 Weather Foreeaster E. c. Horton at the weather bureau stated last night that he had recorded seven-tenths of an inch of snow at o'clock. Mir Horton explained the snowfall as the result of a sudden drop in temperature, coming with the pre- dicted rain. He expected light snow throughout the night and continued cold CT weather today, with perhaps little fall of snow.
 Reports from Atlanta last night were to the effect that a heavy fall of snow had occurred in the Georgia metropolis, some- thing like four inches being on the ground. Snow fell in Chattanooga about a week ago. while the first snow reported from Alabama was from Huntsville on last Tuesday.

Weatherly's Statement

MT. Weatherly from his home last night said he was somewhat surprised by the statement of MT. Sevier.
 'It is quite apparent" said Commis- sioner Weatherly, that the Southern is endeavoring to make joke of the local viaduct situation.
 We now hear the official of the South ern stating that it will be necessary for him to go through a process of com munication with the vice president of that line, whereas the city has guaran- teed that If the railroad cannot get to- gether on the cost of construction that cost will be equally and fairly appor- tioned among them
 'The ordinance was introduced last February, and 30 days later every rail- road, through its local agent, was ap- prised of what had taken place. Yet it was only recently that they raised the question of apportioning the cost of construction.
 MT. Weatherly plainly intimated that the Southern would fail in what he be- lieves the attempt of that railroad to make a joke of the city's efforts to dc away with grade crossings.

Southern Has Now Come Under Official Displeas-
 ure of MT. Weatherly
APPORTIONMENT OF
 COST THE TROUBLE
Seyier Says Commissioner Is Demand ing the Impossible and Weatherly Replies There Has Already
 Been Too Much Delay

Yesterday shortly after The Age-Heralt was circulated local officials of the H. linois Central and the Belt the latter oi which is owned by the Frisco. signed an agreement to participate in the con struction of the Twelfth avenue via. duct.
 This action was taken following the in- troduction by Commissioner Weatherly oi an ordinance providing for the annulmeni of the franchise of the railroads, and an other ordinance providing for the pave ment of the streets on which the railroads operate.
 The only railroad still out Of the agree ment is the Southern, and in regard to the differences between tile Southern and the city there promises to be a live con troversy. MT. Weatherly is of the o~inion that the Southern is endeavoring to make joke of the situation.
 When asked if he would withdraw ilis ordinance as far as it concerns the H. linois Central, the Frisco and the Belt, MT. Weatherly answered: Not at the present time at any rate.'
 Southern Meets Official Displeasure
 The Southern railway seems to have come in for official displeasure in refer ence to the Norwood viaduct, for Com missioner Weatherly said yesterday that he would take action against that com pany if any further delays are occasioned in the beginning of work on that bridge
 The Southern has been supposed to be free from censure in reference to that work, but it would appear that the ap- portionment of cost by the city is rather new, and the Southern interests have not had time to look into the proposition.
 In reference to the statement of MT. Weatherly in regard to the attitude of the Southern railway, L. Sevier, general agent, was asked for an expression last night. He dictated the following:
 If Commissioner James Weatherly is quoted correctly in the afternoon Ledger he now demands of the Southern railway that we do that work in II days which he had been endeavoring to get other inter- ests to agree to since the ordinance was passed requiring the lines interested to construct yiaduct at Twelfth avenue and Twenty-seyenth street, which has been several months.
 We have said before that our com pany has agreed to participate in ths cost of construction of a viaduct as pro vided for in this ordinance and that any change as to apportionment of expensC would require executive handling. The matter has been given that course. When the Southern does agree to what he now proposes 1t will be necessary to adver- tise for bids in an orderly manner and let the contract for the construction of the viaduct This cannot be accomplished in II days. We could, of course, make an effort to begin construction in a way, but 1t would not be the actual construc- ton in that way which would please the city or the people, or that they would desire. In other words, when the work commences it should be pushed forward to completion with only ordinary hin drances preventing it's completion rap fdly.'

NELSON s RECORD

Minnesota Senator's Attitude on
Labor Measures Published
Without Prejudice.
GOMPERS TELLS STORY
OF LABOR ENMITY
"Grand Old Man" ~ Of Minne-
sofa Has Consistently Opposed
Progressive Bills.

For the first time In Minnesota
the right to vote directly on a candi-
date for the United States senate.
Heretofore the issues have been
clouded by electing candidates for the
legislature who In turn elected Il
United States senator. Through this
process men have been elected to the
United States senate who have been
unfriendly to the interests of the COM
mon people.
This is the time when the people
can decide the question for them
selves. Senator Knute Nelson is be-
fore the people Of this state asking
to be returned to the upper house
of congress. He is asking the sup
port Of the people Of all classes and
they in turn are asking what he ever
did for them that would. justify them
in voting for him. .:...,:.:
Has Reactionary Record.
Progressive Republicans are oppos-
ing him because he has a. reactionary
record. The railroads are support
ing him because he has been their
friend. The big interests If Mime
sofa generally are behind him De-
cause he has always answered to their
beck and call. Some laboring men
will support him, but before doing
so they should examine his record
on labor legislation acted upon by
congress.
Upon the request Of the officers of
the Minnesota State Federation of
Labor, Samuel Gompers, president of
the American Federation of Labor,
has furnished union labor of this
state with an impartial review Of the
legislative record Of Senator Nelson
on labor measures.
Mr.. Gompers says, 1.-THE record of

Dor legislation since the 5Sth con-
gress, upon which YEA" and may

RECALL Of JUDGES
BILL TO Be FRAMED
State Federation of Labor Cannot
Coincide With Decision Reached
By Minnesota Bar.

While the Minnesota State Bar as
sociation has declared, unequivocally,
against both the recall Of judges and
the recall of judicial decisions it has
not passed on the question Of whether
or not court should be limited in
declaring any law passed by the leg
1slature unconstitutional, except by
unanimous opinion of the court.
The Minnesota State Federation Of
Labor stands limited to the PROPOSE
ton that no law should be declared
unconstitutional which will set aside
the will Of the people unless such de-
cision be by unanimous court In
deed, the workingmen of Minnesota
are so interested in the problem they
will attempt to have a bill, covering
this subject, presented to the next
legislature and to be submitted to the
people to amend the constitution Of
this state covering this point. s:.1@$
A resolution on this subject was in
troduced at the Brainerd, convention
by Delegate Henry w. Goetzinger OF st.
Paul and, after considerable discussion,
1t was adopted by q unanimous. vote.
It now becomes one of the political
plants OF the organized laborerss Il OF
Minnesota and will no. doubt receive
the approval OF the people In gen-

TWELVE SPECIFIC DEMANDS
ON POLITICAL PROGRAM
Proposed Legislation Will Be Of
Benefit to All Glasses

The trade unions of Minnesota have.
through their officers, compiled their

It is a somewhat lengthy program,
consisting of II specific demands.
but as the legislation union labor
seeks is Of benfit to all classes of
people. it is expected other interests,
besides those of the working class,
will support the program.
The different bills asked for have
been indorsed by the annual conven-
ton of the Minnesota State Federa-
ton of Labor and they are presented
to the candidates for the Legislatures
to ascertain just how they stand on
each question. This is the political

TRADE UNIONS ARE
LABOR'S ONLY HOPE

The American Labor Movement has
reversed the attitude Of the government
in all of it's branches towards the toiling
Millions It has made for good citizen
ship in numberless ways.
It develops the social instinct Of the
]aborer; it widens the circle Of his SYM
pathies; it enlargens his intellectual hori-
zon, compelling his attention first to pro-
blems affecting himself, then to those
which affect labor in general, and so on
to those in which the interest Of the
whole community is involved. It stimu-
lates his self respect and the spirit Of
independence in him.
It is the strong shield between him and
industrial slavery, and is thus one Of the
most powerful guarantees Of the fullest
measure Of human liberty.

LABOR'S FIGHT FOR >.-...
''MORE" NEVER LOST

The men who toll with their hands,
who clear forests, who build roads, who
build shops and cities, schools and
churches, they are the men who make
civilization possible. Others are useful
indeed, but the laborer is indispensable.
Therefore, he must have Justice.
AS rule capital breaks strikes by pro-
zlonging them. Capital needs no bread,
while labor does. But it is also true
that the victory is generally a barren
one, for in a short time labor comes up
again. the struggle is resumed and the
disputed point is. conceded. Labor wins
: in the end because justice requires it.
Capital rarely suffers by recognizing
organized labor and dealing directly with
the unions. Only pride has suffered, that
is all: !. -.

The Trade Union struggles for the
maximum of freedom for every individ-
ual, the abolition of poverty and the
best order in the production and equit-
able distribution Of wealth. In word,
its function is to secure the highest pos
sible earthly happiness for mankind, and
all this must come through taking the
best that civilization has given us and
looping off, one <by one, it's imperfect
growths and it's baneful excrescences.

however. any breed of sheep will
prove satisfactory If given the care

probably fact, however. that ex-

sheep are more likely to suffer from
parasites and not do so well in the

believe they require more care, es.

Mr. and Mrs. Little Jimmie.

MIR. and Mrs. Little Jimmie.
Mrs. Sammy Whitcomb had ionged
for the sweet privilege OF squaring
matters with Mrs. Jimmie Wellington.
Sneers and back-biting, shrugs and
shudders OF contempt were poor COM
pensation for the ever-vivid fact that
Mrs. Wellington had proved attractive
to her Sammy while Mrs. Yelling
tons Jimmie never looked at Mrs.
Whitcomb. Or II he did, his eyes had
beea so blurred that he had seen two
of her--and avoided both.
Yesterday she had overheard jim
mie vow sobriety. Today his shining
morning face showed that he had
kept his word. She could hardly wait
to begin the Irritation which. she
trusted, would render Mrs. Wellington
helpessiy furious for six long Reno
months.
The Divorce Drummer interposed
and held Jimmie prisoner for time.
but as soon as Mr.. Baumann released
him, Mrs. Whitcomb apprehended
him. With n smile that beckoned and
with eyes that went out like far-cast
flshhooks, she drew Leviathan into
her net.
She reeled him In and he piounced
in the seat opposite. What she took
for bashfulness was reluctance. To
add the last charm to her success,
Mrs. Wellington arrived to see Il.
Mrs. Whitcomb saw the lonely Ashton
rise and offer her the seat facing him.
Mrs. Wellington took II and sat down
with the back OF her head so close to
the back OF Mr.. Wellington's head
that the feather in her hat tickled his
neck.

wife pass by. To his sober eyes she
was a fine sight as she moved up the
aisle. In his alcohol-emancipated

TRYING A SMALL
FLOCK OF SHEEP
For AIl-Around and General Pur.
pose Animal None Better
Than Shropshire.

Sheep raising on a small scale is al
most universally profitable on almost
every farm. but when more than a
small flock is kept quite a different
proposition is involved. says the Pro-
gressive Farmer. With a small flock
no special pastures are required. they
can be housed in buildings and used
for the other stock without crowding
and require little feed and practically
no special attention. When larger
flock is kept two or more pastures
should be maintained. ample houses
for keeping dry without crowding
provided. and an abundance of suit
able feed supplied.
For the south we are inclined to
favor the Shropshire, Southdown and
the Dorset. For an all-round and gen.
eral purpose sheep there is probably
nothing better than the Shropshire.
The Dorsets produce early lambs
