The Worthington advance. [volume] (Worthington, Minn.) 1874-1908, 1886-04-01
THE CAUSE OF NOISE.

We think our Luverne friend THE
editor Of the Herald is inclined to be
rather severe on Worthington. We
take it to he one of the brightest towns
IN the country. Its fine lake shows off
to advantages; the business men are all
enterprising; the newspaper bright and
readable, and just why our Luverne
and Worthington friends don't play
more agreeable is something we do not
understand.-Fulda Republican.
W"rthington is ready and willing to
be ''agreeable, "b,t I.uverne wont have
it so--if the Herald can prevent it. The
trouble is, Bro. Woolstencroft, that
every time the Herald man sees the sun
rise lie imagines it to be some one in
WorthinSt"n shaking Il red rag in his
face-hence these Lellowings. Adrian
people say that on still morning he
can be heard at their town. What an
awful calamity it would be if the Her.
aid should let one whole week sip by
without its getting in a dig at Wor-
thington. Meantime our people go
steadily ahead, utterly indifferent to
the agoniZing cries Of the Herald; in
fact are too busy attending to thcir own
business to have time to waste on that
"f l.uverne or their Herald. Can't the
Republican say something cOnso!ing to
the poor fellow; something like this:
BE virtuous and you will be happy. -
The highest and best and only true
use OF money. after supplying the ne
ccssities, must involve large benevu-
lrnce. This is not matter Of choice
1t is III obligation resting upon every
individual. Thousands upon thousands
fai! to recognize it, and they pass
through life, and die, with this debt,
III large part or wholly, unpaid. Such
is the case with many who possess
more than q competency of this world S
goods. None of us liveth to himself.
This is too often forgotten. Common
brotherhood involves common bur-
dens. There is an abundance in the
world, rightly used, tc support every
charity, and to feed and clothe the
poor. Large numbers of men have
control of vastly more than they need
but they clutch it and cry "Mine!'
"Mine"' The heresy that everything
that anyone has succeeded in grasping
is absolutely his own, to be used re-
gardless of the wants of his neighbor,
is just as great as the opposite heresy
Of Socialism, that nothing belorgs to
anybody, but all things are owned in
common. These twin errors are the
antipodes, from which radiate all the
influences resulting in conflicts be-
tween labor and capital.-K. E. Jen-
kins in The Advance.
The true remedy would seem to be
for people who have obtained a sutfi-
cheney of wealth, say $500, 900, to refrain
from grasping any more but let others
have chance. Perhaps the best way
to bring this about would be for the
state to limit PERSONS wealth to
some certain sum, and upon the death
of u person compel the property to 60
through the probate court, and any
sum in excess of the limit to escheat to
the state. Such law would have a
powerful influence in restraining those
who want more than their share of
the total wealth Of the world.
The Beaver Greek Bee is the name
Of new paper hailing from Beaver
Greek, but printed at Luverne. 1t is

yer Creek Graphic. 1t appears to be a
Luverne enterprise to head off any
change in the county seat of Rock
county.
There are some who think position
as postal clerk is An easy one, and that
only 4 very small amount of brains
and less energy is needed. One of this
class recently succeeded in getting All
Paul was made about three weeks ago.
He put in his time for the first eighty
miles *'sizing up his ''soft" job. At
this place he asked the head clerk if
there were any good hotels here, and
being informed that there was he said
he thought he would stop and rest for
time, which he did, leaving the head
clerk to make the run alone. The gen.
tleman who stopped to rest has since
sent in his resignation. at the same
time asking the department it it
thought he was Vi fool.n His
resi- gnation. we are told, has been ac-
cepted.-Mankato Register.
