To the Editor of The Journal
During the past week our business men,
and especially the retail merchants, have
received letters from the twin city jobbers
beseeching them to circulate petitions and
to use their influence with the members of
the legislature against the passage of the tax
bill now under consideration This is en-
tirely proper for the twin city Wholesalers,
but while one of their committees is writing
to the inland towns to save them from pay
ing taxes on the property which they are so
fortunate as to own, another committee of
the same jobbers is at work with the state
board of railroad commissioners trying to In
fuence it not to grant St Cloud, Fergus Falls
and Crookston the distributing freight tariff.

reduction, and which in part Offset the great

cities to wholesale and manufacture in q
limited way. The natural laws OF trade and
transportation initiate sufficiently agairst the
inland cities without additional obstacles
being placed in their way by the big jobbers

The Nonpareil Man
The True Light.

The True Light.
Midway upon the journey Of my life
! found myself within a forest dark.
ALong fellows Dantes Inferno.
Within O shadow-wood of dream
Where lights reflected slit and CLEAN,
The wandering foot may yet be sure
sOf pausing at the Fathers door.
An inner vision sees light
That never dawns to mortal sight,
A light that clears the wanderers way
A beam from that eternal day
Where hmcst substantial daily food
Is found in knowing naught but good,
In seeing only, mid the flight
or shadows, everlasting light.
Wherever love within the heart
Refiecteth Love. the light hath part.
No other truth His children own,
No other path to His white throne.
BY this lights radiance shining through
The dream, we know we're dreaming true.
