! At the convention of the American
Federation Of Labor at Toronto last
week q report On the question OF in
dustrial education was unanimously
Endorsed by the delegates. The re-
port favored the general adjustment

public school system at which pupils
between the ages of IA and l6 may be

make them general throughout the

In spite of the fact that fashionable,
emotional Parisians sympathize with
Madame Steinheil in the ordeal which
she has undergone at the hands of the
judge advocate, the majority of them
doubtless believe that she is guilty Of
the murder charges preferred against
her. Paris is city of intrigues- "a
city of sensationalism. It is city
where immortality reigns supreme, ,es-
pecially among the aristocracy, and
to cover up their liaisons women-and
men too, for that matter resort to
crimes innumerable. Madame Stein
he'll, we're she so inclined, could mo
doubt unfold a tale that would in
criminate more than one man who

L. W. Hill, president of the Great
Northern railway, gave a readable
interview to a New York reporter last
Saturday. Among other things he
said:
Everybody must admit that Presi-
dent Taft is an all around practical
man, true American. He is able to
appreciate the needs of the people and
knows how far he dare 60 to get
things for different sections. S
''This country has many different
social, political and economic ques-
tions which must be met. We need
more homes for our people. You
imagine you are the whole show here
in New York, wheresyou live in fats
and stories Up, Godsonly knows bow
far from earth, and.zlose most of THE
good thing spf life. If you get to ST.

you will be surprised to see the people
who live without killing themselves.

At the time of the Chisholm fire the

contributed to this fund.- The News
Tribune is justified in saying: est.

GROWING distinction to it's long list
of causes for justifable pride. For
the first time in Minnesota, and, so

considerable part of the contributions

A deplorable state of affairs exist
at Cairo, III. The mayor of the city
admits candidly that crimes in
Vulnerable have gone unpunished-
that 'there has not been an official
execution for ten or fifteen years and
yet the city has had it's share of
murders. Juries have failed to con-
vict in homicide cases and it has been
easy for murderers to escape" AS a
result the citizens took the law into
their own hands last Thursday night
and lynched negro and a white
man. The people had tired of the
farcical application of the law-the
miscarriage of justice-and under the
existing conditions they can scarcely
be blamed for the course which they
pursued.

AS a presiding officer of conven-
ton, where he is interested in one of
the candidates, Hon. George P.
Wilson of Minneapolis can be both
narrow and dictatorial, but as state
senator he is invaluable. We heartily
agree with the Fergus Falls Journal
when it says:
Senator Wilson is recognized as
the father of the senate and is un-
questionably the ablest legislator in
the senate and his retirement would
greatly impair the standing of the
Hennepin delegation. Senator Wilson
is not only recognized as an able
man throughout the state but he has
the confidence of the members of both
bodies to far greater extent than
anyone who has represented Hennepin
for many years." Nj

THE JOHNSON MEMORIAL FUND.

The Dunn Family the Only Contributors to
the Fund from Princeton.
We have received a letter from G.
W. Ames of St. Paul, secretary of
the Johnson memorial commission, in
which he states that up to date only
$1,000 had been received from Mile
Laos county-Foreston, SlO0; Law
renee, $500; Milaca, $500; Princeton,
$500. Since the letter was written
County Superintendent Ewing has for
warded $22.42. But even then the
county makes poor showing. On
the first day of October a check for
s4.00-contributed by r. G. Dunn,
wife, son and daughter was mailed
the Pioneer Press by the publisher of
the Union, and that seems to be the
only contribution from Princeton.
The Union will not solicit for the
fund, but any subscriptions handed us
will be receipted for and promptly
forwarded to the treasurer of :, the
memorial commission.

So readily did the people respond
to the call for aid when Chisholm was
devastated by fire that more money
reached the treasurer of the relief fund
than was necessary to meet the re-
quirements and, as a consequent re-
suit, 81 per cent of the contributions
has been returned to. the donors. It
is seldom that money contributed for
purposes of this kind ever finds it's
way back into the hands of those who
donate lit is usually consumed for
some purpose or other. The return of
this surplus speaks we'll for the
honesty of the FIRE relief fund COM

The decision to place on exhibition
at the irrigation congress in Chicago
samples of the various soils of Min

is good one, as it will do much

The census law requires the farmer
to report the number of COWS he kept
for dairy purposes in 1909, the total
amount of milk produced, the amount
of butter and cheese sold and the
amount received from such sale.-

Before giving such information,

the average farmer might be expected
to demand proof that the enumeration
is not an assessor in disguise.

DULUTH,S BEST HUSTLER.

The Zenith City is blessed with q
class Of as energetic, go-ahead bust.
ness men as any city of double it's
dimensions in the Northwest, and
among it's hustlers G.A G.. Hartley
stands at the head of the list. Mr..
Hartley is not ambitious politically
away back in the early eighties be
represented in part the old Thirty
ninth district, comprised of the
counties of Grow Wing, Morrison,
Todd, Benton and Mile Laos, one
session in the legislature, and he
made an excellent record: he served
part of term as register of the Du-
luth land Office: and he was delegate
at-large to the republican national
convention of 1888. For years he has
been foremost in every business prof.
ect that would make for the up build
ing of Duluth and northeastern Min
nesota. He is especially interested in
demonstrating that systematic and in
telligent farming in northeastern Min
nesota can be made profitable, and he
is the owner of several model farms.
What this state needs is few men of
Mr.. Hartley's vim and ability to
represent it in Washington. At
present Minnesota has eleven lawyers
representing it in congress. There
are too many lawyers in congress. If
there we're fewer lawyers and moro
level-headed, progressive farmers and
business men in that body there would
be a better prospect of securing some
of the remedial legislation demanded
by the people. With few live, practi-
cal men like Gil. Hartley in the
national legislature there would be
something doing.
In this connection the subjoined
editorial paragraph from the St.
Cloud Journal-Press is pertinent, and
we would simply add there is no man
better qualified to represent the North
Star state in either branch of the
national legislature than G.. G. Hart
Icy of Duluth: .,.
"The Range newspapers are boom
ing G.. G.. Hartley of Duluth as a
good man to send to congress. Gil.
Hartley is one of the nerviest hustlers
in Minnesota, and he has excellent
judgment, which is manifest by his
success. He went to Duluth few
hundred thousand dollars in debt,
and soon discovered that he never
would get even with the world on a
salary of So, 900 year as receiver of
the Duluth land Office. With him to-
decide is to act, and SO he fired in a
telegram to Grover Cleveland resign
ing the Office. He then went to boost
ing Duluth, and has had a hand in
most of the big things doing since.
If he we're sent to congress Duluth
would have live man on deck all the
time. And when it comes to indie
pendence-Gil. would have Aldrich,
Cannon and Cummins all backed off
the boards" ....
