The Milwaukee Free Press and
Senator Hastings are having con-
troversy regarding campaign ex-
penses. Looking at it from an
impartial standpoint it seems only
another one of those cases where it
makes difference who spent tt e
money.
Evidently SENATOR Hastings spent
all the money campaigning that he
could get hold Of, and thought 1T
o, X. while on the other hand he is
horror stricken TO think Stephenson
spent even less amount per capita.
Just SO long as there is large
number of people with their hands
out looking for the: political bosses
money the money will be delivered.
The Press seems to have the best
end Of the argument SO far.
Hastings rests his case on the
grounds Of having spent his money
in amounts of less than $500 and
he need not make detailed report
of such expenditures.

Fate of Pins.

BY series Of experiments con-
Quoted on his estate a French in
vestigator has discovered that pins
60 the way of all flesh and are re
solved into dust. Hairpins which
the experimenter watched for 154
days disappeared at the end of that
time, having been resolved into a
ferrous oxide, a brownish rust,
which was blown away by the wind.
Bright pins took nearly eighteen
months to disappear, polished steel
needles nearly two years and a half ;
brass pins had but little endurance
steel pens at the end of fifteen
months had nearly gone, while their
wooden holders were still intact

There is Rhineland legend Of three
German robbers who, having acquired
by various atrocities what amounted
to very valuable booty, agreed to di-
vide the spoil and to retire from so
dangerous a vocation. When the day
appointed for this purpose arrived one
Of them was dispatched to neighbour
Ing town to purchase provisions for
their last carousal. The other two
secretly agreed to murder him on his
return that they might divide his
share between them. They did so. But
the murdered man was a closer cal
culator even than his assassins, for he
had previously poisoned a part of the
provisions, that he might appropriate
to himself the whole Of the spoil. This
precious triumvirate were found dead
together.

MUCH to the disappointment OF
the friends of the Railroad Com.
mission a majority of the Legis-
lators seem to be in fear of TAX
ing public utility cases out of
com mission hands and settling
them to suit themselves. This
il continued will put things
back where they used to be be-
fore the public utility law was
passed. This would mean that
there would be the same "old
holler' about graft, special pri-
vileges, etc. No matter who
votes to take these matters out
of the Commissioner hands
it will look look pretty much as
though they wanted to fix things
so that few favored ones could
get something for nothing. 1t
is a we'll known fact that many
of the prominent home politi.
clans enjoyed special rates for
water, light and other service in
their home town before the utili.
ty law was in force. We think
they are gl.ieved because they
cannot get the special rates un-
der the public utility-law. With
rates etc. in the hands of the
commission the operator does
not care for the politician for he
can not hold him up.
What ridiculos spectacle the
commission and it's experts
working on rate case for con-
siderable lenght of time looking
into the cost of production and
all other details and then lot
of lawyers politicians farmers
and lum oerjacks stepping in and
deciding the case off hand. Not
one of them can conscientiously
say whether or not the rate was
proper.
Practically every state that has
considered the adoption of q
public utility law has turned tc
Wisconsin for a model. AL
classes who have investigated
the Wisconsin law have come te
the conclusion that the law and
the commission are about as
near ideal as they could be.
1t is probably true that a GER
tain class of promoters and g
few who enjoyed special rates
under the old condition do moi
relish the idea of having justice
done to all.
