Shorty after $3.50 message was re-
ceivsd from SAINT Claus from Friday
Harbor saying that he had his hands
full there but would be over soon. He
arrived in n short time with sleigh
bells jingling and climbing into the
window back Of the stage, arrived in
snow-storm, though elsewhere on the
island there was not flake to be seen.
Santa started right into business dis
trlbuting gifts among the children, the
committee attending TO the adults.
The sudden appearance of a "young
Santa Claus" when the last brick of
hecandy chimney was disposed of, was
a novelty which greatly delighted the
little folks. Christmas eve 1908 Will be
bright spot in lie's toilsome march
for all who were in attendance. 'Hhe
pastor and his efficient committee did
Il lot of hard work aud well earned TIE
reward which belongs to good and
faithful servants"

Duluth Labor World: So many peo-
pie outside of trade unions are ever
lastingly criticising them for their al
legged attitude in the Miller case. The
fact Of the matter is that the trade
unions have made no threats against
the president. They are simply taking
advantage of their right to petition,
and ask, for the good of the service,
that MIR. Miller be removed. If every
one knew Mr.. Miller as well as some
OF the members of the Minnesota State
Federation of Labor he would have
been discharged long ago.

Minneapolis journal :, It is under
stood that John Frater, county
treasurer Of Crow Wing county will
be a candidate for the senate to fill
the unexpired term Of the late A. F.
Ferris. As Morrison county has botn
house members and the congressman,
the senatorship is conceded to Crow
Wing, and the succession is said to be
already settled. MI. Frater is serv-
ing his eight consecutive term as coun-
ty treasurer, q remarkable showing of
confidence, and is ready to retire. He
is willing to step into the legisla-
tive life for while and with his
experience in public business ought to
make valuable member.

DEFENCE OF THE, WALKING
DELEGATE, 80

~OOAAAo0 W.. ANo"6s 0O4AOAVVO1
friends Of union labor have been urg-
ing for years that walking delegates be
deposed. The walking delegate is a
creature with ratty mustache, smoking
q big cigar, with bottle of chan
payne at his elbow and headlight
diamond in his shirt front. He il
surrounded by q circle Of starving
workmen whom he has forbidden to
WORK, garnished by thin wives weep
ing over pallid, ragged children. All
he does is to keep men from work who
are other wise anxious to work.
That ia carefully reared myth.
The real walking delegate is a man
who inspects members Of the unions
that he serves. He cannot order a
strike. He is supposed to see that GER
tain regulations are complied with.
He is supposed to stop members Of the
unions VINO are working away from
those conditions. The conditions are
supposed to be drawn in the interest
Of the unions. He cannot originate leg
islation nor exercise any authority
over the men not conferred upon him
by the regulations.
Az q matter Of fact some Of the reg
ulations hinder the unions more than
they help them. Their force il some
times misconstrued by the walking
delegate. And the authority conferred
on him is sometimes abused. 1t
would seem to an outsider that it
would be better if he was required to
report to an executive committee for
issuing any order whatever.
However, in all the history of organ
lied labor, we have heard of just
one man who systematically abused
his authority. He ordered or threat
ened strikes on various Pretexts that
he might call them of when he was
paid for it. It was careless Of the
union to let, such g man have the
place. AS careless as for the voters of
Minneapolis to elect Ames or for the
Pennsylvanians to worship Quay. But
angels are scarce.
This man Parks has very properly
been indicted and sentenced for his
crimes. And when political friends
in New York made him marshal of
the Labor day parade, less than ten
Thousand men, where forty thousand
were expected, consented to march
behind him. 80.
