One Shouted dire"

Long before the time appointed for
the distribution of the tickets the
stairs of the Masonic temple were
crowded with a pushing, yelling crowd
of n3wsboys. When the distribution
began, the excitement became more in
tense and the efforts of several police
men, who had been detailed to prevent
trouble, were unavailing. 1t is alleged
by witness that one of the boys, In
an endeayor to hasten the exit of those
who had received their passes, shout
cd fire" Immediately those at the
Top faced about and with almost su-
perhuman strength began to force
their way to the bottom of the stairs.
Shreks and physical encounters fol
lowed for few seconds, when from
some cause. those near the top fell
headlong upon the struggling mass at
the bottom.
Immediately policemen from the
central station who responded to a
riot call began the work of rescue.
Four boys were dead when eXtricated
from their position at the bottom of
the stairs. Others believed to have
been fatally crushed were taken out
as fast as they could be disentangled
from their frenzied companions, who
fought and chung to each other in des-
leration.
Parents Fight for Children.
Mothers, fathers and relatives OF
the boys hocked to the place and fran
tic with grief forced their way into
he dense crowd. With the aid of at
least so police, doctors, lodge mem
bcrs and other rescuers, it required
fully three-qu&rtes of an hour to re-
move the lads to conveyances which
carried them home or to hospitals
Relatives who did not reach the hall
before the boys were taken away
swarmcd to the different hospitals and
ispensaries and men had to be sta
toned at these institutions to keep
the crowd from breaking into the
rooms where the lads were being
cared for.
After the injured had been taken
from the scene and the crowd had left
the sidewalk. the sight presented by
the stairway and walk in front of the
door and in the upper hallway was
grewsome in the extreme. Blood
trickled down the steps and frag-
ments of clothing and flesh were
strewn here and there.
The catastrophe evidently had little
effect on about 400 of the ''newsies,'
who instead of returning home to re-
lieve the minds Of anxious parent

THE ORIGIN OF LIFE.

From the Now York Times:
Experts in biology will be apt to re-
ceive with some scepticism the an
nouncement Of DR.. Jacques Loeb Of
the University Of California as to the
creation of life by chemical agencies.
The difficulty Of accepting his conclu-
sions will be chiefly In the fact that
there are a great many sources Of life
in living organisms. and that his re-
suits may be due to the normal and
orderly action of these quickening In
huences upon germs ready to develop
rather than to the chemical agencies
to which he has attributed them. Dr.
Loeb Is very bright and ingenious
experimenter, but consensus Of opin-
ion among biologists would show that
he is rated rather as a man Of lively
imagination than an inerrant investi-
gator Of natural phenomena. A very
similar announcement as the result Of
experiments with the ova of the sea
urchin was made by him some years
ago-about six, we believe-but other
experiments have since been unable
to verify them. There are many species
of living organisms the eggs Of which
are hatchable without fertilization. 1t
may be DR.. Loeb has found that the
list of these is increased by one, which
is interesting but not specially import
ant, and will not revolutionize our
concepts of the origin of life.

GERMAN CUSTOMS.

From the Detroit Free Press:
In the little villages Of Silesia, among
the mountains and forests Of Eastern
Germany and Austria, some Of the oldest
and prettiest Of the Easter customs are
observed. AS the day approaches, the
dark old market squares blossom out
suddenly with MAY trees These are
twigs cut by the boys from the willow
trees, and painted in bright colors and
trimmed with flowers by the women.
Booths are covered with them. Every
market woman has bunch to sell.
They wreathe tho strings Of sausages and
stand boldly aloft from the bootlegs IN
the shoe stores. Every passer by carries
the passer-by to buy a May tree.

WHAT'S WRONG WITH PROF.
GTTPTN7

What kind of man is this Prof.
Gilpin, county superintendent of
schools? We fear his criticism Of
the free text book system may be
taken as authoritative in some quar-
tiers because of his position.
There may be errors in the regu-
lation of the free text book system,
but there is absolutely no ground for
criticism on the merits Of the sys-
tenn.
We understand Prof. Gilpin to
have said that free text books will
do away with home study. Why
should they prevent home study?
There is one of two plans open for
any school district. The children
should either be permitted to carry
their books home with them, or those
who desire should be given the priv
ilege of purchasing them at cost.
No one can get away from either
one of these plans. Some one says
that there are sanitary objections to
free text books going into the homes.
There is little reason for this, as each
pupil is given one book for the term.
At the end of every term books should
be thoroughly disinfected, no mat
ter who may use them.
Unless provisions are made for
freer use of the text books the sys-
tenn will result in failure.
The labor organizations were
among the first advocates of the free
text book system. They still hold
that the idea is good, and for evil
dence point to the school districts
that have already adopted the sys-
TEN. But few complaints have been
heard about the system in the Du-
luth public schools, and the snap
judgment Of such a novice as Prof.
Gilpin will not be accepted without
challenge.
Free text books are given in order
that the poor may have the fullest
use of our public school system. We
want no barrier to that system. No
man should be put in charge of any
of our schools who is unfriendly to
the system. If there are errors in
the regulation of the system they
should be corrected at the earliest
moment, and they will be unless

1t Is possible for the laboring ele-
ment to accomplish more real good in
the upbuilding Of home industries than
any other class Of citizens. Many of
our retail dealers are too prone to
practices Of substitution with regard
to staple commodities, but the maiori-
ty Of our laboring classes are an in

DEATH OF EDWARD MAERE.

ON]AA1A Vt ELL" AMI MAENG.
The readers of the Labor World,
and the majority Of the active men,
bers Of organized labor in this city
were deeply affected this week be-
cause of the sudden death of Edward
Maere, former president of the Pain
ters' union and for many years one
OF the most conspicuous figures in
the local labor movement.
Mr.. Maere's death is a loss to ev-
cry labor organization in the city.
The Painters union may have claim
ed him as member, but his great
heart beat in sympathy for all labor
organizations. He was one of the
first members of labor organization
in Duluth to recognize that the aboli-
tion of craft jealousies and enmities
was necessary to insure the success
of the labor movement. He labored
to this end until the day of his death.
1t has been said OF some notable
character In American history that he
was "Citizen of the World Broad
ly speaking, Edward Maere in the
labor movement was a recognized
member of the great labor class. in
all that the term implies. It was
poor consolation for him to see his
trade making splendid advances from
year to year, largely through his I'M
firing efforts, and at the same time
noting the misery and want that con-
tinued to abound among other class
es of workingmen less fortunate than
the painters.
His nfo dream had been to see a
complete solidarity Of labor. Other
men better known than Mr.. Maere
may have more credit for their work
in behalf of this idea, but few work.
ed for 1t more earnestly and sincerely
than he. So we say the local labor
movement lost heavily by the death
Of Edward Maere. He was a grow
ing man. He entered the labor move
ment with a number of good ideas,
but with limited experience. His
position in the movement brought
him in touch with men from every
walk In life. Gradually he began to
broaden out, and just as he was about
to be the most use to his fellowmen

Farewell, Brother Maere! This

it brighter for others. Yours was

interested. May the labor movement

T. No man ever advocated an open shop
but with hope Of thus disrupting
des-union, and took this course
rather than openly fight the organiza-

cious argument of tricksters and try
to run a open shop fairly. If they
have ever investigated the system they
have found it only a source of revenue
