DENY CHARGES
Take Issue With Statement
Made Public By Con-
gresham Baer.

Congressman John M. Baer and To-
cal officials of the Great Northern
railway differ somewhat as to condi-
tions at present obtaining in the car
situation in North Dakota.
The following communication was
received by The Herald today from
Mr.. Baer:
Washington, D. c., Sept. IL.
Congressman John M. Baer. Of the
first district after a conference with
States railroad administration an
nounced that he had obtained the
promise of the officials to make every
effort to Immediately relieve the grain
car shortage in the state Following
the conference empty cars were order
ed taken from other regions and sent
into North Dakota regardless of load
ed cars moving in the same direction.
In many places in the state farmers
are being forced to dump their grain
on the ground thereby piling losses
on a poor crop. 1t is thought by many
that the grain car shortage is a de-
liberate attempt on the part of under
officials to discredit and bring disre-
pute on government operation of the
railroads among the farmers of the
northwest"
Railway Men Deny It,.

day when told of Mr.. Baer's communi.

Is described there exists, at least as
far as the Dakota division of the
Great Northern was concerned.

cast up all the acts of our lives and
say, we also have lived for the ma
tion.'
THE men and women Of this COM
munity, together with the tens Of
thousands of others who made the
final sacrifice in the great struggle
just finished and the millions Of
those who have cheerfully died in the
struggles Of the past, that we might
enjoy the blessings We now have, all
testify to this:
Their sacrifice calls out to us, that
we abandon tiEaidity, caution and in
decision in matters of national neces-
sity and adopt an incorporating
attitude of willingnes9 to serve. to
sacrifice and to die, If need be, to
its institutions and the principles
upon which 1t is founded shall live

The colonel concluded: ooh,
friends, countrymen-those whom we
honor today lived their lives so men
do meet to recount their glory, SO
that in days to come communities
, shall raise monuments in their honor
and so their memories are sweet in
the minds of men. They died that the
nation might live and they have
passed on to us the living, the ever
lasting task of making certain their
sacrifice shall not have been made
in vain.
Let us then so live that in our
turn our children and our children's
children shall rise up and call us
blessed let us remember that unto
each of US is given work to do;
each Of us has his own responsibility;
that no word or action is so trivial
it is without effect on others and to
realize that our laws and institutions
are all the result of a public senti-
ment which we either make healthy
or unhealthy.
Let us have the courage and the
strength and wisdom to think clear

always for the good of this glorious
country and the people whose hopes

continuously for the welfare of the
country we love and then in the
words of the poet Bryant: when our
summons comes to join that innumer-

mysterious realm where each shall
take his chamber in the silent halls
of death, we go not, like the quarry

Before a capacity audience at the
city auditorium, which included hun
dreds of relatives of gold star serv-
ice men and women of western Polk
county and Grand Forks county, Sun
day afternoon, Colonel John H.
Frame of Grafton delivered a power
full address in tribute to those who
died in the service and pointed out
the duty imposed upon the community
and nation by those who gave their
lives in the war.
Splendid musical numbers were
given by the Municipal band, the
chorus, soloists and the audience.
Following the roll call of the dead,
read by Major r. p. Campbell. three
stacks of arms were decorated with
wreathes by Red Cross nurses. SOL
diers and sailors.
Colonel FRAMES Address.
Colonel Frame. introduced by ]. B.
Wineman, chairman of the home
service section of the Red Cross, after
paying glowing tribute to those who
gave their lives, said In part:
.'They will not profit by this eerv-
ice, but we should. Their story Is
written; craven on the grateful hearts
Of the neighbors and friends who
knew them so we'll and who sorrow
for them. No matter what we may
saw. or what we may do here. 1t will
not bring them back or add to their
glory; but their memories will live
their memories, and such lessons as
we may draw from contemplation
Of their heroic sacrifice.
mo one can doubt that If they
could send US a m Message today. that
message would be an admonition and
an exhortation for each Of us living.
to be up and doing those things that
make for the more perfect security
of this nation; to the end that every
man and woman and every child IN
it might be assured Of safety of life,
liberty and opportunity to pursue
their ideal of happiness in every law
full way.
"And it is certain that such a mes
sage would be timely one; for never
in the history of the world has there
been such time when there has
been more discomfort or where the
teaching and preaching of sed1t1ous
principles are more universal and less
rebuked: where there has been more
self-seeking, more endeavor for sell
fish personal advantage, more un-
considerable taking advantage OF de-
fects Of statute law to secure unfair
gain even at the price of the welfare
Of the great majority Of the people"
Arraisns Sediton.
Then following an arraignment by
the colonel Of those who seek oS!y
for their personal profit and welfare
of sedition and profiteering, and the
statement that the people OF the
United States have been charged by
those who died in the war to make
this better and finer nation for pos
