To Preserve Raisins.

Late in the fall, or early in winter,
as soon as the fresh seeded raisins
come in, buy as many as you will need
during the hot weather. Remove from
boxes and pack into glass fruit jars.
Set the jars in a pan Of cold water;
put on the stove, and boil until
hot through (about one hour. Then
seal the bottles tight, and the raisins
will keep moist and fresh until the
next winter. 1t is best to put block
of wood in the pan under the bottles to
keep them from cracking.

Cost of Milk.

The president of New York dairy
concern gives the following itemized
statement Of the cost Of milk: 1--WE
nave been paying the farmers three
and one-half to four cents for milk.
and after the first of October will
have to pay four to four and one
quarter. 1t costs a cent a bottle
freight to bring it from the farm to
the city. 1t costs half a cent bottle
for cleaning. filling and icing. 1t costs
another three-eighths of a cent a bot
tie to haul it from the depot to the
wholesale house. That means that it
costs practically six and one-quarter
cents bottle to put the milk in the
delivery wagon. Out of the balance
we have to pay drivers, inspectors and
bear other expenses. There is really
little or no money in the milk bust
ness" He might have added the cost
OF bottles that customers fail to re-
turn and fatty refuse to pay for-an
item by no means small. The wonder
is to people who read such a hard
fuck tale as this-and producers and
dealers of almost any variety Of farm
product that can be named can put up
story to match it-that all agricul-
tural pursuits are not abandoned.
Somehow or other, though, they go on,
with everybody concerned showing
signs OF prosperity. Queer, isn't it?

THAT ENORMOUS FINE.

We are not very much elated over
imposing a fine Of twenty-nine millions
upon the Standard Oil company. In"
stead Of being proud Of 1t we are
ashamed of it. Why did those VINO
were entrusted with the enforcement
Of the law permit the company to go
on transgressing for years, until the
aggregate Of it's crimes became so
enormous that nothing short OF
twenty-nine millions of dollars would
satisfy the demands Of justice? TO
US the question is a connurdrum un"
answerable and ircxplicabM.
We may be dull If apprehension, but
it really looks like 4 huge farce. Sup
pose the company pays the money, Is
anybody fool enough to think that no
simple way can be devised by which
the company can reimburse itself at
the expense of the consumer? You
can wager your last dollar the COM
pany will reimburse before it disperses
In the last analysis then it is really
Furnishing the consumers for the
crimes Of the corporation. SO FAR as
the overwhelming majority Of the
American people are concerned, their
interest would be best suhserved by
letting the company go scott free at
this time. since it has been allowed to
go so long.
Another thing that we cannotsunder-
stand is: How on earth can a. corpo-
ration commit crime anyway Are
not the nabobs who run the corpo-
ration really the guilty ones? How
would it do to enact laws that would
give the actual criminal dose Of the
penitentiary instead Of laws that pun
ish an imaginary person by fines, and
then allow the actual transgressor to
reimburse the imaginary person at the
expense of persons altogether inno-
cent?

subjected to such oppression. Person
ally we have no desire of stirring up
opposition to the Steel Trust We
don't need to. The methods pursued
by its own officials create hostility
enough. But we say this,-in the in

sequences for the future, We think it
is the bounden duty OF the authorities
to make the Steel Trust ofticials I'M
derstand very distinctly, that they are
not above Minnesota or it's laws, and
that they. and the corporation, are ex-
pected to yield the same obedience to
law, that is exacted from the humblest
citizen.

The prolonging of the strike now
existing on the Range, is keeping the
country in turmoil of agitation, at
fecting business, and creating unhappy
conditions generally. A commission
ought to be appointed without delay to
investigate the matter, and determine
the respective rights of the miners and
Steel Trust. not from the point of view
of either party, but from tie point OF
view of good government, ana userui
citizenship, basel upon justice and fair
play. That's the point. Let the COM
mission make an exhaustive report Of
their examination and finding, and the
sentiment of the community will be a
unit for the enforcement Of their de-
cision. That plan is the most feasible
one that now occurs to US, since the
Steel Trust refuses to entertain any
thoughts of arbitration.

THE DULUTH TRIBUNAL.

Mrs. r. c. Mitchell has assumed the
management of the Tribunal, and will
conduct 1t along the same independ-
ent lines as did her late husband.
We judge from her announcement,
IN the first issue since the death of
her husband, that no change is con-
templated in the policy of the paper,
and that every question receiving edi-
torial attention will be discussed with
out fear or favor.
There is abundant room in Duluth
for the Tribunal, and no doubt the
business and professional men will &C.
cord to Mrs. Mitchell the same degree
OF generous patronage they bestowed
upon the paper, when her husband
was in charge.

and tribulations of Journalism. and no

Painful Accident To Member
Plumbers Union.

John McDonouEh. of the plumbers
union, and Late Of st. Paul, was pain
fully and seriously burned last sa,ur-
day morning while working at house
at Eighteenth avenue east and Supe-
rior street. Mr.. McDonough was melt
ing a. pot full of metal, and it is be-
lieved that he fell into a faint, and
while falling he tipped his plumbers
furnace. When he was discovered his
shoulder was laying in the hot metal,
and the flames from the furnace were
beating against his cheek. The flesh
was burned to a crisp. The pain has
been so severe that for the past few
days the unfortunate victim has been
delirious. It was found necessary to
put him into straight Jacket We'd
nesday, and the doctors are beginning
to fear that the purns will prove
fatal.
Mr.. McDonough's brother, Pat, is
working in Duluth at plumbing, and
he, in conjunction with members of
the union, will see that nothing is left
undone to save the unfortunate mans
life.

THE CURSE OF ILLlTERAcY.

One of the most deplorahle of the
many evil consequences of child labor
mentioned in the recent census bulle-
tin on that subject is the fearful illit-
eracy which it fosters Almost one
fifth of the children between the ages
Of ten and fifteen years who are COM
PEELED to labor are totally illiterate-
can neither read nor write. The per-
son who attains the age of fifteen
years amid the conditions which sur
round child labor, without knowing
how to read or write, is unlikely ever
to acquire those requisites 20 civilized
existence.
Growing up to the physical stature
Of manhood with his moral and mental
qualities neglected and blunted, unable
to read books or newspapers, unable
to write to friends or to rad letters
from them, such person III this age
of the world, and in a civilized coun-
try, is as helpless In many ways as g.
brute animal, and is likely to be treat
ed no better than a mere animal-or
even worse-by heartless employers
reaping the fruit of his labor. All
doors are closed to him, and he has
no hope in any direction.
And to this terrible situa ton child
labor, especially in mills and factories,
where it assumes it's cruelest form, is
in thousands Of cases sure introduce
ton. These children are simply ex-
plotted, like so many cattle, for the
physical force that lies in their meager
arms and their emaciated frames,
while their brains are remorselessly
suppressed or allowed to atrophy, until
the light of intelligence itself fades
from their eyes, which see year after
year only huttering bobbins, whirling
machinery and the footpaths that lead
from the wretched cabins where they
sleep in utter exhaustion to the pick
eted gates Of the factories, wherein
they are herded during their waking
hours.
And in the face of facts like these
certain SNUG, easy-going, well-fed,
pious persons, who call themselves
educators, cry out against those who

OUR POSITION DEFINED.

Our editorial friend of the Mesabai
Ore after crediting US with being lone.
Of the safest labor leaders in the
country is disposed to criticize us for
mot joining our efforts with other
newspapers in driving the Western
Federation Of Miners beyond the con-
fines Of Minnesota
We owe a duty to organized labor
that precludes our taking precipitate
action against any organization that
aims at establishing conditions Of
hours and wages, that will enable the
toiler to feed, clothe, and educate his
children, and prepare them for good
citizenship, thus erobling mankind,
and fulfilling the destiny of this, the
greatest and most glorious country
under the blue vaults Of heaven
We are not affiliated with the West
ern Federation but SO far as we have
been able to discover. the object Of the
organization is meritoriou; enough
and since the strike was inaugurated
its leaders. even if they are so called
foreigners" have demonstrated that
they are law biding men, engaged in

be their rights. against one of the

tho world has ever known.
Fidelity to the cause we cunscienti-
ously espouse constrains US to make
haste slowly in uniting our forces with
newspapers whose motives and actions
are not above tho suspicion of corpo-
rate Influence.
This Is a country Of law, to which
tho most gigantic corporation ought to
be as ameEable as the most unsophis-
ticatcd miner. If, as we infer from the
