ANNOUNCEMENT OF VOTE
Crisis Close ut Hsad Regarding Crest
Northern Labor Troublo-0allotinE
Of Employees Closes.


Northern Labor Trouble Bailottng
Of Employees Closes.
The impending strike on the Great
Northern is subject which at present
commands more interest locally than
any other matter. It will be only
short time before the result will be
known as to the vote of the trainmen
regarding strike, and the public
will learn of it on Monday at the lat
est. Let us all hope for some settle
ment that will not make it necessary
for the roads employees to take the
action that resulted in such tie up
| some years ago. Willmarites will re-
member those scenes and repetition
is not desirable. Speaking of the
present impending strike, the Minne-
apolis Tribune of Thursday says: -
Affairs in the impending strike, of
| the Great Northern trainmen are rap
idly approaching crisis, and Sun
day will probably determine definitely
what action will be taken, both py
employees and the road.
Assistant Grand Master Newman,
! OF the Order of Railway Trainmen,
| and Vice Grand Conductor. Garretson
of the Order of Railway Conductors,
arrived ia St. Paul yesterday and
went over every detail OF the situ-
ation.
Mr.. Garretson gave the trainmen's
the extension OF the double-header
system is something which menaces
not only the men who are directly af-
fected at present, but it affects all
trainmen on the system.
| Mr.. Garretson stated that the run
ming of the double header means more,
in risk, labor and responsibility than
the raise of Is per cent in wages which
was recently granted on the system.
1t will be the means of throwing many
men out of employment as the system
is extended, and will make the work
| so much harder that the increase in
| wages will amount to nothing.
The union officials also stated that
affairs on the Great Northern today
are in worse atate than on any of
the competing lines. They said that
! none OF the men are satisfied and that
the present stand is for better con-
ditions all around. The railway
trainmen have struck but three times
in the last Is years, which argues
that the present conditions must be
serisous.
The vote Of the trainmen will all be
in by Saturday, and the votes will be-
counted Saturday and Sunday. The
result will be announced to General
Manager Ward of the Great North
ern Sunday. If it is favorable to the
road the trainmen will compromise in
the best manner possible:
If it is found that the men. are in
favor of standing out, it w1ll be the
question OF but day or two before
definite action is taken.
The road is preparing to get men
from from all over the country if the
trainmen strike, and there seems little
probability OF the men getting what
they want.

The Worlds Need of
Tolerance
BY WILLIAM GEORGE JORDAN

Let us not seek to fit the whole world
with shoes from our individual last. If
we think that all music ceased to be-
written when Wagner laid down the
pen, let us not condemn those who find
enjoyment in light opera. Perhaps
they may some time rise to our heights
Of artistic appreciation and learn the
proper parts to applaud. If their light
er music satisfies their souls, is our
Wagner doing more for us? It is not
fair to take from a child it's rag doll
in order to raise it to the appreciation
Of the Venus de Milo. The rag doll is
its Venus. 1t may require long series
Of increasingly better dolls to lead it to
realize the beauties Of the marble wo-
man of Melos.
Intolerance makes its great mistakes
in measuring the needs of others from
its own standpoint. Intolerance ig-
nores the personal equation in life.
What would be an excellent book for a
man of forty might be worse than USE
; less for boy Of thirteen. The line Of
activity in life that we would choose
AZ our highest dream of bliss, as our
paradise, might If forced on another ba
to him worse than the after death fate
Of the wicked according to the old FASH
toned theologtans. What would be q
very acceptable breakfast for spar
TOW would be very poor meal for an
elephant.
When we sit in solemn judgment Of
the acts and characters Of those around
us and condemn them with the easy
nonchalance Of our ignorance, yet with
the assumption of omniscience, we re-
veal our intolerance. Tolerance ever
leads US to recognize and respect the
differences in the natures Of those who
are near to US, to make allowance for
differences in training; in opportunities,
In ideals, in motives, in tastes, in opin-
ions, in temperaments and in feelings.
Intolerance seeks to live other peoples
lives for them; sympathy helps us to
Hive their lives with them. We must
accept humanity with all it's weakness,
sin and folly and seek to make the best
Of 1t, just as humanity must accept US.
We learn this lesson as we grow older,
Ind with the increase Of our knowledge
Of the world we see how much happier
life would have been for Us and for 9TH
ers If we had been more tolerant, more
charitable, more generous-From 'The
Power Of TRUTH" Published by Bren-
tano's. 1 ~. :,

ing the fortune he once had or the
fame that has taken it's winged fight
into oblivion, frittering away his gold
en- hours erecting new monuments in
the cemetery Of his past achievements
and his former greatness, making what

what he is, lives in an air castle. To

necessary, as any experienced teacher
can construct with the aid of q piece
of chalk all the arithmetical charts
necessary, and change them as the
class progresses. There had been no
map agent around lately, so the maps
were an antiquated set, practically
useless. This may have been an ex-
treme case, but something of this con-
dition can be found in almost every
country school.
In some cases the county superin.
tendents have been partly to blame
because they have given these travel
ing fakirs recommendations for their
goods, and we have known these
recommendations given for goods en-
tirely useless. It may have been done
thoughtlessly, under the magic in
fuence of the agents glib tongue, but
it is we'll known that those agents will
use dishonorable means if they can.
Boards can avoid being misled in
that way by following the rule given
above. There are probably very few
superintendents who would knowingly
help this nefarious work along, but if
this rule is adhered to even those few
can do no harm.
The main essential for school is a
good school house, properly lighted,
heated and ventilated, having good
seats and plenty of space for rec:-
tations without crowding the class too
close to the blackboard and thus in
terfering with the line of vision.
Next see that there are good slate
blackboards and plenty of them. A
good dictionary, which can be pur-
chased through the state superinten-
dent at reduced price, a good set Of
wall maps and small globe should
be found in every school house.
Reading charts may be handy, but
are not essential. Then get q good
library, also to be obtained Though
the state superintendent. Use the
money now wasted on worthless ap-
paratus to pay little extr wages in
order to get the best kind of teacher
and you have& everything needed to
make good school.

MODERATE DRINKING.
4 Large Factor In the Making O.
-Drunkardg, Says q Clergyman.

Auc NSW 1OIh Aucl1Cdu lcCc4lAy
published the following brief but inn
portant opinion by the Rev. DR.. David
J. Burrell, pastor Of the Marble Cole
giate church Of Fifth avenue. New
York:
1t is a mistake to suppose that men
alone are addicted to drink.
For obvious reasons drunken WON.

homes of the people might tell diff
AS to the habits Of the wretchedly
poor I can speak out of four years
experience as a missionary among
them.
A Bible visitor in one Of the slum dis.
tricts Of New York said to me recently,
II don't think 1 know man or woman
in my district who doesn't drink"
But the poor are not the only offend.
ers. ASK the physicians of our city,
and under pledge Of confidence they
will intimate that there are skeletons
in the closets Of many aristocratic
homes.
In my judgment, the responsibility
vests largely on husbands and fathers,
who have encouraged the habit by haV'
ing wine on their tables.
The only remedy is total abstinence.
There are no drunkards, male or fe-
male, except such as are recruited from
the ranks Of the moderate drinkers.
The heads of families particularly
should see the reasonableness Of the
rule, "Touch not, taste not, handle not. "

The Supreme Folly
of the World
BY WILLIAM GEORGE JORDAN

The saddest depths to which the hu-
man mind can sink is atheism. 1t is
the supreme folly Of the world. He
surely is to be pitied who permits the
Illogical philosophy of petty infidels or
his misinterpretations Of the revela-
tons Of science to cheat him Of his
God. He pins his faith to some in
genious sophistry in the reasoning Of
those whose books he has read to sum
up for him the whole problem and in
hopeless egotism shuts his eyes to the
million proofs in nature and life, be-
cause the full plans of Omnipotence are
not made clear to him.
On the technicality of his failure to
understand some one point-perhaps it
Is why sin, sorrow, suffering and in
Justice exist in the world-he declares
he will not believe. He might as well
disbeheve in the sky above him be-
cause he cannot see it all, discredit the
air he breathes because it is invisible,
doubt the reality of the ocean because

anatomist has found the subtle es-
sence to hold it up to view on the end
Of his scalpel.
He dares to disbelieve, in God despite
his countless manifestations because
he is not taken into the full confidence
Of the Creator and permitted to look
over and check off the ground plans Of
the universe. He sheathes the sword
Of belief In the dingy scabbard Of inf
deity. He does not see the proof Of
God In the daily miracle of the rising
and setting Of the. sun, in the seasons,
In the birds, in the flowers, in the
countless stars, moving in their majes-
tic regularity at the command Of eter-
nal law, in the presence Of love, JUS
tice, truth In the hearts of men, in that
supreme confidence that is Unborn in
humanity, making even the lowest saw
age worship the Infinite in some form.

Cheer Up!
Grumble? No; what's the good?
If it availed, I would;
But it doesn't a. bit
Not 1t.
Laugh? Yes: why not7
'Tis better than crying a lots
We were made to be glad,
Not sad.
Sing? Why, yes: to be sure
We shall better endure
If the hearts full of song
All day long.
Love? Yes. increasingly,
Ever increasingly:
Friends burdens bearing,
Their sorrows sharing;
Their happiness making,
For pattern taking
The One above,
Who is love.
