WOMAN SAYS PRAYER
is MOST DEGRADING
Mrs. WhitweII, spirituaIist, Also
Denounces Capital Pun
ishment Laws

God does not need your prayers or
sympathy Begging from Him for IA
vors through prayer is just as degrad-
ing as begging from fellow man."
declared Mrs. J. P. Whitwell in the
course of her address last night be-
fore the st. Paul Spiritualist Alliance,
at the Odd Fellows hall, Sixth and
Wabasha streets God realizing our
wishes before we can utter them will
fulfill them if they are good and should
be fulfilled continued Mrs. Whitwell.
Following UP these remarks in the
course of her address, which was en-.
titled Prayer and the Fulfillment,"
Mrs. Whitwell declared that parents
We're following wonderful precedent
when they taught their children to
look upon God as great king dressed
all in white and sitting upon a throne.
and that unless they prayed to Him
that He would not love them and
dark spirits would come and get
them. She thought that rather the
parents should tell their children that
He loved them all and that they should
love Him; and that the children should
be taught to place themselves in oom-
municatien with Him through the
spirit world.
Laws Are Unjust
Continuing, she assailed the capital
punishment laws, declaring them un-
just and sins against the laws of God.
She declared that when juror was
ABOUT to vote for a verdict which
would return a sentence of death
against fellow man he should pause
to consider that the soul of that un-
fortunate man would have to remain,
according to spiritualistic doctrines. in
ignorance and suffering until such time
as 1T would naturally have entered the
spirit world.
Mrs. Whitwell interpolated into her
address the assertion that thought
rays sent forth by the members Of the
Spiritual alliance We're mOlding the
denominational church congregations
and denominational pulpits in the right
way of living and the right way of
teaching.
Lays Down Motto
In closing her address she laid down
the following motto for the guidance
of Spiritualists:
Man, woman and child understand
thysef and obey the laws of the ma
tion until YOU can make better and
until the husbands and fathers, broth
erS and sons can take their wives and
daughters, sisters and mothers to the
ballot box with them to make laws
that will be an honor to the country"

EXPIRES BY LAW
John Forster Is Declared to Be
Legally Dead
Special to The Globe

Special to The Globe
= ST. CLOUD, Jan. 29.-Judge Han
sen, in the probate court, today de-
cfared John Forster, former resident
OF Albany, Mimi, legally dead, dis
charged his wife as administrator of
has estate and divided the property be-
longing to him among the widow and
their six children. Forster may be
alive and well for all anyone in this
locality knows, but legally he is dead.
In May, 1893, Forster, who was a
prosperous farmer in the town of AL
bany, told his wife he was going West
to the. gold fields of Idaho. He did not
offer to dispose of his farm and prop
erty, but left saying that when he was
located he would send for her and the
children. Forster left in high spirits.
confident that he was about to make
his fortune. and he has not been heard
from from that day to this.
Last May, when he had been gone
twelve years, Mrs. Forster filed peti>
-Jlon In the probate court for the ap-
poIntnlent of an administrator of her
husband'S estate. Letters of adminis-
tratlon were issued to her and now that
the estate has been properly prAbated
she has been discharged. Forster has
been declared legally dead and the
property has been divided between the
woman and her six children. The final
decree was made this afternoon.
The case is without parallel in the
courts of Stearns county, and the pc
culiar part of it is that while legally
Forster is dead, if he is alive he NAV
return at any time and compel the
wife and children to return the prop
erty, for the probate court has no ju-
risdiction over the affairs of a person
alive and mentally capable of looking
after his own interests. 1t is not an
ticipated, however, that Forster will
return to claim the property, which is
worth several thousand dollars

KANSAS LEGISLATURE.

Topeka, Kan, Feb. 22-On account
OF small attendance of members
the Kansas house deferred it's con-
sideration of the anti-discrimination
bill until next Friday. 1t will be made
a special order for that date, and
will be pushed through as rapidly as
possible. Tie Haldren bill, prohibit
ing the pumping Of gas, will be con-
sidered by the senate this week.
It is conceded that these bills will
pass, and this will end the battle for
the oil producers, SO far as legislation
is concerned. Some action will be
taken regarding further investigation
Of the Standard in this state. It is
likely that Kansas will make an in
dependent investigation in addition to
the one promised by the government.
If state investigating committee is
appointed attention will be given TO
the charge that the Santa Fe railway
is interested with the Standard in
working against the Kansas oil pro-
ducers.
Topeka, Feb. 21-Beyond recon-
mending the Belts bill for passage
the senate accomplished no import
ant legislation. A lot of local bills
and unimportant measures were rail
roaded through the committee of the
whole. That was about all.
A few bills are dribbling in. Sena-
tor Haskell introduced one yester-
day morning of considerable import
ance. 1t provides for the establish
ment OF salt plant at the State Re
formatory at Hutchinson and appro
PIRATES $4,000 to equip the plant and
$4,000 to run it when it is equipped.
The idea is to provide cheaper salt
and work for the inmates of the Re-
formatory. 1t would employ about
go people.
Just before the senate adjourned
Haskell introduced resolution
changing Senator Noftzger's name to
Grammar Thomas. The resolu-
ton went over under the rules. but
will probably be adopted Monday.
Noftzger gets his title as senate
grammarian from the fact that he
is the only member Of that body who
can dig into a mess of phraseology
and tag a split infnitive.
The bill making pipe lines com
mon carriers is up TO Governor Hocb.
house amendments, which were
minor in their nature. The interest
aroused by Kansas legislation on oil
and gas matters is intense all over
the country. Secretary Kretsinger
of the senate is receiving dozens of
communications asking for copies OF
the different bills.

UPHOLBS KANSAS DECISION.
Judge Brewer Says Antitrust Law in.
Kansas Is Valid.

Washington, Feb. 22.-The validity
of the Kansas antitrust law was to-
day upheld by the Supreme Court of
the United States by Justice Brewer
in the case of Edmund j. Smiley,
plaintiff in error. VS.. the State OF
Kansas. Smiley in 1900 was secre-
tary of a state grain dealers associa-
ton and the allegation in this case
was that he organized the wheat deal
ers i'll the town of Bison, Rush
county. into a trust to control the
price of wheat at that place. The
Supreme Court OF the state sustained
the prosecution against him and jus
tice Brewers opinion upholds that
verdict. He based his decision on the
ground that the law was in harmony
with The power OF the state to control
It's own police affairs and therefore
not antagonistic TO the federal con-
stitution.

HISTORY OF STANDARD OIL.

Many attempts have been made to
bring the Standard Oil company to
account. So far, these have met with
indifferent success. Some years ago
the concern was, in the strict sense
of the term. trust. 1t was a pool
whose members owned q great num-
Der of oil properties in various parts
OF the country. The law had this
much terror for It, it forced it to aban-
don this somewhat loose form of or
ganiZat!on and become an incorpor-
ated company. But the change was in
name rather than in fact The public
are no wiser regarding the affairs of
the combine than before; and it is
rot easy to see how they have bene-
flied in any direction.
The Standard Oil company has be-
come a tremendous factor in Amer
lean finance. Up to say fifteen years
ago not much was said about it apart
from the oil industry; but it used to
occasion very lively talk In connection
with that industry. Tradition painted
its methods in black colors. 1t had
determined to acquire a monopoly in
the oil business, and had practically
succeeded. Competition went down
before 1t like a card house at the
touch of a finger. II a man with a
few hundreds of capital bought one or
two teams and attempted to peddle
any other oil than that made by the
Standard OIL company, he speedily

found it advisable to retire from bust
ness. The same was the case with
the man who had his thousands
locked up in extensive plants. In
either instance he was offered a price,
often a generous one. If he conclud-
ed to accept it, we'll and good for him.
The few who decided to fight it out
found their pocketbooks much thin
ner.
The profits of the concern were so
enormous that 1t eventually became
hard to find employment for them.
The owners Of the Standard Oil COM
pany bought into one railroad after
another. They were, for example, re-
puted a powerful factor in the Chi
cago, Milwaukee 6 St. Paul road back
in the sos. Somewhere around 1890
their names began gradually to re-
place those OF the old leaders in Wall
street. They kept branching out, first
bringing one great stock market en-
terprise and then another under their
control. In retrospect, Jay Gould
seems a small man beside them.
Eventually they caught up with the
Vanderbilts as railroad magnates. In
1901 they we're believed to be back Of
Hartman in the Northern Pacific
fight. To-day they are reputed to
have the dominant voice in the great
est railroad combine in the world.
Tomorrow, it is feared, the whole rail-
road situation of the United States
may be at their dictation.
But oil and railroads have not alone
absorbed their energies. They have
been active in many other directions

CONGRESSIONAL NOTES.

Washington, Feb. %. = The house
today after seven-hour session
passed the naval appropriation bill,
carrying a total OF 1921, 1853. The.
provision for two battleships as re,
ported by the committee on naval af-
fairs was retained. Both the major
ity and the minority were badly dt
vided over the proposition, at least
forty members Of the latter going
over to the Republicans. while about
an equal number of Republicans
voted in opposition. Several import
ant changes we're made in the bill.
The proposed increase of 100 men
and officers for the marine corps was
stricken out, as was also the pro
vision authorizing the construction of
a collier somewhere else than at the
Mare Island navy yard in California
In order to do tho work better an ap-
preparation of $4,000 was inserted
for the proper equipment of the Mare

Russia Wins in the North American
Sea Controversy.

Paris, Feb. -. - a senli-officiaf
statement appeared regarding the
work OF the International commission
which has been considering the
North Sea incident 1t says the com
mission ha; decided the contention III
favor of Russia
London.-A strong chord of indig
nation is sounded by the London
daily newspapers over the semi-ofIi-
cial statement relative to the de
cision OF the North Sea commission
giving to Russia the victory, but il is
still hoped that the publication of the
full text of the report may modify the
impression produced by the prelimin-
airy version. which is one of intense
disappointment. The Daily Mail goes
so far as 10 declare it has dealt a
death blow to arbitration. Some OF
the newspapers blame the govern
ment strongly for ever consenting TO
subject sllch matter to arbitration,
while some OF the government organi-
cations find cold comfort in the fact
that the country by doing so avoided
a war with Russia. No question Is
raised that the decision must be re-
spected and Great Britain's share Of
the heavy costs viii be ruefully paid
but it is considered that the decision
leaves the question of neutral rights
on the sea in deplorably unsatisfac-
tory state and creates a dangerous
precedent
