London. Dec. 3.-London is to lead
the world in public ownership. This
thing which so long has been called
an 1mpracticable. theory will be given
thorough test in the worlds METROPOLIS.
American cities have never went be-

six miles from London. A new NUM-
cipality will be organized and known
as the city of @Tottenfam It is the
largest scheme ever undertaken by
any city in the world.
TO put in a few words, London is
building a city larger than Superior.

Portable homes to some of it's over
crowded working people, The new city
is six miles from london and will con-
tain 5,579 cottages holding 42,500 peo-
pie.
The streets will be fifty feet wide,
with trees on both sides. Five large
public gardens will give beauty to the
new city, and every family will have a.
separate home. The total cost of this
great undertaking will be $7,60O,0O0.
London will not only build this city,
but own and rent it as well.

L0NCSHOREMEN VOTE IN

ALMOST UNANIMOUSLY DECLARE
FOR NEW STATE PROGRAMME.
Proposition In Favor Of SocaIistic
Resolutions submitted by State
Federation Of Lakor Sustained By
Local Union. First Opportunity for
Individual Members to Declare
Themselves.

Longshoremens' Union No. IL, one Of
the largest local unions in the state
has declared almost unanimously in
favor of the enactment of the socialis-
tic resolutions submitted to a referen-
ton of the Minnesota State Federation
of Labor.
There were three propositions SUBJ
mitted to 4 referendum vote by the Fed
Grafton One of them declared in favor
of the amending Of the local constitu-
tions in behalf of independent political
action along the line of the class strug7
gle. Another declares in favor of theS
change of the preamble which is AMI
open declaration in favor of the social
lists, while the third is a trade union
proposition in favor of the union label
The propositions were submitted to a
vote last week. The vote of the long
shoremen is a surprise to the pure and
simple trade unionists. It had been ex-
pected that most of the Duluth unions
would turn down all attempts to con-
vert the state labor movement into Il
socialist political movement. This close
ly following the action of the A. F. Of
L., doubly assures the socialists of the
attitude of the rank and file in the la
Dor movement.

POLITICS AND
POLITICIANS.

There amt nothin doin in politics."
While the Primary election is but ten
days away there is scarcely enough
excitement to cause a rifle on the poll
teal sea. The Republicans are in
active. Mayor Hugo, having no oppo-
sition for the nomination, is taking it
easy and is patiently awaiting the de-
cision of the Democrats DR.. Cullum is
quietly but completely organizing his
forces. The substantial Democrats are
for him almost to a man. If DR.. Cullum
is defeated it will be by Republican
many Republicans would attempt to
vote at the Democratic primaries
against DR.. Cullum for the reason that
he will be most feared at the poles.
Democratic judges will be instructed
to be on the alert and all violators Of
the Primary law will be severely dealt
with In choosing DR.. Cullum the Dem
ocrats will be acting wisely-s His rec
ord i'm the Council is an open book.
FIe is fair, honest, conservative and
strictly business in municipal affairs.
AS an advocate of municipal owner
ship he stands without a peer in the
council. and there are some mighty
good champions of that cause among
the city dads. If elected mayor of this
city he will see that the law is enforc-
ed in a common sense manner. That
is all that any fair minded citizen
can expect. DR.. Cuulum holds the
confidence and respect of men in all
political parties, and he perhaps can
pull more votes from the Republican
party than any other Democrat in the
city, re editor of this paper has
worked with DR.. Cullum since 1895.
We unhesitatingly Vouch for him to
all friends who do not enjoy the
acquaintance Of the Doctor. His atti-
tude to organized lobar and their de-
mands for municipal legislation is en-
tirely acceptable to every workingman
who will take the pains to enquire
into his record.
DR.. Cullums opponent for the nomin-
alton, Jos. Mannheim, is working like
a beaver. 1t is not definitely known
whether he is making much Roadway
or not He is visiting many people,
and If hard work counts for anything
it will surely have it's reward Mr..
Mannheim is good man and if we
thought that he was stronger than
DR.. Cullum we would just as readily
support him, but we sincerely believe
that our view is true, and hence we
are compelled to give our support to
DR.. Cullum. Whatever the outcome
OF the Primary election may be we
will be found supporting the nominee
Aldermanic fights are interesting
and they are not. In the First, Fourth
and Seventh wards there will be much
activity. James Mcdowell of the Tvpo-
graphical union and G. S. Wilson are
crossing swords for party honors in
the First Ward In the Fourth ward
Frank Greene and Tom Trevillion will
have the pleasure of a bitter and excit-
ing contest. Some very good Republic
ans are after Trevillion's scalp, but it
must be admitted to begin with that
1t is, and will be no easy task.
Alderman Haven and c.. o. Nelson
are creating quite an Interesting stir

The party given by Mr.. and = MRS:
VIM. McEwen in honor Of their son
Charles at the Fire Hall "Wednesday
evening was one of the best events
ever taking place on Duluth Heights.
The occasion was the 21st birthday of
Charles McEwen. There was almost
100 couple present, and that many lit
tie children who seemed to enjoy them
selves as much as the older people.
The evening was spent at cards and
dancing. La Brosses Orchestra fur
nished music Charles was the recip-
lent of several very handsome presents.
Among them was gold watch given
by his friends and neighbors. 1t is a
handsome time piece. and was present
ed by Leroy Coons in few well chosen
remarks. Charles made his maiden
speech in reply. He thanked the peo-
pie for their remembrance and assured
them that he would always prize their
tokens and their friendship.
The dancing, which consisted in two
steps, Waiting, quadrilles and Scotch
dances was enjoyed by young and old
alike, and continued into the ''wee
sma"' hours. Those who did not care
to dance spent the evening at cards.
Everybody pronounced the event a
complete social success. Among the
guests were large number of friends

Birthday Party Was a Grand Sue
cess. Everybody Turned Out.
Former Neishbor J. H. Seville Is
Dead. 49,. 81
The people of Duluth Heights, par
ticulArly those who are obliged to run
foot race every morning to catch a
Car, with their coat in one hand, their
hat in another and their vests unbut-
toned will be more or. less interested
in a new invention which might save a
few moments time f8r them every
morning.
An automatic kinder, the operation
of which. is regulated by an ordinary
alarm, clock, will doubtless appeal to
every person whose duties include get
ting up early to start the fire in the
kitchen stove.
With this new continuance installed
in a. house it is necessary, upon retir-
ing, simply to assemble the fuel in the
stove or any fireplace, connect an at
tachment to the clock, and set the lat
ter at any required hour. When the
alarm sounds a illuminate is ignited
which, communicating with an inflam-
mable substance in the stove, range,
furnace, or CRATE, Immediately starts
the fire. BY the time the householder
or servant is up the fire is burning
briskly, and the water boiling.
From the back of. the clock used in
connection with the automatic fire
kinder extends a shaft, on which is
ley, the periphery of which is milled
or otherwise designed to create fric-
ton when rotated in contact with a
| relatively stationary member. BY the
! operation of a pivotal arm, a lug and
spring and other attachments in con-
| nection with the rotary disk, this en-
| tire external mechanism is set in mo-
| ton when the alarm is released.
Instantly a fuse, with an easily ig-
nitible illuminate at it's end, and held
| in place in a slot opening against the
| friction wheel, is set afire. The flame
properly confined within the metallic
SLOT, travels instantly over the in
| flammable strand, which is saturated
| with free-burning ingredients The
| clock may be set on nearby shelf or
| on the back of the stove of furnace
| projection. AS even a small and cheap
| alarm clock may be utilized, and as the
| tube incased fire strand may be con-
trolled, that part of the problem is
very simple.
! Moreover, any kind of kindling sub
| stance ordinarily used may be utilized
| The fuse may be employed merely tc
| ignite paper under the regulation
kindling wood fire with coal or. cord
! wood on top. In such cases the action
| is similar to that Of a match, or
rather, of several matches lighted
simultaneously, and: burning longer than
ordinary matches. z:=2 u: 81 Il i. St
