takes and errors in judgment are one
OF the finest things in the world if we
can only take advantage of them. The
proper thing for all of us to do is to
gaze back over the past, unearth the
mistakes we have made, forget our van
ity and look those mistakes squarely in
the face, and begin the year of 1912
with firm determination to improve
upon our old system of doing business,
make up our minds that there must be
real profit in everything that passes
through our hands in the future, and IL
we have done anything in the past which
might lay us open to any charge other
than that of strict integrity let us here

Eight-Hour Day.

Eight-Hour Day.
Duluth mining men, discussing the
action taken by the Oliver Iron com.
pany and several Independent mining
companies, whereby an .eight-hour
work day was granted most of the
miners in the underground workings.
seemed unanimous in the opinion that
the change in hours had been brought
about as result of the activities Of
the steel investigating committee at
Washington. Those interviewed would
not permit the use of their names and
appeared guarded in their utterances.
1t is further pointed out that the
main advantage, 50 far as the men are
concerned, lies in the fact that the
men previously had worked on con-
tract. The miner, it is claimed. viii

applies himself as he has been doing

tract work Of the past. Much gratifi.
cation is expressed on the ranges. it

FREE SUGAR BILL
PASSES THE HOUSE
Twenty-tour Republicans Vote
with the Democrats.

Washington, March 16.-The Demo
cratic free sugar bill passed the house,
19S to 103. Its passage was helped by
twenty-four Republican votes, al
though this was offset by the detection
of seven Democratic votes against the
bill by members from Louisiana and
Colorado.
At the last moment Representative
Martin, one of the Colorado members,
blocked an attempt to fix plans for
consideration of the excise tax bill,
which through taxation of incomes is
expected to make up the revenue lost
by the free sugar measure.
The debate was marked by occasion
al flashes of extreme bitterness on
both sides. The members from sugar
producing states accused their COL
leagues Of working ruin to the sugar
industry, while Republican progress
sives seized the opportunity to give
their tariff views.

Great Influx Of immigrants Since the
First Of the Year.
The biggest and most valuable In
f1ux of settlers that Minnesota has
ever known is on. More than 1900
families, principally farmers from
states east and south of the state
have already entered since Jan. 1. The
movement is getting into full swing
AS many settlers who are farmers with
means came into the state last year
as came in the entire three years pre-.
ceding, and this year, if the present
rate is maintained, twice as many will
have settled here as came in last year
Railroad officials pronounce. it the
most important factor of the day in
consideration of the future wealth and
prominence of the state, and although
the Far West movement is still on and
thousands are going to the Western
states and Canada, the immigration
stream is being tapped within the Dor
ders of this state and Minnesota is
protiting as never before
