Every time the closet of your neigh
Dor is!opened little do you strain
your neck to peek, and then afterward
strain your tonguein talking about it?
Do you ever stop to think that some
day tragedy may take up its abode
in your home? Can't you get it into
your head that some day the tongue of
Islander may cut you like a sharpe
sword and the whispers of your neigh
bors be as vinegar on your wounds?
Misfortune and disgrace may have
overtaken your neighbor, but it does
not become you to get on the housetop
and shout it out to the world. You
will not be called upon to pay for nor
answer for any Of the sins of your
neighbor. You have all you can tend
to to pay for your own indiScretionS.
Some day one near and dear to you
may fall-the prison walls may open
to son or the scarlet letter of eternity
blight daughter. When home is
in mourning over tragedy the best
thing you can do is to keepyour mouth
shut unless you can say something that
will come as rift in the clouds.
Then again. you know you may be no
better than your neighbor. The only
difference is that your neighbor was
caught and you, up-to-date have kept
the sunlight away. Be charitable, my
friend, for you know not the day nor
the hour when the blight will appear
in your sacred circle.

The objection in acquiring the fran
chise and rights of the Wisconsin
River improvement Company to pre-
vent the possibility of any conflict of
interests at some later date, for this
association is the oldest improvement
association on the river, and the one
which has made the river a drivable
stream, and its franchises and i'm
proyements given a certain value.
The driving association is also the
posseSsor of certain rights and privi-
leges, and with these all under one
management there is no likelihood of
clash on interests, and in this way
the best interests not alone of the
Wisconsin Valley improvement Com
pany, but of the individual water
power owners, and those who have
logs to drive down the stream will be
best conserved.

WILL ACCEPT
THE NEW RATE
Railroads Will Not Contest the
New Two Cent Fare Law.

The railroads of Wisconsin will &C
cept the two cent fare law without
litigation. The rates will take effect
Aug. Is.
The Northwestern and Milwaukee
roads as well as the Wisconsin Gen.
trail have announced that they would
comply with the new law.
The Northwestern controls the
Omaha and this means that the Oma-
ha will follow the same policy.
AL other Wisconsin roads are in the
habit of taking their cue from the
three big lines, the Northwestern Mil
waukee and Omaha, and none of the
little fellows would be likely TO carry
on war singIe-handed against the new
statute. 1t is expected that the Bur-
lington, the Wisconsin Central and
the 500 will accept the new rates.
Two important roads, the Green Bay
g. Western and the Duluth. South
Shore & Atlantic. not having earnings
of SO, 500 a mile, are not affected by
the law. To competitive points they
will be obliged for business reasons to
make the same rates as the other
roads, but to non-competitive points,
they will continue TO charge the same
rates as heretofore.
