If' :Y\. •V- •m ?A' I I W0RTH1N6T0N ADVANCE. PUBLISHED EVERY I A H. HAWLEY, EDITOR. Published Every Friday at Worth ington, Minn. St. Louis Globe-Democrat: It is quite likely that if you should ask Sioux Falls, S. D., any question appertaining to divorce laws she could answer it without hesitation and elighten you even to the unim portant details but in the field of religious sectarianism Sioux Falls is not so familial. It is not alto gether strange that on learning that President Roosevelt was a member of the Dutch Reformed church he was taken to listen to a German Lutheran pastor. In some western communities, where not so much attention is paid to the variation of creeds and the fine distinctions of nationality and race. "Dutch" and "German" are made interchange able—to the frequent indignation of persons of German parentage, who object to such negligence of terminology. If it were not for the president's deep piety, the incident at Sioux Falls must have struck him as slightly amusing although he is familiar with several European languages and no doubt was a"ble to follow tae Lutheran pastor and profited much by the sermon as if the clergyman had been of his own creed. But with that persistence in cor rect aims which marks the presi dent's character, he insisted upon keeping on going to church at Sioux Falls until he got into the right one. Many a person of less pertinacious individually would have considered the attendance on divine worship the German Lutheran church as an adequate peformance of religious duty on the Sabbath but when the president sets out to go to a Dutch Reformed church, there he wiil go, if half a dozen San Juan hills in stead of a mere blundering recep tion committee intervene.. The sanctuary of his choice was illumi nated by his presence on Sunday evening if it had been denied it in the morning. It will be a'matter of great rivaliy among all the other churches when Mr. Roosvelt is compelled to spend the Lord's day in some community where there is no Dutch Reformed church. It is a little surprising that if a poet—naturalist can be.taken along in the president's court, a paste for the state church might not also have accompanied it. It^was their custom for many centuries in Europe tor rulers en tour to include in their train a number of spiritual advisers. The legislature ought not to ad journ without putting a dog tax law on the statute books. Such a law was passed two years ago but hardly began to operate before it was re pealed at the special session on the ground that some of its provisions were unconstitutional. No other law was substituted and it does not seem as if this legislature were very enthusiastic in its support of the pending bill. But unless some thing is done to get rid of the vag rant dogs the growth of the sheep industry will be very slow at the best where it ought to be rapid, Half- Sick I I first used Ayer's Sarsaparilla in the fall of 1848.

IWHBB aAMtHiimMUJ it will never attain the mangitude insured by the natural advantages of the state when once the extraneous difficulties wolves and dogs, have been done away with. In Saturday's Pioneer Press Prof. Shaw showed how the complaisant tolerance of worthless curs had driven from the state a great sheep breeding enter prise that would have raised a grade of Minnesota sheep and have helped to give the sheep industry a firmer foothold. But the false sentiment that every dog is man's best friend and that he is therefore entitled to greater freedom to destroy property and make a nuisance of himself than children or even full-fledged citizens resulted in such depredations in the worrying and killing of sheep that Montana is now enjoying the benefit of that enterprise. And this is only one instance in hundreds. It is a well-kown fact "that the dog and the wolf are the two principal enemies of the sheep industry in this state. So favorable are all the natural conditions that Minnesota ought to be and will be when these obstacles are removed the great sheep raising state in the country east of the range states. Minnesota lambs have beaten all other states and the world is competition, and yet Minnesota ranks low among sheep raising states in the number of sheep in its flocks. According to the census returns, it had only about 360,000 sheep in 1900, while Ohio, with natural conditions no better or not so favorable and with an area half that of Minnesota, had 2,648,000 sheep. The keeping of dogs for hunting or for useful purposes of any kind or the keeping of them for pets can not be reasonably objected to. But it -4s not unreasonable to demand that dogs who either have no owner or whose owners do not care enough foi them to pay a tax of $2 should be got rid of in order that the sheep industry may have a chance to flourish. Furthermore, it is not un reasonable to demand that hunting dogs watchdogs and pets be subject ed to whatever measure of restraint is necessary to keep them from de stroying the property of others and making nuisances of themselves. Dogs may be worthy of much more lenient treatment than Email boys, who would be quickly clapped into S S ?H!» I S 7 -I a l-ils CO 3? 3 Wi DO 5* s: 9 •J3 3»» Tj ~g -,0 jn C/l M* •^aB'bi ^CLO i_ O ta-i P" 0 h?: 3'® I ft on 2, 3" 3- =r -i cr 5:» =r 3" en 2 & a. •g S- TO W W &> ~"2 0s 2 rf .7" O" •-& ZT So er O 0» *5 3 G.

They are entitled to more in fact for the dogs are a constant past, causing heavy losses, while thievery and ordinary marauders are rare and compartive ly harmless. Pioneer Press. The law and order league of Greater New York has invented a funny idea. It is to distribute buttons among men and women who frequent the streets of the metro polis whose meaning will be in stantly recognized by all wearers and members of the league. Worn by a woman, the button will mean that she does not want to be ad dressed by any handsome stranger no matter what her unconscious seeming of allurement. Worn by a man, the button will mean that he is ready to punch the head of any man who disregards its significance when worn by a woman. We suppose this is only a fad but really there might be something in the idea. Unregenerate males are always swearing on a stack of Bibles that they never speak to a woman with out secret encouragement. If they are sinceA, the buttons would be an absolute protection to all women who wore them sincerely.—Minnea polis Times.

Successor to J. D. and W. I. Humiston, Worthington, Minn, The unlawful acts in restraint of trade of which the Northern Se curities Company is adjudged guilty by the United States circuit court of appeals in the decision handed down at St. Paul yesterday, are summrily stated in the language of the court as follows: First, it placed the control of the two roads, the Northern Pacific and the Great Northern, in the hands of the securities a company, by virtue of its ownership of a large majority of the stock Of both companies second it destroyed every motive for competition between two roads engaged in interstate traffic which were natural competitors for busi ness, by pooling-1Lie earnings of the two roads for the common benefits of the stockholders of both com panies, and, according to the familiar rule that everyone is presumed to intend what is the Accessary conse quence of his own acts, when done willfully and deliberately, we must conclude that those who conceived and executed the plan aforesaid in tended among other things, to ac complish these objects. The Sherman anti-trust law is leveled against "every person who shall monopolize or attempt to monopolize, or combine or conspire with any other person or persons, to monopolize, any part of tne trade or commerce among the several states" and it distinctly specifies that the word "person" or ."persons" shall be deemed to include corporations and associations. When the "mer ger" of the Northern Pacific and Great Northern was investigated by Attorney General Knox, at the instance of President Roosevelt, he came to the conclusion that it was in violation of the Sherman law and could not stand in the courts. The outcome of the litigation demonstrates the strength of the Sherman law and attests the legal acumen of the attorney general— for the organizers of the "merger" had not proceeded without the advice of eminent lawyers. The decision does not merely make it difficult for the Northern Secur ities Company to pursue its course. It puts it out of business forbidding it from acquiring and from voting stock and prohibiting the underly ing compaines from paying over I T$flr»a dividends to it and from suffering it to direct their policy or exercise any control whatever over their corporate acts. On the other hand, the decision does not interfere with the railways affected. The properties are just where they were. All that is insisted upon is that make such a combina tion legal to call it by another name. The case has been taken to the United States supreme court, but there is no expectation that the de cision of the full bench of the cir cuit court of appeals will be reversed. —Milwaukee Evening Wis.
