lily realized when we take into cpnsid
Grafton the fact that much Of the grain
raised in the southern part of the state
goes east via Duluth and the Great
Lakes. and nearly all our coal comes to
Duluth to be distributed to all points
OF the state, and that this road is the
sole connecting link between naviqa.
ton and the other railroad systems of
the state, subject to state control. The
recent decision of the supreme court of
the United States, holding that the
state railroad commission has the right
to fix joint rates, emphasizes the i'm
portance of the commissions action.
II the states interests had not been
conserved by the vigilance of the Dem
ocratic administration in the above &C.
ton, then we would now be helpless,
because all that the Northern Pacific
would have had to do to escape juris.
diction would have been to move its
terminals to West Superior, thus de-
priving the state of the right to fix
reasonable joint rates and the city of
Duluth of the business connected with
the docks and terminals of this great
system.
What has the present state railroad
commission done to make this deci:
sion Of the supreme court of the Unit.

the state?

Is ENTITLED
TO FRUITS OF HIS EFFORTS.

The resources of nature, developed
by labor, are the foundation of all
wealth. The first element is the gift OF
a benign creator to all mankind. La
Dor is the effort of each Individual, the
fruits of which he alone is entitled to.
Under our complex social system,
where no man produces all that is nee
essary for his sustenance and com.
fort, but, as rule, produces only some.
special article or part, the question Of
the division of the proceeds of labor
becomes one of grave importance.
Under our laws the owners. of can.

associate or combine their wealth for
the promotion Of enterprises OF q pu5-
lie or private nature. It. therefore, he-

Now all this was produced. according
to the best information available, for

not be disputed. The mere assertion
that mining il u gamble aud that il costs
more than u dollar to produce dollar
does not prove anything, nor does il
make the statement fact.
We could narratc many instances
where men Of small means invested
small amounts in mining companies in
the early stages of development, who
cleaned up comfortable fortunes in u few
years without any effort on their part
other than the making up Of their minds
to buy stock. To some people this il
very great effort. Some men reason that
because their grandfathers lost some
money fifteen or twenty years ago, there.
fore all mining enterprises are fraudu-
lent. Because your grandfather lost
some money in a bank failure fifteen or
twenty years ago, does not prove that all
the banks are unsound and that there

We are not advocating indiscriminate
investments in companies which come
out with glaring headlines promising
millions to the lucky stockholders, but
We do urge investments in safe compa.

elements oi success, viz First-Well

VIII, can either put their money in gov
ernment bonds AT three per cent interest
ani thereby have sufficient income to
CRAFTY their tastes and ambitions, or
who can undertake gigantic enterprises
ou thoir own account, The second, and
by far the largest class, comprises the
millions oi professional and salareid men
AMI women aud those engaged in small
business pursuits. This class, in order
"a eventually taste oi life's iuxuries, must
seek some very profitable means Of in
vr,ting their small earnings.

Lessons From Recent Disasters.
Editor of The Times.

Editor of The Times:
Sir.-The numerous disasters from
various causes which have occurred OF
late. the details of which are horrible
and sickening as given in the public
prints. are we'll calculated to impress
the people with the instability of earth
~ things and the dangers that human
life is subject to in this world. The
terrible suffering endured by these vic
Tins of disaster the sudden plunging
to horrible death of scores of young and
old and the terrible fate awaiting those
buried deep down in mines where no
human hand can reach to give aid make
us pause in astonishment and ask why
were such awful calamites permitted?
From the limited, narrow view point of
humanity such visltations s these are
like many other things of earth a mys-
terry that in time admit of no solution.
These awful carnivals of death make a
dark background for the picture that life
in business circles, in science and art
and home comforts affords these pro-
gressive days. We with limited vision
can't see far and we must wait until
the shadows flee and the veil be up
lifted. These severe lessons it may re-
quire to teach us that here on these
mortal shores We can build nothing to
endure. Worldly possessions. fame
earthly glory. are but baubles that dance
in brightness before the vision and burst
at the touch. In the loom of human
life the threads that make the warp
and filling arc often broken, nor can
they be gathered and united again this
side of eternity. Broken threads
wrecked fortunes dire disasters are the
characteristics Of the life upon earth.
1t has been thus ever since man fell
in Eden and it Will continue thus until
time shall end. The fearful harvest of
death from burning volcanoes. overflow
ing floods and terrific storms will more
or less continue. for. Gods word te..s
us sin has put our globe sadly out of
joint. The remarkable part of the mat
ter is that peope with so many warnings
given them are careless. Indifferent I'M
concerned, not to say reckless. and will
stay where danger is and run the risk.
These drastic measures we admit are
calculated to teach and impress people
for good. and yet they seem il their
awful manifestations OF horror and suf-
fering the victims undergo to be at vari-
ance will, the love of a kind. merciful.
gra ccious Being. But let us not be hasty.
for in this life we are not competent to
form a correct Judgment. The bright
side the earthly picture affords Is a
great deal for us to look upon. for there
are SO many sections where disasters
have not come and so many thousands
enjoying the blessings OF human life

DRY GOODS STORES
TO CLOSE j EARLIER.
Relief for Young Women En-
pIoyed in Them.
CONFERENCE LAST NIGHT
Ministers, Merchants and Clerks Ad-
vocate the Seven O'clock Satur-
day Evening Closing
Hour.

As the result of the conference held
last night at Pickett Camp HALL between
committees from the Ministerial Union.
the Retail Clerks Association. the Cen
trail Trades and Labor Council, dry
goods merchants and other retail deal
ers. it seems practically certain that the
early closing hours will be inaugurated
at once by the dry-goods and millinery
establishments of the city.
The hours agreed upon at this meet
ing are G. o'clock on every day in the
week save Saturday and upon this day
stores will be closed at o'clock
THE REAL ISSUE.
The o'clock closing hour for Satur-
day has been the. Issue for several years
and has been contended for in behalf OF
the young women employed in such es-
ia blishments. The relief is mo&e directly
f for these than others, and for that rea-
son the demand is made only on those
stores where they are employed in such
numbers.
The conferees last night decided. after
lengthy discussions, and reports from the
different interests represented, to leave
with the committee from the Trades
and Labor Council the work of drawing
UP a petition providing for the obser-
vance of the hours as stated above,
which shall to-day be presented to the
merchants affected for their signatures.
The majority of these firms were rep
resented last night and sgnified their
willingness to sign the agreement. It
Is the purpose of those interested N

LAST NIGHTS MEETING.
The meeting last night was largely at
tended by men deeply in earnest in the
work before them. Mr.. Mullen. chair
man of the Trades and Labor Council
Committee, presided. Among the repre-
sentatives at the Ministerial Union, who
occupied seats upon the rostrum were:
John Harmon, Of Union Station: DR.. Good
win, of ST. Johns; DR.. Witherspoon, of
Grace Street Presbyterian Church: Rev.
Carey E. Morgan. of the Seventh Street
Christian Church. and Rev. W. B. Beau
champ. of Broad Street Methodist
Church.
DR. Goodwin was one OF the first to
speak in favor OF the early closing hour.
on the particular ground that it was In
human that young women should De
subjected to such long hours. during the
hot summer days. He said he knew GER
tainlv of one case and maybe more.
where a young woman was broken down IN
health as the result Of working long
hours in A. dry goods store.
MANY of the ministers spoke In favor
Of the short hours along. the same lines
Many of the leading dry goods mer-
chants either in person or through rep
resentation expressed their approval of
the plan. and urged that 1t be put in
effect at the earliest possible time.
