Three Gay Pulpit Jingoes.

Perhaps it may occur to some folks
who keep abreast with the operations
of Divinity, as revealed through the
breathings of some Of our pulpit ora
tors. that j.ngoism has become wofully
entangled with theology in these later
GAYS. One thing, however, ought to be
said in favor of these representatives
of their respective craeds, and that IS.
they have located the responsibility for
the existing war, and they are not
afraid to speak right out in meeting
and indicate who is to blame for it.
Now. for instance, there is the Rev.
Justin D. Fulton, of Brooklyn, N. Y,
who, it is said, recently declared that
he 'had stayed with God all day Sun

There are no roads whatever, and these

to be built, subsidized in some way by

Good Grain News.

That was a good piece Of news that
The G o b printed yesterday regard
ing the reduction of the rates for grain
shipments which the Great Northern
railroad proposes to put into effect
Immediately. 1t means more to the
farmers and shippers of Minnesota and
the Northwest than anything that has
happened since wheat began to climb
skyward. Upon the basis of the crop
of last year it means that upwards Of
S750,000 will remain in the pockets of
the producers that otherwise would be
absorbed by that particular railroad
for the transportation of their prod
ucts. The fact that this sum is about
100000 more than what the railroad
commission believed to be a proper
concession on the part Of the railroad,
as developed during the progress Of
the STEVENSON case, makes it appar-
ent that this move had long been I'M
der contemplation by the Great North
ern. 1t illustrates the highest type of
railroad management and the worth of
a well-defined policy in the develop
ment of traffic and the growth of
country through which a system op-
crates. Incidentally, it conveys a hint
to the Eastern railroads in general,
whose lack of attention to details re-
lated to economical management and
business skill has ever been the Won
der of Western managers. 1t conveys
lesson which even political agitators
might ponder. with gratifying results
to the communities which they vex by
their vociferation.
1t is no profound secret to those ra-
tional beings who study the reports and
operations of railroads for purposes of
information. how this one railroad has
been able to lop off three quarters of
million of dollars without Gripping it's
revenues or inpairing the effectiveness
of the service which 1t is bound to
render the public. Economy in man
agement, minimum of expenditure and
maximum of business results are at the
bottom of it all. We know now what
the extraordinary density Of traffic. of
which we have heard, on the Montana
division means to the farmers of Min
nesota and Dakota, when its money
value is distributed to them in this
form. The significance of the building
of the Fosston branch to Duluth, which
reduces by hundred miles the distance
between the wheat fields of the Red
river valley and Duluth and the Twin
Cities,s is now readily comprehended.
The rights of way granted for extern
sions here and there can now be re-
sarded with complacency where before

IMPROVEMENT IN WEAPONS

Equipped ard manned for conflict.

Brave men are those that guide them,
Brave men, with warriors skill;
They dread not wave nor foeman,
Armed ship nor fortressed hill;
But search the wave-tossed waters
Til Spanish warship runs,
And send their laundering challenge
From iron-thrated guns.
