other-as he did at the festivity-too
dangerous to be allowed to preach in
his church, is there then any wonder

dangerous. Glad to say, the religious

That attention paid to the speaker

The Ely Miner, No truth-Jhat is
the chief character Of your article.
To the politics oil Ely we have not
paid any attention neither with a
word neither with a footsteps.
Then the revolution of business.
'.This isa free country you know
and you tell it US. Every man or mass
of men ought to have the right to
make trade and business with whom
they like. We agree with you and on
the base of this fundamental principle
of freedom we are organizing our
selves and our friends to a con-
sumer's organization Ia order to
secure some certain advantages for
producers, including dealers. This is
now quite criminal resolution ac-
cording to your article. You have
nothing to say If saw mill companies
compel their laborers to buy in COM
pany stores or If mining companies
hire doctors for their workmen, COM
pelling to go othem, but if we human
beings belonging c. the Finnish nat
ionalitg ii tlle p9pQlation of the u.
s. a from ot5fffee viii unite to use
business as we like, t5ea you cannot
find enough words and lies to arouse
people against us. The hea ling Of
the list for the names of the body Of
consumers is as follows: "We the
undersigned join into the body of
consumers organized by the Ely
Socialist association agreeing during
the months of December, January
and February to use ourselves and to
recommend to others exclusively the
following businesses"-the these
enumerated.
Is here promised anything more
than to use and to recommend GER
tain businesses? How can you then
then tell that this paper was a deal
whereby the signers bound them
selves to the sociallstic idea? And
then you try to mislead your readers
by telling that "as soon as the real
aim of the paper was discovered, a
large number had their names taken
out" No truth. There has been no
one who had taken off his name be-
cause he discovered something"
One minister with his wife and five
clerks in store liked to have their
names away for some time because
Finn clerks in other stores had arous-
ed people against this organization
and telling even so rough stories that
the socialists will hang every one not
signing their paper binding to social
ism. Then there was one girl more
whose boarding house keeper COM
PEELED her to take her name out. This
was the large number and the bal
ance still was at that time liz.
We do not know if shameless lies
are slur on Americanism in Ely,
Minr.-ln business life they are not
but we know that We can not tolerate
anything else than truth in socialism.
Yours Fraternally,
The Executive Committee of the
Ely Socialist Association.

ner q memorable occasion among the
many given by this famous club of
Washington correspondents.
"A peace conference composed Of
members of the club endeavored to set
tie disputes between many guests who
were impersonated by members of the
club, but all was unavailing until final
ly q messenger from William 7. Je-
rome of New York with a bottle of
chloroform put them to sleep. The
initiation of three new members af-
forded an opportunity for real roasts.

of the president to cabinet officers re-
lating to the discrimination of news by
them. Three cabinet officers We're i'm

prominent men about the table. One
of them, a parody on a popular air,
was:

COMPLETES HIS CABINET
KING EXPECTED TO RETURN TO
LONDON TODAY
Will Receive the New Premier and

6aIfour Addresses His Constituents
in Manchester
BY Associated Press.

by Associated Press
LONDON, Dec. 9.---Sir Henry Camp
bell Bannerman has completed his
cabinet the king will return to London
tomorrow and receive the Liberal
premier in audience at Buckingham
palace Sunday evening in order to give
his formal approval of the ministry.
Arthur j. Balfour, addressing his
constituents at Manchester this after
noon, declined to discuss the platform
OF the Unionists or Of the Liberals in
the coming election. He defended the
action of the Unionist government in
its retention of office on the ground
that 1t was essential to wait until the
Anglo-Japanese treaty was finally con-
cluded and other essential features of
the government program carried out.
This had been done with the exception
Of the redistribution bill, an outline Of
which had been given to parliament
but divisions within the Unionist party
led the government TO the conclusion
that 1t would be impossible at present
to carry a measure which demanded
absolute unity.
The late premier made strong plea
for unity during the elections. Mr.
Balfour predicted the failure of the
Liberals to carry out their program
which he understood was the upsetting
of many things accomplished by the
Unionists, but he hoped they would
stick to their resolution to follow the
lines of foreign policy of the Unionist
government.
Continuing, Mr.. Balfour referred
briefly to home rule. He. asserted that
whether the Radicals We're ashamed of
it or not, home rulers they were and
home rulers they would remain.
The meeting passed a vote of con-
ndence in Mr.. Balfour.

NEW YORK, Dec 9.--The American
law was upheld today in "a clash with
German authorities over the possession
of Louis Brahm, IL German boy charged
with desertion. Three minutes before
he was to sail as "a prisoner ON the
steamship Amerika for Germany and
twenty-four hours after he had been
given up to German authority by this
government Brahm was taken off the
ship and back under American author
ity again by writ of habeas corpus
from the United States district court
Yesterday the German consul, after a
strenuous effort, had the boy turned
over to him as a deserter from the
steamer Pennsylvania.
Brahm did not desert willingly, his
ship having sailed while he was serv-
ing sentence in an American jail for
disorderly conduct.
United States Marshal Mayhem said
that he served the writ of habeas cor
pus last night, but that the German
authorities were slow in executing it
and that an officer said to him:
What right has anyone to take
man off German boat?'
