The Great Northern evidently
seems to expect a great rush Of fall
business and consequently short
age Of cars. The problem of car
shortage has always been a serious
question. In order to have every
available car in service, a special
train has been put on for the pur-
pose of repairing all cars on the
line and avoid having them going
to the shops. This train is in
charge of Conductor Ryan and has
car foreman and about 80 men
who go with the train from one
town to the next.
The telegraph system on the
Great Northern is being replaced
with telephones. The Willmar
Division will be the first division
on the Great Northern to use telc-
phones in place Of telegraphy
This system of telephones will be
used only for giving train orders.
There are separate wires and al
together different operation from
the regular telephones. The tele-
phone system will not be ready for
operation until September l, when
the entire division will be equipped
with telephones in place of tele-
graphy.

yard regrets to see Mr.. Mccoy
leave, as the general opinion is that
he has been the best yardmaster
Willmar has had. He leaves here
with the good will Of all the boys,
and they wish him success in his
new position. F. M. Carr from
Minneapolis has succeeded him as
yardmaster here.

Proper Length Of the Foot.

A perfectly formed foot should. ac-
cording to anatomists, be as long as
that bone in the forearm which ex.
tends from the elbow to the joint OF
the wrist. This semes to be abnormally
long in tall person, but Is the meas
urement taken by artists. OF course
arms are sometimes out Of proportion,
being far too short for the general
height, but it is rare that an arm Is
too long for the stature Of the person.

CRISIS IN INDIA

MOTHER uprising in India will
n mean more sacrifice of human
Ar lives and of money earned by
workingmen in the British islands. One
of the old Indian customs was the homi-
cidal progress of the triumphal car
at the feast of Juggernaut. Human be-
ings threw themselves or were thrown
by scores beneath the wheels of a
great car-borne idol and the wheels
crushed out the lives of the fanatics.
The Indian empire has been to the
United Kingdom a car of Juggernaut.
The idol enthroned is Empire" 1t is
not worth while to crush rebellion after
rebellion in order that a few favored
interests and a host of office holders
may be taken care of. The empire in
India was founded by a CRATER, was
maintained for the benefit of grafters,
and would have been restored to it's
native and rightful owners long ago
il 1t had not been for politics, politi-
clans and the alleged necessity of taxi
ing care of the younger sons of para
sitical noblemen. The Indian empire
means nothing to the British working
man. When he sends his sons to guard
it's frontiers and suppress rebellions
he is not patriotic" but invites the
obvious criticism that the alleged Brit
ish lion is sometimes an ass in lion S
skin

WHY?

N HY should there be destitution or
w extreme poverty in the United
States? When granaries are
filled to overfowing why should cup
boards be empty? What force is inter-
vening constantly between supply and
demand and the natural operation of
cause and effect? No one will deny
there is In the United States today an
abundance of food products, an abun-
dance of textile materials for clothing
and of leather material for shoes. In
addition to all this, the United States
is favored above every other civilized
country in one respect, which, one
might think, would put it beyond reach
of the worst influences and effects of
poverty and make submerged masses
impossible. The advantage which our
country enjoys is in the possession of
enough LAND to take care of all the
population classed in cities or over
crowded centers as surplus" which is
to say, "superfiuous." In reality, no hu-
man being is superhuous. Therefore no
greater number of human beings is
superfiuous. Each human being has
his usefulness, If he were permitted to
have an opportunity of being useful.
In spite of ownership by the United
States of an unoccupied arabic land
area capable of supporting large pro-
portion of our population and of wiping
out the unemployed surplus" which
embarrasses Cities the unemployed sur
plus is allowed to clog communities,
making confusion worse confounded,
and hundreds of thousands of young
men, puny, pallid, sickly, weak, are
sitting and half living in crowded tene-
ment houses, while hundreds of thou
sands of young women, who will be the
mothers of q generation of puny and
inefficient citizens, are deprived of
fresh air and sunshine and are cooped
IN in factories stores and sweatshops.
Gradgrind has altogether too much to
say in the United States at present.
Much of the national life is led with
reference to Gradgrind. That national
! efficiency may be impaired and ma
tional vitality diminished must not
enter into the calculations of Grad
grind 1t might interfere with his
bookkeeping! What must be done by
way OF remedy? Why should the
United States continue to tolerate con-
ditions which continually deny that the
! laborer is worthy of his hire, or that
he is entitled to life. liberty and the
pursuit of happiness? What is the gen.
eral idea with regard to employment?
Has the average workingman been
| trained to regard it as his right. his

YELLOW JOURNALISM

n UR great and good friend, Prof.
Arthur Brisbane of the Univer-
" sity of Yellow Journalism made
an address in which he defended his
bizarre and boisterous methods by
saying they are necessary to attract
the attention of the average American.
Mr.. Brisbane's opinion of the average
American is so low that he thinks the
hula-hula dances and raucous music
of the many-ringed Hearst circus ap-
peal to him. Violence, according to
Arthur, is what wins the "average
American reader" We have often
wondered why a sedate New York Sun
man like Brisbane began to dance an
undignified tarantella after the yellow
spider bit him. Now we think we
know. Mr.. Brisbanes estimate OF the
average American is wrong. Either his
judgment is poor or his first patron,
Mr.. Dana, infected him with all his
cynicism without a qualifying grace Of
humor which made Dana. even In his
querulous moments, the most amiable
of men.

LOWERING OF CAR FARE MAY

Editor Herald: don't know enough

fares; then fares at cost of service;
then at last maybe a tax will take the
place of the fare.

free cars would mean ''mobbing,

else is it under the present system on
anything like a holiday or special oc-
casion?
