G. Z. Mccarthy, the author Of the

that the attack has been made sby
those men who do not wish to- pay
their laborers their wages when they
are due. He says the time check
system causes the workman to lose
from to 40 per cent of his wages
and is an ubiquitous one. The latest
scheme for the evasion of the law,

the contractor to enter into y con

1t is not every year that woods
men can ride TO- camp in carriages,
but they are doing 80 from Duluth
this fall. Merrill & Ring are hiring
men for their camps near Grand
Lake about 20 miles from Duluth
and IS We're sent out yesterday, PART
OF them going In one ot tho brakes
that was used to transport tourists
about the city last summer, and the
rest In less pretentiOus rigs. There
were six horses on the brake.
An employment firm has RIGS run
ming from Duluth to Cloquct river
camps, "a miles, every day. BY send
ing the men in rigs to comparatively
nearby points the cost of Transport
tation il reduced and there is Il
theory that the men ara more liable
to remain after they get to camp.
Two years ago men We're willing
to walk from Duluth to these camps
and work for $15 to 500 a month.
Now they get 1926 to $35 and as work
is offered them on every side, they
feel they do not have to walk and
don't. 1t is said that the greatest
difficulty experienced is in keeping
the men at camp after they get
there. In some cases q number of
men will be sent out one day to n
certain camp and the next day half
Of them will be back again. They
will explain that they did not like
the looks OF the foreman or the camp.

the party those who had been manipu-
latlhg the party for private gain and
using the government for public plum
der. There are many of these desert
ers whose return to the party would
bring weakness rather than strength.
and there are millions of democrats
who would not surrender single line
of the Chicago platform to recover
every deserter who left because of real
hntagonism to the principles set forth
IN that platform. I do not refer to
those who were misled. There were
many who left because they did not
fully understand the issues raised:
and they are coming back of their own
accord, because they find themselves
in sympathy with our platform. The
party can win more votes by steadfast-
~ standing by the right than by weak
ly compromising with error, and those
won back to the platform will be use
full when they return, while those who
profess attachment to the democratic
name rather than to democratic prin-
ciples will always require watching.
The democratic party has put it's hand
to the plow, and, unless I mistake the
spirit which animates the members, it
will not look back.-W. j. Bryan.
