"We want a mayor who can satisfy
every body."- Moorhead Citizen.
To do this a mayor must carry
water on both shoulders. On one side
he must cater to the lawless element
and on the other to the reputable
citizens. In other words, he must be
a particularly Shiny hypocrite. A
mayor who stands for right is bound
to make some enemies.

81. J. Sconce, says newspaper dis
patch dated Lake City, Iowa, has on
exhibition quantity of cobless... corn
which he raised from a freak ear
found in shipment of the cereal from
Illinois. The ears, states the news
article, are composed of cores of husk
and the grains are neatly wrapped
upon the soft foundation like peas
in pod, This sort of corn might
have its advantages, but then it would
also have it's disadvantages. For in
stance, should it be generally intro.
duced we may be deprived of our good
old standby, the corn-cob pipe.

The millers of the country will test,
in the courts, the legality of Secretary
Wilson's order which prohibits the
bleaching of -four. AS the national
pure-food laws prohibit the use OF
poisons in too99stoffs the courts can
hardly do other than sustain the rul-

sible to prove that nitric acid fumes,
by which flour is bleached, are not
poisonous.

Four men convicted of defrauding
the state of Pennsylvania in connection
with the furnishing of the capitol have
been given the maximum penalty-two
years Imprisonment and fine of $500
each. It is to be regretted that these

with so light sentence. The laws OF
Pennsylvania governing such offenses
are badly in need of amendment.

in the making of separate election

HARSH IND APPARENTLY UNJUST.
In decision rendered by. Judge
Wright of the supreme court Of the
District of Columbia yesterday, Presi-
dent Gompers, Vice President Mitchell
and Secretary Morrison of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor were ad-
judged guilty of contempt of court,
and Gompers was sentenced to twelve
months Imprisonment, Mitchell to
nine months and Morrison to six
months. 1t seems that an Injunction
had been issued by Washington
court which enjoined the American
Federationist, the official organ of
organized labor, from listing the
Buck Stove and Range company of
st. Louis as unfair to labor, and the
Injunction, it is claimed, was disre-
garded. We are not familiar with the
details of the case, but one thing is
apparent in the decision as it appears
in the dai]ies, Judge Wright is not a
friend of organized labor; his remarks
would lead any impartial reader to
believe that he was intensely pref
udtced against the defendants. An
appeal has been taken and it is conf
IDENTIFY expected that the decision will
be modified or set aside.
