WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 81, 1907.

Some of the anti-railroad politi-
clans, like jacobson for instance,
seem to think that a special session
Of the legislature would scare the
railroads into being good, for fear
Of more drastic legislation. Seems
to us that if the federal courts can
block what legislation we have now
on the ground that it is confscatory
it would be a waste of effort to pass
still more radical measures. Per-
haps if the legislature were in ses-
sion the roads might agree to an
other compromise-good until the
legislature had adjourned. We
might as we'll acknowledge that we
are up against it, until the usur :
patton of power by federal courts
has been ended or the entire power
Of regulation has been given to the
federal government by a constitu-
tional amendment. Then "control'
will have fair field, and if found
unsuccessful the way will be opened
for federal control by ownership
which will probably be the ulti-
mate outcome.

Pleads for Justice TO ThreSherS'
Association.

In the northern part of our coun-
ty there is quite little excitement
among the farmers over a so-called
''threshers' trust' that is reported
by the "non-union" threshers to
have been formed for the purpose
of raising the price Of threshing.
If the Tribune will kindly allow me
the space, l will try to state in a
few words the object of the Broth
erhood Of Threshermen, as the
''trust' is properly called. The
question of price is not the object
and can never be, inasmuch as it
will be impossible to fix an associa-
ton price that would suit the differ
ent conditions over any extent of
territory. In this locality we are
threshing oats a half cent below the
price in any other locality repre-
sented at the last convention, but
we are satisfied and shall not try
TO make raise until conditions
change so that we have to. We
want and need the goodwill and
patronage of the farmers and know
that the only way of getting it is
to be fair and give the best possible
service at as low a price as is con-
sistent with good work. The main
purpose of the association is to
bring thresher, dealer and manu-
facturer in closer touch with each
other, thereby getting a better
price on machinery and supplies
and avoiding the paying of exor-
bitant prices to INSCRIPTIONS agents
and hardware dealers; to build up
an organization where all worthy
members can participate in the dis
cussion of those practical problems
upon the solution Of which depends
their welfare; to foster fellowship
and brotherhood in place Of the cut
throat rivalry there now exists. We
have in every locality some unscru-
pulous threshers that make it their
business either by SANDER and false
hood or rebating and job work to
cut into another mans territory,

KILLED BY LIGHTNING
Two Men on Great Northern
Fencing Crew Struck Near
Grove City Thursday.

Andrew Mortenson and Peter Pc
terson were killed by lightning dur
ing the severe electrical storm which
broke late Thursday afternoon, and
John Edblom miraculously escaped
the same fate. All are residents of
this city.
A fencing crew which included
about ten of our men was at work
on the G.. N. right Of way west of
town some miles near the Mrs. An
drew Larson farm. When the rain
began to fall the men sought cover.
Seven of the men took to the small
residence or shanty on the Larson
place, while the three who were in
the rear, Andrew Mortenson, Peter
Peterson and John Edblom, seeing
that they could not make it before
the rain, entered the shed used as
a barn. At first they stood near
the opening, but the rain drove
them back. They then took a seat

Thus they sat during the storm and
until the lightning flash came which
shattered out the lives of Morten-
son and Peterson. John Edblom
was stunned and dazed by the shock
and thrown toward the door, but
recovered himself in a moment.
Meanwhile his two companions who
had fallen on either side of him ex-
pired, having been instantly killed.
Some Of the men in the residence
witnessed the fatal bolt and has
tening to the shed pulled the bod
les from the structure, which had
caught fire and was burning fercely.
Both Of the men were consider
ably burned; Andrew Mortenson
about the head and chest, burning
his clothing, the fluid escaping to
the ground thru one foot which
was split and the shoe torn. Peter
son was burned about the back. The
bolt entered the ground thru the

Called Home

The home of Magnus Monson was
visited last Tuesday by the newt
able Reaper of souls. Miriam Mir
anda, a beloved daughter and Sis
ter, was taken seriously i'll July rs.
The case was puzzling one for
several days, but finally developed
into brain fever, and the doctors
pronounced her condition hopeless.
The child lowered between life and
death for about three weeks and
often seemed to be rallying, but
finally on Aug. Is, death relieved
her from her suffering and bore
her to her Maker. Miriam Miriam
da Monson was born at New London
January IS, 1881. All of her six
teen years were spent in New Lon
don, and on May 10, 1907, she was
confirmed into the Swedish Lutheran
church. She was loved and hon.
ored by her every acquaintance.
She leaves a sorrowing father and
mother, and five sisters, Laura, Es-
Their, Hattie, Florence and Rhoda,
who will miss her from the home
circle, and numerous friends in the
community where she was so we'll
known will miss a sweet girlhood
friend. New London Times.
The funeral occurred Thursday
afternoon, Rev. Gustaf Peterson of
Willmar officiating.

The telegraphers of the country
are out on strike, and this means
that transmission of news is to a
great extent tied up. Without en-
tering into discussion as to the
question at issue between the COM
panies and the strikers, one can see
that there is a third party, more
important than either of the 9TH
ers, namely the public, and this the
greatest factor has nothing to say
in settling the strike. 1t seems
that the American people should
sometime wake up to the utter fol-
ly of letting a few allied corpora
tions own and control a great pub
lie utility like this. In modern
business methods the telegraph and
telephone are just as important as
the mails, and there is just as much
reason for the government running
these more rapid means of commu-
nication as for running the mails.
Those who remember the A. R. u.
strike in 1894 will remember also
that the u. S. mail trains were al
lowed to go on when every other
form of railway traffic was absolute
ly tied up. The interests of the
whole people are too big to be at the
mercy of few millionaires and a
few thousands of their employees.

thereby driving him out of his home

thereby driving him out OF his home
territory and possibly compelling
him to resort to similar practices.
= There need be no secret made of
the fact that such methods have
been practiced here lately, and |
wish to say to you farmers that if
you encourage such methods you
are running the threshing business
and it is self-evident fact that by
so doing you are hurting your
selves. One of the principal OBJ
jects of the association is to do
away with this vile practice and
with the cooperation of the farm
ers it would be an easy matter to
do so. Patronize your home thresh-
erman, pay him fair price for his
work, give him a chance to pay for
his rig and keep it in repair and he
will serve your interests at least as
we'll as any wildcat thresher that
has to leave his home territory or
resort to rebating to get work.

TWO NOTABLE PREDICTIONS.

Mr.. J. E. Nolan, editor of "Bev-
erages," the official organ of the
National Liquor League of America
in the issue of August 2, 1907, con-
cludes an editorial with these sig
nificant words, which will be in
tensely interesting to every saloon
fighter in this country:
1.-The result in Georgia presents
no pleasant outlook for any section
of the business. That state in its
judgment has treated all alike, and
no false notion that beer should be
allowed to hold on has been enter
tanned or brought forward.
"We dislike to acknowledge it,
but we really believe the entire
business all over has overstayed its
opportunity to protect itself against
the onward march Of prohibition,
which in some sections of the coun-
try is advancing like a prairie fire
with not hand raised to stop its
progress.
'For years we have sounded the
warning of the impending storm.
For years we have argued for or
ganization and for years we have
in season and out of season, pleaded
for unity, harmony and cooperation
among all branches of the business,
but all efforts on our part and on
the part of others has resulted in no
good.
"Five years ago a United Indus
try might have kept back the sit
uation that now confronts it, but
today it is too late. Might as we'll
try to keep out the Hudson river
with whisk BROOM
prohibition is ceasing to be a
local question. It has taken on a
political aspect in Kentucky, Ten
nessee and other. southern states.
The time seems to be rapidly ap-
preaching when both the democrat
ic and republican parties will have
to take their stand on the subject.
IF the democrats and republic
ans in the states already named
have been forced to see the the ne
cessity Of the thing, who shall deny
