ADVERTISING FOR MILEAGE.

A very sane view Ol lIe l-pdss
law in South Dakota has been made
public by Attorney General Clark of
newspapers can exchange advertising
for transportation under their common
law right of contract just as they can
exchange advertising for clothing or
merchandise. The exchange must be
bona fide in that the advertising is
sold at cash rates and is accepted by
railroads within such reasonable limi-
tations as to preclude any suspicion Of
the railroads having any motive other
than the ordinary commercial use Of
the publicity specified in the contract.
He says:
1t is my opinion that il an advertis-
ing contract were entered into in good
faith between a publisher and rail-
road company whereby certain specl-
fed amount Of Transportation is to be
exchanged for certain specified
amount of advertising-the company
receiving in advertising the same val
lie that it would receive in money, and
the publisher receiving in transporta-
ton the same value that he would re-
ceive in money for the same service
that this would not be in violation of
the anti-pass law Of 1907.
l see nothing in the act that would
prohibit a publisher from receiving
transportation from railroad COM
pany providing he receives it in good
faith and gives the same value for 1t
that others would have to give. If a
publisher does 800 worth of work in
advertising, at regular rates, for a rail-
road company, I can see no violation
in the letter or spirit of the law by his
receiving pay in 500 worth of trans
portation if he chooses, instead OF re-
ceiving 500 in cash; and In that event
such transportation could not be
termed free transportation any more
than if the publisher received the $500
in cash and bought 500 worth of
transportation with 1t.
Therefore, a contract to that effect
between the publisher and the railroad
company would in my opinion, be val
id and would not be In violation of the
anti-pass law. The contract so made
must be in good faith and not sub
terfuge, for if it appears that a large
amount of transportation is being re-
ceived for very small amount of ad-
vertising. or If the rates Of advertising
are different from the usual and cur
rent rates charged by the publisher to
another person for Il like service, then
such contract would be regarded as a
mere evasion Of the law.

SUBSTITUTE FOR ALLISON.

national committeeman. was there, so

fairs close to the transportation inter

their presence that the blind of the
Allison candidacy is to be kept up for
some weeks longer, at least until il
can be definitely decided who is the
strongest man to substitute in his place
against Cummins.
But there are signs OF shifting
scenes as unmistakable as the shrill
whistle Of the stage manager audible
from the wings to those on the first
row seats. The old age argument is
to be reversed and turned upon the
men who have been working it against
Allison. Allison is 10. Cummins is 81.
Shaw is 90 and Walter |. Smith is As.
Those who have been unable to meet
the old age objection to Allison when
Cummins is % years younger, would
now put the Cummins men on the de-
fensive by opposing him with Smith,
some twelve years younger than Cum
Minis. There are plenty of newspaper
warnings that this is a favorite pro-
gram with many.

Popular Religion.
(Christian Advocate)

(Chr1Stlan AdVocate)
1T avoids all conflict with the world.
Against the grosser immoralties, in
deed, it lifts up it's voice; for 1t is re-
spectacle to do so, and a large proper
ton of all connected with the church
are above the more debasing forms OF
vice. But against pride producing
and extravagant fashions Of the world
it utters but faint protest, or none.
Popular religion seeks wealth with
as much greediness, and grasps as eag-
erly after honor, and runs as swiftly
after pleasure as does the world A
la: e majority Of the professors of
Christs religion seek their most in
innate associations in worldly society,
and never think of lifting up their
voices against the prevalent folly and
dissipation. 1t is not in the least en-
barrassng for the most gay and
thoughtless to be thrown into the
company Of Christians of the popular
religion type. Days and weeks may
pass away and no mention be made
Of Christ or Of anything he ever did
or said, or which might lead persons TO
think OF his religion.
Popular religion has very easy
conscience, as shown by many things.
1t makes distinction between equal
ly binding duties, performing those
which are convenient, agreeable, and in
harmony with the natural instincts or
dispositions, and neglecting others
which require self-denial. Thus there
are many possessed of large incomes
who pray and sing. but will not con-
tribute their means to the support OF
the GOSPEL. Others are willing to con-
tribute literally but pay no attention
to the spiritual work of the church.
Popular religion enters upon doubtful
enterprises If they promise large pc
cuniary rewards. 1t makes every
form OF excuse for neglect Of duty.

Need of Purgatory.

(ReV. John ThOmpSOn)
Protestants and Catholics are agreed
that some place of purgatory is need
ed to fit the soul for heaven. So the
Protestant has his purgatory as well
as the Catholic. The difference is a
difference in kind, time, and place. The
Catholic has purgatory after death,
while the Protestant has his purga-
tory before death. The Catholic pur-
gatory is place Of tribulation,
torturng pains and fires. The Profess
tant finds his purgatory at the cross
of Jesus Christ, and the fire that
burns and purities him is the fire OF
enthusiastic devotion to Jesus Christ.
Religion is to man who finds his
purgatory at the cross Of Jesus Christ,
and the set rules or cold observance
of ordinances. 1t is warm hearted
passionate enthusiasm for Jesus
