LESSON IN TEMPERANCE.


Duluth Herald: n few days age
two boys who lived at Winnebago
Mimi, both old enough to know better
but young enough to profit by then
lesson if they had had a chance, got
hold of some liquor and drank enough
of it to make them drunk.
Though drunk, they knew enough not
to carry the evidences of what they
had been doing home with them, sc
they went to nearby town of Bryce
lyn to sober up.
1t was evening when they reached
the little town, and they sat down III
a quiet cornor on the depot platform
There they went to sleep.
A little later a through freight train
came FLYING by. One of the boys had
dropped over into such a position that
he was struck on the head and instantly
killed. The other escaped with a shat
tered knee that will leave him cripple
for life.
The poor boy that died as result
of his folly will have no chance to pro-
fit by his lesson, but the other boy
will. and so will thousands of boys that
read of the accident, if they take the
lesson to themselves.
These two boys no doubt thought
they were doing something "smart"
when they drank enough to make their
poor brains reel and to unseat their
reason and Judgment They thought
they were having great time"
Thousands of other boys have
done the same thing, and have been
deluded by the same idea. Most of
them came off better than these boys,
though the final results to many of
them were infinitely worse than the
fate that overlook the poor lad that
was killed.
Habits of this sort are formed from
Just such boyish designations as these
Many a victim of the corroding drink
habit can trace his ruin back to ''larks"
such as this one that had such tragic
results in this case.
1t were far better for them to have
suffered the fate of the boy that
died.
There is stage in the lives of
most boys when they think it smart"
to take drink or two, enough to
make the effects noticeable. There
are always older boys to teach them
how to do it, and to provide the
opportunity for them. These two
boys were in that stage, and one of
them never got beyond it. The other,
hampered though he will be by his
crippled leg, will have a chance to
profit by his lesson.
Liquor is no fit food for babes.
When it is evident to everybody that
it is capable of destroying the rea-
son, character and prospects of grown
men, it is strange that boys will
tamper with it. These two Winnie
bago boys were doubtless lads of av-
erage character and average prospects,
vet it killed one of them and in
jlred the other for life.
The story itself is strong temper
ance lesson, and it needs little COM
ment. 1t shows what liquor will do.
Sober, those boys could prowl all over
a railroad yard, jump on and off NOV
ing cars, and expose themselves to
endless perils, and still come out un-
scathed. Drunk, they were helpless
and abandoned to the mercy of any
peril or temptation that came along.

WILL APPEAL
TO COMMISSION
Farmers and Commercial
Club Take Action on Rates

Relief will be asked by the Com
mercial club and the Farmers union
from the interstate commerce COM
mission. in the matter of freight rates
from here to Portland The present
rate from here to tidewater is now
$3.15 per ton. The two comm tees.
from the Farmers Union and the Com
mercial club, met this afternoon and
this line of action was decided upon.
The rate is outrageous, the committees
declare, and immediate application for
relief will be made.
The committees met for the pur-
pose of hearing the report of Otto
Rupp, their legal advisor, in regard to
the alleged warehouse and wheatbuy-
ers' trust. The report was read but no
action in the matter was taken
After the report was read and dis
cusSed, the matter of the excessive
rates from here to Portland was dis
cussed thoroughly and by unanimous
vote, it was decided that the inter-
state commerce commission was the
only source Of relief from this trouble
The objection was raised that it could
not be decided until too late for help
this fall, but the, attorney pointed out
several cases in which relief under
similar circumstances had been grant
ed Immediately Consequently the
committees decided to ask for aid from
the commission.
