Dear Sir:
In June 1911 we presented claims
for reparation for shippers OF La
mar. Colo. under order No. 1900
after the claims being held
up all the remainder OF the year.
we are now in receipt of advice
from the A. T. & S. F. Ry. that
Lamar is not considered by them
as being covered by the commits
sion's order No. 1900.
Had the Santa Fe complied with
the order OF the commission; No.
951. and had the rates to Colorado
common points been reduced July
LIST, 1909. as per order of the COM
the rates at Lamar would
have been reduced likewise, and
they would have been saved the
difference between the old rate
and the rate which finally became
effective when the railroad finally
complied with the order of the
and the Santa Fe
should not through its failure to
comply with the order OF the COM
mission in the first instance re-
ceive any benefit therefrom. Had
the Santa Fe complied with the or
der, the rates from Chicago and
st. Louis rate points would have
been reduced at Lamar, and La
from the delay of the carriers in
mar shippers should not suffer
the proper reductions. The
old rates on third and fourth
class were the same as Colorado

ELECTRIC co. FILES SUIT
Milwaukee Public Service Company
Wants Decision Reducing Fares
Set Aside by Court.

Madison-Four suits were begun
in circuit court for Dane county by
the Milwaukee Electric Railway and
Light company against the railroad
commission to set aside the recent
order of the commission reducing
rates on the four divisions of the
complainant company and imposing
other regulations.
The complainant prays that the
order be set aside and vacated, al
leging that its requirements impose
an unfair burden. Inssupport of the
allegation it is set forth that the re-
duction of fares resulting from the
order will reduce the revenues of
the company by $171,7O0 per year.
Pending the hearing of the case
the company asks the court to grant
a temporary injunction restraining
the enforcement of the order until
after the determination of the suits.

|DlRTz CASES DISMISSED
rose Of Family Freed of Charges Of
Assault on Request of District
Attorney Williams.

Eau Claire.-The case of the state
of Wisconsin, against Hattie, Clar-
ence, Leslie and Elmyra Deitz was
dismissed in circuit court on motion
of District Attorney Williams of Saw
yer county. All the defendants were
in court, each accompanied by his
attorney, McKenna, Fond du Lac;
Malone, Beaver Dam, and Naber,
Mayville.
There are four cases. charging as
sault with intent to kill.
The district attorney gives as his
reason for the dismissal of the cases,
the following in substance:
That one of the principal witnesses,
John Rogich, is now in Australia and
another, John Hesse, is profess
sional detective. 1t is believed his
evidence would not have much
weight with the jury.
Hattie Deitz is the wife of John
Deitz, Elmyra at the time of the
trouble was is years old, Leslie was
II and Clarence was 10. John Deitz
was man of strong personality and
liable to use violence when anyone
differed with him and the members
of his family were completely under
his sway.
John Deitz is now in prison for
life The natural feeling in the
minds of the jury would be that he
alone was to blame and he being
punished for this, that would be
enough.
The county board of Sawyer coun,
ty believing the law indicated, ha!
requested the district attorney tC
nolle the case.
John Deitz for some years wa:
defying the law and now is being
amply punished and it is not be
lieved that a jury would row pun
ish his wife and children for theil
participation in that trouble while
under his control and dominance.

Does any first voter realize the null
meaning of American citizenship
To be fullhedged citizen of the
United States. at the entrance to
young manhood, Is one of the greatest
privileges In all the tide of time. No
citizen Of ancient Babylon, or Greece,
or Rome, could claim anything re-
sembling such heritage, in enlighten-
ed freedom, unlimited opportunity,
useful development and the capacity
for real happiness. The young Amer
ican citizen Is the heir of all the ages.
But his priceless heritage carries
with 1t an equal measure Of responsi-
bA2ity. His duties are OF the highest
order ever known to man. To perform
them properly should be his chief con-
Germ at all times. BY this test of eff
cheney will his usefulness be recorded
for this and future generations.
There must needs be two political
parties in our Republican form of gov
eminent But before a young man
joins either party, he should deliber-
ately apply the supreme business
tests to both, viz: Which can give
the best reason for its existence;
which looks to the future with the
greater confidence of benefting the

able and instructive. II he goes into
the record of facts impartially, there
cannot be the shadow of a doubt In
his mind as to which way his duty
may lie. He will find that the Repub-
lican party is a great constructive,
patriotic league. whose upper register
of fame contains the names of most
great Americans who have lived and
wrought during the last ffty-eight
years. He will be reminded that from
Lincoln to Taft, with one single excep-
ton. every president of the United
States has accepted the inspiring Re
publican doctrine. He will learn that
It was under the leadership of the Re
publican party that our Union was
preserved and the stain of slavery
washed forever from the Stars and

started her on her career of destiny;
that the Philippines and Porto Rico
