The presence of the country pub
fishers of Minnesota on the scene
Thursday and Friday added interest
to things in the capital city and incl
IDENTITY braced any wobbly spinal col
umns of legislators. The scribes held
their annual gathering known as the
Minnesota Editorial Association con-
clave, and while in town they took in
the legislature, many of them listen
ing to the debates in both houses.
Among "the boys" was Frank A..
Day, on hand to say good bye to the
fellows he has worked with for good
many years. Frank, as has been an
nounced, has bought a democratic
daily paper in Missoula, Montana,
and with John King, will tell the
mountaineers how to run political
machine. The boys do not all agree
with Frank politically, not. by any
manner of means, but they all like
him personally and hate to have him
leave. He, made no speech but he
shook hands with them all, and the
best wishes of the quill drivers were
rendered in the warmest of terms;
in facts, indications of moisture were
evident in some eyes before the good
byes were all said.
Another man who not SO very long
ago was in the political lime light in
Minnesota, was present at the editor
ial gathering as member. He was
formerly one Of the bright lights in
Minnesota journalism. 1t was none
other than M. j. Bowling, familiarly
and affectionately known as mike. y
Bowling was chief clerk of the house
at one time and then It's speaker
In 1902 he made the run for congress
in the then new seventh district un-
der the first operation of Minnesota's
primary law, and lost out by less than
200 votes. He lived, at Renyille at
one time and little later removed
to Olivia and has since been very sue
cessful in banking. To The Herald
correspondent "Mike" said:

ted. without advertising. At the
proper time I filed for the legislature
sbfs did not solicit a vote or doa thing
insthe way of making my candidacy
known. The result was that / re-
ceived all the votes in my home town
and 4 good support from the nearer
localities but outside Of that I cut no
figure. I demonstrated that in order
to win one must tell the people about
it,"
AS Mr.. Dowling's congressi n a l
campaign was the most unique In the
history of the state, largely from the
extensive Advertising he did, this
statement coming from him now may
be regarded as expert testimony.
There wasn't a man, woman or child
in the entire seventh district in 1902
that didn't know ssMike" Bowling
was running for congress. 1t may be
that Bowling may get back into the
game again some time; he's really to
good a man to be retired from the
ranks of those who serve the state
in an official capacity; but that's mat
ter for the future to decide. Certain
it's that, should he ever go after any
thing in the line of state Office,
there are plenty of warm friends who
would gladly and enthusiastically
espouse his cause again. "Mike' says
he's making money and is happy. He
takes an interest in politics by voting
whenever there's an opportunity, by
attending conventions, and by keeping
in touch with public opinion. If any
fellow thinks Dowling's dead one,
he had better reflect again.
Representative J. N. Johnson of
Candy charged, during debate in the
House Friday, that the brewers COM
bine dictated the republican party
platform last June. !. This brought
Bob Dunn to his feet with an en-
phatic denial, inasmuch as he was on
the committee, wrote three of the
planks and ought to know pretty well
who made the platform. For few
minutes there was display of orator
ical fireworks, but things soon quiet
ed down. The incident occurred dur

TAX ON LAND VALUES.
Duluth. May 10, 10

Duluth. May 10, 1911.
TO the Editor of the Labor World:
Dear Sir: I am not a tax-dodger
but think taxes should be levied on
basis that would be just to every
one. There are individuals, as we'll
as corporations, pocketing values that
belong to the public. The value Of
land, constantly increasing through
industry and enterprise of the people
OF the state is being appropriated for
the private use of a few individuals.
Taxes, as levied at present, actually
in holding valuable land out of use or
putting it to inadequate use, while
willing workers are looking in vain
for employment.
Sometimes the tax is just heavy
enough to force the owners to put
the land to just a little use. Thus
in Duluth and other cities there
are valuable lots in the business CEN
ter containing poorly constructed one
or two-story buildings, designed as
''tax payers" because they earn just
enough to enable the owner to pay
mis- taxes.
It is easy to see that if the tax on
these lots were made higher it would
b. necessary Cor the owners to put
up still better buildings. If it were
made high enough to absorb the en-
tire rental value then taxes on i'm
provement, personal property, busi-
ness receipts and other things which
should not be taxed could be abol-
fshed. It would not be necessary to
consider taxing insurance premiums,
either.
The placing of all taxes on land
values will force the Improvement of
all valuable land to the limit of it's
earning capacity. This will cause a.
demand for labor heavy enough to
give every unemployed man chance
to go to work. At the same time the
removal of taxation form industry
and it's products will make things
produced by labor cheaper. In this
way we can have prosperity, high
wages and low cost of living at one
and the same time. 81 ,s"a%....

LITTLE BOY AND HIS DREAM.

LITTLE BOY AND HIS DREAM.
The little boy smiled in his sleep that night
AS he wandered to Twilight Town;
And his face lit up with a heavenly light,
Through the shadows that drifted down:
But he woke next morning with tear-stained
eye
In the light Of the gray dawn's gleam.
And out from the stiffness we heard him cry
i've lost my dream-my dream.
And he told lis then in his childish way
OF the wonderful dream he'd known;
He had wandered away from the land Of
play.
To the distant Land of the Grown.
He had his snare Of the fame and
fight.
In the struggle and toll of men,;
And he sobbed and sighed in the breaking
light.
II want my dream again."
AS the years passed by the Little Boy
grew
Till he came to the Land of the Grown: !:
And the dream of his early youth came true
The dream that he thought had flown;
Yet once again he smiled in his sleep
When those near by might have heard nim
weep,
II want my dream-my dream!''
For ne dreamed of the Yesterdays Of Youth
And the smile on mothers face.

THE GOOD MAN" FALLACY.

:..a Many voters who have broken away.
from old party ties have fallen into
the error of picking. out the good men
from all tickets and voting for them.
This seems to them to be reasonable.
But 1t will not hold water. ~:
1t will not bear, the test of logical
examination. ~.
from all tickets and votes for them
cancels his own vote. because he votes
for the different sets of principles for
which the different candidates stand.
When lie votes for Republican or
Democratic candidates, he VOTES for
the continued private ownership of
the exploiting industries-which is
the thing that enables the capitalists
to rob the workers of most of the
value of their labor.
When he votes for Socialist candid
ates, he votes for the collective owher-
ship of the exploiting INDUSTRIES
which alone can give the workers the
full value of their labor.
And yet he votes for candidates on
all these tickets and then boasts about
nellS all lHuepellQeilL VOLeF.
The truth is that he is no voter at
all, for when he votes for antagonistic
sets of principles he cancels his own
vote.
Some day, after Socialism has been
introduced and there are no longer
any principles involved in the cleo
tions, when it is simply matter OF
securing the persons best fitted to fill
the particular positions, the good man
theory will become logical.
But, SO long as there are principles
involved in the elections, it is utterly
illogical
Every ticket stands for something
The Republican and Democratic
tickets stand for the dominance of ths
capitalist class. Every candidate on
those tickets is pledged to principles
Which result in the dominance of the
| capitalist class.
No matter how good" candidate
may be, he is bound by the principles
| of his party. He is bound, it elected
! to do all in his power to carry out
those principles.
1t therefore becomes of supreme
| importance to discover, not whether
u candidate is good man or not
| but whether he stands for correct
| principles or not.
No matter how"good' he may be
If he stands for wrong principles il
! is foolish to vote for him.
In any case, in any party. you car
! rest assured that the candidates as 9
general rule will be true to the prin.
ciples of their party if elected. Theil
political life depends upon it.
| Of course we want good men, but
principles are the main thing.
With but slight and accidental ex.
ceptions, the Socialist party alway:
nominates gooC men.
But we do not ask anybody to vote
for them because they are good men
We do ask everybody to vote fol
them because they stand for correc
principles.

Our dreams will come true some day, little

All the beautiful dreams we have
The meadows all dotted with asphodels'

Are blooming somewhere as they

And the songbirds whose plumage was iris

And whose melody ravished US then.
Will sing for somewhere, some tlme

All! l wish I could tell you just when,
Our dreams will come true some day,
For though clouds blot the sun from the
sky.
The is above them refulgently bright,
And will sweep them away, by and by,
And the angels whose stoles were 80 daz-
zling white,
And whose pinions touched lightly our
eyes,
We're flashes of heaven, through clouds
call life,
Soon to melt In the heavenly Skies
Our dreams will come true some day little
girl
If just only our faith shall be strong
To lift US above the dissonance of life
Into regions of labor and song,
And he who these heights shall attain is a
king, ~
OF the royalest kingdom to be,
Which over the wreckage of Time shall
And illuminate Eternity.

Origin of the Four Poster.

In medieval times, when life was
very insecure, it was usual for people
to sleep on bed which was surround
ed by sides of boards with strong
posts at the four corners. These sides
contained sliding doors, which could
be fastened inside. When men retired
to rest they took weapon with them.
If attacked in the night they were
aroused by the noise made by the
crashing in Of their wooden defense
and were able to defend themselves.
When the law became strong enough
to protect human life the sides of the
bedstead were gradually dispensed
with, but the four posts remained.
The boxlike bedstead still survives in
the rural parts of Scotland and is al
most necessary where the earthern
floors and imperfect ceilings cause
much damp. Emily Bronte in "Wuth-
ering Heights describes one Of these
bedsteads in the old mansions as form
ing a 'little closet Mr.. Lockwood,
who had to sleep in it, says, II slid
back the panel sides, got in with my
light, pulled them together again and
felt secure"

More Than Gratuitous.

Apropos Of the custom Of some hos
tesses to invite professional artistes to
their house in the expectation that they
will amuse their guests free OF charge,
a story Is told of Nine. Berthe Badly,
the famous Partisan artistic, who was
invited to a social gathering and asked
by the hostess to recite She consent
ed, and then. in order that there might
be no mistake about the matter, the
hostess said:
How kind it is Of you to work for
US in this friendly mannerv
The emphasis On the word friendly"
was so marked as to show clearly
enough that the service was to be gra-
tuitous. After the recitation was over
Nine. Bady took a silver card tray from
a footman, and, initiating the musicians
in the cafes chantants, she made a tour
Of the drawing room and collected
whatever contributions were offered
and they were substantial ones. Then
she handed them to her hostess and
left the house.

AS every one knows, 1t is dangerous
to stand near a tree during thunder
storm, but If any one is so foolish as
to do 1t he will do well to lean against
the tree. If he does this the charge
goes in at his shoulder, burning 1t, and
then passes down the skin along the
middle of the back. Arrived at the
legs, it may run along one or both. 1t
will seriously burn the knees and other
prominent parts, get out through the
stockings or bore hole through the
boots or destroy the boots altogether.
But If he stands near a tree or wall
without being in contact the stream OF
lightning may jump to the head bones
and cause instant death. II it doesn't
do this it will probably burn the hair
and travel over the skin of the head,
going down the front of the body or
getting inside it and doing terrible
damage

A Comets Three Parts

A comet has three parts. The nu-
cleus Is the bright, starlike point which
is the kernel, the true potential comet.
Around this is spread the coma, sort
of luminous fog, shading from the
nucleus and forming with it the head.
Still beyond is the delicate tail, stretch
ing away into space. And this to the
world in general Is the comet itself,
though always the least dense Of the
whole. Sometimes entirely wanting
or hardly detectible, the tail is again
an extension millions Of miles In
length. Although usually a single
brush Of light, comets have been seen
with no fewer than six tails

The New Sleeves.

1t is the popularity Of the tichu
which is responsible for the new
shoulder line or, rather, armhole that
no one likes and yet which every one
Is evidently going to wear. It is the
ugliest kind and comes with bad grace
after the graceful peasant sleeve. with
it's charming simplicity.
The shoulder line runs down over
the arm for three inches, and the
sleeve is gathered there into an arm
hole that is ungainly in its size even
If nothing else made it ugly. It Is
said to be difficult to fit.
Even the lingerie waists have long
sleeves, perceptibly larger than for
years, and are gathered into a tight
fitting cuff at the wrist and finished
with a two inch plated ruff1e of lace
or lace edged material.
