GOOD ROADS MEET
TO BE BOOSTED
COMMERCIAL CLUB APPOINTS
COMMITTEE TO WORK FOR
RousINe SESSION IN FARGO
THIS CONGREGATIONAL Ex-
Hl5ITs TO BE SECURED.

One of the principa. matters Of
business to come before the meeting
of the Commercial club yesterday af-
ternoon was the discussion regarding
the good roads convention which is
to be held in Fargo this summer, the
exact date to be set by the CONNER
cial club at some later date. A com
mittee consisting of G. A. Whee' ock,
Hubert Harrington and w. j. Price,
was named to work with Ed Litton,
secretary of the N ID. Good Roads as
ISOLATION for a rousing session at the
coming convention.
The matter OF holding the good roads
convention during the state fair was
discussed but did not meet with much
favor. 1t was thought by several
that this would not be practicable.
The week of June 81 was discussed
and win probably be the week selected.
1t was the general opinion that this
will be one of the most important
meetings that have been held in Fargo
this year and that the movement will
continue to grow with agitation. All
the members are in favor of better
roads and they ar, heartily behind
the coming convention.
A move will be made to get the ma
tional government to send their road
experts hSre with exhibits and some
experimental road building viii prob
ably be done near this city.

HOW 1T WAS DONE.

Williston State: There is a funny
little story Following the meeting of the
editors of the state when Williston was
chosen for the midsummer meeting.
Grand Forks wanted the editors to
come in the glad summertime, and the
commercial club of that city sent a
committee down to Fargo to secure the
prize. The Herald and The Times
were represented, the former by Editor
Davies and Manager Wilson and the
latter by Norman B. Black, who has
made such a conspicuous success of
The Times and made it so widely read.
Wilson tried in his own way to land
the convention, and Black tried out his
own plan. There was individuality
in the movement of each. Wilson
did what was like Wilson and what
Black did was like Black. And
against these two political Shadows
the poor frail editor of this paper was
pitted with only his friends to give
him comfort and Colonel Bloom to act
as official bottle holder. Through the
desire of the people to see Williston
and know more of her hospitality
the real, COW country kind, the city
of opportunity won out, and then Col
onel Black came up among the lions
and the lambs in number forty-nine
at the Metropole and held our hand
and told us that he would come to see
us in the glad summertime when the
mosquitoes are thtckest, dressed in
his Scottish kits. and romp in the
meadows and do other things to his
hearts content. And we told him that
he should sit at the right hand of the
spigot and be duly honored by the
people of this section 1t was just a
perfect love feast with Dave Carlson
of Bottineau; Pete Edwards of Fargo
and George Landon of Henron, look
ing on and helping some,
Then the funny thing happened. The
Herald told It's story of the conven-
| ton, spoke of how Grand Forks had
won the next meeting of the editors
and told it's list of those present. And
1t didn't mention Colonel Black. Not

Ministers and Politics.

This is a familiar theme just now,
observes the Universalist Leader, and
has been made more keenly interest
ing by the observations of a traveller
making a comparison of the activities
Of the ministers of this country and
England. He says: "In England and
Wales the ministers of religion are the
leaders of political thought and they
exercise a powerful influence in the
municipal affairs of the country. Here
in this country it seems to me that
politics is left to a very large extent
in the hands of the democracy and
thus the Christian church and minis
ter seem to be separated from the
political world; and this fact appears
to me to account for the corruption
that exists in the political life of this
country
OF course there are good many
ministers in this country and a good
many different kinds. Some have TO
be kept in glass cases! But there are
others, and a good many of them, too,
who, while not advertising 1t, are Civ
ing a great deal OF their time to work
that is distinctly and practically po-
Iitical. The minister today very gen.
orally stands for the application of
his faith to the whole man, and a just
canvass of the workers in our pulpits
will place most of them, all of them
worth counting, in the ranks of wise
and efficient workers for the best in
politics. And If they do not go out
and carry the torch in the parade.
