governments.
According to the reports that have
been brought to this city, the Btna,
which is now utilized as a training
ship. appeared about Z o'clock Sun
aay morning, while target practice
was in progress. The existing code
of naval etiquette recognizes privacy

according to precedent, the Etna
should have turned her stern to the
squadron and continued her journey
up the coast.
According TO the report current
here, the foreign vessel steamed de-

SANTIAM
BRIDGE
MATTERS

The matter Of a county road from
Elkhorn to the Gold Creek mining
camps is again before the county
court, and Attorney A. o. Condit is
arguing the case on the petitioners
side today.
Last year the county court, on the
petition of several interested citizens
of Marion county, donated $1,000 for
building bridges along the proposed
road with the understanding that the
petitioners and other taxpayers along
the road would do the balance OF the
road construction. At the time Il was
not understood by the county court
that the road was a public thorough
fare, having been laid on in COM
pliance TO the law, and now that the
petitioners have the road built as
far as possible, without the construc-
tion of more bridges, another petit
tion, the one being presented today,
informs the court that the petition
ers are now prepared to receive the
bridges, and have everything in read
mess to complete the road as soon NJ
the bridges have been installed.
The county court is not in favor OF
making another donation. which
would be as large II not larger than
the one made last year for the same
cause. but the representations OF the
petitioners argues that upon the or
der OF the court to establish tho
road the petitioners went ahead with
the work with the understanding that
the county would stand for the ex-
pense Of bridges, and II is no more
than fair, since the petitioners have
expended an immense sum OF money
in constructing the road, that the
county should bear the remainder oi
the expenses in building bridges. The
court will probably come to a de-
cision on the matter either tonight ol
tomorrow morning.

"SCAB" DEFINED
BY ROBT. HUNTER
PLAYING THE PART OF JUDAS HE
RETRAYs THE MEN WHO FIGHT
FOR HIS sALVATioN--Is BENE-
FITTED BY FIGHT OF UNION
ISM.

Every social order devolves it's own
ethics. Even in the same social or
der there are at least two codes Of
ethics. The exploiter has his code;
the exploited his.
When a man robs another he in
lures one man. When man is
drunken he is addicted TO vice, is idle
and shiftless, he injuries himself more
than another.
But the 'scab'' sins against man
kind.
A group of men come together mu-
tually pledged to support one another.
They are struggling against great OBJ
stacles for better conditions of life
for themselves and their families. BY
sacrifice, by the payA cnt of dues, by
the slow and arduous work OF organi-
cation they raise to decency and self
respect the mass of workers.
Their struggle is as vital to the
progress of humanity as any battle
that was ever fought. No war ever
decided an issue more important.
What they seek for themselves they
seek for all mankind, and no creature
is so poor and helpless as to be out
side the horizon of their effort.
In the midst of their conflict, men
suffering the same evils and oppres-
sions they suffer, go over to aid and
comfort the oppressors.
Playing the part of Judas, they be-
tray to the executioner those who are
fighting for their salvation as for
their own.
The "scab" is ont only condemned
by his fellow workers, he is also
pushed aside and scorned as soon as
the conflict is over by those to whom
he sells himself He is used when 1t
serves his master to use him. Even
though he succeeds in breaking the
union of his fellows, in humilating his
comrades and in helping to fasten up
on them again, and himself as well,
the yoke of slavery, the oppressor has
no thought TO give him thanks.
AS a workingnan the "scab bene-
fits with other workingmen by the
conquest of unionism, When wages
are raised. hours shortened, machines
guarded factories made sanitary,
mines made safe, he also benefits. But
the beneft comes to him as pennies

is A GREAT INCENTIVE
Fargo Unions Are Already Awakening
to Importance of 1910
Convention.

Organized labor of Fargo is already
feeling the impetus given it by the
fact that the 1910 convention of the
Minnesota state federation of labor
will be held in this city The certainty
of holding the convention here viii be
a great incentive to more thorough or
ganization, not only in Fargo, but
throughout the whole state of North
Dakota as well. 1t is anticipated that
number of towns of the state will
have delegates at the Fargo conven-
tion in 1910. At present there are nine
Fargo and two Grand Forks unions
affiliated with the Minnesota state
federation. With a rousing convention
in Fargo there is every reason to be-
lieve that state federation will be
organized in North Dakota in the near
future.
