THE DRcADRNcR OF RELIGION"

The Sioux Falls Sunday Press re-
Gently had an editorial on the above
subject, which has proven to be very
lively corpse. Communications pro
and con from readers, editorial ref
erences in other papers and pulpit
references from the clergy have called
out still other editorials from the
Press, showing q very lively interest in
what is alleged to be decadent.
The difficulty with the general po-
sition of the Press is that it has mis-
taken certain excrescences and abuses of
religion for the genuine article. The
worship Of Jupiter by Rome VIXEN
at the height Of her civilization was
not religion but idolatry; the deifca-
cation of reason, personified by Il
courtesan just previous to the French
revolution, instead Of being an act Of
religious worship was one of the
most horrible travesties on religion
and unjust carictures of reason the
world has ever seen. Fine cathedrals
and rituals, whole nations protesting a
religion as Rome under Charlemague
and the states OF the present day hav-
| ing an established church, God in the
constitution even, and creeds OF un-
doubted and generally accepted or
thodoxy, one or all OF them would not
necessarily mean true religion:
they might be an easy-going substi-
tute for the same or mere shadow
J and "reminiscences OF departed spirit.
Many of these things today are de-
| cadent, and as result we have more
Religion is truth, righteousness and
| in every human interest and activity.
Such conception OF religion as this
! the Press would be loath to urge as de-
cadent in this fin de steele age. That
We may not be open to the charge OF
having misinterpreted the correct
meaning Of religion, THE COURIER
will quote the following utterance from
| the pulpit Of the Park avenue Congre-
| gational church, Minneapolis, made
the very day the Press published its
editorial:
"When q man can say: I want to be
| enriched with all culture for the sake
of the glory Of God and the good OF
man. when the Business man can say:
i want to succeed in business as Gods
son and for Gods glory and when a
1 man who aspires to leadership and
power can say: 4 want to dedicate
myself to truth and justice, and to be
nothing less than servant Of the king
dom OF God. then culture IL sought
worthilv, business becomes nothing less
i than . divine service. and power ID not
the dragons tooth which destroys. but
the royal hand which heals Ii touch
ing."

OUR GOOD BYE.

II becomes the sad duty of the edi-
tor to bid our old friends and subscrib-
ers q farewell. Necessarily it is a sad
duty. But be that as it may we wish a
God speed TO the friends OF The CoU-
RIER, and successful revival among
our enemies. For four years we have
worked with The COURIER deter
minedly and persistently with the re-
suit OF splendid success. Taking
hold OF it when it was run down,
scarcely making both ends meet, il is
now one Of the best paying plants in
the state. The new editor comes well
recommended, and we especially en-
dorse Mr.. G. II. Bruce as a man, as a
republican and Il scholar, who will
serve the subscribers in a manner high
" satisfactory. Mr.. Bruce is gradu-
ate Of Amherst college, was editor OF
the Amherst Student, and special cor
respondent of the Boston Post two
years. and the New York Herald one
year. So his newspaper experience is
Of considerable consequence, fitting
him to handle the pen in a manner to
the advantage OF THE COURIER. To
our political opponents we say good
bye. Tears ill our eyes when we think
Of parting with the kicking, whining,
and back biting, but that memorable
fate which centrolleth mankind seems
70 cause parting with these dear de.
lectable creatures, and to live withou,
ssBuckn to kick about will take away
their chief avocation.

devoted to every interest calculated to
build up our own community in social,

politics the paper will be republican,
because we believe it to be for the best
interests Of Union County to be re.
publican. We shall not be blindly
partisan, and from time to time shall
doubtless criticise men and measures
republican with the aim to correct and
improve, thus making the paper a

be our constant endeavor to deal fairly

gladly accept suggestions from any

The Wooden Schedule.

WASHINGTON, June 22.-The tariff
was taken up at IL o'clock and the con-
sideration of wool and the woOlen
schedules were begun. Mantle, ol
Montana, offered to substitute the prop
osition of the National Wool Growers
association, providing a rate on raw
wool higher than the house bill or fl
nance committee amendment.
What is conceded the most trouble
some sections of the tariff bill, several
republican leaders believe, will be dis
posed of by Saturday evening, and the
finishing touches to the measure may
be applied July 1.
Mantle addressed the senate advocat-
ing his substitute.
McLaurin, of South Carolina. asked
for horizontal reduction. Allison pro-
posed making duty of 10 to IL cents
pound instead of II as the house bill
had it. This carried by a vote of 50 to
13. Carter, of Montana, referred to
the vote Indignantly, declaring that
those who had combined for the reduo-
tion would regret their action. For
aker said an agreement in writing was
made with the finance cOm mittee on
wool and he wanted it carried out.
Allison resented the assertion savage
ly. Foraker said it was true. Then
followed sharp and excited contro-
versy, which finally quieted down.

THE sCORRALITOS ROUTE"
Some Unknown History About the
Building of This Road.

The r. G., S. M. & Pacific railroad
is now finished to Casas Grandes-166
miles distant. About the building Of
this road there is some history that is
Unparalleled in road building. In q
little less than one years time all this
work has been done and steel rails now
run over desert country and mountain
passes where two years ago . railroad
was little dreamed of.
All the rolling stock of the road 10 OF
the highest grade and is fitted with the
best and latest appliances and the en-
tire equipment is first class in severy
particular and everything is on the
ground ready for business just as soon
as the government Gays the road is in
point there is no doubt but that the
COVER nment. will be fully satisfied, for
there have been but few railroads built
that have q smoother road bed to run
over. The only trouble has been in
sand hills where the road bed would
shift, but this has been remedied by
ballasting the road with clay and grav-
ell. All this work has been accomplish
ed within one year and sthe road IL
ready for traffic.
This is not all of the achievements
of the road. The money that built the
road is American capital and each
share holder put up his money before
the work was begun and the result has
been that one hundred and ffty-six
miles of railroad has been built, the
work paid for and not q bond or any
other kind of paper stands out against
the company. The road was built
with the money of the stock holders
and has been pushed through with
such promptness and success that the
directors feel proud of their record
and highly pleased with the general
manager, Mr.. J. p. Ramsey.
There are only a few roads that have
been built that have as good q record
az the COrralitos route.

The water has about st rpped seeping
into Gaienne's place and he has moved
his family back. He is hauling in sand
to fill up the lowest places, and has
built q new road out to the north with
sand. He is anxious to begin to re-
store the surroundings to where they
were before the flood; so is Charlie

but they can do nothing until MsyUr
