Of this statement that the commission Is
not employing anybody or any agency
to combat the railroads. What is want
ed is Observation-Disclosures facts from
unbiased sources, and an unbiased ex-
pert who can digest the reports and ar
guments for precisely what they are
worth. The idea held by the commission
ers is that they want to occupy to the
end a position of complete imparuality
and to be free at all times to call for
light and technical explanation. 'tOn the
face Of the returns as the saying Is.
the railroads seem to have the best of the
contention, though their representatives
are at great pains to avoid saying word
suggestive in the fainteSt degree Of fore
knowledge of the result
If the commissioners give favorable
finding for the petitioners, well and good.
If not, then "woe is" The idea Is voiced
hereabOuts quite freely that an adverse
decision would have a decidedly beariSh
stock market and general business effect.
That kind of gossip. it might be remark
ed, is rankest speculation. generated
seemingly by mischief makers.
Immigration Figures Good Omen.
The official record shows that from
January last down to November II the
number Of immigrants who landed in the
United States was l 259,O17, as compared
with 933. 1919 during the corresponding
period of 1912, an increase of 325.51s. 1t
is a rule among the experts to regard
immigration statistics as q sure fore
shadow of national labor conditionS-the
free inflow OF immigrants meaning good
times next year. and a return How of
foreign passengers in large numbers the
reverse. This years figures are there
fore looked upon as a good omen.
Underwriting of bonds and shares is
a phrase of financing that has recently
gone into decided disfavor. Until quite
lately popular bankers and bond brokers
subscribed for an entire issue, and then
farmed out the amount among a favor
ed combination of good people. who
would be an active aid in the distribu-
tion of the goods to the public The
prices allowed for quite a comfort
able division of fat profits. Latterly,
however, there has been a general de-
mand that the subunderwrft:ng be stop
ped, and the brokers be content with a
thinner margin. 1t has been no unusual
thing this year for solvent corporations
to sell new bonds to promoters and un-
derwrters at 92 to 80.
Baltimore and Ohio gives an object les
son that Is to be remembered. Its an
nual report for the fiscal year ending
June 80 last showed gross earnings of
$1O1, 10000. an increase of more than
SO 100000 over the preceding twelve
months. This handsome increase was
offset, however, by corresponding
swollen expenditure Of about the same
amount in enlarged wages greater taxes
and the spending Of several millions on
damages due to the disastrous floods
last summer. The total loss on that 40
count was over 100000.

Louis and San Francisco inquiry eicited
the announced intention from the COM
merce boards counsel to use them as an
argument against rate increases. Stock
market sentiment is sens tive to all
signs pointing to the way i'm which the
freigh. question will be settled.
The expected crisis in Mexican re a
tions receded again, and this influence
was of less force a market factor.
Amendments to the currency bill left
its final form still uncertain and its
definition delayed.
The inactive speculation proved that
most factors in sight already had been
discounted.

While the administration bill pro,
poses eight regional banks, the con-

again in the senate Monday with

The republican senators will prob
ably not take up the currency bill as

there were no plans for a republican

Accordingly Scott urged that the

CREEGAN'S
DESIRE

The resignation of Charles c. Cree
gan, D. D., as president of Fargo COL
lege, which position he has held for
the last four years, was officially &C
cepted today by the board of trustees
of that institution, which was in ses-
sion all day at the Gardner hotel.
Appropriate resolutions crediting
DR.. Creegan with the accomplishment
of much work were adopted by the
trustees; expressing appreciation of
his services as president of the college
in the time he has been its active
head.
DR.. Creegan's resignation was ten
dered the board of trustees within the
last few weeks, causing much surprise
everywhere except within a, few cir
cles where.it + In said it. had been ex-
pected for some little time. Shortly
following the congregational conven-
tion in Kansas City, DR.. Creegan's
resignation was filed and 1t has been
the general supposition that he has
been engaged as secretary for one of
the important church boards He ask
ed for a release from the presidency
of Fargo college Jan. l, 1914.
Successor Rumored.
At 2 o'clock this afternoon it was
authoritatively stated that no name
had yet been brought before the trus-
etes for successor to DR.. Cregan and
it was not believed that any would be
chosen at this meeting, which may
probably last until late tonight.
Several names nave been suggested.
One of these is that Of John w. Han.
sci, who is vice president Of the board
and financial secretary of the institu-
ton. There IS much uncertainty about
this, however.
Mr.. Hansel has been prominent in,
the general work of the Y. M. C.. A
before he came to Fargo. Other names:
have also been suggested, most of
them being the names of men, away
from here.

The financial condition Of Fargo
college was the theme Of discussion
this afternoon. The affairs of the COL
lege are known to be in not first
class shape and it is the effort Of the
trustees to make them so.
Present at the meeting today was
Gov. L. B. Hanna, who has been a.
trustee for a number of years. ..,

Courts says the decision, can also
take judicial notice Of the fact that
tobacco, taken in any form by the
young, is Injurious, and that snuff is
especially so.
The title Of the act. which relates
to snuff only, is broad enough to In
clude substitutes for that product,
thus making the supreme court de-
cision even more sweeping than was
the finding of the district court.
The plea that the law singles out
of certain alleged vice without abol-
ishing others, the court says. is un-
sound, as mo criminal should be al
