opened until Christmas" and be
sent several days in advance. One

for durum wheat in the United
States is Duluth. whence Il large part
of the export is forwarded to the sea-

were 23,OOO.OW bushels, of which
about nincty-iivc per cent was csti-
mated by the grain men to be for cx-
port. At this rate the total exports
forwarded through Duluth would have
been 22.OO.OOO bushels: the total cx-
ports from United States Atlantic
ports are Il .254649 bushels, and al
lowancc should be made for possible
exports through Montreal and also
for grain which left Duluth. but had

Minneapolis during the twelve
months ending juno 80. 1908. were
7.89S.l2O bushels. or l.22O.OW bushels
more than the corresponding period
in 1867. In each of these seasons
durum wheat constituted about ten
per cent of all the wheat received at
Minneapolis. Grain inspectors at
Chicago reported 900 cars (about 9OO..
GOO bushcls) received at that market
and $50 cars shipped during the yea,

labor in vogue ut the Essex county pen

reads in part 1T is the sense of this

be abolished in this institution and a
system incorporated whereby convicts
would make clothing for inmates of the

LABOR PARTY IN ENGLAND.

The annual conference of the Labor
Party, which has been sitting for the
last few days at Portsmouth, England
has declared itself in favor of socializa
tion of means of production, distrbu
ton and exchange, and of the complete
emancipation of labor from the denomina
tion of capitalism and landlordism, with
the establishment of social and econom-
ic equality for the sexes.
At the annual conference of the La
Dor Party at Hull last year, a similar
resolution was adopted At that same
conference a resolution making the So
cialist declaration a part of the Labor
Party constitution was rejected.
\ similar resolution at the present
conference was again rejected by n
vote of 100000 against 3l3, 1000. a de
creased vote against the proposed
amendment to the constitution.
The action of the present conference
is rcaffirmation of the resolution fol
Socialism adopted last year, but Social
ism is not yet included in the Labor
Party constitution.

the other day providing that Judges
should wear gowns when sitting on the
bench. This was referred to commit
tee which facctiously brought in ma
iority amendment that the gowns should
be lavender color and the wigs pink,
Then the senate proceeded to debate
this report for about two hours. Funny.
no doubt! The taxpayers of this state,
however who are paying the bills for
this do-nothing legislature, fail to see
the humor in the situation. How un-
reasonable for the common people to eX-
pcct work from their paid servants that
they sent down there to legislatc fol-
them, instead of horse play, and fill
bustering and delay!
