and be denied the privilege Of sweat

seems to be the condition in the loco

world owes no mar a living. And If
any large class Of .nen are divorced
from opportunity to work, If the world
does not owe them living, what. is
their predicament? They are not to
blame. Where jobs are plentier than

disappears, What about the fellow

workers? Docs any one owe him a

1t is gratifying to note that all

portance to the cause of organized
labor of the coming Red Wing con

So far as heard from, every union
in the city will have it's full quota
of delegates at the Federation. meet

luth contingent will compare very
favorably with their brethren from
other cities.
The women are determined not
to be. excelled by the men, and so
the Woman's Label League have
already arranged to send three dele
gates. :. -
II we remember correctly, Duluth
Is entitled to the honor of having
been the first city in the state, to
send delegates from a Label League

COMMISSION GOVERNMENT

| rof Cne past year Or two maiv
cities have =: been. rushing headlong
| into adopting the commission form Of
city government; and even vet. the
opinion seems to prevail in localities
where the Idea is new, that the COM
mission form. is. the great panacea for
| all the ills that now afflict municipal
government. Graft and corruption are
supposed to vanish before it like dew
before the rising sun. ;:..-.."
We live Imam! IN an age Of fads; we have
fads in science. fads in religion. fads
In politics. fads in everything, and
why not IN municipal government.
The strange feature Of it all is that
practically every fad-scientific, reli-
gious and political, is in the last analy-
sis based upon g juggling with words.
For instance, the religious fad of elm
mating SIN. sickness and death from
human experience Is: essentially a.
species Of. jugglery< based upon words.
The old conditions remain in all their
integrity, but their names are changed.
the name death is banished from
the voca!bu 1ll1:, IS the faddists and
the new name df :: passing over" is
substituted, therefor; the word "error''
takes ta1as5Qaoe OF sim; and as for
sickness, # doesn't exist. at ali, but
L .
only ina sens" OF It. Thus passing
over" error and. Sense" completely
annih Hate the old terms, and every
body is happy; or pretends to he.
We have a lurking: suspicion that the
commission form OF city government
is also, in it's last analysis, a Juggling
with words. The cities that expert
mented With It have already discovered
that although names have completely
changed, the Old conditions remain.
A man who is, incompetent or corrupt
when called an alderman" will NOT
be improved by calling him "comnis-
s1oner," except just so far as the nov
city Of the change may affect him for
a little. while. This is the experience
| OF Dies Moines. The people discovered
That a successful municipal govern
ment is wholly=dependent upon having
It administered by good, competent
men, and that it makes little difference
whether these men be called aldermen
or commissioners. -
There is one feature Of the commits.
sion form Of government, however.
that might be a proper subject for
debate in Duluth: 1t;is to have all the
aldermen elected TAT large. instead Of
by wards. A good deal can. be said.
pro and upon that question. Some at
the older cities in the. Nation have
found it advantageous to elect one-halt
the number Of aldermen at large and
/ the other half by wards. 49,.
Theoretically we lean towards the
half and half plan; but our conc1,,-
sion Of the whole matter is, that civic
righteousness in fact, is Of more conse-
quence than nomenclature, and if the
people elect the right kind of men It
makes little difference whether thev
be called aide rn1en or omnoissioners
