CROSSING SIGNALS. If a farmer or a teamster or a motorist hould bee on the ro.td.sule, on the top of a tall pole, ;i white disk two feet in diameter with a black cross painted on it, and the letters "It. K." on the horizontal arms of the croys, would he .dt up and take notice? He probably would. And if he didn't realize that the sin indicated a railroad croMn; a hundred yards farther on, he would probably tind it out in time to aoid bein run o e f . uch, at bast, is the rea.onins of two committees, one representing the railroads of the country, and the other representing the public service commissions, which have been trying to solve the problem of making crossings safe. They agree that the present warnings are ineffective, partly because they are too varied anc3 partly because most cf them arc not conspicuous enough. White and black are to replace red as warning colors, except at night. Kven the gates of protected crossings are to b- painted in alternate black and white stripes, because that combination seems to make them more conspicuous than any other. And crossing watchmen are to display big, white disks with a black border and The word "Stop" ;ainted across them in white letters. instead of raising a red or white tlag. If the recommendations of these committees are adopted, as they probably will be. this new, uniform set of warninK snals will he used at every railroad crossing in the United States.

ENGLAND CONSISTENTLY FOOLISH. To the credit of England, she has at least been consistent. Had Koger Casement have committed high treason against the United States the populace would hie hailed him as a hero, and if he were not pens oned, or sent to the United States senate, or elected to somethin;.:, he miuht at bast have rested assured of a tornfort.tbb' living as a matinee idol. This is not saying that Cuinciit should base been executed. The point is that Un-:land did not shoot his co-revolutionists, of whom he was the leader, and the most flagrant traitor from a le.tl and moral standpoint, and then, because he was the leader, and had held high positions under the Uritisii government, let him go free. The purpose is to uistin-uih th incident from some of our American methods of penalizing the puppet at the bottom and placing .i premium on cut-sod ness at the top. Kurland s mistake, of course, began with the conditions that induced th? Irishmen to rewdt. It was further crystallized whn she began the c o art - martializi ng and execution of tho.-e Dublin leaders to whom Ca.-e-ment was in inspiration. The inn Keinders were home patriots at least. Casement, m lime of war between his s'eraign couiury and a hated enemy, had Invoked the as-i.-tarue of that enemy, ijuite as much :m the principle that a resolution in Ireland would be an aid to the enemy, as that the enemy was to assist Ireland. In fat t. evidence was produced at the Casement trial, tending to show that his purpose really was. more to help Cicrmany than to free Ireland. If there was culpability anywhere, it rested more clearly with Iio'-rer Casement, despite his former knighthoods, and high portions in U.nti.-h official life, than with any or all of the others. The "ex-sir" died, from all appearances, and regardless of his dying utterances, in part for Ctcrm.iny. rather than all for Ireland. We are disinclined, however, to approve of capital punishment fr anvone. Ungland could have handled all these Irish patriots cv en though traitors to Dritam . a way, we believe, that would have done her much more good. It vas not necessary to make martyrs of them, .irul Ur.gland lost from the moment th.it she beri an s.nh a program. The executions all the way up from I'ollock to Casement can only serve to enhance Irish resentment to Ur.-ilish rule. Another Uritish tyranny will have to be lived down. Hainan nature is putty mm h the same m Ireland as elsewhere; somewhat the same as anion.-. Kngllshmen. with respect to whom here i.-- a case in point: A w r t t i a "spomlcr.t v rites from northern Franc? that w hen I iritis' h tr-'ops. a'ooat to attack the t.ennan trer.cht s. lit ard of the execution of Capt.

probably responsible, directly, for adding at least a million soldiers to tne Uritifeh army, and for unifying and energizing the british nation. The dern.an battalions are today paying in blood for the stupid execution of Kdith Cave 11. The aftermath of the von Tirpitz naval campaign is to be s-en on every battle front. Any atrocity, whether a-s innovation or retaliation, Is worse than wicked; it is t-tupid. Or perhaps all wickedness Is stup'd. At any rate, on of the chief cause for the present appalling plight of (lermany Is the stupidity of the men who imagined they were protecting her by their deliberate severities. And Irishmen, brooding over the martyrdom of Casement, I'ollock. an. I others, may some day. in similar manner, bring Kngland's seventy home to her. The Sinn I'ienders are not all dead. They are merely using better sense than they used on Laster Sunday; better sense than Casement used in urging on that, and hia nwn fatality. Britain has erred, but erred consistently. The "high-er-up" also got his.

AN a IN TI-HIRE SUGGESTION. Dr. Maynard M. Metcalf. in an article in the Scientific Monthly, makes a proposal regarding fire prevention which is in no Immediate danger of adoption it is too simple, sensible and scientific. The nation is now losing every year by fire more than half the cost of building the Panama canal. Little ieal progress has been made in fighting this peculiarly American evil, because wc have always looked on it as an individual problem rather than a national problem. Most of us are satisfied merely to carry insurance on our property. If a factory or a store or a house burns down, the owner collects his insurance, and then goes ahead and builds another structure pretty much like the one destroyed, and insuzes that. And so it goes on in an endless chain of fire losses and insurance payments. The error in this system lies in the fact that, so far as the community is concerned and therefore as far as the individual himself is concerned in the end the insurance doesn't make up the loss. The tire loss is complete. It is absolute destruction of wealth. All that the insurance policy does is to "pass the hat for the benefit of the individual loser." And the hat is passed around so frequently in the form of insurance premiums, increased rental, etc. that the insured individual himself in the long run more than pas for his own fire loss. U is obviously for the benefit of everybody to cut off this annual drain on the nation's income. Dr. Metcalf simply suggests that we appropriate, for this form of national defense, the amount of one year's tire losses, about $20,000. 000, to eliminate the fire peril for all future years. He would organize a powerful bureau of fire prevention, employing the best chemists, engineers and physicists in the world, providing them with all the facilities they needed, and spending millions to make their recommendations effective just as we are spending millions now for military and naval effectiveness. That would be insurance worth while, because it would presumably eliminate the need of our present costlv insurance system. ...

Old Tariß Could Not Meet Costs Of Preparedness

BILLIONS AND BITTERNESS. It is just another little lesson, sometimes fooled by herself and sometimes by a sillier mother the case of Thelma Stovall. ace 19, residence somewhere out west. The papers say she committed suicide after persistent efforts to make good as a motion picture actress had failed. She left this note: "Just toss mc on the waves. If the day be cloudy and the sea rouuh. so much the better." The movie craze is getting then every day now. Dazzled by the press agent stuff which tills the columns of th papers; lured by the pictu.-es of fame and wealth, and a life of ease they paint, about every other girl aspires to become a Mary 1'ickford. The strange thing is that parents, who would be shocked at the thought of their daughters "going on the stage." encourage them in their ain ambitions to enter the movies. There's a peculiar fascination about it. to young and obi, including, particularly, some theatrical financiers. Few people spending an evening at their favorite moving picture theater realize that the show for which they paid ten or fifteen or twenty-live cents admission represents part of an industry on which over half a billion dollars is spent annually. And yet such is the case. Five hundred and seventy-five millions is what rhe producers of motion pictures spend in a year to produce those pictures. The motion picture industry, although it is not concerned with the necessaries cf life, but simply a popular amusement now ranks fifth among the industries of the United States and ahead of the automobile manufacturing industry. It is surpassed only by the railroad, clothing, iron and steel, and oil industries. It sounds like a lot when you think of the show you have just paid your dime to see. And yet there are

eighteen thousand moving picture theaters in the connI try today, seating anywhere from 100 to :ä00 people. And the average daily attendance throughout the couni try is Jä.L'eO.OuO. That's a beginning, and shows where J the half billion dollars and more come from. Ibat 'dimes and quarters are not all that is spent for "movies." The producers have enormous expenses. 'There are the salaries of the popular stars, who get i $40.000 or $00.000 a ear not to mention Mary I'ickIford and Charles Chaplin, with 'their fabulous salaries

of $ 104.000 and $320.000 a year respecth ely. There arc also many lesser li-hts, actors emploved as "extras"

jwho receive $:i and $" a day. I Studios and plants of the various successful concerns I represent investments of from JC0.000 to $lH00" 1 apiece. Single productions cost hu-e sums, as the ads ifor "Million Hollar 111ms" remind us. ' The motion picture business has grown with astonishing rapidity, and it is still growing at a rate that may jgive it third or fourth place in our leading industries 'soon. It's another sreat American achievement, but , mainly for the producers and operators, rather than the !$:' and $ä a day actresses. I Just one out of every f.fty girls who cet their opportunity In the motion picture game makes really uood. The other fortv-nlne tind themselves up against i , , ; about just the hardest proposition a woman can tackle. ! If ynii, little girl, have the movie craze, pause a moment and ask yourself if odds of r.fty to one against i you looks like a game worth while.

"Mr. Speaker. I cannot asree with my friend from Washington. 31 r. Humphrey, that there is no reason why a republican should vote for this bill." Following this blunt introductory sentence. Rep. James W. Good, of Iowa, republican, in speech in the house Monday, July 10, during the closing hours of debate upon the democratic omnibus revenue bill, gave convincing reasons defying the reactionary leaders of his party and supporting the democratic provision for paying the cost of military preparedness. Thirty-eight other republican and progressive co Tessrr.en. Rep. William Kent, independent; and Hep. Meyer Iyjndon, socialist, joined the democrats in this vote. Mr. Good, therefore, bespoke the views of many of his republican associates in the house. The vote was typical of many prior votes during this and the last congress which showed practical unanimity amen; the democrats on progressive measures and hopeless division between the old-line reactionary republicans on the one hand and the progressives and progressive republicans on the other hand. (i. O. I. Tariff Would liil. Mr. Good pointed out that, if the present demand for military preparedness had come at the beginning of the Taft administration in 1909 and under a republican tariff, there would h.-.-.e been a treasury deficit for the four years of more than $1,tl00.000.00o. Kx.-enditures, including the outlay for preparedness estimated on the cost for this year, would have exceeded the revenues collected during those four yearsincluding returns from president Tafts corporation tax and customs receipts under the Paync-Aldrich tariff by the huge sum. to be exact, of $1.0l'O,077.74S. "Where would we have obtained the money to pay for this increased cost of preparedness'." Mr. Good inquired of Messrs. Mann, Fordney, Moore and the other high-protection and reactionary republican leaders who had vainly attempted to keep the republican side together in opposition to the bill. "Certainly we would not have increased the tariff duties. The defeat of the republican house in 1910 was so universally charged to excessive duties in the Payne law that in 19U in our repub-

i lican platform we said. 'Some of the

existing import duties are too high and should be reduced.' Democratic Tax Nc-csnry. "Where will we ret the money if we do not resort to the very subject of taxation provided for in this bill?" Mr. Good continued. "We have seen that we can not hope to collect it through the customs house by the imposition of protective duties. Are we to overturn the cardinal principle ef protection and enact a tariff law imposing duties on those things we can not produce, such as a duty on coffee and tea? . . . The American people will never consent to a tax on the breakfast table."

( oru)NT sin: uxdhu his n:irr (Ft. Wayne Journal-Gazette). A health survey of Oyster P.ay, L I., has disclosed conditions that are not merely shocking to the senses but appallingly a menace to health. Dirt and filth are the rule and order. The town has no sewers. It is served by open drains. Cesspools, indescribably foul and potentially disease-breeding to an extent scarcely describable, are the receptacles of household filth at most of the better lesidences. In short Oyster Hay is a dirty and insanitary town, conspicuously a reproach to its first citizens and a peril to the lives of everybody. Oyster P.ay is notable only for Sagamore Hill and Sagamore Hill is notable only for Theodore Roosevelt. Oyster Pay is the colonel's "home town." The colonel, it maybe stated without exaggeration, is a busy man. He has vastly concerned himself and docs yet with the material, moral, political and spiritual well-being of all mankind. As a resident of the United States he undertook the chastening of owners of swollen fortunes and malefactions of t,re'at wealth. Four years ago he led a mighty revolt of four million of men and women from an obi and powerful political party. With him at their head they advanced to the battlefield of Armageddon singing "OiiAard Christian. Soldiers." He gave them a high and sacred compact ef political and social reform. It was the new decalogue and through it mankind was to be rege'ierated. The colonel has employed himself for many years telling ether peopl? how they should live, what they should eat and drink, howmany babies there should be to a family and how they should he reared. He has been the proctor and tne monitor of our common life. Hut the colonel could not see Oyster P.ay and its besottedness. He could not smell its malodorousness. He overlooked thousand daily mena es that it laid across the pathway of the goings and comings of its little population. It was all undeT his feet. The most thunderous and pretention. reformer of his times, he discovered no occasion to think that reform, like charity, penerally can find its bst startingplace at home. So it has remained for a smelling-committee to reveal to the world's super-smeller the vast riches of opportunity at his front gate. This is not said in special derogation of Theodore Roosevelt. It is here st t .out because it so signally emphasizes what is pretty general trath. Reformers need distance, i-ersptctive ami an auulcnce. not to

DISTINCTION. The thins which can't be valued by its measurement or weight Is something that we often gTeatly overestimate.

One of the prettiest whimsies Mr. Barrio is the Child that never grew up. and one of the marvels of every ace is the eternal boy that lives in every man.

Life's cares, the dignity tion. the mask of authority ipose tissue are all that

most men from their eternal boyhood. Once give men a chance to discard the artificial restraints of society or official need and the boy breaks out. The love of mature men for fhowy uniforms and marching, the wild, unbridled joy of the baseball fanatic, the impulse that prompts men to follow a brass band, the costly pursuit of fishing and hunting adventures, the call the camp, the sea and the desert are all manifestations of the eternal boy. Get a crowd of men aay from women-folk and not too closely observed by the populace and the boy comes at once to the surface. A gorge of forbidden food, indiscreet athletic competitions, practical jokes, raids upon adjacent farms or stores, tramps to an old swimminghole and the sweetness of roasted sweet corn, purloined if possible v. hat gathering of men in camp or clam picnic has not developed the eternal boy ? Men are mostly hoys in home life. How many men have to be urged by their better halves to their hated tasks of gardening, mowing the lawn or fixing the tire? Howmany are amiable before breakfast? How many will not shyly escape from conjugal authority and go afishing or to the movies? In the main it is a healthy and desirable condition. Skylarking and boyplay help to "knit up the ravel

and others occupying similar positions have come to the conclusion that schools and colleges have fallen down insofar as they have failed to provide the community with an

equipment fitting it to combat the

actual conditions of life. The criti cism narrows down to this; the edu

cational institutions have failed to provide their students with the means of making better livings; they have given culture, mental discipline, knovvledee of philosophy. Greek, Latin, etc., but their service has been too indirect. David Bancroft Johnson, president of the National Education association in an address delivered in New York, expressed the thoughts in this manner; "I believe that co-ordination oi education and life is the big thing that this meeting of the National Education association stands for. At every stage its meetings are bringing out the fact that education mur-t prepare the individual for the duties of his or her environment Th

There are many That seem to believe j some sort of formula for solving jail the ills of every community and every" individual necessary to every I college. They see no good in any j other outlay in work or money that does not bring a return in greater

salaries. "Nothing that is not prac tical" is coming to be the cry of every student entering college and it is this demand that is leading some educators into a search for a magical cure-all and the public schools into no end of fads. It is true, of course, that "education should prepare the individual for the duties of his or her environment," but it is equally true and more important that education should enable the individual to rise above Iiis environment, to create a new and better environment for himself.
