FARE REDUCTIONS.

fAnIs
 Almost coincident with the mention
 in these columns of the suggestion oi contemporaries that the Connecticut
 Company would do well to make a
 voluntary reduction in fares, comes the announcement that as long age as January the directors of that company decided to do this thing. A reduction of 16 per cent, or l 2-3 cents on a ten-cent fare, if tickets or tokens" are purchased three for a quarter, is announced to become ef- fective March l.
 It was suggested here that a troll ley company with vision would seize the opportunity to show some consid- eration for the public and make the attempt to gain public good will be- fore it was compelled to make a re- duction. Evidently the company had that vision" The reduction of one and third cents. however, does not meet the situation in this city by any means.
 Yesterday the Governor heard the special transportation committee of tho common council of New Britain. The reduction already announced was mentioned, but there was apparently no indication what the governor will do about 1t.
 concerning the trolley fare in this city apply today, after this proposed re- duction has been announced, with just as great force as they did last week when the matter was discussed and those arguments stated. A re- duction of one and two-thirds cents will not meet the situation. Neither will the receipts of the trolley, com- pany be swelled appreciably by the adoption of, the new rate, nor will the people be satisfied Adequate receipts and an appeased people are insepar- able. The, receipts will never reach a sum satisfactory to the company until the people are convinced that they are being treated with fairness. The Connecticut company must gain the good will of it's would-be patrons before those ipeople will become pa- irons in fact, unless there should come afime when the state, through the commission, openly refuses to recog- nize the comfort and welfare of the people and forces them to ride in the way they determine whether the peo- pie like it or not.
 The special committee will recom- mend, probably six-cent fare, with no transfers, within radius of two miles of the center This is a con cesson of one cent to the company over the amount popularly believed to be fair, but the committee evidently | wishes to display so great a disposi- ton toward fairness that it may not | be accused of failing to look at the matter from all points ofview.
 This is the situation in this city. People in New Britain are not in a position to judge what would be just in other localities; it would be pre- to do so. It is not presump- tuous to insist that they know, better than others, the situation here and to work unceasingly until that situa- ton is recognized and justice is grant sd.

Four Ozvn Shock
 Absorber .

To absorb the shocks of walking repeated 4.o00 to 5000 times a day,
 for that is the number of steps you take-nature made the foot arch flex- 1 ible. "Tfe imprint of the human foot" writes Dr. Lillian Whitney, shows that only the heel, ball and outer border touch the earth, while the hollow of the foot, that part up- on which the greatest weight rests does not touch the earth at all. Here lies the great elasticity of this won- derfu mechanism
 A flexible, elastic and shock absorb
 ing foot arch calls for a flexible shoe arch. But all ordinary shoes have rigid piece of steel embedded and concealed in the shank
 No wonder that women find the days duties less tiring, less of strain on nerves and muscle, when they wear Cantilever Shoes with flex- ible arches. The Cantilever shank is all-leather, and conceals no hidden metal. Free movement Of the foot elasticity in walking, normal SUD- port to the foot while standing, make Cantilever Shoes the shoes you should wear for standing or walking. They are modish in appearance and won derfully comfortable.

Wisconsin Power Light & Heat Co.,
Wisconsin River Power Company,

part of the state and arrived in Ber-

One important matter discussed
was that of safety to the public in
the stringing of aerial wires by anna
teurs for use in connection with the
radio. 1t was felt that the utilities
should cooperate in every way poss-
ible with those who desire to install
radio outfits and should furnish
assistance and give information that
would mean greater safety to the

Group of Badger Lawyers Move
To Purchase Ancient Court
Building.

Lawyers of Wisconsin have started
movement to purchase the building
in which the territorial court of Wis
consin was held. The old court
building is frame structure built
before 1886 and is now used as a hay
and horse barn at Belmont. The
1917 legislature appropriated $4,000
for the purchase of two acres of
ground and preservation of the first
capitol building. No appropriation
was at that time made for the preser-
vation of the court building. The
supreme court building was adopted
by Chief Justice Dunn as a residence.
1t was in this house that his daugh-
ter, Miss Katie Dunn, married Nell
son Dewey, first governor of Wiscon-
sin as state. After changes of
ownership, the court building became
the residence of C. G. Arthur two
years ago. Mr.. Arthur built a new
residence and moved the court build
ing about hundred feet away.

Make our fair a community

q project which should be of in

active, busy business men of our

Section 3. The said locomotive
must be of such construction and
width as to conform with or run in

able to run backward or turn out of

ascend or descend a grade of at
least two hundred feet to the mile.
The bill was passed and the act
went into effect on March 2, 1875.
Some time afterwards, three inven-
ors of road-wagons claimed the
bounty. If our memory serves us
right, a compromise was effected, and
the sum of $4,000 divided among the
contestants for the bounty. Expert
ment after experiment in the making
of road-wagons followed. The point
that we would make here is
that to a former Iowa County man

and successful use of automobiles.

under the above caption, we reprint
from the American Press of July 20,
1916, an address delivered by Robert
M. Crawford before a meeting of the
Wisconsin Press and Printers Fed
Grafton at Madison. We regard the
republication of the address as being
most timely, in view of the fact that
many of those with whom Robert M.
Crawford was closely associated in
newspaper work will be here next
Monday on the automobile tour of
members of the Wisconsin Press
Association.
Further, we know that, in a large
measure, this address reflects the
life and character of our brother,
who was ever true to his convictions
of right and duty. By study, and
untiring effort, he won for himself
a place among the foremost news
paper men of Wisconsin.
He was a forward looking man,
and, as it has been most truly said
of him, he always stood for what was
