PHILADELPHIA STRIKE ENDS.

HE strike of the Philadelphia carmen has
ended and they will shortly return to
work, but it required all the influence of the
leaders to bring about the settlement The men
really voted by a small majority against accept
ing the terms OF the Rapid Transit Company
but the committee in charge Of the strike COM
manded that the trouble should be ended. Two
factions among the carmen have therefore devcl-
oped, which situation will not be for the good
of the union.
The contention among the men and the de-
cision of a majority Of them not to recede from
their position shows that it is not always the
leaders or the so-callcd agitators of labor
who bring about strikes or prevent their speedy
settlement.
1t seems that in the end neither side has won.
The company retreated from the position as
sumed when the strike began, and the men
have not got what they wanted by long shot.
Following a drawn battle therefore the proba-
bilities are that the trouble will be renewed be
fore many months. The former strike IN Phil
adelphia was settled in the same manner.
philadelphians arc figuring up the cost OF this
great contest. The amount of loss is appalling
and cannot be estimated. Only the direct dam
age can be got at. The companys losses have
been enormous reaching into the millions.
1t was this tremendous loss that caused the
company to change its attitude and offer terms
to the strikers Added TO the great expense OF
bringing strike breakers into the city, the COM
pdllN must ldAN SNpltS bl 'ldli"SN 'Hi'of i'i q
cidcnts have followed one after the other with
startling regularity and rapdty
I'm addition the company has suffered by the
thcving Of the strike breakers who did not ring
up the fares collected The amount stolen by
the "ny-by-night' strike breakers will aggrc-
gate a very large sum.
OF course the loss sustained by the strikers
is quite large and this cannot be made up. Then
again. those who went out sympathy strike
sacrificed considerable in wages The merchants
anil hotel keepers also have suffered to an eX-
tent that cannot be estimated. Altogether Phil
adelphia will not wish to see a repetition OF SO
disastrous a conflict. 1t has been the Chester
experience repeated on a much larger scale, al
though the men gained more than the Chester
strikers gained for the latter lost completely.
Phadelphians and Pennsylvanians may learn
lesson from this strike. They should have
learned it from Chester. There ought to be
some way in which such conflicts can be pre-
vented or settled quickly when they do happen
And this could be done by a Public Utilities
Commission which should have authority TO
bring about compulsory arbitration If neces
sary. Certainly the community has rights in
such matters that should be respected. Had the
Philadelphia dispute been submitted to arbitra-
tion the greater part Of the losses would have
been avered. Indeed, had Mr.. Earle who was
so conspicuous in the conflict possessed the
keen insight that he was credited with he
would have foreseen the disastrous consequences
that would follow a prolonged disturbance be
tween the Rapid Transit Company and its men.

he will not be a candidate for President again.
There has been a tumult of Democratic criticism

of time for him yet TO come IN as winner.

apolis, July Is. Mr.. Mirick was a
member of the Typographical union
and had followed the printers trade

family moved to Minnesota in 1855,
and to Princeton in the spring of 1857.
For many years he resided at Spencer
Brook and married his wife there,

Rebekahs and the Odd Fellows one
evening last week. The visitors
brought great freezer of ice cream
with them and proceeded Immediately
to start numerous amusements.
Music, profile sketching and various
other pastimes we're enjoyed.
Margaret I. King, on behalf of the
Rebekahs, presented Mrs. Whitney
and Edna with appropriate gifts
which, in future days, will recall to
mind the many happy hours spent
with Princeton friends and neighbors.

All Men Don't Know How.

More important than a one-mill
state road tax is legislation that will
require all roads taxes to be paid in
money, and the money to be properly
expended under intelligent super
vision.-Princeton Union.
We agree with the above that the
law should require that road taxes be
paid in money, and that the an
tiquated system of poll tax be done
away with. It would be just as rea-
sonable for all the taxpayers of q
community to gather and build q
school house as to meet and build q
road. ALI men don't know how to
build roads any more than all men

Hang On to Your Cows.

Farmers still continue to dispose of
their cattle on a falling market. The
increase in shipments to the South St..
Paul stock yards for July was almost
100 per cent more than for the same
month last year. The most de-
plorable feature of this movement to
rush live stock to market is that in
many instances dairy animals are
being sacrificed. We hope the dairy
farmers of this vicinity will make an
especial effort to hold on to their
dairy COWS. The indications are that
butter will soar to so cents per pound
the coming winter. Hang on to your
dairy cattle. The prices that butter
fat will bring this winter will justify
large expenditures for feed stuff for
dairy COWS.

A Competent County Auditor.

The Isanti county papers predict
that George G. Smith will have no
opposition for auditor of that county.
A man who discharges the duties Of
that important Office so promptly and
so efficiently as Mr.. Smith has should
have no opposition. If there is one
officer in county who earns his
salary it is the county auditor, and
when a competent man for that posi-
ton has been secured he should be
retained in Office as long as he cares
to serve-or until a man equally as
competent can take his place.

of Milaca are to be congratulated for
voting the means to add an agricuI-

Primary Filing Fees,

Chapter 95 laws of MINI. for 1909,
fixes the filing fee at the primary
election when the Office to be voted
for is in only one county at $1,000,
and the fling fee for members of the
legislature is only $1,000 in any
event. In short, the only candidates
who are required to pay $4,000 for
filing at the primary election are
candidates for congress and district
judges, when the district comprises
more than one county.

Canadian Pacific steamship Montrose

Inspector Dew of the Scotland Yard

of Canadian officers.
Dr.. Crippen, who is an American,
is supposed to have murdered his

Mrs. Crippen disappeared about that

she had gone to California for the
benefit of her health and died there.
Mrs. Crippen was a we'll known
actress and had numerous friends.
These friends became suspicious that
sheshad been foully dealt with and
they consulted with Scotland Yard

ONAMIABANKR0BBED
Yeggmen Blow the Safe and Get
Away With $4,000 on
Honday nornlng.
Editor Mackenzie Held Up and Blind
folded While the Robbers
Get in Their Work,

The First State Bank of Onamia
was robbed by yeggmen on Monday
morning between 2 and O'Clock.
The robbers made clean getaway
with about 81, 1000 in currency. Sheriff
Shockley was on the scene a few
hours after the robbery was COM
mitted and later detective, repre-
senting the Interstate Bankers Pro-
tective association, appeared. All
possible clues have been traced but
nothing has developed that tends to
unearth the criminals.
The robbers evidently were experts
for they worked coolly and systema-
tically, as c. b. Mackenzie, who
happened to pass the bank at the
time the yeggmen we're conducting
operations, testifes.
Mr.. Mackenzie was walking briskly
along the street, little thinking of
impending danger, when suddenly a
man stepped onto the walk before
him and presenting revolver
ordered, GLANDS up!'' Mr.. Mac
Kenzie lost no time in complying with
the command. The desperadoes
marched him across the street, care
fully searched him for weapons and
after pulling his cap over his eyes,
forced him to stand behind some bar
rels. One of the gang watched while
the other two worked.
It required three blasts of nitro
|glycerine, fired at intervals of fifteen
minutes each, to break open the safe.
The robbers then gathered up the
booty and disappeared in the dark
ness. Mackenzie quickly spread the
alarm but it was impossible to find
any trace of the miscreants.
All possible clues are being care
fully investigated but up to this time
no trace of the robbers has been
found.
A close watch is being kept at all
neighboring towns and no possible
pains are being spared to bring the
culprits to justice. Considering the
nature of the country, however, it is
more than likely that the freebooters
will make good their escape.
A man employed at the round house
saw the crooks at work at the bank
but he was too frightened to give an
alarm. The papers in the safe were
not molested, and there are no papers
missing that Cashier Burrell knows
of. The village marshal goes off duty
at IL O'Clock, hence that officer was
in the land of Nod for several hours
before the bank was looted. Mr.
Burrell talked with the Union at 10
O'Clock this morning and up to then
no trace of the yeggmen had been dis
covered. A new burglar-proof safe
and vault will be installed in the bank
at once. Heretofore the bank has had
no vault.
The bank was open for business the
next morning as usual, supply of
currency having been obtained from
Milaca.
J, The robbery does not in any manner
impair the resources of the bank as
the loss is fully covered by insur-
ance. J. 81. McGilvra is president
and F. R. Burrell, formerly of Prince.
ton, cashier. The bank has a capi.
talization of $4,000.
