Offers exceptional opportunities to
young men wishing to prepare for the
Christian ministry. The chief aim of
the instruction is to afford young men
and women a comprehensive knowl-
edge of the English Bible and to i'm
plant in their hearts an ambition to
dedicate their lives to the elevation
and Christianizing of their race.
Students are required to do micsion-
ary work in the various churches and
Sunday Schools near the institution
and to report on same each week.
The teaching in the Bible school is
wholly undenominational, the inten-
ton being not to oppose or antagonize
any theological work now being done,

are dependent upon capital for their
daily bread, and do surrender, then, as
have previously stated, it will be
sorry day for America. These labor or

gigantic close corporatIon-a greedy,
grasping, restless, intollerant, Overbear-
ing, dictatorial combination of half edu-
Gated white men, native and foreign
born, who imagine that they will some

The strike in the coal regions of Penn
syIyania which is at this writing IN prog
-s.. i a battle royal between capital and
iabor Organized labor is seeking to eS-
taLIish precedent which l fear it will
,,ot succeed in establishing If the coal
'-o.rators understand their business, and
Il begins to look as if they had a pretty
thorough understanding, not only OF
their own rights but of the rights OF
those who have Drawn and skill and
MUSCLE to exchange for cash. The
rr,frv labor leaders and some of their
followers. most of whom are of foreign
birth. have gotten the idea into their
heads that they have the undOubted r1eLt
to dictate to these opera0rs not only
what they shall pay for their labor, but
who shall perform that labor And
herein IS the kernel of the strike. Very
naturally the operators demur to this
arbitrary action of these dependents up
on their bounty, who, while opposing
them and preventing them from oPerat-
ing their plants, are being supported
aidcd. and abetted in their desperate et-
forts to drive capital to their terms by
labor organizations of one sort or an
other all over this country and III some
parts of Europe.

They will not permit Negroes to join
their organizations. They will not Her-
NIT their members to work alongside of
Negro mechanics unless they are en-
ployed by the Government, when they
swallow their internal prejudice and
pocket the big wages which the Govern
ment always pays. They will not permit
Negro youth to become apprentices, and
any employer who does, does SO at his
peril. These organizations are doing as
much to make the road rocky for the
Negro as the Democratic party at the
South.

If Negro miners were set to work IN
these coal fields tomorrow It is not uIl-
likely that every labor organization III
this country would go out on strike
believe they call this sympatnetic
strike. The meaning of it is plain 1t IS
a bold and desperate scheme of white
skilled artisans and mechanics to CO.
erce capital and make it subservient to
the whins of the most tyrannlcal trust
in America-the labor trust 1t mas
locked horns with capital IN this coal
strike, and it is my sincere wish that IT'S
horns may be broken and that every
man of whatever race he may be may
have the unuuestioned right to sell his
labor wherever he can find purchaser
without the aid or consent of any or
ganization arrogating to itself the rlght
to exclude him from the ranks OF the
bread winners because he does not nap
pen to be one of them.

| don't believe that these coal miners
and their leaders are smart enough OF
crafty enough to carry their point IN u>e

sympathy with them in their onsiauSAt
against the coal operators for the very
good reason that they nave no right III
law ar in fact to inhibit any nOn-unlon
worker from making his living on his
own terms. There are thousands of men,
white and black, who would gladly take
the places of these strikers, but they are
prevented by the threats and fOrcetul oP-
nosition of those who will not work
themselves unless they can force the
operators to yield to their demands Tor

= good deal of maudlin sentiment IS

tional journals that are helping to make

alien peoples which will sooner or later
break out in the bloodieSt revolution that

strikers are clearly within their rights
when they refuse to work for wages that
to them seem inadequate for service rcIi--
dered, but they trench upon the rights OF
EMPLOYERS when they attempt to not only
fix the scale of wages they should pay,
hut to indicate who shall receive those
wages. In opposing this unwarranted
and rniustihable attitude of the labor
unions the operators are clearly rlght.

FIRE FIEND AT WORK
CHINOOK SHOE STORE BURNS
One Of the Hardest Fires to Fight
Last Night Ever Known
in Decorah.

A smouldering mass of ruins be-
tween two charred walls is about all
that is left of the handsome Chinnock
store building on Water street this
morning. About 1890 o'clock last
night the watchmen, who could smell
the smoke, after a diligent search
located the fire in the basement of the
Curtin building occupied by J. T.
Chinook, and gave q prompt alarm,
but on account ofthe extreme coldness
Of the night and the almost utter use
lessness of the court house bell as fire
alarm, but few of the fire boys heard
it, and as consequence the burden Of
fighting one of the most stubborn fires
ever known here rested upon few.
However, despite the bleak, bitter
cold, the boys went to work with all
their might, and fought like beavers,
disregarding their safety or comfort in
the struggle to conquer the fire fiend.
The fire had gotten under such head
way before it was discovered that it
seemed hopeless task, and all that
could be hoped was to confine the fire
to this structure, which was done.
Three times during the night fire was
discovered after it was thought to
have been extinguished, and as many
times the alarm was sounded, so that
the boys made an all night fight
of it, and while the stock Is total loss
and only the walls of the building left,
yet they are entitled to great credit for
combining it to this building. Albert
Prastnark narrowly escaped being
burned to death by falling through the
roof into the flames, but was saved by
the prompt action of the boys whe
were near him.
We are unable to ascertain the loss
this morning, but 1t is reported that
the STOCK was worth about about
e11 900 and the building about 5000.

Mr.. WALKER wHlrEslDE
Will Present the Brilliant Romantic
Comedy "Heart and Sword,
February I3th.

Mr.. Walker Whiteside, this season
starring in the romantic comedy sue
cess, ''Heart and Sword" under
direction Of Shipman Brothers, 10 the
one artist Of renown who does not de-
sire that he be surrounded with Z
galaxy Of almost insignifcant lights in
order that he shall stand out boldly In
the stage picture. He believes that
the support Of an actor Of worth should
be as near perfect a. 1t is possible to
secure it and consequently when
"Heart and Sword" is given q pre-
sentation in this city, q marvellously
strong and we'll balanced supporting
company will interpret the various
characters. The story of the play
takes the same trend almost as does
1.-THE Prisoner of Zenda," "The Pride
Of Jennico," "Rupert Of Hentzau," !"
and other romantic plays, yet, the
dialogue is SO inspiringiy different,
the action so radically superior, that q
comparison cannot possibly be made of
the plays. Mr.. Whiteside interprets
his role of Prince Victor, as he has in
terpreted every role he has ever played,
with grace and skill which add in
effable enjoyment to the piece. AZ
fectation is eliminated. Mr.. White
side ceases to be himself and takes on
the character Of the Prince. His por-
trayal of the role is one of the most de-
lightful bits Of acting the stage has
seen since the reign Of romantic plays
commenced. Miss Leila Wolstan is to
be seenlin the leading female role, that
Of Rrincess Sylvia, and the mention Of
her name is q guarantee of perfection.
The production will be staged here at
the Grand opera house on Thursday,
Feb. 18th, and unquestionably 1t will
be one Of the most delightful plays Of
the entire season. Mr.. Whiteside has
mounted and costumed the play in
lavish fashion and in this respect as
well as from the standpoint Of per-
fection in the portrayal Of the various
parts, there is nothing to be desired
which 10 not provided.

There will doubtless be the usual
amount Of building in Decorah this
summer. We know of several resi-
dences that will be built, and the busi-
ness portion will also come in for it's
share. Among the latter is the pos
sible addition Of large three story
structure to be added to the east of the
Lutheran Publishing House, occupy
ing the entire large vacant lot. This
establishment now occupies one of the
largest three story corner buildings in
the city, but their rapidly increasing
business has placed them In q con-
gested condition, and they will ask
the Synod when it meets in the spring
to allow them to use the funds on
hand, realized from the products Of
this concern, for this building. II the
Synod is agreeable, they will have by
all odds the finest structure used for
productive purposes In the city, and
one of the finest in the state.

badly be realized is the replacement Of
