COOPER, THE FAkIR, AND HI
ADVERTISING SCHEME.

The king medicine fakir is still
preying upon the credulity of a
large number of Duluth people. The
daily papers still continue to accept
his misleading and deceptive adver-
tisements. Hard earned dollars are
being taken in the most reckless
manner from the poor sufferers who
are led by false promises to this sham
medicine factory.
No highwayman ever got to the
people SO boldly. We have far more
respect for the highwayman who
makes no misrepresentation about
his business, than we have for this
medicine brigand who bra7enly robs
the poor of their precious money by
deceit and the working of conf
dence game through the ADVERTISE
ments-at good price per line
which the daily papers continue to
accept.
The ordinary man would have no
confidence in Cooper, the fakir, were
1t not for the fact that he can pur-
chase the best space in the daily
papers to advertise his fake remedy.
Cooper's notices are not like the Or
binary paid advertisements. They
are written in such a manner as to
lead the casual reader to believe that
they are bona fide news items. The
style of the news heads is followed,
and nothing in the interviews would
indicate that they are paid for at a
good price per line.
This is where the papers are doing
their readers an injustice. Let them
continue to accept this kind of mat
ter and it will only be a matter of
time before they will lose the conf
dence of the people. When the people
once learn the true policy of news
papers in such matters their in
fluence as moulders of public opinion
will be lessened materially.
Both of the Duluth daily papers
are enjoying a prosperous career,
and from business standpoint it is
unnecessary for them to accept fake
advertisements for revenue purposes.
Both of them should be above this.
The proper thing for them to do
would be to tell such people as Cooper
that their news columns are not open
for fake reading notices.
There are some publications in
this county which refuse fake adver-
Using, be they reading notices or dis
play advertisements. For instance,
not long ago Golfers Weekly refused
a display advertisement from Liquo-
zone, because an analysis of the medi-
cine showed that its application is
dangerous to the human system.
The Duluth dailies might we'll fol-
low the good example set by such a
creditable publication.

To be a man is to be fighter, a
combatant in the worlds wide battle
field, where the cohorts of ignorance
and injustice wage ceaseless war
fare against truth and justice. No
man is doing his duty unless he takes
part in the effort to elevate and up
lift man. That can best be done in
the labor movement.

A GOOD WORKER LEAVES Du.
lU7H

We are sure that we are express
ing the sentiments of every union
workingman in Duluth when we say
that the departure of Henry Per-
eault, former president of the
Trades Assembly, from this city is
severe blow to the local labor move
ment.
Mr.. Pereault came to us Just six
years ago, and since that time he has
been a most earnest, unselfish and
indefatigable worker in the cause
here. There are not many men who
can occupy a position of trust in the
labor movement in any city for more
than five years and escape the veno-
nous abuse of the suspicious and dis
trustful, but Mr.. Pereault did it. He
leaves Duluth with as clean a record
as any man who ever fought the
battles of labor.
His courteous, gentlemanly and eau
tious manner has made him MANY
friends in and out of the movement
who regret to see him leave. We
long ago appreciated the true worth
of the man. We have watched his
course ever since his arrival in the
city. There never was job too Diff
ficult to tackle. There never was an
important work to do, but that he
went into it with all his heart.

standing back and criticising the

T DOES NOT PAY TO BE
STRIKE BREAKER.

There are great may readers of
the Labor World who are not men,
bers of trade unions, but who are
sincere friends and sympathizers of
the movement.
They recognize that the salvation
of labor is in organization, and for
this reason they are willing and
ready to aid the cause in any prac-
tical and righteous way.
Some of them have read polished
and "ready made" stories in the
daily papers about the teamsters
strike in Chicago. They have de-
plored the reported violence and the
recent exposures of corruption, but
they have never lost sight of the fact,
that behind the whole struggle was
involved a mighty principle in union
ism.
We in the labor movement who be-
lieve in law and order cannot COM
mend the brutal acts attributed to
sympathizers and members of the
transfers union, but we canot lose
sight of the fact that most of it was
gagged by the employers to break the
strike.
These men are of that low, mercen-
ary and unprincipled kind that So
ciety has been struggling against
from the beginning of time.
Wherever men have fought for lib
erty in any form the venomous,
treacherous and cowardly ''strike-
breakers" have been in evidence.
In Ireland's prolonged contest
against landlordism they were called
''Informers."
During the, American Revolution
they appeared as "Tories and Hes
sians."
At the time of the civil war they
were known as "Copperheads.'
In the present labor struggles for
greater industrial liberty they crop
out under the more polite name Of
"Strike-Breakers."
But through all of the time men,
toned herein they are the same char
acter of men.
President Elliott succeeded in max
ing himself ridiculous to all the lib
erty loving world when he pro-
nounced the strike breaker a modern
hero.
These men eventually broke the
Chicago strike, but according to
reported secret understanding the
employers have had with the team
ster's union they are to be dis
charged and union men viii be given
their old jobs back.
Now that one portion of the fight
is over even the bosses, Whose battles
they fought, have no further use for
strike breakers, and the poor, mis-
cradle wretches will be obliged to
look elsewhere for jobs.
These men who were responsible
for the murders, riots and wholesale
violations of law in Chicago, and who
were nursed and protected by the
employers association in their Grim
inal work are about to reap the re-
ward for treachery.
Is there not a lesson in it for all
men who labor? Immediate gain at
the sacrifice of principle will bring
nothing to the workingman who be-
trays his fellow worker except dis
honor, shame and disgrace. It does
not pay to be strike breaker.

R0JESTYENSKY. SERIOUSLY WOUNDED,

WAR NEWS IN brief.

Dispatches from tho orient today
serve to increase the size and import
ance of the victory Of tho Japs over
their opponents. Sinking Of the Rus
sian. admiraI's flagship is confirmed,
and Admiral Rojestvensky Toxic
claims, has been captured, but St.
Petersburg advices state that Rojest-
vensky, badly wounded, escaped on
the torpedo boat destroyer 1uiny,
which is reported arrived at vladi-
vostok, Toxic dispatches have here
tofore been thoroughly reliable and It
is probable that credence can be given
the report, which is official and also
states that all Of tho Russian battle
ships have been disposed Of and that
Admiral volkersam as we'll as Rojest-
vensky and Nebogatoff arc prisoners.
This statement has also been received
at Washington state deartmcnt. Ac-
cording to st. Petersburg reports the
Japanese suffered loss of half their
torpedo fotilIa and the sinking Of tho
Russian ships was largely accomplish-
cd by Jap torpedo boats which attack
ed again and again under a perfect
rain Of fire from quick firing guns from
Rojestvensky's fleet. A Shanghai dis
patch says the remnant OF the Rus
sian fleet is still fighting.

Naval Disaster to Public.
st. Petersburg, May 30.--A long
cipher dispatch reached the emperor
during the night, but it's contents have
not been made public. 1t is unoffic-
tally stated that several fast Russian
ships succeeded in shaking off their
,pursuers and have reached VladiVos-
tok that the government is now IN
possession of it's own version OF the
naval disaster. Nevertheless 1t ap-
pears to be In quandry as to how to
break the news to the country. Inc
war council was held at Tsarskoeselo
last night at which the emperor was
urged to issue an imperial manifesto,
but nothing has been decided. SO far
as the newspapers are concerned the
public might believe Rojestvensky had
achieved a victory. The censor passed
all vague rumors favorable to the Rus
slams. but blue penciled everything
that indicated u Russian disaster.

NO HOPE FOR RUSSIA.
Toso's Victory Looked Upon - End
Of the War.

Vienna, May 30.-The comments liz
the newspapers here are exclusive to
the effect that Russia Is conclusively
beaten and that nothing remains but
to sue for peace. The papers add that
It has been proved that the Russians
can never vanquish the Japanese, and
say the result Of the engagement In the
straits of Korea is a CHASTITY blow
to Russian prestige abroad and at
home, and that the sooner Russia
concludes an honorable peace the
sooner she can hope to improve the
conditions existing in her interior.
Paris, May 3O.-The magnitude Of
the Russian naval disaster has fairly
stunned French public opinion, which
had hoped that late advices would
show that Japan had also suffered
some share of the losses. However.
dispatches showing that the Japanese
fleet escaped practically unscathed
from the encounter dispelled the
hope entertained that Vice Admiral
Rojestvensky, by sacrificing portion
of his fleet, had succeeded in crippling
Vice Admiral Togo's fleet to such an
extent that the Japanese would be
placed in position Of inferiority.
Therefore, the disaster is generally
discussed by the officials, the public
and the press in a tone Of depression,
the pevailing view being that Bussia
now will be compelled to seek some
means Of terminating the war.
The bourse first gave evidence OF
strong peace sentiment by the buoy
ancy Of the market. The leading Jour-
nails, including the semi official Temps,
urged peace, declaring that Russia had
played her last card. The officials,
however, took conservative view,
maintaining 1t was too early to fore
see the effect until Russia's side had
been heard from and fuller details
were available.
Some quarters were disposed to
consider the presence of Secretary
Hay as opportune, but those best post
ed said the secretary's health and the
regimen which he is compelled to fol-
low by order of his physicians would
preclude the possibility Of his taking
an active hand even If a peace move
ment developed Moreover, France Is
on the eve of national demonstration
of welcome to King Alfonso, who will
arrive here on Tuesday, and this abb
serbs French official attention owing
to the Importance attached to the
Anglo -French-Spanish entente over
Morocco.
II was stated in diplomatic quarters
last night that while the result of the
battle would contribute to eventual
peace it did not give any immediate
prospect of the opening of negotia-
tions to the end. 1t was pointed out
that the obstinacy Of the character OF
the Russians would probably impel
them to turn their hope toward Lieu
tenant General Linevitch and to
await the result of another land battle.
1t was said in this connection that the
land situation would not be likely to
permit Field Marshal Oyama to strike
another decisive blow within two
weeks, thus prolonging Russia's hopes
on land and deferring her willingness
to ask for peace.
