ARGUED AT THE FEAST
DEMOCRATIC BANQUET DEVELOPS
SOME DIFFERENCES OF OPINION
AMONG THE ORATORS.

Wherever there are two or three
democrats gathered together, there is
apt to be an argument Attic there
were only about forty present at the
Jefferson club banquet last evening at
the N1collet, the speaking program
brought out some differences of opin-
ion, and something of an argument de-
veloped between Frank D. Larrabee
and j. C. Haynes, former mayor, on the
electric light franchise granted last
year. Mr.. Larrabee said he had op-
posed the granting of the franchise, be-
lleying it to be undemocratic, and vet
all the democrats in the council worked
for it and the democratic mayer signed
it. Mr.. Haynes defended the franchise,
dec laring. that it was a step toward
municipal ownership, and that it had
the backing Of practically all the dem
ocrats in the city.
j. R. Corrigan pleaded for radical
principles in the party. He said:
Roosevelt and others are trying to
make the. republican party the radical
party, but they can no more do it than
Cleveland can make the democratic
party the conservative party
William A. Reed, a democratic edi.
tor from Oelwein, Iowa, spoke on the
democratic press, and said that in Min
nesota and Iowa the ratio Of democratic
papers was much lower than the ratio
of democratic voters. If democrats
would support their papers, they would
be more numerous and prosperous. AL
bert Dollenmaver, Alderman Wilhelm
! Petersen, A. L. Sorter, Jr, and A. T.
Lennon spoke during the evening. DR.

The Status of the Clerk.

DIR. Francis L. Patton Of the Prince
ton school Of divinity denies that he
had Rockefeller in mind when he spoke
of cold blooded rascal with $4,000
1000 year, or that he meant to imply
that all rich men are bad, stingy, close
and unfeeing. He approves Of Andrew
Carnegie in various ways and especially
commends him as man Of peace.
DR.. Patton's principal grievance
against the rich is that they no longer
take any care of or interest in their
employees Of the non-union class. The
union laborer, DR.. Patton believes. new
er was better off in his life; he is in
trenched behind the union and the
union scale. But he finds the condition
Of the clerk and employee receiving
from 81 200 to $4,000 year in pre-
carious state. His employer has grown
away from him. He has to live with a
pretense of higher civilization and his
efforts to make both ends meet are pa.
thetic. This is the man DR.. Patton
would see helped rather than big insti
tutions. The benefit would be direct
and practical.
There is considerable in DR.. Patton Is
picture of the lonesomeness Of the man
whose employment is rather above the
labor-union grade and who is now sc
much more out Of touch with his EN-
ployer than he was ten or fifteen years
ago. He is chasing the ignis fatuus Of
stylish living on an income that pro
vides barely for the necessaries Of life
He does not see the gulf that has wild
ened between him and the employee,
and he is quite likely to tumble int
it. These men are the men who make
the business go. They are the men wht
work the long hours when business
PUSHES, who take the weight of the re
sponsibility for the routine Of the con
Germ and who by their loyalty, thei
enthusiasm and their contribution O.
brains outside of their routine .dutie
help to keep it at the front. DR.. Pat
ton g idea seems to be that they shout,
have the direct counsel, assistance an,
good will of the. employer. But wher
the employer has disappeared in a trus
it is pretty difficult to find him. I
, board of directors is very differen
from an individual.

The July Housekeeper contains the
first of an interesting series written by
Marian Bonsall, a young woman Of
Minneapolis, and associate editor Of
the magazine, telling of her personal
experiences in Investigating the wom-
an s side Of the Mormon question at
first hand. Living among the Nor
mons in rural Utah, Miss BonsaI soon
discovered that polygamy is not OILY
still upheld as religious principle by
the members of the church, but is
practiced. During a conversation with
Mormon girl, Miss Bonsall asked her
if frankly, and truly in her inmost
soul, she was not glad that it was not
required of her that she be a plural
wife. The girl answered thoughtful
ly, no, that she thought the Mormon
women of today were losing something
that their mothers and their grand
mothers enjoyed. Marriage to her
she said, would seem one-sided af
fair without but one wife. She coulc
not imagine the happiness Of child
hood, or the full enjoyment of girl anc
womanhood without the companionshil
and love Of the children Of the Other
wife in her family. Her one conces
sion was that she would little prefer
to be the first wife.
This slight preference is one of thu
little wedges that may help sustain
the law against polygamy.

VISITED 81OO0-ACRE FARM
Minneapolis Man Attended Great Fes-
tivities at emo. 1912 in Oklahoma.

Howard Commons of the Chamber of
Commerce returned this morning from
trip. to the. famous Oklahoma ranch
No. I01, having gone down to Bliss,
Okla, on the Kansas City special train
bearing 200 editors, millers and gram
trade men. The ranch No. 101, owned
by Miller brothers, is the largest diver
sifed farm in the United States,' en-
bracing $1,000 acres. The convention
of the National Federation of Millers
at Kansas City, which was attended
by many from Minneapolis and the
northwest, made the run to the ranch
in time to Join the festivities that were
on a scale surprising anything ever
heard of.
The Santa Fe road ran thirty-two
special trains to the ranch, and when
| the program, which was typical west
ern performance of horsemanship and
cowboy life, began, there were about
$4,000 people lined up to see it. No
permanent buildings were in sight, and
the show was put on in beautiful
valley affording a natural amphlthea-
ter, on one side of which was con-
structed a temporary grand stand one
| and a quarter miles long.
The hospitality of the southwest, Mr..
| Commons says, was on scale OF sur
passing magnitude. The 200 men on
| the Kansas City special were enter
tanned at luncheon by the Messrs. Mil
Ter Immediately upon arrival and We're
| the recipients of much personal atten-
| ton during their stay.

A Hero Gone.

The death of Colonel William Colvill
upon the morning when he was to Join
his old regiment, the First Minnesota,
in a reunion, removes from this earth s
$activities a man who played great
fpart in the history Of his country, for
he it was who commanded the First
minnesota on that Hateful morning
when, on the field of Gettysburg, Han
cock called upon it for the charge which
~immortalized it and set a new mark
in the history of losses on the battle
afeld. The circumstances of the charge
@are familiar to all. The Union and Con-
o,federate troops stood lined up in their
positions with slope Of ground be-
tween them of evident advantage to
hold. The rebels were advancing upon
it in force when General Hancock rode
up with single aide and called out,
!" What regiment is this?" "First
gMinnesota,' returned Colonel ColviH
who was at their head. "Charge those
troops!'' shouted Hancock, pointing at
the oncoming Confelerates. Without
a moments hesitation the Minnesota
regiment, handful of 262 men, charged
the whole rebel army. The fire with
which it was received was terrible, anC
inside of a few minutes 215 of the
whole number were down with wounds
But the rebels had borne back from
Fthe terrible bayonet charge with which

was to stop the rebels until reinforce

1 The annals of war contain no par

oder, like the command to the Ligh
SBrigade, but deliberate order DELHI
kerately obeyed, and while it was ter
sribly expensive, it was worth all

agreement of the masters. Last night a
new proposition by the journeymen was
submitted to the masters association,
and was turned down hard. This action
of the masters was strengthened by the
action Of the Citizens alliance in urg-
ing the continuance of the fight More
over, the masters say that they were
never getting along better and that,
having won the fight, it would be folly
for them to accept any proposal COM

Since the strike began on April /, the
forty-fve masters who formed tenn
porary organization to fight the de-
mands of the union have stood pat on
every proposition. Desertions of the
smaller dealers with little capital were
feared, but so far every man has stood
firm. The big contractors with larger
means have helped the small ones hold
their own. Hence the masters have the
situation well in hand.
