Have you ever been afraid In the

PEMB1NA, n. D.. FRIDAY, MARCH %, 1917.

Bismarck is having about the hottest
time of it's somewhat eventful life. The
question of whether Mr.. E. G. Patter-
son shall be elected mayor or not is mix
ed up with the blind pig question and
considerable personal and general poll
tics. Meantime Mr.. Patterson has
waived examination on three charges of
keeping blind pig, which latter of
course, his friends claim is nothing but
a political move to beat him at the polls.
At this distance it looks as if Mr.. Pat
terson was in rather hard box for blind
pigging, with no hope except = friendly
juryman or two, while politically it is
anybodys fight. But there will be a
warm time in the old town on Monday
next according to present signs.

Sixty thousand train men have voted
by large majority to strike if their
demands for shorter days and higher
wages are not granted. This has been
previously refused by the railway au-
thorities. The result would be very
momentus if the strike is declared, as
it will affect large part of the roads of
the country. The officers of the railway
unions have it in their power to call or
not to call strike after the vote is
fully counted. The vote counting is
still in progress. Neither party have as
yet asked the general public which is
just as much interested as either, to
take vote or have voice in the matter.
Sometime the public will have more to
say in such matters than either Of the
Others.

they are needed and possible. His sum-

Governor Burke has vetoed the propos-
ed law allowing supervisors to expend
$500 in the purchase of road machinery
without the vote of the people. The
present law allows the expenditure of
SlOO and the governor thinks that en-
ough. AS matter of fact it depends
largely on the township and the super
visors thereof. In some townships
with some boards they would need no
limit whatever, in others perhaps ten
dollars might be the safe limit. Under
these condition S perhaps the governor is
about right.

TRUE succEss-FOR THE BOYS

On Sunday last, at Crookston, there
was great gathering of people at the
ope "a house. Friends from the Twin
Cities, Duluth, Pembina and Grand
Forks and intervening points came with
flowers and decorations, with eulogies
and loving words to do honor to the
memory of w. G. Andrew.
And who was w. G. Andrew? Justan
every day travelling man, who for
twenty one years had been the salesman
of Wright, Barrett & Stillwell, whole
sale paper of st. Paul.
He was not rich, he was not talented,
he was not ambitious, but was simple,
unassuming, industrious and faithful.
He was neither statesman, poet, or
millionaire. To success, as usually
measured, he had little claim.
And yet to him came such honor as
few men receive after death.
The lesson to us is worth moments
thought. Particularly to the young
man lust entering life and who is look
ing forward to high ideals of future
success.
The life of w. G. Andrew and the re-
spect paid to his memory proves that
success in life is not necessarily to climb
to high places. w. G. Andrew in his
simple, unassumlng manner just did his
duty as he went along through the
world. AS he travelled from one place
to another he left bright pathway of
sunshine behind him. He left with all
he met, the feeling that they had been
in pleasant communication with an up,
right, earnest, straightforward Christian
gentleman.
He filed his position in life with the
best he hsd-and none can do greater
than this. That is all that is possible
to the human.
Boys; you can't all be presidents, SEN
ators, or millionaries.
Nature may not have given you the
genius for musician or poet. You may
not be able to write books, you may only
have the '.one talent" but every boy has
the same capital on which w. G..
Andrew started and with which, he
worked. His life. proves that every boy
can round his own life into the perfect
circle Of true success be that circle
large or small.
Life after all is mostly made up of

RURAL DELIVERIES.

Editors Pioneer Express.
In view of the fact that congress has
increased very materially the compensa-
tion of Iural free delivery carriers. 1
find that new interest has been awaken
ed in the extension of rural service in
our state.
For daily service the department
require a petition of 100 names of heads
of families for route "a miles or more
in length, but as rule this service will
be established where inspection shows
about IS families who will become pat
rons.
Petition for tri-weekly service on a
single route are received only when
signed by IS persons, heads of families,
and where petitions are filed for tri-
weekly service on two routes to be SER
ed on alternate days by the same carrier
it is desirable that the two routes serve
not less than $50 families, though in
Exceptionally meritorious cases petition
for tri-weekly service on two routes will
be accepted where but 100 families will
will be served by the two routes, and 1
believe for tri-weekly service cd single
route where; inspection shows about 60
families will become patrons establish
ment will be ordered.
Parties living mile or two from a
proposed route may become signers of
petition and patrons of route if they de-
sire. AS the incpector may use his own
judgment as to the line of the route,
such signers may possibly find them
selves right on the route.
I have taken deep interest in this
subject from my first election to con-
gress, and l believe the extension of
rural service will in all cases cause
great satisfaction in the community in
which placed.
In addition to this, the revenues of
the oficies out of which the route runs
are increased, as such office is entitled
to credit for stamp cancellations upon
letters mailed upon the route, and where
this service does away with the necessi-
ty of maintaining small inland office
off the line of railway, the Office from
which the route starts, naturally receives
the benefit of cancellations which would
otherwise have gone to the smaller office
in addition to which the patrons gener-
ally have much more regular service.
If you are interested in the further
extension of the service in your commun
ity, I shall gladly send necessary blanks
to you or your friends and assist in any
other way in my power.
Very truly yours,
THOMAS F. MARSHALL.
