The public Institutions committee of

We also find on investigating the
work of the Pueblo Construction Co,
that have the contract for the South
Side sewer. that they are paying their
men sl.S0 day for nine hours work
on West Mississippi street. and they are
paying other men sl.62 per day for nine
hours work near Louisiana, between
Lincoln and Sherman streets. This is
in violation of the city charter.
We present these facts for your con-
sideration. and desire that the board
take immediate action. Your prompt
correction of this violation of the city
charter will save the Denver Trades

Committee.
II Denver had officials that desired to
do their duty TO all the citizens alike. 1t
would not be necessary TO send commit
tees from labor organizations to tell
them when the law was being violated.
Instead of the officials looking for law
violations in other places. they should
first ascertain II their own work would
bear Investigation This Is not the first
time that violations have been recorded
against contractors doing work for the
city. 1t would seem that little less
"art" and more busines would be good
thing to practice in the office OF the
board OF public works.

MACHINISTS' HELPERS WANT OWN
INTERNATIONAL UNION.

The Machinists' Helpers have been en-
deavoring to obtain a charter from the
A. F. of l., for a separate international
union. The helpers will hold conven-
ton at the Markham hotel, Denver, on
March 25, and it was then that it was
hoped to launch the dual organization
to the Machinists; but the Machinists'
union have had the matter up with the
A. F. of L., through Charles Nicholson,
of the executive board of that organiza-
ton, and the correspondence from the
A. F. of L. shows that it will not charter
the Machinists Helpers, but on the other
hand they must affiliate with the Inter
national Association of Machinists. This
is timely action in preventing more or
ganations in the same craft. Let organ.

Lisbon Locals.


Lisbon, Jan. 1.-The old year of 1911
has passed. and the new year has been
registered. We must say that we have
been wonderfully blessed. and we now
ask In the name Of our fie.ren.y IA.
ther that we may be blessed, even as
much in 1912. While we write we
stop to think Of the dear ones who
were with us on the above date, who
have passed to the great beyond and

Young league is in Greenvile at a

expected.
We hear some talk of the general
assembly being asked to do away with
the rural police. Now. we want to say
right here, that the rural police are
doing more good than any other Off
GERS in the state, from the fact that
they have more territory to work in.
We would like to know why these Of
ficers should be done away with. They
certainly don't cost the county any
| thing, in the wind up from what
can gather. We admit, when our
hands go to church with whiskey,
handing it around and with gun in
his hip pocket ready to use it on all
occasions. and he does use it, we have
to pay the bill as we need him on the
farm With all of that we have a
great deal less of dsorderly conduct
at these places of meeting since we
got the rural police

tion as well as Boys.
Columbia, S. c., Dec. 30.-The Lutb-
eran synods Of South Carolina and
Tennessee will establish a college for
girls in South Carolina. This was the
decision reached yesterday, when a
cQmmittee appointed in November, met
in Columbia to discuss the matter. The
committee Is composed of: DR.. e. J..

meet in Columbia again on February

college and at that time it will be def
1nitely announced where the institu-
tion will be located
The Lutheran church is one of the
few which has not a denominational
school for girls in this State, and the
establishment of the new college will
fill long felt want. At a joint con-
ference of the South Carolina and
Tennessee synods, held in November,
il was decided to appoint the COM
mlttee, which met here yesterday,
with view to looking into the adj
visibility Of establishing a college for
girls and to make n decision
The location will be decided at a

Bids will be received from all towns
in this State desiring to be consid-

alfound inducements will be accepted
Already several South Carolina cities
have their eye on the new institution

pajSns to land the location. Column

make a great try, ana no doubt other
cities will bid.

expended for buildings to begin with.

of the committee to push the plan

No Other Builder From this City Re-
quests Contract for Erecting Great
Northern Passenger Station.
WORK TO START WITHIN MONTH
Building Will Be 217 Feet Long and
81 Feet Deep-Wil Have All
Conveniences.

Bemidji's new Great Northern de-
pot will be started some time dur
ing the next month.
This fact was made known today
when George Krearz, the Bemidji
contractor returned from St. Paul,
where he had gone to enter q bid
for it's construction.
Mr.. Kreatz states that he was the
only Bemidji builder to bid on the
erection of the station, and that the
successful bidder will in all proba-
bflity receive the contract some time
this week.
II this is done, and the promise of
the railroad company to start opera
lions as soon as the contract is let,
is kept, it means that work on the
depot will be begun within the next
month. This, according to Contrac-
tor Kreatz, are the present plans.
The building will be 217 feet In
length and 80 feet deep. It will
have all modern conveniences, ladies
and gentlemen's waiting rooms, tick

"The plans for the depot call for
one which will be a credit to Bemid-
j." said Mr.. Kreatz this morning.

Nomination of Progressive by Dem
ocrats Will Not Keep Him
Out of Fight.
WILL ADD MORE MEMBERS
New Party Managing Committee Will
Have New Men Added From
Time to Time.

Chicago, June 25.-The nominal
ton of a pronounced Progressive by
the Democratic convention at Balti-
more will make no change in the
plans Of Colonel Roosevelt to head a
new party.
In answer to a question, twill your
position be Influenced by any act of
the Baltimore convention?" Colonel
Roosevelt said:
sIt will not be. I shall not depart
from what I said on Saturday night.
I shall accept the Progressive nomi-
nation on Progressive platform and
shall fight the battle through to the
end"
Governor Johnson of California an
nounced the personnel of the commit
tee on organization, VIII ch for the
present at least will be the managing
committee of the new party. The
list was received with eagerness by
politicians both for and against the
new party as the first indication of
the men who are definitely aligned
with Colonel Roosevelt.
Instead of seven members, as was
the announced intention, Governor
Johnson named eighteen, all of whom
it was announced, had been notified
and had accepted their appointment.
The committee is headed by Governor
Johnson of California, who will be
acting chairman. The other members
are:
Senator Moses E. Clapp, Minnesota
Senator Joseph M. Dixon, Montana;
Senator Miles Poindexter, Washing
ton; Governor G. A. Aldrich, Nebras
ka; Governor R. s. Wesley, South Da-
kota; E. A. Van Valkenburg, editor
Philadelphia North American; Col
onel w. R. Nelson, owner and pub
Usher Kansas City Star; Former Con-
gresham Richmond Pearson, North
Carolina; William R. Prendergast.

William Allen White, Kansas; Gift
ford Pinchot, California; Judge Ben
B. Lindsey, Colorado; Mathew Hale,
Massachusetts,; George L. Record,
New Jersey; Charles H. Thompson,
Vermont; Colonel E. G. Darlington,
Maryland.
The committee, Governor johnson
declared, was merely temporary, and
would be added to from time to time.
No date for a meeting of the COM
mittee of eighteen has been set, and
the understanding is that the mem
bers will correspond with each other
by mail and telegraph as soon as the
conditions in the several states are
ascertained.
The leaders said they are aware
that in the launching of the new
party they must count on the
strength of the Roosevelt movement
in the ranks of the Republican party,
and that many influential Republic
cans whose standing in the party
never has been questioned, strongly
favor Theodore Roosevelt, and one of
the problems which must befaced in
the campaign will be how to utilize
this force within the regular Repub-
lican ranks. so that it will aid the
| new party. g..5-.

MANY VISITORS CALL ON LEADER
Colonel Bryan Spent Entire Day Yes
terday in His Room Comforting
with Delegation Leaders.

Baltimore, Md, June 25.-
Today, Woodrow Wilson appears
as the Bryan candidate unless
the Nebraskan should develop
later as his own candidate.
There are many Democrats
who look for this. They expect
no result on the first two or
three ballots and they think
Bryan will come forward with a
rush and try to stampede the
convention for himself.
New York's 90 votes, howev-
er, cannot be stampeded for any,
body unless Murphy gives the
word, and that is why the New
York leader today has more con-
troll over the situation than any
other man here.
