fore jury of his peers, and under
the law they should decide whether
he should be punished or not. You
are in no position to know whether or
not the law has been indicated by his
previous conviction and by already
having served part of his sentence.
That is for the courts to decide. | hope
that in the future the people of his
county, know you are good people,
that you want to do right-but you
never know when You may be in the
same position that girl was, and the
man on the other side may be a man
of strong influence, man of wealth,
and he may set in motion influences
that may cause the case to be chloro-
formed; and that is wrong: 1t is the
duty of the judges and of the district
attorneys-they are your law enforc-
ing officers and if you can't get pro-
lection from the district attorney and
the judge, then you haven't any pro-
lection; and just the minute that your
rights are violated, you look to the
public officers to protect your rights;
that is your only haven of protection;
and if they yield to any public senti-
ment or set Of men. then you haven't
any protection at ALL I am sorry that
that was done. And | think that in
one instance, that where one of these
jurors was approached, that that
might have been a contempt Of court;
the court protects itself. I know that
the feeling that prompted this petit
tion was perhaps that the defendant
had suffered enough; yet you must
not put such obstacles in the way
of your public officers"
Attorney Makes Statement
After Judge Quinlan had made his
statement, Attorney w G. Evenson
for the defense then addressed the
court and stated he had nothing to- do
with the matter. Both Attorneys OAR
row and Baker had left Baraboo.
The Judge then asked Barber if he
had anything to say before passing
sentence.
He replied that he had nothing to
say.
Attorney Evenson then asked that
his client be dismissed
Attorney Bohn for the state then
stated he thought that Barber should
pay for his Witnesses since his side of
the case had been extravagant in sum-
mening them. He also asked that Bar
Der be. paroled as it was useless to
keep him in Jail for six months
Attorney Evenson said they had
not been extravagant.
Judge Quin1an then said that in
the former trial an unsecessary at
tack had been made on the character
of the complaining witness, which had
added insult to injury. She was of
good reputation and he no drhbtl
thought the course pursued had re
suited in long sentence being passed
on Barber. However. the court con-
tinued, in view of the fact that the
defendant had been in jail, in view of
the fact he had served over thirteen
months at Waupun, and in view Of the
fact he had been of good reputation
before the event in question, he
would limit the sentence to six
months in Jail. Further, he said, in
view of the fact that a county Jail

will and cooperation of its custo-
mers. To obtain these, it must be in

to render a good quality Of service.
To render this kind of service it must
have the necessary facilities and
these facilities must be kept in a

that each public service company
must collect and possess for use a
sufficient amount to not only MAIN

but an additional amount to replace
worn units or facilities when their
usefulness has become impaired or
at an end-another way of stating
that each company must be permitted
to adequately provide for deprecia-

In addition to those amounts the

the customer as it is to the company.
Inc company has no place to go for
money except to its customers. If.
because Of impaired credit, a partic-
ular company is unable to obtain nee
essary funds except at an exorbitant
rate OF interest, the customers of that
company must in some way contrib
ute the income necessary to produce
this interest, or else be willing to ac-

more or less useless facilities.
Under normal conditions. the COM

in good standing saves in interest
charges or in discount upon the sale
of its securities a considerable sum

the customers, hence it is of advant-
age to each customer to have the
company serving him in such a fl
nancial condition that that part of
the operating expense which repre
sents interest charges is as low as
possible. 1t is also a fact that the

ST ATE HOUSE
Governor and Council Now Holding Daily Sessions

The members of the Maine Public
Utilities Commission, Benz. +.
cleayes of Biddeford, Herbert W.
Traitor of Fort Fairfield and Albert
Greenlaw of PASSPORT in their annual
report which has been filed with the
Governor and Council, say that II
they were asked to call attention to
any single matter which had the most
effect upon the largest number of
people, they should of course men
ton the increase in rates which a
very large number of public utility
companies have put into effect.
TT is no longer necessary to call
attention to the reasons for these in
creases," says the commissioners.
Not only has the purchasing power
Of the dollar of the public service COM
pany been diminished, but each such
company has been required to expend
in operating expenses an almost un-
believable number of those depre-
ctated dollars in excess of the num-
Der that was required few years
ago." continues the report.
Tho part which this commission
has been obliged to pay in the mat
ter Of these increases has been such
as to subject the members to criti-
cismL Whether this criticism has
been in any case justified or not is a
subject for present discussion. We
have not hesitated to authorize and
require increases which to us seemed
necessary. In many instances we
have granted lesser increase than
that sought. and in some instances
have refused to allow any increase
We believe that the general public is
much better informed as to the JUS
tice and necessity of the increases
made than was this same public few
years ago.
What each customer most desires
is the quality and kind OF service
which fits his desires and needs
While the price he pays cannot be
said to be of no consequence, it is,
nevertheless, of secondary considera-
ton. What the public most COM
plains against is the withdrawal of
service in whole or in part, or the
rendering of an inferior or made
Quate quality of service.
To-day the average man under
stands that in order to enable a pub
lie service company to render ade-
quate and dependable service certain
pre- requisite conditions must be met.
