Speaking Of the equitable adjust
ment of matters in general which
our Government is trying to regu-
late, we might, at least occasionally
give passing notice to the freight
rates charged on coal. In Satur-
days Louisville Herald we saw the
statement made that while the
charge for hauling coal to Irvine
from Beattyville mines was Sl.10
per ton, it was but S1.00 to Louis
vile, four times the distance, and
but IS cents to New Albany, Ind,
still further, and across the Ohio
river. If the railroad can haul coal
to the Ohio river for So cents ton
and make money, any more than
that charged towns along the route
is excessive and wrong. What we
need is Legislative bodies at Wash
ington and Frankfort who are not
afraid to pass law and fix pen
atty for persons perpetrating such
wrongs. Then with the enforce
ment of these laws we will have
equitable rates.

When you contemplate the
shortage of coal, remember that
the liquor trade is using 3,00O,-
600 tons of coal a year and would
be using $500, 1000 tons if the dis.
tilling Of whisky had not been
stopped.

Harrison Abbott, only Grand
Forks Eligible, Calmly
Awaits Fate.

The instructions regarding the
sending of the drafted negro cOntin-
gent Of Grand Forks county to the
training camp have arrived from Adj
jutant General Fraser who today tel
egraphed the county board of exemp-
ton to the effect that the colored men
drafted from this county are to be
sent away some time during the COM
ing week. The instructions add that
the men are ''entitled to berth in
tourist sleeper and that the county
authorities must take good care Of
them.
The colored "men'' of Grand Forks
county consist OF n individual, Har-
rison Abbott, As First avenue, who
ever since it was announced about
ten days ago that ;one-half. of him
was to be sent. The orders from
Bismarck at that time were that zone
per cent of the states colored quota
was to be moved. 1t was pointed out
that the list Of colored men eligible
for service in the entire state con-
tanned only fifty names. One per
cent Of this number consequently
had to be sent.
Mr.. Abbott has not had much time
for worrying about the results Of the
Investigations Of the anatomical
mathematician Of the government,
for he has been feted and honored
by his brethren for a number of days
in anticipation Of his departure.
He admitted today that he was
somewhat relieved at the thought that
Uncle Sam wanted "all o. me there
was to get" and the thought hat the
government provides for his travelling
in Pullman car style added to his joy
that he was going away. 4

Governor Of State
OF North Dakota Was
Visitor To City Today

The Governor of the State of North
Dakota was in the city today and was
approached, with the difference due
his official position, by a representa-
tive of The Herald, who asked His
Excellency for an interview.
The Governor Of the State of North
Dakota was first apprised of the art
rival of The Herald representative by
a card sent to his room, where the
Governor of the State of North Da-
kota had installed himself for the
day.
After a delay of a few minutes the
card was returned by a page, who po-
litely conveyed the information to
The Herald representative hat the
Governor of the State of North Da-
kota did not know the party" whose
name appeared on the card.
Summoning all his courage, The
Herald representative assembled to the
room occupied by the Governor OF the
State of North Dakota. Repeated and
respectful rapping on the door of the
apartment failed to bring response,
but finally a chambermaid appeared
in the hallway who surmised tina, the
door was unlocked and nobody in the
room. This was regarded as strange
inasmuch as only a moment before
The Herald representatives card had
been returned from the room. The
maid thereupon opened the door and
disclosed the Governor Of the State of
North Dakota busily engaged in lath-
ering his gubernatoriai countenance
prior to applying a safety razor.
The Governor of the State of North
Dakota smiled feeb1y when told that
his visitor had been delegated TO OBJ
tain an interview with him upon mat
tiers of vital interest to the peopIe of
this state.
"Will o grant such an inter
view, Mr.. Governor" was the ques-
ton asked.
The Governor OF the State Of North
Dakota said, between dabs Of the
lather brush:
Mo- have nothing to gay to The
Herald"
He vas then asked:
did @ mean to say, positively
that you have nothing to say to the
people through The Herald?"
yes, I meant that-exactly."
Then you won't gay anything?"
mo"
Good morning, GOVERNOR"
The Governor Of the State OF North
Dakota applied the iather with ar
audible slap Of the brush-but there
was no other response.
The dignity OF the Governor of tn.
State Of North Dakota was no furthe,
disturbed.

The voice of General Michel. one
Of the young French commanders,
who by sheer merit has made his way
to the front rank during h war.
rang out clearly over a stubble field
troops of his division, drawn up in
deep formation facing towards the
point whence the sound of the Ger
man guns could be heard plainly, pre-
sented arm and the drums tapped out
a general salute, while the colors of
the various regiments were lowered
out of respect for those who had died.
The long rows Of %bayonets remained
perfectly still for several minutes
while the roll Of the drums continued
and even after this had ceased and
absolute silence reigned, the men
stood motionless for a further period,
their thouhgts with their former
comrades.
This ceremonial hOnoring of those
who have made the great sacrifice is
always carried out after a division
has left the front line trenches for
during the fighting it is often impos-
sible to perform any religious service
over those who fall and are buried
where they die. Respect for the dead
is deeply i%ngrained in the French
character and the soldiers appreciate
greatly such an opportunity to honor
those who have died a warriors

Napoleon's Famous Chasseurs.
The division concerned today had
seen much fighting all along the
front. It had served in Alsace, al
Verdun, on the Somme and on the
Aisne, where attacks from one side
or the other have been of daily oc-
