QUITE OBL|G|NG
VAS THE TRAMP

Two bobos arrived at Spring Green
last week and while one of them was
strolling down the street enjoying the
scenery, his eyes fell upon ten dollar
gold piece in the hand of little Carl
Yonker.
"Where are you going with all that
money!" said the tramp.
ITO the bank to get some change
replied truthful Carl.
"Oh, Ho," and the stranger gave a
soft whistle.
The boy looked expectantly.
"Now," said the stranger, 'just lie
me see the coin" and with this re-
quest the youth handed over the gold.
beautiful CON-" said the tramp.
ST will get it changed for you. Now
stand right here while 1 go into this
saloon and bring out the silver"
For few minutes CARL stood very
quiet Then he began to wonder
what had become of his obllgiDg
friend and the precious ten dollars
The youth is employed by John w.
Zangel and soon the loss was made
known to him, the boys father and
the village marshall. Not long after a
stranger was found hiding in box
car and was brought before Justice
Hathaway who ordered him to the
Jail at Baraboo. The stranger gave
his name as John Rathburn and when
arrested the coin was not found. It
is believed friend of his made good
his escapes with the money. After
Rathburn was given hearing before
the Justice he was brought to Baraboo
bv the marshall and is now in Jail.

ANOTHER CONGRESSMAN FOR LEE.

Frank o. Smith, Congressman-elect from the Fifth
Maryland district has publicly declared himself for
Blair Lee for the Senatorshp for the short term.
Mr.. Smith was elected last fall as Democrat, from
district nat has for twenty years been Republican,
and he gives to the progressive policies and ac-
oompishments of Blair Lee the largest credit for
efecting the change of sentiment that made Demo-
cratic victory possible in the Fifth district
Congressman Lewis of the Sixth, who likewise
has brought a longtime Republican district under
the Democratic banner, has similarly declared fol
Lee and ascribed to his advanced program large
responsibility for the rehabilitation of Maryland
Democracy.
1t looks if sawmi craftsmanship were in the
way Of getting some hard jots. Latter-day develop
ments suggest decidedly that Lee is destined to be
an overwhelming winner. The sawmill partnership
has looked to its ally, the Montgomery county
machine, to save it by defeating Lee at home. But
the Montgomery machine will think several more
times before taking irreyocably the position of the
dog in the manger. 1t will finally decide that its
own interest lies in acquiescing cheerfully as
possible in the purpose of Montgomery county vot-
ers to support Lee. If it doesn't acquiesce, the
voters will do the acquiescing without its assent.

BALTIMORE PROGRESSES; WASHING.
TON?

Marylands public service commission after de-
tailed investigation has ordered the price of gas
reduced on July | next from 80 to 80 cents, and 81
electricity from 10 to l-2.
The gas and electric company has promptly given
notice of assent, but the counsel for the public has
indicated purpose to appeal. The fight was made
for 7o-cent gas, and the compromise at 80 is not
fully convincing.
Company, who are this day engaged in fight for
control of their corporation and its policy toward the
price, observe what took place.
Immediately after the announcement of reduc-
tioH, the price of shares in the Baltimore Consoli-
dated Company went up several points!
That's exactly what happens when issues Of this
sort are determined in proper, orderly, judicial
fashion The public service is conservator of the
investors quite much of the publics interest.
Consolidated Gas in New York has had the same
experience; Bay State Gas in Boston duplicates New
Yorks; and Washington would give another demon
stration of the same universal fact if it had the
chance. Settled and stable conditions are essential
to such business and these, together with fair treat
ment and judgment on all the facts assured when
a proper public service commission is supervising
public utilities
Will not the franchsed service corporations of
this town some day awaken to the fact that this is
fhe twentieth century, and serve their own, as well
rs the ciys interest, by turning in and sincerely
helping to get public service measure passed for
this town?
Will not the House Committee on District Affairs
redeem ITSELF even if tardily, by doing the plain
duty Of passing the bill it has held up so long?

hicks and lot of rust on the sword as weapon OF
warfare 1t may be that only seven men were killed
in the Franco-German with swords, as tne
colonel AYERS. We don't know. But the swords use
funess is not in killing men; it is rather as hrs
aid to the darts of Cupid in transHxng the feminine
heart. Think of the execution it has wrought IN this
department of endeavor!
| Again, however, the modest if somewhat unpro'
fessional opinion is avouched, that the sword mas
utilities entirely aside from its decorative functions
on the parade ground, in the drawing room, and n
the inaugural ball. Carrying sword is one OF the
finest trainings in grace, ease, and sodierliness "f
bearing. They teach dancing at West Point and
Annapolis and defend this part of the curriculum on
the ground that it inculcates these qualities. How
much more, then, might these attributes of the SOL
dier be developed, if, instead of banishing it from
his accoutrement he were compelled to wear it al
ways, and to become an adept in walking without
tangling his legs up in it!

THE CASE OF COMMISSIONER CLARK.

The Senators who are responsible for the delay
in the confirmation of Interstate Commerce Com.
missioner E. E. Clark should reconsider
Commissioner Clark is one of the men composing
the new commission which, under the amendments
of 1906 has made railroad regulation really effec-
tive. That Commission has the confidence of the
country to a degree not possessed by any other
branch Of the public service. This is not the time
for campaign to change its personnel. The ship
ping public is entitled to consideration upon that
point and it has declared for the retention of Clark
1t does not appear that anyone proposes that
Commissioner Clark shall be rejected. The delay
in his confirmation is due to the patronage fight be-
tween Democratic and Republican Senators. That
all the members of the Senate expect his confrma-
ton finally is comforting and will give satisfaction to
the country. Meantime, the Interstate Commission
now has six members only, and the important mat
tiers in Commissioner Clark's care are delayed be-
cause his office is vacant.
For six years Commissioner Clark has been in
charge Of the great work for the simpliHcation of
freight tariffs. Much has been accomplished by
him; more remains to be done. He has taken his
part in all of the big work of the Commission.
1t would be the part of craftsmanship for botn
Democratic and Republican Senators to quickly con-
firm this appointment. This would save the Com
mission from embarrassment and delay in its work,
and would assure the public that the Senate does
not place a patronage quarrel above the public
service.

Yet, of her own voiition. with. the
energy born OF BESIDE TO DO FOR

body who was lonely. and In every way
trying to conserve the energy and earn

The very fact Of this rich woman
herself setting an EXAMPLE of not
giving needlessly put a stamp of ep-

no less prosperous friend OF friend

attitude she aud her associates acted
on a theory which became a practice
and promises in the future to save for
the everyday human much that has
been a HARDSHIP In the past.
This is only one instance of the grow
