nifty United Lutheran church who. gath
cred to extend a welcome to the new
pastor, Rev. Martin Anderson, and his
family who are now comfortably set
tied in the 'remodeled parsonage .ad-
joining the church. There was no
mistake about the quality of the recep-
was just as cordial as they could be-.
There was a sincerity about the assur-
ances Of cooperation expressed to the
new pastor which must have made
hin feel that he was right glad that he
had accepted the call to Moorhead. The
happy affair was planned by
President .Aasgaard of Concordia col
lege who has been frequently supply
ing the pulpit of Trinity since the de-
parture of the Rev. John Peterson, who
the Rev. Mr.. Anderson succeeds.
The formal address of welcome was
by Atty. G. d. Dosland who was
most happy in the expression of the
fluctuations of the occasion to the new
tendent of the Sunday school, was most
in the expression of welcome
on behalf of the children of the church.
The message from the urch in Far
was. delivered by the Rev. e. r.
Anderson. Appropriate responses were
by the new pastor for himself
and members of his family. Music was
during the evening and
there was a service of refreshments
during which there was'a general
meeting with theInew corners.

EXEMPTION BILL.

Washington. March 20.-Arranee-
ments were made pv President Wilson
yesterday to confer in the near future
with senator Hughes nj members of
the house interested in obtaining a
provision In the proposed new anti
trust legislation which would exempt
the. operations of labor unions and CO.
operative farmers organizations from
prosecution under the Sherman law or
other statutes.
The president has not had the sub
Ject before him in any of his confer
ences with members Of either the SEN
ate or house framing new trust legfs-
!ation and'he told finquirers today that
MS views had undergone no change
sundry civil bill. On, that, occasion the
president declared that if he could have
separated from the rest of the bill the
Item providing for an exemption in
the use Of an ANTITRUST fund of labor
unions and farmers organizations, he
would have vetoed it because it placed
upon the expenditure a limitation "un-
in character and" principle"
The president held, too, that other
funds in the department. of Justice
We're available to prosecute labor I'M
If they violated the Sherman law,
and that the passing of the sundry
civil bill would not limit nor in any
partment Of Justice"
The fact that the subject has not
been discussed in any conferences held
by the president with the trainers OF
new trust laws n hat he still holds
the views outlined in his memorandum
taken for granted in many quarters as
an indication of the presidents opposi-
ton to the inclusion of any exemption
provisions In the new legislation.

he backs up this belief by carrying an

Braves Believed Spirit of Medicine
Man Inhabited Picture.

Karl Moon in Leslie's: Several
years ago, l had a studio in. Albu-
querque, n. NJ, and the walls of my
reception rooms and Office were hung
With large photographs Of Indians.
One day |. was visited by. six men of
the Navajo tribe who, after much
smoking and visiting. made known the
real cause of their call.
Directly over my desk was a framed
portrait Of one Of the~old medicine men
Of their tribe. who had just died. Be-
Loving that a part of his soul was i'm
prisoned in the portrait-else how
could it look SO like him-they asked
me if l would not destroy it, so that
his spirit might be released and be at
peace. ...
! Immediately took the print from
the. frame and tore it into bits while
the men looked on with silent APP
proval. After thanking me they each
shook my hand in turn. and filed quiet
ly out Of the room. They did not sus-
pect that there might still be in ex-
istence other copies Of the picture or a
negative.

'BURDICk FIRES
!. OPENING GUN

Grand Forks. n. D., March 90
Honorable Usher l.. Burdick OF
Williston, republican candidate for
governor at the primaries next fall,
|made a brilliant address last night to
a good sized crowd Of progressive re-
lpublicans at the city hall, giving the
Issues on which he expects to be
nominated and elected, and also stat
ing why he was opposed to Governor
Hanna rs ar. executive.
Mr.. Burdick began by saying that
he was a Lincoln republican and a
progressive and that any person who
was not, was not a true republican.
| He. said that the party was founded
on the rights of the individual, but
that it had gotten away from that
view and it was then that such men
as LaFollette began a fight for the
old principles. .a.r..
AS a right for the existence OF the
progressive republican party, Mr..
Burdick referred to the platform Of
1911 and the legislation enacted at
that time, saying that while many
measures had been passed at that
time, that only a short time before
had been considered socialistic and
which have since been Of great bene-
fit to the people as a whole, there
was much yet to be done in that di-
rection.
The speaker referred to period
in the history Of the state when ev-
cry town was looking only to what
would make the greatest city in North
Dakota. He said that residents OF
these towns have now come to see
only the development Of the
state as a whole, will make any city
great. That, he claimed, was his
great issue. rural development, pro-
pressive legislation which will effect
a development of rural communities,
and that is what will confront the
man. whoever he is, who is elected
governor of the state. .s
AS remedies and as planks in the
platform o N. which he stood, he nam
ed the recall of public officials; equal
suffrage; a w~orkingmen's compensa-
ton law; economy in state, county,
township and municipal government;
the reduction of the contract rate of
interest from IL per cent to 10 per
cent; the retention OF the state tax
commissions; the establishment Of a
rural credit bank.
Mr.. .Burdick stated that he was OPP
posed to the election of l.. B. Hanna
governor for q second term be-
cause he was not, a. progressive, be-
cause he was a. representative Of the
minority in the republican party and
could not effect a union Of the or
and because he believed
that the viewpoint of a big business
man was different than what q gov-
should have.

ASSIGN
TAX CERTIFICATES

Cass Lake, Mimi, March 20.-The
local United States a n office has re-
ceiVed a decision from the commission
er of the general land office that is OF
taken land under the Volstead act. h
commissioner holds there is no provis-
ION OF law for the assignment Of a tax
certificate and therefore. the .applica-
ton in question is rejected subject to
the usual right of appeal. -,
The Volstead act made all classes of
public lands in Minnesota which are
subject to entry and entered lands for
which no final certificates had issued.
subject to the drainage laws to the
same extent. n in the same manner
in which lands Of like character held
in private ownership were subject.
Briefly stated, when drainage charges
were entered against. such lands and
not redeemed, these charges could be
bid in the manner usual with ordinary
taxes. ..',
The act provided that purchasers OF
land at such sales must awe the quail
'fcations of a homestead entryman n
not more than t60 acres can be sold to
any one purchaser under the provis-
ion of the act even. if he purchases
land from the state. The state, how
ever, can sell the lands bid in by it to
qualified individuals who might make
the other required payments n SUBJ
NIT proof. of their qualifications in the
usual manner.
IT seems that intending purchasers"of
lands under this. act had been advised
by persons outside the land office. that
lone person could buy "t"% all tho
government lands advertised. but he
could file on but 100 acres: that certi-
icates can be assigned to someone who
has a homestead right" This advice
is in direct conflict with the i~nstruc-
tions given in circular No. 234 of the
general land office which, according tn
the commissioners. decision, Is con-
strued to mean that there. Is no pro-
vision of law for the, assignment Of
such tax certificates. ,-..-
Tt is understood many persons have
purchased assignments Of tax certih-
Gates thinking they could complete en-
try thereby for the lands by paying tho
usual. land office fees and commissions
and SIPS an acre and thus obtain Dat-
ents' without residence on the lands.
