The Commercialized Press.

When people catch up the cry that Ameri-
can newspapers are commercialiEed do they
stop to think what it means? 1t really-means
that our press is able to make it's own living
Would the critics have it otherwise? Would
they wish to see German newspaper conditions
reproduced in the United. States-Stinnes buy
ing in whole string of publications. so as to
use them to promote his own business schemes
In France some newspapers are owned or sup
ported by politicians OF political groups avow-
edly for partisan purposes. Would anybody
think of it as an improvement to have that
practice introduced into this country: The
American way is for newspaper so to build
up its repute for fullness and fairness in print
ing the news, for honesty and public spirit in
advocating good causes, for independence and
integrity in the conduct Of its own affairs, that
it wins confidence and secures the patronage
needed to mike it a going concern. The taunt
Of commercialism is really tribute, 1t means
that the newspapers have demonstrated their
usefulness to the public and have received the
appropriate reward.

The Passing Of River Traffic.

The passing Of river travel means the pass
ing Of an epoch. In the days Of Mark Twsin's
tenure on ths Mississippi, steamboat men were
the aFistocrats Of the middle west, the steam
boat the ultimate in fine transportation. Motor
cars, busses, railroads and Ven airplanes
have stolen traffic. slowly but surely, from the
river. Boats have rotted in dry dock. River
pilots are no longer being made, The once
proud monarch who stood at the wheel of =
river steamboat ia now bound BY restrictions
and rules, laws and regulations that make him
no longer the aristecrat he was. Owners have
ceased building boats. Old hulls are remade
and new superstructures are put on them. The
mad rush OF modern commercial life dictates
everything be shipped by express and freight,
The packet beat is gone, In its place, how
ever, has come the barge canal, unromantic but
PRACTICAL Tow boats. many of them powered
by gasoline motors, take the place of steam
boats. Rock Islanders may expect in future to
see the Mississippi river part of the middle
western waterway system, which by canals
will connect the great lakes with the gulf Of
Mexico. Then the debt owing to the pioneer
riverman will be realized. When large barges
carry slow-ffeight at little cost from the top
Of the nation to the bottom and wharves
again hustle with commercial activity, the day
of the packet boat, not as an institution, but as
leader in river travel, will be remembered
