THREE JUDGES DISSENTING
justices Barnes, Winslow and siebeck-
er Of che Supreme Court Fail to Take
view Of Others In Deciding Railway
cases

No definite statement has been made
as vet in regard to the contest be-
tween the Kenosha Electric Railway
company and the Kenosha Gas and
Electric but it is expected that some
new action in court will be taken with
in the next few days. Judge Spauldlng
Of Detroit the president of the Ken
osha Electric Railway company handl-
cd the case in person and he will de-
eide as to what step that company Will
take now. 1t is expected that the
Judge will communicate with the at
tornevs of the company in Kenosha in
q short time Reports from Madison
state that the decision on the case was
not q unanimous one by the court and
that there were three dissenting opin-
ions. This fact has raised new hope
in the breasts Of the local managers OF
the Railway company and they feel
that it is just possible that the case
might be won if taken to the Supreme
court on another proposition. 1t is
possible that working along this line
the attorneys for the Railway company
will seek the right to file an amended
answer to the quo warranto proceed
irgs started by the Kenosha Gas and
Electric company. Attorneys for the
4
Gas company claim that if an amended
answer 4 fled they will not demur TO
the answer but will seek to have the
case tried out on its merits in order to
get final decision of the matter. If
this new answer is filed it will be pos
sible TO continue the case in court for
at least ten months and in this way the
Railway company would be able to con-
Sinue in the lighting business until a
final determination of the case was
made The company under the present
frmed by the Supreme court is re-
strained from doing any work along the
lines of extending the plant or taking
up new customers for commercial light
ing, 1t is not expected that the city
will have any trouble in securing the
addition of new street lights as the at
torneys for the Kenosha Gas and Elec-
trio company in the past have shown
a willingness to allow the company to
extend the street lighting business
without contest.
The decision of the Supreme court
has raised again the question Of Mu-
nicipal lighting and the suggestion is
being made that the plant be sold to
the city if the Supreme court finally
sules that the company can not do
business in Kenosha and the Railroad
Commission refuses to issue certif-
cate of necessity and convenience. Be.
fore this could be done it would be
necessary to submit the proposition TO
the people and special election would
have to be called for this purpose
However it may be more than year
before any suggestion to this effect
would be pertinent and should the rail
way company win out under new an
swer there would be no necessity for
the city taking the plant.

Quoted in accordance with the spirit in
the decision of Judge Morris, IN that the
so or more negroes who were refused
registration two years ago. under the
law which was enacted in 1908, were
allowed to vote. The suit upon which
Judge Morris decision turned was insti-
tuted by William II. Howard and 80
other negroes against the registration of
ficials of the Third ward. Passing upon
the consttutionaity of that act the Fed
eral Judge held that the plaintiffs were
entitled TO action against the registration
officials. From this decision the regis
trars appealed and the case is still pend
ing.
With this ruling staring them in the
face, the registration officials appointed
by the county election supervisors sew
eral weeks ago declined to serve. fear
ing prosecution no matter what proceed
ure that they might adopt, and the
election officials named by the City
Council took similar stand
In the meantime Acknowledgement

spite the existing conditions. So the city

officials Of the New York Custom House.
1t is even said that a very wealthy
banker in New York City was a party to
this fraud.
However, it may be, it remains that
there is a great public demand upon
the present Congress to investigate all of
these corruptons to the very bottom, in
order to inform the public and at the
same time break up this robbery of the
government, for 1t is only a robbery of
the people, for it is their money. After
all how can we expect any other result.
For forty years the government has
been administered upon system OF priv
ilege and graft, which has only been
stealing under the system of law, and
the public has been taught the lesson
that there is no harm in robbing the
people. That Morgan, Carnegie, and
John D. Rockefeller can despoil the peo-
pie OF hundreds of millions Of dollars by
the special privileges granted to them
by the Republican party to tax the people
as much as they please. and they have
done so to the extent of hundreds of
millions of dollass. The Republican
party has thus corrupted the body OF the
people, and Mr.. Taft and Mr.. Roose-
welt were active participants in the coun-
sells of that party, and thereby helped to
teach the people that fearful lesson. The
only thing for an intelligent people to do
now is to drive the Republican party
from power forever, and with it Mr.. Taft
and all of his adherents, and elect a
Democratic President.
