Every friend of labor in Duluth,
as we'll as throughout the country,
Joined in the hallelujahs that went
up when they heard that Clarence S.
Darrow was found innocent of the
charge of bribing jurors in the Nc
Namara dynamiting cases by Los
Angeles jury
1t took the jury only thirty-two
minutes to decide on a verdict. The
scene which followed was most dram
attic. When the foreman announced
the verdict cheers and wild applause
broke out in the court room and down
the corridors of the Hall of Records
went the cry of Darrow's innocence.
Mrs. Darrow, sobbing with joy, en-
braced her husband, VINO merely
sighed deeply and quietly looked
around the room. Friends Of Dar-
row Immediately crowded around to
many of these in the room burst into
tears as they shook the acquitted
mans hands. Juror Dunbar slapped
Darrow on the back and cried:
"Mr. Darrow, this is the happiest
moment of my life." Standing in the
box, the jurors held a reception while
hundreds filed past and shook their
hands.
The crowd became so great that
DdIIOW, IOlUluS ulS "cdhOAlA6 VILE
in his arms, was swept back against
the wall. Asked for statement,
Mr.. Darrow said:
1T has been a terrible ordeal and
feel great sense Of relief. No.
body who knew me could believe I
was corrupt. The indictment could
only have been returned under the
stress and excitement of the dramatic
ending Of the Mcnamara trial. I will

Captain Fredericks, the prosecuting
attorney, seemed bitterly disappointed
He is attempting to convey the i'm
preston that Darrow and his counsel
hypnotized the jury. He is now at.
tempting to have Darrow tried on an
other indictment. The case is develop
Ing into one Of persecution and Oar

once had enemies ......' ;: .-%
1t Is said that Mr. Darrow and his
attorneys presented the most brilliant
arguments that have ever been made

UNION SHOP UPHELD
BY y. supreme j ]. } | ! court
Minnesota's Highest ,. Tribunal
Again Shows Itself Fairly Dis.
posed Toward Labor.

The Minnesota supreme court, in an
opinion written by Justice P. r.
Brown, has just held that the Musi-
clans union of Minneapolis had the
right to adopt a rule that none Of its
members should accept employment
tn theaters or opera houses, except
under certain conditions.
The action was brought by Scott
Stafford Opera House company, to re-
strain the Minneapolis organization in
preventing it's members from accept
ing employment with the plaintiff by
reason of the fact that the plaintiff
the Musicians union.
/ The Musicians union, being incor-
porated, it was sought to show that
this was an ultra wires act, and a.
demurrer was interposed by the de-
PENDANTS, and which was sustained by
the lower court.
The court followed the leading case
Of Bohn VS.. Hollis, 54 MINI. 223.
Justice Mitchell wrote the opinion in
that case, which sustained the ac-
tion Of a large number Of retail lum-
ber dealers, who formed a voluntary
association by which they mutually
agreed that they would not deal with
any manufacturer or wholesale dealer
who should sell lumber directly TO-
consumers. =
Commenting upon the distinction
sought to be shown between an inGli-
ddual and an Incorporated body, the
court says: .s.- D.,
but If the competition in itself,
however injurious, is not a wrong
Of which he could complain against
a natural person how does
it become so merely, because the au-
thor of it is q corporation acting
ultra vires." $40. -.:-'N
/ Arguing further against the conten-
ton Of plaintiffs, the court says:
'"The plaintiffs argument is largely
based upon the assumption of lack Of
benefit to such members; but, in the
absence of any allegation Of such lack
of benefit, We think it may fairly
be inferred from the facts and cir
cumstances alleged, and from the very
nature of the rule cited, that the rule
was designed to benefit the members
of the defendant corporation. Ger

SO manifestly non-adapted to produce
benefit as to raise an inference OF ma.
lice or evil motive. AS said in the
Ertz case. supra, in distinguishing the
Bohn case: 1T is to be noted that the
defendants in the Bohn case had sim
liar Legitimate interests to protect,
and that the defendants ef-
forts to induce parties not to deal
were limited to members Of
the association having similar inter-
ests to conserve, and that there was
no agreement or combination or at
tempt to induce other persons not
members Of the association to with
hold their patronage" etc.
The court held this to apply to the
instant case and the order (of the

P. M. Ringdal, candidate for the
Democratic nomination for governor,
has presented his platform of prin-
c1ples to the voters of Minnesota. Up
on this platform he bases his candi-
dacy., It is the utterance of a clear
thinker, a convinced progressive and
a sturdy character. =
Mr.. Ringdaps platform is, without
a doubt, the strongest political docu-
ment ever presented to the people of
this state. 1t shows that he has a
clear knowledge of the wrongs which
are holding the people in general in
a state of political and economic
bondage. His platform is a construc-
tive document and when he is elected
governor, if the legislature will but
enact into laws the recommendations
he makes a big step will be taken to-
wards correcting many Of the social
and political wrongs that abound.
Every workingman in Minnesota
should read and study Mr.. Ringdaps
platform. 1t rings true to the core.
1t breaths in homely but eloquent
language the hopes and aspirations
of the common people. It reads as
follows:
Platform of Mr.. Ringdal.
The views on an individual on ques-

when he seeks an office with power

support he seeks to tell them frankly

Gastronomic Crimes.

Nor is it enough that school girls
and boys should be taught to COOK,
the1. should also learn how to eat.
Few learn this at home. They are
usually taught to eat silently, and
mot TO take soup off the end of
spoon or to put the knife into the
mouth: but the more important art
of mastication is ignored 1t is a
branch OF physiology, and should be
taught by experts in the schools.
If il We're. the next generation of
mothers and fathers would know that
it is a crime to let their children
swallow food, particularly milk and
cereals and vegetables, pefore it has
been kept fol. while in the mouth
to be mixed with saliva and made
digestible.
If it were indelibly impressed ON
school children that gluttony is a
vice which defeats its own end, that
by eating slowly much more pleasure
can be got from one mouthful than
by boiling a whole plateful, that this
pleasure can be vastly increased by
consciously exhaling through the
nose while eating. and that those
who eat in this way viii escape the
pangs Of indigestion-if these truths
We're impres .sed on every child mind,
two thirds Of the minor Ills of man
kind would disappear i'll two genera

dies also; for the stomach is the
source Of most diseases. AS Thomas
