THE Interstate Commerce Commission
has very properly refused the fifteen per
cent increase in freight rates asked for
by the railroads, on the grounds that
conditions donotjustify any such advance.
An increase OF about four per cent is al
lowed. By the decision OF the commits
sion the people are saved from an ad-
dition 10 burden that is already heavy
enough. If the railroads are not making
money now, when every locomotive and
every car that can possibly be used is on
the 20 constantly, change OF manage
ment is needed-not an increase in rates.
How stupidity the railroads are managed,
anyhow! lnthese days, when automobiles
are diverting so much traffic from pas
senger trains, one would think that the
I.ilroads would use some means TO coun-
ieract this tendency and offer attractions
TO the travelling public. Notso, however.
Prices are being increased whenever
possible, privileges are being withdrawn
and service unnecessarily restricted until
the public becomes disguised ard patrons
say 1.-The railroads be -edl"
There'd be many an advantage to the
public il the railroads were under more
rigid government control.

THE Baltimore Sun, with great air OF
patriotism and virtue, has been calling
up prohibitionsts not 10 delay ard imperil
the TODD bill by insisting upon temperance
on prohibition legislation in connection
Herewith. This organ OF the booze
manufacturers has the eifrontery to say
that the probitionistS "are committing
crime against the people and the govern
ment' by holding up measure that
should not have been delayed moment"
The once respected Sun must have
poor opinion OF the intelligence of its
readers If it thinks they can be deceived
by such rot as this. All the country
knows that those who have been holding
up the food bill are the brewers and dis
tillers and wine manufacturers, and every
body knows, too, that their patriotism
fades away when it means interference
with their wretched business.
The real patriots in this fight have been
the men who have been trying to prevent
our grain from being rotted into liquor
and who are seeking TO save our armies
and our people generally from the evil
output OF the breweries and distilleries.
Russia and France and England have
had terrible experiences because ofliquor,
and il is generally believed that Germany
would have triunphed before this if
these countries had not eliminated TO a
large extent The manufacture and use Of
intoxicantS. The United States will be
successful just in the proportion that our
government can rid itself OF the curse OF
alcohol. This is the experience OF Eu-
rope and the result oil sensible observation
and sound reasoning.

BEGINNING with the first OF July, twen-
ty-three States OF the Union are bone
dry, it being unlawful to ship liquor in
any quantity into territory where the
State laws prohibit its manufacture or
sale. Moreover, it is not allowed to cir
culate in these States any newspaper,
magazine, periodical or circular contain
ing liquor advertisements. Certain Mary
land newspapers which have tattened off
OF whiskey and beer advertisements. and
which have considerable circulation in
West Virginia, are now coming clean,

London, July 12.-(By maiI.)-
Germany's dream of world conquest
has been shattered and the belief
among all classes there now is that
the war must end through diplomacy
rather than by a brilliant victory,
according to the German prisoners
in England.
A representative Of The Associat-

mateIy 1900 German prisoners are
quartered, is enabled to present
many interesting sidelights on the
German viewpoint as represented

Germany having held out thus far
she is prepared to hold out to the
end.
The economic situation in Ger

there is no visible shortage OF ma

For the present, no exemption
blanks will be given out by County
Auditor w. r. Tucker, of the coun-
ty selection bond.
I'VE have a great many calls for
exemption blanks" said Mr.. Tucker
this morning, but we will not give
any blanks out until after the offi-
cial list of names is received, and
it is definitely determined just who
is included in the first draft.
IF we were TO distribute the
blanks at this time, it might require
an additional supply, and we would
not be in position to care for those
who really are entitled to the
blanks.
DOESN'T EXPECT LIST

II do not expect that the list Of
official numbers will be received
until Saturday morning" continued
Mr.. Tucker
IF the lists were mailed directly
to us from Washington, we might
have them earlier than Saturday,
but if they were first mailed to the
adjutant general, and must be re-
mailed by him, we may not have
them Saturday.
1T will not be possible to make
the call on the men and begin the
physical examination for at least
five days after the official Lists are
received, and 1t may be a week or
ten days after they are here, be-
cause of the time required to make

WILL BE ASSEMBLED
AT COUNTY HEADQUARTERS.
The most recent advises from
Washington indicate that when a
county's quota of the national army
is finally chosen, the men win be as
sembled at the county headquarters.
In the case of Cass county, the
selected men would assemble in
Fargo. and proceed from here to Des
Moines, Ia, where the North Dakota
troops win train.
In each county in North Dakota
the same step would be taken.
Special trains would then be used
to transport the troops, and no doubt
several thousands of the men would
