70 Deliver FREIGHT Promptly.

Probably the hardest fought bill
of the year was that on prompt
freight transportation. The law as
it now stands, after surviving the
struggle in tbs legislative halls, pro-
vides shat the railroads must deliver
goods within time limit. The limit
is definite yet seems to be liberal
enough. The schedule is, from mid
night of the day the freight is re-
ceived: Not over 100 miles ~ hours,
100 to 200 miles 96 hours, over 200
miles 120 hours. The nearest route

MILWA UkEE, Wis, Nov. FEATHER
Decker of St. AnthOny's church says
the authorities Of the Wisconsin indus
trial school discriminate against the
Catholics in that institution in the
matter of religious instruction.
1t is asserted by him and by other
Catholics as we'll, that the rules made
by the superintendent virtually deprive
the Catholics of any religious instruct
ions, and that only allowing them &
sermon once month is practically
training them in the protestant relig-
ion. Catholic children are not allowed
to be prepared for their first COM
munion. to make confession or to be
given communion
1t is urged that the fact that persons
are deprived of liberty is no reason why
they should not have the religious lib
erty guaranteed them by the consti-
tuition.
A bill to provide for the full liberty
of religious instruction of children
committed to state institutions was
introduced in the last legislature and
passed the house, but was left in
committee in the senate. 1t is to be
pushed at the next session.

Was Upheld in His Conclusions Of

SEATTLE, Wash, Nov. 2.-Advo-
Gates of railroad commission, or
search the history of the state of
Washington in vain for a case in which
a private shipper has forced justice in
the matter of railroad rates or service
from a railroad company through the
agencies of the state courts. 1t is in
conceivable to suppose that abuses
have not been perpetrated, but so far
as can be learned there is no instance
in which justice has been secured by
patron except from the railroads
themselves.
Going back before the state was adj
mitted to the union there was such a
case, a case which became famous, not
alone in this state but in the nation as
well, a case in which the court brought
the powerful and arrogant Northern
Pacific railroad to it's knees in humble
submission. The case was entitled The
State of Washington in the relation of
H. Dustin versus the Northern Pacific
Railway Company, and the decision
was rendered by Judge George Turner
and confirmed by the highest tribunal
in the land, the supreme court of the
ITpito6 Statac
The case in question was known far
and wide as the famous Yakima City
depot case. 1t was brought to compel
the railroad company to construct and
maintain depot al Yakima City. and

that promising village in order to make
money for certain of its stockholders
