The business people of the ward
will support Mr. McEwen because
they have confidence in his integrity

In him man Of conservative thought
and action, with whole lot of horse

The workingmen Of the ward, at
least a majority of them, should sup
port Mr. McEwen because he is the
champion of their cause. He fights
their battles daily. This too in the
face of sneers and rebuke by some
people who can not see merit in the
grievances of labor. In the council
Mr.. McEwen has proved himself to
be a consistent supporter OF the de-
sires of labor.
We trust that every friend will do

INJUSTICE TO LABOR.
The manifest Injustice accorded

ne manifest injustice accorded to
the laboring man is evident to every
student of economic conditions. Most
strikes are entered into by unions in
the hope of lettering the condition
Of those involved. 1t is also plain
that on questions of this kind only
one side of the matter is looked at.
We mean by that when the question
of labor is taken into consideration
the first impulse of the employer is
in most cases to entirely reject the
proposition submitted without first
considering the justice of it. Then
follows the cessation Of work, the
loss Of time and money by both sides
and the consequent bitterness engen-
dered by the procedure.
In any line of business there are
several elements entering into the
make up of the cost of production.
Sometimes labor constitutes the
greatest percentage of cost while at
other times the material therein
amounts to as much as the labor.
Take for instance a simple illustra-
ton the printing of 1000 letter
heads: The cost of the paper, that
is for q good fair quality, is $500,
the composition, press work, tabbing,
cutting and delivering, costs about
$3.50: more and that with fair pro-
tit brings the selling price at $3.50.
We make this statement to illustrate
the point we wish to make farther on.
Now as we said before, when labor

City Comptroller Mccormick still
persists in striking the per capita
bonded indebtedness of the city by
adding the general indebtedness to
that of our water system. There is
absolutely no justice in his position.
The interest and principal of the gen.
eral bonded indebtedness are paid
out of the city treasury, but that of
the water system must come out of
the earnings of the gas an dwater
plant. The circulation of the re-
port that the per capita Indebtedness
of the city amounts to $73.05 does
the credit of Duluth no good. If his
contention was correct, why would
1t not also be right to add the in
debtedness of the public service cor
porations for whom we are more or
less responsible and which are doing
business under franchise from the
city? There is just as much logic
in this as there is in even mention
ing the fact that our per capita in
debterness is so high

j. Adam Bede struck popular
chord in this district when he took
an independent position against the
Republican organization in Con-
gress in opposition to the joint state
hood bill. Mr.. Bede says that it is
politics which is prompting the Re-
publican leaders to insist upon the
admission Of the territories of New
Mexico and Arizona as one state.
They fear that some day these states
may go Democratic and will aid in
the control of the United States
Senate. Well, if this isn't the small
est kind of peanut politics to come
from statesmen. And Bede, ridiculed
by some, has proven that he is a
bigger man than his critics. He got
his training in the Democratic party.
So that accounts for his good judg-
ment at this time.

HYPOCRISY OF EMPLOYERS

The manner in which some oppres-
sive employers of labor appeal to
the teachings of Christianity in de-
Tense of their conduct Is no less re-
markable than 1t is disgusting.
Hypocrisy shines in every word used
by unjust employers for such a pur-
pose. Even Deacon Baer, who claim
led that the Almighty had appointed
him to look after the money inter-
ests of this country, can not convince
any sane mind that the Almighty
sanctions oppression of the laborer.
Even pagan philosophy condemns the
inhumanity displayed by some en-
ployers towards their employees.
Plutarch, in his observations of the
elder Cato, says:
For my part I cannot but charge
his using his servants like so many
beasts of burden, and turning them
OFF, or selling them when they grow
old, to the account of a mean and I'M
gerous spirit which thinks that the
sole tie between man and man is In
terest or necessity. But goodness

equity reach only mankind. but kind
ness and beneficence should be ex-

at liberty the beasts of burden that

work, suffering them to pasture at

said that one of these afterwards
came back of it's own accord to work
and putting itself at the head of
the laboring cattle, marched before
them to the citadel. This pleased the
people, and they made a decree that
1t should be kept at the public charge

ought not to treat living creatures
like shoes or household goods, which
when worn out with use, we throw
away; and were it only to learn
benevolence to humankind, we
should be merciful to other creatures.

CAN'T GET THE FIGURES.

The assertion made by John
Christie last week that the last six
months OF 1905 showed rs per cent
increase in his business, which was
intended to convey the impression
that the printers strike had not af-
fected him has been proved to be
just "hot air. We called upon him
in our last issue to produce the fig
ures but so far he has not done so.
We just happen to know that he
could not make his bluff stick on
the terms we named. We are will
ing to admit or rather take his word
for it, that the months of July, Aug
ust and September did show a large
increase, because at that time the
shop was under union rules and had
an exceedingly capable foreman, but
October, November and December
will, we are sure, show very large
decrease over the first three months.
The "hot air. was only intended to
deceive the general public who were
not aware of the facts in the case.
We know that these periodical vapor-
ings of the Chief Sailor are very
obnoxious to other members of the
Typothetae, but they don't appear
to be able to hold him down.

DEATH OF ABBOTT BLUNT.

Abbott Blunt, Editor of the News
Tribune, died Monday morning at St.
Mary's hospital In Minneapolis, after
short illness. He had been COM
planning for some time, but it was
not thought by his friends that his
ailing was serious enough to cause
his death. Mr.. Blunt had been in
Duluth but one year, and during
that time he had endeared himself
to a host of good friends who are
sorely grieved because of the loss of
his fellowship.
Abbott Blunt was our friend. He
was one of those kind of men who
! get right to your heart from the be-
ginning A friendship grew between
US that ripened into comradeship.
We went on pleasure jaunts togeth-
er, and we grew to know something
Of the inner character of the man.
Then it was we learned to appreciate
his true worth. He was all man.
To speak Ill of another was not in
his line. His disposition was low
able In every sense of the word.
AS an editorial writer he was log
ical, forcible and convincing. His
style was peculiarly his own-clear
and entertaining. In his profession
he ranked among the best, with few
equals and no superiors.
His long experience az an editor
Of Minnesota newspapers put him in
possession of facts governing almost
every phase of the social, political
and Industrial life Of the state. An
opinion from him could be regarded
as authority.
Farewell, friend Abbott! We will
miss your companionship, but you
left us a lesson of patience, love and
truth that we will try to emulate
through life, and which will keep
your memory ever fresh in our mind.

that no novices shall get the inside
track on them during the coming

and expect to stay in the game late.
A hot scrap is expected to develop in

fear the action OF the gentlemen is
premature. They may start talk
among the voters which will en-
courage opposition to them, Par
ticularly will this be true in the con-

The voters of the Fifth ward are
to nave an opportunity next Tuesday
to endorse or condemn the clean

lhs' will endorse him is a foreeone
conclusion. A close canvass of the

By splendid majority.

pure wafer, but no Alderman has had
the energy to push the matter. Now
that the water works is within their
grasp they are not going to turn

WHY DIR. CULLUM SHOULD BE

This is the last issue OF the Labor

teresting. Business suffered nc
dearth because of any enthusiasm
over the election. The quiet at
titude of the voters renders it i'm.
possible for any reliable forecast Of
the general outcome of the election
suffice to say that DR.. Cullum's cleo.
ton has resolved itself into a mere
question of majority. Most of the
ward contests, while exciting in one
or two instances, will lie in doubt
until after the votes are counted
Tuesday evening.
We are practically interested in
the election of Mayor Cullum for the
sake of the fair name of the city
We want to see the present sensible
administration of the citys Affairs
continued. We want to be surround
led by the present splendid moral
atmosphere for just two years more.
We want to be blessed with the peace
and quiet Of clean city life, with
a graftless police force
Here criminals find no harbor.
Foot pads, pick pockets, burglars,
highwaymen and the professional
lawless kind are given no ground,
and so soon as they land their feet
upon our city streets they are hustl-
ed out of town. Why? Simply be-
cause there is honest government in
Duluth. We have students of GRIM
inalogy at the head Of our. police
force who make 1t a practice to keep
acquainted with the outlaws of the
country. Their photographs are
studied, and in very few instances
do any of them succeed in plying
their work here.
From a business standpoint too,
do we want to see DR.. CulIum again
preside over the destiny Of Duluth.
His election means economy in gov
eminent. It also means honesty in
the management of the city affairs,
and that is the most particular thing
We want here.
There are a hundred sensible rea-
sons why DR.. Cullum should be re-
elected. There are also as MANY
reasons why his opponent should not
be elected 1t is understood that
some Of Mr.. Trevillion's ardent
friends are attempting to lineup the
saloon keepers with the scare that
If DR.. Cullum is reelected he would
put the lid on the city, and that
when the ministers endorsed him he
made that promise. This political
buncombe is too ridiculous to an
swer. Those who know DR.. Cullum.
know how much of promise he
would make to anyone to get their
votes.

suEgests an advance in Its product
st Is told that 1t cannot have it be-
cause it will make the finished pro-
duct cost the customer too much.
But when the manufacturers of paper
and printing material, ETC., find that
owing to certain conditions of the
market It is absolutely necessary to
advance the cost of their product, the
boss Is from force of circumstances
compelled to comply with the de-
mand or else go without the material.
There are no "scabs" to be found
whereby supply can be had to drive
the other people out of business. The
laboring man therefore is compelled
to pay tribute to these manufacture
ers in the shape of lower wages in or
der that the dear public may not be
robbed by the employer His family
must be deprived of certain advanta-
ges that could be had by proper COM
pensation for their labor by the COM
binati0ns of all the lines of business
which sell the material that go to
make up the cost, outside of labor, of
the 1000 letter heads. II the Typo
thetae had the welfare of their Gus
toners at heart they would also COM
bine to try and break up the Type
Founders Trust, also the Paper
Trust, then they would be throwing
off the leeches who are sucking the
life blood Of the laboring man by
their unjust exactions. But no, they
are today receiving indirectly contri-
buttons from these same trusts, to
combat the printers so that it will
give them good excuse to raise the
price Of their product, If the Typo
thetae should succeed In breaking up
the Typographical union. While we
have used the printers case as an il
lustration the same principle can be
applied to all classes of trade and
shows the manifest injustice that is
being practiced upon the laboring
