ROADS TO MAKE
RATE REDUCTIONS
Two and One-half cent Fare
to be Effective in State
by Next Week.

Announcement is made that
the railway companies will
comply with the order Of the
State railway commission re-
ducing the railway passenger
fare in this state to p cents
early next week.
The exact day cannot be
stated as yet for the reason
that at the same time the
order cheapening the fare is
complied with the recon-
mendation of the railway COM
mission for the sale of 500
mile family books for 80 fiat
will also be put in force. It
was the intention that the
whole order should be made
effective next Tuesday, but
the mileage books may not be
ready at that time audit may
be Wednesday or Thursday
before the books are placed
on sale.
The family mileage books
will be good for travel in all
parts of the state and can be
used by any member of the
family.
Although the railways will
obey the decision Of the Wis
consin railway commissioners
without question and there
will be no attempt made to
fight the order In the courts,
it is said that any 2-cent fare
law passed by western state
will be contested in the
courts by the railroads on the
ground that the rate ordered
in the law is confiscatory and
therefore unconstitutional.

The announcement of the

The announcement of the
Daily Progress, newspaper
published at Charlottesville, Vir-
ginia., that it is for Theodore
Roosevelt for third term is
significant. The paper is Demo
cratic, published in a Democra-
tic stronghold at the seat Of the
University founded by Thomas
Jefferson and the greatest and
most conservative educational
center in the South. The editor
Mr., James Fl. Lindsey, was a
member of the recent suffrage
committee Of the Virginia Con-
stitutional convention and in
making this departure as a
Democratic editor proposing a
third term for a Republican
president, he evidently knows
that he will have popular fol-
lowing within his own party.
There is no doubt wide regret
from all quarters that President
Roosevelt is indisposed to serve
another term and this regret is
increasing as it becomes evident
that the program Of reform in
augurated by hin is too great
and too stuboornly resisted to
be carried out by anyone less
popular and less deter mined
than himself within the remain
ing time of his Presidency. 1t
would indeed be a unique event
in our political history to see but
one candidate for the Presiden-
cy with both Democrats and Re-
publicans unanimous for his
election.

A Communication
Editor of the Times

Editor of the Times
| noticed with some interest in
your last is ne that our city officials
had had some more men here look
ing over Sioux River. Now as an
advocate of municipal ownership |
want to ask if we have not wasted
time enough on that Sioux River
business. Everyone who knows
this river knows that there is 40
power there and it is a waste Of the
peoples money to monkey with it.
Ask John Bergstrom, a citizen who
we all know has had experience
building dams at Port Arthur and
other places and also o man who
knows Sioux River and has known
it for many years and he will tell
you that there is no power there.
Ask Joe Riley who lost thousands Of
dollars because he could not get
water enough with two dams to raft
logs downs it years ago. Add to
this that as the brush is cut off the
creek will tend to dry up and as the
land is cultivated it will take moist
ure from the creek and anyone with
half an eye can see that it is vast
ing money fooling with Sioux River
Tt don't look to me as if the pre-
sent officials wanted to build.

A Coffin Swap,

A Texas publisher has in prepare
ton a paper telling why he refused
coffin in exchange for advertising.
There are several reasons why such
an offer should be declined. The
particular coffin might not have been
a good fit for one thing. Besides.
the publisher might have seen no
immediate use for the article. All
the hardships of newspaper career
do not tend appreciably TO shorten
life. Editors and publishers live as
long as their nei ghbors and, despite
the thorny paths they tread. are in.
no hurry to lay down the burden Of
existence,
Pending the time when it would
be needed to enclose the earthly
tenement of soul, coffin would be
of little use in newspaper Office.
1t Is too small for telephone booth
and too big for a waste basket, and
is scarcely shaped for fling-cabi-
net. True, the presence of coffin
in the sanctum might have soften
ing effect on the enraged citizen
who calls to demand retraction, or
the modest advertiser who has
bought six inches of space and ex-
poets column of write-up. But 1t
is doubtful if even for this reason a
publisher would be warranted in
taking coffin in laying for an ad-
vertisement.
A grave objection to the deal is
the possibility OF violating the spirit
if not the letter, of the new rate
law. If the ancient practice of bar
ter is. held to be illegal, the publish
er who accepts collins is as fragrant
an offender against public policy as
he who takes railroad mileage.
