These committees have taken up
the fight with yigor and determina-
ton, resolved to make such a fight
as will certainly terminate in the
triumphant election of Judge Jaques,
who is conceded to be in the best
strategic position of any Dem ocratic
candidate who ever tried for. the
honor in this district.
In the first place it is universally
recognized that Congressman Miller
utterly and completely repudiated- and
ignored his solemn promise to the
people of this district to vote against
Cannon, first, last and all the time.
At no time did he carry on with any
degree Of diligence or sincerity his
promised effort in behalf of the work
ing people of the country: He could
not do that, training as he did with
such ardent believers in "the ruling
class as Knute Nelson, senior sem
ator from Minnesota, and Fred c.
Stevens, St.. Paul's contribution to
the aggregation of make-believe i'm
surgents. From Mr.. Miller's point of
view, the defeat Of James A. Taw-
ney in the First Congressional dis
trict was the saddest, most sorrow
full thing about the, whole primary
election. That classifies Mr.. Miller
sufficiently, it would seem.
The counts in the, indictment
against Defendant Miller are innum-
cradle The Congressional Record is
sprinkled with them, even though he
is conceded to be one the slickest
dodgers of responsibility that eve,
sat in congress as a representative OF
a Minnesota district. -. l.. ~

TEST PLACED ILLINOIS
IN REACTIONARY GLASS

The recent failure OF the Illinois
committee on industrial insurance
to draft a legislative program is
not matter of Encouragement.
The movement in this country
toward justice in dealing with in
jured workingmen has advanced
too far to be seriously affected by
the inability of any committee to
cope with the task assigned to it.
The Illinois committee was
given an opportunity to be of real
and lasting service to the state,
and incidentally to the whole ma
ton; and it fell down.
We do not know the inner rea,
SONS for this. But whatever they
may be, the fact remains that Hi.

sive legislation covering employ
ers' liability and compensation fol-
industrial accidents.
And other states will 60 on. The
present unjust and wasteful sys
tenn cannot last. New York, Wis

ture-will cease to be a reproacl

Emil Scllmied i'm the Public.


When Theodore Roosevelt spoke
here, in Pittsburg, I sat at his feet
literally, l mean, and not altogether
as Paul at the feet of Gamaliel.
Through the courtesy of Allen T.
Burns, secretary Of the Civic Com
mission, I had seat in the press gall
lery, which happened in this case to
be in "the pit" and directly in front
of the speaker. I could hear every
word clearly, could see every gesture
distinctly, and above all could OBJ
serve in minute detail those curious
facial contortions which made Mr..
Roosevelt's oratory peculiar.
1t was intensely interesting.
If I could, l wished to find out
what the magic is of this mans
clutch upon the popular magma
ton. And as I sat and looked and
listened, those contortions, that
square build. the bull neck and bull
let head, those grotesque gestures,
those tupperian sentiments in stem
torian tones and with the masterful
manner Of the inergant, grew more
! and more luminous as interpreters to
me of this singular mans singular
popularity
A brilliant preface in the daily
press, always eager to exploit any
thing theatrical, and startling in
dex Of contents, appear to be the
qualities that make this animate

HAVE YOU MET HIM?

Did you ever come in contact
with the fellow who says he be-
lieves in labor unions if properly
conducted?
One fault he will tell of is that
the unions ask the same pay for
all their men and in his opinion
the men should be graded, in 9th.
er words, sliding scale should
be paid. If some of them had the
making Of the scale it would in,
deed be a sliding one.
What organized labor demands
is minimum scale Of wages, anil
that set by the union. The boss
can pay what he chooses over
that scale, but he must not pay
under it. -
The whole thing in a nutshell is
that a labor organization would
become a mutual admiration 50:
ciety if men were allowed to work

hand, Ia a straight forward, clear
| seeing, honest and conscientious man,
devoid of any of the attributes of the
self-seek1ng politician, but imbued
with an ambition to do what he can
to give the Eighth congressional dis
trlct an opportunity to send to con-
gress a. man with backbone enough
to keep his pledges after he reaches
Washington. His platform breathes
the spirit of resolve and rectitude, and
wherever it is read and discussed votes
are made for Judge Jaques.
The normal Republican majority in
this district is great enough to dis
hearten many a strong man who is
urged to go against it, but, once he
made up his mind that the demand
for his candidacy was real and earn
est, Judge Jaques accepted the task
cheerfully, determined to make the
best fight that it was possible to
make.
Since then a number of things
have happened, notably in Maine, in
Washington, in California, and in
New York state. These happenings
point unerringly to Democratic sue
cess this fall, and there is every rea-
son to believe that the feeling which
brought about Democratic success in
rock-ribbed Maine Is much stronger
in the Eighth congressional district
of Minnesota even than it is in Maine.
