The Edmonds Tribune Review has the
following to say in part of the Sno
homish County Grange which held a
spirited convention in that city last
week. The grange is becoming a pow
erful factor and its members are evinc.
ing an interest in public questions that
augurs ill for political leaders and
would-be office holders who persist in
clinging to the old machine order of
political msrule:
"The Snohomish County Grange is
steadily growing in favor with the
farming class and other progressive
elements of the poplation. While the
grange policy is non-partisan it is hot
footing it after grafters and deceptive
office seekers. 1t furnishes a pretty
good sized bunch of office seekers from
its own fold but that is no sign they
will be elected. While the individual
members seem to be mostly of the
progressive" stamp, no man whatever
is endorsed for any political office.
"Some of the vital issues the Sno-
homsh Pomona stands for are these
Direct legislation, the recall nomina-
tion of supreme court judges by the
people, county local option unit, fe-
male suffrage, pledging legislative can
didates to vote for the peoples choice
as United States senator township or

scheme of agricultural education in
high schools and other common schools.

Joe CANNON
CLASSIFIED
Kansas Insurgent Wipes
Floor With House Gear,
the Iron Duke of Ameri-
can Politics.

Everett citizens were given a chance
to observe the insurgent movement at
close range last Monday evening when
Victor Murdock, of Kansas, addressed
an enthusiastic audience at the Ever
EFT theatre. From the close attention
and frequent applause given it was not
hard to tell where the sympathy of his
hearers lay. And it was a fairly rep
resentative audience. Just sprink-
ling of politicians in the building, but
for the most part the theatre was filled
with the plain, every day kind of voters
the fellows who work with hand and
brain at moderate salaries. They are
the men who are going to settle the
policies of government in the last ana
lysis. Let them see clearly the issues
involved and they may be depended
upon.
| Mr.. Murdock made his issue verv
clear. No man who heard his plain,
straightforward story of the struggle
in congress to make of the lower house
representative body in the true sense
of the word, was left IN ioubt as to the
strangle hold Big Business has held on
legislation through its control of the
speaker and the house rules.
Mr.. Cannon was handled without
gloves. There was no grand old man"
nor 'Iron Duke of American politics"
in his portrayal of the speaker. No
harpOon in one hand and garland in
the other. That Scotch jaw OF Mr..
Murdocks doesn't lend itself to com
promise. He pictured Mr. Cannon just
as he saw him: the willing tool of the
Interests and the rock on which for
thirty years progressive legislation has
| foundered.
A decided humorous vein ran through
the address which captivated the audi
ence. Mr.. MurdOck is not a pessimist
nor does he believe the country is on
the verge of ruin. He believes in the
sound horse sense of the American peO-
pie and their ability to solve any public
question. 1t is his mission to point
out dangers and he is willing to work
with the people in remedying condi
tions. But he can fight when occa
sion offers as the old gang in congress
found out. Those square jawed Scotch
men generally can fight and to good
purpose.
Mr.. Murdock is a splendid type of
the young man in public life. Only
thirty nine years old, trained jour
nalist, experienced in the political game,
he has brilliant future ahead of him.
A high tribute was paid to Mr..
Poindexter. Mr.. Murdock watched his
career in congress closely and says of
him that he never backed up on any
public measure but stood for the people
as against the Interests with courage
and ability. He declared that Mr..
portant legislation and that he was
needed in congress. Voters of this state
were assured that if they would send
Miles c. Poindexter to the United
State senate the time would soon
come when he would belong not alone
to Washington, but to Kansas and
Nebraska and the nation. No higher
tribute could be paid to any man.
Did Murdock make voters for Poin-
dexter? Ask the men you meet on the
street, in the workshop, on the farm,
in the office and store. The great
tide of public sympathy is running
stronger toward him every day and will
reach its flood on September 18th.

LABOR DAY
DRAWS NEAR
Committee Working Hard
to Insure a Very Sue
cessful Celebration of
the Annual Holiday.

Labor Day preparations are going
ahead with all speed and the only un.
known quantity is the weather. If
Old Sol is propitious on that day the
celebration will be all that could be
expected
The day will begin with the grand
industrial parade at 10 a. m. This will
be the feature of the day. Practically
every union in the city will turn out
in full force and the union forces will
be augmented by platoon of police
in full uniform. The parade
will be in three sections with a band
leading each section. The head of the
procession will be at the cornJr of
Rucker and Hewitt, march down Hewitt
to Chestnut and countermarch to the
Fair Grounds where the procession will
disband. Several finely decorated
floats will be in line and liberal prize
will be given to the best decorated and
best appearing one.
The Fair Grounds will be thrown
open to the general public at 1890
and the exercises will begin at 1880
sharp. William Blackman, of Spokane,
ex state labor commissioner, and P. X
Mohr, of Seattle, of the Seattle Central
body will be the speakers of the day.
Both men are well known to urionists
throughout the state and are well in
formed on the general labor movement.
Able addresses are to be expected.
The sports committee have prepared
a list of contests which will fill the
afternoon full of high class amuse-
ments. The list which follows speaks
for itself: Tug of war, between union
teams; shoe race; pole climbing con-
test; pony races boys bicycle race;
motorcycle race; .lhdidS nail driving
contest; ladies' 5O-yard dash; boys
50yard race; potato race for ladies;
rope throwing contest.
Liberal prizes have been hung up
for every event and contestants should
be numerous. Perhaps the most mirth
full contest will be the shoe race. A
barrel will be placed on the track and
each contestant is required to remove
his shoes and throw them in the barrel.
Each man then runs to a line and back
to the barrel and puts on and ties his
own shoes and then runs back to the
line. The fun will commence when
each contestant searches for his own
shoes in the barrel. The first shoe he
grabs will. of course, be sent winding
if it is not his own and general
scramble will ensue.
The motorcycle races will be one of
the leading events. Motor "cycleitis"
has attacked Everett and something
like twenty machines are owned in the
city. Two cycle races will be pulled
off-one a three mile event and the 9th
err a five-mile event. Fast time may
be expected as the track is IN splendid
condition.
The days celebration will close with
grand ball in the evening in Fraternal
hall. Music will be furnished by Wag-
ner's eight piece orchestra. Tickets will
be $1.00.
The Labor Day spirit manifested by
all unionists guarantees day filled
with pleasure and endowment.
The labor journal. [volume] (Everett, Wash.) 1909-1976, 1910-08-26

The business men came through roy
ally in response to solicitation of the
committee for prizes for the Labor Day
sports. Prizes valued in the aggre-
gate over $500 have been hung up for
the various events and it will not be
hard to get in the money.

A NEW TOWN
EVERY WEEK
AND A NEW SCHOOL EVERY
SCHOOL DAY.

The above caption about represents
the growth of Central Canada. The
statement was made not long since by
| q railroad man who claimed to have
made the remarkable discovery that
such was the case. There Is not q
district of a fair amount of settle
ment in any of the three Provinces Of
Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta.
but has its school, and the railways
have stations every seven or eight
miles apart. around which group the
towns. some large and some small.
but each important to its own district.
Schools are largely maintained by pub
lie funds and the expense of tuition Il
but a nominal sum.
The final returns Of the grain pro
duction for Central Canada for 1909 is
now in. and the figures show that the
| value of the crops to the farmers of
that country is about 1875 million dol
lars, as compared with l20 million last
year. American farmers or those who
have gone from the United States. will
participate largely in these splendid
returns, and, these comprise those who
have gone from nearly every State in
the Union.
One of the many proofs that might
be put forward showing the immense
wealth that comes to the farmers of
Central Canada is seen in the sum
that has been spent during the past
two or three months by the farmers
who have for the time being ceased
worrying over the reaper and the
thresher, and are taking to enjoying
themselves for two or three months.
1t is said that fifty thousand people of
these Western Provinces spent the
holiday season visiting their old
homes. Most of these passengers paid
forty and some forty-five dollars for
the round trip. Some went to Great
Britain. some to the Continent. others
to their old homes in Eastern Canada.
and many thousands went to visit
their friends in the States. The amount
paid alone in transportation would be
upward of two million dollars. Some
make the trip every years. It need
not be asked. Can they afford it?'
With crops yielding them a profit Of
$50 to $50 per acre. and some having
as much as twelve hundred o. more
acres. the question IS answered. Toe
Canadian Government Agents at diff.
ferent points in the States report that
they have interviewed a great many
of those who are now visiting friends
in the different states. and they all ex-
press themselves as well satisfied.
and promise to take some of their
friends back with them. There is still
q lot of free homestead land In splen.
did districts, and other lands can be
purchased at reasonable price from
railway and land companies.
