make PREPARATION
FOR BIG LABOR DAY.
Active Committees At Work For
Banner Celebration-Parade
to Be Held.

If the Labor day celebration this
year does not excel all efforts along
that line in the past it will not be
the fault of President w. J.. butcher
of the Federated Trades and Labor
ssembly. 80
He has appointed on his "boosting
committee enthusiastic men, whose
hearts are really in the work. These
men have been making the rounds of
the various locals this week to work
up little enthusiasm for the Labor
day parade, and the cordial reception
accorded them everywhere seems to
Justify the opinion that their slogan
for good big turnout is certain to
bear fruit
The committee is holding regular
meetings in connection with the COM
mittee from the Union Labor Pavilion
association. A souvenir program will
be published and advertisements will
be received from representative mer-
chants throughout the city. ..
Particular stress is laid by Presi-
dent butcher on the Importance of
beginning the day right with big
parade. The sport features at Fair
mount park will be of a good draw
ing character. A subcommittee on
sports will be appointed and prizes
will be solicited.
It is expected that the coming
Labor day will be the best that was
ever observed in Duluth.

SENATORS GET WORD
FROM CONSTITUENTS
Early Vote Expected on Injunc-
ton and Contempt Bills
in Senate.

WASHINGTON, July 25.-The in
junction limitation bill is still before
the senate judiciary committee. The
attorneys for the manufacturers and
railroads are appearing in opposition
to the measure. When they have con-
cluded President Gompers and a few
others will make arguments in behalf
Of the bill.
Letters coming to the senators
from trade unionists are having a
very perceptible effect in favor of it.
If this practice is continued and the
senators are given to clearly under
stand that they will be each held re-
sponsible If congress adjourns with
out this legislation being enacted, the
senators undoubtedly will heed the
directions given them by their consti-
tuents.
The contempt bill was brought be-
fore the house with a special rule on
July 8: The rule was adopted by a
vote Of 152 to 81. After considerable
debate, the bill was passed on July ii
by vote Of 233 ayes to IS nays.
The opposition to labor's measures
Is steadily growing less. If labor

The passage Of this measure (the

tention made by labor that If the bills
advocated by labor can be brought up
on the floor Of congress there is no
question or doubt about their passage.
This contempt bill is now before
the senate committee on Judiciary, to-
gether with the Injunction Limitation
BILL. Timely pressure brought to bear
upon senator's by the folks back

WASHINGTON, July 25.-The pro-
vision for the gradual substitution
of power for hand presses in the
bureau of engraving and printing was
ruled out of the sundry civil appro-

point of order raised by Congress-
man Hughes of New Jersey.
The senate adopted this provision
and if it refuses to concur with the
house bill, as amended, it will go to
a conference committee, which will
undoubtedly come to some agreement
in the matter.

That important Question---A Sc Fare

ment we believe is in error and
state for our authority the fact
that in a recent interview with a
member of the Railway Commits
sion we were informed that if
we would present the matter in
a plain straightforward manner
and show discrimination, that
they would undoubtedly take the
matter up and see what relief
could be given us and further as
sured US that the matter would
come within t h e ir jurid-
diction. Then again, take the
other view of the matter, sup
pose the commission couldn't do
anything for US if we got them
to take the matter up it would
show the Tramway Co. that we
were in earnest and that wemeant
to do something. Think the mat
ter over. We would be glad to
hear from some Of our business
men in regard to this.

Once more we want to say a
few words in regard to the one
most needed thing to make our
city grow-a five cent fare. There
is no use to dwell on the good
such a rate would do us, for most
every child knows how badly we
need it, but the important thing
is how to get it. Committee
after committee has been to the
Tramway Co. asking for all kinds
of concessions on their part, but
the most they could get was a
hearing without any promise or
action. 1t is now up to Arvada
to get busy and do something.
The scheme to make the Tram
way pay a reasonable tax on their
holdings in jefferson county is
no more than right and, if it is
really gone into with the right
intention, might do some good,
but if it is to be used as a politi-
cal pull it might as we'll be passed
up entirely for all the good it will
do the citizens of Arvada.
The one way now left to show
the Tramway people that we are
in earnest is to take the matter up
before the State Railway COM
mission. Now some may say
that the commission has no juris-
diction over the Tramway COM
pany out here, but that, is state

Farmer Politics
By H. w. M.

During the recent session of
congress, a very large number
of the members of both houses
took special pains to declare
themselves opposed to the recall
of judges. These expressions
were not confined to the stand
pat" or Tory members, but
many, if not most of the liberal
members including even Senator
La Toilette, so declared them
selves; and many conspicuous
leaders outside of congress in
cluding President Taft, Governor
Woodrow Wilson, and Ex- -Presi-
dent Roosevelt. We wonder if
these leading gentlemen have
seen a light" since the last
California election,
AS to President Taft, he has
committed himself too positively,
particularly in his Arizona veto
to ever change on this question.
Woodrow Wilson has shown that
he has an open mind for new
facts or arguments, and when
he is convinced that he was form
erly wrong, he has the courage
of his new convictions and that
fearlessness of consequence that
leads him to be consistent with
his new self and honest with his
audiences, whether in the
East, West, North or South.
This kind of a mind is very close
to the ideal; and this kind of
man can be trusted, even at the
present time he can so the whole
length" j" We know that such u
man will always progress, ard
will be right in the end. Even
if wrong at the beginning, new
experinces. and new facts viii
bring such man around to the
right.
AS to Colonel Roosevelt, large
number Of farmers characterize
him as a wobbly politician. f"
He has favored the recall of
judges in the west and opposed
it in the East. His position and
manner are those of a politician,

A very interesting discussion
recently took place in the senate
of the United States upon the
right of petition. In view of GER
tain facts, Senator Hepburn pro-
tested against receiving a petit
ton of the American Federation
of Labor signed by Samuel Com
pers, president. Senator Dodge
Of Massachusetts, after recalling
the history of the right of peti-
ton, said it should always be re-
ceived if the language was re-
spectful. The right of petition
is to me great constitutional
right" Mr.. Reed of Missouri
joined with him on the broad
constitutional ground. Il say
here and now there is no citizen
of the republic so humble, so
obscure, that he is not entitled
to have his petition presented to
this body. The right of petition
and the right of remonstrance
was settled when the British flag
was lowered at Yorktown.
There is no public body in this
land so great that it ought not to
receive and give consideration to
the petition of any man however
humble he may be" "

Providing Grain for Colts.

Farmers should not forget that
draft colts need some grain this fall.
When the pastures are short, a little
grain will effect wonders in n colts

They may be left to eat with the

place of their own. when they get the

OF REALITY.

Richard Harding Davis. novelist
and war correspondent, is being sued
for divorce, by his wife, Clara Clark
Davis. The libel was filed at Chi
eago, and charges desertion. Davis
was an ardent wooer and his mar
riage to Miss Clark was quite as
romantic as some of his novels have
been. The marriage took place in
1899. at Marion, Mass, and the
novelist and his wife lived together
until the early part of 1909, when
without known cause. the male of the
species packed his grip and departed
from his home and fireside, since
when he has lived apart from Mrs.
Davis.
Some papers are inclined to view
with alarm" this instance of marital
incompatibility or whatever 1t may
be. and are in~sinuating and even as
sorting that literary genius and
married life do not harmonic. The
three or four instances cited, includ-
Ing that of Davis. should not be
taken as proof conclusive. Davis is
something of a crank in his way. and
the chances are that even had he
chosen some other profession than
that of a novelist. domestic life
would have wearied him. Perhaps If
Mrs. Davis had taken him by the
scruff of the neck so to speak, ard
shook some of the self conceit out of
him. Richard would have had his eyes
opened and decided to be good.
A wife and a family is not neces-
sarily a detriment to literary fame,
provided the wolf is not too persist
ent in scratching at the door. In
such crisis, 1t is better for the hus-
band to give up pursuit of the mus
and take to saving wood along some
other line. until his body and brain
are properly nourished to keep the
fires of genius burning. as we'll az the
fire In the kitchen stove. In this case,
his wife, If she be of the right sort,
will be an interested companion and
true friend, and do her share towards
the common family good. We ex-
pect Davis has been used too well,
and his blessings dulled his appreeia-
ton. A wife and family did not pre-
vent Dickens from gaining post
humous fame. This is not intended as
a comparison between Davis and the
kindly prince of Gad's Hill, but will
serve the purpose of showing that
literature and domestic JOY can 60

SHELTER FUMES UTILIZED.
Manufacture of Acid Phosphate
C~heapened Through Use
of Gases.

The revival of agriculture in the
south owes much to the natural de-
posts of phosphate which are found
in Florida, South Carolina, and Ten
nessee. Experiments have shown
that raw rock phosphate will stimu-
late plant growth, but the process is
slow and the fertilizing element may
be made available more quickly by
treating the rock with sulphuric acid.
On this account the successful
manufacture of fertilizer from rock
phosphate depends in great measure
on a cheap source of sulphuric acid.
A plentiful and cheap supply of sui
phuric acid means a cheap and more
readily available supply of fertilizers.
The greatest demand for %sulphuric
acid is in the fertilizer industry, the
greatest supply of raw materials for
this industry is found in the southern
states, and the greatest demand for
fertilizers also exists in this same
section. Few industries, therefore.
are of importance to the south
than the manufacture of sulphuric
acid.
The sulphuric acid plants at Duck
town, Tenn, were installed with the
purpose of disposing of the objection
able fumes from the large smelters of
the copper companies at that place.
According to +. B.. Laney, of the
United States Geological Survey, who
describes these plants in an advance
chapter from Mineral Resources of
the United States for 1911" they
have been very successful. They use
what was, until their establishment,
not only wholly a waste product of
the shelters but also a menace to all
the adjacent country. These acid
plants have therefore produced at
least three desirable results by fur
nishing a large supply of acid where
1t is most needed, by rendering valu-
able large supplies of sulphur hither-
to worthless and by relieving the
of the nuisance of the smelter
fumes, thus making ii possible to
continue operating the mines and at
the same time to cultivate the sur
rounding lands.
A copy of the paper by Mr.. Laney
can be obtained by applying to the
director of the Geological Survey at
Washington.
