THE £X*BS8S COMPANIES
The end of the exploitation of the
American people by the express com­
panies appears to be at hand. There
used to be four reasons why there
should be no parcels post* in this coun­
try, and, as we remember them, they
were the American, the United States,
the Adams and the Wells-Fargo express
companies. It Was an impudent kind of
logic, and the wonder today is that the
fpur reasons paralyzed Congrees for so
many years, says the Springfield Re­
publican.
The Taft administration came out- for
a parcels post, and in the Chicago and
Baltiihore ptatforms, adopted by the
lepublicaa.and democratic parties re
efctJv^ly, i,re planks declaring un
jeferwadly fesjt^Ush(iiettt of a
federal gov­
ernment. Last winter then was a

the reforms ijl their btlsijdess suggested
by the interstate Amerce commission,
and in general withaijaW opposition to
such a transformatiOn p£ the express
business as Would save vtfce life of the
private companies.
The important report by the com­
mission on its investigation of the ex­
press companies and their operations,
published this Week states the scope
in express rates which the commission
of the reforms agreed upon and an­
nounces also the sweeping reductions
has decided are reasonable. These re
ductions in rates, averaging: approxi­
mately. 15 per cent throughout the
country, are contested by., the com­
panies and hearings will be fyeld by the
commission before the order: for them
to go into effect will be issued. Some­
time in the autumn, however, the
charges will be completed and the ex­
press business will begin a new era on
a radically altered basis.
The new principle to be applied will
be that express companies are a public
utility, are more or less a natural
monopoly, like the railroads, and
especially in their small package busi­
ness are so much akin to the post-office
that the public interest compels gov­
ernment regulation of their affairs. It
has been easy for Commissioner Lane,
who directed the investigation, to
prove that the express business of
the United States has become
"a
fam­
ily affair" in the sense that the lead­
ing companies are interlocked and. in­
tertwined inextricably, and are in turn
allied with the great railroad systems
—the net result being a monopolistic
control from which the public have had
no sufficient protection. Rate making
has for many years proceeded on the
principle of charging what the traffic
would bear—modified only by such
competition as was offered by the post
office on the one hand and the railroad
freight train on the other.
Between these two extremes, the ex­
press business has been developed on
extortionate lines, particularly in the
business of carrying packages weigh­
ing less than 50 pounds. Rates, too, are
in many instances the same for 50
pounds as for 1
i0 pounds between the
same points: in some instances. The
old system of rate making discriminates
against the householder, or consumer, in of thi
favor of the middleman an7 -jobber, for
the householder often pays as much in
express charges for a 10-pound package
as a dealer would pay for a 25-pound
package and three or four times as
much a.s the dealer would pay for 10
pound* included in a 100-pound ship

rates being so confusing that not even
the express agents ure able to discover
the lawful rate between two points.
The directory of express stations is also
to state the delivery limits in each
city within which the express com­
pany gives service upon its tarTFf
rates.''
The regulation of express companies
and their charges by a government com­
mission is an important experiment up­
on the suc-cess of which will probably
depend the carrvigg out of the parcels
post scheme under direct government
auspices. In view of the fact that the
United States postoffice is not yet
managed so economically and efficient­
ly as it should be, there is reason to
welcome as a substitute for the parcels
post the strict government regulation
of the express company business. The
combination of private management
and the effective supervision of such a
body as the interstate commerce com­
mission may be the best practical so­
lution of the problem for some time to
come.

BINODAL NO RECENT OON
VEBT TO POFUZiAB BULB
Duluth Labor World: In making hip!
filing Mr. Bingdal' gave out a state­
ment in which he said that he filed be­
cause his democratic friends' in: the
state assured him that he Was the
strongest candidate to lead the party.
He refused to make a personal cam­
paign for the office and intimates that
it is up to the voters to either accept or
reject his candidacy.
Mr. Bingdal has been before the
people in various official capacities for
the past quarter of a century. He
left the republican party in the late
eighties. He afterward affiliated with
the populist party, serving one term
as state senator from the Crookston
district.
Mr. Bingdal can well be termed the
nestor of progressive principles in
Minnesota" politics. The things he
stood for twenty-five years ago are
the popular political demands of to­
day. He is no recent convert to
progressive principles. He is a funda­
mental democrat, who believes in the
absolute rule of the people.
When John Lihd was governor of
Minnesota, Mr. Bingdal served as a
member of the railroad and ware
house commission. His record as a
member of that commission is an open
book. The Duluth News Tribune in­
timates that Mr. Bingdal would do
nothing startling as governor," but
that he would "give the people a
clean, business-like administration,
not much different from that of the
many others who have occupied the
office."
Mr. Bingdal, as a member of the
Minnesota railroad and warehouse
commission, showed the kind of stuff
out of which he is made. The com­
mission of which he was a member
made the only fair and just rules for
the regulation of the railroads of
Minnesota that has been made in this
state.
He voted on the commission to re­
duce iron ore rates on the iron range
railroads, from 80 cents to 60 cents
per ton. When a republican legis
latre put him out of office, the new
railroad -warehouse commission rein­
stated the old rates which have been
in effect ever since and until recent
exposures by a committee of a demo­
cratic congress.
If Mr. Ringdal is elected governor
of Minnesota, he will not sit supinely
by and permit the railroads to dictate
the policies of the governor of the
state. If he had been governor dur­
ing the-past two years the people of
Minnesota would not now be obliged
to pay three cents per mile for riding
on a railroad train within the state,
but they still would be riding for two
cent per mile.
In 1897, when Mr. Ringdal was a
member of the state senate, charges
were filed by the Minnesota State Fed­
eration of Labor against LeGrand
Powers, commissioner of labor, for
using his office in his own personal
interest and in behalf of the repub­
lican party.
Mr. Powers had published a report
entitled "The Purchasing Power of
Gold" for the sole purpose of influenc­
ing the workingmen of Minnesota to
vote against Mr. Bryan for president
of the United States. He was also
charged with using the state's mon?y
in making a genealogical tree of fie
Powers family.
It was Senator Pingdal who made
the fight in behalf of the workingmen
state, and it is because of that
fight that, the Bureau of Labor was
given its proper place in looking after
the rights .and interests of the work­
ing' (dasses of Minnesota. His legis-
lative record is one of which any per-
instructions from a political machine
tliat owes its existence to the patron­
age of the railroads of this state nor
to any other special interest.
The two teams played again last
evening, but on account of time of go­
ing to press, we are unable to give the
outcome. Donaldson, the wonderful
colored pitcher opposed Dominick in
the box.
Hon. Henry Bines of Mora was in
the city Thursday enToute from the
Cuyuna range to his home.
Harry Hanson of Madison, Wis., who
during the past summer has been pitch­
ing for the Jamestown, N. D., baseball
team, arrived Tuesday for a visit with
Joseph Diedrich.
The school board on Wednesday visit­
ed the several school buildings, look­
ing after the needed repairs. Some
alterations will be made in the Haw­
thorne and Columbia schools for the
teaching of a manual training course
in these schools. George Johnson, form
er janitor of the Lincoln school, has
been made assistant manual training
teacher.
Edwin Krook and Miss Esther Love,
both of Minneapolis, were married at
the home of Emil Nelson in Darling
town, Saturday evening. The bride is
a sister of Mrs. Nelson, and the groom
is foreman of the track crew in the
N. P. Yards at Minneapolis. There
were about 150 present, including
people from Little Falls, Minneapolis
and Darling and a big celebration wag
held. The happy couple left Wednesday
morning for Minneapolis, where they
will make their home.

OBEAT SPEECH
Following is the speech of Hon. John*
W. Weseott of Camden N. J., nominat­
ing Woodrow Wilson of New Jersey,
for the presidency of the United States
at the democratic convention at Balti­
more, June 27 1912:
1
New Jersey, once bound, but, of the
moral energy and intellectual greatness
of'a single soul now free, comes to this
historic convention, in the glory of her
emancipation, to participate in your de­
liberations, aid in formulating your
judgments and assist in executing ygur
decrees. The New Jersey delegation is
in no sense empowered to exercise the
attributes of proprietorship. On the
wreck and ruin of a bipartisan machine
a master hand has erected *n ideal com­
monwealth in less than two years,
(Applause.) New Jersey is free. There­
fore, the New Jersey delgation is com­
missioned to represent the great cause
of democracy and to otfer, as its mili­
tant and triumphant leader, ar scholar,
not a charlatan a statesman, not a
doctrinaire a profound lawyer, not a
splittef of legal hairs a political
economist, not an egotistical theorist
a practical politican, who constructs,
modifies, restrains without disturbance
or destruction a resistless debater and
consummate master of statement, not
a mere phrasemaker a humanitarian,
not a defamer of characters and lives
a man whose mind is at once cosmo­
politan and composite of all America
a gentleman of unpretentious habit?,
with the fear of God in his heart and
the love of mankind exhibited in every
act of his life (applause) above all a
public sevant who has been tried to the
uttermost and never found wanting—
peerless, matchless, unconquerable in
the performance of his duty, the
ultimate democrat, the genius of liberty
and the very incarnation of progress.
(Applause.)
New Jersey has reasons for her
course. Let ns not be deceived in the
essentials of the premises upon which
this convention will build, if it biulds
successfully. Campaigns of villification,
corruption and false pretense have lost
their usefulness. The evolution of na­
tional energy is toward a more -intelli­
gent morality in politics and in all oth­
er relations. (Applause.) The line of
cleavage is between those who treat
politics as a game and those who re­
gard it as the serious business of gov­
ernment. The realignment of political
parties will be on this principle. The
situation admits of no dispute and no
compromise. The temper and purpose of
the American people will tolerate no
other view. The indifference of. the
American public to its politics has dis­
appeared. Any platform, and any candi­
date on that platform, not fully re­
sponsive to this vast social, political
and economical behest will go down to
ignominious defeat at the polls.
(Applause.) Platforms are too often
mere historic rubbish heaps of broten
promises. Candidates are too often the
unfortunate creatures of arrange­
ments and calculations. Exigencies,
conditions, national needs and necessi­
ties make better platforms and produce
greater leaders than does the exercise
of proprietorship. (Anplause.) Hence it
is that a disregard of the premises will
bring our dreams crashing in ruins next
November.
Again the eternal conflict between
equal opportunity and special privilege
is upon us. Our fathers wrote the issue
of that struggle in our constitutions.
They declared all men to bo free and
equal. In a single century that principle
developed the North American conti-
board of control. In that office he thousand ways throughout, the land, principle. This issue can not lie solved

"ALL NATION" TEAM WON
In a loosely played game on the local' ,,
grounds Thursday afternoon the "Ail'"
Nation" baseball team defeated the
locals by a score of 6 to 3. The locals
had several substitute players as some
of the regulars were either out of the
city or not able to get away from their

do. Men are known by those who hate
them and those who oppose them.
(Applause.) Many years ago the dis­
tinguished executive of New Jersey
said, "No man is great who thinks
himself so, and no man is good who
does not strive to secure the happiness
and comfort of others." (Applause.)
This is the secret of his life. This is,
in the last analysis, the explanation of
his power. Later, in his memorable
effort to retain high scholarship and
simple democracy in Princeton univer­
sity, he declared, "The great voice of
America does not comei from seats of
learning. It comes in a murmur from
the hills, and woods, and the farms and
factories and the mills, rolling on and
gaining volume until It comes to us
from the homes of common men. Do
these murmurs echo in the corridors of
our universities? I have not heard
them.'' A clarion call to the spirit that
now moves America. Still later he
shouted, "I will not cry peace so
long as social injustice and political
wrong exisits in the state of New
Jersey." (Applause.) Here is the very
soul of the silent revolution now
solidifying sentiment and purpose in
our common country.
The deeds of this moral and intellect­
ual giant are known to all men. They
accord, not with the shams and pre­
tenses of diseased and disorganized
polities,
but. make national harmony
with the millions of patriots determined
to correct the wrongs of plutocracy and
reestablish the maxims of American
liberty in all their pregnant beauty and
practical effectiveness. (Applause.)
New Jersey loves her governor, not for
the enemies he has made, but for what
he is. All evil is his enemy. He is the
enemy of all evil. The influences op­
posing him have demonstratei his
availability and fitness on the one hand,
and exposed the unavailability and un
ciples which are today being pop- with a svstem of taxation which ex- thousand trusts that have special

Therefore it is that a silent and
resistless revolution demands our
patriotic and best judgment. Individ­
uals are as nothing and personal am­
bitions arc worse than nothing. Im­
personality should be the majesty of

aid of that influence would he inoro

about his neck, and he had been cast
into the depths of the sea. (Applause.)
New Jersey believes that the opposition
to her governor, sueh as it has been And
such as it is, necessitates and secures
his triumph.:
Similar necessities, causes and, 'ttib-'
tives impel all men similarly the world
over. The ?same necessities, causes and
motives which draw, as by omnipotence
all New Jersey about this /great and
good man are identically the same
necessities, causes and motives ttat'
^are in resistless motion in every state
in the .union (Applause.) ,Its. solidarity
can not be disintegrated^ False argu
ineht falls broken against it. A
revoution of intelligent and patriotic
millions is the expression of these same
necessities, causes and motives. There­
fore, New Jersey argues that her splen
did governor is the only candidate who
can not only make democratic success a
certainty, but secure the electorial
vote of almost every state in the union.
(Applause.) New Jersey herself Will in
dorse his nomination, by a majority of
one hundred thousand of her liberated
citizens^ What New Jersey will do,
every" debatable statS in the union will
do. (Applause.) We are building not
for or even a generation, but for all
time. Let not the belief that any candi­
date "may succeed rob us of sound
judgment. What would it profit the
democratic party to win now, only to
be cast out four years hence? The
democratic party is Commissioned to
carry a great constructive program,
having for its end a complete restora­
tion of the doctrine of equal rights and
equal opportunity—without injury or
wrong to anyone. Providence has given
us, in the exalted character of New
Jersey's executive, the mental and
moral equipment to accomplish this
reincarnation of democracy.

New Jersey believes that there is an
omniscience in national instinct. That
instinct centers in her governor. He
is that instinct. (Applause.) How can
his power in every state be explained?
He has been in political life less than
two years. He has had no organization
of the usual sort only a practical ideal,
the reestablishment of equal opportun­
ity. (Applause.) The logic of events
points to him. The imperial voice of
patriotism calls to him. Not his deeds
alone, not his deathless words alone,
not his simple personality alone, not
his incomparable powers alone, not his
devotion to truth and principle alone,
but all combined, compel national faith
and confidence in him. (Applause.)
Every crisis evolves its master. Time
and circumstances have evolved the
immortal governor of New Jersey. The

unite in him. Deep calls to deep.

Tf providence could spare us a
Washington to lay deep in the granite
of human need the foundations of the
United States if providence could
spare us a Jefferson to give form and
vitality to the most splendid democracy
the sun ever shone upon if providence
could spare us a Lincoln to unite these
states in impregnable unity and
brotherhood, New Jersey appeals to the
patriotism and good seifse of this con­
vention to give to the country the
services of the distinguished governor
of New Jersey, that the doors of
opportunity may again be opened wide
to every man, woman and child under
the stars and stripes, so that, to use his
own matchless phrase, "their energies
may be^ released intelligently, that
peace, justice and prosperity may
reign."
New Jersey appreciates her deliver­
ance. New Jersey appreciates the great
constructive results ef her governor *s
efforts during the past two years, but
New Jersey appreciates more than that
the honor which she now has, through
her freely chosen representatives sit­
ting before me, of placing before this

Marking a^new-departure in the pro­
ceedings of national conventions, thtf
two candidates immediately: were in­
formally notified of their nomination
and in the midst of deafening cheers
appeared before the delegates to voice
their acceptance and pledge ,K,their best
effort to the coming«campaign.a
For several long hours during the
afternoon And early evening the big
throng in the Colliseum had listened to
a jow of oratory in nominating and
seconding speeches in which: the domi­
nant note expressed was the belief that
victory would come to the new party
in the November elections.
The party formally christened itself
"The Progressive party," leaving out
the prefix national,'' by which it
heretofore was known, but provision
was made for there cognition of 'real*
Progressives in any of the states by
whatever name they should be loyally
designated becausS of state laws.
Thei convention adjourned at 7:24
p. m. singing the Doxology.
During the three days it was in ses­
sion there was not a single roll call, nor
a ballot taken. The delegates asked
no such formalities either in placing
their candidates in noininatnon or in
voting for them. There was not a
voice of opposition either to Colonel
Boosevelt or Governor Johnson. The"
delay in nominating them was due to
the large number of seconding speeches
allowed.
