WHILE WE MAY

It is hard to estimate just what a
vast number of regrets we would be
saved and what a great amount of
pleasure and satisfaction we would
feel were we only to show our love
for our friends while they are with
us. When they have passed away and
lie, cold and silent before us there is
no use putting flowers where they
cannot see or smell them. When
our hearts are aching for just one
more sound of their voices, that are
stilled forever, then it is that we try
to comfort ourselves by saying those
nice sweet thing about them which
we should have said to them in their
lifetime, but which we withheld. OF
what avail is tenderness when the
doors are shut and our loved ones
gone? Let us give them their full
measure of the milk Of human kind
ness while we have them with US.

One of the most important duties

more so than appears at first glance
Only by Intelligent support can an

This is not given when to majority
is intrusted the plenary power of

rank and file. The business con-
sidered is serious. It deals with the
welfare of the home and the most
vital relations of the employed and
the employer. Collective bargaining
should represent real majority, At

The strongest and most effective
labor organization is the one that adj

success without adherence to a COM

they achieve nothing of consequence.
Obedience to the will Of the majority
is the motto that should be adopted.

What right has convention Of

to dictate what shall be a man 8

tiliations? If the workingmen Of
America can't trust Mitchell,
whom, among their number, can
they trust? He has not been
found guilty of treason to organ
lied labor, but has stood squarely
in conventions and in conferences
for. an absolutely square deal to
all concerned. Can a man do
more than this?
It has been meanly charged
that Mitchell has worn a dress
suit and that he has dined with
millionaires. What Of it? If he
had cared to do so, he might have
made this a common practice, for
he has had the opportunity Of get
ting a better job than the work
ingmen of this country have ever
offered him. He has the brains
and the ability to make good on
some Of the biggest propositions
that are being offered by the cor
porations.
We are sorry-mighty sorry
that the thing has been done. It
won't hurt Mitchell. It will come
back as a boomerang upon the

upon the entire labor movement

GOSPEL OF AGRICULTURE.

We are glad to lend our infu-
ence to the Duluth Commercial
club, in it's landa BILE effort to
spread the ''gospel Of agricul
ture" in St. Louis county.
We would call special attention
to an article on our first page
entitled. "Institute on Wheels for
Farming Course" and would urge
all on readers, who can POSSIBLY
do so, to avail themselves OF the
opportunity offered.
Northeastern Minnesota is
waking up to it's agriculture pos
sibilities. Put it this way: the
production of gold in the United
States, including Alaska, was $685.
100000. The product of iron ore
in St. Louis county alone was
$4,000 00tons, valued at the dock
at $125,O0O,00O. Thus the iron
ore Of this county yields one third
more than all the gold mines of
the nation. But the agriculture
possibilities Of this county are
greater than it's mineral wealth.
"Realization Of the enormous
significance of such facts has
stirred Duluth to extraordinary
activity in the lines of agricultural
promotion. The Duluth CONNER
cial club has sustained for sew
eral years its agricultural depart
ment and there is no part Of the
state more read ~ to back the ex-
tension department of the agricul-
tural school than Duluth and. st.
Louis county,
While dairying is the great
hope of this section, potatoes are
the most immediate crop. Many
| settlers have paid for their land
by one good crop of potatoes and
gained the capital for building up
the dairy farm. As the Duluth
market consumes every year L.
100000 bushels of potatoes, there
is local demand for more than the
entire production at present. And
since the southern potato growers
are looking more and more to
northern. Minnesota for their seed,
there is another outlet for the
product that shows the highest
quality.
