Tnlophono No. 4:1, Dakota City's Dan Stevens postmaster-oil inspector is working liis head oft circulating petitions to have a constitutional amendment submit ed to the voters at the general elec tion to place the oil inspection and pure foot! departments under the civil service before the present office holders lose their goats. Letters with petitions enclosed, have been mailed by the local democratic boss to his "dear friends" urging them to rustle signers and boost for their game. The entire force of food and drug inspectors of the state have been out pushing this game at the expense of the taxpayers, in order to keep C. S. Harmon and his crowd of mugwumps in office another six years. Lutheran Church Notes DAKOTA CITY-SALEM After all, there is nothing like be ing home with your own people over Sunday. It is very enjoying indeed to see the way our new corps of Sunday school workers are taking hold of the work under the difficulty of the lack of sufficient literature. When a person wants to do a thing he can put up with inconviences for a time, and that is the Salem spirit. Wo still want more volunteers for the work. Will you say "Here am f, send me!" There were 87 at Salem Sunday school last Sunday. Now that is pretty good. But it is not 100 yet by 13. Do not forget wo are look ing for you at Sunday school. There is a place for you, and until you are 95 years old you need the instruction unless you come to a full understand ing of the scriptures. And when you have fathomed its depths, we will need you for a teacher, and you will have a mind to teach. We have set a class or two in the ante room. That is all the place we have to put it. You see we are crowded, How long since you huve thought of the Salem church as being too small? How long since you have thought of the Salem Sunday school as being so large that it was all that could be handled. Well, it is that big right now. If you do not think so, just step in next Sunday morning and look over the ground. And still the outlook for more ia growing. New faces are seen almost every Sunday. Enthusiasm is contagious. When you "run over" with it, the other fellow will catch some; try it. But until you do, he will not get much. Talk the Sunday school up; talk up the work, the spirit, the preaching services, everything, all our inter ests and all our work, get the habit, then see what happens. You've known people, perhaps, who were always firiding fault, and knocking. That is like laying an axe on the hen's neck. Talk up, fall in line, help what you can that is what gets a Sunday school somewhere. You are going to do that. Talk it to the first one you meet. As an experi ment try it with some one who comes regularly. See how they warm up to the idea. Why it is. a pleasure and you will soon learn there is more good to be got out of your christian activity than you had thought. MM i t inc. nasior nas ueen doing some work the past months for the degree or isacholor ot Divinity. The work culminated in a thesis on Luther the Preacher, and the "In testimony thereof" came to hand while at Omaha in the shape of a "Sheepskin" diploma. Thus wo advance. If you noticed last Sunday the congregation was half or more chil dren. Wo ought to have the parents, too. If you get started you will like it. Of course when wo got so crowded for room that we are like sardines in a box, almost anyone can tell what to do to remedy the case. Wo know Mr. Lake can for lie has told it to us. It is a pleasure to contemplate at least. A nice school of 27 was at Imman uel last Sunday. Some one would have enjoyed being the 28-50th. A bunch of jolly children is as interes ting as anything wo know. If, you need a vision for service or u person al joy in life como see them. Don't be miserable. God don't want you to'be. Bo glad. It all lies with you. Joy is plentiful, just open up and let it in. You can have it, but no one will crowd it onto you. Just a story. Once there was a great big, green, Ozark Mountain boy. A brother of my chum. He came out of the mountains to Mid lund college. A day or two after ho arrived his brother was away for a day or two to visit a friend. Alex got very homesick and laid around our room a good deal. I said, "Woods, lets laugh," and in a short time we were laughing to split over nothing. Yes sir, just over nothing; our Bides were aching over it. And when wo wore thru Alex drawled out, "You fellers can laugh if you want to, but I don't want to." And ho didn't. If u man just will not laugh you can't make him. Cheer up there is lots of pleasure about, get your share in your christian life. Uev. C. II. Lowe.

Faced by demands from the conductors, engineers, firemen and brakemen that would impose on the country an additional burden in transportation costs of $100,000,000 a year, the railroads propose that this wage problem be settled by reference to an impartial Federal tribunal. With these employes, whose efficient service is acknowledged, the railroads have no differences that could not be considered fairly and decided justly by such a public body. Railroads Urge Public Inquiry and Arbitration The formal proposal of the railroads to the employes for the settlement of. the controversy is as follows: "Our conftrtneta hart demonstrated than t cannot harmonize our difference of opinion and that eventually the mattcri in controvert muit be pined upon by other and disinterested agencies. Therefore, we propose that your proposals and the proposition of the railways be disposed of by one or the other of the following methods: 1. Preferably by submission to the Interstate Commerce Commission, the only tribunal uhich, by reason of its accumulated information bearinf on railway conditions and its control of the revenue of the railways, is in a posi tion to consider and protect the rights and equities of all the interests affected, and to provide additionalrevenue necessary to meet the added cost of operation in case your proposals are found by the Commission to be just and " reasonable; or, in the event the Interstate Commerce Commission cannot, under existing laws, act in the premises., that we jointly request Congress to take such action a may be necessary to enable the Commission to consider and fromptly dispose of the question involved; or t. By arbitration in accordance with the provisions of the Federal law" (The Ncwlands Act). Leaders Refuse Offer and Take Strike Vote Leaders of the train service brotherhoods, at the joint conference held in New York, June 1-15, refused the offer of the railroads to submit the issue to arbitration or Federal review, and the employes are now voting on the question whether authority shall be given these leaders to declare a nation-wide strike. The Interstate Commerce Commission is propo-cd l) me railroads as the public body to which this issue ought to be referred for these reasons: No atber body with such an intimate knowledge I railroad conditions hat such an unquestioned posi tion in the public confidence. The rates the railroads may charge the public for transportation arc now largely fixed by this Govern ment beard, Out of every dollar received by the railroads from lis public nearly one-half it paid directly to the em A Question For the Public to Decide The railroads feel that they have no right to grant a wage preferment of $100,000,000 a year to these employes, now highly paid and constituting only one-fifth of all the employee, without a clear mandate from a public tribunal that shall determine the merits of the case after a review of all the facts. The single issue before the country is whether this controversy is to be settled by an impartial Government inquiry or by industrial warfare. National Conference Committee of the Railways EUSHA LEE.

Any parents desiring their ployes as wages; and the money to pay increased wages can come from no other source than the rates paid by the public.

The quarterly conference last Sat urday evening was well 'attended. A great deal of business was dispos ed of. The fact that this was the last conference before the annual conference was not forgtten. Some very kind things were said of the pastor and his work which were greatly appreciated by him. A very hearty invitation to return for a third year was given, coupled with an oiler of an increased salary. As a Methodist minister is not his own master but, like a soldier, goes where he is sent, no definite promise of re turn was given. A committee to formulate a better system of finance was appointed, and much of next year's arrangements depends upon the work of this committee. The True Blues are resting from N. U. MAHBR.
