must do some more lodge his own COM
plant with the society. He must pro-
duce at least one other reputable per-
son from whom Brown has borrowed
money and failed to pay.
Complaint being formally made, af-
ter due consideration a private COM
munication is sent to Brown. in which
he is asked to become a member of
the order. If he ignores the invita- ton
his name is put down among those who
have declined in a similar way and
this list is published.
In each city the order is to have
regular publication. and the list of
those who have been asked to join
the order becomes the roll of dishonor
and is regularly published.
The secret work of the society is said
to be very interesting. The order has
a beneficiary provision by which mem
bers actually and honestly in need of
assistance may receive it through the
order, relieving them from the neces-
slty or borrowing outside.
Each member carries a card or in
sigma, which is an absolute proof
against borrowers. He has but to ex-
hibit that emblem and the TOUGHER
knows at once that under the oath of
the society the possessor of the en-
blem can neither borrow nor lend.

WILL NOT BORROW OR LEND.
Organization of a Don't Touch"
Society Proposed.
From the St. Louis Republic.

From the st. Louis Republic.
When President Roosevelt became a
member of the Don't Knock Society
it Immediately sprang into prominence
and popular favor. Now another order
is suggested along similar lines, to be
called the Don't Touch" Society. If
President Roosevelt. King Edward or
some other individual of conspicuous
strength and popularity would lend
helping hand TO the Don't Touchers"
they would no doubt soon outnumber
the Don't Knockers"
The Don't Touch order is designed
to serve the twofold purpose of re-
straining chronic borrowers and pro-
tecting those who belong to the easy
thing" class. and who are the chronic
victims of the chronic borrowers. The
constitution and detailed work of the
order have not become public, but
general outline of the work may be
given. In order to become a member
OF the Don't Touch" Society several
obligations are required.
Each member pledges himself never
to loan money to anyone and never TO
ask or accent a loan of money from
another member of the organization,
and never to borrow from an outsider
under any conditions except those OF
the most pressing ana imperative CHAR
acter. In case a member does make a
loan it must be reported to the order,
and if the conditions under which the
loan was procured are not fully ap-
proved by the penalty committee the
member making the loan is required to
pay into the treasury of the society a
heavy monthly interest on the amount
loaned until the principal is paid to the
outsider from whom the loan was OBJ
tanned.
Like the Masonic order, the Don't
Touch" Society does not solicit MEM
bers. There can be but one condition
under which a person is asked to be-
come a member. and solicitation in that
case carries with il a rebuke and a
public exposure. through which the So
ciety hopes to achieve its greatest
good If a man is known to be a
chronic borrower any person who has
suffered considerably from his borrow
ing may enter formal complaint
against him with the society.
For illustration. suppose Brown has
borrowed from Jones and has failed
to pay back the loan. Jones reports
the matter TO the Don't Touch" So
ciety. and thereby. under ordinary cir
cumstances. becomes a member upon
payment of the initiation fee and by
complying with the other requirements.
But in order TO reach Brown, Jones

TO ANSWER ANTI-MERGER BILL.
Lawyers VIII Contend That There
Is No Control of Competing Lines.

New York; March I1.-Lawyers rem
resenting the Northern Securities
Company are preparing the answer to
the bill of equity filed in the United
States Circuit Court for the district
of Minnesota, to test the validity of
the merger. The lawyers retained are
said to be William P. Clough, William
Nelson Cromwell and Francis L. Stet-
son, and the case will be argued by
ex-Attorney General John w. Griggs.
1t is said that the answer will be
that the Northern Securities Company
owns not more than 40 per cent. of the
Great Northern stock. or less than a
controlling interest. while it owns eS
per cent. of the Northern Pacific stock.
The lawyers of the defense hold that
there is no control of competing lines
and therefore there is no violation of
the antitrust law.

When a discriminating public for
public effect had jumped upon ragtime
and its popularity with the hoi polloi,
some one high in the musical world
came forward IN its defense. saying
that some of the worlds famous COM
posers had used it in classic music

under that name was worthy place in
any composition. Yet still the long

not reconciled. In the Chicago fed
