WANT GOOD SERVICE
Grand Forks u. C. T. Will Petition
G. NJ, for Better Train
Service.

As a result of undesirable train
service on the Great Northern rail-
road, the members of the Grand Forks
council of the u. C. T. have taken
steps to secure better transportation
facilities out of the university town.
AT recent meeting of the council the
following resolution was adopted
which will be sent to the Great North
ern officials at st. Paul;
Resolved, that tAe members of
Grand Forks council No. 81 request
the offlcials of the Great Northern
Railway Co. at st, Paul to make some
improvements IL possible In the trans
portation facilities on the Towner and
York branches of the Great Northern
Railway Co., inasmuch as the present
train service of three mixed trains a
week makes it necessary for travellers
who of necessity must make those
lines TO drive forty to fifty miles to
get back to the main line of the Great
Northern or stay at the northern ter
minal of these branches two days. The
present service also delays our freight
shipment and postal service and we
would respectfully request that the
former service OF daily trains be re-
established"

TROUBLE WITH UPPERS
Travelling Man Says Top Rerths Ought

new TRAVELLING man
Woman Writes of the Change and I'm
provement in Travelling
Men.

The Forum has received a letter
from a friend of the travelling man.
The writer of the epistle has asked
that her name be withheld and know
ing her to be a lady of ladies, the re-
quest is complied with.
Dear Editor: In all lines of pro-
gression and .betterment there is no
profession which has so completely
changed its value to social conditions
as that of the travelling salesman.
Time was, back in the dim old past,
when mothers said, Anything, my son,
but a drummer or my daughter, be-
ware of travelling men; they are not
to be trusted"
And when we recall many of them
along about those times when it "just
happened" that six, eight, or more, were
in town at the same time, and of course
had to celebrate In the good old-fash-
Toned way, and break records as good
fellows" little wonder that a good
mother should disapprove Of her son
entering the ranks of folly.
The 'masher," too, was Characters
tic of the trade in those days; a vain,
conceited puppet he was, who regarded
all females as belonging to that class,
of the many or few, who responded to
his coarse taste. and false understand
ing of life's mission. His greatest
ambition those days was to add new
victims to his list Of ''mashes." His
highest ideals were silly fiirtations. and
the narration of masterpieces of fic-
ton" while. the only versatility of mind
hespossessed was getting the best of
the company.
However, this sort Of man once was,
but now no more. The real travelling
salesman, a gentleman, has supplanted
him, almost to his total obliteration.
Even the memory of him shall have
become imperfect So does the world
court utter forgetfulness of the drum
mer" of the past.
The travelling salesman, so nobly and
sensibly, proves himself every whit a
man" that even the most exclusive
society dare not hold scruples as to
the fitness of his becoming a partaker
of its hospitality, as well as recog-
nized benefit to the world.
We cannot but enjoy the atmosphere
permeated by the keen live interest in
all affairs-the wholesome influence OF
that broadened outlook upon life and
humanity, as brought about by these
active, charitable minded men. He is
the life of all trades; in value to most
conditions. his qualifications are great
est; he is the golden link" between
commercial success and individual con-
fidence.

GRAND EXECUTIVE
COMMITTED MEETS
AT IMPORTANT MEETING HELD
IN MINNEAPOLIS COMMITTEE
DECIDES ON BUREAU OF EN-
PLoYMENT FOR MEMBERS or U.
c. ITO PROTECT BUTTON.

Minneapolis Oct. 1.-THE grand ex-
ecutive committee of the United Com
merciai Travellers, of the jurisdiction
embracing Minnesota, the Dakotas,
Manitoba, Alberta and Saskatchewan,
has started a campaign to prevent the
wearing of u. G. T. buttons by those
who are not members of the order In
good standing. The matter has been
referred to the legislative committee
with instructions to draft a law to be
presented at the next meeting of the
Minnesota legislature making it penal
ohense for anyone else than a member
In good standing to wear the button.
The grand council Is determined to
prevent suspended members from
wearing the button, Numerous COM
plants have been received Of late about
persons who have been suspended from
the order for non payment of dues and
others who never were members, wear
ing the button and thus obtaining cred
1t and good will to which they are not
entitled,
The grand executive committee has
instructed ]. M, Dresser, grand secre-
tary of the same jurisdiction, to make
a draft for an amendment to the SUI
preme constitution of the order, estab-
fishing an international employment
bureau. The plan Is to have the order
Itself act as an employment bureau.
At present such work is carried on In
a fragmentary way by councils of the
order and many travelling men are
placed in positions, but there has been
no general unity Of action on the part
of the councils.
The proposition of the supreme coup
ell Of the order to have a system OF
prizes for members who obtain new
applicants for membership, the cost of
these prizes to be betrayed jointly by
the supreme, grand and subordinate
councils, has just been approved by
the grand executive committee of this
jurisdiction.
A complaint concerning the delivery
of mail at Owatonna, Mimi, has been
received by the grand executive com
mittee and IL has been brought tc
the attention of the postal authorities
at Washington.
Grand Counselor James F. Ellis OF
Minneapolis, has appointed the grand
auditing committee to consist Of F,
H. Agnew of Winnipeg; A. D. Shelter
