Labor Day.

Gov. John l.. Johnson has: eaesigz
mated Monday, September,*4,f as;
Labor Day, issuing the following
proclamation for it's observance:
labor is the basis of all
wealth and prosperity. In the COM
munity of interests, so essential to
our we'll being and our PROGRESS,
the relation of the employer and
employe should not be strained.
Between capital and labor there
should be no difference. Labor,
seldom asking more, should always
be given fair chance. In all prob
lens involving any. difference be,
tween capital and labor there
should not only be a just federation,
but wise and patriotic considera-
alton. In this day let there not
only be the healthful recreation of
holiday, but discussion of prob
lens looking toward a settlement
of differences, the realiza ton of the
true dignity of labor and the es-
tablishment of all industry on the
basis of equal rights to every citi-
zen. Let full cooperation follow,
and in the enjoyment of this day
let the central thought be the up
building of the state and the nation
and the elevation of the citizens to
the highest possible Standard.
IF THOSE people of the north part
of the state who are working over
time in pushing the state drainage
project would devote a little of
their energy to establishing good
roads to the north.country this Sec
ton of Minnesota would be far bet
ter off. The drainage proposition
is all right in its place but the
North country demands good
| roads.

beauty contest on and the FIVE
most beautiful young women in at
tendance at the big summer resorts
this season are each to receive a
riding pony all saddled and bridled
as prize for the distinction en-
fjoyed by the lucky contestants. The
winners will be picked by Judges,
from the photographs sent in by
the young women who enter the
contest. A few of the photogra phss
were run in the Sunday American
and judging from the appearance of
same one would be forced to the
conclusion that they all suffered
from injured eye sight caused by
over-working their lamps in looking
through the thick drug store COM
position that they have put on to
deceive the judges. If Willie Hearst
wants to see the real thing in beauti-
full women he wants to come is Vir-

Mining Lease Litigation.

Complications are arising in the

lease, in which Attorney General s.

Smith, of Superior, Wisconsin, who
claims to have applied for the lease
before it was granted to Mabel

ney General Young of an appeal
from the order of Judge Dibell, of
St. Louis county, denying permis-

possible that the district court of
St. Louis county will grant stay of
proceedings in the original suit,

may act on the appeal Of Smith be-
fore the case goes to trial at Du-
luth. II am not convinced yet
whether the appeal of Smith will
necessitate postponement of the
case at Duluth" said Attorney Gen.
eral Young. "There is some doubt
as to whether the order of Judge
Dibell is appealab]e. If it is not
appealable, the supreme court will
dismiss the case" Smith asked
leave to intervene on the ground
that the mineral lease should have
been issued to him instead of to
Mabel Evans. If the court allowed
him to intervene, he would be in
the attitude of person suing the
state, and under the constitution of
the United States state cannot be
sued without its consent. For this
reason Judge Dibell denied the ap-
plication for permission to inter

According to their story they have been

Delevan corner Yesterday they say they
saw two Of the men whom they had been
watching go into the hotel and they followed
them TO a room on the first floor. The

waited around. Other men went into the
same room in sufficient numbers to satisfy
the detectives that there was something
doing in the pooroom way.

TO force their way in. They got in all right
and found about twelve men in the room.
They all looked like very bad gamblers
the raiders report. Six Of the twelve we're
picked out as looking more like gamblers
than the others, and these six were informed
that they were prisoners, The rest were
allowed to go, and they retreated IN some
disorder
The raiders drew their revolvers as soon
as they kicked in the door, but they never
met meeker lot of men than the twelve
that confronted them. Not a soul made
any protest ut being arrested; not one OF
them cared TO run chances with loaded
revolvers in the hands OF excited cops
SO much noise had been made in kicking
down the door that a crowd gathered IN the
street. In very short time Fortieth
street on the short block between Broadway
and Seventh avenue was black with people
The crowd heard that some one had been
shot in the hotel When they learned 1t
was only little raid, most Of the curious
slipped away.
