AND WHY.

James Albertsen has made an
excellent official in the office of
county auditor. His experience
in the years of his service as au-
ditor is an argument in favor of
his reelection. We have heard
but one complaint ~ urged
against him, which is that he is
"a democrat. ," Those who are
fair in judgment and know the
facts know that Mr.. Albertsen is
not only efficient and courteous,
but that his qualifications and
knowledge OF affairs have been If

The splrltuaIlsts, Special.

Through the courtesy of the
Northwestern railway the t0:10
p. m. train Sunday evening, Oc-
tober IS, was called the Spirit
Eualists' Special From all parts
of the country, north, east, south
and west, delegates and visitors
were speeding on other trains
connecting with the Northwest
ern to make st. Paul to take part
in the twenty-fourth annual con-
vention of the N. S. A. The choice
of the Northwestern was mainly
due TO the Chicago representative
of that road, who sent out circular
letters to their local agents adj
vising them of the spiritualists'
special, as we'll as other trains
leaving Chicago.
Is not spiritualism getting pop
ular? Well, it is even better than
that The cause is advancing
everywhere, and even the rail
road representatives are begin
ming TO realize that the spiritu-
alists as a sect are to be looked
after. the same as any other re-
ligious denomination.
The Progressive Thinker takes
this opportunity Of thanking the
Chicago representatives of the
Northwestern for not placing a
spiritualists special on the rail
road may, but for all the special
courtesies extended to the dele
gates and visitors from all sec
tons Of the country.
IL is only a step on the way
toward a special spiritualists
missionary car, which will at
some future day be placed at our
disposal, and which will speed
through the country, stopping at
places along the selected routes
where TO the assembled crowds
who will gather our eloquent
speakers and mediums will ex-
pound the glad gospel of our phil
osophy and demonstrate the phe-
nomena of continued life
Progress is the watchword The
great spiritualist congress held
in San Francisco last year left
I its impress on the world and the
band Of pilgrims headed by DIR.
George b. Wayne, president OF
the N. S. A., which journeyed
some 5000 miles in the interest
of spiritualism, sowed the seed OF
La greater missionary work than
they realized.
So all hail to the day when the
spiritualists' missionary car will
be welcomed as it goes on its mis-
sion.
Nothing was left undone by the
special representatives of the
Northwestern to make the spirit
ualists feel that they were hon
ored guests, whose patronage was
we'll worth while taking care of
Those who left Chicago Octo-
Der As on the spiritualists' spe-
cial cars had a royal good time
