''H0LY CITY"
WAS GIVEN BY
LUTHERANS
FAMOUS CANTATA WAS REM
DERED BY CHOIR OF FIRST
LUTHERAN CHURCH IN MOST
PLEASING MANNER AT TWO
- PERFORMANCES.

The beautiful cantata, "The Holy
City," was delivered at the First
Lutheran church in" this city at two
performances, last night and tonight
by the choir of that church, directed
BY their pastor, Rev. Gullixson. The
church was crowded to the doors at
both performances. ~
The melody and harmony Of '"The
Holy City" is beautiful beyond de-
scription, and it was rendered in a
manner that leaves no opportunity for
criticism, and only words of keenest
appreciation were heard from those
present at the performances. Rev.
Gullixson, who directed the produc-
ton, is a musician Of more than ordi-
nary ability, and to him belongs a
great portion of the credit for the ex-
cellence of the production.
The solo parts of the cantata were
handled in a most capable manner by
Miss Stromrud, soprano; Miss Eli
son, soprano; ]. L. HORT, of Reeder,
tenor, and Rev. Chas. Fritz, of Ray,
basso. Miss Stromrud and Miss Eli
son were assisted in a ladies' solo
quartet by Miss Louise Reishus and
Miss Florence Wenneson. All of the
soloists are deserving of great credit
and to single out any one Of them for
special reference would be doing the
others an injustice. Their interpre-
tation of their solos left nothing to be

any way in its production are to be
highly commended for the excellence

it gave the music lovers of the city an
opportunity to hear something really
out of the ordinary.

MINOT is CLEANING UP.

The campaign of the City Beautify-
ing League is progressing finely. Over
the entire city noticeable effort is be-
ing made along the line of cleaning
up. Garbage is being hauled, yards
and alleys raked and refuse burned.
There is, of course, much yet to be
done, but from the way the problem
of cleanliness in Minot is being at
tackled it is in a fair way to be sat-
isfactorily solved.
Much interest is manifested in the
various contests the League is adver-
Using. The rear yard contest is re-
ceiving most attention just now, as its
entry list is soonest closed. Over one
hundred contestants have already
been entered and the secretary gets
fresh additions to the list with every
mail delivery. No entries in this con-
test will be considered after April 80.
Those interested should not delay
sending in their coupon Of entry.

Sewing Machine Repair Man Arrested

Sewing Machine Repair Man Arrested
Harry S. Martin, a young man who
has been repairing Singer
sewing machines about the
city, was arrested on complaint of the
local representative of the Singer
Sewing Machine Co. He was given a
fine by Justice Lynch, on the charge
of disorderly conduct. He paid all the
money he had, Sc, on the fine and was
allowed to go and earn more. Mar
tin was charged with making false
representations concerning the sewing
machines, stating that he was a rep
resentative of the company, and that
people who paid $65 for the machines
were foolish, because he could furnish
them just as good for $35. Martin

appears to be hard working fellow,
and how he came to get into the tolls
those who became acquainted with
him hardly know.

SOUTH DAKoTANs' VOTES.

Commenting on the Lestervile Journals inquiry with respect to
the reason which prompted Senator Sterling and Congressman john
son and Dillon to vote against the eighthour law, the iluronlte de-
clares that his action and that of the two congressman was purely
partisan.
The Saturday News has received no commission to explain the
votes of the republican members Of the South Dakota delegation, but,
otfhand, it thinks it can say that they voted against the measure be
cause it is a rank discrimination in favor OF only one class OF rail
road employees.
That is TO say, its provisions apply only to the conductors, the
engineers. the lrakemcn and the iremen, leaving out that large body
of worlmen who handle the freight, who attend to the work about
the stations, who walk the tracks to keep them IN repair, without
whose help the railroads could no more operate than they could run
run their trains without engineers.
True. the passage Of the law may have averted a strike, tenn
.porarily, but there is no more reason why one class OF railroad e1-
ployes should be accorded the e~ight-hor law than another class who
work equally as hard and as faithfully.
An amendment was offered to include within the bill all railroad
employees, but the administration froWned upon any such proposition,
and under the whip the bill as originally drawn went through with
a Whoop.
cened in the threatened strike. Had it been otherwise it would have
included the other equally deserving railroad employees.
We dom know how we would have voted had the responsibility
been ours, for but few men really know what they would do under
given circumstances without being confronted with the necessity for
doing something then and there, but we certainly think that Senator
Sterling and Congressman johnson and Dillon have no reason to
apologize for their votes.

CHICKENS COMING HOME,

President Wilson is discovering the triteness Of the cid saw that
chickens will come home to roos.
AT this moment we are hearing a great deal about Mr.. Wilson's
sympathies with the laboring men-that lis to say, we are hearing it
from the party organs. Nj. Wilson's activities with respect to the
passage Of the eght-hour law, applying only to a minority Of the
railroad employees. emitting the section men, the shop men, the sta
ton men, the freight handlers. etc, etc. are cited slprove the con
tention that Mr.. Wilson Is a friend Of labor.
In March, 1907, at the Waldorf hotel in New York, Mr. Wilson
was quoted as having said: We speak too exclusively of the cap
italistc class. There is another as formidable a enemy to equality
and freedom Of opportunity as it is, and that is the class formed by
the labor organizations and leaders of thecountry.'
Two years later, namely, in July, 1909, in a public address, Mr.
wilson said: You know what the usual standard of the employee
az ln our day. He is to give as little as he may for his wages
IN ms History of theAmerican People Mr.. Wilson also dis
snsses the labor problem, averring that the Chinese are more to be
teared as workmen, If not citizens, than most Of the coarse crew that
came croWdlng. in every year at our easternports.
But Mr.. Wilson has a right to change his mind with respect to
labor and laboring men, as he has changed it upon practically every
important topic that has come before the country in recent years.
The trouble though, from the laboring mans point of view, is
That Mr.. Wilson changes his mind so frequently as to preclude the
assumption that he will not change It again after election.
There is no present indication of a Landslide to Hughes, al
slough there is reason to believe that the great bulk of the progress
savess who followed Roosevelt in 1912 will swing to the New York
man iii November.

HARVESTING THE MISSOURI.

It's been q sort O. dream with Doanc Robinson-this idea of har-
Messing the mighty Missouri and using it TO light up the cities and
farm homes of the state.
But other dreams have been dreamed and have wrought greater
enterprises. Doane Robinson is likely to live long enough to-see his
dream come true.
There may come a time within the not distant future when the
state itself may undertake to work out the problem OF Harvesting
the Aissouri-we say problem, but it is none: it is merely a matter
of working along well known lines and utilizing well known rrn-
aiples.
The trend for te past generation has been towards patcrnafstc
things. Municipalities have been encroaching upon what had there
tofore been regarded as the domain of private enterprise. Municipal
lighting and municipal water systems have come to stay, albeit they
are characterized as more or less OF a failure IN some quarters-and,
indeed, have so proven in certain cases.
But the bane Of partisan politics eliminated, municipal utilities
become more and more popular, as internal improvements by the
federal government and by various states are coming TO be reeog-
7ird. under certain circumstances, as both desirable and profitable.
Some day, in lieu Of federal efforts. the state of South Dakota
may undertake TO dam rue Missouri and supply power for farm and
city purposes.
The Missouri, we are told, within the confines Of the state OF South
Dakota, could be made to develop a million and a half horse power
which Wonld be sufficient to illuminate the state.

DISSOLUTION OF CORN
PRODUCTS co. ORDERED
Federal Trade Commission Di-
rected TO Provide Plan

Practically the entire responsibility
for the satisfactory dissolution Of the
so-called starch and glucose trust IS
placed upon the Federal Trade Com
mission in the final decree in the gov
ernment's Sherman antitrust lawsuit
against the Corn Products Refining
Company and its subsidiary corpora
lions, which was handed down yester-
day by Judge Learned Hand in the
United States District Court. The
Corn Products Company, the National
Starch Company, the st. Louis syrup
and Preserving Company, the Novelty
Candy Company and several individual
defendants were held TO be combina-
ton in restraint Of trade and in VIOLA
ton of the law in an opinion by Judge
Hand last June. The decree filed yes
terday was the formal order for the
combinations dissolution.
The decree recites at great length
the various acts Of the defendant corpo-
rations in violation Of the Sherman
antitrust statute. II directs that the
defendants within 100 days file with
the Federal Trade Commission as mas
ter in chancery plan for the dissolu-
ton of the combination, unless they
elect to appeal 10 the Supreme Court Of
the United States. The Federal Trade
Commission is directed TO hear all
parties at interest and TO report to the
court a plan which will effectually dis
solve the combination and restore con-
ditions in harmony with the law.
1t is ordered that in case the de-
PENDANTS wish TO appeal from the de-
cree the court will approve a superse-
IDEAS bond of $4,000. If the appeal
fails the plan Of dissolution must be
filed within 100 days after the mandate
Of the Supreme Court is handed down.
II the defendants fail TO present such
a plan in the prescribed time the Dis
trict Court will take such further steps
by receivership or otherwise as may
be necessary to dissolve the combina-
tion.
The decree provides that the govern
ment shall recover its taxable costs
against the Corn Products Refining
Company.
