gambling device known as the marble
game Keck arrived in the city late in
the afternoon and went Immediately to
hotel. He had been there but a short
time before he was accosted by two we'll
dressed men, who invited him to drink
with them. The strangers induced Keclx
to accompany them to a room in Clark
street. There they introduced him to the
game which cost him $500.

Statehood Defeated.
The defeat of the statehood bill will
prevent for some time AMI perhaps for
ever the admission of New Mexico and
Arizona as separate States. The Re
publicans are promising to introduce a
bill in the next Congress to bring in
both territories as one State, but as
the people of both New Mexico and
Arizona object to being merged even
If such measure was passed, it might
not be ratified by the people One
great objection raised to a merger of
the two territories is the enormous dis
lance from the eastern to the western
boundaries, which is over 700 miles, as
the crow flies, but the greatest objec-
ton is that the people of the two ter
ritories object to being Joined togeth-
er.
The promise made in the Republi-
can platforms of 1896 and 1900 that
New Mexico, Arizona and Oklahoma
should be admitted to statehood has,
like many other Republican promises,
gone for naught This record for max
ing promises in national platforms,
with the evident intention of nor keep
ing them will throw a doubt upon any
future planks of that nature, and in
deed upon all declarations of the pol
Icy to be declared by the Republicans
Senator Hanna explains this shortcom-
iGs of his party and incidentally apol-
ogizes for his own opposition to state
hood, by expounding the doctrine that,
when both parties adopt the same
planks and make the same promises
there is no issue and they are there
fore meaningless.
1t will be well for voters to remem-
Der this when they justify their adhe-
sion to the Republican party in 1904,
by promises made in the platform, for
there is no doubt that both parties will
make strong declarations against the
trusts. Thus, according to Hanna,
there will be no issue between the
parties on that important subject, as
The Republicans are only bound by
promises when the Democrats disagree
with them
If Senator Hanna was not chairman
of the Republican national committee
and looked to as the leader of his par
ty, such an audacious doctrine. that
virtually modifles the promises made
to the people on most important sub
jects, would not be worthy of notice,
but as the great majority of the Re-
publican Senators acquiesced in the
doctrine, it must stand as their opinion
also.
The position of the Democrats has
been consistent, their platform declar-
ed for statehood for the territories and
the votes and efforts of the representa-
tives of the party have been unit to
carry out the pledge made. Their po-
sition cannot be gainsaid, neither can
it be objected to, except upon parti-
san bigotry, for the treaty that coded
the territories to the United States
promised full political rights. Now
that the territories have a larger pop
ulation than other States had when
admitted, it Is a matter of fairness they
should be given statehood, according to
the political division they have SO long
enjoyed.

FAILED TO UNITE.

In politics it appears to be "a dis
union of labor" There are four union
labor candidates for appointment on
the Board of Public Works, and it is
safe to say that none of them will sue
coed. Mayor Hugo, in an interview
said that union labor failed to unite on
any one man. From the mayors talk
it could be seen that he would have
been pleased to appoint trade union
list, had union labor united on a cam
didate.
Take the case of J. w. Richardson
for instance. He was an open and
avowed candidate for the position, but
his union endorsed its president Ed.
Lowe who had not been a candidate
previous to Tuesday evening. The
policy of labor choosing the candidate
is certainly a good one. If the union
is to mix in politics, and if men are to
seek political office on their record as
union men, then the proper thing to do
is to secure the support Of their organ
ization before making application to
the mayor. If the carpenters union
really waited representative on the
board it would be the height OF folly
to have two candidates in the field.
The plumbers go at such things in
the right manner. There were several
candidates for plumbing inspector, but
when the union endorsed one man
every other candidate withdrew, and
it is safe to say that the unions selec-
ton will be favorably considered.

PAINTERS AND BOSSES AGREE.
Every Pain Shop in Duluth is to be
Strictly Union.

Every bosss painters in Duluth will
this year run a strictly union shop for
the first time. For several weeks COM
mitties from the union and the bos-
SEES association have been trying to
get together on common grounds. Sew
eral conferences were held in the rooms
of the Builders Exchange, and for a
time it was feared that negotiations
would fall through. Wiser judgement
prevailed in the end, and an agreement
was reached.
Under the compact the bosses will
employ none but members in good
standing with the painters local union.
The minimum wage will be IS cts
per hour, and eight hours will COM
stitute a days work. No member of
the union will be permitted to take
contracts Or do work on his own ac-
count.
At Tuesday nights meeting of the
union the committees action was rat
flied by a large majority, and the first
time in the history of the painters
union, the white winged dove of peace
has descended on both employers and
employees. 1t is hoped that every party
to the compact will live up to the
agreement to the letter. The Labor
World takes this opportunity of cong
ratulating the painters and bosses upon
the good sense and wisdom displayed
by coming together. Let pessimists
whine and groan If they wish, for it
is folly to say that the employers and
employees cannot come together in
trade matters. Possibly both may be
called upon to surrender a little pride
and spunk, but the happier relations
that prevail will surely have most
prosperous and peacable effect. Now
let the other trades get together, and
let us get the most out of these pros
porous times.

ESCAPED FROM HAREM,
But MUST GO BACK
Spain Will Surrender a Moorish
Woman.

MADRID, June 1.-The Spanish gov
ernment is about to hand over to the
Moorish government a runaway from the
harem of the Sultan.
The unfortunate woman, who is said
to be of remarkable-even dazzling
beauty, landed at Cadiz about month
ago from a British steamer, which had
taken heron board at Tangier. She went
to Seville, where a pious woman took
charge of her, and converted her TO
Christianity.
On her baptism she changed her name
from Fatima 20 Dolores, and, donning
European attire, she earned her living
as a needlewoman. All went well for a
few weeks, Dolores imagining herself
safe in Alt Christian" Spain from her
pursuers. But Mohammed Torres, the
Sultan of Morocco's minister, made de-
mand for her return, and the Spanish
government has acquiesced.
The unfortunate woman goes back to
life of misery. For the Test of her
natural existence she will be chained by
the ankles to prevent her again attempt
ing to escape.
The press is highly indignant at the
action Of the government. and it is re-
ported that Fatima expressed the inten-
tion Of committing suicide rather than
go back.

Year Necessary to Put System in

NEW YORK, June 1.-The CONNER
cial utility of wireless telegraphy is an
assured fact. 1t will take time TO adjust
but the ultimate result is a foregone
conclusion"
In these words Thomas A Edison to-
day expressed his confidence in the flu
ture of wireless telegraphy.
Il have made an alliance with Mr..
Marconi," said the great inventor, sole
" because 1 believe IN wireless telegra-
ply. and am satisfied of its destiny
There is no shadow Of doubt in my mind
that in a short time wireless telegraphy
will stand at the top of the list of prac-
teal utilities.
II cannot fix time limit in our pre-
paratory work. Mr. Edison continued
II know how skertical the public feels.
and l would have everybody understand
that every great invention moves slowly
in its preliminary stage.
why, take the electric motor car, for
example, now that the car is a recog-
nized success. You will hardly credit
the fact that IL took me years to awaken
interest IN IT, AFTER the mechanical DIFF
icuities had been conquered railroad
men took three years TO develop any in
terest IN it."
Asked to make a prediction as to the
length of time that must elapse before
wireless telegraphy win be ready for
business in the full sense of the term.
Mr.. Edison smiled grimly and answered:
Il am not in the prediction business
Nevertheless. viii say that one year of
hard work will probably put wireless
teIegraphy in complete commercial har-
ness. Mind you" he fastened to add,
az do not fix time-I merely guess
at it.
THE public must understand that up
TO this time Mr. Marconi has had all the
work upon his own shoulders His SUI
pervision was vitality essential at every
point. The marvel is that he pushed the
work so far ahead. single handed and
alone But there will be a division of

YALE SENIOR "CABBY'
DRIVES TO TROUBLE

NEW HAVEN, Conn. June Thereon
Rounded Strong, a Yale senior, son of
Thereon Strong, of New York, volun-
teered to drive a carriage for James L.
Nesbit, local HveryInan, whose men
were on strike. Strong was stationed at
the railroad station Saturday night, and
picked up fare in the person of William
Mccarthy, superintendent of the Elm
City Brass Company, who lives a mile
and a half from the station. According
to Mccarthy, when he arrived home,
Strong attempted to charge him an ex-
orbftant price for his ride. Strong, it
is said, made known who he was. But
Mccarthy, it is declared, asserted that
he could see no reason why he should
be taxed for the privilege of being driven
about by wealthy Yale senior, and told
him he would settle with Nesbit. Strong
thereupon, it is alleged, leaped on the
veranda and smashed in Mr.. Mccarthy S
door. Mr.. Mccarthy called the police,
and caused Strong's arrest. The "cabby''
was released later, on bail furnished by
Nesbit.
