Even more revered than the sr; hpve reverance and humility we also couple the narr.es of the soldiers livinnr wno have offered their lives for their country and their not iiii thnsp of the heroes kad. It came to raanv uf cur people as a painful shock when businessmen coupled thssr trade with patriotism in advertising var ions war activities. Bui that method was prevalent during the wur snd too much Wains should not attach to those who did not originate it tut fcl'oivcd she custom. However, as the war is over and there is time for reflection lot us'hooe the custom of using patriotism, real or assumed, to sell merchandise or to inc ee business shall be done away, with nevr to return.

Lust week The State Journal came out "for a plan to appeal the sis cent fare to the circuit court.

OUr lauen Duys a curious crowd of prospective OFFERD" 55 SHIRWAISTS sit up and take notice to what is a thin one and its advocates of the law was to minimize to the corporations of the state the commission. It was last aboat all that 'Judge railway company is no child's the Xl 3 a When thsse reactionary organs agree on such a program as this it is time for the people to the REAL same is. In our estimation the game are no medals for sagacity or shrewdness. When the railroad commission was organized one of the big ih i farpfl the framers Rvenoe that would be left open tvn, thP of .1. 4 to the public utiUties of the state could be dragged hrcu the various iegal processes of the circuit, state: and supreme courts that the effectiveness of the railroad com mission could be largely nullified.

So the law was framed with a view to preventing this. The law was framed is such a way as to make the decisions of. the commission as near final as possible. The appeal to a circuit court was made very limited in its naturei The powers of a circuit or state supreme court were made very limited in their power of review. If the appeal were taken to Judge Stevens, for instance, in 4i.

r' hp not have the power to take a broad view of the situation. In the Stevens would be given an opportunity to decide upon would be Li to whether there was any fraud or dishonesty In the decision of the commission. That is a hard thing to prove. There is nothing that would be of greater delight to the'rail ruad commission than to have this decision appealed. Today the commission bears the entire responsibility for the six cent fare We are inclined to think that the commission just now would be perfectly willing to share that responsibility with Judge Stevens.

What better alibi could the railroad commission wart than to sav that their decision had been reviewed by Judge Stevens and found to be alright? What better alibi could the Btrest railway company want? The remedy does not lie there. tm, inst two thincs to do: First The city of Madison should take the street railway pan over. Second It should (exercise care to see that the price at which it is taken over is not txhorbitant There are eleventh hour advocates of public ownership in this citv who appear to be in on the program to dump the street railway company or on the city at a price FIXED BY THE norcVNT BATLROAD COMMISSION. This taking over the street EVJUE, Editor It involves something more man tarn on tne wul I citizens. It will require the best judgment and care.

And, bore all, lt us keep an eye on the camouflage that is appearing.
