THE CONFEDERATION OF LABOR.
EVERY FRIDAY

Mankato welcomes the Federation
of Labor OF Minnesota to its midst
The convention now in session in our
city is made up of fine looking, sturdy
body of men, representative of the
great class that has made the progress
of society and our progress as nation
possible. The federation is made up
of representatives of the different
bodies of skilled labor and have come
to our city from all parts of the stat e
to deliberate upon questions of inter
est to labor everywhere. What they do
and what they say will have much
effect on labor future. The fedora
ton has always been very conserva-
tive body, while at the same time be-
ing most progressive and in this way
it has accomplished the greatest
good for labor interests and has
greatly ameliorated the hardships
which have confronted labor interests
at every turn. 1t has proceeded in the
past along paths OF wisdom, and let
us hope that in their deliberations in
out city they will be guided by the
same good Judgment, which has gov
erned their deliberations in the past.
Greater intelligence is always the re-
suit of loose association, where the in
terchange of opinions always clears
away many of the misunderstanding
which might otherwise remain.
American labor is today the most in
telligent, the bset paid and the most
progressive of any in the world, 1t is
this because of the freedom and spirit
of our institutions, because Of the
great spread of education among the
masses, because of the spirit which
has protected our industries and has
conferred great benefits to labor, and
because Of the conservative Organiza-
ton which has as a whole prevailed in
abor circles. American labor is edu-
Gated labor. There was never time
in the history of the labor movement,
when as many bright, intelligent,
well educated young men were enter
ing the ranks of skilled labor, as is the
case today. The effect of this must be
the strengthening of labor's cause
everywhere and cause it to become
more respected in all fields. Their ad-
vent to. the ranks has largely been the
result of intelligent cooperation of re-
representatives. of labor bodies, such
bodies as the one now in session in our
city which have given unselfshly of
their time and talents to secure the
benefits which have come to working
men everywhere.

by remedy that strikes at the root Of
the disease by renewing the impoverish-

Words Of commentator for this
remedy come from all parts Of the civil.
lied world. This is the interesting story
told by Mr.. and Mrs. Christopher Arm
strong, Of jefferson, Okla:
"Our youngest daughter was for three
years afflicted with St. Vitus' dance, and
we almost despaired of finding relief in
medical treatment. She was so helpless
that she had TO be fed and would fall
over at times and be unable to rise.
1--WE had heard and read great deal
about DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People. and, as last resort, determined
to try them. The effect was almost
miraculous. From the first box there
was O noticeable Improvement and by
the time she had taken six boxes she was
almost well. Altogether she took about
dozen boxes, and by the time she was
thirteen years Of age, was strong and
healthy, weighing ia pounds"

The power Of DR.. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People in the vast number Of
diseases due to impure blood or to de-
rangements Of the nervous system has
been demonstrated in thousands Of in
stances as remarkable as the one related
above. No one who is suffering can
rightfully neglect this way to restore
health. DR.. Williams Pink Pills for

The Duluth Herald compares Presi-
dent Mckinley to Buchanan. 1t is
rather labored effort. and of course
has to sink entirely all view of Nc
Kinley's statemanslike qualities which
he has exhibited in dealing with great
questions which have confronted his
administration. His foreign policy has
been strong one as we'll as the man
ner in which he has handled all prob
lens of domestic nature. The future
historian, wholly devoid of partizan
unfairness, will never think of liken-
ing Mckinley to Buchanan either as a
man, or in the conduct of his ad-

1t seems that when former Gov.
Lind thought Secretary Berg was not
enforcing the provisions of the Somer-
vile law as he thought he ought to
against foreign corporations, he hired
special counsel to look the matter up,
and as result something like 81, 100
was covered into the treasury. And
then the .attorney SO employed put in
bill for $3.50 of sevice rendered, and
it was allowed by the governor. Great

Cases against G.. c. Warn, George

REILLY WAS PLEASED.
And So Were the other Delegates
who Remained In Columbus.

Chief of Police Wiley Williams of
Columbus is at a loss to understand In
what manner a delegate from Savan-
nah, to the recent convention in that
city. had a slow time and has sent
superintendent of Police owen Reilly
a clipping from the Columbus En-
quirer.
Superintendent Reilly says that the
visitors were royalty entertained by the
Columbus people and that all of those
who remained i'm the city and accept
ed the hospitality of the officers were
we'll pleased. There may have been
some one who left before the conven-
ton had really convened and one OF
that number may have thought that
he had some kick coming. Superintend-
ent Reilly declares that the visitors
we're looked after I'm great shape by
Chief Williams and that most enjoy
able time was spent.

made by a dissatisfied Savannahian'

delegate TO this convention should have
