The only loss the city will sustain by
reason of the proceedings to prevent the
merger Of the city and county treas.
uries, at least up to the middle of May,
is the expense entailed by maintaining
a separate staff of clerks in the city
treasurer's Office. Under the new char.
ter Treasurer Hennings would have
drawn his full pay up to the expiration
Of his term in May, and in all proba
bility the supreme court will render a
decision concerning the validity of the
merger act within the next sixty days
At the same time the attempt to block
the consolidation of the city and county
treasures, which was designed to effect
a saving as well as greater convenience
for taxpayers, will scarcely meet with
popular approval.

According to President Schurman, this
lis a generation which has no fear of God
before it's eyes; it fears no hell; it fears
nothing but the criminal court, the peni-
Tertiary and the scarold. To escape these
ugly avengers of civil society is its only
categorical imperative, the only law with
which its Sinai thunders. Somebody
ought to give President Schurman a good
dyspepsia remedy and brighten up his out
look.

The Prussian statistical department has
just published some instructive particulars
relating to suicides in the country during
the past year. While the aggregate number
of suicides has decreased somewhat, the
number of women who put an end to their
own lives seems to be on the increase. The
percentage of women suicides has risen
from 1876 Of the whole number in 1901 TO rs.
II is suggested by some German writers
who have discussed the subject that If
women continue to take part in the struggle
for life, and enter on new occupations, the
number OF them who commit suicide must
be expected to increase. The official stats
ties assign no cause for nearly one-fifth OF
the total number of suicides. Temporary
insanity causes one-fourth. the deaths ot
10 per cent are attributed to sorrow s per
cent to remorse shame and the stings of
conscience, and nearly 10 per cent to the
ravages Of alcohol.

NIAGARA CONVENTION
PLEASES CARPENTERS
Largest Convention Of Carpenters
Now Being Held at Niagara
Falls.
Splendid Financial Condition Of
Organization Inspires Local
Members.

Local members of the Carpenters
and ship builders unions are watch
ing with interest the progress OF the
convention of the United Brotherhood
of Carpenters and Joiners, now being
held at Niagara Falls.
A general revision of the national
constitution Is planned and vast
change in the business methods of the
organization is contemplated, Secre.
tary Duffy advised the organization of
an emergency fund to take care Of
unions in trouble. A remarkable
statement in Mr.. Duffys report was
that of the deaths in the union for
the past two years 20.80 per cent was
from tuberculosis.
Business Agent George Davis of
Duluth received letter from J. w.
Hatch of the Superior Carpenters
who is attending the convention. He
says that there are $50 delegates at
the convention coming from practi-
cally all of the important cities and
towns in the United States and Can
ada.
Mr.. Hatch states that it was great
convention, and that it was a fact to
be regretted that Duluth had no rep
resentation. General comment was
caused among the delegates by this
lack of representation on the part of
the Duluth carpenters. The letter
stated that the sentimen of the con.
venion seemed to be that several
changes in the constitution should be
made, and it seemed likely to Mr..
Hatch that standing committee
would be appointed to make a general
revision of nthe constitution, and to
recommend such changes as they
deemed necessary. The Northwestern
delegates have been pushing the pro-
ject to make St. Paul the next meet
ing place of the brotherhood, and the
prospect of procuring the convention
for that city looked good to Mr..
Hatch at the time.
The National Carpenters union has
enjoyed very prosperous growth
during the last two years, and a SUBJ
stantial increase in membership is
shown by the report of the secretary,
although slight decrease is noted in
the actual number of unions. There
were 1913 local unions in June 80,
1905, and a total membership Of 161,-
205. On June 30, 1906, the number of
local unions had decreased t. 1,748,
but the total membership was 170,192,
an increase Of 1887 in the two years.
The decrease in the number of unions
is accounted for by the fact that many
of the unions in the citeis have con-
solidated.
The total receipts Of the National
Carpenters union for the year were
3QQQ 6QQ vhj1n tho total evnonaoo
amounted to $690,404, leaving a bal
ance of 10000. OF the expenses
$380,698 was paid out for deaths
and disabilities, $127,s13 for strikes
and lockouts, $137,857 for organizing
of unions, $30,2s0 to the support Of
other organizations and $114,303 for
all other expenses of the organiza-
tion.

the house to protect his record, and
then to lobby against it in the senate
would be less vacillating as the gov
ernor Of Minnesota?
The people will not be deceived.
Gov. Johnson has filled the bill to their
satisfaction. He has made good
governor, Single handed and alone he
has brought about many favorable
changes In the political and economic
conditions OF the state. He has not
gone about with brass band beasting
Of his efficiency, but In the even tenor
Of his way he has done some great
good. He has accomplished more in
two years, than little frigid man like
Cole could do in a life time.
Coles only salvation is In appealing
to the prejudiees and passions of men
with glittering promises which never
can be fulfilled, and hoping that the
normal Republican vote will land him
"'~"A A'S AAAct1o1 ABILITY III the Office
OF governor. But the people of Min
nesota are an intelligent people. Party
prejudiees will no longer sway their
Judgment. Party bosses can no more
lead them about in blindness. They
have found that party machines are
detrimental to good government; that
they receive their campaign funds from
corrupt sources, because no machine
can move without money, and these
questionable interests must be sustain
ed in the legislature by special privil-
eye laws as payment for services
rendered during the campaign.
Two years of Gov. Johnson's aAzais,-
fstration has demonstrated chat the
State Of Minnesota, tree from machine
rule, has better government and more
consistent enforcement of laws, than
formerly. The people have learned
that bosses in politics can only be de-
storyed by the assertion of independ-
erce In voting. For this reason and 4
hundred others just as important Gov.
johnson ought to be reelected in No
vember.

ca3acity, the author has evolved a

many partakes Of novelty in the ex.

has developed a new analysis of the

women, and from his point of view,
they are artistic in their desig upon

ANOTHER PROMISE FROM COLE

The most amusing political promise
ever given out by a Republican can
didate for governor of Minnesota was
uttered this week by candidate A. l..
Cole
In reply to Gov. Johnsons able
speech at Red Wing, Mr.. Cole said that
II he was elected governor OF this
commonwealth he would send all rail-
road rate rebaters to JAIL
Just think Of it. After forty-five
years of Republican rule in this state
Moses has been found In the partv
Of trust and criminal business incen-
ton who promiss to deliver the people
from the throes Of railroad discrim-
ination by sending officials to jail.
This, too, from q candidate for gov
ernor who owes his nomination to the
influence Of the Steel Trust and the
railroads, for 1t is generally admitted
that the defeat of Jacobson, the sim
cere and consistent advocate Of rate
REFORM and the nomination of Cole
were brought about through the innu-
ence of the very interests the Repub-
Hcan candidate is now assailins.
AS between Jacobson and Cole
there Is no comparison. The political
life OF the former has been free from
faint and corporate influence. He ha,
been on the firing line against the biz
corporations and in behalf Of the peo-
pie ever since his advent into politics
On the other hand tho life Of the lat

COWARDlY ATTACKS ON COMP
ERS

AS the result of the political cam
paign waged against Congressman Lit
tlefeld by the American Federation OF
Labor the Republican daily papers give
utterance to their alarm by the pub
ltcation of scathing criticisms Of Presi-
dent Samuel Gompers and the circula-
ton of false stories that he and John
Mitchell have fallen out.
They are attempting to inform the
public that the fight against Little
field and other congressman who have
opposed the demands of union labor
in the nations law making body is the
result of the personal dislike Of Mr..
Gompers.
Why can the truth not be told? Mr..
Gompers is but the instrument. Lit
tlefeld and his associates did not at
Dor movement Of America Of which
Mr.. Gompers Is the acknowledged and
duly elected executive.
When Gompers went into Maine to
oppose the election Of Littlefield he
was acting for the men of organized
labor throughout America, and Mr.
Gompers Of New York had as much
right to enter a congressional contest
IL Maine as did Mr.. Cannon Of Illinois
or Mr.. Beveridge of Indiana.
Speaker Cannon attempted to ridi-
Guile the idea Of citizen Of New York
going into a Maine fight, but he
thought little Of the fact that a citizen
Of Illinois was doing the same thing.
Mr.. Cannon's inconsistency Is only ex-
ceeded by his arrogance as speaker of
the house, particularly in the dispen-
sation of laws of value to working
men.
When the American Federation OF
resort it became Mr.. Gompers' duty
Labor was driven into politics as a last
t. head the political movement, and
any union workingman who does not
stand behind him In this mighty strug
gle is unworthy Of membership In the
American labor movement.
The issue might as we'll become plain
row as at any time Mr. Gompers is
not sensitive although we imagine he
has swallowed many a bitter pill be-
cause of his fidelity to the cause, but
no newspaper or politician can insult
Mr.. Gompers for his attitude in this
political campaign without insulting
the movement he represents in the
contest. When they attack Gompers
they mean to attack you. For policy's
sake they do not want to incite your
wrath, and so they attempt to mislead
You by making it a personal matter
with Mr.. Gompers. You have chosen
him to lead the struggle and now II
Is your duty to stand at his back and
support him.
