Mr. Arthur Greenwood is the only person in this neighborhood making maple molasses. He reports it a. very good season. Mrs. John Sutherland and two children of Stratford were guests at the home of Mrs. Thos. Banks last week. At time of writing there is very little plowing done, but most farmers expect to get started this week. Mr. James McNally. we believe, turned the first sod in this neighborhood, commencing on Friday the 12th. of April.

There must be reason and common sense in everything. and While we want, the railroads to do What is fair we must; at the same time stand ready ourselves to do what is fair. I an) a firm believer in the regula- tion of the railroads, in order that the service they render to the public may be adequate and rendered at a reason- able cost. But I am unalterably apposed to inimical legislation enacted merely to satisfy an unreasonable pol- itical tendency or to ornament the toga of demagogues and political monntebanks. It also follows that if the railroad facilities of the country do not keep pace with the increased commerce a severe car shortage may be experienced next year. This will be detrimental not only to the shipper who cannot send his products to their destination but also to the producer, which finally means the workingman whose labor must find a market. This is largely due to wanton and reckless legislation and the activities of unwise railroad commissions. Their work has intimated the investor and prompted railroad authorities in- to an ultra conservative attitude. Milwaukee is more vitally concerned than are many other American cities. Many of the local industries are en- gaged in the production of railway supplies. \Ve havea large and well equipped car and locomotive construc- tion plant here, known as the West Milwaukee car shops. I‘hese shops should always be in full operation. A revival in the railway business would benefit Milwaukee’s industries to a considerable extent. There is no intention to give the railroads more than their just dues. We can not do Without them, but more than that they must also be pros- perous in order to render a. good serv- ice and prompt them to make exten- sions and improvements. “It is a well known fact that rail- road building has practically come to a standstill. It is also ’true that rail- roads have made only the most urgent improvements, as far as roadbeds and the replenishment of rolling stock is concerned. “In order that these resolutions may not be misunderstood,” said Pres- ident Otto H. Folk, “let it primarily be said that the present industrial de- pression is, in part due to the railway situation. A plm for more conservative regu- lation of railroads. to give them a rim rice to make some money and there- “) he able to give better service is con- “:nw ‘n :1 resolution adopted yester- day by lil" directors of theMerchants and Manufacturer’s association. The Y'eSUhItiOil says that the welfare of shippers is seriously threatened by :he lack of equipment and improve- ment in railroad facilities. for which over-regulation is-blamed. Copies of the resolution will be sent to Congress, the interstate commerce commission and the state railroad commission. §SARER REGULATION OF RAIL- 9 ROADS ASKED tions Will Obtain That Will Seriously Affect Shippers, It is Held Unless More Leeway Is Given Candi: RESTRICTIONS ARE BLAMED FUR QUALITY OF SERVICE M.

The big Baltic, 200 miles to the eai11t- ward and westbound, turned again to save life as she did when her sister of the White Star Aleet, the Republic, was slit down in a fog in Jannary, 1999. and startsâ€"for the Wireless was work- ing unevenly and blurrinegâ€"Philiips reached out to ,the world crying the Titanic’s peril. A word or two, scatter- ed phrases now and then, a connected sent a thrill of apprehension for £ It has been many years since the world was left in such suspense and dread as followed the first faltering calls for help from the crushed Tita- nic. At 10.30 on Sunday night the Vir- gim’an, speeding on her way to Gas- gow, picked up the White Star’s steamship’s insistently frantic C.Q-D.. the Marconi signal of distress and peril that clears the air of all lesser messages and stops ships at sea full in their tracks. Dash by dash and dot by dot the wireless operator of the Virginian caught the cry for help- “Have struck 'an icebe}g. Badfy damaged. Rush aid.” Seaward and landward, J. G. Phil- lips the Titanic’s wireless man, was hurling the appeal for help. BY,fi_tS Staggering in the icefleld. into which she had driven at great spied, the Titanic sped call after call to the hurrying liners of the upper roadsâ€"- the great Baltic, the good Samaritan of the Atlantic. and the big Germans that were plowing their way between the continents. And the wireless once more proved its worth, for the Car- pathia, wheeling in its course, sped through the night, venturing unknown dangens, and raced up in time to save the lives of 800, all of the first-class passengers and that portion of "10 crew which manned the lifeboats. It is feared that over 1,200 other souls on board perished. The Titanic, of the White Star Line, the biggeSt. most luxurious ship in the world, lies at tlfibottom of tHe sea just south of the Grand Banks ot Newfoundland, and 600 miles south east of Halifax. On her maiden voy- age, the Colossus of steamships shat- tered herself against an iceberg. No- thing availed to keep her afloat. The science of shipbuilding prevails against Winds and weathers, but the mighty 'steel ocean greyhounds of the twentieth century are as much at the mercy of fogs and ice as were the oak bottoms of a hundred years ago. WOMEN AND CHILDREN FIRST London, April 16.â€"The unwritten law of the sea, “Women and child- ren first,” was upheld on the floor of the House of Commons to-day by Premier Asquith in a speech deploring the Titanic diaster., “I must ex- press the dcepest admiration,” he said, “for the carrying out of that best of sea traditicns, the saving of those least able to save themselves.” Fro “1 iiv :2 23233328: in 22.551: 2:212.“ j 12:3 Drownedmfiéen 21: Women. and Children 2‘21: 81* 3‘4”; I’M!" ’97.. vi “v.1 xi NH ”a.” Emu a: g".
