Can they find. better or more remuner- attve employment since women came in competition with them for places and salaries? Though l must frankly admit I know that the bureau of labor of Minnesota cannot solve this great prob lem, 1t is our intention to delve in and gain what information we can and pre- sent it to the public, hoping and trust ing that 1t may result in some good.
 "Of new laws of interest to the indus trial classes enacted by our last legis- lature I might mention the eight hour law that provides that eight hours shall constitute a days work to be done by contract or on behalf of the state; also the law that provides for the examination by the building in spectors of our cities of all persons en- gagged in the work of operating passen- ger elevators.
 "A law regulating barber colleges has been enacted, and the law regulating
 
 business of plumbing has been so amended that it is possible to fine or imprison persons violating the provi- sions of this act. The last session of the legislature by it's acts has shown that the people of Minnesota are abreast of the times in securing legisla- tion to improve and to better the gener- al conditions of the working people,"

ANOTHER THIRD PARTY IN

Dispatches from Kansas City, Mo-, Wednesday, told of the holding of a political conference there for the purpose of building up another third party. The resolutions adopted call for the ultimate public ownership of railroads and telegraphs, direct legis- lation by the initiative and reieren- dunn, graduated income tax, full legal tender money, issued by gov ernment, home rule for cities, and

THREE OF A KIND."

THREE OF A KlND."
 Some one has said: T am always suspicious of suspicious people. /" And so may we believe that those who are incapable of real dislnterest- edness themselves are incapable of conceiving it in others. This is why we are treated to such articles as this :-
 ''Pingree was not content to be humdrum; he did not pass through life silently. He stirred things up in his city and his state. His bump of veneration was smaller than his bump of self-esteem-smal1er, too, than his bump of combativeness. Some of his ideas were less practical than others. He had real compassion for the poor. He also craved and enjoyed notoriety. Sam Jones of 'Toledo.re- sembles him in an understudy sort of way. Tom Johnson of Cleveland is a more complex and problematic char acter.
 There is one sentence in this com position that recalls Tom Leary's s commendation of the personal ap- pearance of his bigger as well as his better half" Tom was a member of Go. K. 2Oth Connecticut Volun- teers, and hailed from Waterbury. He had just received letter from home together with picture of Madam Leary He was showing 1t around to the group on picket post. Fine looking woman, Tom,'' re- marked Private Barrett, as he handed 1t back, wishing to seem appreciative and avoid further comment. "Yes, she is. replied Tom; s'she was as fine a 1ookin' woman as could be seen goin' into the church ins Water bury, but she had one tooth out in the front of her mouth that played the divil wid her."
 So there is one sentence in this article from our plutocratic paper that "plays the divil'' with its con sistency." If 1t is granted that Hazen IS. Plngree had real compassion for the poor" why must it be insinuated then that rfas things -lae 6 d dids1zs the alleviation of the condition of tue poor and the betterment of humanity in general are attributed to a craving for u0t0rzeky? One was a natural se- quence of the other. Gov Pingree did good things because he couldn't help doing them. He was born re- former and philanthropist. This, of course, cannot be understood by the born misanthropist. He Is 6apable of judging others only as he knows himself. So with the mere politi- clan, he who is partisan not because of principle but because of what his partisanship may bring to him of place, pelf, or so called ''honor."
 And as for ''Sam Jones of Toledo there is nothing of the character. of "understudy" to any one in that makeup. He Is a character all to himself, and with no points of re- semblance whatever to that of the lamented ex-governor.
 And again, as to the complexity and problematicality of the character of Tom Johnson of Cleveland" our commentator is again s'way off there isn't a more single-purposed or open minded man in all America.
 Yet, all three may be said to have been alike in one thing their desire for the material advance ment of the human family, and es- pecially that part of it farthest lag ging behind.

A correspondence between the District
Commissioners and the officers of the
Capital Traction Company over the light
ing of Rock Creek Bridge shows that the
railroad company is willing to light the
bridge with incandescent lights If a salts
factory arrangement as to compensation
can be made. Walter C. Allen the Elec-

ers that 1t is impracticable for the Dis

the bridge, and that the Earring of the
