HARK YE! TO LOUD CRY Of THE LAW


The 'Aonk, honk" bird with the
"chug, chug' song and the odor that
does not fade is going to have it's
wings cut short, says Chief of Police
Lowe. There is an ordinance in Grand
Forks that provides, that, "No person,
driver or operator in charge of any
automobile or motor cycle on any of
the streets or highways of this city
shall drive, operate, or move, or per-
nit to be driven, operated or moved
any automobile or motor cycle at a
speed faster than eight miles per
hour
With smirks and smiles, the man
with the auto has often made miles
along the city streets in less than a
minute, but the man with the star and
blue suit will watch him closely this
year. Last year there was some fast,

very fast time, made by local drivers,
While no arrests were made, the po-
licemen, at least some of them have got
the notes and numbers in their memo
books which show quite conclusively
that the "chuf" didn't slumber.
Chief Lowe has decided that
"scorching" must stop, and the rest
of the department will watch for the
fast ones, with eyes of an eagle and
watches so finely timed, that Water
bury's won't be in it.
The police say that at the close of
day, when on their homeward run,
the. drivers most go crazy. A rod
second is often regarded as being
lazy. But Chief Lowe declares by the
cop who swears that hereafter there'll
be no more auto running up and
down our stairs.

GRAND FORKS WATER
IS ABSOLUTELY.
GERMLESS
For First Time Analysis Shows
Absolute Freedom From
Impurities.
RESULT GIVEN TODAY
Report, However, Does Not
Mean That Water Has Here
tofore Been Unfit.

According to thorough bacterioli-
cal and chemical analysis of water in
the Grand Forks filter, just completed
by Professor NJ. A. Brannon of the
university, and results announced to-
day, Grand Forks citizens are now
drinking aqua" which is absolutely
germless-at least SO far as the harm
full kind are concerned.
The water of which the analysis
was made was taken from the gate
chamber of the filter on March 1S.
While all previous analyses have
shown the existence of germs in small
quantities, the number has been so
small, that the water was practically
and essentially pure for family use.
1t is source of additional congratu-
lation, however, that the city's water
can today be shown to be absolutely
pure.
The following is the report of the
dean of the medical department of the
university:
March 81, 1907.
Mr.. John Lunseth, Supt.
Water Works, City of Grand Forks.
Dear Sir
l beg to submit the following report
OF my archaeological analysis of wa
ter taken from the gate chamber of
the Grand Forks filter, March 10,
1907.
Macroscopical: Sample of water
was odorless, contained considerable
color as is common with water from
the Red Lake river at this season of
the year. Specimen was free from
floating matter visible to the eye.
Microscopical: Examination was
negative.
Psychological: Servings were
made in agar as follows: Ice. sown
in agar culture in petri dish, and
control of 2-cc. sown in agar culture
in petri dish, and both incubated at
CSC. Servings were negative at the
end of "a, 4S and u hours respec-
lively.
Remarks: This is the first time that
l have gotten negative meteorological
results from sowings of the water TAX
en- from the gate chamber of the city
filter. In view of these findings,
have to state that the water in the
gate chamber of the city filter, the
morning of March is, was in excellent
condition bacteriologically considered.
Very respectfully,
NJ. A. Brannon.

HAS THE BUNCH
SIZED UP RIGHT
A Few Pertinent Remarks Regarding
the Cheap Methods to Dis
credit Labor Press.

Editor Labor Argus:-
The attacks being made on your
paper by gang of cheap scab
politicians who are trying to dis
credit the labor press calls to my
mind the lawlesS methods used for
the same purpose in Victor, Col.
James Peabody and his gang were
running things all their own way,
and when the Victor Record came
to the defense Of the workers, the
tool of capitalism wrecked the
plant. When labor losses it's
press it loses it's most effective
weapon, and any man who tries to
destroy it is an enemy Of the toll
ing masses.
The working people of West
Virginia, and especially this sec
ton of the state know their friends
from their enemies and consc-
qucntly pay DO attention to the
petty politicians and their local
''organ'' III their attempt to dis
credit the labor press and labor's
cause.

The members of Local Union

This is u wise course for them to

editor.
Now its up to the unionists/ef
Charleston and vicinity to initiate
the good example of their brothers
in Washington. This is done after
having weathercd Il strike there all
summer. The good example by
this uuion should be initiated by
other unions throughout the coun !
Try. The local labor paper is, next
to the paid-up working card, the
best asset of the unionist. 1t will
be recalled that the last years

labor organizations subscribe. and
otherwise support labor papers
throughout the country, the dele
gates to the convention realizing
that such 4 course was the surcst
way to keep the members Of or

well as giving to. the movement a

it against the enemies from with

ANOTHER EVIL OF
THE YELLOW PERIL.
AmericanRGir1s Are Being Robbed of
Honest Employment by the Japs,

Five thousand white girls in
California have been robbed of their
employment as mattresses and
domestics by the incursions of the
Japanese.
This declaration is made by no
lesser authority than the state com
missioner of labor statistics.
From employment agencies max
ing speciality Of furnishing female
help, it is learned the situation is
becoming a greater hardship upon
the working girls every month.
'sWhat becomes of the girls
whose positions are filed by the
Japanesc?" was asked of an agent.
''They are simply driven into
less desirable employment" was
the reply. "Maybe you viii find
housemaids going into ill-smelling
factories, or maybe they will find
housework some other place, at
lower salaries. Hundreds of the
girls are out of employment who
would be glad of any position by
which there needs can be decentIy
provided.
People are becoming SO accus-
toned to Orientals they forget an
American girl cannot live like an
Asiatic.
