Phases of the Wheat Question.

FuSSeS OI Suo "uodS VueSVSOu.
EDITOR FoRUM:-There are several
phases of the wheat question that
should receive the attention of the
farmers and that make it especially
important that farmers vote the peoples
party ticket; especially on railway
and warehouse commiss iouer, con-
gressmen and members of the legis-
lature.
First-the railway commission Sc
lected the notorious A. G. Clausen as
secretary; he has always been the
advocate of grading down wheat so
that the terminal elevators controlled
by Hill and the corporation elevator
Co. $ could make big money mixing the
wheat. A large vote for the peoples
party candidate for warehouse CON-
missioner would be an emphatic pro-
test against Clausen and his plumber
system of inspection which vert into
effect on this crop; also the peoples
party candidates for legislative offices
should be elected to lead an investi-
cation of this change of standard
grades; ono grade is being lost on all
wheat.
Another phase of the wheat question
that makes it important to eleci peoples
party candidates for cor gress is that
the democrats and republicans seem
to fuse against the farmers on the
wheat question. At the present time
there is tariff of 20 cents per bushel
on wheat. The democrats are op-
posed to it along with the rest OF their
''tarif REFORM cure-all. The repub-
licans are in favor Of abolishing this
either by ''reciprocity route' or by
multiplying it by allowing it to be
'.shipped and milled in bond" For
merly they only allowed it to be
shipped in bond through the country
and thus allow the Minneapolis and
Duluth mills to have this wheat to
grind; but this year the present sec.

LOT opening Sept.4, 1919.
A resolution was adopted urging
that $4,000 be raised to complete the
work; $4,000 had already been sub
scribed in and about St. Peter.
A resolution was adopted that the
different congregations should con-
tribute sums averaging twenty-five
cents per communicate for the college
and Theological Seminary at Paxton,
Ill. It was hoped that what would be
lacking in the contributions from the
poorer congregations would be made
up by those in better financial circum-
stances.
Rev. A. Anderson, an assistant of
Rev. Norelius at Vasa, was called to
serve the congregations of Chisago
Lake, Fish Lake and Spring Lake for
such period as he could be spared
from his present work, at salary of
$50 month and free transportation.
The matter of providing for the re-
lief of destitute Swedish settlers in
Southern Minnesota was taken up,
discussed and acted upon.
Provision was made for the equal
i2ation of the expenses of the delegates
attending. The committee appointed
to have the matter in charge were
Revs. j. G. Lagerstrom and E.
Hedeen.
Three sermons were delivered each
day during the conference, and the
meetings were largely attended. On
the Sunday communion services were
celebrated. On Sunday afternoon a
sermon delivered in the English
language to the editication of the
English speaking people of the village.

apolis market and it is fair estimate
that in August and September wheat
would have been at least 10 cents
higher than it was. Had the Mime
'apolis remained 10 cents higher dur
ing September it would have never
been below 70 cents and probably not
below IS cents.
The wheat question is one of the
important ones to the farmers and
they should bear in mind that the
leaders of both the democratic and
republican parties are unit on this
question and both favor the policy
that will profit the milling syndicates,
the terminal elevators and the Jim
Hill-Morgan railroads at the expense
of the farmers of the northwest.

Meeting OF CONFERENCE.
Synopsis Of tho Proceedings Of Con-
ference Held at New London
In 1874

New London has once before had
the honor of entertaining the Swedish
Lutheran Minnesota Conference viz.
on Sept. 3o,-Oct. S, 1874. A brief
synopsis of the doings at that meeting
may be of interest at this time.
The conference opened at 10 o'clock
a. H., Sept. 80, 1874. The church
building (the main part of the present
structure, without tower or sacristy
portion) had just been completed and
the first service, which was performed
by Rev. E. Norelius, was the dedica-
ton of the building.
This was followed by the conference
sermon delivered by the chairman Of
the conference, Rev. P. Sj0blom.
After dinner partaken of out-of-
doors the official business was begun.
The roll-call showed twenty-five minis
tiers and eighteen lay delegates to be
present, nine ministers being absent.
The Norwegian clergyman, Rev. o.
Paulson, the theological students G.
B. L. Boman and A. B. Carlson and
Mr.. Dahlman of Spring Lake were
given seats as honorary members.
The forenoons of the conference were
set aside for the discussion of the SUBJ
ject: "The Relation Between Justifca-
ton and Sancti6cation.'' The theses
for the discussion of the subject had
not been set up before the opening of
the conference and the secretary Rev.
G. A. Evald, in. his report says that
''the difficult question prevented the
discussion generally from becoming
animated" Upon report of the execu.
tive committee resolutions were adopt
ed providing, among other things, the
following: ....s
That M. A. G.. Vestling be granted
assistance of SO a month from the
mission fund.
That Mr.. G. Forsberg be granted
like assistance, after his work had
been investigated by the conference.
That the conference approved of the
action of the Committee on making a
loan of $4,000 for running expenses.
The directoral of the Ausgarius
school reported that it, had trans
ferred the school property to the '''Aus-
garius Board of Education" as had
been decided at the spring meeting of
the conference at Chisago Lake. This
was accepted, with the, proviso that
the library was not to, be considered
the property OF the school. s
h A committee appointed at the previ-
Gus meeting reported it had accepted
the ten acres Of \ land donated by the
city of: St. Peter for the school and
had purchased 10 acres more for q
sum Of $3.50, and that it had warranty
deed to the 20 acres. Plans and spe-
cifcations for building were presented
and accepted. They provided for .

stories high. >s.

W. W. Wilcox, optician and eye
specialist, will be at Willmar, Mimi,
Oct: Is to Nov. 3, 1902, where he will
be pleased to see all his Old patients
and all others that are in need of the
services Of specialist for their eyes.
Remember we make thorough ex-
animation of your eyes, and fit you
perfectly at once without fatiguing
your eyes in trying on nunberless
pairs of lens as you do with your local
opticians. With us we examine your
eyes and with them you examine their
trial lens.
WlLLMAR, MINI, Oct. 20, 1902.
To the Citizers of Willmar and the
Public n General
My lutte daughter Annie has been
deprived ofthe advantages of schooling
for the past two years, on account of
her eyes. I consulted DR.. Wilcox,
the eye specialist, who examined her
eyes with the opthalmoscope, and
fitted her to glasses, that took the
strain eff the optic nerve, and has so
restored her sight and general health
that she is now able to resume her
studies again, after being forbidden
to attend school by home opticians,
and others, who have utterly failed to
benefit her in any way, she being un-
able to wear the glasses fitted by them.
Annie has used DR.. Wilcox's glasses
about forty days, and her general
health is much improved, and she has
gained in weight twelve pounds.
Respectfully yours,

KANSAS DEMOCRATS ON GOVERNOR STANLEY

The Lawrence Journal estimates the late action OF the
Democratic party be equivalent to en-
dcgsement of the Stanley administration While it would
mpolitic praise and unDemocratic to en-
dorse still the condemnation of the widest char
acter The Journal has this to say:
It will be remembered that when the Democrats met
Wichita they failed find anything to criticize in the
Republican administration of Kansas for the past four
years the fact that Republican Legislature had
passed antifusion law and had made the railroad
board appointve. When Democratic convention meets
In find but small things the Repub-
eans have done in four years that they kick about
It is safe presume that the Republicans have con-
public affairs that is practically ir-
reproachabe Nothing that the Republicans could have
said would have been greater compliment to Governor
Stanley and his administration than the failure of
the Democrats to ind anything in to criticize For
may be if anything the least wrong reprehensble
had been permitted by Governor Stanley the Democrats
would have nosed it out and denounced it, AS matter
of fact they found nothing ALL for the things they
complained of legislative and not executive acts
Governor Stanley has right feel that he has the
dorsement of the Democrats well of the Republi
cans Of Kansas. and he deserves it.
