From the beginning Of the insur-
ance Investigations in New York UNI
til now, there has been an uninter-
rupted course Of revelations Of dis
honesty on the part Of the manage

The whole trouble then. was due to
the entirely justifiable expositions of
the new financial methods Of some
of the practitioners OF high finance,
and fortunately for the nation, be-
yond a trifle Of Inconvenience, by the
wisdom and honesty Of thu bankers

its only effect was to increase our

MEANINGLESS SUGGESTION,

What the country needs is more
money! Elkins.
You are all wrong Mi. Senator.
There Is plenty Of money. To tell a
sick man that what he needs is health,
or! q hungry man that what he needs
IL, food, may be true enough. but it
does not contribute one particle to
bringing about such conditions as will
give the man the necessaries men
toned.
Let the Labor World tell you some
thing, that the country needs very
much more than it does money. It
needs better laws which will not per
init the kings Of finance" and gam
blers of Wall street." to monopolize
our currency for their own aggrandize-
ment.
Strange that the most rsscally fin
anciers our country has ever known
were the loudest in shouting for hon:
est money in the Bryan campaign. No
doubt they were putting Barnum's
philosophy into practice.

With Mr.. Haven already selected as

Doctor Cullom about as we'll as select

OF the two men shall be permitted to
influence the campaign, Duluth will
have one of the cleanest and most
respectable election contests that it
has ever witnessed.
The Labor World is an uncomprom-

has given us, but for his own sake.

WE DON'T WANT ASIATlcs.

The sinew and back bone of tina
land Is made up of the wage earners.
and this is why that labor Is more
respected and more powerful In this
country than anywhere else.
Labor in the United States is an e..
sential factor in the nation itself-a
part Of 1t. The laboring class who
come to us from other countries are
welcome, so long as they come under
conditions that make it possible for
them to merge themselves with the
rest of us, into the heart Of the great
est republic the world has ever shown.
But, "self preservation is the first
law Of nature" with nations as we'll
as individuals, and as the rule of
safety in foreign admission is the
measure of our ability to effect
assimilation it follows that the adnais-
sion of persons, who are at radical ra-
clal variance with our people is en-
dangering to our institutions.
Persons who must of natural neces-
s1ty remain foreigners, we must in
Justice to ourselves exclude. Nor
can we aamit them even temporarily.
There cst1 be no considerable body
of mere denizens working in our coun-
try without confusion in the land, and
without corresponding amount Of
harm to the solidarity Of our own
people,
This is not selfshness in any such
sense as that term usually implies. We
must first be just to ourselves, and
no frotny sentimentalism can justify a
departure from the rule.
No law human Or divine requires an
individual to turn himself out Of house
and home in order that a. neiehbor.
VINO already has a house and home.
may acquire double possession. No
one but an insane man would do II.
Each individual is in duty bound to
protect himself against unjust agrees
sion, and a. nation is but an aggreea-
ton Of individuals, to whom the same
rule Of duty applies, In a more ard
enlarged and more imperative sense,
Let the Ksiatics stay at home where
they belong.

CAUSE OF NEW YORK PANIC

Now that the financial excitement
has practically subsidized, it may be,
profitable for all of us, to look thu
situation over, and ascertain, If we
can, what caused the commotion. that
we may prevent its again recurring.
First, let US survey the conditions
existing on the very eve Of this flnan-
cial furry. There was not a. sfnele
thing about the banks In New York
or anywhere else, to justify any ap-
prehension Of disaster. EVERYTHING
was booming in trade centers so far
as money was concerned.
In the country crops were abund.
ant and prices high and remunerattve.
Wage earners everywhere were re-
ceiving fair compensation for their
labor. The country throughout was in
& prosperous condition, and there was
nothing to indicate the. approach Of
a financial storm; unless. as some peo-
pie, believe, business follows the rule
of. the parabola and when in ascend
ing, prosperity attains to the vertix,
its next movement is downwards toza
point on line perpendicular to the
directrix. -
The parabolic illustration. won't do.
The collapse was too sudden for. ord
erly mathematical calculation. Some
say the responsibility rests with the,
newspaper clamors. and the. trust
busting declarations Of; the president,
We do not think either, Of these. con-
tentions is, sound. ~ I',<'tS.

Action upon this decision was sus-
pended on the ground tnet the same
question was involved in a case which
would be determined in the United
States supreme court. Tha. case was
the Northern Lumber company "a
Weyerhauser concern} against Will
liam O'Brien and others.
In October, 1906, the supreme court
rendered a decision BY which the &C
ton Of the secretary was fully sus-
tanned; accordingly, Mr.. Secretary
Hitchcock caused the decision can
ceiling the invalid railroad selections
to be promulgated, and thex6were all
cancelled in March, 1902.

Talk about the proverbial delays of
the English courts Of chancery. They
were mere babes in swaddling

These delays are very gratifying to

hard, on the struggling hon2esteaders
on those lands.

THE POINT OF VIEW.


This world is as we make it,
I often hear them say.
If we are said and fearful,
The world will seem that way.
And If we seek the dark side,
Where everything goes wrong,
And mole hills seem as mountains,
Our lives will seem too long.
But If we seek life's sunshine,
Sweet joy to others give,
And gaily> climb lies mountains,
AS though we're glad to live;
To overcome disaster
And sunshine round US shower.
To make our dear friends happy,
Then joy will be our dover.
The world is but a mirror,
Rejecting each ones mind.
If we look at 1t Grossly,
To us twill not look kind;
But If We smile upon it,
It will be joyous, too,
No matter how we see it,
Twill give us our own view.
So when the world seems dreary,
And life seems bitter, too,
Jusk ask your disposition
II it can better do;
And II It turns to sunshine,
The world will look so bright
That you Will be forgetting
How dark has been the night.

visions Of Life

THE PRIMARY ELECTION LAW

WE Tn'"INnI EIeIttO LAW.
This law is another illustration of a
measure that may, be admirable. in
theory but lamentable failure in
practice.
The motives which prompted its en-
actment were praiseworthv enough.
The caucus system ,nad become sub.
1ect to so many abuses, that people
heartily acquiesced in the passage of
this new law, which gave promise Of
accomplishing such wonders in purify
ing the political atmosphere, and elm
mating unfair methods in securing
party nominations
1t has proven, however. to be a
clear case Of jumping out Ct the fry-
ing pan into the fire.. The great OBJ
lection to the caucus system was its
liability to become controlled by ma
chine rule. This feature tie primary
law reduced to a minimum; but, it has
created other conditions, that give rise
to new abuses. infinitely more HARM
fui to good government ana the pub
lie veal than machine rule ever was.
The new law mas, measurably, put
rein on machine rule, but given I'M
or1dled license to the unqualified. to
the demagogue and to the chronic
onice seeker, nuisances to which the
so-ca1led machine rule, in it's worst
form, never. gave countenance.
We have to deal with human nature
as we find it, and not as it may be
after decade or two OF the faillinium
snall have passed. Those who are
hest qualified to fill an Office are fire.,
quently tho most reluctant to run for
1t, while the unqualified office seeker
we always have with US.
Abuses under the old law were, per-
haps, rife enough, but the people could
correct them and almost invariably
did 50. Under the new system abus-
es have assumed another form. one
that completely taffles any attempt
at correction.
Every Tom, Dick and Harry can
nav@ his name on the ticket, the more
the merrier, and by conniving and
confederating together, as we'll as by
the confusion and uncertainty occas-
Toned by such an array OF candidates.
the most worthless Character on the
ticket is even more likely to get the
nomination than the best one.
The staple vote of the ward or pre-
cinct, will split up on several compe
tent and eligible candidates, and as
a majority Of the votes cast deter
mines the choice it can readily be
seen how the preferences Of those
having the best interests Of the people
at heart can be thwarted. Candidates
outWard1y hostile can be In secret CO.
alition 10 Geieut the will of the ma
jority.
1c we remember correctlv the SUI
preme court was called upon to pass
upon just a case from our own coun-
ty.
We have noticed that the Republi-
can party OF this city are, in a meas
ure, reinsta:lng the old caucus rule, in
an effort to. obviate the abuses to
which the new law inevitably. leads.
It then 'he primary law. so called.
cannot be successfully administered
without the aid Of the, caucus, and
we all know that it cannot, there is
no sense whatever In burdening the
people with the expense Of It, and it
ought to be repealed at the first op-
portuntty, and the former method re-.
stored.
Looking at the old method In the
light Of our experience with the new.
we. have firm conviction that the
old way was a thousand times more
preferable.
