COLLEGE AFFILIATIONS.

At the recent meeting of the trus-
tees Of the Red River Valley univer-
sity this week it was decided to be-
gin the operation Of an institution in
this city to be known as Wesley COL
lege and its operation in connection
with the state university. 1t is true
that the matter has been settled for
some time. but when the site of the
college is purchased. as is the case
In this instance. and the plans for
the buildings are ordered, the ma
chinery of action is set in motion. The
popularity of the American people
is that they want to see action.
There is always certain amount of
preliminary work to be done in such
undertakings. and until this is out
of the way, the actual work of con-
struction can hardly begin.
Now that Wesley college is an as
sured fact it is well to consider what
its advantages to the city and to the
educational interests of the state at
large will be.
Locally the selfish and waterfalls
tic advantages are among the impor-
tant considerations. As a city the
advantages or even the needs of an
institution of learning in which the
elements of a religious life are the
cardinal principles. may not have been
given the same considerations that
have those of the commercial spirit.
It has been the desire of the city to
prosper because of the location. not
by taking advantage of the institution
itself. but of the opportunities which

Fertile in Expedlency.

"A fertile-minded agent. now one Of
the widest known life insurance Of
fees in the country. was trying to sell
a client policy on which the agents
share of the first premium was $500.
The client desired the policy, but he
wanted a rebate of $1,000. and this the
agent was willing to give. The agent
was casting about in his mind for
some method Of hiding the rebate,
when the Office cat-they were in the
clients office CHANGED to rub purr-
ingly against his leg. He looked down
at the cat and his method was ready.

exclaimed gravely. my wife loves

The only proper way of disposing
of the city garbage is by burning.
The method employed by some NUM-
cipalities of selling it for food for
hogs may be all right-when the peo-
pie who are aware of it do not know
ingly eat the pork. There should be
a garbage furnace capable of c0nsum-
ing all the matter taken from the city
and the city dumping ground should
be forever abandoned

THE "MARSHALL" FREE ALCOHOL
BILL.

The Herald feels called upon to
defend the contention that Congress-
man Marshall is entitled to whatever
honor there may be in the passage of
the Payne free alcohol bill, and there
by, in its zeal born of ignorance of
the facts in the case, places the gen.
tleman whom it would serve in most
unenviable position. and one which
his real friend will deprecate.
AS usual the Herald argues from a
false premises to a wrong conclusion.
In justice to the real trainers of that
measure it is but fair to state that
Mr.. Marshall is entitled to no more
credit for its origin and passage than
is the Heralds editor-save that he
(MarshalD made speech in its favor
and voted for its passage.
The truth Of the matter is simply
this: At each session of congress for
several years past bills of similar
nature have been introduced, but
have been pigeonholed or else allowed
to quietly die in committee
Early in the present session Con-
gresham Marshall dug up one of
these old bills and, recognizing its
merits. took the same to Congress-
man Volstead. of Minnesota, who is
regarded as an able lawyer and one
of the brightest young members of the
house. and asked his opinion as to the
merits and dement's of the measure.
Mr.. Volstead proceeded to point out
the Objectionable features of the bill,
substituting several changes The bill
so altered was introduced by Mr. Mar
shall, not one line of it being original
with him. This bill, together with
nearly score of others of similar
nature, was referred to the committee
on ways and means, and upon being
considered by that body resulted in a
new bill being framed by it which was
composed of the best features OF the
several bills introduced on the sub
ject; the only portion of the so-called
Marshall bill appearing therein being
some of the clauses suggested to Mr..
Marshall by Congressman Volstead.
This is the simple truth OF the mat
ter. and the same can be readily veri-
fled by any member of the ways and
means committee or by the North
Dakota or Minnesota congressional
delegations.
The Evening Times has nothing but
the hndliest Of feeling for Congress
man Marshall. but inasmuch as an
erroneous impression has been created
relative to his connection with the
origin and passage of the free alcohol
bill. and one which works a grave in
justice to its real authors, it is i'm
PEELED. in the interests of common fair
ness, to publish the foregoing facts as
they really are.

by the accepted scale of Minnesota,
has been cut to number one and two
northern, and in some instances pos
sibly even below that. The result was
that the North Dakota grain grower
lost the difference in price between
what his wheat actually was worth
according to it's grade and what he
received for it under the grading ac-
corded it.
This state furnishes the greater por-
ton of the wheat sold in Minnesota,
and it would seem that If there is no
recourse under the state laws the i'm
perative need of federal inspection be-
comes apparent.
Under the operations of federal
law the inspection of grains shipped
from one state to another for the pur-
pose of being sold would be inspected
and the grade determined according
to specifications set forth in the fed
eral statutes, and by inspectors ap-
pointed by the same authority. Ma
turally there could be no preferences
or determinations. This state from
its geographical location will never
have terminal facilities. 1t will for
ever be at the mercy of competitor
and without voice in fixing the grade
of its staple, unless relief can be Sc
cured through federal aid.
1t is peculiar that those whose
voices have been raised like one cry
ing out in the wilderness about the
imaginary taking of the peoples
money have never uttered a whisper
in behalf of the plan to prevent the
robbery of every man who sells a
bushel of grain
Senator McCumber's bill to create
a national board, of grain inspectors
and to fix the standard of grades at
all terminal points at which grain is
received in interstate commerce ship
ping, is acknowledged to be the best,
and in fact the only practical remedy
for the evil. This bill should become
q law by all means. and the sooner
its passage is secured the better will
it be for the farmers Of this state, for

A Little Advice.

Ihough your views on things you're
aching
Now and then to give expression,
Though you think you should be MAX
ing
OF your faults frank confession,
Too much talking doesn't pay; it
May be just as well to cut 1t
When your mouth you stretch to say it,
Shut it.
Though you have firm conviction
That the man is simply lying,
Though the late-at-night restriction
You've a notion of defying,
Though your wrath begins to bubble,
Though you do not care who knows it,
stu, your mouth may cause you trouble.
Close 1t.
What's least said is. soonest mended,
Talk is really quite expensive.
Nobody can be offended
If your words are not offensive.
Arguing, explaining, nagging,
Condolences! Can't you drop it?
If your jaws inclined to wagging
Stop it.
