customary Cor Mattison to wear, a

DowIE A MAN OF MYSTERY.

Whether Dowie's home, Shiloh House,
is connected with the administration
building, 200 feet away, by an under
ground tunnel is a question that is puz-
zling Chief Custodian Redieske Dowie
had an appointment with Redieske,
and while the custodian was standing
at the door of the administration build
ing waiting for Dowie to appear he was
notified that Dowie was awaiting him
inside.
Dowie kept another appointment to-
day in the same mysterious manner,
and then Redieske came to the conclu-
sion that Dowie must have an under
ground passage between the two build
ings. Not once since the receivers
seized Zion City has it's founder been
seen outside the doors, yet he has held
conferences both at his home and at
the administration building.
Investigations to-day show that the
fuel supply of many families in Zion
City is reduced almost to nothing. The
extent to which the people of Zion City
have beggared themselves is shown by
a trip through the town. Many of the
poorer residents, the men and women
who work in the factories, live in
houses fimsy in construction and unfit
to live in through Chicago winter.

full of coal or dozen or two sticks of
wood comprised the entire visible fuel

Others, still less fortunate, possessed
neither coal nor cordwood. In several
Instances the occupants had gone back
to stumps and roots and piles of dried
grass and straw as the sole protection
against freezing. To such straits have
some of these enthusiasts been driven
that instead of chopping down trees
they dig them UP by the roots so as to

ASSEMBLY FOR GOOD MEN.
Advises delegates to be cautious and
Conservative at All Times. 1t Pays
superior After Bell Tele-
phone Company.

Under the head of Good and Welfare
at the Assembly meeting last Friday
evening, H. c. stivers, the fraternal
delegate from Superior was called upon.
He replied humorously to the attempts
of both cities to celebrate Labor Day,
and said that Superior had decided to
make the best Of a bad job by follow
ing the example Of Duluth in giving a
dance. II wish to- compliment your
I assembly,, continued Mr. Stivers, :.he-
cause pou have so many good men III
it! 1t is brains: that count to-day. If
you continue to be cautious and con-
servative in your actions you will be
tower of strength to this city. Over in
Superior we are trying to keep out of
trouble also. We have little difficulty
with the Bell Telephone company, but
We expect to have it adjusted very
soon. We are expecting some support
from the business interests Of Superior.
Business men are beginning to ap-
preclate organized labor. Is it not pecul
lar that business likes to get near to
organized labor?~ It does not go south
where labor is cheap, but it comes
north where labor is well paid. There
fore the labor question is a business
mans question, as we'll as a wage

LABOR AND THE MILITIA.

A most radical recommendation for
dealing with the opposition of organ
lied labor toward state military or
CARNATIONS is contained in an inspec-
ton report made public at the war de-
partment. 1t was made by Captain
W. O. Johnson of the Sixteenth in
fantry, who recently inspected the
Third brigade Of the Pennsylvania
guard.
''.rhe labor unions," says the captain,
make the life of a national guards
man as unpleasant as possible and OBJ
struct the recruiting OF companies. The
majority of the members of the unions
seem to think they are carrying
through great revolution in govern
ment and that the union organizations
will secure an official standing.
"The laws Of the unions are already
recognized by many as the supreme
law, and this is made manifest espe-
cially in the opposition to the national
guard. It is recommended that efforts
be made to get the two leading politi-
cal parties to agree in deprecating
union interference in the national
guard

A young office boy in the Minne-
apolis mills was compelled to act as a
strike breaker during the present
strike there. In loading sack of
flour he ruptured a blood vessel and
died one hour later. AS much as this
death is to be regretted the mill own
ers should not be excused for their
action in placing such men in the
mills. If such work will kill some
men, it certainly must be hard on even
those who are adapted to 1t. Eight
hours in the -four and dust Of rolling
mill each day is long enough. It is
to be regretted that the mill owners
do not recognize this.

No true American citizen will Ques-
.tion President Rooseve1t's attitude in
the Government bookbindery case. OF
course the government cannot make a
discrimination between citizens be-
cause Of the fact that some may be
unions men and others may not be.
Neither should a discrimination be
made because Of their religious belief.
By the way, how would it be to make
no discrimination because of their
political belief? If union labor went
into politics right, it could make the
government office a strictly union
office, just as the politicians have
made it strictly partisan office

Myrtle Rose Stewart Conducts One
There Last Sunday.
Mrs. Myrtle Rose Stewart of Duluth
delivered an address at the court
house Sunday afternoon before a large
audience. Mrs. Stewart is a lady Of
pleasing personality and her address
was an interesting one, not only to
those who are interested in organized
labor but to those who have no con-
nection with labor organizations.
There are many who by reading
distorted accounts of labor meetings.
get an idea into their heads that all
laboring people advocate force in
dealing with questions where there
is a difference between capital and
labor. Mrs. Stewart advises the
laboring people to study and post
themselves on the questions that so
vitality concern them and to organize
SO that they may be better able to deal
lntel1igently with their EMPLOYERS.
She believes that the laboriug men
have made great advancement long
this line in the past and that by or
ganization and honest dealing with
their employers they will yet win
more OF what they have created bv
the labor Of their hands. The address
was full of good advice not only for
the employe but for the EMPLOYERS
and the visit of Mrs. Stewart to this
city has made many friends for the
cause of labor

DON'T BE TOO HASTY.

A special meeting of the Duluth
Trades Assembly was called last week
for the purpose Of placing a boycott
on the local breweries because Of the
failure Of the employers and the

IF it were not for q few strong MEM
bers in the Trades Assembly the boy
colt would have been placed without
question. The brewery workmen
imagined that this course would set
tie the matter in a hurry, but other
union men thought otherwise. They
felt that it would be unwise to levy
a boycott first, and then endeavor tc
make peace. 1t would be about as
ridiculous a proposition as in the case
where a nation declares war, and then
makes an effort to settle the question

union labor abuses the boycott it wit
soon render it ineffective.
In the brewery dispute the Trades
Assembly voted to take time. A
committee, a good conservative one
was sent to the employers and in
forty-eight hours every union brewery
man was back to work with his scan
signed, and the relations between the
employers and the union were made
mutual. This. is what patience and
ordinary common sense secured. This
is what it will always secure if the
parties In the dispute are disposed tt
be fair. If the Assembly had placed

A HINT,

Once there was a union man
Who wouldn't pay his dues:
He drew his money SATURDAYS
And blew it in for booze.
The boss he cut his wages
; And his landlord raised his rent:
But. when he turned his pockets out
He couldn't find a cent
of course he told his troubles then
To every one in town.
But he wasn't in good standing'
So the union "let him down.
He tramps the streets in idleness.
His clothes are wearing out.
They'll pull him as a warrant
If he don't watch out.
Now here's a hint to others
Who are inclined to stray:
Don't work but Just eli ght hours
And demand the scale of pay.
Keep paid I'D in the union:
Mind what you're about.
For the boss will cut your wages
If YOU don't watch out.

fnE NEXT MAYOR Or DUEUTA


There will be no lack OF fnayoralty
timber at the coming election. Mayor
Hugo has signified hiy Intention to be-
come candidate for reelection. AL
derman Joseph Mannheim has the bee
buzzing In his bonnet, and DR.. Gull
lufn is favorably mentioned by large
number OF citizens who believe that
he is made of the right kind Of stuff
that should constitute a mayor.
It makes little difference to this pa
per what the party politics Of the
next mayor Of Duluth are. The sue
cess Of our party may aid somewhat
in it's organization, but the interests of
the people are of more Importance.
Free trade, free silver nor any other
national issue will cut any figure in the
city. What is wanted is a man OF
good, sound, business Judgment, pos
sessed with ordinary common sense
and a sufficient amount of backbone
to protect the people against the greed
OF private interests.
There will be no police issue in this
campaign, because the present police
department is in splendid shape. There
can be but little said on the tax ques-
ton, because the city is run remark
ably cheap for municipality Of such
an area. The saloon question is not
likely to be an issue for the rea-
son that the liquor law is enforced
Just about as the majority of the peo-
pie wish it to be. So then what will
be the issue? If we cannot answer
that, then what should be the issue
There is one all important one. 1t
should be proposed now and advocated
until the legislature is in session III
1905. That is the securing Of the nee
essary authority for the purchase OF
construction Of modern electric
lighting plant. Yes, it should be more
than this. It should be a demand on
the part Of the people for absolute
home rule in the administration OF
their local affairs. No citizen, how
ever able, should be permitted to oc-
cupy the mayors chair unless h.
pledges himself to work for this very
necessary reform. The man who
takes this position, and who posses.
ses what we regard as the necessary
qualifications for the office shall have
our personal and editorial support
and we do not give a rap what his
party politics are. This is a time
when every citizen should place HIM
self above the ordinary partisan and
take a stand for the common welfare
Of all the people.
