PETER J. BoRasTRoM.

The application for new
trial for Mr.. Borgstrom who
was convicted at a recent term
of court of misappropriating
public moneys has been denied
by the supreme court and the
sentence of the trial court will
be executed. This means that
besides losing the office and
salary of register of deeds, Mr..
Borgstrom will have to pay a
fine of $500 and serve twelve
months in the penitentiary at
Saltwater, at hard labor. This
seems to be an unjust sentence
in view of all the facts, but
there appears to be no remedy
as the matter has gone quite
beyond the reach of help "and
the honor and dignity of the
law must be maintained" The
offense consisted of the taking
by Mr.. Borgstrom of $62.50
which should by law have
gone into the treasury, although
he followed the custom of his
predecessor in office in taking
these fees, and according to
his understanding of the law
he was entitled to them. JUS
tice is one thing and law >en-
tire1y another. Mr.. Borgstrom
is entitled to sympathy. He
was always considered an
honorable and upright citizen
and this unfortunate circum-
stance will mar his whole fu-
ture life, when really it does
not seem that he deserved so
severe punishment. We hope
Immediate action will be taken
to secure his pardon, and that
the proper influence will be
brought to bear on the pardon
ing board to secure it.

\ At the annual conference of
the state humane society, ac-
cording to the published re-
ports, some of the speakers rec
commended shot guns in deal
ing with tramps. There are
some excellent people connect
ed with that organization who
are in no wise to blame for the
character of their associates,
but if all the blatant frauds
were eliminated the societys 8
roster would look like a pune
tured football.

1T SERVES THEM RIGHT.

The Chicago City Railway
company is making a desper-
ate effort to incite it's men to
strike. It gave publicity to
the fact that it proposed to re-
duce wages. The men then
formed a union. The company
discharged the leaders of the
union. The men threatened to
strike, but decided not to do so.
The company then circulated a
report that "no Irish need
apply" and discharged more
union men. Sam Allerton, a
Chicago millionaire, and chief
owner of the road, declared
that he did not care how soon
the men struck, that "there
were 10000 idle men in Chicago
who would be glad to take
their places"
Strange sort of revival of
industry, when 10000 idle men
in one city stand ready to take
the place of their fellows, who
are resisting a reduction of
wages during the dawning
days of prosperity.
A few months ago these
street car men held a meeting
and appointed a committee to
call on the members of the city
council and urge them to vote
against a reduction III street
railway fares from 8 cents to
4 cents, claiming that it would
mean less wages for them.
The council listened and voted
against the reduction. Now
the wages of the men are to be
reduced.
It serves them right. They
should be discharged and men
appointed to take their places.

themselves to other things
which will give the employer
more value for the meagre
pittance that the necessity of
keeping his slaves out of the
graveyard compels him to give.
He would have workingmen in
their organizations confne
themselves to those things
which logically belong to
craftsman's apprentice years
and, following this principle,
under his tutelage the mem
bers of his own organization
the Duluth local of the n. A.
S. E.-during a time that the
trade unions have fully main
tanned wages by the power of
organization, have suffered
a reduction in wages of from
% to 90 per cent.
Mr.. Hugo is known to all the
organized men in Duluth as an
anti-union man, and to his per-
sonal influence is attributed all
the difficulties thrown in the
way of organizing the station
ary engineers. The idea of
representatives of organized
labor booming Mr.. Hugo as
their champion is decidedly
rich.

WHICH-LABOR FAKES OR FAKE
REPORTSP


The News Tribune Monday
morning contained an article
relative to n1ayoralty candi-
dates that to some of the inter-
ests referred to was decidedly
amusing. According to the
article in question delegation
representing organized labor
called on Mr.. Giles Gilbert
with an urgent request that he
run for mayor. Mr.. Gilbert
may be an ideal candidate for
mayor, but it will be news to
most of the members of organ
lied labor that they are just
pining for a chance to vote for
Mr.. Gilbert for that office.
In this connection it might
not be amiss to state that the
would-be servant of the people
who pins his faith to the rep
reservations of any self-appoint-
ed committee that assumes to
speak for organized labor, is
hugging to his bosom howl
ing delusion.
Organized labor does not
recognize the right of any man
or bunch of men to speak for it
unless they are expressly dele
gated with that authority. The
man, no matter how wide his
acquaintance or experience in
tho ranks may be, who assumes
such a function is not. only
very presumptuous, but he is
mighty foolish. Union men
have minds of their own and
while they sometimes expressly
delegate authority to their
leaders, the right to speak
their political convictions and
preferences are never among
the powers so granted.
The News Tribune write e-up
proceeds:
'"The committee is reported to have
said then that their candidate would be
r. w. Hugo and failing in him they
would support Mayor Truelsen for re-
election. Mr.. Gilbert says that Mayor
Truelsen has done much better than
had been expected of him and thinks
that he will be a large factor when it
comes to sitting out the candidates.
Mr.. Gilbert takes an active interest in
municipal matters but says that he
does not wish to make the run for
mayor"
This is evidently another
monumental joke. True, Mr..
Hugo is a great organization
man-that is for what he calls
educational purposes. He
would have organizations,
though, that give no offense to
employers, no matter how op-
pressive or tyranical; organiza-
tons that would taboo ques-
tons of wages, conditions of
employment, etc., and cOnfine
