diverted by a discussion of the prob
able good or bad results of the con-
solidation. He stands on the consti-
tuition and the laws of Montana, which
he is sworn to uphold. They prohibit
the consolidation of competing or
parallel lines of railroad. Moreover,
the laws of Montana are more sweep
ing on this subject than are those of
Minnesota, and Governor Toole boldly
| points to them, saying:
But, aside from prohibiting the con-
solidation Of parallel or competing
lines, u statute provides that every
person, corporation, stock company or
association of persons in this state,
who directly or indirectly combine or
form what is known as a trust, or tend
to create a monopoly in the manu-
facture, sale or transportation Of any
articles, is punishable by imprison-
ment in the state prison for not ex-
ceeding five years, Or by a fine not ex-
ceeding 100000, or both. Every cor
poration violating the provision of this
section forfeits to the state all it's
property and franchises, and in the
case of "a foreign corporation, it is
prohibited from carrying on business
in the state"
If the merger can somehow wriggle
by the spirit of the Minnesota law and
the Montana constitution, how can it
hope to surmount this tr%iple-plated
Montana law if Governor Toole and
Attorney General Donovan stand by
their guns, as the governor says they
will?
Fines, Imprisonment and forfeiture
OF franchises are the grim penalties
Montana corporations must face if
they choose to disobey the law, and
foreign corporations who violate it are
prohibited from carrying on business
in the state.
Railway presidents who know of
this law may we'll confer as to how
they can effect consolidation without
violating state laws. Railway en-
ployes are loyal, but the service of
the two great trans-continental rail
roads through Montana would soon be
reduced to chaos if the Montana au-
thorities took to arresting officials of
the consolidated roads.
Governor Toole's letter contains in.
struction for some of Governor Van
SAINTS critics who have been telling
him that the Northern Securities COM
pany has evaded the law successfully
and that he is wasting time in quarrel
ing with it. Says the governor of
Montana:
SIt may be claimed by counsel rep
resenting the Northern Securities COM
pany that the scheme embodied in its
organization is a successful evasion
of our constitution and laws, but until
the court of last resort has sanctioned
such a combination and it's purpose,
no such contingency ought to be ac-
cepted for a moment
That is precisely Governor Van
SAINTS position.
Governor Geer of Oregon deals in
generalities in his reply, shows that
his state is railroad ridden and says
that he is not sure that the consolida-
ton is not a good thing. He does not
decline to attend a conference, but
says it must be on the Pacific coast.
Governor White of North Dakota is
somewhat stronger in his statements,
but his letter is not of the ringing
kind the governor of that state might

My Dear Miss Fairfax-I am a lady,
rs years old, ard about three months
ago 1 met a young man with whom I
feel deeply in love. While he pays me
attention and seems to like me, 1 do
not think he loves me, and 1 am mis-
era bic. What would you advise me to
do? Yours truly, 3. A.
Firstly-and this is the most import
ant rule of the game-don't show that
you are the least bit in the world
in love with him. Then study his
tastes and try to be companionable.
Find out what he likes, and more es-
pecially what he dislikes, and take to
heart the words of a little song called
Tact" Make yourself as attractive,
as entertaining and as interesting as
you can. Don't bore him. Don't jar
him And. above all. again, don't be
sentimental. Be tenacious of all your
other friends. Be particularly nice to
your men friends. The man whom
you want to love you must be made to
look upon you in the spirit of camara-
derie first. The rest is easy.
Any woman can win any man she
wants to win if she is clever enough
to go about it in the right way

Your married friend is acting in a
dishOnorable. Unwomanly way, and I
should advise you to have nothing to

your acquaintance with her, and ner

Why do yOu continue to attach your
self to a young woman of whom you
find it difficult to say anything pleas

faithful TO her.
But you are far too vacillating and

A TRIBUTE TO ROBERT E. LEE
1t Was Paid by Theodore Roosevelt.
the President.

THE decline of the militant spirit in
the northwest during Sthe first half of
this century was much to be regretted
To 1t is due more than to any other
cause the undoubted average individual
inferiority of the nOrtherner compared to
the southern troops at any rate at the
beginning of the war of the rebellion. The
southerners, by their whole mode of liv-
ing, their habits and their love of out
door sports, kept up their warlike spirit:
While in the north the so-calied upper
classes developed along the line of a
wealthy and timid bOurgeoise type, meas
uring everything by a mercantile stand
ard "a peculiarly debasing one by itseIO.
and submitting to be ruled in local af-
fairs by low foreign lmobs and in nation
al matters by their arrogant southern
kinsmen The militant spirit of these
last certainly stood them in good stead
in the civil war. The world has never
seen better soldiers than those who fol-
lowed Lee, and their leader will IN
doubtedly rank as without an exception

several other people staying in the
house, and they read, slept and did
other base things.
Daisy and Dick tried to get what
benefit they could out of a metal put
ting disc which happened to be in the
house. The rolling of the ball on the
bare piazza was very beneficial to
the inert creatures who were reading
and sleeping. But after an hour or so
Daisy and Dick decided that this sort
of pT-a was so tiresome and mo-
notonOus that it was likely to do ones
game more harm than good. 1t was
then that Dick began to think out
piazza golf. After lunch he had nearly
perfected his plans. and he and Daisy
proceeded to put them into execution.
The game was to be played with
mashie and putter. For a teeing
ground they took good heavy door
mat. In front of this were placed
divans chairs, pillows and so forth,
forming bunkerS and hazards.
The house was completely surround
ed by the piazza. Dick laid out the
course so that each side furnished
hole. A round of the house supplied
six holes, two Of them being short
ones near the kitchen where only the
putter could be used. The principal
feature of the new game was set forth
in this rule:
