danger
at least within the corporate limits
of cities and villages where there is
any great amount Of traffic, the grade
at such crossings should be separated.
This involves considerable expense
and as the public share in the benefits
they also should share In the expense
! Different states have placed the au-
thority to order such separation of
grades and the apportioning OF the
! expense in the hands Of different au-
| thorities and many states have failed
to take any action whatever. believe
that the laws in the several state
relative to this subject should be uni
! FORM"
In all probability the matter OF
grade crossings will be taken up for
consideration by the next legislature.
If an attempt is made 10 force some
of the railroad companies into line a
bitter battle may be expected in the
state capitol.
