ONE or THE BEST.

The past fifteen years have prohgnt
wealth of good things to the world
and especially to the United states
| of North America Perhaps If nun
dred men were asked to state what
one thing they considered OF greater
benefit to our people, than any otner
one thing that has come to US since
the civil war, the great majority wouia
unhesitatingly name the fraternal So
cieties, says the Burlington HaWA-
Eye. Their influence has all been
good, and it has been widespread. l.
has reached out into every nook ana
corner of the country and Wherever
the fraternal society has been esta'-
lished there the results are plainly aD-
parent. For the fraternal society
teaches good morals, it teaches indus
try and thrift, 1t teaches patriotism. IL
teaches men to do for themselves ann
it helps them when they are unable 10
do for themselves. 1t reminds nun
dreds of thousands of their duty TO
those who may come after them and
it helps them to provide for those de-
pendent upon them. In short its work
and its teaching are all for the pest-
and it's work is in evidence through
out the length and breadth of the land.
It is still growing in spread and I'M
portance, and no doubt, by and by al
most every man and every woman ~
the land will have been admitted to
one or more Of these societies. And
that will mean less of charity work.
less of everything else that costs pup
lie money, and it will mean more
happy homes, more money in the saw
ings banks, more industry and Thrift
than ever before. May the fraternal
society flourish in the future as it
has in the past, and in all the future.

At the close Of the civil war, the
people of the United States occupied
unique position. They possessed
matchless resources undeveloped and
matchless resourcefulness undeter-
mined. Wisely or unwisely the fact
| exists that for forty years and over
| 1t was the well-nigh continuous policy
of the government to encourage in
dustry. Its motto might be that ex-
pressed: IF any man says he can do
something, tell him to be quick about
1t and the government will cooper
ate." So when dear old General Dodge
and his associates said they could
build railroad to the Pacific coast,
the government said Build rail-
road to the Pacific coast! Why, it has
been considered impossible to build
| respectable wagon road. For years 1t
| was considered impossible to get to
the Pacific coast at all except by
| water. You build railroad. What
do you want?" And the promoters
asked for one-half of the land for ten
miles on either side, and cash sub
sidy. Then the government said: You
can have the land without debate. We
would be tempted to give it to you

building. States were carved out of
the wilderness, commerce developed
and an empire furnishing homes for
millions of people, which might be
called the Rocky Mountain Empire,
Was created
Then somebody said he could build
a silk mill in the United States, and
the government said: you build a
silk factory in the United States! We
produce no silk and the wages are
| higher here than elsewhere. What do
you want?" And those ambitious men
said: 1--WE want raw silk free of duty
and we want provision that when a
! foreigner brings in finished silk prod
ucts in competition with ours, that he
shall put sixty cents out OF every dol
! lar he gets, in the treasury" Then the
government said: go to it; and If
you can't live on that we will make
them put sixty-five cents in the treas
ury.'
What is the result? We import
thirty million dollars worth of raw
silk per annum and pay out more than
| forty million dollars In wages, max
ing it up. These wages are spent the
day they are received for food and
clothes. The merchant pays it out
F, the next day to the producer of food
and clothes, who, in turn, pays it out
again for wages; thus it completes the

BUSINESS MEN AID THE HOME
Funds Provided for Badly Needed Car
pets in Norwegian lutheran
Old Folks Home.

The first part of last week it be-
came known about town that $3.50 was
needed to furnish carpets for the Nor
wegian Lutheran Old Folks Home
recently established in the old Keller
residence, managed by Rev. A. Vatne.
The following petition was circulated
among the Sank Centre business men:
eve, the undersigned, citizens Of
Sank Centre, Mimi, appreciated the
splendid efforts of the Rev. A. vatne
in establishing comfortable Home
for aged people in our city, do con-
tribute the sum noted opposite our
respective names, as Thanksgiving
offering, with the hope that comfort
and happiness may be the lot of all
the occupants of the Home, and that
the fondest expectations of Rev.
Vatne may be more than realized"
The petition was very literally
signed by the business men and in a
