Would See Traffic Associations.

Uniformity of railroad rates was an- other one of the executives themes which IS Of interest to the general pub hc and President Roosevelt advised a pool of traffic associations for the pur- pose of conferring on rates In that connection he continued as follows.
 T desire to repeat my recommenda- ton that railways be permitted to form traffic associations for the purpose of conferring about and agreeing upon rates, regulations, and practices affect ing interstate business in which the members of the association are mu- tually interested. This does not mean that they should be given the right to pool their earnings or their trafFc. The law requires that rates shall be so adjusted as not to discriminate be- tween individuals. localities, or differ ent species of traffic. Ordinarily rates by all competing lines must be the same. As applied to practical conditions. the railway operations of this country can not be conducted according to law without what is equivalent to confer ence and agreement The articles un- der which such associations operate should be approved by the commission: all their operations should be open to public inspection; and the rates rel,tI- lations, and practices upon which they by the commission"

Abuse of the use of the injunction In labor cases provided another theme Is some need for action regarding the rights and wrongs of labor from black said:
 As regards injunctions I can do lit- tle but repeat what I have said in my last message to congress. Even though 1t were possible, I should consider it most unwise to abolish the use of the process Of Injunction. It is necessary in order that the courts may maintain their own dignity and in order that tney may in effective manner check disorder and violence. The judge who uses 1t cautiously and conservattvely but who, when the need arises. uses it fearlessly' confers the greatest ser wee upon our people, and his preemi- nent usefulness as public servant should be heartily recognized But 1t has sometimes been used heedlessly and unjustly and that some of the in functions issued infict grave and oc- eaasionaliy tasn i.r.eparable wrong upon

Ransom

Last week one little matter or an.
other interfered with our reporting
the happenings in this town. At the
present time, however, everything is
very quiet, and there was but little Of
any Importance to report.
On Saturday March 7th, at two
o'clock in the afternoon the electors
of Ransom township will hold a eau.
Gus for the purpose of nominating
candidates for the several town offices
for the coming year. The causus will
be, as usual, at the Center school,
house. '.-'"

Mr.. and Mrs. Emo Miller have the
sincere sympathy of the whole neigh
borhood in the sad bereavement which
has come to them. It is hard to
lose one child, but to lose two
within a few days of each other
is sad indeed. One died on Tuesday
the 18th, and the other on Friday the
2Ist. One boy was little over four
years old, and the other almost six.
Cause of death, scarletina. It was a
severe visitation for the stricken par
ents, and it caused feeling of sad
ness to spread over the whole neigh
borhood. The children were laid side
by side in the Ransom cemetery which
is near to the home where but few
weeks ago the little fellows were JOY
GUS playmates. We hope never to
have to report the like again.
DIR. Dolan OF Worthington was here
the other day. He came on official
business as member of the County
Board of Health, being led to do so
by the reports of the prevalence of
scarletina in the neighborhood. There
has been quite little sickness among
the school children, but, as in all
such cases, the reports all the time
got bigger the further they travelled
from home. With the except of the
two Miller children that died, there
has not been SO far as we know, any
cases in town that were considered at
all serious. The local board of health
are taking all precautions to prevent
the spread of the disease, and it is
thought we shall soon be free from it
altogether.

Brewster.
From the Tribune:

It has been planned for so me time
to make the Brewster school a CON-
plete high school, which would in
volve only little more expense than
we are now under and would require
the addition of only one more grade
to our course, but it appears that
unforeseen obstacles confront us which
make it impossible under the present
circumstances. In a letter from the
state inspector of high schools to G.
R. West, trustee of this district, the
latter is informed that our population
is too small and our property valua'
ton is too low to admit of a high
school here.
Frank Duba left Tuesday for South
Dakota to do carpentering during the
coming season.
The editor of The Tribune has
bought the Golf property on End
Avenue, and will remodel the build
ing into dwelling as soon as the
weather permits. Contractor John
D. Weaver will have charge of the
stupendous undertaking.
Roy Forney loaded his property
here Tuesday for shipment to Prairie
City, Iowa, where he has leased a
farm.

a clean escape Wednesday night or early
Thursday morning. The police were given
fun descriptions Of the stolen goods and
also OF two men who are thought to have
done the work.
Two theories Of how the burglars oper-
ated have been advanced. one setting forth
that entrance was gained to the second
floor OF the place through a rear window.
while the idea OF the owner Of the estab-
ishment is that the burglars came to the
store Wednesday afternoon about 8 O'Clock
as customers. asking the price Of sable
squirrel Jackets, and that instead OF leaving
the place they hid among the stored fur
goods un dark and then got away with
The best specimens Of various kinds OF
