The railroads must also give credit for the goodly increase in revenue due to the cutting off of all free trauspurta- tion. In some cases, there is talk of retaliation, if the railroads shall install cheaper equipment and econo- mize on train service. It is sincerely to be hoped, however, that talk of this kind will subside and the rail- roads be left in peace to work out the problems which are already sufficiently complicated.— Duluth Evening Herald. Honest Suspicion of Wealth. The hardest thing fora forceful potent. The man who has won his way coming great obstacles, naturally be- comes arrogant and domineering. Some show it in brusque ways, some are more tactful, but the dominating change that comes to a man’s person- ality with the power of great wealth is always that encircling atomosphere ;of assumed omnipotence which with j lesser lights is known as“the swelled head.” It takes several generations of manliness and change the aristocracy of the new-rich to the aristocracy of guod breeding. ‘This is inevitable nd here in America, where the disease is almostas common as appendiciti it to arouse either that takes refuge in ism or the disgust that the bitterness extreme social reacts in »wing to the big advance in prices, z notified them that until news. personal discomflture. — 5 “| The battle against the tyranny of uld be gotten out buying stock ad bea business. t usany business men will kick on “¢rabbag” sed price of job work, as realize the price of an article being increased in proportion ho the wholesale cost, but the average who finds the cost of his news- paper increased is likely not toaccept the advance with the same equan- For this minany pub- Visbers wili bear the added cost of the stook for their newspapers until the This “Half-Nelson” on Luverne Herald. > = The 2-Cent Fare Movement. whey are position to mecessity of the retail i#mity. reason yorolits are wiped out. is where the trust has the he publisher ir movement fora maxi- r fare of 2 censt a mile, the country at the r and was fol- bills Phe popu hh ntroduction of yjecb in view in no b of the state legisla- is resulted in the passage of s by eight of thesestates wompt signatures by the xXx s ineach instance.

The man who ko-tows to mere money has the heart of the slave, and the man who would be glad to see whoever has won riches stripped of his possessions and return ed to poverty, isno better than the thief. The kings of tinance and industry have the same rights and sbould be accorded the same standing in the body politic as any other citizen, and should be judged by the same stand- ards, The rich man who gained his wealth by honest means is entitled to the same respect as is accorded any ether honest wan: the one who has wou it, as most | dishopesty and oppression, by taking zat advantage and betrayal of lof trust or duty, deserves to be ispised and pitied deliberate lawbreaker who preys unon his fellowman, There are enough good citizens in | this country this side the ranges of the country’s — ficancial kings to control them and do justice. There are no citadels so secure that |the lawbreaker cannot be reached, and there is no sanctity that so hedg- es wealth about that it is superior to the law. ‘ The day will come, and it must come, When the popular reverence for wealth, which its real shield and buckler, its strong defense against answering for its crimes, will give place to suspicion. Then the new rich will be heid prima facie culpable andthe word of the fool and the commonplace will not be given the weight of wisdom because they come from the vocabulary of millions. News Tribune. | Good Word for Deer River. | Deer River is | town along the de- just as is a about the liveliest line of the Great Northern railway from Doluth to Bemidji, and the healthy business condition that prevails is now a_ per- manent thing, as the source of Deer | River’s prosperity is almost inex- |haustible, and when the country more densely populated the preseat }farmers and dairymen. The village is the center of logging operations in the Big Fork country, the only outlet of which is the Minn- eapolis & Rainy River railroad, this place being the terminus of the road, which extends northward about tifty ‘miles to Big Fork, with numerous branches, into the stands of timber which are being logged. The Itasca Logging company, Dempsey & Daugherty, Pillsbury. Carperter- Lamb and other jobbers have many camps along this railroad and its brauches, and a conservative _esti- mate places the number of men em- ployed at over 10,000. Many millions of feetof pine and other varieties of timber are being logged in the north country, and the camps where the logging is being done are supplied from this city, ‘which is a great item in the business of the village. Much vf the timber will be manufactured in the local mill, while a large proportion of the logs will be railed to this place, dump- ed into the Mississ:ppi river and driven out of the country, to be man- ufactured at Minneapolis or some point furthur down the river. man to admit is that he is not ompi- | from poverty to great riches by overs | riches to reduce this to true gentle | it is a mistake to permit | of them have, by | mountain | | timber industry wil! be succeeded by | Besides the logging. there are many | settlers adjacent to this railroad who do their trading in Deer River. | The land. which is being cut oyeris the! very best for agricultural purpuses, | and the future of this nurth territory as a farmingcenter is of the brightest. The village of Deer River is grow- ing steadily in population and is im-j} proving greatly from a moral stand- point. The village owns its own sys- tem of waterworks and has the best pumping station, The Deer River Lumber company owns and operates a sawmill on the banks of White Oak lake, bulf a mile from the business center of the vil- lage. This mil] handles all kinds of | timber, including pine, tamara cedar and all kinds of hardwood. ; Duluth Trade News. No Railroad Strike. The most important telegraphic news in the papers this week was a short votice telling that the threat- ened strike of tbe trainmen employed on the Western railroads had been | settled and that the officials repre- senting the roads, the unionsand the United States government had all | left Chicago. his removes the only ° ‘serious menace to the general prosperity of | the couatry. The financial flurry, the depression of stock values, the ditl- culty in fluating loans for great enterprises, and the sulks in which some of the financial magnates are | indulging themselves are all handi- | caps to that good feeling and enth usi asim that marks the greatest periods of progress. But so long as the crops grow and yield their harvests, the country can stand almost anything except war and a great railroad strike. That the men and the companies were able to harmonize their difference is cause forthe utmost thankfulness. That the national arbitration law was found a useful factor is also cause | for congratulation. Every settlement of important labor differences is a help in adjust- ing the next disagreement, and every yielding to friendly arbitration isa step toward that ideal condition when all such controversies will be left to the judgment. of officials of that common government in whose good offices, Impartiality and justice ail must depend with entire conti-| dence or face the deluge of anarchy. | —News Tribune. | s | Greatest of True Blessings. _ | The greatest ofall human blessings, lio reality, is not vast wealth nor pre-eminent power but is just being} | comfortable in both mind and body, without worries to disturb the one or | pains and ailments to rack or harass | the other, And yet this is the su-| preme luxury that n> one appreciates | until he or she is deprived of it. To a man or woman suffering acute- ly from toothache or neuralgia or other severe pain the sweetest | thing in the world seems to be the! mere sure cf that pain. Toa | person opprssed with some over- metal anxiety, heaven powering arth would seem to be found in a; | | | { 7 . | tate of mind absolutely tree! mere from gnawing and harassing care. Yet when most people have quiet minds in pain-free bodies, when they have health and good spirits, they are not aware that they are really most truly happy. Instead of being serenely contented and thankful, they endeavor to pursue the ignis! fatuus of false happiness to some new state not yet attained. They hope} for some good to be super-added to their comfortable state of being. They strive for some untried delights, | some new ecstatic thrills. But sel-! dom or never, do they tind what they seek and irretrievably do they nearly | always mar true, blissful content- | ment. | So-called pleasure seldom lasts | longer thana moment. Let a man achieve suddenly the greatest desire, the supremest ambition, of bis life and how speedily it palls on bim and} how quickly he seeks discontentedly | for something more. And yet in’ its | ultimate analysis, nature ever aims to treat all men fairly, to deal out to } each the Just. modicum of happiness. whether the man bea poor one ina cottage living on corned beef and cabbage or a multi-millionaire ina palace partaking of the daintiest of delicacies, If people in good health and with no harassing or vexatious problems would just learn to be ‘comfortable, over half the miseries of this world would disappear and at last’ there would be something like true happi- ness, Lutis:t human nature even to approach this ideal condition of life?—Duluth Herald. Buy At Home. When you pay a dollar to your home merchant for something he has to sell, you add to the prosperity of your town in several ways. You encourage bim to builda handsome businesr block, and thus add to the taxable property. This means more | money for the public schools; it | to give you the quality, Set SSe5Se2Soqe5se5 means more money for local inprove- ments aad good roads; and it means lighter burdens for the restof the community. It also increases the valuation of yourown property. Not only this but it helps the merchant | to employ clerks, who rent houses, and in turn patronize the other mer- chants, the grocers, the gardner and the farmer. The more money spent in a town by the people of the town, the more there is of every kind of | business; the more people are em- ployed: the better for the farmers, | and every person who bas something | to sell, whatever itis the labor of the | hauas, the product of the mills and | factories, the quarries or the farms. | The big mail order house takes | your cash, sends you cheap goods and | that is all. The local merchant has! beca use he| liyes among his customers. He helps make a market forthe things you have to seil: helps pay the taxe heips build schoolbous nd churches H. E.
