THE EXPRESS RATE REFORM.

The decision OF the interstate COM
merce commission compelling the eX-
press companies to reduce their rates
for certain classes OF service, aver
aging about Is per cent for the en-
IRE country, and affecting other re.
forms that will tend to improve the
efficiency of the express service with.
out unreasonably reducing the pro-
fits of the companies, will be well
coined by the public as one OF the
most practical measures of reform
that this body has adopted since It's
organization. For a long time a gen.
eral belief in the unreasonableness
of express charges has prevailed, par
ticularly on small packages hauled
shot distances. There has been a
plain lack of proportion between diff
ferent kinds of services rendered, al.
though the patrons Of the express
companies are unable to ascertain the
facts and make a showing in protest,
1t required the inqrisitorial powers
OF the confession to reacl the facts
an dto work out a new order OF
things.
The first thought in such a matter
is that the express companies will
resist the attempt of the commission
to enforce a modification of their
rates: but for their Owl sake they
should decide otherwise. There Is a
marked sense of impatience through
out the United States on this score,
and II would be the part Of wisdom
for the express companies to &C
auisece in these orders, whicn are
based upon sound reasoning and un-
deniable facts, and thus possibly pre-
vent more drastic measures of rate
regulation. If the express companies
do not agree to the scale of charges
adopted by the interstate commerce
commission and to the regulations
which are outlined in the recent Or
der they will strengthen the public
demand for the adoption of the par
cells post system, whereby the Unit
ed States government undertakes to
carry packages at low rates. The
adoption of the parcels post would
hit the express companies far more
seriously than this order, which is
based upon the principle of granting
a reasonable profit.

According to press dispatches in
daily papers in the northern part Of
the state the death of Samuel Adams
at Willlston has occurred. Mr.. Ad-
ans was register OF the Williston
land office, having been appointed to
succeed George Wilson. He formerly
lived in Towner county, and was well
known among a large number of warm
friends over the state, as he had al
ways been an active republican party
worker, and at one time was a Dopu-
lar member of the state legislature.
His death was sudden, aud causes
general regret.

The Binford Times says that farm
ers in North Dakota should begin to
think about the labor situation in the
state this fall. Help will undoubtedly
be hard to get, the scarsity OF men
now being ielt more than 1t has for
a number Of years. Railroads have
work for a thousand or more men
throughout the state and cannot gel
them at any price, simply because
there are no men available. Rural
districts have had a hard time get.
ting enough help for seeding and hay
ing and when harvest time strolls
around there is going to be a big
scarsity OF labor to handle the grain.

ADVERTISING ON ToMBsToNEs.
Widows Method Of Calling Attention
To Her Business.

There are some people who try to
make money out of anything. as the
inscriptions on some tombstone cpl
taphs are frequently censored by the
authorities, a good many have been
passed that are more In the nature
Of puffs for the living than tributes
to the dead.
The widow OF a man who died some
years ago arranged for the following
inscription to be placed over the
grave OF her husband:
Here lies -, dear departed hus-
Oand of -, who now carries on his
business Of general outfitter, and al
ways gives good value. Terms cash"
That is tombstone advertising with
a vengeance, and 1t is not an isolated
case. 1t has been recorded of a GER
tain shopkeeper that he had his grave
dug and the tombstone placed above
1t some years before his death. The
tombstone was nothing less than an
advertisement of his business, for the
inscription ran: Here lies John En-.
erson, the Best Halter in the State
of Ohio" This tombstone, after rails
ing some discussion, was eventually
passed by the authorities.
A Canadian firm went n better
even than this. The head of the firm
in question died, and over his grave
was inscribed on the tombstone:
Here lies Abraham Stokes, Founder
of the Firm of Stokes, Stokes & Co.,
who for many years have manufac-
tured pickles and bottled fruits. Best
of all, and without rival"
The tombstone censors sometimes
refuse permission for epitaphs of this
description to be placed over the
graves of the dead. The widow OF a
we'll known patent medicine manufac-
turer, who wished to erect a tomb
stone bearing a detailed account Of
her late husbands discovery of the
patent medicine in question, found
that the authorities were obdurate in
not allowing the inscription to ap-
pear. Finally she abandoned the idea
of advertising the business, and erect
ed a more suitable memorial, in which
no mention was made of the CONNER
cial life of the dear departed.

Correspondence
:: BALDWIN :
!: :.

Last Sunday, July 14th, a large con-
gregaticn attended the Baldwin Pres
byterian chu3cn. Rev. John G. Cooke.
pastor. Friends from Bismarck, Mr..
and Mrs. French, Mr.. and Mrs. Welch
and family and the Misses Jones, Mrs,
Welch's sisters, visiting Miss Cap
per, and the two Misses Varney, visit.
ing the Misses Rupp, helped to swell
the congregation. Two duets sung by
Mrs. French and Miss Jones and a
trio sung by Mrs. French, Misses
Jones and Capper, accompanied by
Miss WEIGH, we're greatly appreciated
by the congregation. Miss Olga Rupp
accompanied at the service. We feel
greatly obliged to them for their
services. and will warmly appreciate
their coming again.
The text was taken from st. Matth'
ew's Gospel, chapter 10, verse 81. O
Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that kill.
est the prophets and stonest them
which are sent unto thee, how often
would l have gathered thy children
together even as an a hen gathereth
her chickens under her wings, but
We would not.
Mr.. Cooke remarked that the words
of Christ could be interpreted in the
present day not to the individual city
but to the individual soul. He pic
tured Christ standing at the presen'
day, utterng sthe lamentable word;
over the doomed soul, as the inevit
able result of rejecting the gospel, Its
message, and it's preachers. The pres
ent day Interpretation is, he remark
ed: 0 soul, soul, thou that spurnes1
the gospel and rejectest those thai
preach it to thee, how often would
have gathered" thee to my bosom
as a mother 'taketh' her child, but
htou wilt not. The interpretation
carried with it much force. The serv
ice throughout was greatly appreciat
ed. The church is very well ATTENDED
at present and there is a hearty in
vitation to all.

ions OF the new law, will meet at the
capital, Bismarck, next Wednesday,
July "a. The resolutions adopted at
the county committee meeting, ior
the republicans at least, all have a
sound ring 10 them, even though
there Is a great variety OF principles
and pledges set forth. When the
state committee meets here next week
these Ideas as expressed in different
sections OF the state will be consid.
cred, and from them the state plat
form will be constructed, and tle fall
campaign started in real earnest.
There seems to be a desire Tor all
republicans to work in harmony this
year, and judging from the present
outlook il Is safe to predict a graf
flying republican success in North
Dakota at the fall election.

I hold that the terms O! office of the members of the legislature and the eenate expire on January l, 1913. 60 the special session must be held this year.
