REPEATING RAILROAD RATe HISTORY

After a fight against the combined
railroad power in Wisconsin, politics
which has attracted thru its bitterness
the attention Of the whole country and
after a struggle so strenuous as to
split the republican party in twain
and set UP Il boilers ticket in last
falls election. Governor La Toilette
has triumphed over the railroads His
railroad commission bill has finally
passed the state senate to become a
law and establishes for the state of
Wisconsin tribunal to hear COM
plants Of shippers against the rail-
roads, which tribunal is given power to
AK reasonable rate If it finds an
existing raae unreasonable or discrim-
inatory.
Thus has LII Toilette secured for the
people, Of Wisconsin the very reform
which President Roosevelt has set out
to secure for the people of the whole
United States. His is the same fight
that Larrabee fought and won after
John i. Duncombe, Judge N. NJ. Hub
bard, Runnelss Potter, Strong. Bailey,
planned ami carried out the repeal Of
the "Grang,er laws" and by the aid of
the most powerful lobby ever known in
the history of Iowa legislation substi-
tuted the railway commission bill Of
the Seventeenth general assembly.
The Granger laws enacted by the
Fifteenth general assembly fixed maxi
mum rates fer freight transportation
and the courts had held the restric-
lions valid and the law constitutional
Their repeal was the result of sys-
tematic campaign of discrimination by
railways against Iowa towns, calcu-
lated to render the law obnoxious to
shippers and of herculean efforts on
time the law went into effect. The
legislature Of 1875 met the pleadings Of
the influential committees of the rail-
roads firmly and stood by the people.
Then in 1878 a. new plan Of attack was
inaug,lrated. 1t was determined in
conferences Of the controlling lines in
iowa to appes1 to the large shippers
and the residents Of such sections of
the state where railroads were want
ed. The construction companies an
nounced that no more railroads would
be built while Che '.ruinous restric-
lions" of the obstructive legislation"
OF 1874 existed. Newspapers were sub
sidized pubic meetings called
by railway influence and reso-
lutions passed condemning the
granger laws. The pubi;d was
to be fooled with the belief that
public opinion had veered to a demand

ARE the PREACHERS cARELEsss

Miss Susan Il. Anthony In an ar
ticle supporting divorce, accuses the
clergy of responsibility for many OF
the matrimonial evils out OF which
divorce grows naturally. She says.
The vast majority Of marriages are
performed by them, and the cases are
rare where they make any inquiries as
TO the applicants or refuse to perform
3 the ceremony. or late years there has
been Il furry of reform on the part OF
q few to the. extent of refusing to mar
nv divorced persons, but this Is the
most superficial and inefficient OF
remedies. What an absurdlty, yea,
what a crime, to refuse to marry
man who has been divorced, and then.
without question, to unite 10 pure
woman, one wao has lived u life or Inn
morality and intemperance. Or to de-
cline to perform the ceremony for
divorced woman, and then, without a
aualn1 to bine in wedlock, one who Is
child in years. and often evident
" runaway from home! And yet, 1t
will he noticed that, almost without
exception, the marriages OF the unit
which comes before the court for an
nulment, have been performed by re-
putable ministers.
Common observation will support
Miss Anthony at any rate as to the
ease Of getting married. Few runaway
couples have trouble in finding a cler-
gyman to tie the knot. Should the
minister prove inauisitive the justice
OF the peace is not only ready, but
anxious to exercise his right to join
together those whom only death and
the district judge may put asunder.
An unknown pair coming into town
and announcing their desire to commit
matrimony never fail to find aid and
can always be found to swear to their
fitness and orce the license has been
secured the clergy is usually COM
PLEASANT. a dozen men who never
heard of either candidate will leave
their work I'd witness the ceremony
'.just for tae fun of the Thing We
make a joke Of matrimony in this
country, ana inatrimony is no joke.
The ministry complains that the
marriage laws are in such shape as to
prevent united action on the part OF
the clergy. This is true and the mar
riage laws stand in need of immediate
revision but there seems no bar to in
dividual caution. There is really no
more reason why a minister, a justice
Of the peace, Or any other empowered |
to perform the marriage ceremony
should marry all who ask them, that
they SHOULD endorse checks for un-
known applicants except that there is
q fee in one case and chance of loss
in. the other.
# Miss Anthony has rung the bell. 1t
is up to those who have the power to
refuse to marry without inquiry all
who apply for their services.

Mrs. George House, who has been visiting in San Bernardlno since the latter part of May returned to the Valley last week. She came out to Silsbee last Sunday and took look at her home, but as the overflow still covers it all she returned to Imperial to await it's further subsistence:
 Silsbee people who were abroad at an early hour last Thursday morning were treated to good view of genuine air ship which passed over, sailing in an easterly direction. Tie ship appeared to be about one hundred feet long. was operated with wings and carried a powerful searchlight. It was seen by a number of people.
 MT. Andy Elliott and family, after making an unsuccessful effort to get across New River at Brawley, working on the ferry boat that was built there and then being disappointed in their hopes of crossing, by seeing it swept away by the swift current, made the crossing at Calexico last week and pro- ceeded on their way to Campo and the coast, we presume, in rejoicing frame of mind.
The Imperial press., 1905-08-12

The farmers of the Silsbee neighbor- hood are rejoiced to see the overflow declining. Also that the myriads of bugs which were bred in the water and whose flying about at night has become such nuisance, is decreasing too, and we hope will soon be a thing of the past:
 ME. Wilson was treated to quite a pleasant surprise last Sunday. A jolly crowd of young people called on him after Sunday School and spent most enjoyable afternoon. The fame of Mir. Wilson's watermelons is now well estab- lished, for his jolly visitors did ample justice to: them.
 MT. Orrick, who made such a strenu- ous effort to get across New river to- go to San Diego, and who later had the misfortune to lose all his household belongings by the burning of his wagon while loaded with said goods, is now employed on the Eastside. He made a visit home last Sunday.
The Imperial press., 1905-08-12

The overflow has fallen now until the land is beginning to show in few spots south of the Elder ditch. At the place where Mir. Jones' bridge used to be the water is in the river channel. One of MT Jones' headgates is gone and the bridge that was built on it, so there will be no crossing there even after the overflow subsidies altogether.
 It is reported that the flood waters washed much deeper and wider chan nel to New river northwest from Blue Lake and that considerable damage was done. to some of the farms by the water cutting gullies in them. If the deep ened channel could be carried the entire length of the river it would be a great protection to our farmers in case of future floods
