Not a War Fund.

American Industries, the organ of the
National Association of Manufacturers,
replies to an attack made in the Fedora
tionist by Sampel Gompers, president of
the American Federation of Labor, where
in he referred to the $500,e8o a year
which the manufacturers are to raise as a
war fund to crush the unions" The
reply in question ridicules the idea that
a war of determination is to be waged
upon organized labor, and quotes from its
resolutions adopted in 1903 as follows :
1.-THE National Association of Manufac-
turers is not opposed to organizations of
labor as such, but is unalterably opposed
to boycotts, blacklists and other illegal
acts of interference with the personal lib
erty of employer and employee. No per-
son should be refused employment or in
any way Disseminated against on account
of membership or non-membership in any
labor organization, and there should be
no discrimination against or interference
with any employe not a member of a la
Dor organization by a member of such or
ganization."

Island City tube under the East river,
when August Belmont, who financed the
undertaking, acted as conductor of the
car containing the officials connected with
the work and member of the public SER
vice commission. Superintendent of Mo-
tive Power Banghard was the motorman.
The car went from Third avenue and For
ty-second street, Manhattan, to Jackson
avenue and Fourth street, Queens, in four
minutes. This is a reduction of at least.
thirty minutes in the time between these
two points under the old conditions of
transit.
In general appearance the tube is sim
liar to an ordinary city subway, being
perfectly dry, well lighted and equipped
with heavy rails and a modern signal sys-
tenn. The cars are of the regulation type,
operated by trolley poles. The atmos-'
phere is from 10 to Is degrees cooler
than on the surface of the street. As,
the car nearly fills the tube, it acts as
a piston, pushing the air ous in front
and drawing a fresh supply after it.

ACCEPTED LIZ SUEUR BRIDGE
Blue Earth and Waseca County Com
missioners Act.


The county commissioners of Blue
Earth and .Waseca counties visited tiSS
place Wednesday last and jointly irA
.spected the new steel bridge over the
lie Sueur river southwest of this place,
says The GAINESVILLE Argus. The job was
pronounced satisfactory in every par
ticular. 1t will be accepted and paid for
jointly by the two counties. The APP
proaches are yet to be completed before
the bridge can be used. This work will
be done by the townships within short
time When completed the road will be
opened up for travel. For years this
bridge has been needed and for years
there has been more or less talk relative
to it. But nothing was done until ABOUT
two years ago. The bridge as completed
is the outcome of the agitation begun at
that time 1t will open a large section
of territory tributary to GAINESVILLE and
bring many people here that otherwise
would not come. And lessons the dis
tance of many who do come This be-
ing the fact it ought to be appreciated.
There are some, however, who think that
now that the Alphabet is reality the
bridge is not necessary and that no one
really wants it or needs it. But this is
a very narrow view of the matter. Not
withstanding the fact that the Alphabet
is thing of life there are many people
in that neck of the woods that will Wis
it GAINESVILLE regularly. Others, will VS.
,it it occasionally. And the general pub
lie have some rights and they are en-
Titled to means and facilities of travel
afforded by this new work. With all
due Difference to those who imagine that
the farmers in that section will refrain
from coming to GAINESVILLE we still be-
lieve that there will be no appreciable
let up in their visits here and OF the
patronage they will give GAINESVILLE mer-
chants. The bridge is needed.

does seem as if Il powerful public sell
timent could and should be worked up
against this particular brand of indie
.cency. 1t is not always possible to leg
islate men into ways that are right and
decent, but often a healthy sentiment
can bring about a better order of
things.
There are otherwise good men who
use profanity and at the time are not
aware they are giving vent to words
that are shocking to the ears of refined
people. A reminder of their transgres-
sion on Gods law every time they give
way to these unnecessary outbmsts
should have strong tendency to curb,
and eventually, break them of the vul
gar habit. Persons who indulge in
obscene language do not raise them
selves in the estimation of their fell
lows nor the public generally 1t is
habit that is not tolerated in good
society, and profanity among young
boys should be curbed in its incipiency
Mothers, fathers and teachers can unite
to put a stop to the impure utterances
which are altogether of too frequent
occurrence in the juvenile class.

ROAD BUILDING IN MINNESOTA.

THE Minnesota legislature would moi
hearken to any advice from the state
highway commission and ignored en-
tirely the bill for an amendment tc
the constitution that would remove
the limit upon the amount that could
be. appropriated for the Improvement
of roads," saws The st. Paul Dispatch
To pass such a bill would have been
an admission that such an amendment
was necessary, before any appropria
ton of 100000, such as was passed
could be validity made. Instead of pur-
suing the sensible course, the lawmak
ers closed their eyes to the constitu-
ton and went blindly ahead. The al
most certain result is that no state
aid to roads will be possible for the
next two years. To make the situa-
ton worse, the people will not have a
chance to adopt an amendment to the
constitution, remedying the difficulty,
at the next state election, which
might have been done, if the recon-
mendation of the state highway board
had been adopted.
"The bridge builders preferred to
take the chance of getting good
share of 100000, during the present
period of two years, to waiting for a
reasonable certainty in the future.
Their interests were paramount to the
needs of the state.
"'What the people need is system
of state roads, continuous through the
length and breadth of the state, and
connecting the principal towns. When
these are built, the counties should
construct feeders thereto, so that
every portion of the state may be
served. Aid might be given by the
state in various ways to the counties,
one of them being the gift of crushed
rock as road material, the counties
paying merely the expense of trans
portation. Such material might easily
be supplied by the labor of convicts
at the penitentiaries and thus two
problems be solved at the same time.
'To secure efficient road building
and competent supervision, highway
commission is absolutely essential. It's
labor would be to construct the state
roads and superintend the work done
by the counties, giving them the bene-
fit of counsel and other assistance from
its competent experts"

ATTRACTS MANY PHYSICIANS
Clinic On the Lungs Held At St. Peter
Hospital Yesterday.
From ThurSdf

Physicians from all parts of southern
Minnesota were in st. Peter yesterday
to attend the quarterly clinic at the st.
Peter state hospital for the insane. 1t
treated of diseases of the lungs, and the
visiting doctors were given practical
demonstrations of the various ways of
treating organs that have become dis
eased
These clinics are a new feature OF the
hospitals, work. They were inaugurated
by DIR. Fl. A. Tomlinson to enable the
physicians of the state to familiarlze
themselves with cases which they would
rarely encounter in general practice,
system followed at no other institution
of the kind in this country.
Three months ago the hospital staff
gave clinic on diseases of the heart,
and it attracted widespread attention
among medical men throughout Mime
sofa. Yesterday afternoon Superlnten-
dent Tomlinson lectured on the lungs,
describing pathological and other con-
ditions. The doctors present were gwen
an opportunity to observe the symptoms
and physical condition of patients SUI
fering with lung diseases, by means OF
which they will more readily recognize
and diagnose similar cases, and they de-
clare that the quarterly clinics are
destined to prove of great educational
value to members of their profession.

CURB THE PROFANITY HABIT.

The Toronto Globe says that a
gentleman who drew near to enjoy as
a spectator game of baseball between
some lads in a field adjoining High
park on Saturday was somewhat dis
enchanted when he found that large
part of the conversation was plenti-
fully besprinkled with profane language
or worse The lads were by no means
street Arabs. They came from respec-
table homes, and the question is where
did they acquired such unpleasant fam
iliarity with oaths and obscenity. Like
boy, like man is common saying,
and in this case it is matter of no.
toriety that great deal of bad Ian
guage is overheard on our streets from
people old enough to know better.
On a recent Saturday afternoon Il
person walking on the south side of
Queen street between Church and Par
lament had his ears assailed at every
hundred yards of his journey by the
felt sorry for the women who passed
along, mostly working girls, who could
not avoid overhearing words most un-
pleasant to people of any delicacy of
mind
Are these two cases exceptional? 1t
is to be feared they are not. A great
deal of evidence could be assembled
in confederation of them, and the ques-
ton arises as to what can be done to
mitigate the evil.
Profanity in public places is unlaw.
full, and some effort should be made
to enforce the law. There are certain
people who can only be forced to the
observance of decency by the terrors
of the law. But in addition to this
it seems necessary to Undue the minds
of young lads with conception not
only of the improperly, but also of
the stupidity of the absurd repetition
the greatest agency. The presence of
two or three fathers at the match re-
ferred to would have undoubtedly
stemmed the tide to great extent.
One at least of the churches has a
society which specially aims at the
suppression of this evil, and it would
be well if all churches made set
crusade against it.
Toronto is not the only city where
the evil of profanity runs riot in the
streets. One cannot walk the thor
oughfares of any of our large cities
without hearing the vilest kind of Ian
guage, and the profane words do not
always issue from mouths of toughs
and roughs, but well-dressed and 9TH
erwise respectable appearing men are
given to the low habit of using pro-
family in public places and in the
presence of ladies and children. 1t
