insisted that reticence and inviolate

WORTH OF GOOD WILL

Efforts to appraise the estate of the
late Joseph Pulitzer, late owner of the
New York World and the st. Louis
Post Dispatch are held up, temporar-
lily, because the agents of the state
have found it impossible to ascertain
the worth of what is termed the good
will and prestige Of the two papers.
Which brings to prominence the
query, what is the good will and pres
tige of a newspaper worth? CURLY,
says the Peoria Journal, it is worth
exactly what the proprietor makes it.
He can no more build up good Will
and prestige by deceit and unreliable
ity than he can construct a sky-scTap-
er on a bed of quicksand. Accuracy
and aggressiveness. impartiality and a
keen sense of what is readable must
enter into the running Of a newspa-
per 70 give TO these two great assets
their greatest worth. Calumny never
bred good WILL distorted facts never
nurtured prestige.
Why should the Pulitzer properties
not be hard 10 appraise? For years

scented the best in his profession, a

PARADE ALWAYS WITH US.

The interest felt in the recent pa
rade of woman suffragists at New
York suggests what a factor process
sions are in American life, observes
the Quincy Herald. From the ele-
plants, tigers and calliope in the cir
Gus parade TO the political torchlight,
the procession is the typical Ameri-
can public festival.
Considering that the people have
been parading ever since they were
big enough TO march with a lunch
basket in line for the Sunday school
picnic, it is perhaps singular that
these professions are not more effec-
live. The one idea seems to be big
ness, TO multiply as nearly Infinitely
as possible the marching units, all
dressed about alike. The more tired
the spectator gets, the more success
ful the show.
A parade is really fine art, where
groups are arranged with an eye for
hsrmonies and variety of color. The
big Masonic parades have shown
some conception of professional pos
sibilities also by arranging men in the
form Of squares, triangles and other
symbols.

KILL THIS BILL.

Rock Island, as well as every other
city in Illinois that expects to grow,
Is interested in Womack's senate bill
No. 26S. which is calendared for third
reading in the Illinois state senate.
II is a pernicious piece of legislation
and ought TO be hit so hard that no
legislator of the future would attempt
a Similar move. The bill provides
that no territory may be annexed to
city unless the territory which it
is proposed TO annex contains at least
100 inhabitants.
Just now there are petitions in cir
culation asking for the annexation by
the city of Rock Island of at least
three strips Of territory outside the
municipal limits, none OF which has
100 residents. Unless the Womack
law intervenes,- within a year, it is
expected, these pieces of territory will
| be part OF the city.
Mayor II. NJ. Schriver, alive to the
danger that turks in the Womack bill,
this morning got in touch by telephone
with Rock Islanders now in Springfield
| in connection with the good roads bill
and the Illinois and Michigan canal
appropriation and impressed them
with the necessity of immediate action.
OF course they can be relied upon to
do their part in pointing out to mem
bers of the senate what the Womack
bill would mean to the city of Rock
Island, and to any other city that
expects 70 extend its corporate lines.
Mayor Schriver will also communi.
cate with Senator Landee and Repre-.
sentatives Werts, Campbell and Hart
quist of the Thirty-third district and
request them to protect Rock Island
and the other cities of their district
against the purpose of the WomacB
bill. The bill has not yet been called
up in the house.

RAILROAD TRESpASSERS

tried to walk on the railroads tracks
of England or on the continent of
Europe would soon know the differ
ence. There they keep people off the
railroads, and the tracks are not used
as highways by pedestrians.
The committee suggests that the
proper place to commence teaching
the evils of railroad trespassing is in
the schools. 1t would seem that the
efforts would be worth while. An
average death list of nearly 4,500 a
year, and an average injured list OF
nearly 5000 a year is certainly large
enough to merit some attention
Nearly 10000 persons a year are eth
er killed or injured on the railroads
by getting in the way of the engines or
cars. 1t is appalling. 1t is more than
we're killed in our whole war with
Spain. 1t means dozen regiments OF
soldiers moved down every year. They
are killed piecemeal all over the coun
try, and therefore they do not attract
a great deal Of attention, but the ter
rible aggregate is there in all its hid
eousness and in all its criminal care
lessness.
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1913-05-14

The safety committee" of the Chi
cago & Northwestern railroad has is
sued a circular on the dangers OF tres
passing on railroads. 1t is conclusive
" shown that it is much more danger
Gus to walk on railroad tracks than it
is to ride in railroads trains. The
committee calls the attention of state,
county, city and village authorities to
these dangers. From a report OF an
interstate commerce commission inves-
tigator and statistician they have TAX
en- the following terrible statistics,
in 20 years:
Trespassers killed ............ Sc,
Trespassers injured ......... 9O,646
The committee says that the United
States stands supreme in such death
and injury lists, because the United
States is the only country in the world
where the laws against trespassing on
the railroads are not enforced. In
many places there are no laws for
the punishment of such trespassers.
and where they do have laws no at
tention is paid to them and there is no
effort made to enforce them. All OF
this indictment is true. A man who
