Every year about this time some en-
thusiastic citizen puts in a word for
a summer hotel in this city to accomo-
date tourists. This matter is talked
about only at time when the hotels
are crowded. After the summer months
have passed discussion is dropped for
another year.
It Is suggested by some, that outside
capital ought to be interested in the
matter, but this seems wholly improb-
able. Capital will not invest in doubt
full propositions these days. The sum
mer season is so short here that a most
thriving business will have to be done
for two or three months in order that
the proposition be safe.
Duluth needs summer hotel It
needs convention hall. 1t needs many
other things that it will not get until
Its citizens do something towards get
ting them. Talk will never accomplish
anything along these lines. If the city
had proper Accommodations it could get
several large conventions here during
the summer months. The Elks meeting
is one Of the largest in the year. Next
year they go to Salk Lake City, which
Is no larger than Duluth. If Salt Lake
City can take care of convention like
the Elks, then Duluth certainly ought
also be able to do so. In Salt Lake City
the business men are alive to the inter-
ests OF the city. In Duluth they are
not. That's the difference between the
two cities.
We have advocated before in these
columns, unity Of merchants of the
city. Again we say, "get together for
your common good" Let's build a
summer hotel, and convention hall
by private subscription. 1t can be done.
Other cities have done it, and the busi-
ness men are now reaping their re-
wards. Its merely another form of ad-
vertising. BY doing this it will not be
necessary to increase advertising ex-
penses. Perhaps each business house
on Superior street spends two hundred
dollars a year with fake advertisements
that bring no returns. Just cut this out
and use this money for some better pur-
pose. Now is the time to begin work
for next season. Let the hustling busi-
ness men get together and do some
thing for Duluth and themselves. ss

CARPENTERS UNION.
Growing Steadily, and is the Largest
Union in the City.

Growing Steadily, and is the Largest
Union i'm the City.
The Carpenters Union held a large
meeting last Tuesday evening and in
itiated five new members. Business
Agent Baker Is keeping up the record of
the union. There has not been a week
since he has been business agent but
what he has taken in from two to eight
members, and on one occasion he
brought in twenty-three. The Carpen-
ters' union is now the largest in the
city. It is also nearly completely or
ganized, and its members sincerely hope
to have every carpenter In the city en-
rolled upon its roster in a very short
time. There are some good carpenters
who do not yet appreciate the value of
the union, most Of these are men who
are well along in years. It's hard to
learn an old dog new tricks, you know,
but time makes wonderful changes In
not only conditions, but in men as well.

there are two factions in the union.

BUTCHERS PICNIC.
Day Was Well Spent at Lester Park
Big Success as Usual.

Day was Well Spent At Lester Park
Big Success as Usual.
The butchers had a most enjoyable
time at their picnic last Wednesday.
Every shop in town closed at nine
o'clock, and the butchers with their
wives, sisters and sweethearts, sped to
Lester Park for a days outing. The
day was beautiful. Old Sol shined in
his best, and gentle zepher from the
greatest lake in the world made it one
of the most beautiful of summer days.
Two years ago the Butchers Union
abandoned for all time the holding Of
Sunday picnics. Last year their out
ing was held at Fond du Lac, but this
year the members wished to hold it
where no intoxicating liquors were
sold, and so Lester Park was chosen,
From a financial point of view the
change was not good, but from a moral
standpoint 1t was excellent. What good
Is lots Of money, compared with poor
morals? It is, and should be, the desire
of all trade unions to better the morals
of it's surroundings.
In the afternoon the day was spent
in various ways. Some sat beneath the
large shade trees with their families,
where they had lunch, and enjoyed real
recreation and rest. Others watched
and engaged in the sports and games,
which were unusually good. Every one
young and old, indulged in the dancing
ut the pavilions, and, of course, the
man with the baby, and the cane rack
got his share of patronage. In the
evening larger crowd was present,
the whole of which engaged in dancing.
. The butchers deserve great credit for
their efforts, and we most heartily con-
gratulate the union upon it's success.

FAkllvG + 7 I MUST STOP
BUSINESS MEN BLED TO DEATH BY
ADVERTISING GRAFTERs.
They Work All Kinds Of Schemes,
and Many Business Men are skin
ned Re9ular1y-Trades Assembly
Condemns All Propositions &otten
Up I'm the Name of Labor|dvertis-
ing Schemes Should Be Licensed.

The bushes men Of Duluth are Ger.
tatnly very patient men. For the past
two years the town has been netted
with advertising fakirs. They are usu-
ally pretty clever men, and have a
rather inducing story to unfold Of the
value (C Of their scheme to advertis.
ers. It Is strange to us that the aver
age business man permits himself to
be m1slead time and time again with
such schemes. The worst Of all Is when
a local enterprise is out with a legiti-
mate proposition, it is usually turned
down, and these outside grafters arc
given the preference. Here are some Of
the schemes that are being worked to
excess: History of Duluth. write up Of
business house in foreign publications
with limited ctrculations. workingmer's
time book, labor bulletins and working
mems guides.
The Trades Assembly of Duluth has
set its foot down on all such PROPOSE
tions gotten up in the name of labor.
1t has not for years 1ndorsed any
such scheme, except it's Labor Day pro-
gram. When a solicitor represents to
a business house that he is sent out by
the Trades Assembly or a. local union
to get up a bulletin or workinemen's
time book, he is simply getting money
under false representations. This, is q.
criminal offense. and in the future we
expect to see it followed up with prose-
cution.
Let this be said for the benefits Of
,H@
propositions, THAT no man can solicit
for organized labor unless he bears pro-
per credentials, with the seal of the or
ganization attached. The fact that the
solicitor is accompanied by a prominent
member of a labor organization is not
evidence that he is authorized to do SO
for any union. It is an easy matter to
get an occasional member of a labor
organization, who Is out Of a job, for
a few dollars, to enter into such
schemes. The Trades Assembly is now
out with the Labor Day program. It
is a worthy proposition, and is the only
thing authorized by labor organizations
and yet business men who have had
their card In every fake proposition
ever gotten up Ia the city, refuses to 60
into this. IN; the fake proposal itions the.
them up, but in the Labor Day pro-
gram the proceeds goes to the Trades
Assembly. TT Sz
A good remedy to protect the business
men from further robberies of the kind
mentioned above is to license all solicit
ors, and compel them to give a bond
for their faithful carrying out Of agree
ments.

UNIONS GOOD TRUSTS.
Differs From Capitnlistic Trust in
In Many Respects. :,

IN many NcoIyCCIos . g-.=
The following. from the Tri-City
Workers Gazette, should be read with
interest by all active trades unionists:
Some claim that trade unions are one
form of trusts. They do appear strik-
ingly alike in some respects and Diff
ferent in others. Like the typical trust
many trades unions seek to obtain a
monopoly and secure monopolistic
prices. ,su
Again, this may be termed the eleva-
tion of the standard Of life, so far as
hours of labor, wages and other indus
rial conditions are concerned.
While the union resembles the trust
in many of it's aims and methods. II
differs from it in the following essential
points, The labor organization benefits
millions instead Of thousands; it aids
the poor who need improved social con-
ditions rather than the rich, who dc
not: it is far more democratic in It's
organization, for the labor union usual
ly admits to it's membership at any
time all good workmen Of the trade who
wish to join, and on terms Of perfect
equality, with equal chance with the
old members to secure the official posi-
tions of control and emolument. All
are familiar with how, when the finan-
cially weak are taken into the trust
they are usually given only subordinate
positions, and If allowed to become
minority stockholders are still at the
mercy of the few who control the ma
jority of the stock. 1t is probable tina!
the labor union does not stimulate its
members to the keenest -exertions ar
much as does the trust, but this is only
part of the general weakness of the
wage system. which does not find any
way of giving the workman as much
interest in the business as have owners
On the other hand, the union has not
such a bad influence upon political con-
ditions as has the giant corporations
which is constantly seeking, favors and
determinations from taxing and fran
e-giving bodies and from the rail-
roads. The extent to which legislation
is used in the interest of our great cor
porations, especially our monopolies
and trusts, as pure matter. of bar.
gain and sale in nearly all our legisla.
ture and council chambers, would hor.
rify the country If really understood in
all its enormity. The. direct ethical as
pect of trade unionism is seen in its
relief Of those in distress, wether from
lack of work, old age, sickness or death
Of the breadwinner. 3.

FOOTBALL PRACTICE.

Captain Gould Gets His Men Together
 for the First Time-Bloomer Re-
 ports.
 The first real practice of the season for the members of the Yale football squad took place at the Yale field yes- terday afternoon, when about ten men reported. There was no head coach, and owing to the warm weather the practice was light. Captain Gould put the men through talking and few moves for the benefit of their football knowledge, and by the end of the week some hard work may be expected.
 Ralph Boomer, the great tackle of last years team, was on hand, and if he can pass his examinations later he will be eligible for the team. Bloomer is in good shape and wants to play this year. George Goss is expected from his trip north in time to take part In the practice the latter part of the month, and more good men will report as the week goes by.
 Perry Hale, the full-back on the 1900 team, and Al Sharpe of the same team, will be here soon, it is expected and will coach the team for few days Sharpe has been in town for some time and will go out to the field in uniform

 Tomorrow morning the Yale track team will leave this city for New York, where they will meet the Harvard men in competition to determine the make up of the team which will meet the Englishmen on September 26. This competition will take place on the Berk- eley Oval and some great work is ex- pected. It will really be a test as to the merits of the Americans, as their team will be made of the best men and necessarily the competition will be keen.
 George Stilman is in New Haven and will make up the squad of ten men which will represent Yale. The Har- yard squad numbers nineteen men at the present time. The races to be held Wednesday will be trial races and the finals will be held on Thursday or Fri day.
 The men of both universities are in excellent shape and are doing good work in their respective training.

WHEAT AND MILK UNITED.
Scranton Physician Discovers the Means of Bend- ing Valuable Food Properties of wheat With Pure
 Mik-A Perfect Food for Infants.

Having established the principle, Dr. Hand set about search for fac tory in a grazing section far from even the probability of contamination of distillery slops or unhealthy cows. The plant was finally located in the great clover fields near Ubly, Mich.
 Close at hand stands the factory scrupulously clean, light and airy to which the milk is taken direct from the fields. Here the processes are diff ferent from the practice of other con- densing plants. Each successive step in reducing the milk is taken after many tests for the qualities and con- ditions preparatory to the addition of the tasteless phosphates and hypo- phosphites, and when the process is completed it is truly--as has often been said-"the greatest health-giving and best condensed milk made"
 Hundreds of mothers have discov- cred the wonderful food value of Dr. Hands Phosphated Condensed Milk. Following is one of many letters from Bridgeport, Conn.,:
 "I have used Dr. Hands Milk with the Phosphates and Hypophosphites added sor about two months, and my baby has done finely on it. I still use 1t for her and can trnthfully state that l think it the best baby food have ever used, and have tried many kinds. l do not hesitate to recommend this Milk in the highest terms for babies"
 Mrs. M. F. BRENNAN,
 2S Summer St., Waterbury, Conn.
 It is we'll to add that the same proper ties that make Dr. Hands Phosphated Condensed Milk the best infant food, gives it the greatest restorative quality for invalids and the aging, and makes it best for general household use.
 The Dr. Hand Condensed Milk Conl- pany, Scranton, Pa., will send free to any one interested a booklet more fully covering the subject.

Dr. D. B. Hand, of Scranton, Pa., has spent thirty-six years in the prac- tice of medicine, more than one-half of which has been devoted to the treatment of children. He is the originator of the Dr. Hand Remedies for Children, which are largely used beyond the immediate circle of his practice.
 Tn his large practice the doctor found the greater proportion of his little patients suffered from disorders arising from lack of proper nutri- ton. They had poor teeth, soft bones, little nerve force, and lacked vivacity of spirits. Many parents realized the trouble but there was nothing to be had at price of money or endeavor to improve the wee bodies. Milk from the wagon was either adul- terated or was taken from animals themselves ill-nourished. There were prepared foods in any number, but the results demonstrated their principle wrong.
 To meet this dilemma and bridge this dangerous gap in the food supply, Dr. Hand sought to assemble ill some very palatable form all the elements necessary to building a perfect body.
 After many interesting experiments he succeeded in an effort to unite the phosphates and hypophosphites of wheat with the nutritious properties of pure milk. The blend is perfect; the only effect appreciable to the taste being an enriching of the flavor and body of the milk.
 This phosphated milk, as Dr. Hand calls it, affords phosphates of lime and soda, for teeth and bones; hypo- phosphites of potassium, for nerves and brain; hypophosphites of man ganese, to enrich the blood-whlch 1t does by increasing the number ot its red corpuscles.
