The Standard Oil Company has
come out in print with its side of
that famous lawsuit in which it
was fined 1919, 24O, 900. 1t tells
why it is an unjustifiable fine in a
30 page pamphlet hailine from
Sioux City. Our idea is whether
right or wrong, the Supreme Court
at Washington will hardly approve
such n fine under Il state law.
which comes so near being of the
nature of contiscation of a mans
property. II it was a fine impos-
ed under a national law governing
corporations, it would stand some
chance of standing. AS between
the Standard Oil Company and
the Railroad company which
transported the company's oil. we
think the railroad is the guilty
party.

RACE SUICIDE IN THE MIDDLE
CLASS

''The sociologist, lay the charge
of race suicide at the doors of the
muIti-millionaires,' writes Anna
Steese Richardson in an article on
The Influence of the Business
Woman's on Home Life,' in the
November Woman Home Com
panion. "Why do they not in
vestigate the family conditions in
the great middle class, from which
are drawn our most successful
women? Here they will find the
great source of danger to the
PRONUNCIATION of the human race.
To-day it is the young women
and the mature women-of the
middle class who are turning their
backs on the home wherein lies
Americas hope of future great
ness. And for what? To ex-
change the birthright of woman
hood, wifehood and motherhood
for the mess of pottage known as
a business career. Wherein lies
the nations greatest menace-race
suicide"

Tnc Orient SD Argus of last
week publishes the address which
WAS delivered by Governor Coe l.
Crawford at the Inland WATERWAYS
convention recently held at Mem
phis. 1t commences with the
following suggestive "Reminiscences:
"A few years ago IL dealer in
wool living in Pierre. S. d., wish
ed to ship 10000 pounds of wool
from there to New York city.
Upon inquiry he learned that the
freight rate was over 81 per 100
from Pierre to New York. while
from Sioux City. Iowa. about 200
miles down the Missouri river be-
low Pierre, the rate to New York
was so cents per 100. Steamboat
traffic upon the river between
Sioux City and Pierre was very
light and irreoular-only one or
two boats making the trip in an
entire season. This wool dealer,
however, rather than pay the
exorbitant railroad rate, succeeded
in hiring a boat to take his wool
from Pierre to Sioux City for 40
cents per 100, including placing it
on board cars for New York.
BY this means he shipped it from
Pierre to New York for S1.2O per
100 instead of 50. The next year
the railroad company was forced
by the threat of river competition
to reduce its rate from Pierre to
New York to S1.15 per 100, which
has since been the rate. This is an
instance of how a waterway cap
able of floating commerce may be
a constant check upon a railway
company. even though 1T actually
carry little or no traffic.

Rev. Myrland States That Here
on Earth it Will Pass, But
Not in Heaven.
WORK IN THE VALLEY
Rev. Hunt Believes That Much
Will Result From Present
Revival Movement.
WORK IN THE VALLEY

Service at the NJ. E. church last
night was fairly we'll attended. The
music was led by Paul Gladstone, and
many of the stirring revival songs
were sung by the audience. Rev. E..
l.. Myrland preached the sermon; his
subject was The Day of Visitation"
and he took his text from second
Peter 2:12, But these, as creatures
without reason, born mere animals to
be taken and destroyed, railing in
matters whereof they are ignorant
shall in their destroying surely be de-
stroyed.,'
Day of Visitation.
He said that the day of visitation
differs just as people differ in nature,
employment and custom. With some
the periods of life would he long, with
some, very short; an hour a day; a
month; ten years, etc. They could not
tell how long, but that period contain
ed their opportunity to find out God
and serve him. How foolish was a
person to fritter away the day of his
visitation, thinking that he was mill
ionaire of time. God knows the time
he have to live, because every secret
thing is open to his eye. This revival
campaign furnishes day of visitation
for hundreds of people in Grand Forks
and all this valley.
Some people seem to think that the
evangelists are here for the purpose
of earning money. Certainly the la
borer is worthy of his hire, and what
ever the evangelfsts make out of this
they will have returned full value for
it, but their supreme motive as all
right minded men know, is to win
souls from darkness to life and from
ignorance to knowledge of Christ.
Lack Of Personal Work.
He referred to the fact that even
though these special meetings had
been in the city two weeks lacking
one day, he was visiting in a family
yesterday who were not aware that
a revival campaign was in progress.
Evidently there had been lack of
personal work in canvassing and adj
vertising these meetings in the var

expressed surprise that men in their
business who had been denounced 30
often with extreme bitterness as foes
of society should at last be recognized
by a Judge as men of human impulses.
At the close of the meeting Abe Davis,
one of the saloonkeepers, moved a vote
of thanks to Judge Cleland, which was
carried by a viva voce vote.

Former Alderman John Bennett, who
Keeps a saloon at 514 Morgan street,
next to the Maxwell street police sta
ton, blamed the wives for much of the
unhappiness with which Judge Cleland
deals. q
The saloonkeepers do not want,
drunkards in their Saloons" he said.
They are nuisance, but We have to
put up with them. If a man goes home
intoxicated his wife is apt to drive
him out. and he has no place to go but
to some saloon, probably one in which
he had not been at all during the even

band in and take care of him, these
