~ ~ say that John will no
doubt endeavor to bull
the market" on Pabst Best, and we do
not know of any one that is better
able to get satisfaction out of the eff
fort than he is.
J.E. Thatcher will also leave at the
same time to attend The National con-
vention. but in view of Eds modesty he
will no doubt feel that he cannot keep
the pace of the average Milwaukeean.
A most excellent program is provid-
ed by the Post of Milwaukee for the
delegates, and no doubt week of
pleasure, as we'll as profit, will be had
by all the delegates in attendance.
Elmer E. Lebo and family leave
about the first of July for a months
stay at Chapman's lake in Northern
Indiana.
On June /, the national association
had in it's treasury $17,O69.3S. There
was a total membership Of 3S.515 and
there was paid out for indemnity dur
ing the month of May, SS,22471, and it
is worthy of note that no indemnity
was drawn by any member of Post c
during the month of May.
1t is with pleasure that we note that
the city council of Richmond has ap-
proved the agreement entered into
between the board of public works OF
our city and the Terre Haute, Indian
apolis and Eastern Traction company,
whereby the right Of freight service is
restored. We sincerely trust that at
a very early date freight cars will be
running in and out of Richmond again
to give the shippers what they badly
WAINWRIGHT service.
Lots of credit for the accomplishment
of the settlement of the difficulties be-
tween the city and interurban company
must be given to the committee from
the T. P. A. and the Commercial club,
and Post c is glad to say that the COM
mittee appointed by the Post took the
initiative steps that led to the settle
men of the difficulties. The excellent
work of Adam H. Bartel and John Y.
Poundstone of T. P. A. committee and
Edgar NJ Haas of The Commercial
club committee and Henry Deuker
chairman of the Franchise committee
of the City Council cannot be COM
mended too highly, as these gentlemen
certainly showed that they were able
to hustle, and went after what they
wanted, and got it, and got it in way
that was satisfactory to every one.
The shipping interests had hoped
that the council would see fit to grant
the interurban company the right tc
run it's freight cars over its present
lines until the extensions called for ir
the agreement could be built, but as
they do not seem to view the matter
favorably in this light, it is to be
hoped that the interurpan company
will lose no time in building its ex
tensions and give us the freight ser
vice, and we sincerely hope that the
matter will be settled for all time tc
come.
We notice by the report of the secre
tary and treasurer of Post that thu
/ Post has no money to loan at the pres
ent time. 1t is a note worthy fact
that the expenses the last severa
months have been quite heavy, bu
each member can console themselve:
that all money spent was spent judici
| ously and for the betterment of the
Post. We feel that money spent 1:
/ better for the members than having Il
on hands and doing nobody any good
and we do not question but what tn,
Post will be able TO go through thu
year without any additional cost to tn,
membership.
1t is reported that every night afte
the troubles OF his days work is over
