STATE FREE LABOR
I BUREAU. MAKES GOOD
High Water Mark Reached-7807
Persons Given Employment
In May At Trifl:ng Cost.

MINNEAPOLIS, June 21.-In his
Official report of the work of the state
Tree employment bureaus, covering
the month of May, Hugh jennings
superintendent of the state labor bu-
reaus, relates in an interesting man.
ner what his department has done.
For the time specified, the Minneso-
ia bureaus have found employment
for 1907 persons" This is a fine
showing, and will be more fully ap-
preciated by those acquainted with
the commendable duty the department
Is performing.
A report from Chicago, which city
expends 100000 in maintaining six
municipal employment bureaus, shows
what these offices are doing. To the
credit of the Minnesota department it
is noted that the latter bureaus have
led the Chicago offices in the number
Of positions supplied. This comparison
is all the more satisfactory because
of the fact that in Minnesota but three
Offices are maintained, while the ex-
pense is comparatively less.
Estimating that the average price
paid by workmen to private employ
ment bureaus is 81, the figures for
a saving to the toilers of at least
$7,807 has accrued as a result of the
efforts of the Minnesota bureaus. ANY
doubt entertained as to the real bene-
fits to be derived from such an adj
junct to the state departments by
those who opposed the establishment
of these free employment bureaus I'M
der the direction of the state has been
dissipated through the favorable sta
tistics showing what has been accom-
plished.
Among the figures submitted in the
May report are those for the St. Paul
office, showing that $50 women and
1854 men secured positions through
that office. In Minneapolis 1,457
women and 2,163 men were supplied
with positions, and the Duluth Of
flee provided employment for $50
women and 1898 men.
Most interesting, however, is the
part of the report relating to cost Of
operation, which shows that the Min
nesota employment offices are con-
Quoted at the smallest possible cost.
In St. Paul the cost per situation
provided is given at 1905 cents, in
Minneapolis S.96 cents, while Du-
luth is rated at 1880 cents. The av-
erage cost for the three offices is
1922 cents.

Cotton thread pays an import duty

however, that practically all the CAPT

A WORD AS TO BETTING

The Commoner: If any democrat
feels disposed to bet on the election
let him make careful estimate Of
his surplus cash and decide how much
he could afford to lose. Then let him
put the amount into the campaign
fund. This has several advantages over
betting. First, it makes victory more
certain; second, it increases the
pleasure one gets out Of victory. aud,
third, in case Of defeat, no republican
gets the money.

In Open Letter He Says Issues
This Year Are Similar to
Those of 1860.
PRINCIPLES FATHER UPHELD
Same Problem Today, Writes Jesse r.
Grant, In Choosing Between People
and the Interests.

Jesse r. Grant, son of General U1ys.
ses s. Grant, commander in chief Of
the Union army in the Civil war and
Republican president of the United
States from 1869 to 1877, links the
generation of war veterans and the
young voters of today in the follow
ing appeal, made public by him at his
home in New York:
To the Voter, Especially the New
Voter:
We are facing the 5th of November
issues Of momentous importance to
the future of the United States. Shall
the old order of things continue? Shall
our economic life be determined-shall
our government continue to be domi-
mated by the thoughts, the desires and
the interests of those who have been
the principal benefciaries of that gov
ernment's patronage or shall the pow
| er of government be handed back to
the whole people to be administered
for their common good?
It was a similar issue fifty-two years
ago, when there arose from out of llli-
nois a new leader, who held human
rights to be greater than property
rights, whose thoughts were not the
old thoughts, whose vision Of justice
had not been clouded by association
with the ruling interests.
We are at the threshold of q new
; period of transition. Shall the door be
blocked by men who cannot see ahead
Shall we elect to follow men who,
while clothed with official power, nur.
tured privilege and fostered monopoly
and who now propose nothing better
than to legalize and regulate monopo.
ly and make US live under it the rest
of our lives?
