hearing yesterday on the charge of
obtaining liquor for the Indian, Char
lie Wells. He was held over for the
fall term of court. Mack preferred
to submit his case to Judge Olson
soon and in all probabilities will plead
guilty and receive his sentence at that
time. Wells was given thirty days
suspended sentence.

with the exceptions of those on the
iron range, were the Great Northern,
Northern Pacific, and the Minneapolis
& st. Louis. Consequently, in con-
GLIDING his opinion, Justice Hughes,
after going over the records submit
ted by Otis to Sanborn, and by the
latter to the highest tribunal, Says in
speaking for the entire latter body,
that on the examinations of estimates
of value and methods of apportion-
ment, that the proof is insufficient to
justify a finding that the rates are
iconfscatory, so far as they relate to
the Great Northern and Northern
Pacific, and consequently the findings
of Sanborn are reversed, with instruc-
lions to dismiss the bill in each case,
without prejudice. In the case of the
Minneapolis & ST. Louis it is found
that the company was not earning a
fair profit, and consequently the rates
are confscatory, and hence that comp
any is permitted to make its charges
as at present.
Roads Must Meet Competition
However, this means that practi-
cally all of the companies in the state,
including the ST. Louis, but not in
GLIDING one or two northern lines, will
adopt the freight and passenger rate
prescribed by the legislature. This
will have to be done in order to meet
competition, and when it is done it
will be found that none of the comp
anies will be injured, but on the other
hand, they will make fair profit.
l am writing all this early, before
the rules laid down in the decisions
are familiar to attorneys, but enough
has been flashed across the wires to
warrant hearty congratulations to
Hon. Edward T. Young, attorney gen.
eral when the cases were commenced,
and who has fought them continuous
ly ever since. General Young, at one
time, was on the verge of being sent
to Jail, for having defied Judge San
born, and the decision indicates that
if he had submitted to failing, he
would have gotten out mighty quick.
Along with him have been associated
Thomas D. O'Brien, one of the big
brain pieces of the state, Marcus D.
Mum, George T. Simpson, and others.
The news is pleasing to them, and to
the people and while the attorneys
have all been well paid, they are still
entitled to the public thanks.

SUFFRAGE AND SUICIDE

The woman who seized King
Georges horse by the bride at Ep-
som Downs is hardly representative
of the militant suffragettes. She
seems to have crossed the uncertain
line which separates fanaticism from
insanity, and though she was ardently
devoted to the suffrage cause it does
not appear that she planned its cam
paigns, or that her own act was und-
ertaken with the advice and consent
of her saner sisters.
But in the mind of the British pub
lie this woman is already tagged as
martial sister and co-worker of Mrs.
Pankhurst; and twenty coroner's jur-
les could not change that popular de-
cision.
Probably no one will make much eff
fort to change it. The militants want
publicity, and this gives it to them in
basketfuls. 1t is welcome variation
from hunger strikes, and smashed
windows, and abortive raids on picture
galleries. Like the cynic who never
advised suicide, but often approved
it, the militants may use this chance
to get as much advertising as possible
for the cause, without sending any
more of their number to jail.-Chica-
go Journal.

the agreement, and that it should be
cast upon the company. The contract
calls for the payment of electric cur
rent delivered at the sub-station and
upon it's face the company can be
chargeable with only such volume
thereof as is actually delivered and
received.
While the contract further calls for
the measurement of the current at a
switchboard to be placed at the sub
station, no provision appears therein
justifying the conclusion that the
parties understood or intended that
this measuring device was to be so
placed that the current would be
measured before entering the trans
formers. Under the contract, prop
erly construed, it should have been so
placed as to measure the actual guam
tity delivered to the company. 1t ap-
pears from the evidence and finds of
the court that it could be placed on
the delivery side of the transformers,
but that the measurement at that
point is attended with extreme dan
gers, not incident to the measure
ment as the current enters the sta
ton.
1t seems clear that the situation
calls for some expressed contract stip-
ulations covering the matter, and the
court cannot well say that the general
custom of measuring from the low
tension side of the station entered in.
to or formed part of the agreement
and understanding of the parties
The record contains no conclusive evi
dence that the parties discussed the
subject of loss of current at the sub
station, at the time of or before the
contract was entered into, and theil
fights must be measured in the ligh
of the rule referred to and the actua
stipulation embodied in the writer
agreement.

DANUBE WINS SUNDAY
North Redwood Game An Interesting
One to Lovers of The Great Am
erican Game

In spite of its defeat Sunday the
North Redwood Nine has proved that
it's good team and is out for good
work. Sundays score is by no means
an indicator of its strength. Under
the able management of Mr.. Struke
the boys are playing real ball.
The Seebeck Brothers as battery
did some very good work, the catcher
winning merited applause when he
went back of the back stop and froze
a foul.
Lindemann at Second was also ex-
ceptionally good and in spite of the
fact that the score was IL to in
favor of Danube the North Redwood
boys are in no ways discouraged.

1t is perfectly possible for great automobile
to carry a vast stock of automobile engines,
frames and chassis with many all of the foregoing
structural and mechanical defects, equip them with
beautifully painted foredoor bodies electric lights
and self starters then pour out hundreds and thous
ands of dollars for grossly exaggerated, seductvey
worded fowery and boastful advertising in the
rent magazines, newspapers and trade Journals and
sell these doped up, out-of-date 1901 designed
machines real 1913 models, sell them by hundreds
to the great American army Of First Timers" and
get away with it.
It is perfectly possible it is being done every day
Of the week right here in Minnesota and all the
country. Ask your neighbor who has owned two or
three different makes of cars. Ask him about the
truth Of these statements.
In conclusion, Mr.. and Mrs. Prospective Buyer we
ask you to take advantage of the REQ Stripped
Chassis Exhibit We have gone to considerable ex-
pense to provide means by which you can get wise
to what really constitutes modern automobile design
and construction.
Examine the REQ Chassis and see how the engine
main bearings on the crank shaft can be adjusted
with socket wrench to take up the wear, without
opening up the crank case; time, five minutes.
Examine the REQ Chassis and see how the trans
mission is carried adjustable tapered roller bear
ing, with the adjustment on the outside.
Examine the REQ Chassis and how the big,
massive, solid "cut integral bevel driving pinon is
carried two tapered timken roller bearings with
convenient adjustment from the outside.
Examine the REQ Chassis and see how the water
from the radiator is circulated by power driven
pump all through the engine, and then back to the
radiator. See the oil pump working off the cam
shaft, forcing shot of clean strained lubricatng
oil right into each main engine bearing at every
olution of the motor.
Examine the REQ Chassis and see how the steer
ing mechanism is formed Of big to ! adjustable
pinion and sector instead of the old time worm and
sector which is inaccessible and uncertain. In the
REQ steering mechanism, the working parts
open and instantly accessible and when there is "too
much play in the steering wheel instead of having
to send the to repair shop to have the lost
tion taken out it is the work of but two minutes to
loosen the jamb nut and tighten up the friction roll
with big screw driver and the job is DONE
Examine the REQ Chassis and how the rear
axle construction is big enough and strong enough
to take of As horse power motor. See how the
weight Of the car is carried two high duty and
two big tapered adjustable tmken roller bearings.
Call on c. d. Thompson, REQ agent at Redwood
Falls and let him show You the that makes good.
