Dispatches Tell of Wilson's Nomina-
ton of Emil Liner Flaten to Be
Postmaster of Moorhead.

Dispatches late yesterday afternoon
from Washington told Of President
Wilson sending to the senate the nom
nations of a number of postmasters
for different points in Minnesota,
among them Emil Liner Flaten at
Moorhead, for some time cashier Of
the First State bank. =. ra.
For postmaster of Crookston Charles
L. Skoug, a we'll known travelling man
and member of the U. C. T., was NOM
mated.
Generally the appointment Of Lin
err Flaten seems to be approved and
the sentiment is that he will fill the
office with perfect satisfaction and he
was busy today receiving the con-
gratulations of his many friends. The
salary Of the office at Moorhead is ST.
500 a year.. Just as soon as confirma-
ton has been made by the senate, the
business Of arranging the transfer Of
the office from Postmaster Meeker to
Mr.. Flaten will begin and 1t is expect
ed that the new postmaster will as
sumo his position about July 1.
H. L. Buck was nominated for the
office at Winona in place Of George
Tawney, whose term expired eighteen
months ago. This is one Office where
National Committeeman Fred B.
Lynch did not make a choice among
the many candidates, butte put the
whole matter up to Postmaster Gen.
eral Burleson and President Wilson.

formed my definite Judgment of it from
talking with American professors Of
philosophy. It is the idea-partly no
doupt because of the aspiration for
something far exceeding the actual
.hat each member Of society must give
LOT himself or for it the greatest pro-
ductiv1ty OF. which he is capable; in
other words, the maximum return; and
that It is necessary that he should be
lett IN possession of ample liberty to
enable him to do this. That idea has
q large part In the foundation of social
n political liberty in the United
states Of America.
Ne allow ourselves sometimes to be
deceived as to the American ideal-in-
70 the opinion that it is somewhat de-
nclent a that the American philo-
sophy Of life Is almost wholly a ma
terlal one There is no doubt that the
people OF that country-in the large
cues at ieast-live at a great tension.
But the race that is run is not ex-
clusively for money. Money is chiefly
considered as a certificate of efficiency

the view Of others and perhaps of ones

origin may be suggestive Of much to
ourselves. There is already a fine har-
lnony between America and France;

hrmly fixed in that view than before,
Americans are socially idealistic. They

ABOVE all they consider that life was

That, in my opinion, is their dominant

the history of America as a group
or colonies and as a nation. Thus may
be explained the sympathy that has all

HOTTEST DAY-So FAR

Yesterday was the hottest day of
the year, with an official temper
ature reading of 94.S. The highest
point So far was about the end Of
April, when there was a reading
Of about 80. The excessive heat

marked as the mark of humidity
was not particularly noticeable.
However, Moorhead was the hot
test place noted on the map this
morning, the other high points
ranging 80 and 80 at Grand Forks,

Monday evening, were tossed aside
yesterday and straw hats blossom

COMMERCIAL
CLUB EULOGIES

The meeting of the commercial club
last night took the form Of a memorial
meeting in honor of one of the clubs
presidents, Lew A. Huntoon, and the
proceedings were profoundly impress
s1ve and solemn-there was the fullest
realization that there was Just one
vacant chair The meeting was pre-
sided owe by B. F. MackalI the pres
ldent of the club, elected a few months
ago after Mr.. Huntoon's persistent re-
fusal to be considered a candidate aft
er three years continuous service.
At the proper time the chair was
authorized to appoint a committee on
resolutions and Mr.. Mackall named S.
q. Comstock, F.. A. Weld and r. w.
richards. A little later Mr.. Richards
presented the committees report,
which was as follows:
Resolutions upon the death Of Lew
A. Huntoon.
A strong man, a power for good. has
been taken from us. His voice is still
ed. No more shall we rejoice in the
hearty greeting Of Lew A. Huntoon,
or listen to his excellent counsel. The
grave has closed over him, and we
shall see him nc more.
confident and courageous was he,
and of good repute. In all good works
he was first. We are burdened with
grief, but must bow in submission to
the will Of the Most High. To His
tender care we prayerfully commend
the bereaved n sorrowing wife and
children.
Resolved by the commercial club of
the city of Moorhead, that this
ial be spread upon it's minutes and a
copy signed by it's president and secre-
tary be presented to the family Of our
lamented friend and associate.
S. G. Comstock,
F. A. Weld,
R. w. Richards.
The preamble and resolutions were
adopted by a silent standing vote, the
remaining on their feet a
moment or SO with bowed heads.
Addresses of eulogy were then de-
by Rev. H. A. Kernen, pastor of
the deceased, Frank A. Weld, president
the state normal school, and S. G..
Mr.. Yields remarks were
particularly touching and apropos He
disclosed the most intimate study of
the real man as found in the subject |
of his address. Only such a one could
n deliver such an address as
made by Mr.. Weld.
Mr.. Comstock was intimate with
three generations Of Huntoons. He
sat in the legislature with Mr.. Hun
father. The speaker, after
dwelling on the excellencies of Mr..
characteristics, said tina he
never listened to the agitator or dema-
gogue m did not act until he saw
and his politics were always in
with big men.
