Are Promising.

The statement was made today that
the bricklayers did not quit work on

were employed solely with the view or

itself was the open shop. And II was

Union Plumbers Leaving.
The Master Plumbers Association held
a meeting yesterday. but none OF the
members would give out any infOrmR-
ton about what took place. From a
source considered trustworthy 1t was
leaned this morning that one OF the
subjects discussed was the impending
exodus OF the unemployed union
plumbers now in the city. There IS a
scarcity OF competent plumbers IN New
York, Philadelphia. and Chicago, and
the demand here for competent plumbers
is increasing. II the present tie-up

the latter mechanics are not numerCus

sailing for the master plumbers
Three buildings on which WOrh stopped
the first of the week because Of the
presence of nOn-uuion plumbers are
again under way, the nOn-uniOn plumb
ers having been supplanted by union
men.
Demand for Bricklayers.
There Is a demand for bricklayers. and
those who have walked out from build
ings where ron-union plumbers were at
work have found job waiting for them
on the Union Station, the office buildings
for the House and Senate. the new
building for the Agricultural Depart
ment and other large structures.
There is a feeling today among the
members Of the building trades unions
that an adjustment OF all troubles viii
shortly be made by the master plumbers
consenting 20 submit the matter 20 arbl-
tration.
The master plumbers still insist that
they are satisfied with the situation
and that so far as they are concerned
there IS nothing 10 aTbitrate, and that
they have no interest In the troubles OF
the master builders.

addendum is seldom reached 1t is like
the coloring matter for butter-if the
natural product is OF the required
shade it is not used, but should it turn
out pale and uninviting in appearance
then some of the artificial material is
added to deceive the eye. The ques-
ton Of emigration is worthy of high
err place in our. thoughts and works,
and until it is placed in its proper pc.
sition, as the most important question
of all, very little can be done to
staunch the bleeding wound of our
country.
There is just one other contributory
agent I should like to refer to before
closing. 1t is that worst of all dis
content breeders-the letter home from
the exile. These episties are couched
in terms of such, extravagant praise
of the country Of adoption, no matter
where it may be, shat 1t inspires an
irresistible longing in the hearts of the
neglected children at home to hasten
to the land of money and pleasure, and
when they do give. effect to this long,
ing, what Disappointment are in store
for them at the other: side? The dol
lars are acquired at so enormous an
expense of energy. that, the anticipated
pleasures and ADJUSTMENTS are but a
mockery. Their establishment is COM
plete, the Wanted freedom spoken Of
in letters to Ireland is but slavery, and
they inwardly wish for a sight of the
green hills surrounding the home they
SO foolishly left. But do they, when
writing, disclose the true facts? Oh,
no; they do unto others as has been
done unto them; and their letters home
are gilt with the same lying verbiage.
why is this. you WIN ask? Because
their patriotism is but a veneer; they
do not understand what patriotism
means. This is due 70 that ridicu,,lou.
family pride which have previously
dealt with in another connection, and
which must be stamped out before any

the voters. Fosseen in the heat Of ar
gument attacked Gjertson for voting
against the reciprocal demurrage bill,
whereupon Gjertson retorted:
Il did vote against the bill. When
the bill passed the house some fifteen
or sixteen house members rushed to
the senate chamber to lobby against
it. OUR sTANDARD-BEARE IN
THIS CAMPAIGN 1MPoRTUNED
ME-: FOR GODS SAKE. KILL THE
BILL: 1T is PERNICIoUs LEG1s-
LAT1oN!'"
Probably the bill would have been
killed without Mr.. Coles timely assist
ance, but the incident shows a duplicity
one scarcely expects to find in a cam
didate for the highest place In the gift
of the people of Minnesota. II Mr..
Cole honestly believed the bill to be
vicious legislation why did he not have
the moral courage to vote against 1t in
the house? A legislature with sincere
convictions will play fair with his con-
stituents. He will be honest. These
primary virtues are not shown in Mr..
Coles attitude on the demurrage bill
He kept his record straight by voting
for the bill, and then deliberately stah-
bed 1t in the back bv asking his sem
atorial friends to kill 1t.
Do the farmers of the state want a
governor who will pose as their friend
and use his influence on the sly to
favor the railroads and his other cor
porate friends? This is a question of
Importance to the voters who insist
upon restraining corporate greed and
rapacity. Judging from Mr.. Coles rec
ord on the demurrage bill, can he be
trusted to care for the peoples in
terests in the improbable event of his
election as governor?

COLE AND THE DEMuRRAeE BILL.
Tho Republican Candidates. LssisIa-
tive Record Being Investigated.

Since Candidate Cole made his key
note" speech at the little town Of Ken
yon the other day there has been a
quiet investigation of his railroad rec
ord in the legislature, and again it is
found that Mr.. Colo and his managers
are claiming great deal of glory
searchlight of fact. For instance Mr..
Coles press bureau has been busy for
some weeks telling the farmers of the
yeoman service he performed in his be-
half of the Nolan reciprocal demurrage
bill. 1t will be remembered that this
was a bill to regulate the movement of
freight cars, and particularly to COM
pei the railroad companies to pay de-
murrage to the shippers when cars
were not supplied within a reasonable
time. According to the terms Of this
measure the demurrage charge should
be reciprocal" and the local shippers
were to be afforded measure of re-
lief. Farmers and country merchants
in fact the entire rural population
were heartily in sympathy with the
provisions of this bill and the demand
for its passage was SO insistent tina.
only seven members Of the lower house
voted against it. The senate railroad
colnmittee-made up by Ray Jones in
the interest of the railroads-emascu-
lated the bill of every feature afford
ing relief to the farmer end country
shipper, and when the amended bill
came back to the lower house in the
last hour Of the expiring legislature,
the author of the measure, Hon. w. A.
Nolan Of Mower, moved it's indefinite
postponement, since the amendments
tackled on by the senate nullified the
object Of the bill and stripped it OF
every feature designed to afford prompt
shipping facilities to the country
towns.
So much for the history Of one of
the famous fights against the railroad
lobby-a hight which, as inevitable so
long as we have a dcbauched senate,
the farmer lost. But right here is
where the duplicity Of Mr.. Cole, the Re-
publican candidate for governor, is
shown. Mr.. Cole VOTED FOR THE
BILL, as shown by the jouy'al Of the
house. but we have the evidence Of a
Republican senator that Immediately
after the bill was passed by the house.
Mr.. Cole rushed to the senate chamber
and importuned his senatorial friends
to KILL THE BILL BECAUSE IT
WAS VICIOUS LDGIsLATION.
This important bit Of history was
developed at Republican meeting in
the Seventh ward at Minneapolis on
Monday evening. August a.. The two
candidates for the state senate, Henry

THE PRIESTHOOD.
Mon Of Many sides-"Like Priest, Like
.. People,"


OF all the practical problems witt
which the Catholic Church has to deal
perhaps the most serious is that in
volved in the training of secular priest
hood. 1t is the most serious. because
it affects wider issues than any other
like priest, like people," The charac.
ter of her children-their methods OF
thought, their attitude, interior and ex-
terror, toward life and faith-all de-
ponds under God upon the character
method and attitude of thei:. pastors. II
is also almost the most intricate of all
problems, since to the making of the
ideal priest there must go as many ele-
ments as there are needs of the flock to
which he has to minister. He must he a
spiritual man, able to deal with every
conceivable spiritual requirement (and
the interior life is after all far more
subtle and elusive than the natural or
der); he must possess a large number
of natural virtues-geniality, humol.
alertness, discretion and the rest-and
all at least touched by grace; he must
be to some extent man Of business;
he must be able to preserve cheerful
ness in solitude, and dignity among the
crowd; he must know how to hold the
ancient faith without displaying either
ignorance or contempt toward modern
thought; he must be ready to adapt
himself to the standpoint Of each mem
Der of his flock; he must not truckle tc
the rich nor patronize the poor; he
must be slow with the stupid and quick
with the talented, and sympathetic
with all. And, above all, he is neve,
off duty.
Now, it may be confessed without
undue complacency, that, considering
the elaborateness OF the problem, the
church's practical solution is surpris-
ingly brilliant. The very accusations OF
her enemies are the greatest testimon-
les in her favor. Her priests, 1t is said
are both superstitious, seminary bred
Missionaries and brisk men Of the world
both fifppant and solemn; given to
sharp practice and utterly rnbusiness-
like: medieval and fond OF novelties:
pliable and unbending; with all the
faults Of the professional and the frail-
ties Of the amateur. In other words
priests at their best are very much
what they ought to be.
1t is noticeable. too, how the type has
persisted from earliest times to the
present st. Augustine, for example, ie
a kind of apotheosis Of the modern
pastor; and the tales that have come
down to us of the characters and meth
DDS of our ancient spiritual fathers
have strange family likeness to the
histories Of more recent priests.-Dub-

Growth of New York City.

New York, Oct. 12.-According to
computation made by DR.. W, II.
Guilfoy, registrar of records, to the
department of health of this city, in
1910 or earlier, the population of
greater New York will be three times
greater than now. or at least will
be about 100000. According to
the same authority. the city's popu-
lation will be doubled by 1927. Dr..
Guilfoy has based his estimates on
the state census of 1905. and the
federal census of 1900. these show
ing that the growth of the city an
nually is 3.15 per cent compounded.
On June /. 1905. the population OF
the city was 4,014.3O4; on June 1,
1910, It should be 4,700,442; and so
on. On Sept. 1. 1927. there should
be S,O2S,6Os persons living within
the city limits, and on Oct. 12, 1910,
there should be 12,042,912. II the
growth continues as II did for the
last half decade.

The Texas Cotton Crop.

Galveston, Oct. 12.-Though the
recent rains slightly effected the cot
ton crop In this state. 1t Is estimated
by experts that the output will ex-
ceed what was expected. In Mexico
pickers are In great demand at prices
ranging from 65 cents TO s1.OO per
100 pounds. In the Harms section
the gins are kept busy. though a
good deal of trouble is caused from
the want OF pickers. In Kieleen the
yield will be above the average. al
though pickers are scarce. In Oak
wood the crop is double what IL
was expected to be. and merchants
doing big business. In Waller cot
ton is coming IN rapidly and the
town is brisk with farmers laying
in their winter supply. All the raii-
way systems in Texas are suffering
from q car famine. and the worst
feature OF the shortage is the fact
that the business has not yet reached
It's height.
