ANCIENT WRIT INVOKED

An interesting case was heard in cir
cult court Monday when Reinhold Ro-
'sinsky sought to get his discharge from
the custody of the sheriff on a writ of
habeas corpus. In divorce proceedings
in circuit court in 1915 Rosinsky was
ordered to pay $40 per month for the
support of his children.
He was later in Municipal court on a
charge of failing to support the child
rem and was put on probation. He vio-
lated his parol and was brought back
and on a plea of guilty was sentenced
to two years at hard labor. He has
since been employed under direction of
the sheriff. As near as a layman can
grasp the legal situation from a casual
hearing of it Rosinsky's attorney, G..
A. Forrest, contends that the prisoner
did not waive preliminary examination
when he pleaded guilty ard that he is
being unlawfully held without having
had a preliminary examination. His
two years would expire next July.
After hearing the habeas corpus mat
ter the court heard another phase of
the tangle, a motion to soften the
terms of the order requiring support
for the children. The court has the
matters under advisement.

new EXPRESS RULES

Steps have been taken by the agent
in charge of the local Office of the
American Railway Express company to
prepare for the new express packing
requirements, which go into effect on
December 10. Under the new regula-
tions all shipments by express weighing
over 25 pounds, must be packed in
wooden containers or cartons of fibre
board, pulp board, or corrugated
strawboard material of specified "test
strength" This means, according to
Mr.. Kimball, that after December 10,
packages over the 25-pound limit will
not be accepted for forwarding by the
American Railway Express company if
only paper wrapped Nor will ordinary
paper boxes, wrapped or unwrapped be
accepted as suitable protection for
heavier shipments. The regulations,
however, do not affect shipments un-
der 25 pounds.

MOTOR COP BUSY

The city new motorcycle policeman
continues to gather in traffic rules vio-
lators. Last week A. McEveney, V.
Hanson, Irwin Wilfert and Carl Car
stems each paid fine for speeding.
Carstens paid S5 extra. on complaint
that his was an aggravated case.
The police gave evidence that they
meant it when they notified the drivers
to slow down passing school grounds.
William Fricke and l.. II. Vetting each
paid $40 and costs for going at more
than lawful speed past school grounds.
ii. c. Gowran of Two Rivers was ac-
cused of speeding and although he as
serted that he speeded only long
enough to pass car that was going
slow ahead of him, and in the middle
of the block, he had to kick in with
the customary "ten and"
Tuesday the court handed out some
severe sentences. Alex Lochman, 90
wear old taxi driver, who was up for
his third time within ten months for
speeding was sentenced to twenty days
in the county Jail and also given 500
fine. He will work for the sheriff for
days, if his behavior is good and will
spend three months more at it if he
can't raise the fine
Carl Genske of Two Rivers, who was
assessed $40 for speeding by Judge
Chloupek in the absence of Judge
Schmidt some time ago faced the court
again and was given $50 set back.
John Mazurek and Lou Wagner
drew the minimum penalty of $40.
The motorcycle method of timing the
speeders is big improvement over
the old practice of clocking them with a
stop watch for block.

CITY COUNCIL NOTES

The council met in regular session
Monday evening. The official minutes
appear on another page.
The council unanimously agreed to
take over the maintenance of the orna-
mental lighting on Eighth ard Wash
ington streets when the property own
er install the clusters.
An ordinance was introduced proyid-
for bond issue of $4,000 for the pur-
chase of cemetery lands.
A new rule will prohibit more than
one monument on any one lot in Ever
green.
The Manitowoc Plating Works was
enioined by the c. & n. W. Ry. Co..
from changing the course of Sherman
Creek where it is erecting a factory
building on Franklin street and it
wants the city to build a culvert for
the creek which will satisfy the railway
people. The Plating people think it is
the city's affair to safeguard the prop
critics from the creek. The matter was
referred.
The Industrial Educational Board of
the city some time ago asked for $l4,-
900 for the year. They now want ST.
500 more. The total is still $1,000 un-
der what the council is compelled un-
der the statutes to allow, and the ST.,
500 was added.
The Manitowoc Products company
had on file a claim of SI12.14 for in
iuries to a truck alleged to have been
caused by a defective highway at the
Little Manitowoc. 1t was referred.
defective" hardly describes that bit
of going. 1t is an atrocity.
The claim of Fred LeMere for dam
ages to an automobile which also were
caused at the Little Manitowoc was de-
MED upon the advice of City Attorney
f.. l.. Kelley. The committee reporting
on the facts said that. the road was
wide enough but that LeMcre lost con-
troll of his car.
The short block of Twelfth street be
tween Franklin and Water was added
to the paving program.
The Traction company will tempor-
arily fill the holes in the North Eighth
street paving with concrete. They have
been unable to get asphalt workers.

KEPT DATE VIA AIR

Mel Olson came up from Milwaukee
yesterday in Curtis airplane and scat
tered some advertising over the city at
noon. His story was that he had an en-
gagement with W. II. Pauly, here at
Manitowoc, that he missed the train,
took the air route and was here an
hour ahead of the train.
The plane landed in a field where
Bowen Morse was blowing on his farm
northwest of the town. Mrs j. A. Rum
mele took ride in the plane in the
afternoon. Some wag called up Motor
Policeman Brown and told him fell
low was going over fifty miles an hour
with the muffler cut out. Brown hur-
ried out but for the first time couldn't
overtake the offender.

TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO

One would think that Macaulay had
foreknowledge Of the political revou-
tion lately effected in this country
when he soliloquized as follows regard
ing the change of sentiment toward
William:
"The enthusiasm with which men of
all classes had welcomed William to
j.. London at Christmas had greatly abat-
ed before the close of February. The
new king had at the very moment at
which his fame and fortune reached
the highest point, predicted the com
ing reaction. That reaction might, in
deed, have been predicted by less
sagacious observer of human affairs
"For it is chiefly ascribed to law
as certain as the laws which regulate
the succession of the seasons and the
course of the trade winds 1t is the
nature of man to oyerrate present evil,
and to underrate present good; to long
for what he has not, and to be dissatis-
fled with what he has This propensity,
as it appears in individuals, has often
been noticed both by laughing and
weeping philosophers. 1t was a favor
ite theme of Horace and of Pascal, of
Noltaire and of Johnson. 70 its infu-
ence on the fate of great communities
may be ascribed most of the revolu-
tions and counter revolutions recorded
in history A hundred generations have
elapsed since the first great national
emancipation, Of which an account has
come down to us. We read in the most
ancient of books that a people bowed
to the dust under a cruel yoke,
scourged to toll by hard taskmasters,
not supplied with straw, yet compelled
to furnish the daily tale of bricks, be
came sick of life and raised such a
cry of misery as pierced the heavens
The slaves were wonderfully set free,
at the moment of their liberation they
raised a song of gratitude and triumph;

gret their slavery, and to murmur
against the leader who had decoyed
them away from the sayory fare of the
house of bondage to the dreary waste
which still separated them from the
land flowing with milk and honey
Since that time the history Of every
great deliverer has been the history Of
| Moses retold. Down to the present houI
reioicings like those on the shores OF
the Red Sea have ever been speedily
| followed by murmurings like those al
the Waters Of Strife. The most jusi
and salutary revolution cannot pro.
duce all the good that had been ex,
pected from il by men of uninstructee
minds and sanguine tempers. Even tn,
wisest cannot, while it is still recent
weigh quite fairly the evils which Il
has caused against the evils which j
has removed. For the evils which II hai
caused are felt; and The evils which il
has removed are felt 10 longer

WHAT EVERYBODY KNOWS
ByJ. T.. JONES

Doubtless there has been a good deal
of grating on the consuming public,
and the prohteers are not confined to
any locality or section of the country.
They are in the manufacturing centerS,
and they wholesale and retail foods.
Thousands Of them are doing pleasant
handshaking acts in the corner store"
and the fellow who wants four dollars
for moving a trunk, or an excessive
sum for fixing the bad boards on the
back porch, is in the same class with
the other gougerS, who because they
are big and powerful, are threatened
by the attorney general
No doubt the government has a
pretty good opportunity to fix ur the
affairs of the railroads, since they
were turned over as "a war emergency
And the Government can properly and
effectively straighten out great many
difficulties in the affairs of the nation.
But the people who expect that the
United States, through its executive, or
legislative branches is going to turn
the precedents of the country upside
down in a night, are doomed to the
same disappointment as the San Fran
ciscans and their supporters, who want
the judicial system revised in order
that one Mooney may get out of Jail
There is no questioning the propri-
ety of the agitation over high prices,
but instead of expecting the govern
mcnt to do everything the country can
well afford to forget price-tixing
schemes, regulated hours Of work, and
rules for getting up and going to bed;
for what everybody knows is; that in
creased production and greater care in
consumption will solve nine-tenths OF
the industrial complaints Of the CON
snmers.

HEARING ON BRIDGE HOURS

The u. S. Engineering department at
Milwaukee has notified the city that
there will be a public hearing at the
city council rooms Saturday morning
on the question of the city instituting
bridge hours. Written or oral state
ments for or against the proposition
are invited by the government.
The city plans to keep the bridges
closed to navigation from 6:3O to in
the morning, from IL: :f5 to 1915 at
noon and from 12;45 to 1:I5 in the
afternoon.
The government has authority over
navigable rivers and its decision OH any
obstruction to navigation is final.
Chicago has had bridge hours for
many ears but there has been a gen
eral belief that the government would
veto the plan for lesser ports.
