stated that not only are Seventh Day
I'Adventists opposed to Sunday Legis-
I'lation, but also thousands of others
who love religious liberty.
In giving further reasons why his
denomination is opposed to- Sunday
legislation, Elder ]. E. Carmichael
said:
Our denomination has always stood
for the entire separation of church
and state, and has earnestly opposed
all attempts at religious legislation.
Sunday laws we believe to be religi-
GUS laws; therefore we are uncom-
prisingly opposed to all legislation in
behalf of Sunday observance Sun
day is religious institution; it's OBJ
l'servance is religious act a law en-.
forcing that observance is a religious
law; therefore we believe it should
not exist in this country We would
be uncompromisingly opposed to any
legislation for the enforcement of the
seventh day of the week. The Sab
bath is a religious institution. and
Its observance is a religious act and
from our standpoint it, would be en-
tirely wrong for the state to attempt
any legislation for the observance of
the seventh day of the week The |
same may be said regarding baptism,
prayer. or anything else pertaining to
religion. We believe that Christ the
founder of the church, taught the
complete separation of the church
from the state. and this. we believe,
should be the attitude of every pro,
fessed follower of him.
Now. as to our attitude regarding
a law to close the saloons on Sunday:
1t is well known by all who know any.
thing about Adventists that they are
uncompromisingly opposed to the sa-
loon on all days of the week We be-
lieve that they are a menace TO the
welfare of the state, and that they
should not be permitted to carry Oh
their destructive work; therefore we
join in every movement to secure laws
for closing the saloons entirely"

Similar resolutions were passed in

Sunday legislation.
Elder J. e. Carmichael said the
reason Seven Day Adventists are 80
vigorously opposed to the Johnston
Sunday Bill in Congress is because
the passage OF 1t would be the first
step towards the union of church and
state, which would ultimately bring
persecution upon dissenters. It was

NATIONAL HIGHWAYS.

The suggestion of system of nat
'onal highways is meeting for con-
siderable encouragement and when
the American people begin to com,
rrehend how much the development
of interior points depends upon rot
only good roads but a well devised
system which is national in its scope
and which insures uniformity that
can come in no other way, there Will
be demand for national highways
which will compel building of such
on broad scale.
Canada is undertaking state con.
struction of Highways on a scale that
commands attention. Ontario, the
wealthiest and most populous prov
ince in the Dominican, last year voted
$5,Oo0,000 for highways, and $50 miles
Of new road have been constructed
and 720 miles improved. Now a plan
IS under consideration looking to a
province-wide system Of roads, first
consideration being given to the older
and more tricky settled districts,
while new territory is to be benefited
later. This is in line with the spirit
that has found expression in furnish
ing railroads and canals as facilities
for better transportation. Liberal tx,
penditure in those directions have
brought satisfactory results, and the
investment in good roads will prove
profitable. What Canada is doing
serves to remind US of what Michigan
is talking of doing.-Fargo Courier.

cision Of the whole matter virtually IN

expressed a willingness to arbitrate.
and the question was. reduced to, the
selection of the form under which that
arbitration should be conducted, there
was every prospect that there would
oe no strike, but that some form Of
arbitration would be agreed to. This
has taken place, and the arbitrators
representing the two sides have al.
ready been chosen. The selection OF
the third man will be made as quickly

bill 414 introduced by Representative
Stenehjem Of Mckenzie county. and
which calls for an appropriation of
$4,000 to have North Dakota repre-.
sented at the centennial exposition 10
be given at Christiania, Norway. dur
ing the year 1914. Mr.. stenehJem ad-
vocates the passage Of this measure
because it will give North Dakota a
representation in a country that will
result in some great benefits for this
from Norway to North Dakota. They
have made thrifty citizens, and by
their sturdiness and progress have aid
ed materially in the development If
this new commonwealth. Mr.. Stene-

NORTH DAKOTA MADE GOODS.
In view of the statewide campaign

In view of the statewide campaign
inaugurated by the Fargo Commercial
club, urging North Dakota goods for
North Dakota people, there IS con-
siderable significance in the article
which was published in The Forum
day or two ago, that Devils Laks
had specified that posts made by d
Fargo foundry wer to be used in Its
new white way system. The contract
called for an expenditure of $l2,9as
and of this, it lis estimated that about
$4,000 will be paid for the posts.
Another item of equal significance
was published in The Forum yester.
day. 1t stated that metal culverts
"made in Fargo" are to be used in
the construction of 500 miles of good
highway in northern Minnesota.
In both these instances the Fargo
made goods were in strong competi'
ton with goods from larger citiss
and they won out because they had
merit. They were able to "stand up"
alongside all the competing goods in
the open market. In both instanc IS
Fargo also had the advantage Of be-
ing nearer the point of delivery.
The Forum is informed that Devils
Lake also took into consideration the
fact that it would "keep North Da-
kota money in North Dakota,'' to
spend it in Fargo rather than send it
to the twin Giles or some other plant.
This is characteristic of the Devils
Lake boosters.
They are live wires in the satanic
city. They believe in Devils Lake in
the lake region and in North Dakota.
The metropolis of north central
North Dakota is fortunate in having
a citizenship composed of progressive
hustlers who are awake to. every op.
portunity to boost the "home" com.
munity. No city in the state has a
more loyal bunch of boosters. Ano
they are putting Devils Lake con the
map" in way that will make all the
other cities in the northern part of
the state step lively to follow the
Face.
The Forum believes that it was a
very wise move to make tho homo
production campaign state wide. It
has already borne fruit and will con.
time to do SO. Fargo should BE- big
enough and broad enough to take in
the entire state in movement of
this kind, and there should not 10 tie
least hint Of exclusion of any product
made anywhere within the confines Of
the state.-Fargo Forum.
