Washington. Feb. 17-Potato grow CTS of Maine through the public util- ities commission of that state pre- scented at the interstate commerce commissions general rate hearings today an argument for a special re- vision of rates in their territory and upon their product, H. w. Traitor, chairman of the sSte commission and Charles P Barnes speaker of the Maine legislature were called as wit nesses Senators Fernald and Hale of Maine were on hand to support ap plication.
 Ar. Traitor said the general ten per cent reduction recently made on rates on farm products had been omitted in Maine and other New England territory. Though the Maine Central, the Bangor and Aroostook, Canadian Pacific lines in the state had finally allowed the ten per cent reduction on interstate shipments, he said. state rates remained the same Maine growers producing one ninth of the entire potato crop of the United States have been put at serious dis advantage with their competitors, it was said.

ANCIENT PROPHETS
 AND MODERN TIMES
Rev. FiSke Makes Comparison to
 John |. Davis Bible Glass

Although living hundreds of years ago. the prophets were modern in their spirit. and could hardly have had a more up-to-date message that fitted conditions of today if they had lived in our own times" stated Rev. Samuel A. Fiske at the Mems Bible class at the Y M. C. A. last night, in the absence of the leader, Rev. John l.. Davis
 Mir. Fiske continued along the lines that Mir. Davis has been following for the past month, and reviewed the his tory of the Hebrews at the time of the prophets. There was oppression of the poor, and great injustice in so- cial relationships Religion was al- most pagan although the Jews were supposed to be worshippng one God. and there was no reality 10 their worship, but only forms.
 Isaiah Was Statesman.
 "The prophets attacked these evils each in his own way. Amos, who was kindled with a spirit for righteous ness, rebuked the people for their evil ways. Hosea was moved with the idea to reform abuses and his plan was to preach divine love as 9 remedy. Micah was deeply con cerned by the oppression of the poor and his message directed against ev cry form of injustice. Unlike the foregoing prophets. who were coun- trymen. Isaiah was great urban pro phet who preached his messages in the great centers of population, and he was really a great statesman.
 Requirements of Man.
 These men should stand in history with such religious reformers as Mar tin Luther. They shall stand with all who have stood against injustice and oppression and who have put them selves forward for reform.
 "One of the best def1pitions of re- ligion in the Old Testament is stated by one of these prophets, who said: What does the Lord God require of thee, oh man. but to do justice. love mercy and to walk humbly with they God
 Injustice is going on in the world today just as it did in the pro phets' time, and it is our duty to help put it down. The world longs for justice and righteousness Men w'u 20 around a block in order to aNo'd objects that will call for thelr pl'S and mercy To walk humbly in me presence of God means to have ( knowledge Of the reality of God, and if we have this we will be humble.
 "A study of the prophets Will shoN that these. men were keen'y allNe their citizenship, and their messag can he studied with profit by every one of us"
