sion Against the Milwaukee Light,

in cases against the Milwaukee Elec-
trio Railway and Light company and

kee and to adjacent towns.
The order prescribes that thirteen
single fare tickets shall be sold for

ed between Milwaukee and the towns
of West Allis, Wauwatosa and East

for universal double transfer was
dismissed as impracticable as was
the application for reduced fares to
Waukesha.
Officials of the Milwaukee traction
company announce that an appeal
may be taken from the commission's
rulings, but the orders go into effect
regardless of such appeal and remain
unless set aside by the courts.

Fond du Lac.-After lying in a
semi-unconscious condition for
hours, Bishop Charles Chapman
Grafton, well known churchman and
bishop Of Fond du Lac, rallied and
asked to be placed in his wheel
chair, which he has occupied much
of the tine this summer. His condi-

is only question of days. Cable
grams have been sent to relatives
abroad advising them of his condi
ton. Bishop Grafton's turn for the
worse followed steady improvement
covering a period of some weeks,
which had led him to discuss plans
for thanksgiving celebration to be
held in September.

He actually entered into secret cor

What further harm he might have

traitor at a time when America and
liberty needed every true mans aid.
The colonies had long groaned un-
der British oppression. When they
rose against England, in IT'S, it was
less with an idea of breaking loose
from the mother country than of show

argument and appeal had failed. They
simply wished to bring England to her
senses and to obtain relief from in

But soon he and all the rest of the
patriots realized that the time for
must be either dumb submission or
open defiance And, should they choose
defiance, they must free the colonies
wholly from the British yoke and de-
clare our country free and independ-
ent.
1t was to discuss this that the con-
tinental congress met at Philadelphia
In 1775
We are apt to think that congress
was collection of ardent patriots, pant
ing for liberty at any price. This
was not wholly true. While the ma
jority of the delegates were firm in
their resolve to declare for independ-
ence, several of them threatened to
balk at so rash a step.
Nor can they be severely blamed
for hesltating. They were men Of
property and Importance They had
more to lose than had most Ameri-
cans. Should the Revolution fail their
goods would doubtless be seized by
the British government and they them
selves would be hanged. AS Benja.

But, to their eternal credit, these
wary delegates at last yielded to the
