DULUTH IS NEARING
THE CENTURY MARK
New Directory Shows It to Have
. a Total Population
of 81, 744.
From October 1, 1907, to October
/, 1908, the City Gained
Over 5000.

Duluth's population is 91,744, &C.
cording to the 1908 directory, which
will be issued by the publishers this
week. These figures represent an in
crease Of $685. inhabitants since the
beginning Of the directory year, Oct.
1, 1907.
:: Tho New Directory.
In the new directory there are
2371 more names than in the 1907
book. The list does not include many
women and all children under a GER
tain age, and it is by using a. con-
sentative multiple that the total pop
ulation Is arrived at. This number
varies in different cities, and has
varied in Duluth in past years from
IN to 3. Last year the IN multiple
was used, and this has been adopted
as the most satisfactory In New
York and other cities as high a null
triple as five has been used.
Population This Year.
Last year the directory gave the
population of Duluth as 1874 The
United States census taken in June,
1900, places the population at 52,995,
"AASAA "oS O. 6dul VI $4,000 lllldDlIdQLS
since the census of 1890. This gives
the year 1908 an increase of 28,427
since 1900, and in increase of 5S,3O7
since 1890.
Duluth's increase in poulation this
year exceeds that Of last year by a
comfortable margin. The figures in
1907 showed an increase of 5,106 over
1906, while the estimate for this year
exceeds that of 1907 by $685.. This
Is considered remarkable in the face
Of the financial panic of last fall,
which, it is said, will show a falling
off in population in most growing
cities Of Duluth's proportions. Du-
luth's increase is exceptional for the
northwest, and is larger in proportion
to its size than in any other city.

Don't be foolish and get sour when
things don't just come your way
Don't care to be pampered baby and
declare Now 1 won't play!'
Just go grinning on and bear it;
Have you heartache? Millions share
it;
If you earn crown, you'll wear it
Keep sweet.
Don't go handing out your troubles to
your busy fellow men
If you whine around they'll try to
keep from meeting you again
Don't declare the worlds "agin'
you,
Don't let pessim1sm win you,
Prove there's lots of good stuff in
Keep sweet.
If your dearest hopes seem blighted
and despair looms into view,
Set your jaw and whisper grimly,
Though they're false yet I'll be
true.''
Never let your heart grow bitter;
With your ear to Hopes transmitter,
Hear Loves songbirds bravely twit-
ter,
Keep sweet
Bless your hera, this worlds a good
one and will always help man,
Hate, misanthropy and malice have
no place in Natures plan.
Help your brother there who's sigh
ing,
Keep his flag Of courage flying;
Help him try-'twill keep you try

MORAL Of SITUATION
EASY TO UNDERSTAND
Contrast Between the Work of
Union Men and That of
Non Union.

New York. Oct. 7.-There are two
big steel bridges being built in New
York city. One is known as the
Blackwelrs Island bridge, the other as
the Manhattan bridge. These bridges
are practically the same size, and
practically the same number of men
are employed on each one. The Black
wells Island bridge Is being built by
a firm. that refuses to employ union
iron workers. The Manhattan bridge
is being built by union labor
Since beginning work on the Black
wells Island bridge fifty-five men
have been killed.
Not single life has thus far been
sacrificed in building the Manhattan
bridge.
If you cannot see the moral of this
then you need an operation on your
mental eyesight.

troduced "a, bill. known as H. F. No.

and the State Federation Of Labor
The principal feature Of this bill was
to limit the number of convicts to
Is per >aceaat%: Of, the ; inmates at any
one employment excepting in the
binding Irvine plant.
Mr.. Jacobson fought this feature of
the bill. He wanted the limit placed
at 80 1-3 per cent. In speaking on
the measure the st. Paul Globe of
March 20, 1895 quotes him as follows:
! THAT he was not afraid of the
demagogues and the walking dele
cations
On the same date the Pioneer Press
quotes him as follows:
:"Mr. jacobson attacked the per
cent division of labor under the
schurmeier bill, saying that it was
the result Of dictation from the labor
organizations, and this was auto
cratic, -, =.
When the bill finally passed the
house he followed it to the senate
and when it came back it was so
frightfully mutilated that it's author
did not know it. As it finally passed
the limitation was put at, 10 per cent
OF the number Of free laborers en-
ployed at any one industry through
out the state. AS a result of Mr.,

The story OF the opera was told in
The Evening World of last Saturday by
Albert Payson Terhune. The score held
no taking musical numbers in the old
fashioned sense. D'Aloert seems TO have
written something after the manner Of
Debussy in "Pelleas ct Melisande,"
striving to illuminate the text without
thought of melody and to support the
whole fabric on an orchestral cushion
that suggested moods and passions and
