ADOPT new MARKERS
FOR RAIL CROSSINGS;
TO USE STEEL DISKS

INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 13.-The pub
lie service commission today adopted
specifications for the new railroad
crossing signs required by a new law
to be erected at each railroad crossing
in the state. Disks constituting the
principal part of the signs are to be
made in the State Prison pursuant to
law. The commission will open bids
August 20. at l p. M. for galvanized
posts to support the disks. The law
requires the commission to fix a date
when the signs shall have been placed
at every crossing.
Ordinary crossings will be marked
by two steel disks twenty-four inches
across and bearing the black letters
r r on a white circular field quar-
tered by black lines and surrounded
by a black circle. When more than
one crossing is to be marked at a
single place there will be suspended
below the disks rectangular signs,
Multiple Crossing"
The signs must be erected 300 feet
from the crossings and must be seven
and one-half feet above the road level.
The total cost has been estimated at
approximately $250,000 Counties will
bear the expense of the cost of the
signs and railroad companies will bear
the expense of transportation and set
ting Approximately 10000 signs will
be required. Some crossings will
need more than the two signs.
The state commission will ascertain
the locations and will direct the plac-
ing OF the signs. They are required
IN addition to all signs now used.
Owing to the financial condition of
railroads, the commission does not in
tend to take considerable time in
carrying out the law, A B. Cronk.

What is a Commercialized Newspaper?

The Chicago Tribune, attacked by Gov Small
of Illinois as being a commercialized newspaper,
presents editoriay the function of a modern
newspaper in these words:
"The Tribune is commercialzed newspaper.
1t is engaged in making and selling commodity.
1t converts wood into paper and the paper into =
newspaper which people buy because they want
the commodity. 1t is sold at fixed price and
has no secret rates or rebates 1t is conducted
as straightforward business proposition.
1T is dependent entirely upon its purchasers
for its existence, as is the case with every hon
est industry. If it did not produce the commod-
ity which the people want it could not exist. 1t
has no subsidies or any source of revenue which
does not come from the sale of the newspaper
commodity.
TT collects news from all parts of the world
and endeavors to present that news as news. 1t
does not withhold news and it does not knowingly
print false statements. The statement in which
Mr. Small imputed dishonorable motives to every

Ripping Rhymes
PRETENDING.
BY WALT MASON

Oh, let's pretend we're joyous. and
chortle and seem gay, though many
things annoy us and bore us day by
day: for men with sullen faces are
lemons, everywhere; they fill our
dwelling places with grief and gloom
and care How often in the morning
we rise from restful maps, with balny
smiles adjoining our chaste and chip
per maps. The old world seems a
daisy, we chirp a cheerful note, and
all our woes seem hazy and dream
like and remote. We're glad we are
existing, we gambol and we sing,
while voting and visiting that life's
a gladstone thing. And then the
crouch approaches, fresh risen from
the hay; no thought of glee he
breaches, no topic blithe and gay. He
doesn't sing or scamper. or raise 4
iovful sound. and he's dismal damper
on everyone around He suffers from
the willies: he huns no cheer-up
tune: he overlooks the lilies to talk
of rnusty prunes. His fantods are
CONTAGIOUS, our gladness dies away,
we think the world outrageous, and
strike for higher pay And thus one
grouchy dufter can make our joy take
wing. and make us sigh and suffer,
where we should smile and sing.

gladness shone within. The afternoon
was an ideal one of bright sunshine.
Basket dinners were served in the
dining room at noon. Thanks were
returned by Mr. E. r. Taylor, of Ash
Arbor. The main features of the day
were old-time talks and social chats
and social times. Mr.. John NJ. LaFuze

Small had the use of the newspaper 1t is the
only way he can reach large numbers of people
with his statement and it was open to him be-
cause as commercalized newspaper The Trib-
une deals in news as a commodity sold to the
people
I'm the editorial columns The Tribune ex-
presses its opinions-not in the news columns
Every reader knows that an editorial is an ex-
preston of opinion with which he may agree or
disagree.
''The purpose of the editorial is to advance
the best interests of the community as the inter
ests are seen in the best judgment of the news
paper. In its advertising columns the newspaper
is market where seller and buyer meet most
easily and conveniently. 1t is the simplest buying
and selling agency known, and it is the object of
the newspaper to keep this market policed, free
from fraud and deception, in the interest of both
buyer and seller That is commercialzed news
paper, and The Tribune is one of the greatest of
them.
THE question is not between Gov. Small and
the newspapers. 1t is between him and the state.
He is indicted on the charge that he embezzled
state money. That is the subject which invites
Mr.. Smalls statements. Did he or didn't he? Is
he an honest man or crin1inally dishonest? He
knows and the state is entitled to find out as it
will try to do in the course of trial"

wealthy English parents, but had no

among the sick and wounded, and
saved untold numbers of lives. At a
dinner given during Queen Victoria's
Jubilee, in honor of the naval and mill
tary officers who served in the
Crimean War, each one was asked to
write the name Of the person whose
service in that camping would be
longest remembered, and each one
wrote the name of Florence Nightin-
