On Wednesday evening Urbosius
and Joseph Watkins had trouble in
Mazaikas' saloon on Bank street
Joe" went with pail to collect
money for new church Of which he
is said to be disciple. He passed
the pail around. Several dropped in
coins but suddenly some one gave 1t
kick and the money went in all d.
rections. Immediately there was a
fight which ended with the arrest of
Urbosius and Watkins. That was the
way it looked to the bartender Char
lie Manolga. Watkins said he did
not go in to collect money for
church. He was in quest of pail
OF beer. He had fifty cents in the
pail and according to his testimony
Urbosius grabbed it when he saw it.
He sneaked out the back door but
Watkins with Officer Fitzgerald later
found him In the rear of the saloon.
Officer Fitzgerald declared that
Watkins told him that he had been
robbed of dollar. On running
around to the rear of the saloon they
found Urbosius, and Watkins pointed
him out as the fellow who stole the
money. Urbosius did not intend to
go to the station without putting up
a fight so he made it interesting for
the officer until Patrolman Maurice
Healy arrived. Urbosius' better half
aided her husband in the battle.
Attorney Bobbin was Just about
to make a plea for his client when
the court interrupted him with the
words In the opening paragraph.
Watkins was fined SIS and costs for
drunkenness, probation officer.

Approves Principles
of Unions

= L am a manufacturer and an employer
of large number of men and women,
and it is natural that I should be asked
what Is my attitude toward labor, and
especially toward labor unions I desire
to go on record in the most unqualified
and emphatic way as to my approval of
the principle of the labor unions. Not
that I agree with everything that labor
unions have done, any more than agree
with everything the employers of labor
have done. The labor union idea has
always had my Endorsement. and I have
never been connected in any way with
any organization opposed to it.
Daniel Webster once said: There are
many objects Of great value to man,
which cannot be obtained by unconnect-
ed individuals, but must be attained, if
obtained at all, by association"
The leading aims of labor unions are
increase Of wages and shortening the
hours of labor necessary to earn them,
and q more equal distribution Of work
among Workmen. These aims are prac-
teal and praiseworthy, and they VIII be
attained more certainly and more quick
ly by united than by individual effort

The Gambling Trust

''TF ere is another evil in ST. Paul !"
said Joseph McKibbin. to Third ward
meeting, another class of bad houses,
and when we come to these houses they
amount to a trust pure and simple. l
speak of the professional gambling hous-
es. Gentlemen, gambling is against the
law. and the brace game is against every
idea of what is just and right. I am not
saying anything against the man who
wants to bet on a ball game or on any
other similar proposition. What + am
talking about is the professional gambler
who puts his victim up against a brace
game. And who are the victims? Thev
are the more susceptible, the young men
and the inexperienced. They are the peo-
pie upon whom the professional gamblers
feed. ne "!
And I want to talk plainly to you
about this. If you think it necessary
for the prosperity of our city for these
gambling joints to exist. don't vote for
me, for ] tell you, gentlemen, that il
elected mayor I will see that they are
suppressed. They may spring up from
time to time, but will keep after them,
and whenever they become active I will
also become active against them. But if
you believe professional gambling should

are not necessary to the prosperity or
our town. then 1 ask your vote
Coming to the saloon question. Mr.
McKfbbin illustrated his attitude toward
the liquor traffic by saying that the sale
of gunpowder and gasoline should be
regulated because of the danger which
would lie in their unrestricted sale and
storage. Just for the same reason the
liquor traffic should be regulated.

HoW Can You do 1t, Mr..
Kane?
p. Anetsberger,
"A. Martin,
Committee.

Ihomas r. Kane, who is marching UP
and down the length of the town, speak
ing foe the election of Dan Lawler and
the perpetuat1on of gang rule in St. Paul,
was at one time county attorney, and a
good one, too. Taxpayers will remember
that he was the legal adviser of the
board of county commissioners and they
will also remember that he did what he
could to hold the contractors to the terms
of their contracts. He was so industri-
Gus about this thing that at almost every
meeting of the county board Mr. Kane
was the focal point Of some kind of
fight. In those days Mr.. Kane stood for
law and law enforcement, and the Dis
patch wishes to give him credit for it.
Now, Mr.. Kane, you have heard about
the st. Anthony Park sewer contract, and
you have been told about the substitu-
ton of cheap brick for the brick set
forth in the specifications. The Dispatch
is Informed that you have looked into
the matter
What do you think about it, Mr. Kane?
Is it your present opinion that county
contractors should be held to the terms
of their contracts and that city con-
tractors should not?
If that was a county contract. and if
you, as county attorney, had to approve
the estimates, would you, knowing what
you know about the substitution of cheap
brick, approve the estimate and advise
payment in full?
Did you ever 90 such thing while
county attorney? The Dispatch has fol-
lowed your record in office and is of the
opinion that you at all times attempted
to act on the square with the taxpayers.
Now, Mr.. Kane. how can you get out
and speak for such a bunch that is doing
just that sort of thing?
How can you do it, Mr.. Kane?

Special Privileges Must End

-. s r.
Every candidate declares, in a general
way, his opposition to special privi-
leges,'' but most candidates fail to speci-
fly just what they mean by the term.
Mr.. McKibbin explicitly includes, among
the special privileges which he will
abolish, the wine room. the selling Of
liquor to minors, and the protection to
policy shops. In an interview printed
some days ago, he made his position per-
fectly clear.
Mr.. McKibbin. are you in favor of
the closing of wine rooms?''
IT most certainly am, and I believe
that every good citizen holds the same
views
Are you in favor of prohibiting the
sale of liquor to minors?''
II regard this as an imperative neces-
sity for the future generation of the city
Of st. Paul that this law should be en-
forced to the very letter.
what are your ideas about gambling
and policy shops?" a.
''The detrimental effects of games Of
chance Cannot be emphasized too strong
ly, and while do not know very much
about this policy game that you. speak
of, I have been informed that there are
public drawings in this game and tickets
sold in all parts of the city at such low
who can least afford it, and that the
game is always stacked against the in
weston This holding forth the glittering
possibility of making quite little money
by investing Is or 50 cents cannot help
but be a dangerous menace to the COM
mercial morality of the community, and
ought to be eradicated."
What are your views as to the effects
of the Sunday closing?'' ..
my opinion is that the saloons should
be kept closed all day Sunday-not from
religious views, but because it is for the
best interest of all the people. No mat
ter what may be said for open saloons
on Sunday in other countries, experience
has shown that it is better for the Amer
lean people to keep them closed"
How about the II o'clock lid?
II have expressed my views as to the
II O'Clock lid. These were the opinions
of private citizen as to the reasonable
ness Of the law, but public officials have
only one duty. and that is to obey and
enforce the law. Such a public official
cannot take upon himself the legislative
power of determining the wisdom Of the
law"
