nounccd their belief that the present
Congress will pass an employers liza
bility act which will meet and over
come the unconstitutionality of the
present law pointed out by the SUI
prem Court of the United States in a
recent decision.
These statements were made upIe-

guardcdly by the vice president, to
delegation led by Samuel Gompers,
president of the American Federation
of Labor, from eighty-seven national
and international trade and labor or
ganizatio,s and farmers organizations
assembled in national conference in
this city.
The delegation requested the speak
er to lay before the House of Repre-
sentatives, through him, a memorial
entitled "Labors Protest to Congress"
The scope of his memorial was set
forth in the following opening para
graphs:
I'VE, the official representatives OF
the national and international trade
and labor unions and organizations OF
farmers, appear before Congress to
voice the earnest and emphatic protest
of the workers of the country against

ward the reasonable and righteous
measures proposed by the workers for
the safeguarding of their rights and
interests.
In the name of labor we now urge
upon Congress the necessity for imme.
date action for relief from the most
grave and momentous situation which
has ev + confronted the working people
of this country. This crisis has been
brought about by the application by
the Supreme Court of the United
States of the Sherman antitrust law
to the workers, both organized and in
their individual capacity.

GREAT BRITAIN.

There are three primary results
wh1oh should be attained by the estab,
lishment Of postal savings banks: %
The forming of habits of economy and
thrift by the great mass of people. (2)
The providing of place entirely above
suspicion for the deposit of funds. (3)
The bringing into circulation of vast
sums of money now boarded here or
sent out of the country by foreigners.
While there are many communities
in the eastern states fortunately stu
ated as to banking facilities, statistics
indicate that of the $4,000, 100000 de-
posted in savings institutions through
out the United States. the combined
holdings of thirty-five states are but
per cent. of the total. There are. there
fore, great numbers of our people who
are practically without banking facili-
ties. Indeed. it is found that in the
South the average distance from the
postoflce to the nearest savings bank
Is thirtythree miles; in the states west
of the Rockies. fifty-fve miles.
There can be no question as to the
advisability Of encouraging the foreign
ers within our borders to make such
disposition of their savings that some
benefit may accrue to the communities
In which they are employed. Most of
these people come from countries in
which postal savings banks have long
been established, and they have little
confidence in any depository for saw
ings which is not absolutely vouched
for by the government. In the fiscal
year ended June 30, 1907. money orders
amounting to $74.OS0. 711.06 left this

nesday night says: There was great
jubilation tonight because the $50, 900
asked for to complete and furnish the
handsome four-story Young Mems
Christian Association building here
was raised. The campaign started
ten days ago and was filled with I'M
usual perplexities.
Tonight was the last night and If
the total amount had not been raised
by 10 O'Clock, many of the heavy sub
scriptions would have been forfeited.
At z o'clock p. M, when full returns
came in, the subscriptions still lacked
$1,360 Of the full amount. Volunteer
subscriptions were then asked for and
in less than an hour the deficit had
been raised, with 5000 more, making a
total of 10000.
Whistles then began to blow and
all the church and fire bells in town
were rung, while many Of the Young
Mems Christian Association boys pa
raded the streets and sang and
cheered. This means that the building
will be thoroughly equipped In all de-
partments and be absolutely free of
debt.

The Herald is in receipt of a
fifty.inch advertisement from a
twin city supply house that
makes a special offer to country
people to go to Minneapolis and
buy it's goods. The Herald
could run this adv. and receive
thirteen cents an inch, cash in
advance, for the order, but'it de-
clines on the ground that Sank
Centre people should patronize
home institutions, and this not
withstanding the fact that some
business men in this town send
away to- have their printing
done. But The Herald believes
it is taking the right stand in
this matter. Ever penny spent
at home is a help to the town.
Trading done elsewhere sends
out of town money that should
circulate here. .

Parer From Grass.

Fsparto is not an agricultural prod
uct, and it seems fitting that the
leading export of the Trfpolitan people
should be a product of their own arid
land, wild and incapable of cultiva-
ton. Since 1868; when the first ship
load of esparto was sent to England,
vessels have borne away thousands OF
tons yearly to that country. You or I

chance and marvel at it's Eghtness,
and the reader of some London news
paper perus IS its columns and then
casts aside the finished product of the
esparto picker

215,155 camel loads came into the
coast towns, nearly $4,000 passed
through the gateway of the Suk-el.
Halfa, the total export of the country
amounting to about $4,000 tons. That
from the town of Tripoli, 16.690 tons,
brought $500 pounds, which was over
a fourth of the amount of her total ex-
ports.

The establishment of the
Northwestern Radiator plant
means a new era for Sauk Centre.
This is good little city and the
locating of this manufacturing
enterprise here will make it a
good deal better one. The un-
animity with which the business
men of the town took hold of
this project and the. expedition
with which they got at the work
of erecting the building exc tes
favorable comment everywhere.
Mr.. Holland, the inventor who
interested the business men in
this enterprise, says he never
saw anything like the hustle
and enthusiasm shown. Let
this example be followed in the
future and Sauk Centre cannot
fail to outstrip it's rivals.

ing two U. S. Senators, nine re,

out by the strength of his own
personality, and stands today
Minnesota's foremost citizen.
The campaign has been one of
unusual bitterness. Calumny,
wilful misrepresentation, the
powerful moneyed influence of

one of her girl pupils not long ago
about Elsie's frequent absences from
school.

SQUAD RAISING.
Good Profit but Plenty of Work In the
Business.

Gooo Prorlt but Plenty OF work IN the
Business.
A man who has made success of
raising squads for market says that
the business will pay any one who is
willing to give it careful attention.
His own stock consisted of 425 pairs
of pigeons. These produced in one
year 4,400 squobs for ma -ket. Squads
bring the breeder from 81 to 81 a doz-
en-, but the net profit is calculated by
this man to average about $1.50 a year
from each pair of birds.
Squads twelve hours old are called
peppers. When they are two days old
they are squeakers, and when they are
four weeks old they are squalers and
are ready Tor market. The standard
size for them at this time is eight
pounds to the dozen.
The best breeds are said to be HON.
ers and Dragons, but even with them
success cannot be had with poorly Sc
lected birds.

Too Free Speech.

The allegations made during a trial
for "blasphemy" raises the whole
question OF courtesy and kindliness in
public discussion. Ridicule and sar-
casm are permissible, and effective
weapons in debate, but mere vulgarity
and abuse, or irreverance in dealing
with subjects that are sacred to 9TH
ers, are not to be confounded with
free speech, and cannot be tolerated.
