plan TO ORGANIZE
BROTHERHOOD HERE
Evangelical Bishop ls Speaker
at Tuesday Meeting in
Bismarck Church

Tentative plans were made for or
ganixing branch Of the Albright
Brotherhood at a meeting for men
members Of the First Evangelical and
German Evangelical churches here
Tuesday evening, with Bishop George
E. Epp, Cleveland, Ohio, as the prin-
cipal speaker.
Bishop Epp, who Is head of the
northwest area Of the Evangelical
church, spoke on THE Need Of the
Hour" Declaring that the greatest
need at present Is for q spiritual as
we'll Is business revival, he said Il
Is imperative for churches to enlist
the idle man-power Of their organisa-
tions in the work to which Christ
has called them.
"The manhood Of America must get
back that which it has lost, namely
. firm grip on the great spiritual
realities" he averred. "The greatest
problem Of the church is the difficult
ty Of employment" he said. by
that I do not mean employment in
the commonly accepted sense, but
rather that 30 per cent Of the church
work Of today Is being done by 10 per
cent of the church membership"
In closing he deplored the mediocre
statesmanship Of our political lead
ers, declaring that q spiritual revival
would bring about q corresponding
interest In public affairs and more
Conscientious representation.
A committee composed Of p. w.
Toews, Chris Kallenberger, Herman
Bischof, w. A. Schwartz and John
Bowers was named to arrange for q
second meeting for men Of the church
when plans for organizing the Broth
erhood will be completed and q con-
stitution drawn up.

HE DEMANDS JUSTICE
Bismarck, N. D.,
Jan. 80, 1888.


Jan. 80, 1888.
Editor, Tribune:
It was with much interest we read
the proposal Of State Treasurer AL
fred 8. Dale to issue scrip money. We
feel, however that any plan Of this
kind should apply to all farmers alike
and unless 1t does this it would be
both unjust and discriminatory.
We believe that those farmers who
are indebteded to private banks, both
chain and independent, who are fore
ed to pay exorbitant interest on
chattel mortgages, and those farmers
who owe federal land banks, or any
other person or institution from
whom land has been purchased, have
and rightly should have the same
right to demand fair and square
deal as those who owe the Bank Of
North Dakota.
And what about the tenant farm
ers? Are we to forget them altogeth-
er because they pay no huge taxes or
bank indebtedness, yet who have been
forced to sell at ruinous prices along
with those farmers who are trying
to pay for their farms?
We believe Mr.. Dale's suggestion
contains much to commend 1t and yet
q great deal to condemn. His state
ment that this scrip money plan
could take the place Of the proposed
allotment plan now being considered
Is hardly correct. because the scrip
plan would apply to the crops still
in the hands Of the farmer and the
allotment plan would only begin to
function with this years crops.
Neither would the farmer be given
anything on q silver platter as some
appear to think. We must remember
the state soldiers bonus had abso-
lutely nothing to do with compensa-
ton awarded by the government, and
state and government are separate
units.
The proposed allotment plan would
issue those farmers subscribing to 1t
certificates which could be used in
any monner. The state scrip money
would only be issued those who paid
certain debts with actual currency.
And on that account 1t would seem as
though q premium were to be put on
the farmer who was slow to pay and
penalty on the one who, by dint OF
Self-sacrifice and economy, paid his
taxes and installments promptly.
The scrip money scheme would be
self f-liquidating and require only the
sanction Of the state which would is
sue revenue stamps to be affixed to
the notes. As they passed from hand
to hand they would compel the pay
ment Of a small service fee from those
who accepted them as payment, but
this would probably cause no great
objection since in many cases 1t would
be scrip sales or no sales.
We must remember, however, that
there is big difference between this
manner Of compensation and that
Of appropriating large sums to be paid
as bonus or adjusted payments.
Everyone at all aware Of present
conditions knows full well that while
bankers, merchants, machinery COM
panies. gas and oil dealers, profession
al men and practically all other bus
mess has been demanding little less
for their services than in prosperous
times, the farmer has been forced to
take cut approximating 10 per cent
on practically everything he produces
and at the same time pay exorbitant
prices for everything he buys. The
farmer has been compelled to pay 100
cents from q 25-cent dollar and thus
far society in general has refused

STATE EDUCATIONAL
PROGRESS VARIABLE
Federal Bulletin Reveals Lack of
Common Standard for In
stitutions.

Wide variations that exist among
States in the systems Of higher edu-
cation established. in the methods of
control Of both publicly and privately
supported institutions and in the extent
to which higher education has been de-
veloped, are disclosed in bulletin made
public by the Federal Office of Edu-
cation.
The study reveals there Is no COM
mon standard Of higher education in
the various States. In fact, the bulle-
tin shows not only q wide variance in
the extent to which higher education
Is regarded as a function to be sup
ported and controlled by the public,
but also a vast difference in the per-
centage Of young people in each State
who carry their education to the COL
lege level, as well as a difference in the
appeal of the various institutions to
potential college students.
The report, compiled by Fred J..
Kelly. chief, and John H. McNeely.
research assistant, division of colleges
and professional schools, also developed
the singular fact that of all the States
the Is with the largest number of
college students per 1000 inhabitants

ton Of New York. The survey was
