FOR PROTECTION OF LABOR.
Antitrust Law Amendment Might
Make Statute Unconstitutional.

The American Federation of Labor's S
plan fer overcoming the effect of the
boycott decision of the federal su-
preme court was introduced in the
house on February z by Representa-
tive Nichols of Scranton by request
of President Gompers, Secretary Nor
rison and other Federation officers.
1t is embodied in the following bill
which, if passed, will be attached to
and become a part of the anti-trust
law: That nothing in this act shall
be construed to apply to trade unions
or other labor organizations, organ
ized for the purpose OF raising Or
regulating wages, shortening hours of
work, Or making more tolerable other
conditions under which labor is to be
performed"
Those who have considered the
opinion believe if congress should
pass the Nichols bill the effect would
be to make the whole law unconstitu-
tional on the ground that it does not
afford the equal protection of the laws
to all persons.

THE YOUNG Man
IN POLITICS
Clarence D. Dinehart, State
Treasurer, Is Interesting

Is a Graduate of the Minnesota Uni.
versity-Climbed the Lad
der Rapidly.
5 YOUNGEST STATE OFFICIAL

One of the most successful ex-
amples of ''the young man in
politics" is to be found in Clar-
ence c. Dinehart of Slayton, pres
ent state treasurer, and candidate
for reelection on the Republican
ticket. Though barely out of his
twenties, he has already climbed
the ladder to an eminent position
of honor and responsibility, and
made good.
Clarence Christopher Dinehart
was born in Chicago April g.
1877. When seven years old he
came to Minnesota with his par
ents, who located at Slayton,
Murray county, where they have
resided continuously since 1884,
He attended the schools at Slay-
ton, the Central high school, Min
neapolis, and graduated with
honor from the University OF
Minnesota in 1899. During his
college course he took special
work in political economy and
law, was editor-in-chief of The
Gopher, a book issued each year
by the junior class, and was Sc
lected business manager Of the
Minnesota Magazine, a senior
monthly. He was an active mem
Der of. the Y. NJ. c. A. and inter
,sted in the various college ac-
tivities.
Returning to his home town.
he was given a position in the
State Bank of Slayton, and short
ly afterwards was elected assist
ant cashier. At the village elec-
ton in the spring of 1902 he was
chosen by the people of Slayton
as president of the village council
During the time he held this Of
fee municipal questions requiring
tact, diplomacy and firmness
arose and were met with marked
executive ability. Law enforce
ment was an issue and was car
ried out successfully.
In the fall of 1902 he resigned
as president of the council and as
assistant cashier of the bank to
enter the law school of Harvard
university, from which he gradu-
ated in June, 1905. During the
vacation months he renewed his
affiliations with banking inter
ests, and upon the completion OF
the law Course entered actively
in the work of organizing and
auditing a line of banks and land
companies.
In January of 1906 he became a
candidate for state treasurer, and
after an aggressive, affirmative
campaign, received the nomina-
tion in the Republican state con-
vention at Duluth, June IS, 1906,
and was duly elected in Novem-
Der of that year. Taking his po-
sition when he was but a few
months past twenty-nine years
old, he occupied the unique posi-
ton of being the youngest state
treasurer.

Bees in Block Of Stone.

While workmen were saving
through a block of Bath stone at
Exeter, they cut into a cavity in
which was found a cluster of two or
three dozen live bees.
The incident occurred at the works
Of Messrs. Collard & Sons, lnonu-
mental isculptors. There was not
much sign of life in the bees at first,
but when air was admitted they grad
ually revived and after a few hours

OFT-FoRGOTTEN DEBT.

The Des Moines Capital expresses
the opinion that the politician who
secures a nomination py the aid of
the editor forgets the editor and
thinks he did it all himself. "When
you find a politician undertaking to
remember the editor who has made
him what he is" adds the Capital,
you will have whiskers longer than
any alfalfa growing. The average
politician regards the editor as his
common slave, and the favors he
bestows as his common right. He
will remember the man who has put
in one day at the polls for him long
er than he will remember the editor
who has devoted ten years to telling
the people what great man he would
DE if he had chance. ;"

TAFT FAVORS LABOR.

In his speech at Denver Mr.. Taft
made the following comment upon the
attempt of Samuel Gompers to show
that he was unfavorable to labor !:
This thing of Gompers having the
labor vote in his pocket and of the
laboring men believing the lies he
tells. is something I complain of.
Labor men ought to find out which
party has done the most for labor.
Bryan never did, or tried to do any
thing for the cause of labor while he
was in congress and if you will ex.
anime the legislative record you will
find no labor legislation by the Demo
Gratis. The very decisions made
while on the bench are those on
which labor is now relying to main
tain its rights in court. In them I
laid down the principles defining the
rights of labor. l said they had
right to organize; they had right to
elect officers, they had a right to ac
cumulate funds by which they might
strike; that no injunction could be
issued to prevent their striking but
that they might not injure the prop
erty of their employer and that they
might not institute a secondary boy
colt.
