W0RTHIN6T0N ADVANCE.
rClLUHBO BVKHY FRIDAY.
THOS. DOVERV, PUBLISHER.
The U.S. Government is planning
to erect an experiment cheese fac­
tory at Albert Lea, and to introduce
Roquefort cheese making into Min­
nesota.
Hereafter all private banks will
have to go through the inspection
of the Btate examiner. Not a bad
idea.The people should have protec­
tion along these lines.
The legislature adjourned on
Tuesday to the great relief of every­
body. They appropriated $11,000,
000 of the peoples money and passed
a good many laws. Reform legisla­
tion fared reasonably well.
One of the best and farthest
reaching laws ever passed in Amer­
ica is the pure food law. It takes off
the manufacturers' premium on ly­
ing and makes it easy to make a
living and be honest at the same
time.
It is said on what is considered
good authority that editor Collins,
formery of the Ooheyedan Press,
will return shortly from Hot
Springs, Ark., and take up editorial
work in the office of the Luverne
Journal.
The natural inclination of the
Globe editor to falsehood cannot be
restrained and he used_ up_a
column of space to lie about the Ad
vance again last week. Poor "Ber
kie," we grieve over your fall from
grace.
It is given out that the railroads
doing business in the state have de­
cided to accept the inevitable, and
will put in force the 2 cent fare and
commodity freight rates without an
appeal to the courts. Very kind of
them, to be sure..
That age counts for nothing with
Dan Cupid is shown by the an­
nouncement that John B. Bundren,
aged 101, is shortly to be married to
Miss Rose McGuire, aged 100, next
August, in Tennessee. They were
lovers in youth but stern parents
parted them.
The legislature has endorsed the
position taken by the Nobles county
board of county commissioners in
matter of the county printing,^by a
mending the law so that newspa­
per
l'montebanks"
with a scant 240
subscribers can have no possible
standing when larger circulations
are offered at legal rates. Now
listen to the Globule's howl.
Some time since the virtuous Globe
was using up much space howling
about grafters. If it is honest in the
matter of exposing grafts it might
learn something of real interest by
interviewing some of the members
of the Worthington town board of
last year, and also some of oar lum­
ber dealers. Will it do this and
publish the result "without fear or
favor?"
The merchants kick like blazes
over a lightning rod swindle and
various other petty graftings, but
greater than this is the gold brick
handed them through freight charg­
es based on stocks which exist only
on paper.
John King, of the Jackson County
Pilot, pays the folowing eloquent
tribute to one of Rock county's re­
spected pioneers: Hon. Jay LaDue,
the nestor of Southern Minnesota
Democracy, celebrated his eighty
first birthday at his home in Lu­
verne last week. Mr. LaDue can
truthfully be called one of God's
noblemen his magnificent man­
hood has always made him appear
head and shoulders above his av­
erage brother men. During the
past number of years that the writ­
er has been privileged to attend the
state and congressional gatherings
of those interested in the wefare of
Democracy we have been struck
with the character of this grand old
man, his wonderful personality
towering above his fellow workers,
his wise words of council when a
clear head meant the success of his
party, has appealed to every man
on the convention floor. Now
the sunset of his grand and useful
life, possessed of strength and vigor
he still steers his boat with the
same hand that has made his life
worthy of pattern by the young
jnan who would live long and well.
Seotion foremen employed on this
division of the Rook Island have
been granted a five dollar advance
in their monthly wages and we un­
derstand the advance is general
along the divisions. This increases
the pay of the local foreman to |52.
60 per month.
Loved for the Enemies He Has
Made.
The luck of Theodore Roosevelt
has passed into a proverb. He is
more fortunate in his enemies'than
in his friends, and that is the best
kind of luck. If a man in high sta­
tion be not loved for himself, he is
likely to be hated for the friends
who come between him and the
public, intercepting at the same
time the sunshine of his favor and
the fructifying stream of his public
patronage.
Roosevelt has not escaped this
small item of public disfavor. But
he has the blessed compensation of
Grover Cleveland that "We love
him for the enemies he has made."
The enemies do not seem to under­
stand how he is uplifted and upheld
by their assaults. They continue
to batter away at him,gaining more
courage with every effort, until
they are in a fair way to make him
president again in spite of himself.^
The big enemies cf the president
know enough to keep their mouths
shut in public and grieve when
their private epigrams are repeated
in print or when their private let­
ters are soid to a"patrioti^journal.
But they seem to think they can
set their snarling poodles of the
subsidized press upon th president
and accomplish their object with­
out incurring responsibility.
This is a fatal error. The peo­
ple know pretty well who sustains
certain newspapers without visible
means of support. The clever ene­
mies of the president, like Mr. Hill,
have sold their newspapers as bad
investments. Mr. Hill might give
his friend Morgan a bit of advice
more valuable than a stocK market
tip.
Mr. Morgan is^ understood to be
the financial support of Harper's
weekly and the North American
Review, as Mr. Thomas Ryan is
understood to be the "angel" of
the New York Snn. The joint edi­
tor of the^periodicals, called.Colonel
Harvey, goes about assailing the
president in unwriten and vocal
speech as responsible for all the
evils that afflict the world of wealth
and power, and the Snn echoes him
in wittier and purer English.
Just so the Morgan and Hill pa­
pers assailed the president four
years ago for causing the rich mans
a nic by prosecuting the Northern
Securities Company. This is the
way to make Roosevelt loved now
and re-elected later. The people
want nothing better than the man
hated by Morgan and Ryan and
Harriman.—Minneapolis Tribune.
Where Water Runs Deep.
There is no froth where the water
runs deep—
There are no fish in the foam
'Tis true,and 'tis true in the worlds'
far ways
And the quiet coves of home.
The gladness is not in the merry
tune,
There is no smile in the laugh
The fullness of joy lies hid the
heart,
Nor speaks in its own behalf.
You are merry and free with a pass­
erby,
You jest though your life be drear
In silence the hand of of a friend
you grasp,
You wed your love with a tear.
Full many a favor you speed abroad
Your due to the world expressed
Your servant you send with a chari­
ty's gift
Your babe you hold to your breast
The flatterer's tongue is flotsam and
froth,
The beautiful moon is cold
You are lured by the dancer's airy
whirl,
Her heart is scornful and cold.
There is little mind with the ready
speech,
And the bold are never brave
Only a silent and unseen force
Your wavering steps will save.
Then be not deceived by the seem­
ing, vain,
Get the truth of things as you
roam
There is no froth where the water
runs deep—
There are no fish in the foam.

•JUDITH MCNAIR'
A Popular Novel Written By Miss
Laeta Marion Ramage, a'P?
Former Worthing
ton Lady.
Judith McNair, by Laeta Marion
Ramage, is a beautiful story true to
life. Its literary form is good, and
the style pleasing from beginning
to end. It will interest the yQiing
and old alike. The faot that Miss
Ramage is a Worthington girl cidds
interest to this, her first book.
Worthington friends will be glad to
know that the Evening Star of
Washington, D. C., comments on
the book as follows: "'The record
of a girl's life, vividly presented,
set in the beginning amid^the orude
ness of a western prairie town and
ranging to the Pekin of the Boxer
uprising in China—that is the con
tents of "Judith McNair." The au­
thor has written of conditions which
she has had opportunities to observe
herself. The scetch of a middle
western town, where the ambitious
Judith lived,with its heterogeneous
population, native American and
immigrant Swede or German, the
hard and inflexible yoke of labor,
to which all alike are reduced, the
unloveiiness with which life is sad­
dened, Miss Ramage has given with
authority. The sympathy and con
creteness which mark her work
prove that she possesses the gift of
story telling and promise much for
her future achievement. The cul­
mination of the narrative, when the
English missionaries and soldiers,
with the women who are dependent
upon them, and the plucky Ameri­
can school teacher do heroic deeds
in the besieged compound, is dra­
matic and spirited. It is there that
Judith finds the answer to the crav­
ing for greatness, which, before,
had been her only a reason for
discontent."

The May Housekeeper.
Beginning in the "Housekeeper"
for May is the first of a sries of
short stories by Arthur Upson un­
der the general head. "Tales for the
Twilight." In the first story, "A
Maid of Poenic," Mr. Upson has
again shown his power of creating
original plots set forth in a charm­
ing and compeling style. The maid
is none other than Browning's Gkjild
Hair, and toundabout her he weav­
es a pleasing romance which must
be read to be appreciated. A play­
let suitable for commencement day
exercises for little folks, is by Con­
stance D'Arcy MacKay and is call­
ed "The Queen of Hearts." "The

Wayside Fancies.
According to a Kansas paper, we
often entertain angels unawares,
which leads Uncle By to remark that
angels often entertain us likewise.
Now away back in 18— well, no matter
the date—an angel entertained me
unaware that her grandmother walked
in-her sleep. She did, though, and
made a lively get-a-way when the light
was quickly turned higher by the
angel.
A white turkey done brown never
makes me feel blue.
There are worse things than being
refused by an heiress—marrying her
and discovering that she is not an
heiress, for instance.
Good luck never becomes monot­
onous because nobody has enough to
make the test.
When fortune knocks at the door,
some people are out in the back yard
quarrreling with their neighbors.
A thing of beauty is not always a
joy forever.
One way to keep a cook is to marry
her.
In the game of hearts a captured
suit calls for a diamond.
Many people marry for love—ol
money.
More men vote their prejudices than
their opinions.
There is some reason why a man
should admire a woman and still not
want to marry her, and vice versa.
We used to talk of "good old New
England stock." Now it's all common

There is no vacation from the school
of experience.
The man who goes to the theater
to "see something In the way of a

Some men's wives are worth a hun­
dred other women—and sometimes
that is why they marry them.
Costly.
Hand painted stockings are quite the

But they make the money fly!

Timely Warning Against "Mail
Order" Cream Separators
Tne "Farm Implement News" of Chicago quotes the fol­
lowing good advice to dairy farmers from a lecture by Prof.
C. E. Lee of the University of Illinois State Experiment
Station:
"I am not at liberty to give my preference, for I am not
selling separators —if I were to name a separator manufac­
turer, either to you here in public or in piivate, I would lose
my position—but there is one thing I desire to warn you
farmers against and that is buying hand separators from the
'mail order' houses. Don't do it—you will regret it. The
machines do not give results and they do not last. Our de­
partment receives hundreds of inquiries as to 'What's the
matter with my separator? It doesn't do this or it doesn't do
that,' and I tell you, gentlemen, that in every instance when
we ask them to name their seuarator it is a 'mail order house
machine and almost worthlees when it was new."
Don't waste your money in a trashy separator, made
"cheap" to sell "ch^ap," that is going to WASTE instead of
SAVE for you EVERY TIME you put milk through it, and
which would be VERY DEAR EVEN AS A GIFT.
DE LAVAL Cream Separators are NOT that kind. A
DE LAVAL catalogue is to be had for the asking.
