RESOLUTION.
Resolved, That this board does
hereby designate The MORRIS TR1B-

published at the village of Morris, in

All of the above expense was incurred
by the officers of the village of Morris in
furnishing drunkenness under the Schaef-
fer law. and nearly all the persons arrest
ed and prosecuted were so called
"tramps."
For the purpose of ascertaining the facts
in other counties your committee adj
dressed a letter to each of the county aud
itors of four counties in this state, which
said letter was as follows
Dear sir-Will you kindly inform me as
nearly as you can what number of arrests
have been made under the Schaeffer law
in your county in the last six months,
and the number of arrests and convic-
tions and probable expense to your coun-
ty arising from prosecutions under the
said law: l ask this for the purpose of
making comparison as between your
county and ours. Kindly oblige,"
The answers were as follows:

One Fire Warden Goes.

The fire commissioners held
a lively session Saturday and
as a result of their deliberations
Fire Warden Ramsbury will
look for another job. The COM
missioners were pretty bitter
over the alleged interference of
the council in the management
of their department and in par
ticular 1.-The charge that the
board had not lived up to it's
agreement with the council*in
the matter of retrenchment was
xyigorously repudiated.
It was claimed that there
was a prospective reduction of
from 10 to rs per cent in insur-
ance sales, and that any furth-
er Gripping of the department
in an effort at economy would
surely prevent the making of
the reduction.

: The social democracy is not
idle by any means. Mr.. Debs
has been negotiating with the
proper authorities at Nashville,
Tenn, for the construction for
that city of a 100000 railroad
on the plan that improvements
should be made to pay for
their own building and owned
by the people. He proposes,
or at least the organization of
which he is head does, to build
the road and turn over the pos
session of it to the city of
Nashville in consideration for
raising the money to. build it.
He promises to hire all tie un-
employed men who are strand
ed in that city after the close of
the centennial exposition. The
people of Nashville, it is said,
will Ell rage the city govern
ment to make the experiment.

An Apology.

To the Editor OF The Labor World:
DULUTH, MIMI, Oct. 5, 1914 few
days since your paper published COM
munication from me that seems to have
offended some of my fellow citizens, and
being of sensitive nature, and opposed
to offending any one, I will make an
apology by saying that did not mean
that everyone that used the streets
should pay the street car company for
doing SO, particularly on the streets
where they have no tracks laid, for as
have been told, since writing the letter
referred to, "vested rights means being
in possession of something that belongs
to the people; and then again when peo-
pie are going down town to pay their
water and light bills or even going up to
the courthouse to pay their taxes, and
the street cars are so crowded they can
not get standing room, they should not
be obliged 10 pay for walking or driving;
and, furthermore, I do not think that
Henry and bis relatives should be made
to pay the street-car or bridge company
for any service, as I understand they
have done good deal for both compan-
ies-of course, I presume, it was at the
expense of the city, but what of that?
Henry is good deal larger man than
Mckinley, and he gets $4,000 a year
from the government, while Henry and
his relatives only get about one tenth of
that sum from the City of Duluth as
straight salaries. I don't include the ex-
tras, as I am not supposed to know how
much the perquisites and rake-offs
amount to, say nothing about the gold
stars that some of them wear.
Yours truly,
j. j. H1BBARD.

The Tramp.

| No one hates a tramp worse
than we do; no one will d.
more, according to his ability
than we to rid the country O.
them; but no one realizes more
than we that it cannot be dc,lt
! by dealing blows at the tramps
themselves. We must remove
the cause by giving all men a
chance to earn a living, by re-
storing to them the God-given
right to apply their labor to
natures opportunities. But SO
long as the present conditions
exist, let noyrnan turn from his
door hui man being whose
only crime, so fat as we know
is that he is ::hungry. It won't
hurt you to give him a piece of
bread. You may be "entertain-
ing an angel unawares. s"
Chance it, anyway. You will
not miss it. When you look at
one of these unfortunate BROTH
ers flor brothers they are, how
ever much we may like to dis
own them), don't forget that lie
was born; he once had a moth
err, just as you had; he was
once a little boy, just as you
were; he was possibly the pet
of a kind father, just as you
were; he fell a victim to cir
cumstances, either of his own
or those over which he
had no control; in either case
he was unfortunate. He may
have a weird, sorrowful tale to
tell, and he may be telling the
truth. FOR aught that you may
know, he may have a wife and
little children of his own; it
may be that in some distant
state are those whose hearts
yearn for him, and who, with
loving eyes, may be vainly and
anxiously awaiting his he me
coming. Think of all these
things before you turn him
from your door. If he is an
imposter, you have only lost a
piece of bread at most. Wei
say again, chance it anyway

"Good wages are due to the
tariff" Oh, are they? We no.
tice, though, that when the 81
wood tin plate workers. re-
ceived a 10 to 20 per cent raise
the other day, it didn't come
until they organized, affiliated
with the American Federation
of Labor, and then, as evidence
that they meant business, quit
work and remained out on a
strike for nearly two weeks.
Tariffs aren't in it compared
with organization.

SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING.

At the special meeting of the council
held last Friday the tax levy for the on
suing year was productive of consider
able discussion and resulted in net re-
duction of $14,857.01 in the total levy.
OF this sum S11 .428.47 came out of the
fire department fund and S3,428.54 out
of the park fund. The salaries of the
members of the fire department we're
ordered paid, including the salaries of
the chief and others which an effort had
been made to hold up, and the move
ment to widen the rock cut on the
Engle & Osman contract was defeated.

was tame, nevertheless some important
matters were considered. The princi
pal feature was the discussion over thu
completion of the contract for building
the engines and boilers for the pump
house. A resolution was introduced
providing that the city should take
charge Of the works of the D. Clint
Prescott company and operate it until
the pumping machinery has been com
pleted. The resolution also provides
for 10 days notice to the Prescott com
pary and it's sureties, the Duluth Trust
company. a
| Alderman Harker wanted to advertise
for bids and relet the unfinished partso
the contract. At the instance of Alder
man Sang, Mr.. Hugo was called for and
it was explained by him that Mr.. Har-
ker's proposition would be cumbersome
and unsatisfactory in it's results. In an
swer to questions from vario Us aldermen
he said that the company's present en-
barassment was due to delay and that
for such delay the city was responsible.
. City Attorney Richards explained that
the contract provided for the operation
OF the plant by the city in case of su*h
an emergency as this. Mr.. Hugo furth-
or explained that one engine is ready to
be set up and the pumps and boilers
ready to be taken to Lakeview; No. 2
engine is almost completed and the rest
OF the machinery in various stages of
construction. There is a balance of
$4,000 due from the city on the con-
tract and he thought that Mr.. Prescott,
if offered $4,000, could quickly finish
the entire job. A couple of minor
amendments were adopted. one of which
reserves to the council the right to
change it's mind, and the resolution was
adopted without dissent.
A communication from 0. L. Young
informed the council that many of the
bonds for liquor licenses accepted were
practically worthless, and the ordinances
governing their bonds were habitually
violated.
The proposition to appropriate $25 for
the entertainment of the armor plate
plant came up again but was turned
down.
The ordinance granting franchise to
the Northern Electric Subway company
was passed. One mile of the subway
must be in operation within six months
from April, 1898.
Bayha & Go. gave notice that unless
two bills, for mattresses supplied to the
fire department. were paid, suit would
be instituted to recover the amounts.
The board Of public works reported "a
vorably request from D. A. Reed for
the payment of his salary for the months
OF May and June, amounting to $181.75.
A number of small estimates were al
lowed in connection with the water
works construction and various claims
for damages were received and referred.
The session closed with kick from
Alderman Jefferson about the failure of
the light and water committee to re-
port on what electric lights could be dis
pensed with. The result was the ad-
dition of the dissatisfied alderman to the
committee.

West Virginia. he worked in the salt
furnaces and went to school. In 1871 he
heard of Hampton Institute in Virginia.
He ut once made up his mind to enter
that institution. and going to Richmond
he worked there until he had enough
money to pay his way to Hampton In
stitute. which place he reached with 30
cents in his pocket. He remained at
Hampton three years. working his way
through. and graduated with honor.
After teaching In West Virginia. and
spending Il year In study Mt Wayland

to return to Hampton as teacher. In
this capacity he remained till 1881.
when application was made to General
Armstrong. of Hampton. by citizens of
Tuskcgec. Alabama. for some one to
start an institution ut Tuskegee on the
plan of Hampton. Mr.. Washington was
at once recommended for the position.

That nuts when dry may be restored to
freshness by soaking them In milk or In milk

should be drawn and the lungs fully ex-
panded.
That in either hot or cold weather the
windows should be open at night and the
house thoroughly ventilated at all times and
seasons.
That a damp cellar will cause many kinds
of sickness, and great attention should be
paid to the proper airing and draining.
That buckets OF unslacked lime placed
here and there In cellar will absorb great
amount of moisture. rendering the air OF
the cellar dry and wholesome.
That an application of cologne water or
ammonia to the stings of mosquitoes. bees
or hornets will cause immediate relief.
That the stinss should always be re-
moved from a wound by forceps or gentle
pressure.
Thnt n good knife should never be used
for stirring potatoes or other vegetables
when frying. as the heat destroys the tenn
per of the steel.
That knives should be gently rubbed with
oil before they are put away for any length
of time to prevent them from rusting.
