THE FIRST LABOR NOVEL

Charles Dickens novel Of Hard
Times" may probably be called the
first union labor novel. Dickens lived
and wrote to improve the condition Of
those who were placed at a disad-
vantage or were oppressed. If he
lived today we would have labor
novels that would be effective in pro-
noting the cause of union labor. But
the novels which purport to be labor
novels today are written usually by
people who have no power of imagin-
alton perception or observation. They
write for revenue only-not because
they know anything of what they are
writing.
Union labor is continually up
against such men as Bounderby, who
said, It's coach and six they want
and turtle soup with a gold spoon"
And he was paying starvation wages
with unsanitary shops and boastirg
of being a self-made man, while, as a
fact his parents had denied them.
selves in order to educate him.
Bounderby was exactly like many Of
our boastful "self-made" mon who ara

POST THE PRETENDER,

C. w. Post is still paying large sums
for TRADES against unions in newspa-
pers at advertising rates. He also au-
tagonizes all business and working
men who sell or handle tea and COT
fee. In short, c. w. Post always an
tagonized anybody but himself and
his own ideas Of fooling, or trying to
fool, the public. There is not an In
telligent physician living today VINO

cereal foods and drinks are sure pro-
moters Of old age and early decrepi-
tude. The fact is also established
that coffee and tea, temperately used.

BE TRUE TO YOURSELF.

It is an old saying, BE true to
yourself first, and you cannot then be
untrue to any human being" In this
connection, we specially call our read .
ers attention to a communication in
another column, from a member of
the Woman's International Union
Label League Of Duluth.
Suppose that the 100000 organized
workmen of the country should re-
solve to purchase nothing but union
made goods. Don't you know that the
demand created for fair products
would soon result in tho unionixins
Of all industries throughout the coun-
try? Let our loyal trades unionists
think this matter over, talk it in your
weekly meetings. agitate 1t among tho

mand for the label Of all crafts ~ you

LIAR OR FOOL.

c. w. Post is an individual who, 1t
is said, argues that all union men are
bad because a few are bad. Let I'LL
union men take warning and never
argue that any church or any other
organization is bad because few
members are bad. Such argument Is
sophistry and only is positive proof
that the person making it is either a
liar or a fool.
That organized labor is an institu-
ton that has come to stay. even lis
opponents are compelled to admit.
That it's ideals are high its purpose
noble, it's history inspiring and It's
achievements remarkable and praise
worthy none can deny. If now and
then some individual or some organi-
cation, proves false to its principles or
attempts things that seem incompat-
ible with its high ideals and noble
purpose, that is no argument against
organized labor. There are men who
pose as Christians, even ministers #
the gospel, whose conduct justifies TIE
assertion, that they wear the livery 1T
heaven the better to serve the devil,
but that is no argument again It
Christianity. There are physicians
and lawyers who desecrate their pro-
fessions; but that is no argument
against medical science or against
jurisprudence. Organized labor has
nothing to fear by comparing the con-
duct of it's leaders and members with
walk Of life.

NO NEUTRAL GROUND.

We do not favor radicalism, we are
conservative, but it is up to certain
of our national and state lawmakel 9
to wake up. Organized labor will
have to defeat, not only those who
are making a fight against us, but
also, those who manifest an indiffer-
ence towards our having our rights
accorded US. The gospel rule of che
that is not with us is against U.S.
shall be labor's slogan for the future.
There is no neutral ground between
right and wrong. Six thousand union
men Of Duluth have been taught this
lesson with vengeance, and shall
govern themselves accordingly.

OUR NUMERICAL STRENGTH,

The members of organized labor
have so often been reminded of the
statistical figures that say there are
only 100000 union men in the coun-
try that it has become trite and pain
full. In fact, there are about 100000.
And their membership is so largely
composed of the most able-bodtei
men in the country that the figures
represent vastly more Of influence and
strength in the country's population
than they at first appear. They rep
resent the intelligenc Of skilled labor.
and their influence improves the con-
ditions Of all labor, except. possibly.
convict labor. When you include the
wives and children Of the union men,
who, Of course, are in sympathy with
them, and the membership Of various
societies whose objects are the better
ing of the condition Of laboring men
and women, you will find that more
than 50 per cent Of the entire popula-
ton believes in unions and their co.
jects and are assisting in promoting
those objects.
A few narrow minded real estate
men in Duluth, with their misguided
followers, will some day come to their
senses, and realize what lot Of in
significant creatures they are, ana
how futile their efforts to down or
ganized labor. Cast your bread upon
the waters gentlemen; but remember
there are some strains that never
have a return current

"A comedy melodrama'' Is what one
critic called "Brewster's Millions"
which will be seen here on..Tuesdav~
and Wednesday at the: Lyceum ana
possibly no more apt description Of
this wonderfully successful play could
be given. Telling the story of a.
young man who must spend million
dollars within a year, and with such
restrictions as to make the feat seem
impossible, it discloses in sevral in
stances the paradoxical situation o.
incidents otherwise pathetic, but under
the conditions depicted ar positively
humorous. The idea of the principal
theme is so fantastic that under less
careful handling "Brewster's Millions"
would have degenerated into a cheap.
tawdry farce. Much credit is not only
due to George Barr McCutcheon vino
wrote the original story, but to Win
chell Smith and Byron Ongley who
adapted it for the stage. So much
for the literary portion Of "Brewster's
Millions" 1t was natural when Fred
eric Thompson Chat master mind of
stage effects) decided to produce the
play shat he would discover its r1lo-
dramatic and scenic possibilities. And
thus it came about that that wonder
full yacht scene which monopolizes the
entire third act of "Brewster'a Mil
lions" was born. There is absolutely
no doubt that this is the greatest
scene of it's kind that has been shown
on any stage at any time. 1t is al
most uncanny in it's naturalness and
utilizes many devices hitherto inappli-!
cable to stage use. The jllusion OF Al
full rugged steamship buffeted by
waves mountain high and in the heart
of terrific electrical storm Is so real
istically presented that one must pinch
ones self when the curtain falls in

MR.. JARVIS HUNT
STOPS DIVORCE

Sioux Fails, : d. March SI.-Today
when il became positively known that
Mrs. Jarvis Hunt, the famous million
whose ARRIVAL in Sioux Falls a few
days ago created a great sensation,
wolld not maintain her residence here
and apply 10 the divorce courts for a
decree. members of the local divorce
colony were given fresh foe for Cos
sip.
This is the first instance on record
in the history OF the local divorce COL
ony in which a person of prominence
has abandoned intention to secure a
divorce after having once established a
residence here. The alteration in her
plans is due 10 the fac that following
the arrival Of Mr.. Hunt III the city,
III as d result OF an extended CONVEX
sation between himself and wife, he
was able TO bring sufficient influence
10 bear 10 induce her to and her
plan and they now have effected a COM

the dust of Sioux Falls from their feet,
departing for their home at Chicago
and Wheaton. Such movable prop

when she came TO Sioux Falls will fol-
