ern Pacific or the Great Northern
into a separate system from the
Burlington, the disruption of exist
ing relations with the Burlington
which would follow from carrying
such a plan into execution, would be
so detrimental both to the Burling-
ton and to the Northern line sepa-
rated from it that such Northern line
could not afford to cooperate in car
rying out the plan. It's obvious in
terests would be to continue holding
its Burlington stock and to continue
to enjoy the existing close and mu-
tually. profitable relations with the
Burlington. Such a plan of CONSOLE.
dation would, therefore, turn out to
be a mere paper plan which would
not be realized and it would operate
to discourage and defeat the consoli-
dation scheme of the Transportation
Act. This would be so because, as
I have pointed out, the whole scheme
of the act is purely permissive, and
it is not contemplated that any car
rier will take any action toward on
solidation except when it is to its
interest to do so. Therefore, if all
interest to do so is destroyed, the
plan will not work. On the other
hand, the way to make the principle
of the act succeed is to recognize
relationships which are already in
existence and to facilitate the carry
ing of those relationships forward
into an actual consolidation so that
the public may get the benefits, and
the one conspicuous instance where
this can be done without delay and
with great public benefit is by put
ting in the same system the North
ern Pacific, the Great Northern and
the Burlington railroads"

THE DoINGs OF A DECADE

This issue of The Herald rounds
out ten years of newspaper existance
Vol. 10, No. So. The news man
spent a little time today glanclng
through the oldest files of the paper
that have been preserved, which are
those for Vol. III, beginning with
No. /. dated March 5, 1915.
The files of the first two volumes are
missing, some probably burned In
the big fire of July 2, 1914.
This copy of March 5, 1915, gives
C. NJ. Hanson as publisher but the
masthead does not disclose the learn
ed editor. This may have been
though modesty or through fear. An
editorial on the front page-a warm,
vivid. gushing classic that swears by
call the golden, sunny ringlets on the
brow of Cupid, all the sweet lips
that ever puckered into a rosebud
to receive the kiss of a lover" that
love is no delusion, impells to the
conclusion that Charles Gordon was
the genius behind the quill. Through
two-thirds of a column like the fore
going he roasts another editor who
declares love a delusion.
In the next issue he admits it and
his name is blazoned below that of
the publisher. So it appears that
The Herald early acquired the habit
of standing for high ideals.
1t is unfortunate that the files are
incomplete, but perhaps it will be
interesting occasionally to look back
even eight years at the doings of
those times as reflected by The Her
aid.

LYE IN "MOONSHINE"
EXPERIMENT SHOWS

An experiment was made last
week by Sheriff Locke which
might be of interest to moon
shine" and shinney" patrons.
Taking a small amount of
"home brew" which he had
secure as evidence in a recent
arrest, sheriff Locke went into
the courthouse yard and poured
q portion of the fluid upon the
grass. Within two hours it was
found that the grass which re-
ceived its dose of poison was
dead, and proved beyond a
doubt that lye had been used in
the making of the poisonous
stuff.
Although unconfrmed, it is
said that recently a tin bucket
of "shinney" was buried beneath
the ground and after several
days, when it was brought forth,
holes were found in the pail
which also proved that lye-Red
Devil or some other kind-had
been used in the manufacture of
the liquor.

HARRISON TELLS SECRET
OF TALKS IN RING

Washington, Sept. 25.-Wil-
liam j. Bryan, the "Prince of
Chautauquers" has little or
nothing on Senator Pat Harri-
son, Mississippi, who made his
initial bow this summer in the
squared circle sawdust ring, or
covered tent, as the case might
be.
In the first place, Senator Har-
rison says he has no trouble IN
keeping up the noise" His
colleagues in the Senate agree
with him.
"The great secret of success
on the PLATFORM" says Senator
Harrison, ''is to tell the people
what they want to know. For
instance when | am talking in
Texas, I emphasize the agricul-
tural industry, but when in
Kentucky, I dwell upon Jackson
ian Democracy. When in Re-
publican stronghold l praise
Lincoln, Harding and other Re-
publican leaders, and | find that
after | have done that | can go
as far as | like in denouncing
the Republican policies"
Senator Harrison has thirteen
more speeches to make at 500
per, before his season closes.
Then he says he will be in fine
fettle to point out in the Senate
the faults of the administration.
He has tabooed two subjects.
in his speeches-the Ku Klux
Klan and the liquor question.

burned Are you letting social

Afternoon Service.
Sunday afternoon at 2::30 Mr..
Williams talked to the negroes
and the basis of his remarks was
taken from the Ten Command
ments. Much interest was
shown and many negroes went
forward and accepted Jesus as
their personal saviour.
Sunday Night.
'"The Modern Jazebel" was
painted by Mr.. Williams Sunday
night, when the largest crowd so

dreds were forced to stand thru
out the service.

Monday Night.
"The Test of Tendency" was
the subject used by Mr.. Williams
Monday night. "Forgetting
those things that are behind,
such as lust, love of money, hate,
jealousy, envy, strife, etc., and
looking forward to the new life
in Christ Jesus is the keynote of
warning that l give you new
converts" he said.
At the close of the sermon,
Mr.. Williams announced that he
was going to do something he
had never done since he entered
evangelistic work. He called
c.. E. Jones, new convert, to
the platform and asked him to
appeal to the -unsaved. 'In the
name of God, | appeal to you,
men and women of Wiggins to
come and turn your lives away
from sin and help us to live bet
ter lives," Mr.. Jones said, and in
response a number went forward
and enlisted with the Saviour's
army.
Other converts, men who have
led lives of sin but who had turn
ed away, were pressed to the
front and took places on the
speakers platform, and it was
then, the first time since the
meeting opened, that the crowd
of men, women, boys and girls
took charge, making their way
to the front to shake the hands
of those recently converted.
