SUNDAY DANGEROUS DAY
FOR TOURING MOTORISTS
HOW TO AVOID SOME OF THE

There ought to be burned into the

Hundreds have gone down to watery
graves because they insisted on stand
ing, up in a boat, trying 10 change
places in the boat while in the middle
of a lake or river. or by some idiot
trying to scare the girls by rocking
the boat.
The boat never was made that
would not tip over, and people thrown
into the water with their clothes ON
have very little chance of escape.
Then there are swimmers who take
too great chances, remain in the wat
err too long, and occupy the honor
place in the funeral following.
People who go out to ride on d Sun
day in their automobiles, and the
number Who go out are way up in the
hundreds of thousands, are presumed
to ride for pleasure. There is no oc-
casion for breaking the speed limits.
The country that God made md is

most people would like a chance to see
and enjoy it. But when n is half the
time in the air between bumps. and
poles are chasing each other

comfort nor pleasure.

EASTERN
ROADS GOT
ADVANCE

Washington, Aug. alive per cent
increase in freight rates between Buff
falo, Pittsburgh and the Mississippi
river was granted by the interstate
commerce commission in its decision in
eastern advance freight rates case. All
increases east of Pittsburgh and Buff
falo denied. No increases granted on
lake and railroads.
The railroads which applied for the
interstate commerce commissions
permission to raise their freight rates
were the fifty-two lines in the terri
tory east of the Mississippi and north
81 the Ohio and Potomac rivers. The
increase asked was 5 per cent. just
half the increase which these same
railroads tried to get approval of in
1910 but failed.
1t was deemed that public sentiment
desired a prompt decision of the new
application, and the interstate COM
merce commission Immediately insti-
Willard of the Baltimore & Ohio.
President Delano of the Monon sys-
tenn, George Stewart Patterson, gem
eral counsel OF the Pennsylvania, and
other prominent railroad officials gave
testimony. Louis d. Brandeis of Bos-
ton. representing the commission and
the shippers, was one Of the leading
1OoLSSl III Opposition.
The contention of the railroad man,
ayers was that In the last three years
the railroads had spent $500. 0o0. 900 in
new capital. but that in 1913 the earn
|ings Were SIC, 000, 900 less than In 1912:
that the greatest increases in railroad
expenses had come about by higher
wages, taxes and new investment in
the properties; that conditions were
such that the New York Central had
since September, 1913. been forced to
lay off $4,000 men; and 1t was strongly
intimated by some witnesses that I'M
less the situation was relieved the
railroads might have to ACCEPT gov
eminent ownership al the only alter
native.
The opposing contentious were In
|effect that the railroads were COM
stantly enjoying higher revenues; that
they spent more on improvements last
year than any other year in history,
that one terminal alone, built at q cost
of $108.000.o0G would have built an
entire railroad from New York to Chi

Chicago to Protect Gold.

Chicago, Aug. 8. The Chicago
Clearing House committee met to
make arrangements for placing the
banks of the city on a clearing house
certificate plan. The sixty days no.
tice clause for the withdrawal of
savings bank deposits was placed in
effect throughout the city. John ).
Mitchell of the clearing house COM
mittee, and president Of the Illinois
Trust and Savings bank, explained the
situation.
THE expectation of gold to Europe
in the last few days has begun to be
felt here. If he had not taken this
action, Chicago would soon be
emptied of its gold. There is no
cause for alarm. As soon as we OBJ
tain h supplies Of currency under

Anxious for
Fargoans Now Abroad

Fargo and Moorhead are largely
represented in the foreign capitals
where preparations for a general Eu
Korean war are going on. Like other
travellers abroad, many of them
Americans, the local voyagers are
having their troubles. Checks are i'm
possible to cash and it is impossible
travel without currency. Although
no fears are entertained as to the
bodily safety Of Americans, Fargoans
are thought likely to encounter many
difficulties before they reach home.

successful flight in this very machine.
This is an historic event. The first

fails at first and makes a new machine;
but here the first has proven itself.
Would that Langley could have lived to
see this machine soaring!
1t is said that congress would not
appropriate sufficiently for Langley.
Money was always forthcoming for in
struments of death, but not for air
ships in their beginning. Had congress
helped Langley and his workers, be-

In the hardest fought game Of the
season, Perley shut out the Moorhead
White Sox yesterday afternoon on
the Perley grounds, by a score of /

The game was a great pitchers bat
tie, Perley getting two hits. But four
men managed to reach first base while
the White Sox got three hits and put
seven on base.
Colliton of the White Sox was the
only man who was able to solve
Jacobson's shoots, successfully getting
a single and a double out of four times
up to bat. During the first seven in
nings not a man got farther than Sec
ond but. in he last of the eighth Perley
broke this when the first man up
singled, went to second On a passed
ball, was sacrificed to third and went
home on an error.
This gives Perley a record of nine

CROP OUTLOOK GOOD,

What a remarkable stand of grain
you must have had two weeks age. You
surely would have had a bumper crop
If the conditions a remained the
same. However, grain in the Red River
valley Is the best there Is in Mime
sota. I never saw better standing of
oats and barley and the wheat Is good.
There are portions where the grain is
lodged, but it will be cut and average
portions is ripening grain so fast it
will not be entirely filled out. The hot
weather Of the past week has had no
effect upon the grain In this section of

ton of Scriptures hitherto misunder-
stood by them.
Today Pastor Russell's text was,
"And / will shake all nations, and the
desire OF all peoples shall come
Haggai 81.
The Pastor began with the declara-
ton that the only proper contentment
is that which is combined with godli-
ness and which sees from the stand
point of Scripture the Divine Power
able to correct the difficulties which
assafl mankind. Thus instructed, the
cody believer Is able to appropriate
the Divine promises of providential
care. and so can be content with condi-
tons which are not satisfactory.
On the other hand, lie declared, those
who either do not know of the Power
Divine, or have lost their faith in Oh
vine Wisdom, chafe more and more
under present conditions. The more
discontinued they become, the greater
is their tendency toward ungodliness,
doubt of the Divine Love, Wisdom and
Power. self-dependence is a poor sub
s%titute; and as disappointments come,
those inclined to co~mbativeness find
anger, malice. hatred, envy and strife
surging through their minds. Then
they become rabid Socialists, and are
IN a fair way to become eventually
rabfd anarchists.
Again. the speaker continued, we
have those who term themselves Chris
han Socialists. These welLmeaning
souls perceive the situation OF their
brethren and say, yes, the world
should be transformed socially. It's
riches should not flow. as at present,
into certain favored channels, but
should be scattered everywhere for the
general refreshment and comfort OF
mankind as a whole" This class
philosophiEe on what God surely would,
and surely would not. approve amongst
men, and then declare that all Chris
tians should at once set about to BE-
cure to the world of mankind q just
division OF Gods bounties.
The love and zeal OF this class for
right principles we should admire and
commend, the Pastor said. But we
cannot commend their course, their
hopes. their preaching. by which they
seek to obtain the ends desired. Recog-
mixing the principles of Divine Justice.
they seek to apply these, forgetful
that they have not the Divine wisdom
necessary to q proper application.
l The Soriptursl View of the Matter.
Next was shown that this class seem
% forget also that human Justice has
been the same for several thousand
years past, and that Divine Wisdom
has moi yet seen ft to establish Divine
Justice amongst men. IL they think
that this is neglect on the part OF the
Almighty which they are wise enough
to recttfy, their thought is evidently an
one. IL, on the contrary.
they believe that the time for the e.
tablishment OF justice has now come.
they should be able to find a Divine
revelation DO this effect and point it
out to us--one practically authorizing
them TO take their stand for Socialism.
and explaining that the due time for
the prosperity OF Justice has now come.
and telling how they shall proceed and
what will be the outcome.
