FIGHTING THE GREAT NORTHERN
Canadian Pacific Influence Opposes II In
Vancouver

vancouver.
Special to The Journal. ay%
Vancouver, B. c., Sept. 15.-The city
council is obstructing the entrance Of the
Vancouver 6. Yukon railway which is In
tended to give the Great Northern access
to the city and the port. The plea ad-
vanced by the council is that the right OF
way asked will interfere with harbor navi-
cation and safe street traffic in the east
end Of Vancouver. There Is niorea than
a little suspicion that Canadianf HEacific
influence is behind the council in the mat
ter as the points raised regarding streets
and free shore are easily capable Of adj
justment In the public interest, - It is
notable, too, that infinite aggression on
the part Of the Canadian Pacific has here
met with but the faintest municipal OPP
position In the past The people Of Van
couver, however, want the competing Sec
| ond transcontinental railway badly and
the dominion government at Ottawa will
grant it the further necessary facilities.
It is more than likely also that the
provincial government of British Colum-
bia will aid with the grant Of certain
necessary Or desirable public rights.
Hence the early entrance Of the Great
Northern into Vancouver is practically as
sured to British Columbia, and various
districts in the upper, and lower. country
are eagerly expectant also of railroad de-
velopments that will aid them, Eihs Con-
nection with Mr.. Hills systeuss ssg{a III

n Further, the Norman church claims
and teaches supreme authority, divinely
sanctioned, to control its members in civil
as we'll as in religious affairs. We, there
fore, urge that Senator smoot, an apostle
of said 3 church, be- expelled from the
United States senate as one giving his
highest allegiance to a government other
than the republic Of the United States OF
America, and as therefore wholly ineligible
to seat In the highest legislative body
Of the republic"
In the accompany directions it is sug-
gested that the signatures should be chief
ly those Of persons representing organiza-
tons, as these have more weight. An
other suggestion Is to keep up the storm
by sending the petitions along by install
ments as they are secured, and then fol-
low them UP by personal letters and tele-
grams to members Of congress. The df-
rect work for an antipolygamy amend
ment to the United States constitution will
be carried on along with the special ef-
fort to GUST Senator Smoot.

DOESN'T LIKE UNIONS
The Mormon Church Takes Stand

New York Sun Special Service. Il
Salt Lake, Utah, Sept. 15.The Mormon
church has gone on record as the enemy
OF labor unions and trade organizations.
President Angus NJ Cannon outlined the
church's policy in an simpassioned speech
delivered at the quarterly session.
Cannon scored the labor unions in
strong terms and then launched into an
attack on the principles Of trades union
ism. He asked If it were liberty and
freedom when a man is compelled to join
an association in order to keep his family
from starving to death. He declared this
was the case in trade 1nionism. Cannon
warned all Mormons to beware OF unions

A Story.

Bath, n. Y, April 13.-The first con-
sideration of the C~ommandant and
Officers in the conduct of the Soldiers
and Sailors Home here is the health
of the veterans. Kidney Troubles are
the most common cause Of ailment,
very few of the old men escaping these
in some form or other.
OF course the comrades do as much
as possible for themselves and n Of
the most popular and useful remedies
employed is Dodd's Kidney Pills which
seem to be almost infallible in cases
Of Kidney arrangements. Indeed,
there are among the veterans several
who claim to owe their lives to Dodd's
Kidney Pills.
For instance, A. e. Ayers, who came
to the home from Minneapolis, Mimi,
was given up by four doctors in that
city. lie had Bright's disease and new
er expected to live through it, but his
life was saved and his health restored
by DOdd's Kidney Pills.
His experience has made the remedy
very popular among the men, and no
one who has used Dodd's Kidney Pills
for any Kidney Trouble has been dis
appointed.

at this point in his narrative, Dom
Gregory, as those happy few who are
familiar with his manuscript in the
Abbey of Bonnie Adventure are aware
DIVORCES from the full current of his
story to indulge in some philosophical
reflections upon the character Of Louis
XII.
What, Dom Gregory asks in cautious
interrogation, were the real intentions
Of the monarch with regard to Fran
co.'s Villon and the Lady Katherine de
Vaucelies? HIS enemies no doubt as
sert tha. he played with their destinies
for a purely malignant purpose and was
only prevented from carrying his evil
intentions into effect by the storm of
popular indignation that threatened
him. Others, again, who pretend to q
more intimate acquaintance with the
shifty character Of the king, insist that
he did indeed purpose to send Master
Vlllon to the galloWs, or at least and
worse, into a beggar's exile, but that
he was stayed by Master Vilon's happy
use OF the phrase concerning a star
fallen from heaven, which words, harp
ing upon the superstitious wits Of his
majesty, made him believe that the
dream which had puzzled him was in
terpreted and fulfilled. In this regard
Dom Gregory records with a sly gray
ity how many suggest that Master
Francois used those words of set pur-
pose with the very intention of playing
upon the strained strings Of the kings
mind. But there be those, too, Dom
Gregory adds, and we gather from his
manner that he is Inclined to include
himself in their number, there be those
partisans Of the king who maintain
that the kings cruelty was from the
start q mere mask for clemency, that
he only intended a little malicious
sport with the too outspoken lover and
the too disdalnful lass, and that 1t had
never been in the scope of his thoughts
seriously to punish either the broker Of
ballads or the valiant maid Of Vau-
celles.
Starting from this point, Dom Greg
DRY INDUCES in a great many reflections
upon kings and kingship and the on
sequences of kingly acts, all of which
seemed perhaps more momentous at
the time when they were written and
In the sleepy abbey where they lie en-
shrined, han in buster and more
busting times. One could have wished
that Dom Gregory had let such phil
osophies go by the board and had Civ
en- us Instead some greater knowledge
OF what happened to Francois Villon
and Katherine de Vaucelles after they
fell upon each others necks in tina
pen place in Paris, with the mob huz-
zahing, the king staring and Tristan's
strange satellites busily dismantling
the useless gibbet. But here Dom Greg
DRY is little less than dumb. Losses
in the manuscript account for much of
his silence; perhaps his ecclesiastical
indifference to the welded state may
account for more. If we Fan gather
vaguely from other sources hat the
poet and his mistress settled down on
a small and quiet estate in Poitou, lived
a peaceful country life for many years
and died a peaceful country death at
the end, it is the most we can hope to
gain with surety. We are glad to be-
lieve in their happiness, for he was a
true lover and she was a fair m

HORSE SYNDICATE
CASES ON TRIAL
Columbus, Ohio, Firm Trying
to Collect From Unwill-
ing Purchasers.
HAD a CLEVER SCHEMt
Names Sianed in a Little Memorandum
Book Turn Out to Be Signatures
to an lroneIad Con-
tract.

Sioux Falls, s. D., April 13.-Stock-
men will be interested in several cases
TO be tried before the United States
court, now in session In this city.
The cases grew IA Of the sale OF
Percheron horses by a Columbus, o.,
firm to syndicates of stockmen in sew
eral localities in South Dakota The
Columbus horse dealing firm last No
vember shipped to Highmore what they
claimed was the largest and best Perch
eron stallion in the United States. The
agent of the firm proposed to sell the
animal to a company of twenty or more
stockmen for Zoo. The price of one
share. $3.50, did not seem to be at all ex-
Orbitant.
The agent started out to secure a list
of twenty or more stockmen to take the
animal of his hands. He approached
different ones and represented that he
wanted only to secure a list of names,
and hat if, upon examination, they did
not want TO go into the deal, they
could take their names off the list.
In this manner he secured twenty sig
natures. some of the parties examined
the horse and concluded that they did
not want him, and so notified the agent.
The agent informed them that they had
already purchased an interest in the
animal.
Then he produced a memorandum
book with their names written on a
page, at the top of which was a con-
tract in small print. This contract
bound each one TO sign a joint note;
some offered to pay cash for the share
and thus be relieved Of the note, but
his would not be accepted unless the
full 81, 1000 was put up in cash.
Thinking that they were in for 1T, nine
of the twenty signed the note and the
other eleven refused. The note was
then sent to the headquarters Of the
firm in Columbus, and they Immediately
commenced a suit in the United States
court in this city against the eleven
who had refused to attach their Sig
natures to the note.
The defendants have secured the SER
vices Of able attorneys and will fight
the suit to u finish.
At other points in the state the agent
of the firm adopted similar methods,
and in the cases of these who refused to
sign the notes the firm has commenced
suits in the federal court.

Ways Will Be Found to Handle the
Railroad Situation,

New York, April Iii. Pierpont
Morgan said concerning the decision OF,
the Securities case:
The right of two or more railroads
to be operated by a holding company
will be taken tosthe United States SUI
preme court at Washington.
Capital all over the country is anx-
ious to know it's rights in the matter of
railroad construction and operations;
railroad men wish to know where they
stand.
Both railroads held by the Northern
Securities company still exist and are
doing a good business.
when railroad men know exactly
how the law is to be interpreted they
will find good way to see that proper
ties are operated economically n
proftably."
President j. J. Hill Of the Northern
Securities company said, speaking of
the decision:
"All l can say at this time is that the
roads of the Northern Securities. COM
pany are showing good earnings, the
Custer weekly chronicle. [volume] (Custer City, S.D.) 1890-1931, 1903-04-18

Decision Is a Victory for the Deter
mined Policy of tho President.

The decision against the Northern
Securities is another great victory for
the determined policy Of President
Roosevelt to exhaust all of
antitrust laws against the big COM
bines. When he ordered the attorney
general to open suit against the COM
pany every effort was made to call him
off. 1t has been stated that Hin, Nor
gan and their political representatives
repeatedly went to Washington and
urged the president to drop his prose-
%Cution, but he declined to listen to
them.
1t is too early to judge political eff
fects Of the decision. If sustained by
supreme court it may add to the hos
tility Of the trusts against the
president; but on the other hand
It will increase public confidence
in the president as the right man to
enforce the laws. On the whole 1t
would seem that the political advan-
tage is decidedly with the president.
Lawyers will begin to interest them
selves, doubtless, In the question
whether his decision is applicable to
the United States corporation and 9TH
or great concerns.

His words fell on the kings ears like
the voice Of an oracle. Standing in his
place with staring yes and trembling
fingers, he repeated falteringly the
mystic words.
"A star has fallen from heaven. My
dream, my dream!"
Olivier plucked at his mantle, whis-
pering with twitching lips:
MY liege, this story spreads like the
plague in the city and every alley vom-
it's mutiny."
Louis pushed him aside.
Rub your pale cheeks" he said; "for
all is well. Destiny has spoken"
Then leaning over and stretching his
thin hand towards the crowd, he cried:
People of Paris, that man shall have
his life: this woman her lover. l have
tried a mans heart and found 1t pure
gold; a woman's soul and found 1t all
angel. True man and true woman, to
each others arms!"
And katherine and Villon obeyed thu
king.
