Labor and Politics.

On the eve of another congressional
campaign 1t is apparent that labor is
again to try the political game. The
executive council of the American Fed
Grafton Of Labor, at it's recent session
in Washington, reafiirmed previous ac-
ton taken and adopted resolutions to
advocate the independent use of the
ballot by all the trades unionists and
workmen for the purpose of electing
representatives to congress who will
promote such legislation as labor feels
1t needs.
The legislative demands that will be
pressed by the federation are anti-in-
junction legislation, the eight hour bill
fixing eight hours as the limit of a
days work, and an amendment to the
Sherman anti-trus law exempting or
CARNATIONS of workmen from its pro-
visions.
Not only is 1t the intention Of the
executive council that members Of con-
gress shall be sought who will favor
this legislative programme, but it is for
the purpose 70 have the local unions
endeavor to secure the election Of mem
bers Of the state legislatures who are
favorably disposed to labor's interests.

NOTES FROM THE AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE


President Worst made trip across
the state on the Great Northern line
Tuesday and wednesday, and reports
that crops are in bad condition ex.
cept in a few localities.
Prof. G. w. Rendlett is teaching
agriculture in the university summer
school at Grand Forks.
Prof. G.. L. Martin had charge of
the dairy contest at the Grand Forks
fair.
Prof. e. S. Keene is in charge of the
A. c. extension department exhibit
at the Grand Forks fair. He is as
sisted by Mrs. L. Campbell of the home
economic department and by Prof. f.
M. Dolve of the mechanics depart
ment.
The catalogue of the veterinary de-
partment is just from the press. 1t
describes the new building as well as
the apparatus and equipment. At
present the first two years OF reg
ular four year course will be given.
High schools preparation is required
for entrance. The course is very
thorough and prepares students to en-
ter the junior year of the best veter-
mary colleges. The board decided that
1t was best to give the first two years
thoroughly rather thai. to make a
short course. as so many veterinary
colleges are giving short courses and
sending out students into the work
with insufficient preparation. This
should be quite a place for this vet

Three BANDS FOR
THE STATE FAIR
FIRST REGIMENT BAND FROM
LISBON AND DEVILS LAKE COR

+ DR.. PuTNAM's AGGREGATION IN
FURNISHING MUSIC.

There will be plenty of music at the
state fair next week, for some of the
finest bands in the state have been Sc
cured for the entire week. Music is
one of the requirements of great fair,
and the management has done it's ut
most to supply it in large quantities.
There will be five bands on the grounds
during the week.
DR.. Putnam's big band of thirty
pieces will give the opening concerts on
Monday morning on the streets as well
as during the afternoon and evenings
and his band will be seen every day
of the fair, and as has been stated in
The Forum there have been many new
pieces of music secured for the weeks
programme
Another band that will attract a
great deal of attention is the First
Regiment band Of the National Guard
Of North Dakota. This hand is located
in the town OF Lisbon and is fine

heard here before and always gave sat-
| isfaction, and the boys have been in
dustriously rehearsing for this occa-
sion.

grounds, belonging to the Patterson

LABOR PARADE
TO Be ELIMINATED
UNITED HOSTS OF WoRKMEN
WILL NOT MARCH STREETS OF
FARGo-RooSEVELT WILL BE
SUFFICIENT ATTRACTION FOR
THE DAY.

Despite the fact that Fargo labor
will entertain the Cltys most distin-
gaished guest In years enc of the two
foremost men of the nation on Labor
day, 1t Is the general cencensus of
opinion that the usual Labor Day pa
rade will be eliminated this year.
It Is net that Fargo labor leaders
underestimate the Importance of their
national holiday, that leads them to
decision. Nor Is 1t that they de not
appreciate the Importance of the cele-
bratlen this year and what 1t means
to the city of Fargo as well as to the
state Of North Dakota. No one realizes
mere fully what 1t means to have
Roosevelt in town than the union men,
especially when they are acting as the
hosts of the occasion. They feel, how
ever, that Roosevelt is sufficient in
himself, and that 1t would be little they
could do to add anything to embellish
the celebration by paradlng the crowd
ed streets Of the city.
The coming of the former president
will bring the largest crowd that has
ever cOngregated in Fargo. Not only
will North Dakota be fully represented
but there will doubtless be an adequate
delegation from almost every adjoin-
ing county In Minnesota. AS crowded
as Broadway will be, little room will
be left for parade Of any kind, and
the laboring men know this and they
do not wish to fatigue the city's Wis
itors with tediously long parade when
the outsiders have come to see the
modern nimrod.
So it has almost been definitely de-
cided upon to dispense with the parade
entirely, as had been the original in
