MEMBER AUDIT BUREAU OF CIRCULATION THE STATE’S OLDEST NEWSPAPER (Established 1873) NORTH DAKOTA AND COAST RATES The campaign in North Dakota, in which participation of commercial bodies is being sought, against the railroads’ contention concerning rates to the Pacific Coast is hardly justified by an examination of the situation. Briefly, the railroads must meet competition of ocean going vessels, using the Panama canal and carrying freight to the Pacific Coast. Under the present situation, the railroads are not permitted to place into effect competitive rates, which will enable middle western cities such as St. Paul, Minneapolis and Kan City, to compete with Atlantic Seaboard cities tsing the water route on freight to the west coast. The Lusiness is lost to these middle western cities and the freight js lost to the railroads, The railroads propose to place into effect rates from m-ddle western cities to the Pacific Coast which would be less proportionately than rates from those cities to points cust of the Pacific Coast. In other words, a lower rate for the longer haul than for the shorter haul. This is objected N d a * s a € T ¢ v t € 9 E i ft 8 t 1 4 1 1 t 1 « ‘ would operate against this state. ‘The railroads point out, however, that they must make 2 profit in order to develop their lines in all sections. If the Northern Pacific were enabled to meet Panama Canal com- petition and lower rates on through shipments to the Pacific | =" Coast it would make a smaller profit on these shipments than on many others, but nevertheless would make a profit. Iz it is not permitted to meet the competition it loses the business altogether. At the present time, according to President Charles Donnelly of the Northern Pacific, the railroad has plans for improvements totalling $57,000,000, which would include the so-called Killdeer extension in North Dakota. Unless it can operate at a profit it cannot make these extensions, and the middle western territory loses. . The people of the Northwest have a direct interest in the development of the railroad lines in this section. They ought; to take a broad view of the situation and be ready to aid the railroxls when they are faced by a situation in which the interest of the railroads is the same as that of the people served by them. HIGH PRAISE Senator William E. Borah of Idaho does not give lavish praise to public men ordinarily. He often has been thought of as an ultra progressive or radical. But Senator Borah does like Caivin Coolidge. Senator Borah says President Coolidge is “the only president who has had the courage to combat the growing tendency toward bureaucracy and ex- travagance, and therefore is one of the greatest men in the political history of the United States.” The Republican party ought to put those words in its campaign handbook. VOTE TO BE PATRIOTIC Patrivis will use their ballots at the impending election just as unfailing as they use bullets in war. Bullets win freedom. Ballots preserve freedom. Vote to be patriotic. Vote to get the kind of government you want. Vote instead of grumbling later at conditions which may be the outgrowth of your and others’ failure to vote. Vote without fail! Vote without fail! Vote without fail! YOUR vote is needed! YOUR vote is needed! YOUR vote is needed. sLUTTON Discovered: the diary of Rev. Woodforde, who died over * @ century ago. He describes a dinner he attended in 1774: “The first course was a large Cod, a Chine of Mutton, some Soup, a Chicken Pye, Puddings and Roots, etc. Second Course, Pidgeons and Asparagus, a Fillet of Veal with:-Mush- rooms and High Sauce, roasted Sweetbreads, hot Lobster, Apricot Tart and in the middle a Pyramid of Syllabubs and Jellies. We had a Dessert of Fruit after Dinner, and Ma- deria, white Port and red to drink as wine.” Maybe he dug his grave with his teeth, but he lived past , 60. Our generation isn’t less gluttonous, it simply can’t pay = the bill. 5 FOUR A We put an administration into power in Washington, D. Es C., for four years. Canada puts a party into power until, 4, deadlocked and unable to win a vote of confidence, it auto- * matically has to call a new election. Thus, a party might » be in power in Canada for years or for only a few months. i F But since Canada confederated its provinces in 1867, it . & has had only 16 changes of national administrations—rough- » ~ ly one for every four years, like us.

ADVENTURE OF THE TWINS #* OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON { “Did you get my lost sleepy ‘sand?” asked the Sand Man anx- liously when the Twins got back to the Moon again. “No, we didn’t,” said Nancy. “Nobody on Venus had seen him and they all acted as though they |, were crazy.” “Too bad!

Not so quick!” said Tweekanose. “It won’t do you any good to say charms any more. The sleepy sand is under the cloak, tco. No charm can move it. That's why you didn’t find it on Venus. “On Venus!” cried Nancy and Nick, “Were you there, too?” “Yes, I was there when- you were,” laughed Tweekanose. © “I just got back.

Leslie and I both made avdive to pick him up, and our heads bumped was almost knocked off her feet, and the kid cried harder than ever. but at an exclamation from Mrs. Hamilton, I found blood running down my face. Some of it must haye gotten into my eye, for I really thought I was blinded. You sec, Leslie had dolled up her bobbed head with a circle comb {surmounted by a wreath of flow- vers and it had cut my head, and for a moment I was sure it had en- tered my eye. That immediately cleared the air and I was awfully glad it had been done, for I thought we wouldn’t have to have any planations. I just pulled Leslie down to me and into my kiss went a lot of my suspicions and unhap- ipiness; indeed, there was almost all of my wounded pride.

It seemed to me Leslie would never forgive me if by any happen- stance her baby would be a boy and she would feel that my child by another woman bore his father’s name and all the honor that would come to an eldest son. Some of the consternation I felt must have shown in my face, for with trembling lips she asked: “Oh, Jack, aren’t you glad?” I looked at her in surprise, then realized what a big woman she wi I don’t believe she had even thought of. little Jack as anything ut her own, own son.

Over Leslie’s face passed the most beautiful smile I have ever seen; it made it Madonna-like in its soft beauty. Her arms went out as though she could not wait to clasp the boy she had not borne but the boy who was absolutely locked within her heart. “Open the door, Jack, and let my son in! He shall have his Muvver, now and always as long as he and she are alive.” (Copyright, 1924, NEA Service, Inc.)

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1924 LIVES IN THE POORHOUSE By Albert Apple The poorhouse seems to be a vanishing institution. A ‘check-up by Uncle Sam shows that the unfortunates living | in almshouses totaled only 78,000 last year. In 1910 there were 84,198. Back in 1880, when “Over the Hills to the Poorhouse” | still was a popular sentimental song and also a slogan that | kept many a thin-walleted ‘man awake nights, the nation’s ;poorhouses had 182 inmates for every 100,000 population. ; Today the figure has shrunk to somewhere around 70. For years there has been much talk about being no busi- ‘ness opportunity for an old man—that young men only are ‘wanted. A direct challenge to this notion is the decreased {number of paupers in almshouses. Another possible explanation is that the young people of | our generation are more willing to help penniless parents and | aged relatives unable to support themselves. “ A third, and the most plausible of all explanations, is that | thrift campaigns and common sense and insurance salesmen have simply decreased the percentage of people who fail to save a nestegg for the years when earning power vanishes. Almost as many women as men were in poorhouses in * 1880. women. Now there are more How do you figure than twice as many men as it out? One reason is that woman, no longer secluded in home life, has hundreds of ways to earn money and save for old age—or to support her- self in advanced years. Another interesting fact in connection with poorhouses is that native-born white inmates number more than twice as many as the foreign-born whites. The poorhouse is a monument to the monstrosities of our system of economics. wealth, our soil fertility and With our enormous natural industrial genius and Amer- ica’s amazing creation of wealth, it is a black eye that any individual can reach old age penniless and non-supporting. Or, for that matter, that they are allowed to. As the poorhouse gradually vanishes, old-age pensions are taking its place—industrially and by public appropriations. We are slowly becoming civilized, and this is one indication. pli sn ce rhe Ae sendin cohabit News of Our Neighbors | | MOFFIT Mrs. Henry Crawford, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. J.
