took the baths and derived benefit from
them. Recently 1 have been suffering
with rheumatism particularly in my
hands and l wrote to Father O'Dwyer
regarding Glenwood and he very kindly
invited me to his home. I took one of
the baths yesterday and already feel
benefited" Thus did Rev. Father A
Poulin of Menominee, Mich, speak to
a reporter of the Post this afternoon.
Father Poulin arrived in the city
yesterday and will remain with us for
"a week or two that he may give the
mineral water baths thorough test.
He is one of the best knawn church
men in Michigan, having parish in

the people of Glenwood like good enter
tainments and are just as eager for
culture and education as the people of
anywhere. I know by personal exper-
ience that the people will go. On the
two worst nights of this fallwe gave an
entertainment in the opera house that
cost about $lS55 and the people gave
us profit of $3.50. They will go.
And especially do I believe they would
go to new auditorium I have nothing
against Howard and Campbell. They
have been perfect gentlemen in their
dealings with me and generous ones,
too. But all their gentlemanliness can
not atone for that opera house. Give
the people a comfortable building-one
they will feel proud of-and they will
go.
Now, gentlemen, 1 have led in the
bull. He has three horns-the horn of
civic pride, the horn of profitable in
vestment, and the horn of educational
advantage. Let's each grab horn and

Big FIGHT

A dispatch from Grand Junction un

The saloon and antisaloon people in

discussing with some show of bitter
ness the charge that the labor vote OF
the country was not cast for him, and
that the labor planks in the democratic
platform alienated more votes than they
won, W. J. Bryan devotes several col
umns of the Commoner to an analysis
of the election returns and an attack
on the methods he says were pursued
to keep the labor men from voting the
ticket which their natural inclination
led them to. He gives Samuel Gompers
credit for sincere and honest effort,
but contends that this was offset by the
threats of republican employers of
labor that there would be no work if
the democratic ticket was successful.
