the present Constitution was adopted
and the one to be written next year
will no doubt live as long if not longer.
At least every effort should be made
to write one that will fulfill the needs
Of the state for many years 70 come.
With this end in view it is highly
importantthat much study and thought
be given by the chosen delegates to
the forming of this new Basic Law.
1T is my opinion that a practical
constitution should be written, short
and easily understood This will avoid
much litigation as future legislatures
viii have for their gidance IN the
making of statute laws, simple and
plain basic principles.
Il believe that it is especially i'm
portant that the antiquated tax laws
should be revised with a view TO not
only simplifying these laws but TO
lowering taxes.
Taking 1t all in all this is the most
important work to be undertaken by
the state during the past half century
and # nominated and elected l shall
devote much time and thought to the
forming Of a constitution that will be
to the best interest Of all the people
of the state"

My Dear Mr.. Evans:
This letter is to bear testimony to
the efficiency and most helpful service
Of DR.. A. w. Williams in the Y. NJ. C.
A. work for the men of his race in
France.
l met DR.. Williams a day or two
after he reached Paris and immedia-
tely put him on our lecture service
work for the colored regiments who
were working in the Graves Registra-
ton Service. In this work they were
taking care of our American dead, ex-
huming them from burial place on
the battle fields and re-burying them
in our large American cemeteries
throughout the triangular battle area,
Chateau Thierry, Reims and scissors.
DR.. Williams lectured again and again,
and brought to these men a helpful,
instructive message and much insira-
ton and information. am sure these
men will go back to the States better
satisfied and better Americans be-
cause of what DR.. Williams has done
among them.
With very good wishes to DR.. Viii

are doing thru the pages of the Tri-

There is believed to be consid.

Without doubt, the efficiency OF
the office can be increased and the
overhead expenses greatly reduced
by auditor Bergen.

Northern Minnesota's noted
missionary further says that if
the express companies are not
playing into the hands of the Food
Hogs, then their employees either
are very careless or very crooked,
perhaps both.
Mr.. Sornberger also says that
he has nearly as bad service from
freight companies as from the ex-
press companies. In 1917, three
barrels Of apples were shipped
from Southern Minnesota. 1t
took them three long weary weeks
to arrive and then fully third
of them had rotted.
In the fall of the year just
closed, four barrels were duly
shipped but failed to arrive. At
ter waiting some weeks, a tracer
finally located the apples on the
station platform at Spooner, Wis
Now comes an authentic story
concerning failure Of the Great

to cause suspicion that the express
companies aid, abet and protect
the welfare of the Food Hogs
against any efforts of the masses
to get cheaper stuff for their tum,

T. H. Little will serve the new

When up a stump during the

Politics and personal preferences,
however, caused heavy financial

he kindly gave way.
