FESLER'S TIMELY ADVICE.

City Attorney Fesler diverted
from his argument for municipal
ownership at the council meeting
last Monday evening just long
enough to give the business men
of Duluth some timely and much
needed advice. II,
cit is about time,'' he said,
"when the business men of Du-
luth would take the side Of the
average man in matters of local
government, and not forever cast
their lot with Big Business.
He had in mind the attitude of
Duluth business men on every
public question from the time of
the purchase of the old gas and
water plant down to this day.
Mr.. Fesler very choicely and
very tersely expressed the senti-
ments Of the average man of Du-
luth. Will the business men heed
the advice?

TO PROTECT: W0RKMEN
UNDER ENGLISH RULE

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.-The Con-
gressional Employers Liability and
Workmen's Compensation commission

the enactment of a lew providing for

state railroads against injury by ac-
During the roads to make pay
make payments for any injury in
flicted. ".@ - :~>~ e:v'
No vote has been taken, however,
but it was admitted i. by the commits
sioners themselves that they were
unanimously in favor of the direct
payment plan, and also to combining
the operation of the proposed law to
employers of roads engaged in inter
state commerce only. .
The plan which the commission
proposes to adopt is the prevailing
one in Great Britain, and, while it
requires direct payment by the roads
to injured employees, the instrument
ality of the national government Is
invoked in carrying the law into ef-
feet. 80 = ].

GoMPERs IN SYMPATHY
WITH BAPTIST MINISTERS

In a letter to the Labor World,
Samuel Gompers says in connection
with the recent formation Of a union
by Baptist ministers:
1T is hoped that the Baptist min
isters' union will be successful in es-
tablishing it's minimum wage with
out friction. The Baptist Ministers
union ,is not confronted with the
open shop question, as all of the
Baptist ministers are members of the
Baptist Minister'S union. The men
of labor extend their moral sym
pathy to the Baptist Ministers union
in its effort to procure living
wage" -. -.
. At the recent state convention of
Baptist ministers held at the First
Baptist church, this city, resolution
was adopted establishing a union and
making the minimum wage for un-
married ministers 500 q year and
5000 for married men.

PURPOSE or SHERMAN LAW.

PUkPOSE OF ESaGhM AN LA W
President Taft says that the
Sherman law twas enacted by
congress to remedy a great evil. :
It would be very poor compi-
ment indeed to. the president to
credit him with sincerity ia max
ing that statement, but it would
not be much worse one to deny
it. 49,. "
It seems uncomfortable that he
should not know that the Sher-
man law was passed to save the
protective tariff. Its real object
was not to demolish the trusts.
The trusts had no better friends
than the majority members of the
congress that passed that act, the
congress that enacted the trust
breeding Mckinley law
It was intended to draw the
fire that was being aimed at
the prop on which many
trusts are resting. Literally
it is an act forbidding men from
carrying on business in a way
that the tariff laws and other
legal iniquities make unavoidable.
Of course such law must be
failure. It's trainers knew that.
They figured that as long as it
would not be enforced a majority
of the people could not be con-
WINGED that the protective tariff is
to blame for the trusts and they
further figured that it would
never be enforced, except perhaps
against labor organizations.
1t was a very slick game and has
fooled the people for very long
time. But it won't work much
longer.

hope in every member Of the

to do the right thing at the right
time.
It's because we are familiar
with it's tactics that we are fear
full Of delay. However, the coun-
Gil has another meeting at which
it can make good.

to promote the cause Of municipal

enunciated by his celebrated

what it produces. Combinations

"ITINERANT MERCHANTS"

The council at it's last meeting
passed an ordinance which will
require of every itinerant merch-
ant coming to Duluth the payment
of license of $40 for every day
he does business here.
There was some pretty warm
talk on the ordinance from both
the aldermen and citizens. The
discussion brought out the fact
that the merchants wanted the
ordinance to protect them from
unjust and injurious competi-
tion' caused by the sale of bank
rupt stocks sold here.
1t is indeed strange how bust
ness seeks the help of government
at all times to protect it from the
injustice caused by unfair COM
petition. It was this excuse which
gave birth to the protective tariff
that is responsible for more in
justice and injury to the people
than all Of the laws ever passed
by an American congress.
Business usually gets all of the
protection that government is
capable Of giving it.
But when labor, meeting the
competition Of the world, makes
a demand for legislation that
will protect 1T from the evils re.
sulting therefrom, it is class legis-
lation, and oh how Business fights
it.
Over at the new steel plant
there are hundreds of men living
in tar paper shacks in the scanti.
est manner, who send back to
Austria $15 of every 500 they
earn, and whose low standard OF
living enables them to work fo1
less than an American workmer
can afford to do.
This is the most fearful competi
ton we know of, for it strikes al
the very root of American homes
We wonder how Business
would take it if the council passed
an ordinance licensing these
'ltinerant merchants" of labo.
whose great numbers form al
endless chain from the Adriati,

IT'S THE SAME OLD GAG.
While the people of different

w ullt Cue ptOplt u ulllcFeuL
states are adopting the initiative
and referendum, one after
another, suit is being pushed
before the supreme court of the
United States in which that body
is asked to declare these measures
contrary to the provision of the
federal constitution guaranteeing
to each state republican form Of
government. The corporation
judges appointed by President
Taft will determine whether they.
ought to distort the meaning Of
some words, uttered by men who.
have long ago died, into a prohi.
bition Of popular rule in states
where an overwhelming majority
Of people now living have de-
cided to assume control Of legisla-
ton.
By assuming to interpret the
words Of some dead men, five
Of the nine judges of the supreme
court arrogate to themselves more
power than is possessed by over
whelming popular majorities in
Oregon, California, Colorado,
Missouri, Oklahoma, Arizona,
Maine and other states that have
declared in favor of the Initiative
and referendum.
AS long as five men, not
elected, but appointed for life
to the positions they hold,
have the power to prohibit, under
any pretext whatever, the carry
ing out Of the popular will, then
these five men, not the people, are
the rulers of the country. Many
have not yet realized the peril in
volved in the assumption by the
supreme court of power to nullify
legislation enacted not only by
legislative assemblies but by the
vote of the people themselves.
The situation that now confronts
us in regard to the initiative and
referendum ought to open their
eyes: If it does there will soon
be an end to the despotic power
of these five men. I.% III !:
