The Herald correspondent notes
with much interest the resolutions
passed by the labor unions of st. Paul
and that beacon light of morality, Chi
cago, concerning the president for his
utterances on Haywood-Pettibone. La
bor has been known to kick clean over
the trace chains of reason, as well as
capital but the kicking strap OF pub
lie opinion still exists and, when the
time comes, is put on to Lold radical
ism down, which will be done IN tnls
case. Wait and see.
Swan Nelson, an intelligent Swede
miner from Des Moines, was In town
friday on business. In converse
ton with the Herald man on the min
ers' home, Mr.. Nelson Informed us
that he had visited the nome on Vari'
GUS occasions and always pronounced
it one of the most magnificent build
ings he had ever seen in Iowa. IL IS
furnished with the latest improved
furniture. with carpets Of the latest
pattern, with electric appliances Oh
various kinds to make it modern and
I'D to date in every respect. The To-
cation, is very accessible to the city,
with the best of surroundings. Mr..
Nelson says it can only be appreciated
by going to see it.
The writer acknowledges the re-
4 ceipt of a handsome cut OF the pros
a pectiye miners home by Mr.. Perry,
4 also a description of the building and
the location. After reading the same
( we desire to congratulate the commit
tee ON their wise choice of magniti
cent building as well as a location
As to price, with its surroundings hVe
4 times the amount of money asked fol
B it would not put them there. The
& writer has often felt proud of the rank
and file Of our state officers, but nc
more so than in this case. We note
in the Herald call for the election
on May IL to vote on the acceptance
of the aforementioned home, and 1t
goes without saying that the same Is
purchased now, for the miners of Iowa
are too intelligent to ignore the choice
of the committee in securing the
home. The writer has often felt proud
to live in Iowa, but never more so than
now During our twenty-five years OF
residence in the state, we have no
ticed many changes in mining matters
4 as well as setting pace for others to
. follow, and this home will be the
greatest of all, to be enabled to pro
/, vide home for our dependents in the
] declining years of their life, just when
they can rest at ease, and we see nc
reason way they should not appreciate
the same and be happy to know that
their lot is cast in with a state that
sets pace for others to follow.
