The Right Class.

The class that builds up city and
enjoys life and makes the best citizens
are the enterprising and liberal men
who believe in living and letting others
live and who, when they get dollar
don't squeeze it until the Goddess of
Liberty feels as if a corset laced to the
last notch would feel more uncomfor-
table. Such squeezing is what caused
hard times and stops the circulation
of the American Eagle. If it were
not for our broad-guaged and enter
prising men it would be impossible to
build up prosperous city.

1t will cost the American taxpayer
$S1, 500, 900 to support the Army for the
fiscal year beginning July 1, which is
an increase of over $40, 200, coo from
the present year, so the discharge of
the three companies of negro soldiers
in consequence of the Brownsville
shooting affair does not appear to have
made any saving.

The lobby supported by the seedmen
to defeat the annual appropriation for
free seeds was unsuccessful and the
farmers will again have the only graft
out of the government they have ever
had share in. Send in your order to

demand of the Agricultural Depart.

Hitting Back.

The people having legislated "agin"
the railroads trusting soon to get
reasonable rates, the railroads are hit
ting back by charging full rates for
the transportation of soldiers, horses
and their equipment. In this the rail-
roads have evidently got the best of us,
for while our reasonable rates are still
in the future the railroads are charging
both ourselves and the government all
the traffic will bear.

COMPLIMENT AND COMMENT,

w. E.. McEwen succeeds A. Nc
Dermott as state oil inspector and
Governor Johnson gets a good man.
But there is more blood on the moon
than ever in the hostile democratic
camps at Duluth.-The Hibbing Tri-
bune.
We highly appreciate the spirit
which prompted the congratulation,
but must dissent from the idea sug-
gested by the supplement.
The inference from our friends
figure Of speech is. that thare Is such
a want Of harmony in Democratic
ranks, as may eventually result in
precipitating a storm.
We can assure our Republican
friend that there is no occasion for the
slightest apprehension upon that
point.
The Democrats of Duluth believe in
addressing themselves to the duty of
discussing political questions with the
utmost candor and freedom, and the
membership, may at times, contend
for individual opinions with tenacity
enough, but never to the extreme Of
breaking asunder from the deliberate
conclusions Of the majority.
Mental friction, or the contest Of one
set OF ideas against another is pri-
marily the instrument Of progress, and
without it, the forces which make for
advancement and improvement in the
political world would die out and de-
cay.
Every Individual member OF the Du-
,uth democracy recognizes The sover-
eisn right Of every other raember. to
hold without hindrance any opinion
he pleases upon the subsidiary aspects
Of every question: but the ,nain ques-
ton being finally determined, there is
the utmost harmony and unity Of pur-
pose and action in the ranks.
Tolerance towards eaich other in the
broadcast sense Is the guiding principle
of Duluth Democrats. AS believers in
the freedom Of the individual, as we'll
as OF trade, they have long ago
learned to merge the few points in
which they may differ in the many in
which, they may unite.

west END DEMOCRATS
CHOOSE MAYOR. CULlUM
Well Attended Meeting Of Demo
cratic Club Declares for
Present Mayor.
Questions Pertaining to the: Wei
fare Of the City Are Ably
Discussed.

It is a most hopeful sign of the
times, that meetings held professedly
for political purposes, are becoming
more and more freed from partisan
bias, and those present manifest a
ing to good government, than in any
abstract theories that pertain to party
lines Of demarkation.
This meeting on the 18th under the
auspices Of the West End Democratic
club, was an informal conference OF
men having the good Of the city OF
Duluth at heart, and the addresses
made were entirely free from the
tinge of politics.
Mayor Cullum, who was present by
special invitation was the first speaker
of the evening. His address was
mainly oral, though occasionally sup
plemented by notes.
There was no partisanship in his
remarks. The devising Of legitimate
ways and means for promoting the
welfare of Duluth and it's citizens, was
more engrossing to his thought than
the consideration of questions of mere
politics.
He evinced wonderful degree of
familiarity with the details of business
in every department of the city gov
eminent. His suggestions relative to
many measures affecting the future
prosperity Of the city were timely and
good.
The question of his standing for re-
election having been incidentally
brought up, by a resolution submitted
by one of the members, the mayor
clearly defined Mis- position, and the
substance of his answer to the inquiry
will be found in another column.
w. E. McEwen, alderman from the
Fifth ward, addressed the assemblage,
but for obvious reasons, we can
scarcely be expected to offer any
criticism upon ourself.
Alderman Tessman of the Third
ward, was in his happiest mood. and
in. an entertaining speech served to
add to the success and interest Of
the meeting.
Rarely mas it been our good fortune
to have been present at gathering,
ostensibly political, at. which was
shown more genuine enthusiasm for
the advancement of SUCH measures as
would promote the welfare of the city
and happiness Of it's people.

THE LAND DEPARTMENT.

The general land office, Washington,
D. c., In its administration and man.
agement of the public land laws is
steadily pursuing a policy which makes
it harder and harder for the poor man
to acquire title to public land, and
easier and easier for the Weyerheus-
ers and the Northern Pacific Railroad
company SO to do.
Rulings and orders are numerous
enough and each successive ruling ex-
cells its predecessor in simon pure, I'M
adulterated idiocy.
These ar1stocrat1c washington gen.
tlemen arrogate to themselves a mon
opoly OF the virtue Of honesty, but if
their integrity is on a par with their
practical common sense, no one need
envy them the possession.
What earthly sense or reason is
there in putting timber and stone ap-
plicants to the expense Of making two
trips to their claims before final proof
Is accepted? Are these Washington
officials SO unpardonably stupid as not
! to know that one examination made
| thoroughly, is of more value in deter
| mining the character Of the land than
! a hundred trips hastily and superficial
ly made?
What ails our land department in
Washington anyway? Last winter the
! very walls Of the capitol resounded
with senatorial and representative de-
| nunciat!ons Of it's methods and poll
cies, but apparently to no avail. The

COST OF LIVING.

The increased cost Of living Is far
in excess of the workers increase in
? wages right here in Duluth.
We are passing through an era Of
great prosperity-the city and range
papers are continually attesting it;
employers of labor in every industry
proclaim it: organized labor admits It.,
at least to the extent, that labor Is at
last, thanks to it's own efforts, secur-
Ing a part Of the rightful share that
was formerly withheld from 1t; and
government reports point to high
wages and continued employment as
proof of the same desirable condition.
But, what is prosperity? To the
capitalist it is large and frequent divi-
dends; to the merchant 1t is nigh
prices and quick sales; to organized
labor it is good wages and steady en-
ployment.
Judged by the standards indicated
prosperity may be admitted as an es-
tablished fact.
But the basis of the admission
plainly concerns only one side of the
question Of the problem of living-the
side of income To solve the problem
correctly another side must be reck-
e. oned with-tne side OF ou:go or ex-
N,pense.
! In other words, the crucial question
III, are increases in wages keeping
ipace with the increased cost Of ltv-
ling?
If they are not, the laboring classes
have to bear the burden, and In order
TO live in the present, they are forced
TO discount the possibilities Of the fu-
Iture. Why should the laborjng classes
be required to pay the cost Of prosper
iiy, by being satisfied with q wage
scale not commensurate with the high
yeost Of living? No adequate reason
can be assigned to show that they
should.
Oh, no! and from this time forth
the creators Of wealth are going to see
to it that they shall receive an equit-
able share In it's proceeds and snail
persevere in their efforts until the
dawn Of the day when the sunlight OF
prosperity shall dispel the last vestig<
OF poverty and adversely.

INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION,

The American people can always be
relied upon as equal to the occasion.
The present movement for the pro-
motion of greater interest in the in
dustrial training of our boys and
girls, is another instance of the
thoughtfulness and foresight of our
people.
It Is very generally conceded, that
the most serious problems with which
society mas to deal, have their roots
grounded in the organization Of our
industrial system.
It has been found by experience that
poverty. disease, bad citizenship, vice,
ignorance, and other evils 80 Injurious
J: to nations we'll being, are traceable,
in the large majority Of cases. to lack
OF suitable training In youth along in
dustrial lines.
The question has been neglected too
long, but it is gratifying to note. that
people everywhere are taking hold of
it with a determination to regain by
1.-THE intensity OF present effort all that
has been lost by past delay.
A movement for the social better
ment of adult years is good, but the
reform movement that anticipates the
adult years Is better.

We are informed by those in a posi-
tiion to know, that the registers. office
in Duluth Is over a year behind with
It's work, and that this is largely occa-
stoned by spending valuable time in
complying with some foolish, red tape
requirement. emanating from WASH
ington, and serving no usefu! purpose
whatsoever, unless the annoying and
narassfng of claimants comes within
the category of usefulness from the
departments standpoint
Evidently it does, for not being con-
tent with the annoyance and incon-
venience of present delays, the depart
ment has added new burdens to the
already overburdened local office by
requiring it's officials to make out ap-
plications, affidavits, etc., under the
various land laws.
Another; ruling $50 thoroughly I'M
American as to be simply contempt
tible, is that which prohibits final
proof claimants, from having their at
torney even sit in the room where the
claimants are testifying. Honest
claimants, inexperienced in matters
pertaining to the domain Of legal pro-
cedure are thereby discouraged and
evidently that's the purpose Of the re-
quirement
The land department has always
been unfortunate in the mental calibre
and judgment of the men selected to
administer it's laws. It is the one de-
partment of our government, that has
never yet come up to the standard of
efficiency which the public welfare de-
mands. The postoffice department
though it's duties are much more diff
cult and complicated mas invariably
rendered a highly satisfactory service
to the people, but the land department
not for many year.
There is no possible excuse for it
either. The land laws are 50 plain the
wayfaring man ought to understand
them. Everybody but the officials of
the department does understand them.
Congress has pronounced upon them,
the courts have again and again inter-
preted them, still the department per-
sists in putting erroneous and strained
construction upon their plainest provi-
sions.
