The exposure OF Professor George

Professor Gunton became noted as

LET THERE BE NO PARTIALLY.

LET THERE BE NO PARTIALLY.
Immediately before election Presi-
dent Roosevelt read Senator Foraker
out of the Republican party. Now
Foraker Is down and out, in all prob
ability never more to be reinstated.
But that the American people may
have confidence In Mr.. Roosevelt's
good faith, let the work of cleansing
the temple continue.
There is Senator Aldrich. the
avowed agent of the Standard Oil.
Why not get rid Of him? There are
also two other that ought to have
been attended to long ago: Senator
Depew, the avowed agent OF the rail-
roads. and Senator Plat, an election
crook and the avowed agent of the
express companies.
II these three men are permitted to
continue undisturbed in their pre-
tended worship of God and mammon,
how can the people come to any other
conclusion than that the motives
which actuated the casting out of
Foraker were everything but what
they ought to be?
There Is serious doubt in the
minds of many people as to Foraker's
guilt, but as to the others no such
doubt exists. Why then should they
be considerably let alone while the
less guilty one is summarily dealt
with?
The American people believe in
even handed Justice, and they do not
like to witness exhibitions of par.
TALLY.
Let US hope that the administration
will be as vigilant after election in
excluding wrong doors as it protested
to be before election. To preach
about the square deal is good, but to
practice 1t is better.

WELL TO REMEMBER,

Regardless OF any matter which
may arise in connection with the Ia.
Dor movement of our country, all
wage-earners should bear in mind that
their first and most important duty is
to be faithful and loyal to the trades.
unions. the organizations which have
done so much to protect and advance
their material, moral and social con-
ditions; the Organizations which have
secured for the toilers their brighter
and better homes, the opportunities
and the development of independence
of character and manhood; that have
dlspelled the gloom and made the
home better and brighter.-Labor

POLITICS AND BUSINESS.

According to the Republican papers
the election of Mr.. Taft to the presi-
dency will do much to restore conf.
dence In the United States and cause
speedy return to prosperity and bus
mess activity.
In fact, 1t is alleged that his success
was all that the great business inter.
ests Of the country were waiting for.
The question naturally arises, Have
the people of this country become so
subservient to the privileged classes,
that they must vote for whatsoever
party the interests may dictate?
The same papers tell US that hun
dreds. Of manufacturing concerns re-
stunned operations as soon, as Taft's
election was ascertained, and that
thousands of men Heretofore idle
were given employment.
n For all that, we must now and for.
ever register a vigorous protest
against any attempt on the part OF
private employers to dictate the
political activity or inactivity Of their
. employees, to compel them to give

forbid them to give real support to

The sabbath Day.

Six thousand years ago the com
mand was given to Moses and written
upon tables Of stone, Remember the
Sabbath day to keep it holy .zs
All Of the states of the union have
on their statute books legislation in
some form or another prohibiting the
violation Of the Sabbath day.. - !,
The statutes of Minnesota are as
strict upon the question as those of
any other state. -"
No law stands upon a stronger
basis, physically, morally and intel
lectually, than does this law. I am
not now going to discuss the necessity
and justification for the law. Those
questions have long ago been decided
in the affirmative by the ablest minds
of the world.
The question at present perplexing
the McAlister mind is, Why does pub
lie sentiment-particularly the relig-
1cus sentfment-limit the application
of the law to saloonkeepers and Eng
lish speaking Americans?
If the law is d good thing for us, it
ought to be a good thing for the
stranger that Is within our gates.
The Greeks, i Sicilians, Armenians,
Montenegrens, and other foreigners Of
the extreme type, who sojourn or
domicile in our midst, can keep their
stores open seven days in the week,
and not word of protest is heard
from pulpit, press or law official
If an American of British, Scandi-
navian, German or French extraction
does the same thing he is promptly
made amenable to the laws of the
commonwealth, and punished by fine
Or imprisonment for his transgression
Why is this thus? There is no pro-
vision in the law exempting foreign
ers from it's requirements, and no
member of the McAlister family is
able to explain why such partially is
shown to Asiatics and Southern Euro!

The New Woman.

Within the last few. years the Nc
Alisters have noticed that there has
arisen curious type Of. woman, a
kind of prodigy as it were, known as
the new woman -: 49,:
This new arrival thinks home life
and motherhood a,disgraee: Her high
est ideal seems zt6 be to check, and
smother, and, utterly eliminate from
her nature allethose attributes of ten
derness and modesty: which have ever
been the charm OF her sex, and have
always inspired a spirit of reverence
and chivalry In man, :: >-".-7
The. chief ambition of: this new
woman seems to be to spend as much
time. as possible in shopping, in soci.
ETY., playing bridge. golf and kindred
pastimes, or in being treated at the
Office OF some doctor fakir for imagin-
airy ailments. IT : .3:> =:
What little time she spends at her
home is devoted chiefly to bestowing
her affections ons a homely poodle
dog--one of those abortiens in "dog-
dom" that result from transgressing
the sex law of the: canine kingdom. ::
This is not the kind of woman that
calls to our, minds the thoughts OF
angels: and heaven, Of holy love and
sweetest recollection. Oh, no! 1t was
another kind Of woman A woman
singing lullabies around the cradle of
infancy, and daily making her home a
heaven on earth; paradise of sweet
memories for all coming years. T..
1t is conundrum inexplicable why
some women aspire to be masculine.
ALI experience and all history teach
us that it is the womanly woman who
is happiest and that best commands
the respect of her own and succeed
ing generations.
Every day of my life thank the
good Lord of heaven and earth that
Mrs. McAlister is not of the new
woman" type.

hcations OF our teachers. E.@. 81 ssfs
Il q girl shows q high standard 81
prohciehcy in! echnical education and
her moral character is above reproach,

She may be absolutely destitute Of

our boys and girls during the forma-
ton period of their career.
1t is mighty serious question. The
consideration OF it has been too long
delayed. Teaching must be made q
profession as it is with Catholic sis
tiers. At present in public commonly
called Protestant) schools teaching is
mere make, shift, a stepping stone
to marriage, a means of getting a
livelihood without working too hard
for it. - ~
1t Is not pleasant to say these
things, but truth must prevail. Many
OF our teachers have no natural apti-
tude whatever for communicating in.
struction; others have positive
hatred of children; and the schools
are few. indeed where the teacher
does not several times in the day give
a lamentable exhibition of lack of
self control.
Teachers should be from good
stock. Antecedency has much to do
with this. We have no legal or moral
right to entrust the education of the
young TO incompetent individuals
whose short comings we would not
have the children copy. Example is
much more efficacious than precept
In no department of municipal govern
ment Is there more imperative need
OF genuine reform than in the system
pursued In the employment of teach
ers.

A TOAST TO WOMAN

This beautiful toast to woman was
originally given by a man who had
been a hard drinker, but who had
turned from the wine cup and become
one of the leading lights of the legal
profession. The occasion was a ban
Quet in Philadelphia, on April II, 1881.
1t was as follows: II should like to
propose a toast tonight, although
total abstinence man myself-a toast
to woman. To be drunk, not in liquor
Of any kind, for we should never
pledge woman in that which may
bring her husband reeling home to
abuse where he should love and cher
lsh, sends her sons to- "a drunkard's
grave, and her daughters to a life of
shame. Oh, no, not in that, but rather
in the life-giving water, pure as her
chastity IT,. clear as her intutions, bright
as her smile. sparkling as the laughter
Of her eyes, cheering as her consola-
ton, strong and sustaining as her love
in the crystal water I would drink
to her that she would remain queen
regnant to the empire she has already
won, grounded deep as the universe
in love; built up and exercised in the
homes and hearts of the world; 1
would drink to her, the full-blown
flower Of creations morning, Of which
man was but the bud and blossom, to
her who, in childhood clasps our little
hands and teaches us to lisp the. first
sweet prayer to the Great-All-Father,
who comes to- us: in youth with good
counsels and advice, who in manhood
meets our heart yearnings with the
faithfulness Of conjugal love, and
whose hand, when our feet go down in
the shadow, gently smoothes the
rough pillow Of death as none other
can; to her who is the flower of
flowers, the pearl of pearls, Gods
latest, best and brightest gift to man

The PEOPLES Choice.

John A. johnson won a great victory
and it is the duty Of every citizen Of
the state to congratulate him. His
majority bordering on $4,000, when the
candidate for president on the oppo-
site ticket rolls up more than $4,000 is
pretty conclusive evidence that he is
the choice Of the people. and it is right
that the people should rule. The Tri-
bune, as every other good loser should
do, extends congratulations and best
wtshes.-The Hibbing Tribune.

TOO MUCH LAW-MAkINo.

The making Of laws is fast becom.
ing one of the larger industries Of
the United tSates. In an article in
the November Atlantic we find the
interesting statement that our legis-
latures, most Of which have bi-annual
sessions pass every two years some
$4,000 separate laws.
In 1906-07, for example, there were
passed by congress and state legis-
latures 25,446 acts and 1876 resolu-
tions.
In England, for the whole United
Kingdom, In the same period, there
were enacted 700 public acts or gen.
eral laws, and the whole time of par
Lament was devoted for practically
eighteen months in those two years
to the work of criticising, debating,
and passing them.
In America during this same period,
OF the 25,446 laws enacted probably
four flfths of them were Of no general
scope whatever, and were for the
most part mere local or special bills.
In England the business of govern.
ing a world kingdom has been so TO-
sanized and simplined that special and
local measures do not clog the wheels
o. parliament, and in law-making the
time Of that body is DEVOTED. TO mat
ters of national Importance only.
BY these methods the amount of
legislation which has to be passed
upon by parliament itself has been
greatly diminished.
In England, for example, in 1907
there were enacted by parliament 1856
laws contained in 700 pages Of printed
! matter.
In the same year in a single Amer.
lean state, New York, there were
! enated 754 separate laws occupying
$500 pages.
1t Is time to call halt on the max.
Ing OF needless and useless laws. It
Is hoped the Minnesota legislature of
1909 will set a good example for the
other states to follow In this respect.
