SO that no gaps may be found in the
line on the final day.
All such preparations being made, it
would be wise for the student to call
upon the prominent citizens in his pre-
cinct and request their presence around
the polls for as much of election day
as they can afford to spare. They may
not be able to accomplish anything di-
rectly, but their presence will encour-
age the younger workers and stimu-
late them to greater exertions. Be
sides, the presence of prominent and
substantial citizens at the polls gives
their party higher standing and has
it's effect upon the doubtful voters and
what is known as the floating element
1t also arouses an interest in politics
in the minds Of these citizens them
selves, which is always to be desired
for the future good of the party and
the country.
Information For Voters.
Two or three days before the election
there should be sent through the mails
or delivered in person to each voter
belonging to your party a notice. This
notice should contain the following in
formation:
The date of the election, the hours of
opening and closing the polls, the loca-
ton of the voting place and such other
information as may be useful to him.
1t is wise for the committee to OBJ
serve the Sunday preceding the cleo
ton as day of rest The election Or
dinarily comes on Tuesday, and day
Of complete rest two days before will
fit all party workers to accomplish bet
ter results than would be possible if
they have tired out body and mind, as
they must do if they continue their
labors uninterruptedly.
For the same reason the final meet
ing of the committees and workers the
evening before election should not be
needlessly prolonged. and all should
retire early. prepared to be on the
| ground at least fifteen minutes before
the opening of the polls.

W. A. Stryker, president Of Hamilt on

Unions Of labor have come to stay
Combination and community of inter,
est are their inherent right also. They
are fact and factor. They must be

in denying them recognition.
Fingers in ones ears is an ultimatum
that two can play at. To hide under

but will not stop the thunderstorm.
Even to criminal the law does not
deny the right to choose his own attor-
ney. The credentials of any spokesman
are from those who send him, not from
those to whom he is sent. The principal
accredits his agent. -
Organized capital speaks through its
delegate. Labor has the same right If
given envoy is difficult, austere Or Of
fensive, so much the worse for those
who commission him. Either party may
request different delegate, but to pre-
scribe how L. shall be chosen Or to re-
fuse all is to break off diplomatic rela-
tons. The right not to deal through self
sent meddlers does not modify the duty
to recognize those who are properly in
dorsed. Only faulty challenges ~ the
right Of men to act and to speak col
lectively and by whom they will. OBJ
viously 100000 workmen cannot state

Mr.. Baer, or as to Mr. Mitchell, is not
whether he is in the employ eff those to

thorized by those from whom he comes.

Another View on Socialism

Fergus Falls, Mimi, Feb. Goth, 1903.
Victor E. Lawson, Esq
Willmar, MINI.
My Dear Mr.. Lawson:-I cannot re-
frain from addressing few words to
you anent the matter on "Socialism"
in the issue of l4.h inst. of the WILL.
MAR TRIBUNE.
Dr. Hills would leave his hearers
to believe that under socialism we
would have a thousand "orows"
where we now have one clark" I
presume he considers himself the
lark. 'Suppose one lark sings, can
we expect beautiful song from a
thousand crows?' That sentence
means, if it means anything that
under our present Industrial system
one thousand human beings must and
should slave their lives away even as
the beasts of the field in order to pro-
duce one intellectual titap I ask you
could any socialist have arraigned
the present system with more terri
bic Indictment?
If it we're NECESSAY that the many
should be slaves in order that the few
might be great, l might discuss the
justiti ableness of it. But it is NOT
necessary. Given the marvellous
means of produ ction now at the dis
posal Of man, and with the sc:enti6c
organization of industry and elimina-
ton Of all waste and needless work,
we could produce enough and more
than enough to keep all in luxury by
three or four hours of healthful work
daily by the able bodied members of
society.
II by living in riotous luxury upon
the labor of the masses, few, under
our present sy stem became sweet sing
ing larks, DR.. Hills might have some
little justification in making the state
ment he did. But our plutocracy in
stead of singing the notes of Homer,
Milton or Shakespeare, are sing
ing the song OF the divorce court.
The great souls who have sung the
true clear notes that are still ringing
down through the ages, are not they
who were toiled for by the many. It
did not take dependent toilers to
make Carlyle, Franklin, a Lin
coin, a Whittier nor an Emerson;
Burke nor Browning; Goethe or a
Humboldt; a La Place Or q Pasteur.
The debasement of humanity to the
toll for others has given the world a
Krupp and q Rothehild, Carnegie
and q Rockefeller, a Morgan and q
Bhaer who are great or rather noted
only in their own generation. But
this is not all. These kings of indus
try have won their banked up NIL
lions, in part at least, by their indus
try and cunning, however little prob
ity entered into their efforts. Their
children to whom those vast accumu-
lations of the labor of the many will
come, have never known an hours
toll. They will riot on their magnifi-
cent incomes and continue as they
have already begun, with their mon
key dinners, Du Barry plays, and
Louis XIV balls. ~ =. s. .s s .. j

look beyond the seas for a moment.

Will Have New Depot.

Scotland Special: It. is now an
assured fact that the Milwaukee rail-
road company will erect a hand
some new depot at this place in the
spring. There is d large transfer
business at this point. and the pres
ent building has for many years been
too small to accommodate the patrons
Of the road. A petition has been
prepared. setting forth the desires
of the citizens in regard to the pro-
posed new building. and this, after
being literally signed, has been for
warded to the proper officials of the
road. An official Of the company,
who recently visited Scotland for
the purpose Of looking into the
matter. said before his departure
that he would cheerfully ludorse
the petition Of the citizens.

30 Ras The tiambIers.

Mention was made in these columns
a few days ago of the presence OF a
couple OF alleged robbers WHO were
in the city, as having been arrested
at Chamberlain and liberated. when
ii was discovered that no charge
could be laid against them. 1t was
supposed that they were a pretty
tough lot. They were robbers sure
enough, but not Of the kind that
makes raids on banks and houses
The Chamberlain Journal gives an
interesting account Of the fellows
and their class OF business. The
Journal said that when they were
taken before the justice TO STAND
their examination they readily tod
what their class Of business was
They had the paraphernaiia for going
against the gambling houses and
beating them at their own game.
They had gone out to Chamberlain to
work the gambling houses and the
chances are that il they had not been
mistaken for another class the gam
blers would have been relieved of a
good sum of money. They carried
the appliances for loading the rou-
Iette wheels and all other gambling
devices that are used at Chamber
lain and was getting ready to put
them in operation. The same crowd
was at Deadwood a short time ago
and cleaned up the gambling places
with several thousand dollars to
their credit. It was too bad that
the Chamberlain authorities did not
let them operate out there and that
would, perhaps. have been N way
in which to rid the town OF the
fraternity.

Indicates Removal sentiment.

The Dell Rapids Tribune makes
reference 10 the success of Mitchell
in the legislature on capital removal.
matters. and gives its idea OF the
future outlook as follows: 'lne
capital question is therefore settled
50 far as the legislature is concerned,
and is before the people tor the hnai

The legislature has decided in favor
OF moving the capital TO Mitchell
By an overwhelming majority, ana
if the members voting for removal
represent the sentiment Of a majority
OF their constituents, Mitchell VIII
be pretty certain to get the capital.
Whichever way the election goes, the
vote will probably be decisive and
settle the location of the capital
permanently, which will be generally
gratifying We do not think it an
unfair proposition TO take the senti-
ment OF the legislature on removal
matters as an indication OF the
popularity of the idea over the state.
The legislators are supposed to reflect
the sentiment of their county on a
question of this kind. and il they
are in favor Of removing the capital
from Pierre they certainly want tc
relocate it at some other point in tie
state, and accessibility is the one
point that has brought the matter W
to such a popular point The ques-
ton is squarely for Mitchell OF
Pierre, and Il people have every
confidence that the vote will Ia IL
favor of our city. 1hs executive
committee is alive to the fact that
there is a hard fight on hand ant
their work will be done with thai
idea facing it.

And greater still, il possible, is the

cura Soap and Ointment have alleyiated
among the young, and the comfort
they have afforded WORKOUT and wor-
