BRUNI COUNTY HERALD PUBLISHED EVERY WEDNESDAY Bell Phone No. 12. Farmer'* Phone No 49. Entered April 30.1903. at Lancaster. Wis.. as second class matter ander act ol Con gress of March 3. 1&79. OFFICIAL CITY PAPER. B. J. LOWREY, Editor and Prop. SubscriDtion Price. $1.50 per year. LONG AND SHORT HAULS. Senator Aldrich may oe a great statesman, and undoubtedly he exerts a most powerful influence in the U. S. senate, but in the debate upon the railroad rate bill a few days ago his part of the discussion was pitifully weak. The contention made on be half of the interior cities of the west that they be given at least as low a freight rate from Chicago as is ac corded to col it cities like Seattle, Portland and Los Angeles, several hundreds of miles farther away, is one upon which it would seem there should not be two opinions among right thinking men. It is an' unjust discrimination, which is building up the great railway terminal cities at tide water at the expense of the in land cities. For instance: It was brought out in the debate that the freight rate on bar iron from Chicago to Boise, Ida ho, is $1.25 per 100 pounds. The rate on the same product to Portland, over the mountains, a haul of more than 500 miles further, is 75 cents per 100 pounds; on cement the rate trom Chi cago to Boise is t 56 cents, while from Chicago to Portland it is 25 cents. The rate on wool from Los Angeles, California to Boston, which is the great wool market, is $1.90 per IQO pounds This shipment has to pass right through Utah, and yet the rate from Utah to Boston on the same product is $2.13 per cwt so that a Los •Angeles buyer can have wool shipped to bis city from Utah and then back again through Utah to Boston, 23 cents per 100 cheaper than the late direct from Salt Lake City to Boston. The interior portions of the country were not even contending for a lower rate than is given to the ccast cities but asked that they be given the same rate. Senator Aldrich opposed tbe eSorts that were being made to do away with this unjust discrimination. REPUBLICANS TO GET TOGETHER A conference of Wisconsin re publicans who believe in President Taft and his efforts to carry out the party pledges has been called to meet in tbe auditorium in Milwaukee on Wednesday, June 8, at two o’clock, the basis of representation from each county to be about the same as that of tbe old state conventions. In each county a conference will be held on June 4 to select delegates to attend the state conference. The call issued con tains these explanatory clauses: “It is imperative, if the republican party shall hope to maintain itself as a political organization in Wisconsin, that steps be taken to restore to the members of the party soma share in the mana£'im»nt of its affairs. ‘ In a representative government of 90,000,000 people parties are necessary because it is through party organiza tion alone that sound principles of government can be promulgated to the maintenance of which the repre sentatives of the people may be pledg ed. ‘Representative government of — - TWM. ,!■ ■—7 '' ' ■■■■■■■»■ 'Hi.- hi n-mu To dress well ———= does not require a Large Expense.

Where members if parties are given no opportunity to assemble and confer for ascertaining the will of a majority of the parry there ij no way in which ‘hat majority can make its will knowu. “These statements of fact are fundamental and it does not require argument to cai.f conviction of their truth to the mind of the thoughtful citizen. If anything were needed to prove their soundness the experience of t'te republican paity in Wisconsin during the last six years would fur nish the required evidence. The republican voters in this state today are without voice in chousing their leaders or formulating their party principles. The result is party dis organization, a multiplicity of hostile factions, widespread dissatisfaction and bitter personal controversies. “The remedy for this unfortunate condition of affairs is plain and un mistakable. The party members should exercise their constitutional right of assembly and meet in conven tion, a right that was fully recognized by our Supreme court in its recent decision construing the primary law.” The expert acountants who have been investigating the books and ac counts of tne State Board of Agri culture at Milwaukee have discovered some sensational facts that show great laxity in methods of manage ment in past years. Salaries have been paid to officers, in violation of the statutes; records have been im perfectly kept and a general looseness has characterized many of its affairs. And yet-it is wondered why the fair makes no money. The death ot Gen. Brumder, of Mil waukee, proprietor of Germania, the great German paper, a few days ago. removes I’rom earthly activities a man known as the monarch of the German Amercian press. No paper in tbe United States was better known throughout tbe land than Germania. The excitement over the comet is at :an end and shows that the learned j astronomers, who differed from each other in their predictions didn’t know much about it after all. Whatever else may be done to the railroad rate bill at Washington be fore its passage, it is now decided that the commerce court feature is to be retained. High School Notes. Walter Damm. Editor. Miss Anderson gave a very inter esting talk to the school on the sub ject, “Prehistoric Man” last Tues day morning. The Athena Debating club held a debate upon the question, “Resolved, that the United States was justified in its attitude in tbe Spanish-Amer ican war.” It was wdn by the neg ative. The Freshman members ot the For um Debating Club will hold a Debate against the North School Literary Club Wednesday night. The question is: Resolved, that the ownership and operation by the Federal government of all steam railroads engaged in in terstate commerce would be for the best interests of the people. One of the pupils of Mr, Smith’s first year English class found that the dictionary definition of the word “cor rode” was, “to eat away.” When GRANT COUNTY HERALD, LANCATER, WISCONSIN, MAY 25, 1910 asked to use it in a sentence he said, after serious reflectioJ, “John corrodad at the chicken. ’ ’ The examination schedule has been posted for this semester.
