Jas Kirwin. member Of the Executive
Board Of the Western Federation Of
Miners came to Duluth Wednesday and
left Immediately for the iron range
where his organization is doing some
work. He will be followed by President

Mr.. Kirwin spent several hours with

he visited this city about one year ago
asking for financial aid for the strik-
ing miners Of Colorado.
Since then Mr.. Kirwin has been ar

never been brought to trial. He says
his prosecutors are not anxious to have
the cases against him aired In court.

DULUTH HEIGHTS. GOSSIP
BRIEF AND SOCIAL: NEWS

We never have seen it fail on the
Heights. Whenever a good bunch OF
fellows get heirsheads together for the
purpose Of raising any money for
good purpose there is always a ready
response. A goodly sum Of money was
needed to clear the debt on the fire
hall. Captain Bruneau and Officer
Butler got their heads together and c.
A. Marshall was induced to give an
illustrated lecture Of q trip from Du-
luth to London.
Tickets were Immediately printed
and a good committee got busy selling
them. Everybody responded without a
momen's hesitation. The hall was filled
to the doors. Mr.. Marshall gave a.
good lecture. He described In detail
his trip from Duluth to London and
return. One would almost imagine he
was going there himself. So Interest,"
ing was the entertainment that 1t IL
hoped that Mr.. Marshall will continue
to give the people Of the Heights the
benefit OF his experience in travelling.
The entertaining was greatly benefited
by musical selections from Miss
Richardson and Miss Bond. Both
ladies sang charmingly. Three Of the
songs were illustrated under the iirec-
ton Of ]. H. M. Parker. The fire
company netted about $1,000 from the
entertainment and all Of the people
seemed highly elated over the affair.

FOUR FLUSHING ON SCHOOL
ELECTION.

Since the school election of last
Saturday some very good people who
in the past have been able to manip-
ulate the elections, but who failed
this time, are advocating the extern
sion Of the hours for voting. It is
perfectly safe to talk such stuff now.
The legislature is not in session and
no harm can come out of it.
Captain Lewis said in an interview
the other evening that he would be
glad to support such a measure in
the legislature. The good captain
evidently intends to be a candidate
again. He carried bill in his pock-
ct through most OF the last session of
the legislature which provided for
the extension of the school election
hours, but no one was agitating for
the measure then but organized labor.
It probably would not have been

that it requires much money and no
assurance to get the promised cure.
A near friend of ours who has
been deaf for many years was lured
by newspaper advertisements to this
arch fakir. A handkerchief thor

ears, and then the quack moved back
and asked his patient If he could
hear any better. mot a bit,'' re-
piled our unfortunate friend. He
then was given the remarkable In
formation that If he used $40 worth
of this cure-all his hearing would
be completely restored.
This is the same old gag" Is
there not some way to protect So
ciety from this sort of grafters? Are
not the newspapers that accept the
misleading and deceptive advertiser
ments of these fakirs as much to-
blame as the other deceivers? The
Labor World promises it's readers
that no such misleading, deceptive
and criminal matter will ever be in
serted in the columns of this paper.
We want business. We need money,
and we need it badly, but we are not
so eoger for it as to willingly mis-
lead those who have confidence in
the integrity Of our paper, by per-
hitting the insertion Of ADVERTISE
ments that we know are both decep-
tive and untrue.
There ought to be a hasty awaken
ing in this community. The people
ought to soon learn how to deal with
patent medicine fakirs and grafters
whenever they show themselves here.
The quicker they do this. the better
it will be for the city and them
selves.

PATENT MEDICINE FAKIRS AND
NEWSPAPER "ADS."

Newspapers, like other institutions
are subject to influences that often
sway them from their course Of duty.
In the olden times the newspaper
that would expose a fraud was re-
garded as true friend of the peo-
pie. In those days the subscriptions
meant more to the paper than ad
vertising space.
In late years we have learned that
the greatest danger to the press was
in the fact that they are too liable
to become quieted by advertising
patronage from business institutions
whose methods are not above re-
proach.
In our own city at this very mo-
ment there is young, but progress
sive fakir who claims that he can
cure every disease with which
science has been wrestling for years,
in jiffy. Like Messiah the lame
are made to walk, the deaf to hear.
the blind to see and the impure are
made clean.
Paid advertisements are inserted
in both of the daily papers, and they
are written so that the unprofes-
sional are lead to believe that they
are bona fide news items. Hundreds
Of sufferers are led in this manner to

ICHICACO UNIONS GET

Striking Garment Workers
Send J. J. sonsteby to

Representative is Cordially Re-
ceived and Gives True
Version Of Strike.

The labor unions Of Duluth this week
are honored with visit from. J. J..
Sonsteby, representing the heroic
striking garment workers of Chicago.
Mr.. Sonsteby has been in the state for
the past six weeks and has succeed
ed In soliciting much money from the
unions Of Minnesota for the support Of
the members Of his union. He Is visit
ing each Of the local organizations
and so far has received liberal con-
tributions. In speaking Of Chicago
labor troubles he said:

LOSING RURAL IN"
HABITANTS.

There is food for much thought
along economic lines in the partial
census reports issued from time to
time by the Secretary of State. We
have before us statement of the
population from Goodhue county. 1t
indicates that there has been small
increase in the urban population OF
the county, but the rural population
has fallen off considerably in the
last five years. The county expert
enced net gain of 500 souls since
the United States census, but the
farming districts lost 1869 people.
Other counties in the we'll settled
portions Of the state are making the
same proportionate showing.
In commenting on the situation the
Goodhue County News says: 1.-THE
steady diminution of population in
the rural districts is due to the fact
that the cities are drawing off the
younger people,
While this may be true it is to- be
regretted. We iii the cities know too
we'll that they are being overcrowded
by our modern factory system.
We stood, on depot platform the
other morning and watched a num-
Der of emigrants leaving train. Our
friend said to us: "These are the
people to build up our country" We
stopped the agent who met them and
asked where they were going. His
answer was that some would remain
in Duluth; others would work in the
mines, and still others would do
railroad work, but none were to take
up farms.
It strikes the Labor World that
the time is ripe for the framing OF
some sensible legislation to encour-
age the settlement of our undevelop-
ed acreage lands in this state. Just
think of the immense amount that
is going to waste each year, all be-
cause spectators have so manipulate
ed things in their own interest.
In Goodhue County we presume
that some of the young farmer boys
have been induced to western Can
ada, where lands are cheap and
where there are plenty of openings
for them. But in this state every
thing seems to be locked up by fool
ish legislation, reckless tax laws and
glutunous spectators.
We may come to our senses too
late in this state, and find ourselves
far in the rear as an agricultural
commonwealth. 1t is hoped that the
people of Duluth will appreciate the
necessity of electing men to the leg
islature next year who have given
this question some thought, and who
will introduce and support measures
calculated to develop the unsettled.
but fertile portions Of our state.

quite the popular thing then.

quite the popular thing then.
A certain member of the pres
ent school board was at the time op-
posed to the extension for fear that
it would bring labor union influence
into the management of the schools.
He so stated in a letter to one of our
members of the legislature. But that
most interesting school director has
changed his mind since then. Some
of his friends have been beaten for
reelection.
Now the Herald is publishing some
very able editorials on the matter Of
changing the hours for school cleo
tions. Our esteemed contemporary
always has the faculty of getting in
to a good thing of real benefit to the
people when little actual good can
be done. We remember just before
the election last fall of some stirring
and commendable editorials in the
Herald on the question of municipal
ownership. It will be remembered
that this was not an issue in the
campaign, so it was perfectly safe to
talk 1t strongly.
Later municipal ownership became
a live and burning question when the
city of Duluth was trying to get the
right from the state legislature to go
into the electric lighting business,
but the Herald was absolutely silent
on the question then. One editorial
from that most influential journal
would have been sufficient to turn
the trick in the interest of the peo-
pie.
While the municipal ownership
bill was pending organized labor was
asking for the passage of bill ex-
tending the hours for school elections.
Our unions engaged an attorney to
draft bill. We secured the sigma
lures Of $500 workingmen alone In
this city to a petition asking the
Duluth members of the legislature to
pass the bill. But to be frank with
our readers we received encourage
ment from but one member of our
delegation. The others "soft soap
ed" us in the usual manner, but not
one substantial promise was made.
We discovered that special law
could not be amended and so we had
another bill drawn providing for
school elections in cities of over So
600 Inhabitants. This was the bill
to be passed, but it did not meet
with the approval of the "Czar'' of
the Duluth Board of Education, and
nothing was done by our most at
tentive legislators. The Herald, too,
was silent on this occasion.
We hope now as the matter Is up
for discussion that business is meant
and that some action will be taken
by the next legislature.
