News for publication:
Mamma see what a horrid things
Stuck in the paper here
"a gentleman, aged thirty five,
With five thousand year,
Would fain in wedlock's bonds unite,
With some kind lady fair,
| He S not O. er nice, but none will suit
Who chance to have red hair.
Now, ma, know I'm carroty,
I'd ne er the truth deny,
But wherefore should this BOBBY scorn
My vegetable dye?
My cousin joey whisper d me-
Last night behind my chair
| look d like spring by autumn crown d
Because had red hair.
l can't see what there's to admire
In hair as black as night;
There Mary Gill has raven locks,
And isn't she frlghtf
And then that nasty dirty drab,
Which some folks will call fair,
La bless them, ma, | IN sure tits worse
Than g en- the reddest hair.
Your auburn locks, which poets prize
Are Just like rusty screws;
If I'd the power to change for them,
| vow | would refuse;
And then your browns, which unto fog
Half day, half night, compare;
Give me thing with character
really like red hair.
If were vex'd at what folks say,
Or were as vain as some,
might, perchance, be dark as they,
So let them look at home:
Spring wigs are cheap, and jaseys ham,
Mark d three and six the pair,
But L II remain as nature willd,
For Joey likes red hair.

How hard it is to find friend
On whom you always can depend
Sometimes we think this friend is got
Till trial proves we have them not
Many to serve some selfish end declare
And vow they are your friend
But soon as serving self is DER,
Behold they are your friend no more
Others will act part more or less
Be always friendly to your face;
Your back you turn then they your
name,
Oppose to obliquy and shame.
Apparent friendship others show
TO find ont all you know,
Your secrets then are found ont
And then are handed all about.
Those who of others tell you much
Ny council is beware Of such,
Something say of all they know
As freely they viii speak of you.
When you're disposed a friend to
trust
Be always sure you prove them first,
And when they are tried then treat
them kind
A faithful friend is hard to find.

Bitten by Snake.

Elizabeth Coldwell, daughter of
Marion Coldwell who lives in Dixon
Cove, was bitten by rattlesnake Sun
day of last week. She, in company
with several younger brothers and sis
tiers, were sent out in field near their
home to get some May apple root,
when she stepped upon the snake
which was lying out straight and not
coiled up. The snake Immediately
struck her, the fangs penetrating her
flesh in the calf of leg She was TAX
en- to the house and remedies promptly
applied and she recovered. Her father
and brothers killed the snake which
was three feet long and had seven rat
ties. 1t is supposed the snake, strlk-
ing at close quarters did not get force
enough to his blow to inject the poison
deep enough, otherwise the conse-
quences might have been more serious
for Miss Coldwell.

THE PREACHER AND THE PRESS.

Christ said little OF the rights of
man, but much of his duty. When a
man does his duty, his rights will
take care of themselves" So spoke
Duluth preacher in his pulpit last
Sunday. This statement was made
the subject for an editorial in the
News-Tribune on the following morn
ing, and the comment was in part az
follows:
1T may not be as absolutely true in
the abstract as principle of political
economy, as it is of theology. Never.
theless, it is fact that the man who
does his full duty and is stoutly loyal
seldom has to hunt employment or
ask increase of wages, and that the
man who appreciates an honest days
work and is willing to share profits
as well as losses, seldom has to hunt
for workmen.'
The statements from both the press
and pulpit are deserving of careful
analysis, as they strike at something
fundamental in the movement Of labor
for more equitable conditions.
The preachers statement, and his
opinion, while mere generality. is in
accord with the teachings OF all intel
hgent labor advocates. >1f man per-
forms his full duty to man, the cues.
ton OF rights would truly take care
of itself. If the teachings of Christ
had been admitted during his life,
history would not have been made red
by the desperate efforts of the Oh.
pressed for their RIGHTS. In the
great struggles for religious rights the
teachings of Christ were denied. True
Is this also in mans struggle for po.
litical rights. The church played NO
little part in both. In most cases it
was found on the side of those who
denied men their rights, or who failed
to discharge their duty to man.
Labor is demanding it's rights, be-
cause man is not discharging his duty
to his fellow. The News Tribune takes
up the question with stunted-l1ke rea-
soning. 1t holds that the question is
one of wages and loyalty on the part
of workmen, and profit and loss shar.
ing with the employer There is no
question between rights and duty.
Look into the NewslT Tribune state
ment carefully: Neverth eless, IL is

WILL DULUTH UNIONS BE LOYAL

WILL DULUTH UNIONS BE LOYAL
In this issue of The Labor World Is
published the extracts of the call for
the twenty-fourth convention of the
Minnesota Federation of Labor, to be
held at Saltwater In June. A copy Of
the call is being sent to every work
ingmen's organization in the state.
1t is expected that the workingmen
OF every city in Minnesota will be well
and ably represented at this great
convention of labor. 1t behooves the
union workingmen of Duluth to start
at once in the election of delegates.
This city, the greatest union labor
center in the state, where it's influ-
ence is most powerful. cannot afford
to be lightly represented at Saltwater.
If Duluth unions have been lax In the
past, they should be active now. The
coming convention promises to be the
greatest and most important, from a
labor standpoint, ever held in the
state.
A complete change of method is
predicted. There is to be no more
fooling in either political or organiza-
ton work. a well planned program
will be presented and the best minds
In the labor movement will be asked
to pass judgment upon it. The con-
vent1on will force a crisis on the Ia
Dor movement OF Minnesota. and up
on the outcome OF it's deliberations
will depend the future success of the
trade union movement III this COM
monwealth.
This is why we say that the unions
OF Duluth should be up and doing.
Oh, that we had the power to arouse
the members of organized labor from
their slumber. Too many of them
think that they are able to stand
alone. A union can no more stand
alone for any length OF time in this
age of combination than can an indl.
vldual working an. 1t is a time or
federation, as 1t is one of organiza-
ton.
There are nearly so unions in Du-
luth. There should be at least sew
enty-five delegates at Saltwater from
the Zenith City. Which will be the
first union to elect delegate? Come
now, get busy. DO your duty. You
will never miss the money. 1t will be
like bread cast upon the waters, .
and it will return to you an even hun.
dred fold.
