John Allen, a foreman employed by
the Chicago Edison company, received
a fatal shock of 5000 volts of cleo
tricity recently i'll view of many per-
sons while working in an electrical
vault at Clark and Lake streets. When
the man touched the cable a blue
flame flashed high and Allen fell back
ward. Thousands were attracted to
the corner when the dying man was
lifted to the street. The crowds be-
came so large that dozen policemen
under Sergeant Timothy Mahoney
beat back the throng while three ply
sicians made efforts to save Aliens
life. Before the great throng Rev. T.
Mclaughlin of st. Jerome's Catholic
church administered the last rites Of
the church to the dying man. The
streets were congested, traffic was
stopped, and the electric car lines
were at a standstill when the crowd
parted to let the priest pass to his
side. With motion Father McLough-
lin signaled for the physicians to stop
work while he performed the last
rites. With his head uncovered
Father Mclaughlin gave the condi-
tional absolution and extreme JUNCTION.
Hundreds of those in the crowd who
understood the situation uncovered
and lowered their heads in prayer
while the rites were being performed.
Allen died shortly after being taken
to the Grace hospital. a

THERE 10 YET WORK,

1t is to be hoped that the prominent
citizens who worked so vigorously for
public morality and civic righteous
ness prior to the recent municipal
election will not consider that they
have done their full duty, but that
they will continue their campaign.
Specimens of virtue just prior to cleo
lions are suspicious. The really good
citizen carries on his work after cleo
ton as we'll as before. The gentle
men whom the people Of this city re-
fused to follow should not be chagrined
or discouraged. 1t does not follow
that because their candidate was de-
feated that they have no influence
In the community. We suspect that
the majority of those who voted
against their wishes did so not be-
cause they distrusted their sincerity
or purpose. but because they doubted
the soundness Of their Judgment. The
election should not cause leading citi-
zens to cease participating in munich
pal affairs, but it should teach them
to avoid making invidious compari-
sons just before election. 1t is ex-
tremely distasteful to the ordinary
man to have another assume the posi-
ton of guardian of his morals. The
movement in Minneapolis met the fate
OF similar movements in other cities.
The effort to make people good by law
has always failed. Committees OF
leading citizens have never been
convincing force in municipal affairs.
In the first place such committees
always have some members whose
records are subject to attack. Then,
again. such committees usually try to
force conviction because Of the promi-
nence of the workers rather than the
force of their arguments. In the re-
cent municipal campaign in Mime
apolis the surfeit Of responsibility was
nauseating. There is a good field
wherein these gentlemen can continue
their work with a great deal more
chance of success than they had prior
to election. They can, if they will,
corporate with the mayor-elect in an
effort to give the city the very best
administration. They can do this not
by finding fault and calling upon the
mayor to do impossible things, but by
cooperating with him to 90 those
things which are possible. A munich
pal administration is at best but an
approximation at right. Good munich
pal government is in a measure a COM
promise between the good and the evil
forces that exist in every city. If the
good forces are entirely neglected and
the evil given full swing the adminis-
tration is bad one. If the forces
of. evil are invited to do their worse
and no attempt is made to regulate
and control them, the administration
will be a failure because it ATTEMPTED
to be too good.

be to look for legislation in the inter-
ests Of a class. The organization Of
such party would surely lead to the
organization Of another party for the
purpose Of opposing the Labor Party.
The result would be a division of the
citizens Of the country along class
lines. Such a condition would be UNI
American. It is we'll that the Fedora
ton of Labor has had the foresight
to prevent such condition. People
Of all classes owe debt of gratitude

GOVERNOR OF RHODE ISLAND.

One of the notable results of the
last election was the election Of James
FL. Higgins to the governorship Of the
state OF Rhode Island. Mr.. Higgins is
but thirty years Of age, graduate Of
Georgetown University, and ex-mayor
of Pawtucket. The event is remark
able because James Fl. Higgins is an
Irish Catholic and because the state
of Rhode island was until recently
the most bitterly anti-Catholic COM
munlty in the United States. The
change is due somewhat to enlishten-
ment. but to a greater extent to a
change in the population. 1t is prob
able that the Catholics are nearly, if
not quite, q majority OF the people OF
the state of Rhode Island. This grea,
change has come about in the last
fifty years through the great develop
ment of the Industrial centers, Provi-
dence, that was formerly center of
anti Catholic feeling. is now a great
Catholic city.
The success of this young man op-
posed by the whole Republican ma
chine, including the great power OF
Senator Aldrich and the Immense COR
porations with which he is connected
either in a business way or through
family relations, is due to the efforts
Of Mr.. Higgins himself and the able
assistance Of his law partner and long
time friend. John Fitzgerald. Mr..
Fitzgerald is an ex-mayor of Paw
tucket and last year was the Demo-
cratic candidate for governor of Rhode
Island. Fitzgerald was beaten, but
his friend and law partner Higgins has
been elected. These two young men
are fine types of what the Catholic
ought to be in politics. Both are able:
more important than that, both are
honest and fearless and command the
respect of those who know them. A
term in the governorship of Rhode
Island Is but a year. The ONCE has
never amounted to much except the
honor Rhode Island has gained the
unenvfable distinction under the rule
OF Aldrich and his lieutenants of be-
ing called the Rotten borough"
If we mistake not this young man
from Georgetown University, VINO has
just been elected to the governorship,
will make that Office of some import-
ance. He knows how to fight and he
will fight. The people of Rhode
Island look to him to destroy the power
of the corrupt Republican machine
that has furnished to the United States
Senate much Of the brains and wealth
that has been Used to defeat the best
interests Of the people. It is big
task for boycof thirty. but those who
know him best think that he is eoua,
to the task.

THE LABOR CONVENTION.

The convention of the Federation OF
Labor now in session in Minneapolis
is an event of scarcely less import
ance than the election recently held
Those unfamiliar with the work or
union labor can not appreciate what
an effective force the Federation OF
Labor is. The convention now in ses-
sion i'll Minneapolis is composed of
delegates from all unionized crafts OF
the country. 1t is the nlouthpiece OF
Intelligent high-claas labor. 1t is a
legislative body whose enactments are
of scarcely less Importance than those
of the legislatures of the different
states. 1t is the body which creates
administrative officers whose execu-
tive acts arc more powerful than
those OF the governor Of any state.
1t is the body which has in it's keep
ing tho welfare OF very large pro-
portion of the people Of this country.
It is the body upon the wisdom of
whose acts depends in large measure
the future destiny of labor. 1t can by
wise action continue union labor as All
elevating and civiltzing force, or it car,
by ill-considered and radical action
check it's onward march. Union labor
is an Institution that has come to
stay. It has already accomplished so
much for civilization and humane
mics must admit that it has been
force for good.
1t is particularly gratifying to those
who are the real friends of union
labor that its delegates in convention
assembled have decided against organ
izing political party. Union labor
can accomplish more for its adherents
by remaining non-political than it
could by producing the antagonisms
that would be sure to follow upon the
of a Union Labor Party.
It should never be the aim or object
of union labor to create class hatreds.
1t should not allow itself to become a
tool in the hands of designing poll
ticians. In the past. in some !ocali-
ties. unionism has suffered because Of
the class Of men that have spoken In
its name. II union labor will always
continue to follow such leaders as
Gompers and Mitchell it's future Is as
sured. 1t is important not only to
those who labor in the different crafts
represented, but it is important to
every citizen that the American Fed
Grafton Of Labor should be wisely and
Differed. In the hands
of dishonest demagogues it might be-
come force dangerous to the coun-
try, as it certainly would become de-
structive to the best interests of the
