Why not make an effort to
secure a high-class railroad
commission?
Morris tribune. [volume] (Morris, Minn.) 1880-2000, 1904-03-05
The Railroad Commissioners.

! There is danger that the re-
publicans of Minnesota will be
so engrossed with the contest
for governor that they will fail
to pay proper attention to the
other places on the ticket, One
of the hottest fights in history
of the state will be waged for
the next four months with the
governorship as it's prize, and
other places on the ticket as
mere pawns. Control of the
party machinery will 60 to the
element which wins in the fight
for governor and in playing for
such high stakes funds will be,
lavishly spent. Candidates for
other offices will be considered
as trading stock.
The people of the state have
a decided interest in the occu-
pants of other Offices at the
capitol, and it is time they were
paying some attention to the
so-called minor nominations.
The railroad aud warehouse
com nilsson has a more direct
bearing on the welfare of bust
ness men and the great army
of producers than the governor
ship. Two of the three COM
missioners come up for re-elec-
ton this year, and there is no
doubt that certain railroad in
terests of the state will take as
much interest in those nomin
ations as in the governorship.
Ira B, Mills and Joseph G.
Miller, the two commissioners
whose terms expired, are both
candidates again. There is a
strong public sentiment i'll
favor Of retiring both Of them.
The official course of the COM
mission in the past three years
has not been satisfactory to the
public, and the popular demand
is for change. While the
railroad corporations are under
stood to be well satisfied with
the commission as it stands,
they would not objectto change
if it bought two more comniss-
toner's of the same type. It is
all very well to demand a
change, but what sort. Of
change? There issa field of
seven or eight new candidates
in the race already. Do they |
furnish reasonable hope of inn
provement?
These are questions the re-
publican voters Of the state
should be asking themselves.
If new men are nominated for
the mission, they should
be men who can be implicitly

During last summer a revival of the

place in Decorah, and it promises to
continue throughout this year at least.

Do You Advertiser

Advertising certainly pays. Take
for instance farmer that receives by
mail, oatalog from one of the big
wholesale houses of the cities he i'm
meditely looks for prices, and nine
times out of ten he places an order
through the mails because he saw the
advertisement and prices noted. The
farmer these days isn't bent on going
from one store to another to get prices
why? Simply because he receives all
the prices, samples and circulars right
at his doo- and does not have to go
around his own town in order to OBJ
tain prices from local merchants who
do not advertise. He has them all
right before him direct from the whole
sale houses. On the other hand the
local merchant continually keeps ON
kicking and says that these big mail
houses are drawing all the trade, and
in time they certainly will if the mer-
chant does't rise. get into the swim,
hustle, quote prices and advertise.
The local paper should be given hearty
support by local merchants, and they
should diligently use a certain am.
of advertising space for each week.
with bright. crispy write-ups of their
business, their stock on hand, their
prices, their advantage over the mail
order houses for saving their money,
etc., etc. Don't let business houses
500 miles distant get your trade, and
you can in no other way prevent this.

DEBORAH GETS TWO CONVENTIONS.
Annual Gatherings of Northeastern Iowa
WOOdmen and Northeastern Iowa

Held Here Next Year.

Decorah will have the pleasure next
June of entertaining one OF the larg-
est crowds in her history, if every
thing goes we'll, for the Northeastern
Iowa Picnic Association of the
Modern Woodmen of America at It's
meeting at Clear Lake last week
voted to come to Decorah. Decorah
was represented at the picnic by
delegation Of about a hundred who
went out on a special train. Had it
not been for. the inclement weather
the delegation would have been much
larger. Arriving at Clear Lake about
eleven O'Clock, they at once set about
to work the delegates for Decorah.
Everyone was labelled with Decorah
badges and unique idea was carried
out in the parade, the Decorah con-
tingeut following George Bakers
burrow, which was driven by son
of G. N. Volding, who rode in a cart
which had been decorated for the oc-
casion. In the association meeting
the only opposition encountered was
Hampton. who asked for the picnic
next year, but by the time the vote
was taken Decorah led by nearly 100.
This means that big crowd will be
here next year, and Decorah will be
obligated to entertain them in man.

in this respect. There is no doubt
that our people will unite in doing
so. Mr.. B. E. Bucknell was elected
Secretary of the association, H. j.

member of the Board of Directors.
In the prize drill contest Decorah
captured the first prize of $25 for the
best drilled degree team, the boys
showing up splendidly under the
skilled manipulation of Chief B. E.
Bucknell.
Another association that will hold
its 1905 meeting in Decorah is the

tion. The meeting of the association
was held at Charles City last week,
and an invitation was extended from
Decorah through Mr.. l.. l.. CALDWELL,
