TRADE UNION BANKS.

one of the latest phases of unionism
is the proposition to establish union
banks in large industrial centers.
There is no doubt that the treasures of
labor organizations would furnish a
sum sufficient to establish good
working capital for many substantial
banks, and, augmented by the savings
OF members, very successful loan and
exchange business could be conducted.
Proper care should, of course, be taken
in selecting the right kind of men TO
take charge, but let no man saw that
organized labor cannot supply men
competent for the work.. The boss

UNIONS OF LABOR ARE BEST.

It is to the organization Of labor and
not of capital that one must look for
Improvement in wages. There are
rare individual instances of the recog-
nizng Of the economic advantages of
high wages by the brains behind or
gained capital, but as a matter of
history labor has struggled in nearly
every instance where it has obtained
better wages. and the most effective
instrument in the struggle has been
the trades union. The advantages of
high wages are manifold, not only to
the man who receives them, but to the
commercial world at large The more
the masses earn the more they will
consume, and the more they consume
the better it is for the merchant and
manufacturer, the farmer and mine
owner. the butcher and baker. and
everybody else. Prosperity does not
depend upon the few rich who can eat
only one meal, wear one suit of clothes,
smoke one cigar or live in one house at
time. On the other hand, the more
the masses earn the more they will
spend for better living, better clothing
and better everything. Well paid
masses make prosperity, and the union
men and women make we'll paid
masses.

1t comes to the filling Of subordinate
positions. For the next year at least,
almost every department including the
council will be strongly against DR..
Cullum. 1T will be a. year. before his
friends will have control Of any OF the
departments. This being true, but few
changes can be made during the year
1904.
The political guessers are out in
great numbers. Here is their slate so
far as they have attempted to guess:
City Attorney, Bert Fesler; asst City
Attorney, T. J. McKeon; Chief Of
Police c. H. Troyer and City Engin-
eer. Thos. McGl1vray. A large number
OF Democrats throughout the city wish
to see Alderman Sang on the Board of

Noble Sampson as sealer Of weights

ever, is. by no means secure. It is
whispered around that some of the
aldermen elect are not thoroughly sat-
1sf1ed with the affairs of this office, so
lively party scrap may be expected.
City Clerk Cheadle has been a very
efficient officer, but that doesn't us
ually count in party politics. Some
Republicans have it in their crop that
Cheadle must go, but as that gentle
man has squeezed out Of some very

and his nomination is not improbable.
Mayor Hugo will be IN uncertain

HOW WOMAN CAN AID,

The wives, daughters and mothers
of the union men of the country
should help their husbands, brothers
and fathers to win their battles against
We often hear the women say that
they will trade where they please, so
long as they can get the articles they
desire, cheapest. No matter if they
have to go into an unfair place of
business, so long as they think they
arc getting the articles cheaper, they
will continue to do so. This is a, great
mistake on the part Of the lady pur-
chascrs. It is the union houses that
are giving support to your husband,
your father and your brothers, and it
is the union houses you should sup
port. Men cannot expect to make a
success of the labor movement if they
permit Their money to be spent in
places Of business that are unfair to
the union or some branch or organiza-
ton. Let the wives, mothers and
daughters of the union men try the
idea of calling for the union label at
all times and occasions, patronize no
store that is on the Unfair List, and we
will soon be successful in bringing the
bad ones to time, compelling them to
pay living wages to their employees and
closing at reasonable hours.

The local Republican politicians
have some hope that the convention

will be held in Duluth. Mayor Hugo

had it for years, but just now that

does not want it, SO it's delegation

some recognition from the Republican
party. For the past thirty years it
has been sending down comfortable
majorities for the party, and it has
never got anything in return, Every

The city commissioner district, con-
sisting Of the Third, Fourth and Fifth
wards, will be the scene of a hot con-
test this fall. The present incumbent
is Edward Patterson. The Democrats
rather believe that the right kind Of a
man can be elected in this district.
About the strongest Democrat in the
District is Joseph Mannheim, who re-
tires from the Council this month with
a clean and envious record. It is be-
lieved that Mr.. Mannheim is just the
man to trot out against Patterson.

the disappointed ones. It is to be ex-

Ames Should Have Justice,

From the Albert Lea Tribune:
The decision Of the supreme court in
favor of former Mayor Ames Of Min
neapolis will surprise many and dis
gust others, but the broken down old
man should have justice melted out to
him regardless of his guilt or inno-
cence. While the decision regarding
the indictment is largely technical the
part relating to the want of evidence
to sustain verdict is serious and NAV
prove difficult to overcome. Of course
the friends of Ames are jubilant but it
is hoped the disgraced doctor will not
celebrate his victory by the wild orgies
and excuses he INDUCED in before
and to such an extent as to cause some
to seriously question his sanity. The
decision may mean that he will never
again be called upon to face jury in
the municipal corruption cases that be-
came so famous throughout the coun-
try.
