HypocrificaI
lFrom the New York Trlbune)

The opposition TO an increase OF
railroad freight rates organized by
certain associations of shippers is
short-sighted and illogical. Among the
bodies hitch are trying to halt an ad-
vance are the National Livestock Pro
tective League, National Petroleum
Association, National Council OF Far
mers. Cooperative Grain Dealers AS
ISOLATION, National Livestock As
sociatiOn. National Livestock Ex-
change, Western Oil Jobbers Assocf-
alton and Western Petroleum Rein
ers' Association.
We can hardly imagine a represen-
tative of any of these organizations
making his protest with a straight
face. The prices OF the things they
ship have increased enormously in
the last five years. The producers OF
livestock OF food products and OF pc
troleum products have raised tariffs
at their own sweet will. They have
not been restrained by any govern
mental veto. They are not compelled
to submit increases to a Federal beard

Our Pastors Farewell
by Edward De LacOur.

Silently the morning sunlight
Drove the heavy mist away.
That was wantonly lingering
Ger our city one Sunday.
Blessed rest day how we love it;
Greatest boon to mortals given;
Thru its hours our thoughts go upward
To the glver, God, in Heaven.
Sweet came tones Of church bells ring
ing
On this damp and chilly morn;
Wrapped in winter sleep was nature,
OF its beauty it was shorn.
Scene outside was very gloomy.
And our hearts were very sore,
For we were to part with Pastor,
Perchance on earth to meet no more.
other fields and duties called him;
Newer friends would round MIN
cling;
OF him by her touch fond memory
Kindest thoughts to us would bring.
Not much outward grief was spoken
Neither by the old or young;
Silent sorrow is oft deepest,
1t cannot be told by tongue.
So we said Goodbye" dear Pastor,
With the wish when life is DER,
We would all be reunited
On the bright eternal shore.
