BEARD CAUSE oFPRoMoTloN
University Graduate Held Down By
Youthful Appearance - Hirsuts
Appendage Has Telling Effect.

A recent graduate of one of the great
universities secured q place with a
well-known firm at modest salary,
says the New York Sun. He fulfilled all
his duties satisfactorily, o. but there
seemed to be something lacking. Bust
ness callers did not seem to take him
seriously, and one would occasionally
inquire:
Say, bub, where's the boss?"
, The graduate finally decided to raise
beard. At the end Of a week his en-
ployer came to him and said: il .z
y Its. a. rather delicate subject, but
I'm glad that you have realized that
It IL your youthful appearance that
has been keeping, you. back. You will
take charge of the shipping department
tomorrow" And some people say
that appearances count for nothing
remarked the graduate. .'It took me
four years to get college education,
and In four weeks I'll have q beard.

strength Of the education, and got pro-

isle and to clear the land entirely by
1906. The effect this idea has had
upon the sugar industry has been little
less than disastrous. The laborer is
taken way and nothing offered in his
place. The cry was that the black man
working for less wages was standing
In the place of the Australian citizen.
1t this is so the white worker will

his ability to work in tropic fields.
- One result of the ruling ty the
masses is the great number of holidays
given. There is scarcely a date in the
calendar which is not made an excuse
Tor closing the shop and leaving the
work. At Easter, for instance, all busi-
ness houses are closed for four days.
Easter coming in their finest summer
weather, is set for the great racing
season, and in no country does the
sporting fever run so high as in the
new continent. Banks as we'll as cloth
Ing and provision shops are closed for
the entire time. Good Friday. then
the opening of the races on Saturday,
Easter Sunday and Easter Monday.
+ If all the banks and wholesale
houses were to close for four successive
days in this country we would think
the world was coming to an end.
/: Labor is at the head and wages have
been good and work fairly steady, but
there is beginning to be reaction.
Among the smaller manufacturers
there are many failures. The constant
demands of the union leaders, the ever
increasing number of holidays has
made it impossible to run a concern
with any profit, and there is a strong
influx of immigration toward the
states. In consequence of this there
Is much idleness among the common
wage earners.

and aristocracy look on while labor
puts it's hand to the gavel. How it
will ultimately work out remains to
be seen, for it is the opinion of many
that in seeking to better their condi-
ton, the labor party is overreaching
itself and the last proposition may be
worse than the first.
A great part of the income of Aus.
tralia has been from the vast sugar
plantations in the great hot country
of upper Queensland. Here is an un-
told wealth, for it has only been
opened up within the last Is or 80
years. the climate is 80 unbearable
that it is almost impossible for a white
man to work there. The ground is low
and tropical. Heavy rains and blind

For years the custom has been to
import labor from the outlying islands.
These islands are Inhabited by race
seemingly fitted for just such labor.
They are rather small, very dark and

equator. Among these islands are
traders. They contract with the poo
pie to work in the Queensland sugar
fields.
The contract is for three years. They
are then returned to their homes or
are at liberty to remain for another
three years.
OF course the wages paid these men
are infinitesimal compared with what
white laborers would receive. but it
seems sufficient to them. Their wants
are few In their native land a wan

people decide they don't want them,
it's their fault and not ours. Let
us place in nomination a ticket that
will appeal to good democracy and all
people of the state. Let us not throw
out any delegations entitled to seats
here. So today let us make a choice
of men able to carry out the business
OF their offices honestly, and in the
interests OF all the people, and no one
faction"
John E. Stryker was first recognized
by the chair and in brief eulogistic
address, nominated Captain w. 81.
Harries, of Caledonia for permanent
chairman. There were no other nomi-
nations and Captain Harries was
nominated by reclamation. Mr..
Stryker, j. R. Corrigan of Mime
apolis and T. T. Hudson of Duluth
acted as a committee to escort Cap
tain Harries to the chair. Captain
Harries was received with much ap-
plause as he stepped on the stage.
Recess was taken until $3.50 p m.
At 1858 this afternoon the demo-
cratic state convention succeeded in
nominating a candidate for governor.
w. S. Hammond of st. James, in a
short, eloquent address, presented the
name of John A. Johnson of St. Peter
as a candidate for the party, the
speaker characterizing him as a man
whose party loyalty had never been
questioned, who had been faithful in
office, whose character and reputation
are white and clean.
The nomination was received with
great enthusiasm. Delegates rose in
their seats, cheering and raising their
hats in their enthusiasm. Seconding
speeches were made by Frank Brady
of Hennepin county, T. ]. McDermot,
St. Paul, and Martin Hughes of Hib-
bling.
John A. johnson is the first candi-
date for the Office of governor of Min.
nesota who was born in the state.
A committee, consisting of L. A.
Rosing, Cannon Falls, Aid. L. Rand OF
Minneapolis, and C. D. O'Brien of St.
Paul, was appointed to wait upon Mr..
johnson and bring him before the
convention, after the nomination had
been made by acclamation.
After the cheering for Mr.. johnson
had subsidized, Judge J. R. Corrigan
of Minneapolis placed tue name of
F. G. Winston of Minneapolis, the
nominees for lieutenant governor, be-
fore the convention. He SAID that Mr..
Winston was not only known in Min
nesota, but throughout the northwest.
he was respected by business and
laboring men alike.
Mr.. Winston was nominated unani-
mously and with as great show of
enthusiasm as the candidate for GOV
ernor.
Before Mr.. Winston's nomination
had been acted upon, John A. John
son was ushered into the hall by the
special reception committee. His en-
trance was the signal for an outburst
of long and prolonged fury.
John E. King of Red Lake Falls was
placed in nomination for secretary of
state by T. D.. O'Brien of St. Paul, and
on motion of a delegate from Mower

was made unanimous Lars M. Pond

Hja]mar Granting, editor of Social
demokraten and the foremost Social

posed national strike as means of
compelling the riksdag to pass gen.

have already passed votes of censure
against Mr.. Branting, and the senti-

resolutions.
The farmers in the vicinity of Kla-

A young man and young woman

One day there was hitch, and one

received from the other party and
nail them up on walls, telegraph
posts and other conspicuous objects.
AS soon as the second party saw this
display, up went the letters written
by the first party to the second
party; and if the citizens of Ramvik
did not know the art Of writing love-
letters before this event they know
it now.

FINLAND.

Helsingfors, Aug. 30.-The press of
Finland is pleased with the imperial
decree convoking the landtdag. The
press also attributes great Importance
to the utterances of the new governor
general, Prince Obolensky, who stated
repeatedly on his tour of inspection
that the car does not intend to de-
prive Finland of her liberty.
Numerous floral tributes are placed
from time to time on the grave of the
mother of Eugen Schauman, the as
sassin of Governor Bobrikoff. Some of
them are furnished with touching in
scriptions in Finnish or Swedish. The
flowers are removed by the police at
the earliest opportunity.
An imperial decree has been issued
summoning the estates of Finland to
meet in ordinary session at Helsing-
fors, Dec. next. Under the same de-
cree the next meeting of the Finnish
diet will be held in 1907. The Finnish
constitution provides for national
parliament, consisting of four estates,
the mobiles, the clergy, the burghers
and the peasants. The estates are
convoked by the car of Russia, who is
grand duke of Finland.
P. Won Gerich, of St. Petersburg, has
published book on "The Conquest of
Finland" in the Russian language.
But it is really an epitome of a great
work on that subject by the general
staff of Sweden, though no credit is

The Ball Glanced.

A peculiar and probably fatal acei-
dent occurred on a farm dear Louis
vile. VIM. Karsten, thresher, was
shot in the pupil of his right eye with
a 22-caliber bullet, which lodged so
near his brain that an operation can
not be performed without causing his
death.
George Gronewald, bright boy OF
IL, was shooting at some ducks on q
pond by which the threshing outfit
was passing. The belief is that the
bullet glanced from the water and
struck Mr.. Karsten, who was about q
block away.
Mr.. Karsten is now in hospital al
