HELP THE MAN WHO is DOWN.

To the officers and members of the Far
mers' Union
If more men had helped each other
over rough places since the world began,
civilization and Christianity would be
much farther advanced than it is today.
The obligation to help the man who
is down and out is one of the most sacred
and it isn't confined to your fellow mem-
her in the Farmers Union. In the flrst
place, you don't know when you may DC
in the same fix yourself, and in need OF
assistance. In the second, by helping to
nut a man on his feet you are saving
Yourself the expense of having TO feed
him or his family. So the proposition cuts
from the business as well as the phiian-
thropic end. =.
In this country of quick changes, the
man you give lift today may tomorrow
be in position to help you or the organlza-
ton. So it's good policy, as we'll as PLAIN
matter of duty.
| don't think ever saw man SO Tar
gone in meanness; that would not try my
best to give him even little ray of light
L he man OF the WoilldH WIN 10 Sooe os-s
by society with the cry of "unclean, I'M
clean!" is the man or woman who need
most help.
You are not going to soil your hands
by picking people up out Of the mire'
You're much more likely to soil your soul,
and lose some good opportunities in life
by failing to do it.
One of the most beautiful features about
some of the secret orders is that they never
desert, member no matter how far ne has
strayd from the pathway. That ought to
be the motto of every member Of the Far
mers Union, from the biggest leaders down
to the newest joiners.
We have a good deal of that spirit
now in the organization. The more we
encourage it. the more we enhance the
prestige of the order, and live up to the
principles upon which it is founded.

Men do not cease TO be midi

Let us clearly recognize and ev-

there need be no clash or hurtful
rivalry. It is only when a party trf-

Money is at the bottom Of all
misrepresentation. Not money put

RAILROAD TO
ERECT VIADUCTS

Mandan, n. D.. July 10-At the reg
ular weekly meeting of the city COM
missioners the question of allowing the
railroad company to construct two VIA
ducts and close all other CROSSINGS
was discussed and voted upon. Four
commissioners voted in favor If the
project and one, Commissioner Foran,
did not cast a vote.
Thus the Northern Pacifo is now
free to close on crossing between
Eighth avenue northwest and the Fort
Lincoln pike and at those two places
construct overhead crossings. In all
probability the Fort Lincoln road will
be closed and the crossings be built
on the country rood line, HbouS one
block east of the present road Thus
the two crossings will be only a few
rods less than one mile apart.
That the company means business
this time is shown by the fact that
orders have been received by Peter
Schantz to remove his store house,
which stands south Of the tracks in
the west end Of the yards. A tele-
phone message received recently re-
quests the removal of the arc light
situated on the hill above the Eighth
avenue crossing. Surveying is already
going on there.

it came out how the wicked sopho-
mores of Yale at the time President
Taft was Freshman, hazed him.
When the Yale men discovered Cad
well c. Tyler, of the class of 1877. in
their midst they insisted on knowing
how the class OF TT had hazed the
class of '7s. of which W. Fl. Taft was a
member, and they particularly wanted
to know how Freshman Taft had been
initiated into the mysteries of Yale.
We'll that is not hard TO answer"
said Mr. Tyler. II happened to be one
of the ten or twelve that visited Taft
on mission conducted solely by soph-
ignores. We found him in his room
alone, and of course. the visit Of so
large a delegation of men Of hostile
intent made it's impression. But he
was then, as now good natured.
We were determined on nothing less
than concert, and told Taft that we
would try his voice in song, and we
insisted that 1t should be from no less
place than his study desk and from
there he sang TO us, much to our edifi-
cation and delight. He sang well the
songs we told him to sing. I do not
believe he was molested otter that, but,
at all events. that is the way some
twelve Of us hazed him.
