There is and has been the greatest
freight congestion in the east, ever
known in this country, and it is grow
ing worse. Now that the German
submarine has made ship travel and
ship freighting a dangerous business,
there is but little done in exports;
in consequence every side track on
the sea boards is damned full of cars,
with no way of relief for long time.
1t is a deplorable situation. All roads
have, placed an embargo on export
freight and the condition has reached
a very critical stage. Cars have been
sent east by the thousands; they can
not be unloaded and the result is that
for several months industries have
been unable to get enough cars to
move their goods. The railroads are
doing ali in their power to relieve the
situation and will, very soon, so it is
SAID, get things down to normal again
! men who are suffering for want OF
cars should remember that the sub
marine has never figured before in the
movements of our ships upon the sea-
so how could the railroad men of our
country prepare for the emergency?

Hearst is Heard From

William Randolph Hearst usually is
set on hair-trigger and ready TO ex-
plode just for the fun of hearing the
noise, is very annoying when one
wants to drift into dreamland on the
clouds of his pet hobbies, to be ruth
lessly disturbed by bombs like Hearst.
However, he sometimes eXplodes at
the right time when it brings to mind
our glorious Fourth and attendant
outbursts of patriotism. On the sit
uation which is now agitating our
country, Mr.. Hearst has placed him.
self on record as follows:
81 think that the president can be
trusted to maintain his policy of eau
tion, conservatism, wisdom and high
patriotism, especially as that policy
has been overwhelmingly Endorsed by
the people at the polls.
81 think that any thoughtless, heed
less, reckless demagogue can project
nation into war; but only supreme
ly capable, conscientious and essential
" courageous statesman can keep a
nation out of war in these troublouS
times.
81 think that the president fully
realizes that advice from blusterers
like Roosevelt is not either serious or
sincere, and, furthermore, that the
kind of man who plunged the country
into the worst financial panic of a
generation is Just the kind of man
who would advise plunging the
country into the cataclysmof world
/ war.
~ think that the presidents deli.
berate discussion of international
difficulties and differences through a
succession of diplomatic notes has been
the wisest and most statesmanlike
( policy of his career.
"Notes are better than bullets: ink
is cheaper than blood, and if there
had been more writing in Europe
there would have been less fighting.
"Finally, l firmly believe that the
president will bring our beloved
country through this crisis, as he has
brought it through other crisis, with
peace and with honor.

PiIing on the Costs

The state of Wisconsin is certainly
paving the way 70 tax its people to a
degree which is hey md human en-
durance. It is not only piling on the
taxes but it is making it necessary
for those doing an ordinary from
hand to mouth business, 90 hire ex-
pert bookkeepers to keep them from
getting so mixed up that they do not
know whether they are afoot or horse
back. in their attempts to make out
their annual income reports to the
state. Not only have these small
TRADERS been obliged to hire expert
accountants, but it is necessary to
seek the advice of lawyers in order
that the intricate reports may be made
out correctly. They are so complicat-
ed that evena Philadelphia lawyer can
not figure them out satisfactorily. The
. farmer, the small dealer in every de-
partment of trade, the men drawing
salaries above that on which an in
come is required, all have to make
out these reports, give publicity to
every detail of their affairs and be put
to a world of trouble, when they
could, in a sworn statement, in their
own way, give the required informa-
ton to the state as to their income,
in a few moments time. Every com
mission, every man in the employ OF
the state, and generally, every person
holding responsible position, is rack
ing his brain to see how he can ham
per our people, rather than to figure
out a way to lessen his expenses and
to lessen his work
The primary law is an outrage in
some respects. A poor man cannot
run for office under present conditions
as it is necessary for him to conduct
two campaigns, one as expensive as
the other and one has to pass through
as much red tape as if doing the 1901
The complicated laws of the state
under its numerous commissions
makes it necessary to hire an army
of workers to watch that the petty
laws enacted are carried out. One
man comes along and inspects the
workings of a certain law, which takes
9 him perhaps an hour. The next day
another man comes along to inspect
the workings of another law, and so
it goes, when it is believed that good,
level-headed business man can ar
range it so the work can be done by
one-quarter the force.
1t is proposed to pass a law which
will make it unlawful to sell wood
only on a cord basis, or coal unless
it is weighed by city weigher, at per-
haps 10 cents per load. The result
will be that our wood dealers will
charge 80 cents a load for piling up
the wood so it can be measured, and
it is the buyer, in bot cases, who will
have to pay the extra bills. Wood
can easily be measured in the load by
the customer, as he has done for

BETTER LIGHTING CAMPAIGN
INTRODUCING NEW LIGHT
Gas Company Men Calling At Every
House in the City.

"See Easy is the slogan of the
local Gas Company in the aggressive
'sbetter lighting" campaign now be-
ing waged throughout the city. The
result of the campaign SO far has been
that scores of gas users are congratu-
lating themselves upon enjoying in
candescent gas lighting that brings a
remarkable light to all parts of the
room.
This big undertaking of the gas
company is the result of an investiga-
ton of newly invented gas light re-
Gently placed upon the market by the
well known Welsbach Company, the
largest makers of incandescent gas
lights and mantles in the world. The
new light has fittingly been named the
&c E-Z" because it is past question
superior to any artificial light yet
produced.
The lights are now being demon
strated in homes without cost or OBJ
litigation and sold on easy term pay
ments.
1--WE are bringing the &C E.Z' Light
to the attention of our customers
says an official of the Gas Company
"because we recognize this light is
fthe most efficient we have yet seen. II
was placed on the market only last
year and so overwhelming was the de
mand in the few cities where it was
introduced that additional factories
had to be constructed by the Welsbacf
company to supply the demand.
"The C E-Z' Light is an incandes
cent gas light built upon an entirely
new principle oflighting and produces
what is known as the esemi-indirect
effect. This is regarded as the best
lighting effect but heretofore it has
never been possible to supply it at g
moderate cost. This method of illum-
ination takes the glare from the light
and produces pleasing, soothing light
in all parts of the room.
"The light can be attached to any
upright fixture without discoloring the
finish or destroying the symmetry
No chimney is needed It isa marve
of simplicity and convenience. 1t Cal
be shut off or turned on instantly b!
pulling chain.
Commanding no less interest thar
the light itself are the &c E-Z' nantes
These are soft as silk before lighting
They can be handled and attached t
the light without danger of breaking
They are about the size of thimbles
and each light has three NANTES
which burn evenly, without blacken
ling, over long life"
! Over third of a million of these
lights have been installed during the
past year in a few eastern cities where
introduced. The Consolidated Gas
Company of New York disposed OF
135, 900 of these lightsin q few months.
The Public Service Company of New
Jersey, furnishing gas to the district
surrounding Newark, N. j., purchased

The papers, generally of northern
Wisconsin, are looking upon the arti-
cles sent out by the Wisconsin Adj
vancement association, the University

state as an attempt to secure publicity
without paying for it, and are con-
signing them to the waste paper bas-

will accept and publish what is sent
to them by these institutions, just so
long will they continue to be worked

SO far they have given us splendid service,
and the truck has given us much better
service than we anticipated. You may not
be aware of the fact, but the ice cream bust
ness is hard on any kind of vehicle; but
their truck surely has come up to all their
recommendations.
