hundred per cent more than the cost CT pro-

mouth Of the mine to the ultimate con-
sumer-with authority to allot quantities

WASHINGTON. May


President wilson's Cabinet will soon be
Increased by three new portfolios-Secre-
tarv of Food Administration, Secretary Of
Munitions and Supplies and a Secretary of
sportation-accordng to official belief
here today
Action by the Senate in limiting the pow
ers of the Council of National Defense so
that much of the work now being done by
,he advisory committee of the council will
be shifted back directly to the shoulders Of
the Cabinet has made new posts in the
Cabinet imperative officials declare.
The Senate doesn't like the Council Of
National Defense. Its reasons are political
Members of the advisory committee were
appointed by the President without the
sacred advice and consent Of the Senate "
As a result, an amendment was adopted
in the urgent deficiency bill, stating that the
authority. carefully designated to the coun-
Gil under the act creating it, should not be
exceeded because of the war.
This has placed the burden of real con-
structlve work back on the Cabinet and tho
advisory committee Of the council is lin.
tied again to the work of co-ordinating-a
strictly advisory capacity
Secretary of War Baker, as a result. is
left not only with the work of raising an
army but also with the work of raising
supplies and munitions for the army.
This is mot as 1t should be at ALL" one
Of the foremost officials of the Government
said. Secretary Baker has all he can do
10 take care CT the army work itself. The
work Of mobilizing munitions should be
turned over to another executive.
The same is true of Secretary Daniels.
The work of getting supplies and munitions
must be centralized. So must the problem
of transportation. This can be done only
by placing men with the same authority as
present Cabinet members in charge of the
work"
The post of Secretary of Food Admins
traton" has virtually been created in the
appointment by President Wilson of Herbert
Hoover. While Hoover prefers to serve
without pay, there is a bill now pending in
the Senate creating the very post he now
fills, giving him the authority he needs and
the same salary and scope of work as a
member of the Cabinet
Men under consideration for posts of
Secretary CT Munitions and Transportation
are also men who prefer to work for no
salary, and as a result the new additions to
the war Cabinet"-created, of course, only
for the period of the war-may all be nom
salaried officials

Dear Sir:
In view of the present agitation re-

terest will be taken in the decision OF
the supreme court of the state OF OK.
lahoma on this subject. In the case
Of G. ]. Krieger, ct al. VS.. the State OF
Oklahoma the decision of the Blaine
county court was reversed. This
court had condemned G. J. Krieger
and his son, who are Sabbatarians.
because they conducted a general
mercantile business at Hitchcock.
Okla, and exposed their merchandise
for sale on Sunday.
The supreme court of Oklahoma,
guarantees religious liberty to its citi-
zens. This is in line with the plans
of the founders of this nation. 1t was
their hope that the United States
might indeed be a nation which
should give to each individual the
right to worship as they saw fit. or
to refrain from religious service if
such was their desire.
1t has long been conceded that the
enforcement of an arbitrary rest day
was contrary to the spirit of the con.
stitution, and though number of at
tempts have been made to have con-
gress enact Sunday laws. these have
been of no avail: leading statesmen
taking the position that Sunday is
religious holiday. and that the civil
government has nothing to do with
its observance. Nor can the govern
ment in reason compel the individual
to observe any particular rest day.
This would be infringing upon the
right OF the individual, and that would
be clearly an un.American proceeding.
The doors of this nation have ever
been open to the immigrant Of any
nation. and to persons OF all religious
beliefs. Shall not the people Of North
Dakota place themselves on record as
standing squarely on the platform Of
equal rights for alls
