Gossip mongers of the town
should exercise care and caution in
circulating false reports about re-
spectacle residents of the commu-
nifty. Last week pernicious lie
regarding prominent young people
went the rounds of the tongue
waggers and caused the parties
whose characters were being
wrongfully assailed untold grief.
In almost all small towns there is
n certain class that is ever ready
to defame the character or reputa-
ton of some one else, but place
these same parties in the limelight
of publicity and the squirming
under the calcium rays is most
agonizing, to say the least.

WITHER ARE WE DRIFTING?

The sister of w. E. Corey, presi.
dent of the United States Steel cor.
poration made startling statement
in a Nevada court last week when
she was asked if she considered her
brother a fit person to care for his
16year-old son. Miss Corey's reply
was full of interest She said that
no wealthy man in New York was
fit to rear a family.
Think of it. Has the moral status
Of the rich become so low that they
have rendered themselves unfit for
parental duty?
Every time there is shooting
scrape or divorce proceedings among
this class, travelling in it's slime is a
story of lasciviousness and wanton.
ness which is a disgrace to the ma.
ton. Is it not time to ask: "Whith.
er are we drifting?"
When Maxim Gorky, the emissary
of the Russian revolutionists, came to
America his work was discredited be-
cause his travelling companion was a
woman, said not to be his wife. But
Maxim Gorky is a saint compared
with a Corey.
The United States Steel corpora,
ton will cling to Corey, irrespective
of the grave charges preferred against
him by his sister. 1t is only a fair
sample of what the race after the dol.
lar will do. 1t recognizes no moral
law except that which would render
its officers unfit for service
But there is a moral law which
must be recognized by all. The per.
petuity of the nation depends upon
It's observance. The rich must learn
to adhere to it, as we'll as the Door,
II the public conscience is not soon
aroused, may a good God have mercy
on this nation.

BUYING OUTFITS FOR LABOR DAv

BUYING OUTFITS FOR LABOR DAY
Buying uniforms for Labor Day is
quite task among certain labor or.
carnations. Some unions get ride.
ulous at times and spend their money
in outfits that are of no benefit to
them after the parade is over.
We believe that the most sensible
uniform Is that which is worn every
day at work. To the Carpenter, the

blue suit fits the machinist to a nice.

mine leaders to the gallows, but an
Independent labor press, afterwards re
inforced by some of the strongest
American magazines, stirred up such a
mighty fuss, that the erstwhile daring
officials lost their nerve.
Their next move was to postpone
the trial until after the fall election.
The court was easily convinced that
this was the proper course to pursue,
and now the imprisoned mine leaders
must lay in jail awaiting the conven-
fence Of the politicians in power.
We have not discussed the question
of the probably guilt or innocence Of
Mr.. Meyer and his associates. We are
willing that jury Of their fellows
shall determine that question, but we
believe they should be accorded a
speedy trial, and If not they should be
admitted to bail.
In the language Of the Federated
Trades Assembly of Duluth: $1,000, 900
American workingmen are ready to
stand as sponsors for them and guar
antee their appearance in court at the
proper time"
But the Mine Owners association
will never permit the imprisoned mine
leaders to enjoy their liberty during
the coming campaign. Their activity
in western politics might alter the po-
litical program of the conspirators. We
believe that this is the meat in the CO.
coanut. When the elections are over
the case against the defendants will be
dismissed.
Is this not playing politics with a
vengeance?

ARE YOU GOING TO THE CONFER.
ENCE?

The conference of the reform forces
In Minnesota to be held in Mime
apol1s next week promises to be the
most important event of it's nature in
the history of the state.
The purpose of the meeting Is to
organize state league to propagate
the principle of Direct Legislation.
At the Saltwater convention of the
Minnesota State Federation of Labor
resolution was adopted authorizing
the officers to call state conference
OF reform societies. Pursuant to said
resolution the call has been issued
and invitations have been sent to ey-
cry reform society and every indi-
v1dual In the state, whose name could
be secured. Everything points to a
large and enthusiastic gathering.
1t is hoped that Duluth, the most
progressive city in the state, will be
largely and ably represented. Papers
will be read by such men as John A.
Reyes of Duluth, Frank Larabee of
Minneapolis and others.
A plan for propogating the move
ment will be introduced and submit
ted to the conference, after which a
state executive committee will be-
elected, and the good work will be-
pushed with all vigor.
Every candidate for a legislative
position will be questioned on his at
tftude towards this question. Wheth.
er he believes in the Initiative and
Referendum or not he will be asked If
ne Will consent to let the people de-
eide whether or not they desire a
constitutional amendment giving them
the right OF Direct Legislation.
The movement is most worthy, and
Is entitled to the support of every
noerty-loving citizen OF the state.

1t is a well-known fact that when.
ever general improved wage condi.
zion has been effected in any occu-
patton among industrial workers dur.
ing the last half century in America,
1t has been brought about by the
trades-unions. If there were no
unions, would the employers have ad.
vanced wages to anything like the
point at which they stand today? The
wages for workmen as a class, in ev-
cry occupation, have been advanced
only as the result of organization, or
by the opportunities created by those
organizations who were in position
to enforce their demands.

LAsoR's ATTITUDE IN POLITICS.

LAeoR's ATTITUDE IN POLITICS.
The political declaration of the
American Federation Of Labor has
taken a firm hold among the mem
bers Of organized labor. The party
politicians have not as of yet appre-
ciated their danger.
All party lines will be wiped out
OF the labor movement. Union men
who were Republicans, and those who
were Democrats. will hereafter be
union men In politics as they are in
economics.
In the future we shall refuse To
Jump at the crack of the party whip.

LABOR ASKS FOR SPEEDY TRIAL.
Organized labor of Duluth did itself
proud last week when it voted in mass
meeting a set OF stirring resolutions
appealing to Judge Frank j. Smith, of
Idaho, to either grant Messrs. Meyer,
Haywood and Pettibone a speedy trial
or admit them to ball.
The accused are the leaders of q
rival organization to the American
Federation of Labor. They are not in
harmony with the conservative policy
OF the worlds greatest labor organiza-
ton. In fact they have said many
things that would ordinarily divorce
them Of any sympathy from the men,
bers of the A. F. Of L. But it is not
of Meyer, Haywood or Pettibone that
we are concerned so much as it is the
manner of their prosecution, or rather
their persecution.
