LET'S ALL TRY IT:— Journalism like other professions is made up of various types and personalities. However, contrary to the general opinion of the laity, the "shyster" types are not in the majority. This fact is well demonstrated in the platform set out recently by a western New York newspaper. This platform published in the paper contains some thoughts applicable not only to the newspaperman, but to a number of other professions as well aud might even be profitable adhered to by the public in general The platform is: "I believe in my job. 1 shall at all times be fair to everyone in my community, expecting frequently to be charged with being unfair. 1 shall not be afraid to champion the poor man s cause for fear of the wrath of the rich man. Nor shall 1 be afraid to' stand by the rich man for fear of being charged with having sold out to him. I shall respect and honor my profession, believing that it is a high calling.” Any man who will live up to a standard set out in suqh a statement can look the world square in the eyes, whether he fie "rich man. poor man, beggar-man" or newspaperman. General Nelson A. Miles, "boy gen eral" of the Civil war, fell dead yes- . terday while attending the Ringling a circus at Washington. He was eighty- ( | live years old and had been in very p good health. He had entered the cir cus tent and was climbing to a seat t when he toppled over and ti ed in i stantly. When but twenty-five years •» old he was nude a general and put in command of an entire division of | 25.000 men. He made good and at the conclusion of the war continued his career as a soldier and advanced until he became the commanding gen t eral of the United States army.

I RAILROADS WILL SPEND BIG SUM To Buy New Equipment i’o Care For Expected Increase In Business READY TO OPEN SHEPHERD TRIAL Chicago, Muy 16. —Because of the proposed of "increased business -n 1925,” railroads of tfie nation are plan nlng to spend $759.000.000 for now equipment ami other improvements, according to the bureau of economics at the spring convention of the American Railway association it/ session here today. Reports of the convention declar- ( ed' the railroads now are operating “at high efficiency but for inadequate returns." Nevertheless, Ashton was optimistic, pointing out that the first; IS weeks of 1925 brought an increase of 468,817 cars over the corresponding period last year. "While It may be that we may be over optimistic we cannot see any j substantial grounds to support statements we hear occasionally about a decline in business which would justify any change iff Dur estimate,” he said. Regarding the plan for spending $750,000,000, the bureau of economics, explained: This estimate is based on preliminary returns from practically all the class one carriers throughout Ihe United States. Os the $750.000,0011. approximately $110,000,900 represents the amount of authorizations not actually spent when 1921 ended but carried over into the present year." Commenting on increased efficiency n> transportation the report said that improved equipment had resulted in a saving of $388,000,000, or nearly eight per cent, in operating expenses is compared with 1923, although the reduction in freight traffic was only , > 3-4 per cent. o Long Distance Transmission Os Artificial Gas Proposed Indianapolis. Ind., May’ 16. —(United. ?ress.) — Cong distance transmission >f artificial gas will be the next pro-1 gressive step in public utility develop-' neiit. according to T. J. Sprangle. gas superintendent of the Interstate Public Service company. Indiana already is covered with a network of electric transmission lines, aud in the old natural gas days was familiar with long distance gas transmission. As in the case of electricity, it is being found that gas can lie manufactured more economically on a large scale than on a small one. The connection of the cities o' Elkhart and Goshen by a gas transmission line is one of the first moves in the new direction, said Mr. Sprangle. In several parts of the state, old natural gas pipe lines are being used for the transmission between cities of artificial gas, but the Goshen-Blkhart line is perhaps the first line built especially for the transmission of artificial gap. The Interstate Public Service company, operating at Goshen, w 11 buygas manufactured by the Calumet Gas ami Electric company at Elkhart. Together, the two companies have begun the construction of a wrought iron pipe line a distance of ten and one-half miles to connect the two cities. "Consumers of gas are entitled to the best possible service at. the lowest rates, possible,” said Mr. Sprangle. "When one plant produces better gas more economically than ano’htr, there r— — x SUNDAY EXCURSIONS x via Nickel Ulate Road May 3 And Sundays thereafter during Summer Season to Many Points An excellent opportunity for A ONE DAY Ot TING and visit to Relatives and Friends.

j Is no reason why U should not serve the territory of both plants. I "It would be poor business to main- ■' tain an expensive, inefficient plant I when a pipeline from an oconomicaf! I low-cost plant will give better serI vice. For this reason. I predict ihut the time will come when Indiana will > hr as familiar with gas tranamlssfon, i it Is now with the transmission of electricity.” 1 I „ -— Will Eliminate Hazard • At “Death Crossing” 'i Maywootl, Ind., May 16— (United 1 Press)- Immediate measures are to lie taken to eliminate the hazard ut ■ the "death crourlng" of the Terre . Haute and Eastern Traction lines ; here. The crossing has e'aimed four lives i in recent months and several others during the past few years. The latest .fatality was the death of Russell Helienberger. of Camby, this week, when : his truck was demolished by a limit- . ed interurban. | David Matthews, chief railroad inspector for the state public service commission, ordered all motormen to | approach the crossing at a safe speed or come to a hault. i Matthews also directed traction off!-' cials to install safety lights at the

/ Better and Better Dependable ten years ago, and five years ago, and more dependable than ever today, Dodge Brothers Motor Car simply represents the latest phase in a process of continual betterment The first cars Dodge Brothers built established a world-wide reputation. The cars they are building today incorporate the accumulated refinements of those ten intervening years.
