Revival Meetings Closed.

The revival meetings which
have been onducted at the
Methodist church for four weeks
closed last night with satisfac-
tory results. They were among
the very best meetings the pas
tor has seen for a long time. The
members stood by the meetings
in a way sts.eommendable and
spirit of harmony was visible
from beginning to end. The
minister adopted the thorough
method in conducting the meet
ings and therefore only altar
converts were counted as making
a start. All departments of the
church are feeling the effects of
the revival and there is reason to
believe that the results will be
lasting. There will be a recep-

ment to the Morris law abolish

We were greatly astonished a
short time ago to find there was
being circulated broadcast by
the Commercial clubs of st. Paul
and Minneapolis, a pamphlet,
under the title "Memorial and
Appeal, !" as an appendix to which
appeared a copy of a pretended
petition having $50 Chippewa In
dian slgners, among which
names ours are included, asking
congress to leave the Morris law
just as il stands.
The authorship of this forged
petition has been positively de-
termined, and this forgery
grossly misrepresents US to our
damage, in that it operates to
persuade congress not to grant
US relief so that this property
can be sold. We have already
lost over three years interest on
the inn mense value of this prop
erty and the forger Of this petit
tion has greatly damaged US in
fraudulently misrepresenting
our wishes as to it's disposal.

the following:

Charles Wright, showing how
these names were secured by

press that the petition and list of
names was furnished by DR..

conceived an idea, and at once he pro-

He invited the guest to go in town

at his club, and have gay little time

made the program sound sufficiently
alluring to entice him away from the
country home, and in some way he

HE WAS ARTlSTiCALLY FIRED
How Guest Who Had oyerstayed the
Limit Was Started Along

A Washington war correspondent,
stopping off in Chicago on his return
from Manchuria not SO very long ago,
was invited for a weekend visit at
a hospitable home out on the north
shore. The invitation was plainly
worded from Friday until Monday"
and the war correspondent accepted
and on Friday he arrived.
He had a beautiful time. He met
some lovely young girls who looked
at him with adoring eyes and listened
breathlessly to the exciting tales he
related of adventures in which the
hero was always the same-he modest
ly admitted it-himself. He wore
medals and decorations, all immensely
effective with the feminine element of
tender years with which he found him
self surrounded And altogether he
was enjoying the situation with such
seraphic joy that when Monday ar
rived he was by no means ready to
leave, and he didn't. He simply
stayed Discovering man servant
packing his things, he informed him
that he did not intend to TO, and go
he didn't.
For three weeks he remained in
the household, wearing his medals and
ribbons at dinner, and at all functions
to which he with his host and hostess
were invited-continuin to surround
himself with admifing femininity Fin

crime and the initiative and referen-
dunn, imperative mandate and right
of recall, had been Incorporated.
The preamble to the declaration
reads:
''The aims, desires and aspirations
of trade unionists comprise all that is
necessary or possible to the wellbelng
of the human family, and in pursuit
or accomplishment of which We cheer
fully accept and in fact, desire all
the assistance which can be given
our movement by all the forces which
stand for the betterment of mankind.
In this position we are in close relation
with other reform bodies and with
them agree that not only should the
burdens of toll be made lighter, but
that each worker has. an undeniable
right to enjoy the full benefit of all
that he or she produces. AS trade
unionists we stand for greater liberty
and are determined SO to act that the
future shall be more congenial to the
whole human family, and especially
more bright and enjoyable to the men
and women bread winners of North
America, whom we directly and indi-
rectiy represent.
"We unhesitatingly announce that
the trade union movement herein rep
resented is the most practical, safe
and legitimate channel through which
the working men and women Of North
America should continue not only to
seek redress for their wrongs, but
by which they can strengthen their
economic position until it will place
labor in full possession of its inhe-
rent rights.
"We declare that since the incep-
ton of our movement inquiry into
the best form of government has been
it's guiding motive, and will SO contin-
lie while there is high moral desire
to crafty, or an injustice to correct.
Our meetings, local, national and in
ternational are now and always have
been free to the discussion of any
legitimate economic or political ques-
ton, but on the other hand, are as
equally pronounced against partisan
politics, religious dissentions or race
prejudices, and as success has fol-
lowed these meritorieus conclusions,
we would be unfaithful to the duty
we owe to mankind to do other than
strongly recommend continuance of
the methods, the inculcation of which
means the greatest amount of safety
to our movement, with the least de-
gree of danger
