are considered the more ordinary forms of labor in parliament, 1t
was found necessary to pay such men from the union funds. The
English unions are, as a rule, prosperous and powerful and it is dit
-lcut to understand what real objection there can be to the use OF
union funds 70. the support of workmen as members OF parliament.
Government exists for practical purposes and the theory which
once obtained that parliamentary representation being for all classes
II 5 wrong to elect men pledged to support the interests of a special
class has lost its force and meaning everywhere save in the courts
OF England. Men Of education might make sufficient money in the
profession of the law and journalism, the rents of the landlords so
on whether they are doing service in the house or not, and the profits
OF the marts controlled by members OF the house do not fall off
whether the merchants are about every hour or not, but all the
ordinary laboring man can do must be done within certain hours and
il his parliamentary duties require his time nights the physical ability
TO do day work is much lcssened.
Some able men who have done and are still doing good work for
labor sit in the English parliament. Such a one is John Burns, now
on a visit to this country, and it would seem a very hard thing to
say that ii is against public policy for the labor unions to pay men
and its labor.

NOTICE BUSINESS MEN.
St. Paul, June q, 1905.

st. raul, June Il, l5UO.
Dear Sir:
1t has come to the notice of this
department that during past years
there have been operating within the
borders of this state, agents of non
taxpaying, nonresident firms, who by
their methods have undermined the
business of the legitimate merchants
1t frequently happens that these
agents, commonly called "box-car
merchants are, in the habit OF
swindling and poisoning the public
with their short weight and adulterated
food-stuffs. In order that the con-
sumner may have better protection from
this class of merchants, Legislation
on this subject was secured at the
recent session, in what is known as
the Lauritsen Law, giving the State
Dairy and Food Department increased
powers to act.
That this department may be more
efficient in the enforcement of these
laws, we ask of the merchants of Min
nesota their hearty cooperation. We
suggest that in the various cities and
villages throughout the state there be
appointed committees, whose duties it
will be to notify this department OF
the day on which the "box-car
merchant is expected to deliver his
goods. Upon the receipt of message,
we will Immediately send an inspector
to investigate and prosecute.
In union there is strength; with
your assistance we can give the public
and the business interests of your
town and this state greater protection
Kindly bring this matter to the at
ention of your business mems as
ISOLATION, and if you have no such
organization, to the business men
who are interested in the welfare oil
your community.
Very truly yours,

cratic votes but if all republicans had
stood by the nominee they would not
have needed them. The county of
Stevens in which Mr.. McElroy pub
fishes his paper, is now and ever since
we knew anything about the county
was republican. Yet there never was
a time when there was not one or more
democratic officials in the county
simply because the democrats were
loyal to their candidates and the re-
publicans were not. There are four
states in the union that are republican
yet they have democratic governors.
There are II ongressional districts
and more than seventy judicial dis
tricts that are in the same condition,
yet we do not know of a single demo-
cratic state, congressional district, or
judicial district where this condition
of things is reversed.
1t is true we were elected to congress
by democratic votes, but we were not
running against democrat and the
democrats that voted for us preferred
republican to a populist. This trait
of party loyalty in our judgment in
stead of being discreditable is highly
cOmmendable. 1t is common sense.
If men believe that the policies of the
republican party are the best for the
nation or the state the only way they
can put them in force is to vote for
republican candidates. If they believe
in democracy they should vote for
democrats. Republican officials will
never carry out democratic policies or
democrats republican ones. Every
political reform was first inaugurated
and put in force by the official action
of some political party. Indepen-
dents, non-partisans, citizens reform
clubs are a delusion and snare.
They are chimerical rainbow chasers,
dreamers of dreams, ignis fatuus
hunters, who lose themselves in the
mazes of speculative swamps. This
government is a partisan government;
you cannot make anything else out of
it if you try. 1t is a government of
political parties.
If any loyal democrat will write to
US or state to us that we have
"slandered, "insulted, or "slurred"
him by stating that he did not have to
be "urged, coaxed or cajoled" to vote
the democratic ticket we will take off
our hat to him in abject apology but
we will lose the profound respect that
we have always felt for democrats "as
foemen worth our steel'' if we are
called upon to make the apology.
