IT'S GOSPEL TRUTH.

Golfers Weekly paid it's respects
to c. w. Post last week. It was a
three-page story, appropriately 1llu-
minated with cuts and reproductions
of the taking of the Battle Creek
slanderer of trades unionists. The
article ought to be printed in every
official organ of the labor unions of
America and be kept standing three
months, but it won't. The blind ed
itors of the official organs will neg
lect a rich opportunity to help I'M
mask this "faker." as Golfers calls
him. No wonder the labor movement
is slipping, when lot of criminally
negligent official organ editors are too
stupid to print such matter as ap-
peared in Golfers of last week. No
wonder the spirit of the army is
broken, when we have lot of jelly
spined generals on the staff of the
official organs.-Sadie Mcguire in The

POST IS BADLY SCARED.
AND THERE'S A REASON

G. W. Post, Of Battle Creek,
Mich, loving friend Of labor
unions, and manufacturer of fake
breakfast foods, is frightened and
"There's a Reason for his
alarm. The circumstances lead

Post are as follows:
On November %, 1905, Golfers

on the ground that it was adver-
Using it's food products as patent
medicines. Nearly two years
later, on July 81, 1907, in an edi-
torial Golfers spoke of the
claims that Grape-Nuts would OBJ
viate the necessity for an opera
ton in appendicitis as Lying,
and, potentially, deadly lying.''
. A few weeks later, on Septem-
Der 4, 1907, Post, in an ADVERTISE

Golfers followed up it's editorial

That Post is really frightened
is proved by the following tele-

great amount Of advertising he

carefully prepared report in which
he showed that comparing the work
OF the water department of the city,
taking everything into consideration,
with prices that We're current under
private ownership and operation, the
plant had saved the city and its peo-
pie $17,S52,61S.S7.
Truly a. splendid showing in this
department.
And one of the striking features of
the municipal control of this public
utility is that the poor man is given
equal show with the rich. Under
private ownership it is the other way
The man who buys enormous quanti-
ties Of water is given a lower rate.
And thus the rich have the advant-
age of the poor.
In Milwaukee, the rich are charged
the same rate as the poor.
Ihls does not seen so significant
until the fact appears that on this
basis thirty eight and eight-tenths
per cent Of the total cash receipts Of
the water department are paid by
thirty of the largest consumers. This
leaves the remaining sixty per cent
of the expense to be divided among
45,5O0: consumers. And this feature of
the plant is. after all. the only
equitable basis for the operation
OF a public utility that lightens the
burden of the cost Of living upon the

The navy department spends
$130,000,000 annually. What be-
comes Of this vast sum-? Only
about twenty millions go to build
ing new ships. Only about four
millions, according to Senator
Hale, 60 to enlarging the dry
docks and equipping the yards
where ship repairs are made. It
does not require $106,0O0,0O0 for
coal and ammunition, nor even
for the salaries and food of the
men and officers.
A large sum goes to navy yards
that are almost useless-yards To-
Gated on water so shallow that the
big first-class vessels of which the
navy is now composed cannot
reach them. The chief benefciar-
les of these political navy yards
are not the navy nor the American
public, but the constituents of
Senator Hale, Gallinger and Perk-
ms ct al.
Pay Inspector Mudd not long
since made a report in which he
showed where at least part of
the money goes. It occurred to
the pay inspector to make some
comparisons between the cost Of
articles manufactured at the diff
ferent yards.
A 16-foot dingey cost $104.17
at one yard and $196.34 at
another. Awning stanchions were
$3.50 at one yard and $3.50 at
another. Rudders were Sc at one
yard and $40 at another. A tiller
was ST at one yard and So at
another.
George Kibbe Turner recently
declared in Mcclure s Magazine
that of the $130,00o,000 the navy
is costing the nation, $4,000, 900
is wasted because Of gigantic in
competency.

Can Duluth Say Likewise ?

For. fifteen years the city of Mil
waukee has owned and operated it's
water works system.
The results are splendid.
In the first place, the cost Of water,
which Is one of the necessities of
life, has been reduced to most re-
markable degree. The rate is so low
that it is not at all infreqnent for
the landlord to throw it in with the
rent and not charge the tenant at all.
In fact, the private consumer in
Milwaukee does not pay more than
twenty-five cents a month for water.
In many cases it is as low as eight
cents a month.
. In the second place, special effort
has been made by. those who have
had the management of the water
plant in charge, to make the con-
ditions of labor good. And they have
been so far successful that quite a
number of the men who began work.
ing for the city when the plant was
first put under municipal ownership,
are still working at the plant. Wages.
hours and general conditions are con-
siderably better than the average in
similar employments under private
management.
And after supplying the city Of Mil
waukee, with it's nearly 100000 pop
ulation with water, not only for pri-
vate uses. but for the .sprinkling of
streets. for the care Of it's numer-
GUS parks, for flushing Of its sewers,
and for fire protection, on rates like
the above, the city has cleared a.
handsome surplus every wear Tho
