TALK To INTERNATIONAL
7. J. Burke of Bemidji, First Lo-
cal Man to Use the Telephone
Line Just Completed.
BUILT BY BACKUs INTERESTS

T. J. Burke, of Bemidji, and E. W.
Backus, Of International Falls, this
morning held the first conversation
by long distance between the two
cities. The talk was made possible
by the fact that the new long distance
line from International Falls to
blackjack has been connected with
the Northwestern lines.
The line gives the first direct COM
munlcation between Minneapolis and
International Falls as all telegraph
matter must be sent in via Duluth or
Warroad. International Falls peo-
pie tried to have the Northwestern
interests extend their line north but
when they would not decided that
they would build south. Mr.. Backus
was the prime mover of the campaign.
The line from International to
Blackjack is built of heavy copper
wire and marks a distinct step in the
advancement of the north country.
It can also be used to reach Funkley,
Northome, Gemmel, Mizpah, Big Falls
and Littlefork.

TWO POSSESS ONE.1HIRD
Committee Finds Morgan and Rookie
Teller Own Thirty six Per Cent
- of q S. Wealth.
NO RIVAL BIG INTERESTS

New York, Oct. 23.-A Washing
ton dispatch to the World says:
s:The house committee on banking
and currency has concluded a special
iagniryzbegun some nfoaths ago, the
purpose of which was to find out to
what extent the control of the COM
mercial and financial interests of this
country has been concentrated
through the interlocking of the di-
rectorates of corporations Many ex-
perts have been employed in the in
vestigation and their general con-
clusion, as reported to the committee
in formal combined report is as
follows:
"Two men control between them
over one-third-36 per cent-of the
active wealth and natural resources
of the United States. These two men
are ]. Pierpont Morgan and John D.
Rockefeller.
"Contrary to the popular assump-
ton, there are no great rival camps
among the big interests, the banking
and currency committee investigators
say, and they asser: :leir conclusions
are borne out by their study of the
directories of all of the important
corporations in every part of the
land.
"In four pamphlets the total assets
of the Morgan-Rockefeller group are
figured at $39,718,32S,S66, divided
as follows:
| Industrial and public utilities,
$15,636,s53,S14.
Railroad properties, $17,270,0 00,-

Banks and other financial institu-
tions, $4,O0O,911,932.

! Miscellaneous, 1892, 613, 1000.
sTota1, $39,781,32S,366.
"The figures gathered by the ex-
perts indicate that the Rockefeller
Morgan interests are dominant in all
the groups,-they interlock with the
same interests that dominate the
Standard Oil company and the same
that dominate the Steel Trust, and
these are found side by side through
out the financial world

Keep w ell Informed

The politician who is successful is the who
keeps himself we'll informed to conditions in his
bailiwck and in the country at large. The candidate
who asks the suffrage of the voters sees to it that
he has in hand stock of arguments for his side of the
contention, and endeavors to fortify himself against
all questions that may be hurled at him. The citizen
who is fighting the liquor business should be able at
all times to give reason for the faith that is in him.
He should know what has been and is being done to-
ward the progress of eliminating saloons from the
tion and what the liquor forces doing to protect
themselves and to stay the march of righteousness.
One must have an intelligent knowledge of his

Labor Blunders in Condemnine Lennon

The Michigan Federation of Labor has adopted
resolution repudiatng John B. Lennon, treasurer OF
the American Federation, because of his support of
prohibition and local option and it also protests against
his reelection any office in the American Federation
1t is no credit organized labor in Michigan that
it adopted such a resolution. We do not know who
brought up the matter but doubt it the brewery
workers or a similar organization. Organized labor
has no better friend than John B. Lennon. He is op
posed to the saloon because he knows what that nsti
tuition is doing to the workers. If the aborng men OF
the country would follow Mr.. Lemons advice they
would not 60 wrong and would be far better off. The
Michigan Federation of Labor would stand much higher

GO1d-P1dted Sin

Plate sin with gold
And the strong of justice hurtless breaks;
Arm it with rags, pigmys straw doth break it.
Shakespeare, in King Lear.
How very true this appears when applied to the
LIQUOR traffic! The manufacture and sale of ntOXl-
cants, despite the widely -disseminated knowledge of
the evils produced thereby, continue in the twentieth
century, in civilized lands. This too with the Chris
tian church and the whole school of science opposed
liquor. The best morality, the leading intelligence
of America and other lands is actively arayed against
ntoxicants, yet their sale goes on Why is this?
Simply the question OF the goldplatlng. SO wise
the liquor that they have painted their business
in glowing colors they have spread cover OF right
eousness and they have appealed to the money
argument. License the traffic, is the plea The state
needs the money we are told and further since it is
impossible to stop the sale why not receive
from it? The landlords who have buildings to rent
know that the sale of liquor is bad and in their hearts
they oppose it. But the gold that is rendered them for
rentals hides the moral responsibility involved. Big
business interests appeal for retention of the liquor evil
because of the great of capital invested in it.
The eyes of some labor are blinded because the
liquor business gives employment to a number of work
ers Officials often wink at law violation because Of
a price. few farmers sell their grain to the dis
ters and brewers and grapegrowers dispose of their
product for the making of wine because of the money
paid them So the whole matter runs
Now divest the liquor business of its gold plating.
Show it in its true light, and it has defenders.
There is other business that needs unless
it be other undertaking that is vicious as the
saloon business Let the unhoy trade be clothed in its
own rags, and pigmy's lance of wheat straw
will pierce it through and through.

Dirt readily absorbs water. Sand is
