SUPERIOR MADE A GOOD CHOICE.

Inc Labor World takes this opportunity to con-
graduate the people of Superior for the good sense
they showed in electing *Silver Joe" Konkel to
the office of mayor of that city,
We have known MIR. Konkel for nearly twenty
years. In the early days he was an active member
OF organized labor and for time served as frat.
ernal delegate from Superior to the Duluth Trades
Assembly.
Mr.. Konkel is character in class decidedly
MS own. He possesses some ideas of government
that are healthy and wholesome He has courage.
mora! character and energy, and if we mistake not
ne will give Superior the best administration that
city ever enjoyed.

BOOSTS AND SLAMS
ON CURRENT EVENTS
w. A. McGONAGLE SHOULD
TAKE LOS ANGELES TIL

M r. w. A. M'GoNAGLE. presi-
AvA dent OF the Duluth, Missabe &
Northern Railroad company and
chairman Of the Public Affairs COM
mittee of the Commercial club, re-
turned this week from Los Angeles
where he has been sojourning during
the cold winter weeks.
Mr.. McGonagle, while in the west,
made close and careful study Of civic
arfalrs In several western cities. He
was particularly impressed with the
spirit of loyalty that permeates the
West-the way they boost for home
products
Mr.. McGOnagle believes that Du-
luth could we'll take a lesson from
Los Angeles. He declares that nearly
every article that is used in that city
bears the word Los Angeles
stamped or worked in it. He was very
much impressed also with the gen.
eral boosting policy of that city and
with the patronage they have given
local concerns.
It is to be hoped that Mr.. Me-
Gonagle, whose influence In the Du-
luth Commercial club is said to excel
that of any other individual, will i'm
press his fellow members with the
necessity Of changing the policy Of
the club, SO that in the future this
very much criticized institution shall
become in fact, as we'll as by boast,
a booster for Duluth-made products
The Labor World would suggest
that the officials Of the Commercial
club manifest their sincerity as boost
ers of Duluth-made products by
cleaning out the cigar case at the
club rooms which is now wholly
filled with eastern made sweat shop,
tenement house and other cheap la
Dor products, and stock it up with a
complete line Of homemade cigars.
There are manufacturing interests
in Duluth just as important to foster
and encourage as jobbing houses,
and even more so. The opportunity
that now presents itself to the CON-
mercial club is golden.

STANDARD OIL STOCKS
HIGHEST IN IT'S HISTORY
IF President Taft and his machine

IF President Taft and his machine
: expect to use the Standard Oil
decision of the United States Supreme
court as a political asset in the COM
ing campaign they will be welcome to
all the credit they can get out of it.
The government officials have spent
much time and money in the last
ten years attempting to make the
people believe that they were in the
business Of busting trusts.
Colonel Roosevelt, while president,
made lot Of noise about it. He ap-
pointed such trust servers as Frank
B. Kellogg of Minnesota to act as
special attorneys for the government
to try cases against the trusts.
These men were heralded through
the press as learned, patriotic cit
liens who were giving the people the
benefit of their training and expert
ence to lead them out of the land of
trust bondage. They met with more
or less success in the courts. They
prepared the briefs and made the ar
guments before the Supreme court,
and after all was over what were

The other day the Standard OIL
company, the first Of all American
monopolies, which was "dissolved" by
the United States Supreme court. ex-
perienced the greatest boost in the
price of its stocks in the history of
the company.
One of the 80 odd constituent COM
panies Of the Standard Oil company
Of New Jersey sold it's stock on the
market in New York last week at
$1,000 per share. Does this look as
If the trusts are worrying very much
over court decisions or the investiga-
tions and operations of the federal
government?
No change will come until the peo-
pie elect men to public office in state
and nation, who have the true inter-
ests of the masses at heart, and who
will engage in a militant fight in
government for the complete over
throw OF special privilege, tho real
parent of monopoly.

MAYOR GAYNOR AND THE COURTS

In recent issue The Labor World printed an
editorial entitled 'Courts Hamper Social Justice"
in which we declared that the judicial branch of
government the last refuge of the privileged
classes
The current issue Of national law magazine,
Bench and Bar contains article from the pen
of Mayor Gaynor of New York in which the position
of The Labor World is completely confirmed.
1t is difficult for the ordinary fosszed judge
to divert his thought from the channels which for
numberless generations have directed his conclusions
to Edeprvation of property without due process Of
law" and ''impairing the right Of contract" at
the expense of public health and the general well
fare.
Mayor Gaynor satisfactorily and conclusively
points out the error into which the courts have
fallen and how their process of reasoning has OBJ
structed every desire Of the people for social ad
vancement.
He mentions specifically the decision of the New
York court declaring unconstitutional the law pro-
limiting the manufacture of cigars in tenement
houses and holds that the court was so sensitive to
the rights of property and 1.-THE liberty of con-
tract that it completely lost sight of the physical
moral and mental health of the tenement house
working men, women and children, which the state
under it's police power possessed the full right to
protect.
Mayor Gaynor declares emphatica]]y that the
courts have planted themselves light in the path
way OF economic and social progress, and when
they declared invalid laws that regulated under
ground bakeries, hours of labor for women in
factories, and overthrow workingmen's compensa-
ton acts they did the of popular justice is
reparabe harm.
The mayor pays his respects to certain judges
and certain courts in the following we'll chosen
language:
Nothing is more distressing than to see bench
of Judges, old men, rule set themselves against
the manifest and enlightened will of the community
in matters of social, economic or commercial pro-
gress The is true in matters of morals and
growth nd
who after them, age after age, fell victims to
judicial narrow-mindedness. But the adverse de-
csion of courts have not been able to stop human
progress Sometimes they battle it for the time being
Sometimes by creating evaporation in the intel
hgent mind, they accelerate it, Not to quote other
Instances, the decision Of the United States supreme
court remanding the negro boy bred Scot back into
human slavery only fastened the coming liberation
OF the slave.''
Possibly recent reactionary decisions of our
courts will also serve good purpose and they will
hasten the day when labor shall be Enthusiastically
free.

GANGSTERS RETURN TO
POWER IN MILWAUKEE

r. HE Socialists were defeated In
l. Milwaukee at the Tuesday elec-
ton. Both old parties united against
the Socialist nominees and from the
very beginning it was predicted that
the present administration would be
defeated.
However, there is not very much
glory in the success of the bipartisan
combination. The old boss-ridden
Rose crowd which for years has
polluted the politics Of Milwaukee is
again in the harness, and the good
things started by the Socialists, the
triumph Of which would mean more
for the people and less for the priv
LEGGED classes, will in all probability
be dropped by the system-serving
gangsters who are returned to power.
The Socialists inaugurated some
novel ideas in Milwaukee, many OF
which can be adopted with perfect
propriety by other. American cities,
not excepting Duluth.
They organized a private post Of
flee system for the municipality. No
city official need use a two-cent
stamp for mailing official letters to
points in the city. All the letters
are taken from the city hall to the
police station. The central station Is
also the city's private postoftice.
The policeman who patrols the
Leat. the man who watches that the
snow Is kept off the side walks, also

every year without any additional ex-
pense and without any Inconvenience

NO POLITICAL ASYLUM IN AMERICA?

The long hand Of the Russian Gar has reached
into the United States Senate over the shoulder of
Elihu Root and written bill which may become
the law Of the land.
If the bill is not defeated by Congress the Rus
sian and other despotic governments will receive
the aid OF the Republic of the United States when
they trail the ocean after political refugees
Senator Roots bill is in the form of an amend
ment to- the pending immigration measure and pro-
v1des for the deportation Of 'any alien who shall
take advantage Of his residence in the United States
to conspire with others for the violent overthrow
OF OF foreign government recognized by the United
States.''
Considering the fact that Mr. Root is a mighty
power In the United States Senate and also that
ne IS az exsecretay Of the state it is not unlikely
that his bill will become law
Inc amendment introduced without the
slightest publicity and unless strong protest is
Immediately raised Roots reactionary measure NAV
be written on the statute books
It Will be recalled that Mr. Root was STRONGLY in
favor OF deporting Jan Pouren, who was saved from
the clutches of the Russian Gar by the working
class OF the country. Roots scheme is to abolish
Dy congressional enactment the constitutional and
tradtlonal right of political asylum in this country
Should Senator Roots bill become law all Amer.
lean citizens OF foreign birth would be forbidden
from participating In any movement having for it's
aim the establishment of republic in any FOREIGN
country. Persons escaping from political persecu.
lion would OF course be barred from our shores
should TINS measure pass Congress-
AGAIN let It be stated that this measure has q
good chance Of becoming law if for no other reason
than the fact that Elihu Boot is it's author and
sponsor This bill will bear watching.

CARPENTER WINS
Close and interesting Roller Race in
Min, Sec.

The one-mile roller skating race,
Wednesday evening, at the Select
Roller rink between Thomas Golden of
Houlton and Prof Will Carpenter of
Augusta. was won by the latter by
about three quarters of a lap in the
fast time of three minutes and one
second. a large gathering was pres
ent at the race, and both men had
many friends.
This is the first time that Carpenter
has ever raced in this city and he
showed himself to be both speedy and
wiry, and could take the corners at a
whirlwind clip. The Augusta boy
started off in the lead and kept it
throughout, gaining gradually on his
opponent as the race went on. The
race was very close and interesting all
the way, but the Houlton boy was
outclassed in making the corners,
BY winning from such a fast skater
as Golden, Carpenter showed that he
was speedy on the rollers as well as
an artist in trick and fancy skating.
Jack Allison was timer and starter
and Thomas Murphy and Lawrence
Roderick We're the scorers.
