Let US Hope.

Let us hope that the platform re-
Gently adopted at Madison was adopted
in good faith.
Let us hope that the progressive
planks were put there for better pur-
pose than to catch votes.
Let us hope that Mr.. Davidson will
NOT heed the claim that will be made
that he is under obligation to the recent
wreckers of the party.
Let us hope that the incoming legis-
lature viii have the courage and the
wisdom to enact laws along the adj
vanced lines as proposed by the plat
form.
Let us hope that the plank praising
.LaFollette's work in congress will be
taken by the wrecker press as evidence
that LaFollette was not only not de
feated, but that the platform conven-
ton gave him the greatest endorsement
ever given to a public man in the state
of Wisconsin.
Let US hope that the people of the
state will endorse the plank in the plat
form praising LaFollette's work in the
senate and that Senator Spooner will
take it as an order to Ego also and do
likewise.
Let US hope that the anti-LaFollette
press will be honest on the platform
that was accepted by their favorites
and that when we elect another sena-
tor. insist that he be man who has
endorsed LaFollette's work in the SEN
ate, that is so highly commended in the
platform.
Let us hope that when Senator
Spooner comes out, as he is reported
as preparing to do, to take the stump
for Davidson he will declare himself in
favor of the platform upon which the
governor stands committed.
Let us hope that when Senator
Spooner takes the stump he will say:
''You have approved Senator LaFol-
lette's work in the senate, and as
loyal republican do also. "
Let US hope that as all hands have
parti cipated in making the platform
which endorses all that LaFollette has
campaigned for in the past, that all
cont ention is over and that LaFollette
was right in the past.
Let US hope that as the platform de
clares specifically and unequiyocally for
what LaFollette has mapped out for
the future that he is right now and in
all human probability will be right in
the future.
Let US hope that, as the platform in
dicates that there should never have
been row, there will be peace in the
future.

Turning Hem IS.

A good way to turn even hens on
table linen, ready for hand sewing, is
to put the hemmer attachment on the
sewing machine and run the linen
through, without any thread on the
machine. This turns straight hem
very quickly which is merely folded
back when overland hemming is
done; the orthodox hemming for table
linen.

Is It Sense or NonseuseP

the railway companies nave given
notice that a ruling has been made by
the Interstate Commerce COMMISSION
oivino notice of an order that has been
made that after the first of the new
wear railway advertising will have to
be paid for in cash instead of mileage
as heretofore.
Whether or not this ruling is well
founded upon some phrase in the new
law or not. is not for the News to pass
upon. We concede to the Interstate
Commerce Commission both the ability
to interpret the law and correct mo-
tives in doing so. And assuming that
the commissions ruling is we'll founded,
we concede to congress the insertion OF
a damphool section into the rate law.
What sense is there in requiring a
railroad company to pay cash to pub
Usher and that publisher to pay cash to
railway company?
Or suppose job printer wants $50
mileage book and prefers to furnish ten
thousand envelopes to paying $25 IN
money. Where lies the province of the
legislature, national or state, to inter-
fere in the freedom Of this contract?
Why does the congress pass laws to
regulate the operations of such instltu-
tons as the railways? Simply because
the public interest is involved in the
question of how the advertising ac-
counts are kept?
If mileage is issued to influence the
editorial action of newspapers, which
in some cases may be true, to require
cash payment would be Of no avail.
That influence would be against public
interest and proper matter for legis-
lation. But the advertising involved
is merely publicity as to opportunities,
excursions, time tables and other IN
formation of interest to the public.
Newspaper men receive their pay IN
travelling. Doubtless they travel more
than they would if on a strictly cash
basis. but such travel results in in
creased editorial capacity and better
newspapers, more value to the reading
public.
Why should congress interfere?
1t is easy to see that passes should
not be given to anyone as gifts. 1t is
equally easy to see that mileage should
not be given to legislators as gifts. or
on some preteXt, or to judges or any
one in public sereice whose official du-
ties or province bears latitude permit
ing special favors to the railways. But
exchange of mileage for advertising or
job of carpenter or mason work, or
any of many industrial services, is a
matter upon which there would appear
little excuse for legislation.
The effect will doubtless be less adj
vertising, less information to the pub
lie, fewer excursion rates, more diff
Guilty in organizing conventions and
public occasions, less travel by editors
and less efficient newspapers. 1t will
perhaps not effect materially the rail

No Franchise

The Chesapeake and Poto mac Teie-
phone Company and the Martinsburg
and Winchester Turnpike company
have failed 10 get together on terms
franchise for the c. d p Company
to run line on the pike The people
living about Inwood and through that
section have built local system and
await connection with the G. Il p, and
the demand is strong and urgent upon
the part of the people who have
their money invested in the Inwood
Rural company. The pike company
say they were applied to last Nov for
the franchise but the matter was not
urged but lay dormant until last week
when they were asked to meet and tn Ike
action on the matter, that the G.. Il +.
company, which is really the Bell Tel
ephone Company, one the biggest and
most oppressive trusts in the country lis
only plying its old game, of encourng-
ing the organization Of local systems,
interesting people in the building of
ines so the people will make their
fights for them in getting franchises
and concessions, that the small sum of
$500 which they ask for fifteen year
franchise amounts to but $50 year or
less than the price of one phone. They
claim the price is reasonable and just.
The {. d p. people say they APP
piled, both by their superintendent
and their attorney, Fl. III. Emmert last
June and that they have been contin
ually urging the officers to take action
Iongbefore the Inwood local system
was thought of, that some time back
the pike company appointed COM
mittee to look into the matter, that
the proposition was made to the com
mittee of 80 cents per pole for per-
petual franchise but they said their
company would not agree to a perpet-
ual franchise, SO the proposition was
then made of % cents per pole for Is
year which was agreed to and on tina
agreement the G. IL p. proceeded to
distribute poles along the right of way
&c but when the pike board met they
repudiated the agreement Of the com
mittee and have now placed price on
the franchise, $500, which is practical
ly prohibitives. Meanw bile the Inwood
people are clamorous about the connec-
lion and may denounee the action of
the turnpike an outrage.
