PUNISH YOUR Enemies.

Workingmen, If there ever was a.
time when labor should show it's front
1t is now. We are in politics: not
from our own volition, but because all
efforts to get a square deal from our
lawmakers were futile. The present
political movement was launched
when it became more apparent that If
the working people were to share in
the prosperity Of the nation they
would have to provide the means to
get 1t. We propose to stand by our
friends in the lawmaking bodies and
GUST our enemies. No cropping in the
dark about this business. This is a
matter that should not be treated
lightly, and 1t Is up to you regardless
of party aff1liation, to vote accord
ingly. If the issue wins, it means the
emancipation of the working people
from corporate control of our legisla.
tive bodies, the enforcement of exist
ing laws, and needed legislation for
the masses instead of the classes On
the other hand, should the movement
fail, organized labor will be given a
setback from which it will take years
to recover, allowing the enemies of
labor In the interim to frame up and
enact more obnoxious and liberty.
destroying laws. You cannot con.
scientiously dodge this issue; you can.
not even ring in the old saw of an.
cestral party utilization, because you
have been sold out several times by
both sides. You are duty bound to
stand by the movement

HARTFORD LIFE IS
TRANSACTING BUSINESS

HARTFORD, Conn.,, Oct. 24.-The
suit of the committee Of policy holders
against the Hartford Life Insurance
company and the Security Trust COM

ton of this fund.
The Hartford Life Insurance COM

1857 and although its name was
changed from that under which II wa

THE HUSTLlNG MAN.

There are ideas in abundance afloat
in the world for the wide-awake man
to take advantage of. 1t is only the
pessimist and somnolent individual
who finds nothing to do. There is
never a dull season for the man who
Is looking for opportunities.
A young lawyer came to New York
from middle Western state a few
years ago. He had very little money,
but large legacy of hope and con-
t1nuous enthusiasm. He had his sign
painted on the door of small room
in the eighteenth story of a sky
scraper Che had thought of Hanging
out shingle' when he was at schooD
and was ready for business. 1t didn't
come. 1t never does to the young
lawyer unfamiliar with the ways of
the great city. Then he proceeded to
create It, First he began to get &C.
quainted-in the libraries, the courts,
at a church, club and elsewhere.
He found little business, but it did
not come fast enough.
One day his attention was called to
life insurance and he began to sift it
and when he found a company that
pleased him he began recommending
Its policy and methods to his friends,
from legal standpoint. His explana-
lions were good and he sold a great
many policies without ever becoming
regular solicitor.
Then it occurred to him that short,
Intelligent treatises on various SUBJ
jects, boiled down from the law into
compass that could be easily grasp
ed by the average reader, would be in
demand. They WERE He began with
Wills and put out hundreds of the
little pamphlets, then he collected
them in a book and had a big sale.
While these and other ventures were
being worked out, the acquaintance
and the legal business were growing.
until now a good law practice is es-
tablished and some assistance is
needed to handle it. Energy, ingenuity
and industry are bearing their fruits.

board had previously raised the figure
to $6.40. The board appointed by
Gov. Johnson, finding that Otter Tail
county lands were assessed at $4.24
per acre raised them forty-five per
cent. which leaves the value now,
ready for next years taxes, at $615,
which is twenty-five cents per acre
less than they were two years ago, 50
it will follow that the taxes will be
less unless the town and village
boards vote more money. We think
it better from a Republican stand
point to do Governor Johnson justice
and state things as they are rather
than to have the opposition papers
put the party in bad light for circu-
lating untruths.
The above figures have been Sc
cured from County Auditor Lincoln
and can be verified at his office.

MURPHY NOW CONTROLS
CHICAGO NATIONALS

CINCINNATI. Oct. 24.-President
Charles w. Murphy of the Chicago
National league baseball club became
the owner of the controlling interest
in the new National league champions
today. The club changed hands Nov.
l, 1905, when Charles P. Taft secured
control of the team. Murphy, who was
formerly assistant city editor of the
Times Star, Of which Mr.. Taft is pro-
prietor, invested his own savings in
the club and 1t has prospered under
his direction. AS a reward for the
manner in which the club has been
conducted Mr.. Murphy has been al
lowed to assume control of the Chicago
club again and in the near future he
goes into National league meetings on
an even footing with the other club
owners. He now owns more than one
half Of the stock Of the club.

.RR|CES OF EXISTENCE
IS HIGH EVERYWHERE
Significant Report on Subjest in
the National Bulletin
of Labor.
Rent and Food Absorbs Nearly
All-Average Poor Have
Little Left After This

after the rent has been paid and
food has been bought the very poor
have but little left for anything else."
This is the unpleasantly significant OBJ
servation of s. E. Forman in his re-
port in the Bulletin Of Labor for last
May on conditions Of living among the
poor. His report is based upon the
household accounts Of 10 families of the
district Of Columbia. They were not
pauper families. They were intelligent
enough to keep household accounts
correctly and honestly; and they were
sober, Industrious and moral people
Yet they were people to whom the loss
of days wages would have caused
embarrassment and the loss Of a
weeks serious discomfort. That they
were thrifty is evident from the figures
which cover a period OF five weeks.
The item Of food varied from s2.14
to 1924 per week for the family of low
est expenditure, and up to as much az
Sc and even $500 for families of highest
expenditure, the number of persons to
a family varying from 4 to 10. For
rent per month the lowest Of all the
10 families was 81 and the highest $14,
the aggregate being more than $3.50 q
month, or 1920 a year. This annual
payment is more than half the total
assessed value Of the houses in which
those people live, and almost a third OF
the assessed value Of the entire prop
erty, land and buildings both included
OF course assessed values are under
values. In these cases they are about
two thirds Of market value. But even
on market values the rents were 20
per cent. Of the total value of the
property-a pretty extortionate figure
But that is not the worst. The actual
market value Of the houses is about
$4,000. Now, an. exceedingly liberal
allowance for house taxes, repairs. etc.
would be il per cent, or $3.50; and
this would leave out the annual rentals
OF 1890, the sum of $1,17O. annually,
merely for the occupancy OF little site
upon the earth.s surface, the value
of which Is annually maintained by
annual taxation towards which these
very people contribute a lions share.
And yet, when their meager food has
been bought "a dollar week or there-
abouts for each person) and after the
rent is! paid"' they have little left. Il
takes ll~they, earn to keep body and
soul together. And: the biggest item;
IS the landlords exaction: not Tor
houses, but for. the land on which the
houses stand Is the extortion only
accidental; or Is It an Inevitable Tea
ture Of our boasted civilization. 81

MEASUREMENTS CORRECTED.

Before our political enemies get a
chance to criticize DR.. A. B. Cole for
certain statements made by him at
the meeting addressed by Mr. Jacob.
son at the court house, we want to
say that he was wrong, believing
that it is better for the Republican
party to tell the exact truth rather
than to make political capital by in.
corerct statements. DR.. Cole said that
Gov. Johnson claimed credit for rails
ing the assessment on the ore lands
In St. Louis county $6O,000,00O. Gov.
Johnson did not make any such
claims. The governor said they were
assessed for s7o,0o0oOO now as
against s38,0oo,000 two years ago,
which would be raise of $4,000 900.
DR.. Cole also said that the governor
forgot to tell the people that his
board Of equalization had raised the
value of farm lands in Otter Tail
county fifty per cent and that the
PSoPAS "ouiA A1NC w pay very MuCI
higher taxes in consequence. DR.. Cole
Is wrong in this statement. The facts
in regard to the assessment Of Otter
Tail county farm lands are these.
When the Otter Tail county board of
equalization had finished the work OF
equalization in 1904, they left the
average value of Otter Tail county
lands at $4.27 per acre. When the
state board appointed by Gov. Van
SAINT began to equalize the lands in

found to be altogether too low and

Humor and pathos, delightful mimicry
and facial expression vie with each
other for supremacy in all she does.
Her repertoire now includes six chan
sons Pompadour and six chanson Grim
