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.

Federal Inquiry or
Railroad Strike?
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.

At the morning service, on Sunday
the pastornntends taking some bro
bationers into full membership.
There are also a few to receive by
letter. Any wishing at this time to
unite with the church should see the
pastor before Sunday. Another op
portunity will be given before the
annual conference, but this the most
convenient time while others are do
ing it. 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 Interstate Commerce Commission, with its con
trol over rates, is in a position to make a. complete
investigation and render such decision as would pro
tect the interests of the railroad omployes, the owners
of the railroads, and 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.
