The fact that w. A. Miller, an
expelled member of the binder, s
union, has been reinstated in
his position in the government
bindery at Washington, has
stirred up great deal of inter-
est thruout the country,
Whether or not Mr.. Miller holds
his position is of very little
Importance, but the important
question raised by the case is
whether or not the bookbind-
ers union or the civil service
commission is to say who shall
and who shall not work in the
government bindery. Labor
unions have many commenda-
able advantages, but when
they assume to dictate to the
United States government, it
is time to call a halt, and this
President Roosevelt very pro-
perly did.

During the past year the
number of women wage earners
in the state has not increased
correspondingly with the mum
Der of men employed. While
this may be a source OF lrr1ta-
ton when servants are sought,
it is at least source of satisfact-
ion when the general conditions
of women are considered. And
it also reflects credit on the men
who are laboring so indutrious-
1y that it is not necessary for
women to leave the home to
seek employment. st. Paul

This from The Lakefield
Herald is pretty good explain
alton of why farm help is
scarce: That want of farm
help is easily explained when
we think of the vast tracts of
lands which have offered homes
to farm laborers and renters
for a nominal sum and thus
take away farm labor only to
double the demand. This is to
be expected and it is certainly
a 1audab1e ambition for a man
to seek a home of his own.
This difficulty might easily be
overcome, however, were it not
a 1amentab1e fact that there is
a prevalent idea among young
people that to make their mark
in the world they must enter
city life.

The appalling number of rail
way wrecks during the past few
months has called attention to
the great need of safety applian-
ces which shall prevent two
trains trying to use the same
track at the same time. The
mechanical equipment of the
railroads has reached such a
degree of perfection that wrecks
due to spreading rails, wash
outs and broken bridges are
largely a thing of the past,
and the blame for wrecks now
rests to an alarming extent on
the inability to understand
orders or to issue right ones.

The congressional situation
comp1icates tn in gs in t n e
seventh. Friends of NJ. J.Dow-
ling predict that he will be a
candidate, and that he will get
a large part of the Young fol-
lowing in the last years fight.
Mike is not saying word, but
he has an organization perfect
ed which could be put in cam
paign condition in very short
time. The opposition to Vol
stead reasons that if he is al
lowed to get denomination he
will be able to build up per
feet organization thru the post
masters of the district, and that
four years for him will very
likely mean ten. If he is to be
retired, it must be next year.
Naturally, they pin they hopes
to Bowling. It is little too
early to judge of Volstead as
congressman, and the bulk of
the voters are disposed 20 wait
until after this winters session
of congress before deciding
whether he should continue to
represent them. If he makes
a good record, it will be very
hard proposition to dislodge
him. The only trouble he has
had thus far is with postmas-
ter appointments in Grant and
Stevens counties. He has
made three appointments up
there recently, and is said to
have recognized the leading
men of the towns, who we're
Young supporters last year,
rather than the men who made
the fight for Volstead. This
has piqued some Of the Vol
stead men, but has satisfied the
rest that the new congressman
does not hold grudge against
men who did not happen to be
for him.

A Buffalo judge has granted
Bertha G.. Hubbard a divorce
from Ebert Hubbard FRA
Elbertus) on account of the
immortality of that notorious
author and publisher. The
divorced wife is allowed ST 800
a year alimony and $500 year
for expenses of caring for two
of the children. Hubbard
objected to allowing the
alimony, on the ground
that he was poor. 1t was
shown that he was worth $3.50,
600. In the past he has object
ed to obeying the order of the
court that he should pay the
expenses of supporting one OF
his illegitimate children.

The negro crime of assault
and probably murder near
Montevedio brings it pretty
close to home and it seems the
more revolving. If the negro
Jackson had been jailed in
Montevideo there is little doubt
but what 1ynching would have
followed. He is now at Glencoe
and will be regularly tried, but
provision should be made for a
very prompt dispensing of
Justice in such cases. If that
were done there would be less
lynching crimes, with their bad
moral and example. It would
seem to be the duty of the
authorities to call a grand
jury and hold a special term of
court so that time would not
remove evidence and import
ant witnesses.
1t will be remembered there
was a lynching of two men at
Glencoe only about ten years
ago. The sheriff attempted to
arrest them for some crime and
they shot him in the road.
They were tried but acquitted
on some technicality and could
not be tried again. When re
leased mob took them in
hand and quietly hung them
from a bridge. There was no
doubt of their guilt and if lynch
law is ever justif1u1 it was in
that case.
Justice will have to move a
little faster and allow fewer
guilty men to escape to hold
the respect of the people.

Political Comment .

The Minneapolis Journal in
discussing seventh district
politics says: Seventh district
politics is in an interesting
condition just now. No one
can tell what the republicans
of this great republican district
will decide to do in the next
state convention, and there are
half dozen different courses
open to them. The district will
probably present a solid front
for the denomination of Judge
Brown, who halls from Stevens
county. Whether or not any
other candidate will be present
is doubtful. Frank Eddy is a
tentative candidate, but even
his friends do not feel sure that
he will ever get beyond that
stage; and if he should enter
the fight actively, he would
have hard time getting the
delegations from the south
side of the district. There is
still a possibility that E. 1.
Young may enter the race for
attorney general, but he is not
doing anything in that direc-
ton now.
Politicians of the district are
anxious1y waiting for Eddy or
Young to make up their minds.
Julius Schmah1 has been press
ed to become a candidate for
state treasurer, and F. Jacob
son is being importuned to en-
ter the free-for-a11 contest for
railroad and warehouse COM
missioner. Strangely enough,
the pressure on both these gen
tlemen comes from people
friendly to Governor Van SAINT.
It looks as tho they were trying
to break Eddy's strength and
to put the screws on julius
Block. Jacobson's candidacy,
with that of Valentine or some
one equally strong, would give
the Mi11s-Mi1ler combination
all it could do without mixing
in the governorship contest.
If neither Eddy nor Young
becomes an active candidate,
Schmahl, Jacobson or some one
else might come out as a can
didate for state office from the
seventh district; but every
thing is uncertain now.
