Many are ready to fight at the mere suggestion that they are without re- ligion and faith. Yet these same per- sons who profess profound indigna- tion at the very thought that they are impious, when asked why tley do not go to church shrug their shoulders. They make a lame ex- cuse. Often they offer no excuse. Can any man who professes faith in God who declares that he is a believer in religion offer a valid reason why he does not go to church? If a man wants to worship God he must go to chureh. The church is the house of God. The least any right-thinking man might do is to spend a few hours weekly in God’s temple. Everybody should go to church to- morrow—Easter Sunday. IRA B. MILLS. Ira B. Mills, railroad and ware- house commissioner, today filed for re-election to that office. Mr. Mills has proved himself to be an efficient commissioner and his many years of experience are valuable to the state of Minnesota. The people of state could do no better than to re- nominate Mr. Mills for that office at the primary election. Mr. Mills in a statement issued to- day announcing his candidacy for office, says: “I am a candidate for the Repub- lican nomination to the office of rail- road and warehouse commissioner. I was appointed to that office by Gov- ernor Knute Nelson and have been on the commission, except for the year 1900, ever since. “The duties of the railroad and warehouse commission have steadily increased since I have been commis- sioner. Originally confined to the regulation of the railroads and grain interests, there has been added from time to time, jurisdiction over ex- press companies, weights and meas- ures, commission merchants of grain and agricultural products, and the last legislature placed storage ware- housemen and telephone companies under the commission. “I have drawn many of the laws under which the commission acts and have made a constant study of the subject of public service regulation. Knowledge of the subjects with which the commission has to deal is neces- sary to the proper discharge of the public duties and is so recognized by everyone that has given the subject attention. “During the last four years the commission has passed upon 3,600 complaints, involving the different subjects under its jurisdiction. Noth- ing of any great importance is dis- posed of without discussion by all the members of the commission, and near- ly all of the adjustments of these questions have been entirely satis- factory to complainants and the gen- eral public. “The commission Secured, after protracted litigation, the establish- the f. ment of the legislative and commis- sioners’ freight and passenger rates, and since the decision of the United States supreme court holding those rates not confiscatory, the commission has secured refunds from the dif- ferent carriers to the shippers of $3,000,000. ' “The commission, with other west- ern state commissioners, appeared on behalf of western states before the Interstate Commerce commission to oppose the advance asked by the cay- riers in western freight rates, aided Ly appropriations by several state legislatures, of which Minnesota con- tributed $15,000.00. Such a thor- ough examination was made of the ‘carriers’ books and evidence so con- vincitg was presented that the In- terstate Commerce commission re- fused any advance on grain products, live stock, ete. It is estimated that this action saved the western ship- pers at least $10,000,000 per year. “On my record as a commissioner and my knowledge acquired by the study of the subjects constantly com- KER KK & xR xR w * BOILED NEWS ¥ KKK KK KKK KKK Auté owners of Olmstead county, Minnesota, will be asked to give $5 each, toward good’roads fund.
