who feel that the job will just fit them.
Both gentlemen are worthy, and either
would make most efficient member of
the board of public works.
Speculation is rife as to whether the
mayor will disregard the old rule Of
precedent in his appointment of a
member Of the board of public works
to succeed the late c. w. Wilson, From
the early days for some reason one
member of the board was chosen as a
representative Of the Scandinavian
element. It was also felt that LOCALITY
should be considered, and the West
End Of the city was recognized. The
question is now: Will Mayor Hugo
appoint a West End Scandinavian. or
will he disregard this odd custom? We
never could understand why nationali-
ty or residence should cut any figure.
Ability is wanted more than anything
else. Mayor Hugo's practical knowl-
edge of things will prompt him to con-
slider no man who is not capable.

The Evening Herald has decidedly
improved in appearance since moving
into its new and handsome home on
First street. We sold the Herald on
the streets of Duluth nearly twenty
years ago when it was struggling
four-page daily, and when every news
boy was obliged to fold his own pa
pers. We could not help but note the
difference in papers when we received
a copy of it's mammoth forty-page
New Home" edition last week. 1t
was a daisy.
Lieutenant Iobson in his speech be-
fore the legislature said that militar-
ism must give way to "industrialism"
This sounds good from a naval Off
Ger, but: the spirit of militarism is
growing. 1t goes hand in hand with
"commercialism." Real industrialism
will not require any army or navy
for protection. Some day armies and
navies will be looked upon as relics Of
barbarism. The country that goes
around with a gun on it's shoulder ex-
pecting trouble will be as out of place
as the armed man who once paraded
the street of a frontier city.
Real industrialism, In the coming
era of ideal christianity; when COM
mercial greed shall have had it's day:
when imperialism in any form shall
have vanished and when capitalism
now wrongly called industrialism,
shall have died in it's own infancy, will
look to: higher things than vengeance
for the righting of wrongs.

The city counciI has appointed a
committee to- Investigate into the ad-
ministration Of :tfe5several departments
Of the city: Che committee consists
Of President Haven, Aldermen Krun1-
sieg and TreVtilioR. The idea Of the
instigators Of theS Investigation is to
ascertain if hefdenartments are work
ing as economicallk as they should be.
Chairman Trevillion of the police
and license. committee whitewashed the
Globe EnploymeIt agency, whose
clerk was recently convicted Of de-
frauding two. Woodsmen. There have
been so many Complaints against en-
.ployment agents. IL recent years, a,A1
so few convictions Tor violation of law
have been secured, for lack Of evidence,
that it would seem orly,ju for the
council to make an example OF guilty
offender, when: II has the rare oppor-
tunity to do 90. Alderman Trevillion's
excuse for lenienry was that the offen-
der was d cripple.sy
The people will have good oppor-
tunity to fid out what franchises in the
city are laying about unused. Accord
ing to Mr..xKrumsieg's resolution
adopted on Monday evening, every
corporation enjoying franchise will
be required to. furnish to the council
a financial statement OF It's earnings.
A failure to do this will be sufficient
reason to declare franchise forfeited.
1t is reported that there are several
unused franchises standing out, and
this will be : good way to find out
who claims anyzrights under them.

Behir'l closed doors at the West Su.
perlOr hotel the Lake Carriers assOcia-
tion and the lumber handlers COM
mittees continued to hold session after
session from Tuesday morning until
Wednesday night, when the object was
attained and wage scale of IS cents
an hour for the entire season Of 1908
was adobted.
While the conference has not been of
violent character, employe and em-
ployer have indulged in emphatic lam
guage as they presented their respective
sides of the question.
During the season of 1902 the lum-
ber handlers received 52h cents an hour
for the entire season provided the
freight rates did not reach $500 q thou
sadn or higher. In the event of the
latter change the wage scale was to be
Increased to SIS cents an hour.
Secretary Runnels of the Lumber Car
riers, said of the meeting.
1--WE found the handlers committee
we'll equipped with arguments, taking
up point by point as they were present.
I'd >nd considering them with the
science Of diplomats. Of course the scale
ts three and a half cents an hour more
than last summer but the handlers
made concessions sufficient to balance
the account.
1--WE stood out for raise" said dele
gate McGinnis of the handlers, "and
we got it. While some heated argu-
ments were ensued there was not a mo-
ment when an ybody forgot to be cour-
teous.
of
terially increased. There is only a few
months when the long:shornan can
work, and we insisted on remuneration
in accordance with these conditions
The. next conference will be held ut
Manistee to fix a Lake Michigan wage
scale.
The following. delegates we're present
representing the Longshoremen: Dull
nth, JOS. Gauthier, Mcintyre, Cluegf.
West Superior, e. George, McGinnis,. J.

& Price. Keefe $W as 81 lso j. ne M
bers. Of the conf ference: M. MI 2 Keefe IL
president Of the International Longshore
Workers.
One of the concessions made by the
Lumber Carriers that interests local
men is the clause which provides that
there will be no loss Of time less than
one hour. Arbitration is also provid-
ed for in any disputes that may arise
during the season.
An interesting debate took place dur
ing the session. Mr.. Hines, one of the
Longshoremen lost his temper and in
formed the Longshore1nen that if they
did not want to work on the docks at
wages offered by the carriers they
should get out of the way and permit
men to work that would accept those
wages. Pus Keefe's reply is said
said to be a dandy. In a most cour-
teous manner he took the props from
under Hines. "Some of our men," said
Keefe, have worked on the docks for
rs years. The work has become second
nature to us. We have the right to
| regulate the wages, and you have no
more right to ask us to get out of the
way than we have to demand that you
to quit the business. Our rights are
just as sacred as yours
The report that secretary Barter had
resigned was confirmed at the confer
| ence, but at meeting of the executive
council held in Detroit last week, Mr.
Barter was induced to reconsider his
action. Mike Cannon of Ashland was
careful observer of the conference.
