what they mistakenly charge
against him-of putting their poll

When a man who has every
temptation, as Mr.. Gompers has,
toward the close of a career upon
the laurels of which he might rest,
to keep out Of political cyclones
and hurricanes, yet resists those
temptations because he realizes
ahead of the mass of his followers
that the cause of his life's devo-

to be weighed and measured by
unfriendly standards.

GOMPERS ENTERS BREACH
TO SAVE HIS COMRADES

Samuel Gompers of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, has taken
another courageous step which
should stand to his credit, along
with that Of himself and his as
sociates in the presidential cam
.paign of 1908. In speaking in
Wisconsin a few days ago he took
an unequivocal position in support
of the great political fight that
Senator La Toilette is making in
Wisconsin.
Let no one suppose that a man
In Mr.. Gompers' position can do
such things lightly. It would evil
IDENTIFY be easier for him to follow
the even tenor of his way as a
straight out trade unionist, leav-
ing politics alone. This was the
right course when his career as
leader Of the federation began.
1t is no longer the right course,
because politics, plutocratic poll
tics, won't let trade unionism
alone. But changing circum.
stances are not quickly realized
by al, and he who does realiza
them risks his reputation when he
tells it to the rest.
Easier, then, though it would
evidently be for Mr.. Gompers and
such as he to continue silent and
inactive politically, he is not in.
sensible to his duty in that regard
and for this he should have the
active support Of those who agree
with him and the respect of those
who do not.

POLITICAL FLOCK

Judge Jaques continues to receivs

republican persuasion, but that <does
NOT deter them from recognizing the
judges sterling qualities Of brain and
heart Among the rest the Interna-
t1onal Falls Echo, in it's issue - OF
August 49,, made the, following MEM
ton Of the judges recent visit to
that prosperous burg:
Judge Alfred jacques of Duluth,
Democratic candidate for congress

tr1ct,s was a caller here yesterday, he
being engaged in making a: tour of

came in contact. : ~ <
No argument, in the days of ran1-
pant and blind partyism, has been
used with more effect by the ex-
plotting machine politician and his
organ than the one of "maintaining
party organization" To this end ev-
cry principle, every truly patriotic
impulse had to bend. It is this same
spirit that would make Caucus king
and thus strangle in it's beginning any
progressive impulse. A bare majority
of a bare majoriy can thus control
the action of congress entire, even
though the minority of the caucus
and the minority of the house agree
as to wholesome public measures or
as to- the iniquity of the caucus pro-
gram.
Thus it was planned in the organ
ization of the Northern Securities
company to perpetuate the control Of
the combined Northern Pacific: and
Great Northern railroads in the hands
OF an actual minority. It is great
scheme.
It.. is, the argument that is now
urged in behalf of Congressman: Mil
Ter for going into the Republican
caucus that nominated Cannon tor
speaker and upheld the. old Cannon
rules and as an excuse for his vote
for Cannon and the rules in the final
show down. It i sa poor argument
at best to- offer to serious and candid
thinking people; but this year of all
years the people are tired of machine
politicians and machine methods and
the argument and excuse won't go:
They will want better reason why
