In Pennsylyania, Presidents McCrea of the Penusylvania tem and Baer of the Reading declare vehemently that they will be forced to use Cheaper eguipment. In lowa and Minnesota, in which states efforts to compromise 23-cents failed, there have been hints of ‘2-cent service for 2-cent fares.’ but this has not come trom ehe master-winds of any of the roads.

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 man to admit is that be is not ompi- potent. Tbe man who has won his way from poverty to great riches by over- 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 jot assumed ompipotepce which with lesser lights is known as*‘the swelled head.” It takes several generations of riches to reduce this to true gentle- manliness and change the aristocracy ‘of the new-rich to the aristocracy of good breeding. ‘This is inevitable nd here in America, where the disease is almost as common = as appendici it is a mistake to permit | it to arouse either the bitterness that takes refuge in extreme social- ism or the disgust that reacts in personal discomfiture. The battle against the tyranny of of money, and here especially of new money, should be fought fairly on the Presidont’s platform of‘‘the square deal.” The first thing to insist upan is absolute équality of honest manhood, and that the only real superiority is tbat of brains when not dominated by self. The man who ko-tows to mere money has the heart of the slave, and the mao who would be glad to see whoever has won riches stripped of his possessions and returns ed to poverty, is no better than the thief. The kings of finance 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 other honest man: the one who has won it, as most of them have, by Sika ape and oppression, by taking unfair advantage and betrayal of of trust or duty, deserves to be de- | spised and pitied just as is any deliberate lawbreaker who preys unon his fellowman, There are enough, good citizens in 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 is its real shield and buckler, its strong defense against answering fur 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 about the liveliest town along the line of the Great Northern railway from Dnluth 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 is more densely populated the preseat timber industry wil! be succeeded by 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 fifty 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 jobbershave many camps along this railroad and its branches, 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 of the timber will be maoufactured in the local mill, while a large proportion of the logs will be railed to this place, dump- ed into the Mississippi river and driven out of the country, to be man- ufactured at Minneapolis or some point furthur down the river. i ; Duluth Trade lio do their trading in Deer Riv I 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- 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 ou the | banks of White Oak lake, bulf a mile from the business center of the vil-} lage. This mill handles all kinds of timber, including pine, tamafack, cedar and all kinds of hardwood.— 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. This removes the only ° ‘serious menace to the general prosperity of the country. The financial flurry, the depression of stock values, the difli- culty in floating 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 asm that warks the greatest periods of progress. But so long as the crops grow and yield their harvests, the country cau 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. Greatest of True Blessings. The greatest of all human blessings, reality, is not vast wealth nor pre-eminent power butis just beiag comfortable in both mind and body, without worries to disturb the one or pains and ailments to r or barass 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 surcease cf that pain. Toa person opprssed with some over- powering metal anxiety, heaven or earth would seem to be found in a Mere state of mind absolutely free from gnawing and harassing care. Yet when most people have quiet amiuds 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 sume good to be super-added to their comfortable state of being. They strive for some untried delights, some new ecstatic thrills. dom or never, do they tind what they seek and irretrievably do they nearly | always mar true, blissful content- went. So-called pleasure seldom lasts longer than a 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. 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 wulti-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 = But sel-!

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 has something | to sell, whatever itis the labor of the hauas, the product of the mills and factories, the quarries or the farms.
