Mr.. TuttIe Steps Down and
Mr.. MeIIen Takes His Place
WISHED TO BE RELIEVED
Merger Of Boston & Maine with New
York, New Haven & Hartford Now
Eifectiye-TuttIe Will Go
Abroad.

Boston, Sept. l4.Lucius futile yes
teaday resigned the presidency Of the
Boston & Maine railroad. Charles
s MeIlen, president of the New Ha-
ven railroad tonight Is acting presl-
dent Of the Boston & Maine, with all
the powers Of president.
Mn. futile retired because Of i'll
health and also because he believes the
New Haven should assume the direct
responsibility Of the administration Of
the Boston s Maine. He is granted a
leave Of absence for the rest Of his
term.
Ever since the New Haven company
acquired actual control Of the Boston
s Maine system, there has been gem
eral expectation that President futile
would retire at an early date AT the
last annual meeting Of the company Mr..
futile announced that he believed the
time had arrived for the New Haven
company to take tile active direction Of
the Boston & Maine but in compliance
with The request of the New Haven di-
rectors he consented to remain as pres
dent for another year
While no official statement was is-
sued, it is understood that DIR Tutte
viii remain a member Of the board Of
directors Of the Boston \ Maine
The placing Of Mr.. Mellen at the head
81 the Boston & Maine means the practi-
cal contamination Of The merger Of that
road with the New Haven which has
generally been accepted as a fact Tor
the past year or more
The movement Of this merger be-
gan when the New Haven purchased
controlling ownership bf the Bess
ton & Maine stock. When the Mas
saehusetts courts practically forced it
to relinquish this stock, it was sold
to John L. Billiard Of Meriden. Conn,
ard later was acquired by the Boston
Railroad Holding company, the organ
ization was authorized BY the last ses-
sion of the ssaehusetts legislature.
Holding this stock as security, the
Holding company was authorized to
issue bonds to the amount OF S2,000,005,
the proceeds OF this sale TO be used for
the Improvement OF the Boston & Maine
property. These bonds, by the terms Of
the legislative act, could be sold to any
railroad company operating in New Eng
land and they were purcha ed by the
New Haven company. Thus the New
Haven railroad is owner in all but name
Of the Boston s Maine.

THE DEMOCRATIC MACHINE.

Our good friend, COL Bloom. of the
Devils Lake Journal, replies to the state
nent that the democratic party OF the
state is being bull, up into strong and
formidable O. yanizalion by the JudIt'ol'' ,
use of state patronage, with the state
ment that the people OF the state don't
care anything abru, who gets the Of
fees.
We don't profess t" know just how
the majority Of the people of the state
feel on that question. But We merely
desire to have it understood that the
professions of nun-partisanshlp by the
democrats OF this state are not borne
out by the record.
The Offices which from their nature
can be valuable in the building of 4
democratic machine are filled by demo-
Gratis. The United States senatorshp
went to a democrat. in state which
is overwhelmingly republican, and the
people, who elected republican to fill
the senatorship, got democrat when
death removed the choice of the people.
The gamewardenships, the oil inspect
orship, the bank examiners Office, the
various places that have patronage to
dispense, are solidly in the hands of the
democrats, and are cogs of the state
democratic machine.
The Tribune does not pretend to say
that the state administration of this
state. when it is in the hands of the
democrats, has not all entire right to
put democrats in office The people who
elect a democratic state administration
ought to expect nothing else.
But the average citizen ught to real
ize that the public professions Of non
partisanship by the democratic leaders
of this state are not borne out by the
record The democrats are building up
the best kind of machine they can for
their own political benefit, and the rec
ord shows it.

THE REPUBLICAN PAR1Y'S REC.
ORD,

The democratic campaign orators If
this state are urging republicans to for
sake their party and vote the democratic
ticket. The democratic party is the par
ty of opposition. 1t has no policy. 1t
has meyer had consistent policy for the
administration of affairs. 1t has no
pride of ancestry or hope of posterity.'
In contrast with the promises and plat-
tudes of the democrats is the republican
record. 1t is admirably summarized by
President Taft in recent address:
In the pursuit of promises in its ma
tional platform the republican party. in
the short period of eighteen months,
presented to the public as an accom-
plished fact the following important leg
islation and executive action:
The powers of the interstate COM
merce commission were enlarged. The
commission was empowered to suspend
any proposed increase of rates until the
shipper shall have chance to be heard
as to its reasonableness. Interstate tele-
graph and telephone companies were
brought within the regulation of the
commission.
A new court of commerce was pro-
vided, in order that shippers and rail-
ways might secure prompt decisions.
Railway employees were protected by
new safety appliance law.
The employers liability act was per-
fected.
An inquiry into workingmen's COM
pensation for injuries received was in
stituted.
An inquiry into the issuance of rail-
way stocks and bonds was inaugurated.
A new customs court was established
A postal savings bank system was
authorized.
A corporation tax was adopted, which
is an important source of revenue and
new and effective method of assisting
the government in supervising corpora
tons
Two battleships were added to the
navy.
A bureau of mines was established
Seventy million acres of the public do
main were legally withdrawn from en-
try
Twenty million dollars in bonds were
authorized to complete reclamation pro-
jects, after board of army engineers
now at work should complete its in
Bismarck daily tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1881-1916, 1910-10-06

the most splendid fact in all human his
tory The fact that the God whom men
have feared, the God whom men have
thought SO far off that they could never
approach him, so far off that he could
not possibly have any interest in them,
the God whom men have bowed down
before as power, or have reverenced as
wisdom, or have obeyed in fear as
justice-the fact that this God has en-
tered into a human life and filled it full
of himself, so that i'll that one human
life there is transcendent revelation
of his nature-I repeat it, this is the
most splendid fact in all history. How
can the human mind and heard con-
ceive of greater thing than that? In
finite wisdom and infinite justice and
infinite goodness and infinite love-wis
dom and justice and goodness and love
transcending al human Imagination
STOPPING down to taking a finite form
and living in finite life in order that
he might reveal himself to men, and in
order that he might fill mems life full
of himself. That is gospel. That is
glad tidings.
Zone has given us the illustration of
the invalid in her room seeing the sum
light painting its little So uare upon the
carpet, and knowing that the world
without is flooded with sunshine, though
it gives her but one little square foot
of sunshine. So through this window
of one human life the sun of Gods love
sfone into the life of Paul and he knew
and you and may know, that the whole
universe is flooded with the love that
filled that one brief life with love from
Bethlehem to Calvary This is big
truth. 1t has been to big for the faith
of men and SO some have spoken of him
as messenger bringing the message of
the great king: and some have thought
Of him as a strange conglomcrate char
