DULUTH HEIGHTS GOSSIP.

Revival services have been held at
the church during the past week and
will be continued all through next
week. Much interest is being taken
in the services and there seems to
be deep spiritual thought aroused.
All are invited and cordially well
come.
The mock trial at the fire hall last
Saturday evening was one of the hits
Of the season on the Heights. The
case was the People of the Heights VS..
Leroy Coons, and throughout the trial
up. c. A. Marshall and J. H. NJ. Park
er were attorneys for the state, while
Charles Merritt and w. P. Fennelt were
barcisters- for the defense. J. o. Walk
er and Paul Boileau acted as judges.
Many witnesses were examined and
each tried to out do the other in telling
falsehoods. The jury rendered YER
dict for the defense, and recommended
that the assistant attorney for the
state, J. H. M. Parker, be indicted for
conspiracy. .::.
The crowd was with the defense and
many of the people seemed thoroughly
In earnest while listening to the pro-
ceedings. OF course the usual crit
icism at. the verdict was heard, but
everybody was satisfied that the at
fair was a marked success. The at
torneys acquitted themselves with
credit. $: l, r
G.. A. MARSHALL left Wednesday at
ternoon on business trip to Ironwood
and Ashland. He will return today.
Say We haven't any friends? While
we were sick there was scarcely a day
when some kind neighbor did not bring
us some fresh eggs, butter, milk and
nice delicacies. We can't tell here how
we appreciate the kindness, 1t will al

Of the Duluth Heights news in this COL

DULUTH HEIGHTS GOSs|P
BRIEF AND SOCIAL news
Personal Feelings Should Be
Cast Aside and q Good Vote.
Polled for McEwen.
Vote for Your Homes and Your
Firesides-Hurrah for the
Heights.

There remains but ten days between
now and election. We are looking for
ward to an endorsement from the peo-
pie Of the Heights that will forever es-
tablish the claim of this people for q
representative in the city council.
We do not ask the support of the
voters of Duluth Heights because Of
any charms in our personality. It is
purely a business proposition. WE
recognize that there are some amongst
us who have g. personal dislike for US,
but this should be overlooked from q
public spirit standpoint. We can't
please everybody. The man never lived
our utmost to please the greatest num-
Der In the. community.
We don't expect a unanimous vote
because there are some who cannot
get away from party prejudice, but we
shall be disappointed if we do not re-
ceive handsome vote from this peo-
pie.
Should We be defeated for reelection,
and this don't seem lmfnent. the de-
feat will not bother us, but it will mean
great deal to the progress Of the
Heights for no nonresident alderman,
no matter how many. pledges he may
make, will be able to- do for the Heights
what home alderman can do.
He will be beyond your reach, where
you cannot jump onto him every day,
like you can on us when you meet US
on street car. There is nothing that
makes a politician busy so much as
an occasional roast.
Let everybody hurrah for the
Heights! That is the slogan SO far as
this people are concerned in this cam
paign. Let us vote for our homes and
our f1resides. Let us be alive to our
own interest. 1888.
And by the way; do not forget DR..
Cullum. His administration has been
a clean one, and he Is deserving of a.
renewal of our trust.

best interest Of ALL the people. OPP
ponents Of union labor who have been
watching my course with q critical
eye all admit that have been exceed
tngly broad on this matter;
In the matter of ward improvements
have labored for new sidewalks, more
electric lights and improved streets
and roadways with more or: less sue
cess. These have been secured as fast
as the public funds would permit. ior
the past two years the city has been
very short OF money In the Public
Works fund and but few improvements
could be made but conditions are more
promising for this year. Already pro-
vision Is being made for number of
electric lights and better illumlned
streets throughout the ward may be
expected.

noting the detail work for the upper
hill side water system and if the
people vote favorably on the proposed
bond issue I confidently expect to see
lie new system under way during the
coming season.
: The council is soon to be called upon
to make new contract for street
lighting. AS 4 condition of this con-
tract 1t should be the aim of the pub
lie officials to get concessions from the
electric lighting company so that the
people may be assured of cheap light
for their homes. pledge myself, if re-
elected, to work faithfully and earnest
ly to this end.

you to faithfully work in the interest
of all the people.

LAB0R'S CHAMPION.
BY the Rev. Charles SteIzIe.

Would it not be great thing for the
workingman to have as his champion
a leader who is practically the court
of the last appeal on the social ques-
ton?
There is such man. One time he
was carpenter He knows about the
difficulties that confront the toiler.
While he lived upon earth two thous-
and years ago, his influence and power
today are such that no man living
dares set himself in open histility to
his reign. No king or ruler in the civ
iHzed world would think of prohibiting
the homage which men universally
accord him. If he should attempt to
do so there would be an instant re-
belllon which neither court nor army
could SUPPRESS.
Forgetting for the moment the ques-
ton of Jesus Christ's divinity and his
claims upon the lives Of men, the tre-
mendous significance of the fact that
he Is ''our" man, should appeal most
strongly to the wOrkingmen.
He Is one man who will be listened
to by the world including those who
in many cases are unfriendly to labor.
Some time ago a book entitled what
Would Jesus Do?" was written by c.
Western preacher. So eager are peo-
pie; to learn what he would do in the
industrial and the social world. that no
other book in modern times. with the
exception of the bible, has had such a
sale.
Why not invite him to unite with
your labor union Ask him to sit upon
the platform Of your meetings. Take
your place behind him and permit him
to speak ior you. Quote him as your
authority. 40 man has ever spoken
stronger words of condemnation to
those who are mistreating the COM
mon people. others have attempted to
serve as champions of workingmen,
but they have not been listened to by
those who most needed their message.
Here is a man who will compel atfkn-
ton. You need never again quote the
political economists. Quote Jesus
Christ. He will unhinge the doors of
the oppressor's kingdom and open the
way for his own dominion. And that
dominion will be one >of truth, Of JUS
tice, and Of Righteousness. :. .L.sS
If the capitalist and others have
taken Christ away from the common
people, let US present our claims upon
him, for he is our man.

A Typographical Union was formed
at Brownwood early last month, and
before any demands were presented,
before the master printers knew what
the union men wanted. the master
printers locked them out. Brown
wood is q small city, but pros
porous one. The master printers seem
to have great deal Of influence there
and the merchants apparently toady
to them. "A letter received from
there January /, 1905, says that
among other tactics the master print
Of the union is to get the merchants
to refuse credit to the printers or
to even give them the privilege of
getting provisions even when collat-
eral security has been furnished.
This is the kind of organization the
printers are flghting-one that will
have it's own way even If to do so
means to wage war on women and
children and to deprive them of food.
Such tactics, gentlemen, will not
avail. 1t will not gain for you public
sympathy. If you expect to win you
must convince the public that the re-
ques" for an eight hour day is an
unreasonable demand. Meet us
squarely on this issue. This you will
be compelled to do, If not today,
later on, and the public will be the
judges. We, as union printers, are
willing now to leave the verdict with
the public as to whether we are ask
