the alleged letter which Organizer
Walters was representing as having
been written by him as forgery,
and he used some very uncompli-
mentary language in referring to the
matter.
Organizer Walters comes back at
Mr.. Emerson with a copy Of the let
ter an extract from which reads as
follows:
That Emerson Letter.
IF our local officials are in any
way discriminating against the men,
bers of the different organizations,
am certainly not aware Of the fact as
1t is not the policy of this company
to take any such action. We do not
question employees as to the different
organizations they may affiliate with;
We insist upon loyal service and
presume the complaint referred to
was brought about due to the dis
missal of some employe in the car
department. In questioning our gen.
eral car foreman he advised me that
he has not had any complaint from
the carmen employed on our system.
If the condition you refer to existed,
I am satisfied that the matter would
have been brought to his attention."
Organizer Walters in referring to
the letter simply smiles and says,
Il used the letter and stated 1t was
written by Mr.. Emerson, which it was,
and I have nothing to take back. II
there is any apology to offer, Mr..
Emerson must make it. It simply
resolves itself into a question of
veracity. I have the letter.

Knows the Labor Movement.
Mother Jones understands the phil
osophy of the labor movement. She
has a peculiar way, which is dis
tinctly her own, of driving her points
right to the hearts of her listeners.
For a moment she will philosophical
ly discuss the growth and Develop
meth of productions; then like a
flash she will clinch her argument
with militant attack upon both
men and women who are responsible
for injustices that have been per-
united to creep into the Industrial
system.
Mother Jones is said to be with
out fear. During her strenuous life
she has been cast into prison, con-
fined in bull pens, driven at the
points of bayonets, and once or twice
has had pistol aimed close to her
face by willing servants of the cap
italistic class.
Mother Boosts GomperS
In her speech she gave some timely
advice to that type of workingmen
who take pride in condemninE every
thing with which the American Fed
Grafton Of Labor has to do. She said
to them, You men had better quit
your I. w. W., and your attacks upon
Samuel Gompers. It will be time
enough for You to condemn Mr.. Com
pers when you shall have done as
much for labor as he has done.''
Mother Jones believes thoroughly
In the organization of the working
classes on the Industrial field. She
has seen 50 much hypocrisy in the
so-called political organization Of
the working classes that she has
lost faith in it's efficacy, II not in the
good sense of its leading apostles.

address a meeting of the wives of

food and their babies were starving.
They were on the point of insisting
that their husbands return to work.

GIRLS REPRESENT
SUFFRAGE STATES
Good Government League of Min
nesota University Holds Mock
, Political Convention.

The Good Government league of
the University of Minnesota planned
and successfully carried out a nation
al convention.
All students who desired to serve
as delegates from the various states,
We're asked to register and pay a
small fee to defray expenses.
When two girl students, Charlotte
stockwell and Lillian Brynse. pre-
sented themselves for registration,
they were reluctantly accepted, and
informed that the girls were not ex-
pected to participate. whereupon
these energetic suffragists hurriedly
collected thirty girls who were inter-
ested, and sent them to register. This
aroused some of the ants among the
men of the league, who called a
council and gave the girls hearing.
Finally the girls only asked for rep
resentation in the six suffrage states,
arguing that 1t would be possible for
those states to be represented en-
tirely by women. This was at last
agreed to, and then a suffrage plank
was sent to the committee on plat
form.
Rumors Of protests and contests
were freely circulated on the campus,
and the action Of the so-called "suf-
fragettes' really gave the convention
much free ADVERTISING
On the evening of the convention
not only were the delegations of girls
from the six suffrage states seated
without protest, but the suffrage
plank in the platform was adopted
with enthusiasm.
The convention was most exciting.
Men jumped on their seats. tore ban
ners in pieces, and howled themselves
hoarse in true nationa convention
style. There were hopeless parlia-
mentary tangles and much partisan
feeling evinced over candidates. We
were proud of the free state dele
gates. Their chairman responded
for the delegations promptly, clear
ly and concisely, and it was appar-
ent that intelligence and interest in
political issues are not confined to
one SEX
Indignation over the attempt to ex-
clude the girls from this student
function has aroused many of the
women, who now know and announce
themselves suffragists.

WOMEN ARE MUTUAL

All women need the ballot, because
they are concerned equally with men

equally responsible for civic right

All men need women's help to

and women need men to help them
secure their right to fulfil this civic

Believes Everything Father Says.

can kick mile, at least that is what

The boy is visiting relatives near
Harrisburg, Ind. While at play he saw
a COW, fully mile away, and he ran
and hid in the haymow, according to a
story told at Connersville. The boy
said his papa, who was reared on a
farm; had told him there was no limit
to the reach of cows kick, and that
he thought it would be safer to hide
while one was in sight. 1t was with
difficulty the boy was convinced that
his father merely wanted him to keep

SKIN ERUPTION ON CHEEK

Kingsley, Mlch.-"Last May my
thirteen-months-old baby had a sore
come on her cheek. 1t started in four
or five small pimples and in two or
three hours time spread to the size OF
silver dollar. 1t spread to her eye.
Then water would run from the pim-
pies and wherever that touched 1t caus-
ed more sores until nearly all one
cheek and up her nostrils were one
solid sore. She was very fretful. She
certainly was a terrible looking child,
and nothing seemed to be Of any use.
Then / got some Cuticura Soap and
Cuticura Ointment. She tried to rub
off everything we put on so that we
would sit and hold her hands for two
hours at time, trying to give the
medicine a chance to help her, but

and then put on the Cuticura Oint-
