The Worthington advance. [volume] (Worthington, Minn.) 1874-1908, 1903-01-30

1t is quite clear from the revela-
tions before the anthrctie commits
sion that assertions by either part y
are not evidence John Mitchell in
his last speech to the commission
stated that 5000 miners were out of
employment in the anthracite dis
trict because they had been black
listed. On the contrary, the super
intendent of the Lehigh Valley rail
road AYERS he does not believe there
are 300 qualified miners out of en-
ployment at the present time. The
colier1es are working to their fullest
capacity, and it is to their interest
of the operators to produce as much
coal as possible when the prices
are 50 high. Mitchell desires to make
a point against what he called "black
isting," but he failed when his
testimony was confronted with that
Of the superintendent of Lehigh
Valley road, with from his daily
experience is more Likely to know
whether there are 5000 or 800 per-
sons out Of employment.
Mitchell began the Investigation
with a strong reputation in his
favor, out ]atterly he has been so
careless as to involve himself in
statements that could be sustained
only by his mere assertion. We
trust the wrong to the miners will
be fully rectified, but in order to
obtain that justice it is not necessary
to overstate their case. Mitchell
peceives how much non.combatants
are suffering from the coal famine,
and therefore strives to cast all the
blame upon other parties than the
strikers.
President Mitchell now declares
that the railroads are to blame for
not shipping the coal as promptly as
they ought to, yet Mitchell forgets
that this is vast country and that

It will be the general opinion of
the civilized world that the Smelling
of the fort of San Carlos and the
incidental destruction of the Venez-
.uelan village Of that name by the
German warships is an act un-
warrnted by the present position Of
affairs between Germany and Ven
ezuelan and repugnant to conside IA
lions of humanity.
In the first place it is to be re-
membered that the difference be-
tween the two countries are almost
wholly of financial character.
True, the Venezuelans were exas-
perating at the outset in refusing
any guarantee for the payment of
Just debts and indefensible in Offer
ing mob violence to German and
other foreign residents of Carcaras
when measures were undertaken by
the government Of Germany and
Great Britain for calling them to
account. But the Germans pushed
harshness to:an extreme when they
sank Venezuelan ships, and they are
pushing it to d further extreme in
their present conduct. The situation
is now different from what it
was when the allied fleets first ap.
peared off the harbor of La Guayra.
Since that time negotiations for
a peaceful settlement have bee n
made, and both sides have agreed
to reference of the matters in dis
pute to arbitration by the interna-
tional at The Hague. The whole
affair is as if a rich and strong man
who had suit against a poor and

WEEDS

Consumption is a human
weed fourishing best in weak
lungs. Like other weeds it's
easily destroyed while young;
when old, sometimes i'm
possible.
Strengthen the lungs as you
would weak land and the
weeds will disappear.
The best lung fertilizer is
SCOTS Emulsion. Salt pork
is good too, but it is very hard
to digest.
The time to treat consump-
ton is when you begin trying
to hide it from yourself.
Others see it, you won't.
Don't wait until you can't
deceive yourself any longer.
Begin with the first thought
to take SCOTS Emulsion. If
it isn't really consumption so
much the better; you will soon
forget it and be better for the
treatment. If it is consump-
ton you can't expect to be
cured at once, but if you will
begin in time and will be
rigidly regular in your treat
1nent you will win. ,
SCOTS Emulsion, fresh air,
rest all you can, eat all you
G can i, that's the treatment and
that's the best treatment.

1t appears that the subcommittee
of the House Judiciary committee
has at last agreed on an antitrust
measure embodylng the 'irreduci-
leb minimum of the new Roose-
velt-Knox programme-and some
thing else in addition. The, Attorney
General, as know from Washington
reports, has twice revised the sub
committee's effort, but it is not pos
lively stated that in it's present form
the draft of the trust bill meets
with his full approval. Perhaps the
gentleman Of the overworked and
preplexed subcommittee have con-
cluded to disregard Mr.. Knox's in
situations.
At any rate, the first few sections
of the proposed bill provide for
publicity-a feature conspicuous by
its absence from the Knox commune
cation setting forth to the two judi
iciary committees the imperative
minimum of antitrust legislation
up to date. The President and the
Attorney General suggested merely
a first step toward publicity, :"
while the subcommittee measure
imposes upon all corporations en-
gagged in interstate or foreign com
MERGE a large degree Of pubility,
though it provides that the COM
MERGE commission, to which the
reports are to be made may excuse
corporations, from furnishing
elaborate and detailed returns
when such returns shall be deemed
impracticable.
The fifth section prohibits the
granting soliciting or accepting of
rebates or special concessions, and
facilities with respect to interstate
commerce. Violations of this
section will be punished by a fine of
not less than 1000. Imprisonment
is eliminated as 'sanction,'' in
Difference to public opinion, which
does not approve Of harsh and
degrading penalties in cases Of this
description.
But the crucial, the radical and in
constitutional sense doubtful
sections are the sixth and seventh,
which provide that no corporate on
engaged in the production, manu-
acture or sale of any article of CON-
MERGE shall violate any of the pro-
visions Of the preceding section, or
attempt to monopolize or control
the production, manufacture or sale
in any particular locality by discrim-
ination in prices or by giving special
privileges OF rebates in order to de-
stroy competation, or use any of the
facilities of interstate commerce, or
in any way engage in interstate COM
MERGE for the purpose of doing or
faciliting such production, manufact
ure or sale with such intent; nor
shall any other person or corpora
ton use any of the facilities of inter
state commerce or in any way en-
gage in interstate commerce in buy
ing, selling or disposing of any
article of commerce for the purpose
of enabling the first mentioned cor
portion to engage or to continue in
production manufacture or sale or
control with such intent. These
sections also prohibit common
carriers from knowingly" trans
porting any property produced, man
ufactured or sold in violation of any
provision of this act, or of the Sher-
man act, or of the interstate COM

Your Summer Holiday.

Nature intended that we should spice
up our daily toll with short butterfly
exit to some beautiful lake resort during
the hot summer months. This is plainly
evident both from our own natural de-
sires and the many interesting places so
lavishly provided.
Summer resorts such as Muskoka are
occupying a great deal of our attention,
because nature smiles upon us during
the summer season and we can then live
entirely out of doors, while we indulge
in boating, bathing, games of different
sorts and great variety OF other forms
of recreation.
No other section of the world is so
fortunately situated in this respect rs
the Province of Ontario. Muskoka with
its many beautiful lakes, winding rivers
and splendidly wooded islands, is within
easy reach by rail, or boat and rail. A
trip lasting but few hours north OF
Toronto, will transfer tired and hot hui
mainly to cool, peaceful surroundings,
such as the gods are supposed to envy.

Mrs. Phebe K. Sturtevant.

Mrs. Phebe Il. Sturtevant, the special
benefactreSs of Hebron Academy, died
at her home in Jamaica Plain, Mass,
Friday, from the effects of stroke OF
paralysis. To Mrs. Sturtevant and her
husband, the late b. +. Sturtevant, is
due large share of the present material
wealth and prosperity of this well
known institution. 1t was through Mr.
Sturtevant that the main academy build
ing, Sturtevant Hall, was erected, and
Mrs. Sturtevant surpassed all former
gifts, after the death of her husband, by
erecting the magnificent 100000 dormi-
tory, Sturtevant Home. This does not
by any means complete the list of her
benefactions to the academy, as smaller
gifts have been many aud frequent.

James l.. Parker.
DEATH OF FORMER SHERIFF OF OK.
FORD COUNTY.

James l.. Parker, former sheriff of
Oxford County and a man well known
throughout the county, died at East
Stoneham, Saturday, April II, aged ~
years. He had been in feeble health
from rheumatic troubles for number of
years.
Mr.. Parker was native of StOneham,
where he was born in 1881. In 1861 he
went to the South with the 5th Maine
Regiment as a sutler. After the war he
lived while in West Virginia. He also
resided for period in Pennsylvania.
He finally settled in his native town and
was appointed a deputy sheriff. Mr..
Parker was a conscientious official and
faithful in the discharge of his duties.
He was jailer for some years at the old
Jail ON Paris Hill, and in 1890 was nomi-
mated for sheriff by the Republican
county convention. To this office he
was duly elected, and served two terms
of two years each, according to the usage
of the party. He afterward served as
deputy sheriff until physically unable to
perform the services of such an officer.
Mr.. Parker's wife, whose maiden name
was Niece Merrill, died while he was
jailer at Paris Hill, and he soon after
went to Norway, making his home at
the Elm House in that place for several
years. The last few years of his life
were spent at Stoneham.
Mr.. Parker was member of the sever
al Masonic bodies up to the degree of
Knights Templar, also of the local lodges
of Odd Fellows and Knights of Pythias.
Always genial, companionable man, he
had host of friends, who never sought
his aid in vain.
No children were born to Mr.. and Mrs.
Parker, but they adopted and reared
one, Ernest S. Bartlett, a graduate of
Bowdoin and now in the pension depart
ment at Washington.
The funeral services were held on
Tuesday, Rev. Z. w. Pond being the
officiating clergyman. Mount Tirem
Lodge of Masons had charge of the
services, and Hiawatha Lodge, X. of p,
did escort duty.

Open Time on Trout Now.
FULL EXAMINATION OF OUR SOMEWHAT
COMPLICATED LAWS MAKES THIS
APPARENT.

The Democrat is obliged to admit that
Il full examination of the authorities
makes it appear that the open time on
trout begins this year, not on the 2Sth of
April, us stated last week, but when the
ice is out 1t was the legislature of 1901,
and not the legislature of 1903, which
changed the open time. This was done
by what is called private and special
law" so that the most careful search
of the public laws failed to reveal any
change relating to Oxford County until
the work of this years legislature APP
peared.
When change in public law affect
ing the whole of Oxford County is made
by so-called private and special law"
it is no wonder that our fish and game
laws are such complicated mass that
the ordinary sportsman needs digest
in his hand every time he steps out, and
that even two of the commissioners have
have been known to give opposite
answers to the same inquiry regarding
some disputed point.
But it's safe to go fishing in Oxford
County now-barring here and there
brook or pond-there's no doubt about
that.

Man Killed at North Woodstock.
HORSE FELL UPON HIM AND CRUSHED
HIS CHEST IN.

While Mr.. Edison Whitman of North
Woodstock was narrowing on side hill
piece of land, on Friday, with a spring
tooth harrow, the harrow caught upon
stone and when it gave way the tension
was so great that it threw the harrow up
on the horses. The horses became fright
ened and ran away, bringing up on an
apple tree, the tree between the two
horses. In the struggle one of the horses
plunged and fell upon Mr.. Whitman. A
boy gave the alarm but when help arriv-
ed Whitman was dead underneath one OF
the horses. Mr.. Alvah Andrews, the
undertaken, says that the chest of the de-
ceased was filled with blood. This is the
second man who has been killed by u
horse falling upon him in this vicinity
within the last three months.
