No Occasion to Feel Offended.

Because the postofIlcc department has
Issued an edict making II necessary for
newspaper publishers to collect sub
scriptions from all subscriber over one
year In arrears, is no reason why any
subscriber should feel oifrned at the
publisher and discontinue his subscrip-
tlon for the paper. Newspaper publish
ers had nothing TO do, whatever, with
the new ruling and are compelled TO
obey 1t whether they want 10 or not.
The depar' r'ment has decided to give
publishers until April ist, 1908, 10 get
all subscriptions over year Ia arrears
collected, but the law will be- rigdly
enforced after that date. Those OF our
subscribers whom we have trusted
several years should now b. willing lnd
glad TO return the favor by making
payment on back subscriptions and help
the publisher out Of a dilemma. instead
OF getting cross when they receive q
statement Of account with request TO
please call and settle. Those who give
the matter a little thought will see
that they have no occasion TO get Of
Tended over the matter.
As stated last week we have already
sent out number OF statements and ex-
pect TO send one to every subscriber
more than one year In arrears, but
those knowing themselves indebted,
who have not received statement yet,
will save us work and expense by calling
and paying same.

FIREMEN DID GOOD WORK.
They Should Receive Compensation for
Their Work at Fire

A large number OF our cltizens have
been giving our ilremen deserved praise
for the excellent work done at the fire
Friday night, Hud IL not been for the
good water pressure and the effective
work Of the flremen the destruction
of property would have been much
greater than IL was. On account OF
the cold and storm the fremen suffered
considerable, yet they stuck bravely
to their post and shrked not at all, and
this hard and dlsagreeable work was
done without pay because thc nremen
are loyal cltlzens who are willing To
make sacrifices and endure hardsbips
to protect the town from the ire fiend
A paid fire company could not have
worked harder to protect property.
While the borough Golfer would not
warrant the paying Of annual salaries
to the members Of the flre company,
yet VIZ believe provision could, and
should, be made for paying the flremen
for actual work done at a fire. Surely
no one would object TO such propo.
sltlon? The fire company is worthy
OF more than kind words.

COMMERCE Law

ST. PAUL, Oct. 24-Three amend

panies alleging nconstitutionality of
the Interstate commerce acts of con-
gress under which the interstate COM
merce commission ordered a reduc-
tion in the freight rates on lumber
from the Pacific coast, and also as
serting that the rates alleged to be
excessive were justified by reason OF
the increase in the value of forest
products occasioned by the depletion
of the forests, the increased value OF
southern yellow pine and of the white
pine Of Minnesota, wisconsin and
Michigan.
The amended bills recited that the
enforcement of the reduced rates
would entail loss upon the railroads
Of 5 cents per 100 pounds, and IL
some instances more.
