many Americans who have visited these
countries none has touched the heart of
the people as have Charles g. Glidden and
his wife, who made the record automobile
trip north thru these countries. BY their
kind and courteous treatment they en-
deared themselves to all the people espe-
ctally those in the northern part OF the
country, and 1t Is my pleasant privilege
TO bring the greetings Of these people to
Mr.. and Mrs. Glidden.

from Sweden to America consist of steel,
safety matches and wood pulp, The big

about had the United States sent min

DANISH SUFFRAGE LAW
That Proposed VIII Be a Broad
Measure.

g .EE -
The proposed suffrage law of Den
mark is to be very broad measure,
and that country from being back
ward in extending the electoral fran
chise will become one of the most ad-
vanced in the world If the law Is
passed without any important amend
ments.
The minister proposes that the right
of suffrage shall be granted to every
man or woman who has citizenship
and has reached the age Of % years,
and who has otherwise paid taxes dur
ing the fiscal year which Drecedes the
election, and is also st the same time
enjoying fixed homestead within the
same precinct. This privilege. how
ever, is not to be extended to farm
hands and other domestic employees
who have no household of their own,
to recipients Of aid from the COM
munity and to those who are in bank
ruptcy. An important clause in the
program is the one which stipulates
that everyone who has the right to
vote is eligible to office.

THE "OPEN SHOP"
Building Contractors in Duluth May
rErN to IT

Bu1ldlnE COnCraCtOfS III DuluCn May
Try to Secure 1t.
The Duluth Labor World, in an ed
itorial in last Saturdays issue, says
the building trades unions Of that
city are soon to be confronted with
the "open shop proposition in deal
ing with the contractors. While the
Builders Exchange has given out
nothing as to it's purpose next season,
it is apparent that things are shap-
ing themselves for united effort
among all the contractors to secure
an open shop" agreement with the
unions. All Of the building trades
unions are satisfied with the present
hours of labor and general working
conditions in Duluth, and are said to
be anxious for a renewal of the ex-
listing scale. Any attempt to enforce
the open shop idea will result in
trouble. s

Death of "Werceland,s Gutten., ;,

Anders Larsen Langbraaten, an
old vagabond who in his boyhood was
adopted by Henrik Wergeland, died
at Christiania on Nov. .28 at the age
Of 81 years. Wergeland thought that
the boy was a remarkable genius and
predicted that he would become q
great artist. He was splendid
speaker and fine violin player even
as a boy, but took to drink at an
early age and soon became q drunken
tramp. That he should have lived SO
long in his dissipations and constant
exposure Is a. surprise to all. He was
usually known as the wergeland boy
or "Vesle Anders.
