The TRAVELLERS
TO Be WATCHFUL
THEY WILL KEEP THEIR EYES
ON THE RAILROAD TO SEE
WHAT WILL BE UNDERTAKEN
BY THEM THAT MAY BE HARM
Full TO U. c. T. INTERESTS.

While there has been given out no
authentic evidence that the railroads
contemplate any changes in their reg
ulations affecting commercial travel
ers, it is but reasonable to assume that
such is the case. Facts have been
brought to their eyes they never re-
allied before, and these facts make 1t
plain that the roads are losing money
every day by antagoniZing the sales
men on their lines.
To get things for which they are
c~ontending the travellers must act dis
creetly. First of all keep the personal
| equation out, and hold up in full view
the stern facts in the case. Personal
abuse never accomplishes anything,
but discretion and pointed arguments
have done wonders.
Statesmen Inc carriers are so init
mately related that they should stand
together in the great work of building
up the country. If one party in this
great undertaking is at fault let the
other show it up forcefully but re-
spectfully, and an equitable agree
ment can and will be reached.
While, as stated, it is likely the
roads are considering the serious mat
ter of affording proper facilities to
their best solicitors for business, still
this must not be allowed to produce
any slackness in the efforts. The
travellers must get closer together. for
this, as well as other purposes, and
keep UP the fight until they get jus
tice.
Travelling men have no grounds to
fear defeat at the hands of the roads
for they have as vet only brought into
play a small part of their reserve
force. For instance, the firms they
represent have as yet remained silent
These are ready to speak when the
time comes, and when they are heard
in defense of their road men the car
riers will tremble.
1t is from the pockets of these firms
that must come all the money lost by
the present mileage rule of the roads
If the salesman is handicapped his
firm is a party to the restriction of his
efforts and the latter must bear the
brunt Of misconnections due to REQ
tape in exchanging coupons for tickets
This potent factor-the firms is to
be brought to bear on the situation
and the results are certain.

SCREENS WANTED
ON CAR WINDOWS
ONE OF THE THINGS THAT THE
TRAVELLERS OF THE COUNTRY
WILL MAKE A FIGHT FOR AND
THEY WILL BE JOINED IN THIS
BY THE GENERAL PUBLIC.

A few weeks ago the traveller report
er had an article in this department in
which he advocated a movement on
the part of the commercial travellers
Of the state to secure screens on the
windows in day coaches. One of his
strongest arguments was that many
people are being done lasting harm by
cinders getting into their eyes, and he
spoke especially of a case which had
come to his notice where a small child
had suffered agonies for several hours
as a result of a hot cinder falling into
its eye.
There are many reasons why day
coaches on trains should be screened.
Not the least of these is the reason of
health. Passenger trains go through
all parts of Gountry-throug mosquito
boys, over sloughs, hollows, through
territories infested with all kinds Of
diseases. If there is anything to the
claims of the health authorities that
flies and mosquitoes carry disease
germs, then every time a person takes
a trip in the day coach of a passen-
ger train he is laying himself liable to
contract some kind of a disease.
Not every person is able to take a
Pullman when he wishes to travel.
Fol that matter, not every train car
ries a Pullman, and even though a
mar might be bountifully supplied
with money he would have to take the
same risk taken by his less fortunate
brothers.
The cost of putting screens on the
windows of all passenger coaches
would not be great comparatively
speaking. The railroads W it to
their patrons to give them every pos
sible comfort, and they could not do q
greater or more to be appreciated
favor for the traffic than to put
screens on the windows of every
coach which is carried over the rails
The question of screens is one which
the travellers might well look into be-
tween now and the next session of the
legislature. These boys have secured
everything they have set out after SO
far, and with the proper effort they
could secure a law compelling the
railroads to screen their car windows

PURCELL'S POETRY
In the Watches Of the Night He Com
poses as His Thoughts Turn
Towards Fargo and Home.

DO you know" remarked Pony
Purcell at the meeting last Saturday
night, that the derndest feeling that
a get is to be sitting on top of
a nail key in the stiffness of the night
waiting for a jerkwater train when
Q want to get home. / a that ex-
wanted to get home most awful bad,
for | wanted to see the baby and the
rest of the folks and SO / sat and
pined and as / pinned | started to poet
izing. | never knew that | could write
a cussed word of poetry before, but /
did right well for the first time and
here it is:
Fargo is a grand old place.
Believe me what / say,
Fargo is the one best bet
In this dear old u. S. A.
Her sons would die for the dear old
town,
They thinks she stands alone.
I'm always glad when I'm away
That Fargo is my home"
When Joe read this over before the
assembled hosts last Saturday night
John Forth laughed and was assessed
four bits for not preserving the dig
nifty of his office, and he paid up. but
grunted as he drew the money out of
his pocket. Mr.. Purcell was asked to
put his poetry to music and in case he
can do this and the music is of the
proper jingle 1t will be sung with gus
to at the Crookston meeting of the
grand council by the Fargo lads.

LoYaltY,


When you meet a Fellow traveller,
Who is not a. u. G. T.,
Brace him. 1.
If he does not understand the work
ings, benefits and such
Show him
The protection to himself, his wife,
and children, too,
Its ~elevating moral principles, a les
o he should know.
Brace everyone, young, middle aged
and old.
We want them all as brothers,
Try to bring them in the fold.
Every time there is an opening
To bring one in the lodge,
Fall in.
Don't put it off until tomorrow,
1t may never come again.
Do it then.
'Tis a helping hand you're giving him,
To protect him during life.
Should an accidental death be his,
Twill be a blessing to his wife.
"a ray of hope and comfort to pro-
tect her from all harm,
A neat little sum and nest egg,
When her love, her all is gone.
If you've never braced a traveller, who
is not a U.C. T.,
IEy IT, s.
If you've made many converts, don't
stop,
Keep at 1t.
We are a band of gallant soldiers in a
noble fight.
Don't condemn one as a crank,
Becase you think him tight
Keep after him with the energy
1t would take to sell a bill,
In time you will get him,
And appreciate it, he surely will.
Some men take to the tall timbers,
When asked to spend a cent,
Climb, too.
When pressed too close, he'll double .
And back to earth he'll come.
Come too.
Meet him on the level, go at
Him with energy and grit.
Things that paralyze most people,
Should not astonish you a bit.
The chances are he'll run a bluff,
Call him on every turn,
You'll eventually make him a brother
And honors you'll have won.
w. w. Briscoe.

WITH THE TRAVELLERS

tire evening and the attendance was
excellent, considering the fact that the
day OF the evening of the meeting was
the opening of the shooting season IN
North Dakota and the average travel
ing man is partial to the toothsome
prairie chicken and the things, includ-
ing the outing, that goes with 1t.
There was 8 great discussion over
the question of having a law passed II
possible which would permit the trav-
eler to cast his vote wherever he may
be in the state on election day, for
there is no question that nineteen out
of twenty of the fraternity are put to
q big hardship by having to either re-
main at home from Saturday might
until Tuesday night in order to vote or
travel many miles sometimes to eXer-
else his franchise. 1t means a loss OF
money to the knight of the grip as
well as the house he travels for, The
first of the month of November is al
ways a busy one IN the road and the
traveller needs all the time he can get
The Fargo forum and daily republican. [volume] (Fargo, N.D.) 1894-1957, 1912-09-14

to make his trips, and this having to
lay off for two and sometimes three
days to cast his vote is a hardship that
he should not have to undergo.
The average traveller is the very best
kind OF a citizen, and the best kind of
a citizen Is the man who goes to the
polls n exercises his franchise when
eve he can. He believes in voting and
taking part in everything h a Is
American and one of the big things
that the American brags of is the
right to cast his vote for officers. He
should not be put to SO much trouble
in the exercise of this right, but 1t
should be made as a for him as pos
sible. 1t might be worked out in some
way and a legislative committee has
been appointed composed of Messrs.
Grasse, Powell and Purcell to look I'm
to the matter and report at the next
meeting and if some feasible plan can
be made 1t is more han likely that the
matter will be called to h attention
of the mex legislature. The boys be-
lieve that they should have the right
to cast their ballots on election day
without being put to the loss of money
and time.

Harry Horwitz, the father of the

won't know him when he gets back.
However, he says he is selling lots of
cigars out that way and it keeps him
busy each night counting up his per-
centage. Harry is making a success
of it.
The supreme council endorsed the
movement to have national and state
election days changed from Tuesday
