is putting up nice game for the
county team. Fred has to his
credit some fine work IN days
gone by when he was member
of the fast aggregation. He is
speedy on the bases, has a good
batting eye, and there is no
"glass" in his arm.
John Bailey will, in all proba-
bility, play first base for the
county team. John is lengthy
and has a tenacious grip, which
will make it a difficult matter for
the ball to get by him.
It is more tnan likely that
Judge Spooner will pitch few
innings for the county. Not
much is known relative to the
past record Of the Judge, along
baseball lines. However, it is
believed that he has an expert
enced swing" and that he con-
templates doing things to the
city representatives.
Chairman Danaher used to
cavort around third base over at
Grand Forks in the eighties, and
as a batter he was a tower of
strength. However "time do
fly" and she flies fast, and old
age comes on apace, and it is
likely that sandy" has lost some
of the ability with the bat that he
once possessed.
There is some complaint that
neither Alderman Brinkman nor
Alderman McTaggart have been
out for rehearsal" with the city
team. Time was when George
McTaggart played first base,
minus a glove of any description,
and he was a power with the will
low. Alderman Brinkman was
also a skilled artist with the ball
and cudgel. Come out, boys,
and get in the game.
The city team will line up this
evening in the positions they will
play Thursday, and every player
who has been spoken to join the
team is requested to be on hand.
Register of Deeds Harris was
out again Saturday evening, hav-
ing reduced a compound fracture

Frank Arnold was out with the
rest of the boys Saturday even
ing. Frank is fleet of foot and
thoroughly understands the
game, although somewhat rusty
for want of practice.
Suggestions for umpire for the
game Thursday are in order

A FEW PERTINENT QUESTIONS
FOR MOSES E. CLAPP TO ANSWER

Senator Moses e. Clapp has been
going about the state during this CAM
pa1gn asking the voters to support
the candidacy of A. L. Cole for Gov.
ernor OF Minnesota. He will address
a number of voters at the Armory and
in West Duluth Saturday night.
When a public official of the char
acter of Senator Clapp asks you to
vote for A. L. Cole 1t ought to have
some weight, but we have a right to
ask the. noted Senator something OF
much concern to the working people
of Duluth.
Senator Clapp started in the cam.
pa1gn by asking the people: What
has Governor Johnson done7" To
wich Gov. Johnson replied: II have
rendered an account OF my steward
ship, it is up to Senator Clapp to rem
der an account of his"
The organized WORKING people OF
Duluth, following the query of Gov
ernor Johnson, would like to know
why Senator Clapp remained away
from the meeting of the Labor Com.
mittee In the United States senate,
when the vote was taken to report
the Eight Hour bill to the senate.
Senator Clapp's absence from that .4a-
portant session resulted in tie vote
on the matter of favorably reporting
the measure. The result was the bill
died in committee.
When Senator La Toilette Of Wis
consin offered an amendment to the
railroad rate bill authorizing the
Interstate Commerce Commission to
make valuation of the railroad prop,
critics in the United States, Senator
Knute Nelson voted NO" Senator
Clapp DID NOT VOTE. Where was
the eminent senator on this occasion
When another amendment to the
same bill was proposed forbidding
federal judges who own railroad stock
or ride on passes from trying rail-
road cases, Senator Nelson did not
vote, and Senator Clapp voted NO.
Is Senator Clapp In a position to
make any recommendations to the
good people of Duluth? His record
| speaks for itself.

BY THE REV. CHAS. STELZLE.

NEW YORK, Oct 18.-It was a GU
rious process of construction, but q
very effective one. The newspaper that
occupied the building had outgrown
its dimensions, but it seemed impossible
to move to large quarters while walt
ing for the new building, which was to
be erected on the old site. It was there
fore decided to continue doing business
at the old stand, and with an occasional
shift Of the departments from floor to
floor the new building was finally COM
pleted, from foundation to dome, with
out a single interruption in the getting
out of one Of the most important jour-
nails in this country.
1t was an evolutionary process. The
ness until their new building was COM
pleted, but that did not seem the wise
nor the sensible. thing to do. But that
is what some social reformers would
have us do. They would demolish old
| things before: they would begin the
construction of the new. They imagine
that our social system can be changed
lieve that the enactment of new law
will usher in the millenium.
Ideal social systems do not come that
| way. They are born. They grow. They
| change. They are a development. And
we must continue to do business at the
old stand while all this is going on.
Taking advantage Of every factor
which helps in this development, and
| ignoring no man who has a contribu-

! things with the consciousness that only
the end of days will see perfection,
| for soon we shall outgrow any system
that may be inaugurated, because we
are constantly moving on toward the
| ideal. And may we ever remember
and let us be grateful for it-that our
| ideal of the perfect society will ba
! improved upon by our children.

untruthful picture.
Could anything be more fantastic
than the reality?
This is Republic. All are supposed
to obey the law, all are supposed to
have chance. The nations wealth is
supposed to belong to the nation.
But what do you see on this page
in a republic?
You see a picture Of child crying,
a child representing thousands that are
doomed to death or to stunted life,
which Is worse than death.
republic, with wealth absolutely
unlimited, with possibilities unlimited
actually permits the grinding to death
of tens Of thousands Of miserable chill
dren.
And in that country you see the
grandfather and the grandson on this
page.
You see one man in a republic able
to point on the globe to the nation in
which he lives and say to his grand
child, NEARLY all of this belongs to me.
All of it may belong to you.'
This grandfather can say to his
grandchild, I'm this country no man
may engage in one great industry un-
less l say so, no man may engage in
another great industry unless say so.
And when 1 go, you will have this
same power"
Have the citizens of the United
States done their duty when on the
one hand they see the children tortured
destroyed, and on the other hand one
individual able to shut all citizens out
of the avenues Of prosperity which he
controls; able to say truthfully that
no man in the country can engage in
! certain lines Of work unless he says
| so?
1t is a queer. fantastic picture in
| deed that our republic, governed by
| trusts, holds up to us.
| The man with a crown on his head
mas more actual influence among those
whom the people elect than any mil
lion Of citizens put together.
The great trusts take your wealth,
laugh at your laws.
And smaller, equally criminal, enter
prises take your children or the chill
dren Of other Americans who ought
to be as dear as brothers to you and
grind them into money.
Have we got among us today any
of the manhood possessed by our fore
| fathers who established this govern
| ment?
| Is it conceivable that men descend
ing from those that declared that All
men must be free are willing to sub
init to tens Of thousands of children
being made slaves?
Were the men who gave up their
lives to throw off taxation without
representation" really the forefathers
of the men today who submit to being
taxed without any representation OF
power of retaliation by this old crown
ed King of Money?
American citizens, you will not be
doing you duty, you will not be worthy
Of the men that esta blished this coun-
try for you, until you are able with
your power to free the slave children
In mills and factories, until you are
able to say to the Kings of Money
you are not greater than the law;
you shall obey the law.

in that time.
Opposes Roosevelt.
Editor Macarthur of the Coast Sea-
mans Journal does not agree with
President Roosevelt that the Panama
Canal must be built at any COST" even
to the extent of using Chinese coolie
labor
"The coolies are to poor to pay their
passage to the canal zone or to insure
their return to China when their con-
tracts have expired" says Mr.. Nc
Arthur. "This means that they will
be slaves to those who bring them
over. Slavery In any other land and
under any other circumstances Is a
thing to be condemned in unmeasured
terms. But slavery on the Panama
Canal is-well, an indispensable con-
dition. Who would have believed 1t
possible that the very thing many
stood for and for which they were con-
demned, and. indeed, nearly hanged
for only a few years ago, would be
justified by the American press, and
that in the name Of humane govern
ment'?
I'VE are told that as between Chi
nese and negro labor, the advantage
lies with the former, inasmuch as in
that case the government has the ad-
vantage Of dealing with q single con-
tractor, rather than with the ind1vidual
laborers.' Just so: as long as the Ia
Dor agent Is satisfied with his
cents per hour, as the case may be-,
the government need not i'other about
the condition Of the coolies! There
are men who agree with President
Roosevelt that the canal must he built
| at any cost If that view shall pre-
vail the canal will be not only the
greatest engineering work Of the times.
| but also the greatest proof that >he
republic which is unwilling to apply
the principles Of human liberty to all
! who come within its jurisdiction can
not hope to maintain these principles
in its own affairs. This country can
not exist part slave and part free'."

W0MAN's LABOR LAWS
HAVE NO STANDING
Chicago Woman Denounces False
Pretense of Courts In Their
- : Rulings. S....'.

Mrs. Raymond Robins scored the
judges of the country for their labor
decisions in a talk made before the
Douglas Park Woman's club, Chicago,
last Tuesday on the condition of work.
ing women. She declared that exist
ing laws for the protection Of women
toilers were violated with impunity,
and she described sweat-shops and
factory abuses graphically.
mo sooner have we obtained the
passage Of law for the protection Of
wage earners than the judges, with
few exceptions, declare it unconstitu-
tional," asserted Mrs. Robins. Our
courts have made the principle Of
freedom of contract a fetish. The
judges spend their lives fenced off
from industrial strife, and they give
the worker a. word instead of right.
"A girl in Buffalo lost her hand op-
was not safeguarded as the law re-
quired. A jury awarded her damages,
but the New York state supreme court
reversed the verdict on the ground that
the girl had been free to leave her en-
ployment if she chose.
" Says It Is. Nonsense.
"Such rulings are sheer nonsense.
That girl could not dictate the condi-
tions under which she would work
She had to accept what she could get
or starve. There can be no genuine
freedom of contract unless the parties
to the bargain are on something like
an equal footing.
"Our laws as they are interpreted
by the courts misunderstood the needs
OF the working people. Not until
judges come into contact with the men
and women who toll will they stop
talking nonsense"
Mrs. Robins said she believed the
labor unions had done more to improve
the lot Of working people in the last
century than any other force. She
declared the unions were right in their
opposition to piecework and told a
story sof Chicago girl to illustrate her
argument that the system lowered
wages.

She worked harder and made nearly

are carried on in the homes. The

law limiting women's work to sixty

TRACES HUSBAND WHO
ONCE DESERTED HER
SAN FRANCISCO WOMAN VIKINGS
PROMISE FROM HIM
Alleging That Lyman Deserted Her
While She Was Sick, With Police
Aid She Obtains His Promise to
Support Her

Through some clever detective work
by Officer Ingram Mrs. Sarah Lyman
of San Francisco was yesterday able to
find her husband, who is alleged to
have left her three years ago.
He has been conducting a lodging
house on San Pedro street and was
known as Morris Lehman, alias Lie
man.
After he was taken to the police
station>he was confronted with his wife
and he agreed to live with her again
and support the children. Mrs Lyman
told the police that her husband de-
serted her in San Francisco while she
was in hospital, taking all the per-
sonal property with him. BY dint of
hard work she managed to support the
family and has been prosecuting her
search for her errant spouse.
She heard through a friend that Ly-
man was in the city and with the
help of Detective Ingram was able to
locate her husband.
He was not overjoyed to see her and
it took some persuasion ON the part
of the police before he would con-
sent to go back to his wife, They
left the station, however, arm in arm,
with the avowed intention of beginning
their married life all over again.
