.HEGG ENDORSED FOR
SCHOOL BOARD MEMBER
Trades Assembly Nominates
Workingman For Board Of
Education.
Asks All Friends of Labor to Sup
port Its Candidate at the
Poles.

The Trades Assembly at its last
meeting decided to endorse for men,
Der Of the board Of education, Mr..
Chas. w. F. Hegg, financial secretary
of the assembly. The endorsement
was made by unanimous consent, and
a strong working committee will be
appointed to urge the election OF Mr..
Hegg.
In all probability Mr.. Hegg will be
elected without serious opposition. He
is one of the strong, conservative and
reliable men in the labor movement.
Absolutely above reproach, with a
high moral charactr, and a we'll bal
anced mind he will be quite an acquist-
ton to the board Of education.
And why shouldn't labor be repre-
sented on the school board? Other
classes Of society are represented. and
some Of them are over represented,
but let that be as it may, labor only
asks for one representative. We do
not seek the election Of Mr. Hegg upon
the mere grounds Of trade unionism.
We think we are big enough to recog-
nize that the public schools deserve
the highest character Of citizenship in
their management. and we are thor
oughly convinced that they can not re-
main a truly representative institution
without a voice from someone who is
familiar with the hopes, aspirations
and desires of the workingmen.
We would not like to see a school
board made up exclusively of labor
union men, nor are we satisfied with
a board composed entirely Of contrac-
tors, merchants and professional men.
A well balanced board should consist
Of representatives from every class,
and for this, reason we urge working
men, and friends of worKtngnen to
cast their vote for Mr.. Hegg at the
election to be held this month.
Union labor is not an enemy to our
public school system. On the con-
trary it is its friend. It has no favors
to ask of the board of education. It
simply desires to proven. privilege
from forcing it's way into the manage
ment and equipment of our schools.
In the choice of text books bearing
upon the subject Of economics union
labor does not seek the introduction of
that kind which teach a false philos-
ophy as to the rights Of labor, and 1t
most strongly protests against the use
of those which receive their author

such institutions as the Standard Oh

For one reason or another the great
capitalist dailies, with very few excep-
tons, are not particularly enthusiastic
at the announcement Of the National
Association Of Manufacturers that ST.
100000 will be collected for the pur-
pose Of combating organized labor.
They fear it will act as a boomerang,
and that the public will resent the
warlike preparations Of the Parryites.
The New York Times gives express
sion to the general alarm In these
words: Nothing more disastrous for
the manufacturers and for their en-
ployes could very we'll be imagined,
for when war has once begun no one
can foresee the limits to which it may

DULUTH HEIGHTS GOSSIP
BRIEF AND SOCIAL news
Hazelwood Team Meets It's Water
loo in Battle With
Heights.
Elaborate Preparations For Cele-
bration of the Fourth Made
by Committee.

The Heights young fellows did the
same thing again. The boys say that
they really don't play fast ball but
that these would-be white sox,' etc.,
are so slow. The Hazelwood aggrega-
ton went down with a record like
tory cannot be changed. Manager
Amundson was heard to say: Say
bunch, I'm trying hard to get a game
in which We'll meet more opposition;
but where will I find them?'
Let us hope for the better. You old
timers Will recall with what success
the old Duluth Heights team met, be-
fore they got suits and then went to
pieces playing in the record breaking
toys worn by the old Duluth city team.
These veteran costumes Of the dia-
mond were too fast for the Highland
boys and but few times were they
worn by victors after they came to be
the property of the Heights.
Now our boys Will appear on the
Fourth, III new Uniforms Of maroon
and white, so its no to them to make
the cecold for tke garments.
No matter whether you understand
the game or not show that your heart
is right and that you hsvn a feeling
for local achievements, and come out
to the game on July 4th, between the
boys and the married men. It might
satisfy curiosity, just to find out who
are married. The day itself is a day
that inspires cooperation and patriot
ism.
Corporation and friendly feeling
towards our neishbors will tend to
make the Heights a renowned spot
because its people have learned to
love and help one another. Let fac
ton he forgotten and we, one and
all, high and low, turn out and cele-
brate the 131st anniversary of the
birth of our nation, as Americans.
This patriotic feeling has been very
well illustrated in McCauley's Lays
Of Ancient Rome"
Then none was for a party;
Then all were for the state;
Then the great man helped the poor,
And the poor man loved the great;
Then lands were fairly portioned;
Then lands were fairly sold.
The Romans were like brothers
In the brave days of old.

IF events has been planned BY a COM

The boys will give a social dance in

A Conefdernte pass.

Tho travelling passenger agent of tho
of Georgia. Mr.. w. w. Hackett,
in his possession a fine souvenir
Of h Civil War. tits the coupon of a
ticket issued to a Confederate soldier
to transport him from Columbus. Ga.
to Richmond. Va. 1t reads:
Soldiers Ticket.
No. 159. For one seat.
Augusta and Savannah Railroad.
Millen to Augusta.
(Sfgnature) RI. d. Cothran, Capt.
Issued by Muscogee Railroad.
Columbus, Ga. TO Richmond. Va.
On the reverse side liz this: ."Tbis
ticket Is issued by agreement between
the road issuing 1t n the Quarter
master-General of tho Confederate
States, and each road is TO render its
account to the department. and this
coupon Is to be received AZ n sufficient
voucher" It is a matter OF speculation
as to how the coupon canc to BIO pre-
served. Mr.. Hackett says that II tho
conductor between Millen and Augusta
had gifted" the slip 1t would have
gone to the auditors Office and have
been destroyed when the quartermas-
.ter's department redeemed the cou-
pons with Confederate money. 1t Is
thought probable, therefore. that tho
soldier who held this pass must hava
walked to Augusta. or that he went
up in a car so crowded with soldiers
that he was overlooked by the con-
Herald.
