EDWARD R|bENACH HAS
STRONG LEAD IN FIFTH
Ward Voters Are Strongly in
His Favor for Election as
Alderman.
Something of the Character
and Ability of the Demo- T.
cratic Candidate.

Mr.. Edward Ribenack, the Demo-
cratic candidate for alderman in the
Fifth ward bids fair to be the success.
full candidate at the polls at the COM
ing municipal election. He is making
phenomenal campaign. Hundreds of
Republicans in the ward have assured
him of their support and the Demo-
cratic party is solidly united in his IA
vor. 1t looks like Ribenach without a.
question, and why should it not be?
Mr.. Ribenach is one of the staunch-
est business men in the city, He has
his money invested in the ward, and
to him more than any person else can
be given the credit for Transforming
the so-called Bowery into business
block of no small proportions. The
erection of the large hotel on the corn
er of Sixth avenue West and Superior
street indicates that Mr. Ribenack has
faith in the ultimate success OF that
locality as a thriving business locality.
Personally Mr.. Ribenach is of an af-
fable disposition, courteous in manner
and exemplary in his habits. He has
some sound ideas on municipal govern
ment which will be of immense value
to him in the common council AS a
citizen and business man Mr.. Ribenach
commands the respect and confidence
Of all with whom he comes in con-
tact
The voters in the fifth ward can do
no better than elect Mr.. Ribenach to
represent them in the council.

DULUTH HEIGHTS MUST
SAVE THE DAY ON BOND ISSUE

Developments Of the past few days
indicate that there is considerable OPP
position arising to the proposed issue
Of bonds to be voted for by the people
on February 7th The opponents Of
this suburb and Of municipal owner
ship are uniting to prevent the extern
ton of our water and light system
They pretend that the city is over
bonded, but an article on" the first page
of this edition, and an editorial on page
five will convince any unbiased reader
that the arguments Of our opponents
are not based upon fact. If the people
Of Duluth Heights will but get en-
Unused on the bond proposition they
can exert powerful influence down
town. Now is the time for every good
citizen to come to the relief of his home
locality.

WHO BISHOP TALBOT IS
He OPPOSED THE MINERS
Sanctimonious Old Gentleman
Now on Trial For Behavi-
Gus Unbecoming.
A Preacher of the Gospel Was
Retained by Mine Owners
Association.

New York, aJnuary 26.-The New
York Worker in this weeks edition
calls attention to the fact that that
sanctimonious old gentleman, DR..
Ethelbert Talbot, bishop of the Epis-
copal Church in Central Pennsylvania,
who is now facing a trial by his &C.
clesiastic peers on charges of lying,
defamation Of character and other
conduct unbecoming a bishop, is the
same Talbot who distinguished himself
two years ago by his defense of the
anthracite mine operators. The entire
anthracite region Of Pennsylvania is
within his diocese and the least OBJ
servatio1 on his part must have ac-
quainted him with the wretched con-
dition of the miners and the CALLING ex-
ploitation which produced the strike.
But the good bishop is a servile re-
tainer. To him the mine operators are
the men Ito whom God, in his infinite
wisdom had Entrusted the property
interests of that part Of Pennsylvania;
and any attempt by a labor union to
declare the conditions under which
it's members shall work is an attempt
ITO run the business of the employer"
In. signed statement given to the
press on Sept. ~, 1902, he delivered
himself of the following chunks Of re-
tainer morality and wisdom:
I'm considering the whole situation
justice as well as mercy demands that
we bear in mind certain facts. In the
the first place, the striking miners
precipitated the crisis and went out
when no real grievances existed which
could not have been adjusted peace
ably"
It is now in order for the miners to
issue statement to the public ex-
pressing their opinions about Talbot.

FOR FREE W0RK|NCMEN
DELEGATES to Convention Hear
ing Of Operators Presence
Invite Them.
Strategy Worked by Operators
to Inspire Enthusiasm in
Organization.

indianapolis, Ind, Jan. 26.-In a let
ter TO the printers of America James
M. Lynch. president Of the I. T. U.
gives his ideas on the union shop and
membership in labor organizations as
follows:
"Considered as a body, the only freq
wage earners today are those who hold
union membership. The rest have as
class Or individually absolutely moth
ing to say in the disposition Of the only
commodity they have for sale-labor.
1t is we'll enough for the anti-uhionist
to Stout freedom of contract. But is
there any freedom of contract for the
Individual? Is it not a. fact that it is
the purchaser who sets the price, and
that that price is arbitrary, final, brutal
in it's conception, selfish In its appli-
cation:
Work made a prize for the needy,
dangled before their wants, in order
that traffic may be made in misery,
and a job knocked down to the lowest
bidder Is it not better that a wage
carrier should pool his labor, and then
sell it through the collective method,
rather than that labor should be made
the sport of the man that can buy.
The cry against the closed shop is
raised because it involves a feature
of trade union polity difficult for the
inexperienced to grasp ,analyze and
understand. Employers believe if the
open shop can be established there
will be speedy end to trades unionism.
'The International Typographical
Union has gone through it all. It
knows the value of the closed shop. It
realizes the necessity of collective bar
gaining. AS soon as the reasons un-
DERIVING the demand for the union
office are more generally understood,
the critics will, without doubt, make
their attacks in another direction.
Let the criticism come. It all adj
Vertises trades unionism.
And in the meantime we will con-
tinue to organize the printers and
uniOnize Offices

WHERE THE CAR ERRED.

From the Springfield, Mass, Republic
an:
The cars government made a mis-
take, according to our democratic west
ern way of looking at things, in issu-
ing a warning against further popular
agitation of political questions at the
same time that it made public the re-
form ukase. The government should
have trusted the concessions in the i'm
perial decree to quiet the agitation or
to rob the agitation 0 fany dangerous
features. The autocratic habit, how
ever, had to assert itself after so much
compromising with the reform spirit,
and the foolish warning against fur
Their agitation was the result.
