hearing an application for an order Of man
darnus to compel Borough President
Gresser TO show cause why he should not
tear up sixteen sets OF tracks OF the Long

and the order, so Justice Gerretson ordered
a fury drawn to pass upon the facts and
make single proceeding out of the mat

U'LAUGHLIN FINDS FRICTION

John Callan O'Laughlin, for a
few months assistant Secretary of
State under Roosevelt, and at
present Washington correspon-
dent for the Chicago Tribune deals
with the " insurgent movement I"
in Minnesota in Sundays paper.
Mr.. O'Laughlin spent last week in
the Twin Cities and Duluth. He
says in part:
"The dissatisfied Republicans
have found way in which to ex-
press their discontent-and that
is through the medium of insur
gency. How effectively they have
registered their protest against
present leadership of the party has
been shown by the widespread re-
pudiation of Cannonism and Aldri-
chism, and by the results Of the
primaries in Iowa, Kansas, Me-
braska, and California; These re-
suits will be made more striking
when the vote is announced in the
primaries in Michigan, Wisconsin,
and Minnesota. .... III .....
Minnesota presents, an anomal-
Gus condition. Like Michigan, in
surgents in Minnesota lack a force
full, aggressive leader Curiously
enough, the insurgentacandidate for
the senate in Michigan was more
or less conservative in Washing
ton, while the insurgent candidate In
Minnesota is displaying conservation
at home, as opposed to virulent
progressiveness at the national
capital.
Both are criticised in the same
way for different reasons, but the
Minnesota ca ndidate, Moses, E.
Clapp, has no opposition whatever
for reelection.

A RARE OPPORTUNITY.

1t will be time and money well
spent to visit St. Paul and Mime
apolis next week, for in addition to
the usual state fair there are added
features which will make the trip a
feature of the lives of those who
attend.
The Conservation congress, which
it should be understood, is open to
the public, will be attended by at
least twenty-five governors, repre-.
sentatives of foreign nations, mem
bers of the cabinet, famous fnan-
ciers, railroad presidents, labor
leaders, prelates, women orators,
and towering above all, President
Taft and the worlds most spec
tacular fgure-Theodore Roosevelt.
But while this collection of in
teresting humanity is on display in
the St. Paul auditorium there will
be things that are also of special
interest at the fair, the most
fas cinating to many being the pro-
posed areoplaLe flights. Contestants
will be compelled to equip their
machines with eight cylinder en-
gines, which means that these man.
made birds will cut through the air
as handily as frightened hawk. To
the person who has never seen a
human being soar up a couple of
hundred feet into the air and do
stunts, such things may sound
skeptical and such persons are the
ones whose mouths will open widest
in wonder at the sight of Curtiss
or a Wright aeroplane playing tag
with the Clouds.
While the aeroplanes are skipping
about in the sky, Barney Oldfield
will be tearing around the track
with his banging 80 horse power
automobile, another feature which is
certain to make the blood tingle.
All of which recalls the small
boy on the heavy end of his fathers
grind-stone who, when he looked
up and saw his chums trudging
along the road with fish poles, said
" Gee, I wist I was goin'."

G0MPERS VERY OPTIMISTIC
Declares Labor Was Never in Better
Fighting Trim.

Washington, Aug. 29.-"Never was
the American Federation of Labor in
better fighting trim than today"
This is the note sounded in the
yearly Labor Day Review, which Pres
ident Gompers of the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor has prepared for
the Labor day edition of the Fedora
zionist, the official organ of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor. Gompers
says:
"Never were the various big inter-
national unions generally better pro-
vided with munitions for their strug-
giles; never was the movement strong
er in point of solidarity.
+ eve believe We can read in the
composite voice of the pulpit, the
press and the platform the encourag-
ing fact that the sentiment of the
people of American has in the last few
years turned towards recognition of
the necessity of trades unionism."

A REFRESHING BREATH.

Verify, times change. Under the
deplorable and discarded system,
editors, in the same town, were sup
posed to fight. Read this from the
Bemidji Sentinel:
IF. A. Wilson is the new editor on the
local daily.
"Mr. Wilson comes here from St. Paul,
where he has been connected with the
Dispatch.
"Heis man with good newspaper train
ing, it is said, and no doubt his experience
will be valuable addition to the already
able and efficient editorial force of our
contemporary.
Here's welcome. Mr.. Wilson, may your
editorial pathway be strewn with sweet
scented roses, and your day dreams
resound with adulation and HOMAGE"
Thanks, brother; and we are par
particularly fond of that kind of
roses, too.
