uvd Rather Die, Doctor
To The Voters OF Manitowoc County.

Reports have come to me that certain
persons are criticizing and misrepresent-
ing certain cases and other matters.
Some of the most contemplate and Wei
ous falsehoods are also being circulated
with view toward injuring my csndi'
dacy. Thus far have paid no attention
to them believing that they would re-
vert to the injury of the perpetrators
themselves. l hope that these methods
will meet with decisive rebnke at the
polls on April 6. l trust and feel that
the good people of Manitowoc County
where have been born and reared and
lived all my life and by whom | am
known and from whom | have nothing
to hide, will not be misled thereby.
Sincerely,
80 ALBERT H. SCHMIDT.

The Publishers of Webster's international

We are of the opinion that this allegation
most early and accurately describes the
work That has been accomplished and the
result that has been reached. The Dictionary
as it now stands, has been thoroughly re-
edited in every detail, has been corrected in
every part, and is admirably adapted to meet
the larger and severer requirements of a
generation which demands more of popular
pathological knowledge than any generation
that the world has ever contained.
1t is perhaps needless to add that we refer

A meeting of the new council will
be held at the Office of the city clerk
on April 2Oth for the purpose OF or
ganlzation. The only new addition
that there will be to the council is
John Embury who was elected to
the office of Alderman from the sixth
ward. A successor will have to be
named to Peter LaBrash. who re-
signed from the first ward. At this
meeting new committees will be sp-
pointed and other business will be
attended to, An effort will be made
at this meeting to elect new set OF
officers for the city, some seeming
to think that the city officers are
only appointed for one year term.
There is difference OF opinion as to
this and the question will very likely
be fought out. 1t is our opinion
that the present city officers who
were appointed last spring hold
their office for two years, the same
as the city officers that were elected.

I'm every rank both great and small,
It's industry that supports us ALL"

Early in the week the Labor World
office was honored by call from
Hugo V. Koch, a factory inspector,
representing the State Bureau or La
Dor, Industries and Commerce. 49,
Mr.. Koch was appointed to the posi-
tion by the former incumbent Of the
State Labor Commissioners office, and
when Mr.. MeEwen succeeded to the
duties, he continued Mr.. Koch as fac
tory inspector for the same district
as formerly, but somewhat enlarged
the sphere of his activities. r.5
lMr. Koch impresses us as being
more thoughtful, than talkative, and
seems perfectly willing that what he
knows shall: find expression in what
he does. After all, it is intelligent and
useful action that gives true value an0
commentator to knowing. Actions
and actions only determine ones in
d1vidual worth as a public officer, said
some writer; or, If no writer said so,
we say 1t now ourself and we are
very sure no one will be presumptuous
enough to dispute our authority. $.jE?
IN addition to being an efficient
off1cer, MT. Koch has record that
Will vindicete the good opinion enter
tanned Of him In the State Department
OF Labor. He served four successive
terms as General President Of the IN
ternat1onal Association OF Furworkers,
and he now holds the position of De-
partment Commander of Minnesota

ical positions are not always indicative
Of merit, but positions such al those
stated always are -.. tz>.s. 4. K. IA
Mr. Koch was highly complimentary
70 Duluth and its people, and spoke
with much warmth and enthusiasm
about the high purpose, firm resolve.
and dauntlcss spirit manifested by our
citizens in all their industrial una aer.-
fakings; and, although not a citizen of
Duluth, -''tll he said he always referred to
It with pride when visiting other
states. "Oh, yes" continued Mr. Koch:
