DEBORAH RURAL CARRIERS.
Raise in Pay August list for Some
OF Them, Two Get No Raise.

The eight rural route carriers
out of Decorah have had some food
for thought since August 1st. They
had been anticipating a raise in
salary, and some of them did get It.
and some did not. The carriers
have all been drawing $91.66 dur.
ing the past year. On August 1st
four Of them were raised to 500 a
month, which gives them $1,000 a
year. One carrier got an SIS per
year raise and another one $76,
while two didn't get any raise at
all. No doubt it makes them won
der why they got sighted by the P.
NJ. general. Whether or not they do
not do quite as much parcel post
business on their routes as the 9TH
ers, is the reason, we do not know
At any rate the grade of pay seems
peculiar, when all the carriers cover
practically the same amount of ter
ritory.

Editorials And Editorials.

The Manson Democrat complains
of the lack of editorial comment in
so many country papers. 1t says
shey may be profitable, but they
are mighty uninteresting. 1t has
always been a question whether a
vigorous editorial policy on the
part of the country weekly pays
but there can be no question as to
the duty of newspaper to express
itself on matters of public policy
The difficulty is to draw the line be-
tween editorial service and political
harpooning says the Manchester
Press. The tendency to use the edi-
torial page as bludgeon is not pro-
nounced as it was twenty-five or
thirty years ago, and with greater
restaint has come greater influence,
Vehemence and epithet produced at
last their own anti-climax, while
candOr tempered by moderation
possesses quiet strength un-
disturbed by invective. We have in
mind a number of Iowa papers thus
edited, and they have long been to
us something to admire and to re-
spect.

Big Crowd Enjoys Concert Yester-
day. Large Number DecOrah
People Present.
at LA CROSSE IN EVENING
RUSHFORD, MINI, TONIGHT
1t Was the Bands Centennial Con-
cert in Spring Grove, Which
Made the Occasion
Memorable One

The Luther College Concert Band
appeared at Spring Grove yesterday
afternoon and gave their Centennial
concert in that city. Something like
$50 people were in attendance and
of course the concert was greatly
enjoyed. They went to La Crosse
for an evening concert and tonight
they play at Rushford, Minn.
A large number from Decorah at
tended the concert. Prof. Preus ar
rived here Monday and accompanied
Prof. Savre to Spring Grove where
he Joined the band again and will
accompany them on the balance of
the trip. The band will arrive home
Aug. 18th and two big concerts
will be given, one in the Grand
opera house and the other on the
college grounds.
The band made a big hit in Mil
waukee last Wednesday evening,
playing in park before $4,000
people. The following concerning
the concert is from the Milwaukee
Journal:
A record-breaking crowd of 32,-
900 was brought to Mitchell park
by the Luther college concert band,
Decorah, Ia. Sixty young musicians
played program of exceptional
merit in most finished manner.
The band was we'll organized, carry
ing instruments often wanting in
organizations of greater renown.
The reed section is particularly eff
cient, and in Grieg's Peer Gynt
Morning and Anitra's dance CON-
tain. The bass section was as full
and rich as the reeds were mellow,
and was particularly noticeable in
Liszt's second Hungarian Rhapsody,
which next to the Peer Gynt Suite
was the most artistically produced
The program was preceded by
the college anthem and the first
encore was compliment to the
state, On Wisconsin. The chorus
appeared in Dudley Bucks On the
Sea and Kjerulf's Last Night.
The band stopped in Milwaukee
on it's return from Norway, where
it played at the big Morse anniver-
sary celebration.
The event was the biggest thing
of it's kind, arranged under private
auspices, and open to the public,
which has ever been held in Milwau-
kee. The plan was to have the con-
cert in the Auditorium in the event
of rain This building would not
have held a fourth of those who
filled the beautiful park. The menu
bers Of the band, no less than the
local committee in charge, were
elated over the extraordinary turn
out.

DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY.
Prof. Oscar l.. Olson Receives he.
cree of Doctor of Philosophy
At University of
Chicago.

Prof. Oscar L. Olson and famil,
arrived home Friday from Chicago
where the professor has spent the
past school year at the University
of Chicago.
The Synod granted him a year of
to study and he entered the Univer.
.sity of Chicago in June last year
completing his work in June of this
year. He had previously studied
FIVE summer quarters there, and
also spent one year at the University
of Minnesota and received degree
of A. NJ. there. In June this year
he received the degree Of Doctor OF
Philosophy in English Literature
and English Language at the Uni
yersity of Chicago. The minimum
requirement for this degree is three
years of post graduate work and a
dissertation. The dissertation must
be contribution to knowledge and
must be published. Prof. Olson's
dissertation is concerned with the
older field of English literature.
l This honor coming to Prof. Olson
is likewise great honor to Luther
College, where he graduated in
1898, and since 1901 has been a
member of the faculty.
Receiving this great honor and
accomplishing the task in three
years reflects great credit on Prof.
Olson. because very few reach the
coveted goal in three years, and
many try five years, or more, before
they succeed. Doctor Olson's many
friends extend sincere congratula-
tions to him on his success. 1t is
g distinct honor to Luther College
and Decorah.
The two sons of Professor and
Mrs. Olson have been attending
school in Chicago the past year. The
many Decorah friends of the FAM
lily will be glad to have them back
again.

Condition is Serious.

Ed Brakeman remains in a seri-
Gus condition at his home west of
the city. He has been troubled
with gangrene in one of his feet,
and the physicians seem unable to
check the disease. Last week Dr.
Kessel, of Cresco, was called into
consultation. OF course where
there is life there is hope, and we
sincerely hope Mr.. Brakeman will
recover his health.
