Natures WAY Is Best.

The function strengthening and tissue
building plan OF treating chronic, llnger-
ing and obstinate cases Of disease as pur-
sued by DR.. Pierce, is following after
Natures plan of restoring health.
He uses natural remedies, that is
extracts from native medicinal roots,
prepared by processes wrought out by
the expenditure of much time and
money, without the use OF alcohol, and
by skillful combination In just the right
proportions.
Used as ingredients of DIR. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery, Black Cherry
bark, Queens root, Golden Seal root,
Bloodroot and Stone root, specially exert
their influence in cases of lung, bronchial
and throat troubles, and this ~DIscov-
ERY" is, therefore, sovereign remedy
for bronchitis, laryngitis, chronic coughs,
catarrh and kindred ailments.
The above native roots also have the
strongest possible endorsement from the
leading medical writers, Of all the several
schools Of practice, for the cure not only
of the diseases named above but also for
indigestion, torpor of liver, or bilious
ness, obstinate constipation, kidney and
bladder troubles and catarrh, no matter
where located.
You don't have to take DR.. Pierce's
say-so alone as to this; what he claims
for his discovery IS backed up by the
writings Of the most eminent men in the
medical profession. A request by posta
card or letter, addressed TO Dr. r. "
Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y, for little book
of extracts from eminent medical au-
thorities endorsing the ingredients of his
medicines, will bring little book free

animation Under Minnesota
State Law.
Good Results Follow From Strict
Enforcement of Sanitary
BARRIERS Act.

The Minnesota State Barber's board
Of examiners held meeting in Duluth
Tuesday. There were many applicants,
some thirty-five or forty, and free hair
cuts and shaves were given to as many
different people. The board meets in
Duluth quite frequently but this is the
first session held under the new board
appointed by Governor Johnson.
The members of the board are:
Walter Dunlop, president Duluth; G..
H. Becker of st. Paul, secretary and
William Hanlin, Minneapolis, treasur-
er. By strange coincidence these
three members were secretaries of their
respective local unions at the time of
their appointment. MIR. Becker thought
that hits was too strong, so he resign
ed his position with the BARRIERS union
of St., Paul, and withdrew from the
Trades Assembly to give his whole
time to he board. The other members
are still officers of their unions
The law creating the board and re-
quiring the examination of BARRIERS was
passed at the instigation of the bar
bers union, and is one Of the. most
satisfactory examining laws in the
state. Skin diseases resulting from a
lack Of cleanliness in barber shops have
been greatly decreased by strict en-
forcement of the state barber laws. hi

CHANGE LABOR DAY To
SOME TINE IN AUGUST
Many Union Men Believe That
September Labor Day is Too
Late in the season.
South Dakota Unions Observe Dav
One Month Earlier-Good
Weather is Certain.

Shall Labor Day be held on the first
Monday in September, or shall the
unions Of Duluth observe the day one
month earlier? This is a question
which is being carefully considered in
the councils Of local labor.
Why not change the day? Out in
Souht Dakota where September wealth
er compares favorably with Duluth La
Dor Day v''sther, the miners observe
the day or e first Monday in August.
Duluth unlUhs could make the same
change with advantage to everybody.
We have talked to many business
men on this question and most Of them
seem to think that the change would he
better for every one. Better arrange
ments could be made for outings and one
thing is certain the ideal August
weather Of Duluth can always be re-
lied upon.
Why not picnic in the summer time
Why wait until fall? It is hoped that
union labor will arrange for an early
Labor Day.

union LABOR'S FIRST
SET BACK IN COUNCIL.
By Decisive Vote of II To 5
Council Refuses To Re-adver-
tise For Job Printing.
City Fathers Satisfied With
Non-union Firm and Job Will
Be Given To Them.

The first step in the city council on
union labor question came last Mon
day evening when the bid of F. H.
Lounsberry & Co., non-union printers
for miscellaneous printing was prac-
tlcally accepted by decisive vote, al
though final action was postponed for
a week.
Alderman Staples and McEwen tried
to have the bill rejected and the city
clerk requested to re-advertise for
bids. The council could not see it
that way. In spite of Mr.. McEwen's
assertion that better prices could be
secured If the matter was again sub
m1tted for bids, the council by a vote
OF IL to decided that it was sat
lsned. 1t was also made evident that
the real issue involved was that of
giving employment to either union or
non-un1on printers, so there would be
no doubt or misconception about this
pnase or the question. Alderman Nc
EVEN stated openly that he was op-%
posed to giving the contract to F. H.
Lounsberry Co., because the firm
was non union.
II was the first time that a. union la
Dor question was openly raised in the
council for sometime and the issue
was met squarely by both the friends
and foes Of any policy that would
show either friendship or dislike for
union labor. Union labor lost.
The vote shows that it does not
make any difference what the party
politics of man may be, union labor
can only judge him from his record.
What a chump a union labor man is
VINO Is partisan in politics? There
are some Democrats as well as Repuh-
llcans In public life in this city, who
are no more deserving Of the support
Of the workingmen then any open
enemy would be. Fortunately union
labor has some staunch friends in the
city council. and some Of them who
voted for the non-union printer last.

COURAGEOUS OPERATORS
STICK TO THEIR, POSTS

NEW YORK, April 1s.-That the
world received news throughout the
day OF the San Francisco disaster is
due IN part to the courage of the tele-
graph operators \there who stuck to
their posts and continue to send news
and other messages in spite of great
personal danger.
The operators and officials of the
Postal Telegraph company remained
in the main office OF the company at
the corner OF Market and Montgomery
streets, opposite the Palace hotel until
they were ordered out of the buildtnes
because Of the danger from the dyna-
mite explosions in the immediate vicin-

BILLY WILLIAMS FOR
MAYOR OF MINNEAPOLIS.
His Friends Boosting Him TO
Become Candidate On Mu-
nicipal Ownership Ticket.
Political Situation In Flour
City Stimulated BY Great
Moral Reform Now On.

William w. Williams, it is said, has
announced himself as candidate for
mayor of Minneapolis on the Num-
cipal Ownership ticket.
There is brewing in the Flour City
real healthy sentiment for economic
municipal reform. Under the admin
istration Of Mayor Jones the city has
been treated to a sample of moral re-
form, and while most of the people
seem to be satisfied with the enforce
ment of the liquor laws there are
many who want to receive economic
benefits from their local government.
Minneapolis with her great BODY OF
free minded citizens il terribly bound
up with corporation franchises to-
street railway, gas and electric com-
panies.
This is the center Of Democracy in
Minnesota which stands for the prin-
ciples in government enunciated by
William r. Hearst, and Billy VIII
liams is the gallant leader Of the So
called Hearst people.
Williams is municipal ownership
man throughout. He has the courage
Of his convictions and seems to be
tactful enough to champion the ques-
ton without giving too much offense,
Since his incumbency of the Office
OF Labor Commissioner Williams has
shown that he is possessed of con-
siderable executive ability, and his
friends in Minneapolis want to utilize
it to the best advantage while the
great wave for economic advancement
in Municipal government is on.
The Democratic organization in
Minneapolis, it is said, wants to nom
mate former Mayor Haynes, but his
candidacy will not be satisfactory to
the Hearst people because he does not
stand for those reforms which are;
foremost in the minds Of the peoples.
For this reason it is believed that
Williams is the most logical candidate
for mayor Of Minnesota's largest city.
Union labor will champion Williams
candidacy, because he ie an exponent
of the cause Of labor with no second III

INDUSTRIAL WORKERS.
FIGHT CIGAR MAKERS
Furnish Strike Breakers To
Non Union Cigar Manufac-
turer In Butte, Montana.
Industrial Workers Do Not De-
ny Charge, and Say That In
ternational Is Fake.

Where are we at? In a strong cir
cular issued by the Industrial Workers
of the world is an appeal for funds
for the defense Of Meyer, Haywood
and Pettibone. In the same mail we
have received a statement Of dis
graceful fight out in Butte between
the regular organization Of cigarmak-
ers and an alleged union, affiliated with
the Industrial Workers of the World.
1t seems that the International Ci-
gar Makers union, affiliated with the
American Federation Of Labor, is de-
claring g. boycott against a firm in
Butte, Montana,~ having in their employ
members Of the Industrial Workers of
the World, did so because these men
were strike breakers and some Of them
were fined for scabbing against the
Internal tional union. 1t Is asserted by
the latter organization that the I. w. w.
IS organizing strike breakers and ex-
PEELED members Of the regular organ
ization when they get an opportunity
to do so.
The Industrial Workers Of the World
DO not deny the allegation. Their
answer Is that their members in Butte
are members of a Chicago union of
industrial workers, but there is no ex-
cuse given why they should take the
Jobs Of members of the regular union
during a strike. In answer to the
charge that the I. ". w. is organizing
dual organizations OF cigar maker. It
pleads that the International union of
Cigar Makers Is not at all a labor or
'ganization, and consequently cannot
accuse real(O labor organization of
being organized in opposition to the in
terest Of the workers" The above Is
the language Of the I. w. w. verba tun.
Think of it, cigarmakers of Duluth! I!
It Is charged that your organization is
not a labor organization, and there-
fore they are justified in proceeding
against you.
We might as well meet the issue
now as any time, The I. w. w. is a dual
organization of labor, and no true
member Of bona f1de trade union
should give it one iota of sunnort

THE GRIMES Of KINGS

Popular Preacher Reviews
French Revolution and IT.
ters Many New Thoughts.
Draws Strong Picture Between
Crime Of Kings Of Those
Committed BY People.

Cincinnati, O., April 19.-Herbcrt S.
Bigelow, in his pulpit at the Vine
Street Congregational church. Cincin-
natl, is delivering to large audiences
course of lectures on the French
Revolution which is making a pro-
found impression.
Following are some of Mr.. Bigelow's 8
utterances of last Sunday evening
"The French Revolution Is the most
intensely absorbing act in the whole
drama of human history. To some it
was hideous nightmare. To others
it was terrible judgment day-a day
of wrath appointed for the crimes of
kings
To measure the crimes that were
committed in the name of the people
we must consider the crimes that were
committed in the name of the old re-
gime. The crimes that were commit
ted by the Revolution have been made
the most Of. They have been fully cat
alogued. They were seen Of all the
world. But the centuries were blind to
the atrocities that wer committed by
king and grandee against the people;
they were deaf to the groans of those
who were left to rot and die in the
dungeons of feudal France"
when Marie Antoinette was led to
the guillotine all the world stood
aghast. When the knife fell and the
blood spurted and the headless trunk
Of a queen was carted off for burial,
thrill of horror encircled the globe.
1t was royal blood that the revolution
shed. One royal execution attracted
more attention and commanded more
sympathy that ten thousand wretches
whose lives were harried out of them
by crimes committed In the name of
the law.
Bloody Sunday.
1T is still so. Remember bloody
Sunday when the poor people who de-
manded an audience with the Little
F'atehr were shot down in the streets
Of st. Petersburg. Did our govern
ment at washington send to the peo-
pie of Russia any message of indigna-
ton or sympathy? But few, days
later when one Grand Duke was
nurd dered Were not the cond dolences OF
E1Iea Amer spublt te cahled forth-
with toe the Cars goVernne,rt s
teenth was united and his royal neck
laid on the block of the Revolution,
the crown heads Of Europe fell into a
rage. They were shocked that a fat
and stupid king should be done to
death. Shocked indeed, though they
had borne complacently enough the
sufferings Of their unnumbered vic
Tins 1t was nothing to them that
the trenches of senseless battle-ields
should be filled with the maneled
bodies of fathers and husbands; it was
nothing to them that their mute dun
geons should confound the innocent
with the guilty and stop forever the
piteous cry for justice and liberty; it
was nothing to them that harpies held
high revel in kings palaces while la
Dor was bent by the right of taxes and
men and women and children were
driven to eat grass with the beasts Of
the field"
."Said the dying revolutionist to the
bishop in Victor Hugo's story, II will
weep with you for the children of
kings if you will weep with me for the
little ones of the people?'
