THAT INTERESTS ARE
NOT IDENTICAL,
IS SHOWN
crookston Paper Discusses
Row Raised By Duluth
Against Freight Rates.

Crookston Times: It was mention
in :. recent issue CT this paper that
the merchants and all other business
interests were taking considerable in
terest in the proposed action of the
Duluth and twin city jobbers in
threatening an injunction against the
railroads restraining them from maxi
ing effective a reduction in the COM
modify rates to the inland distribute
ing centers. called for by the order
of the railroad and warehouse COM
mission OF May Srd.
Through the continued discussion in
the various papers OF the valley con-
corning the thoroughly selfish motive
that prompts the Duluth and twin
city jobbers to take this action the
people of this section are being made
to realize more than ever before that
their interests and those of the cit
les mentioned are not identical. 1t is
only natural to assume that their at
titude in this instance is reflection
of the position they will assume in
any subsequent move that might be
made, either voluntarily by the rail-
roads or through the railroad and
warehouse commission, that will re-
suit in the development of this Sec
ton or render any assistance in the
upbuilding of distributing centers
through the elimination of unfair
rates.
The recent order of the railroad
and warehouse commission did not
contemplate discrimination against
the above mentioned cities and if
those jobbers had given intelligent
study to the schedules as prepared
and which have been ordered. they
would clearly see that their present
attitude is unwarranted and that the
recent TRADE on the commission by
the Stone. Ordean Wells Co. was en-
tirely unjustifiable.
There is not a more impartial body
serving the state of Minnesota than
its present board of railroad and
warehouse commissioners and anyone
accusing them as was done by Mr..
Rust not only of incompetency, but
of wilful discrimination, should be
made to substantiate such charges.
AS previously stated, this matter of
reduced rates for this section was
brought before them by our local job
bers, Finch, Winslow, Carlisle Co., on
January %. and as their order was
not issued until May 3 for reduc-
ton to all inland points. it is not
reasonable to assume that their
schedules We're prepared hastily or
without thorough knowledge of the
matter under consideration.
The state Of Minnesota should re-
gard itself as particularly fortunate
in having a railroad and warehouse
commission who stand for nothing but
honest and equitable treatment to all
interests that come under their juris-
diction, for this is what it has. Any
one who is personally acquainted with
our commission knows that in the
administration of their official duties
they recognize no section nor would
they tolerate any legislation that
would revert to the welfare of any
part of the state at the expense of
another.
1t is to be hoped our friends, the
Duluth and twin city jobbers will re-
consider their eminently unfair stand
in the matter of rates and realize
there is more to the state of Min
nesota than St. Paul. Minneapolis and
Duluth.

The report that was circulated a
hOmesteaders would not be allowed
the six months construction residence
any more proved to be false. The
ohcials at the Minot and Williston
Offices have assured people that no
such order has been issued. AS long
as settler gets his residence estab-
lished within six months after filing
and then lives on the. land eight
months continuously he can prove up.
1t Is only in cases where people break
their eight months residence that
they will have to go back on their
claims and put in fourteen months
continual residence.

GOOD ROADS OR NO
DELIVERY, IS
SLOGAN
Postoffice Department Says
That Carriers Must Have
First Glass Roads.

A slogan has gone forth from the
postoffice department that is having
a wonderful effect throughout the
country. 1t is, in concrete form:
Good roads or no free mail delivery"
The time has arrived when the
government practically can dictate it's
own terms concerning the rural de.
livery of mail. When rural free de-
livery was established about a decade
ago, there was scramble among
congressman to induce the postoffice
department toi give their districts the
benefit of the service. The DEPART
ment officials knew very little of the
difficulties and in some instances
the actual dangers-to be encounter
ed by rural carriers. Many routes
We're established through the in1u.
ence Of members of congress in vari-
Gus parts of the country that eventu-
ally had to be abandoned, because the
roads, during at least a part of the
year were absolutely impossible.
Through experience. the department
officials learned a good deaf about
the work of the rural carrier service
One of the first requisites of efficient
rural mail service it was found. is
6oOu loduS. LII ldCt. eApSrleNCS has
demonstrated conclusive!y that unless
the reads are in excellent condition it
Is waste of time and money to try
to maintain prompt natl service
over them
Finally the subject was taken up by
the postoffice department with the Of
ficials of the, agricultural department,
in which good roads department is
maintained. The two departments,
working in conjunction, have accom-
piisiled wonders in the improvement
OF country highways. They have been
assisted materially, too. by many auto
mobile clubs in cities, particularly
cities of the east. 1t is matter Of
concern. OF course, to every owner or
driver of an automobile that the
roads in the territory in which he
lives should be kept in fine condition.
The influence of both urban and rural
residents, therefore, has been cast in
favor of the maintenance of good
roads, because 1t is to the interest Of
both that the highways should be
kept in the best possible condition.

ADYENTISTS' Loss
FROM DISCIPLINE,
SAYS |. H. EVANS
Elder at Takoma Park
Defends Mrs. White
and Teachings.

Elder /. H Evans, Of the Seventh Day
Adventists Church. at Takoma Park, to-
day declared the following dispatch from
Battle Greek. Mich, to be entirely err
roneous. so far as the statements are
concerned regarding the motive in eS-
pelling certain members.
The dispatch says:
BATTLE CREEK. July 12.-How long
will Mother Ellen G. White. the
prophecies and the Seventh Day Ad-
ventist Church weather the storm OF
doubt, of outright unbelief. and of accu-
sation now assailing the adventist cult?
''On this question hinges the future ex-
isteEce of this powerful denomination in
the United States. The Seventh Day
Church. through their elders. is casting
outs devils-eXpelling from membership
ell those who. through progress and
modern thought, refuse to accept the
words OF the prophecies as being die
tated by Cod.
Moreover. the elders OF the church,
alarmed at the proportions of the scot
fng and heresy, are charged with re-
sorting to forgery of prophecies to
scare, with promise Of eternal punish
ment, the boldly thinking and revolu-
tionary members back 10 the original
faith, for only by resigned acceptance
OF this faith can any OF the ex-com-
municated gain admittancc TO the fold.
Seven hundred members Of the one
church are slated for accommodation,
which is already proceeding from day
10 day. And thus far none has bent
his Will 20 the demands Of the elders.
zone expelled member. c. s. Childs, Is
now preparing to test in the courts the
right OF the Seventh Day Church 70
cast him out"
Mr.. Evans says the church there has
a membership OF about 800 but that
some months ago the census showed
that about 500 or 1000 OF these members
d idnot live near the church. and did
not attend TO their duties as Seventh
Day Adventists. The church notified
them that they must keep the elders
informed Of their whereabouts. and give
a general account of themselves as
members. Repeated warnings 10 this
effect were sent out without avail and
when the elders saw that their efforts
were meeting with no success. IL was de-
termined to drop the recalcitrant mem
bers from the rolls. This, Mr.. Evans
says, is what IS now being done.
Mr.. Evans strenuously denies that
Mrs White or any OF her teachings are
responsible for the action of the elders.
He says such a thing has never been
done IN the history OF the church. and
tina tsuch a report is entirely without
| foundation.
