An Editor and His TRANSPORTATION

E. r. Barager, editor Of the Prentice News,
in the last issue of his paper:
The editor Of The News has re-
ceived an anonymous letter this
week asking why be as onsisten6
member of the LaFollette conting-
ent' does not either resign his
offices of police justice and court
commissioner or surrender his rail-
way transportation"
The News seid 5m pays any at
tention to anonymous communica-
ton, but will make an exception in
the present instance, First. the
police justice and court commissions
err does not have to resign; second,
the editor Of the News does not have
to have railroad transportation, and
third, if he has any of the latter it
is under specific con tract with the
railway companies, a contract made
in good faith and which even the
sovereign state of Wisconsin cannot
legally invalidate, the legislature to
the contrary Notwithstanding.
So far as. present ontracts with
the railways are concerned. The
News will expect the companies to
do as agreed, The News will do the
same, and if the police justice and
court commissioner sees fit to make
use of advertising mileage issued to
him under these contracts. pay
ment for which has been made in
good faith, he will do so without
hesitation and let the supreme court
decide as to hrs rights in the pre-
mise.
II this reply is not conclusive
enough, if the cowardly wretch who
is the author OF the communication
at hand will make his identy known
The News will endeavor to satisfy
the public at least, as to the honesty
of his inquiry.

Several million feet of valuable
timber lands have recently been ac-

OF Bayfield, will be stocked for work
continuing over period IF several
years. These mills have been oper-
ated ntermittently on account of a
shortage of timber the last three or
four years, and the news that they

time has been received with much
pleasure by the business Interests

feared would cause stagnation OF
