wILsoN-TME POPULAR VOTE.


~ gans. after stating that Woodrow
Wilson's popular vote this year Is
not SO large as that polled by Bryan
In 1896" while the Opposition vote
has increased by a. round million"
declares that ''the popular vote, not
the electoral vote, Is the real test of
a party's strength and that ''Dr.
Wilson can thank his stars that the
opposition vote was divided in 1912"
But it is not fact that Woodrow
Wilson's popular vote exceeds the
average Democratic vote for the years
1895, 1900. 1904, 1908. On the other
hand the Republican vote In 1912 fell
from 100000 to 100000 below the
average Republican vote in these re-
cent years. The truth is that the De-
mocratic party, under Wilson, has at
least held it's own, while the Repub-
1ican party has lost more than so per
cent of its proportion of the popular
vote. II the popular vote is the test
of a party's strength, as Of course it
il, then the Republican party has
fallen from first place to a poor third.
Had the opinion not been divided,
had the fight been simply between
Taft and Wilson, does any intelligent
man doubt that Wilson would have
been elected Just the same? The
Roosevelt vote, in very large measure.
was a protest against Taft and his
party. How much of it would Taft
have received as against Wilson? Will
son, in these circumstances, would of
course not have received so large an
electoral vote. but he would have re-
ceived much larger popular vote
a very decisive majority Of the popular
vote.

The employment Of children under fifteen years

Where female labor is employed to the exclusion
OF male labor, the wages earned about one-half
and In some instances less than that earned by male
labor: We are not opposed to the employment Of
female labor on general principles; but we do con-
tend that where female labor is employed to reduce
wages to onehaf and less the injurious effects can
not be overestimated. Low wages tend to destroy
inc purchasing power OF the working people; thus
creating stagnation in industrial DEVELOPMENT.

the condition of the wage workers today and to-

false hopes, and adheres to labor issues and
measures which have fair chance of realization

MOONEY AND REAL DYNAMITERS. -

News reports from Indianapolis this week convey
the information that Ortie McManigal, in his
testimony against the structural iron works. declares
that Fred j. Mooney of Duluth wrote a letter to
j. j. Mcnamara thanking him for sending real
dynamiter'' to the Head of the Lakes.
1t so happens that friends Of Mr.. Mooney in
Duluth fully of the contents of all letters
written by him. and his reference to ''real dynamit
ers'' in one of his letters it will be proven had no
reference to any explosion occurring in or about
Superior, but that it had particular reference to
false report of an explosion that was supposed to
have occurred at Two Harbors.
Union labor men Of the strong type have been
characterized as "dynamiters'' in the joking
language Of the street by many people for years
back. The application Of this word has become
quite general, even among labor men themselves.
Out in West Duluth group Of well-to- domen
frequented certain popular store where they dis
cussed In emphatic language the political events
of the day. They in the habit of giving
utterance to strong and radical sentiments on most
questions, and because of this each of the group
was soon characterized "dynamiter. - The
group soon called the Dynamite club, - and it
has been known as such ever since.
In exactly the same manner have men Of labor
been nicknamed "dynamiters.' The editor Of this
paper has frequently been characterized as such,
even by hi> intimate friends. We have used the
term back and forth with colleagues but always
in the jocular When Mooney referred to
"real dynamiters,' he did so as any other man of
labor would have DONE
In the light OF this explanation the people of
Duluth asked to suspend their Judgment on the
guilt Of Fred j. Mooney until he shall have had an
opportunity to present his version to the federal
jury.
While the circumstances are largely against him
now morally certain he will be able to
satisfy all reasonable and fair minded persons that
he is innocent of the crime charged against him
and that he had knowledge of the operations
Of the Mcnamara s and their allies
We make this request for no other reason than
that still have confidence in Mr. Mooney

yanced money for the four indicted men
and her Amityville neighbors to make coal
land entries in Wyoming A few months
afterward the neighbors were induced to
transfer their land to the Owl Creek Coal

Beth Israel Plans Building to
Cost About 81 100000.
COMMITTEE SEEKS SITE
Association Sees Need Of a Much
Larger Structure to Meet
It's Demands.

The committee on site Of the Beth
Israel Hospital, al Jefferson and Cherry
streets, was instructed yesterday by the
board Of directors Of the hospital to at
once select and acquire a suitable site for
a new building, TO be erected at a cost Of
about 100000.
The meeting was held at the home OF
Joseph II. Cohen. president of the hospi-
tai, at No. 333 Central Park West The
board discussed the urgent need OF build
ing larger hospital for the care Of the
many thousands Of poor patients who are
turned away now for want Of room, as
well as for persons Of means who prefer
to be treated in a hospital conducted ac-
cording 10 their faith. The resolution
calling upon the committee on site to take
immediate action in the matter was
unanimously adopted.
1t is planned to erect the new building
in a central and accessible neighborhood
and TO make the new institution equal in
facilities and equipment to any similar In
sutution In the city. 1t is the hope Of the
directors that the enlarged hospital and
equipment will be sufficient TO meet the
requirements Of the community for the
present as well as for the future The
new building, it IS said, will stand as q
permanent monument to the charity and
generosity Of the Jews Of this city. espe-
cially Of those who have emigrated TO
this country from Eastern Europe.
Mr.. Cohen stated last night that he was
confident the necessary funds for the erec-
ton Of the new hospital would be forthcom-

The last annual report Of the Beth Israel
Hospital, made public last month, showed
that during 1911 the hospital had treated
1884 patients, and had been forced to re-

About 92 per cent OF those treated were
charity cases
In March, 1911 the Beth Israel Hospital
opened a new children's ward built on the
southern wing OF the roof Of the main hos
pital building. The added ward had ac-
cOmmodations for twenty-five children,
making the total capacity Of that part Of
the institution 140.

San Jose, Costa Rica, March 4.--Secre-
hry Of State Knox's tour TO the Central
American republics in the interests Of in
ternational amity is pleasing him i'm
nensely.
Panama received him with unanimity.
Before the Secretary arrived in Panama
word had gone out from the Arosemena
camp that the United States government
favored the reelection Of their leader. The
nrst address Of the Secretary went far TO
make II plain, however, that his mission
concerned international relations and not
the Internal affairs OF the republics visited.
Apparently the effect was excellent and
government officials and politicians who
had not spoken for weeks worked harmoni-
ously 10 make the visit Of the Secretary and
hs party personally enjoyable and profit
able from a diplomatic point Of view
In Costa Rica there has been general
belief that the United States is determined
70 bring about union Of Central American
republics. President Jimenez, while mini
nizing the effect of this sentiment on the
relations Of Costa Rica and the United
states, nevertheless made plain his own
views on the subject Of united Central
America.
Why" said he, should we unite with
other republics some Of whom have in
UFnal quarrels? We with an army Of only
.aree hundred men continue at peace and
uesote our energies 10 developing our

PREMIER TANG CRITICISED
FinanCierS in China Consider
Him a Visionary.
ACCUSE HIM OF THICKNESS
Offer of Loan of 100000
Taels Made on Saturday Is
Now Withdrawn.

Peking March lT-Premier Tang Shao-Y
has left here for Nanking. The southern
delegates with whom he came TO Peking
departed several days ago. Certain OF the
foreign ministers who have met Tang
Shao-Y consider him something of a Wis
lcnary. The -four powers group OF finan-
ciers though perhaps with some bias are
OF the opinion that his financial policy is
dangerous, and accuse him OF thickness in
the negotiation OF the present loans, with
which he was intrusted.
II is understood that the scheme for
financing China until the end Of June has
been suspended I'm consequence Of the loan
furnished by the Franco Belgian syndicate.
The -four powers" group has now refused
TO advance the 100000 taels promised BY
It on Saturday, in consequence of this
alleged breach OF faith, and is awaiting
advlces from the governments represented
by its members.
When Premier Tang shao-yi implored
prompt financial assistance, owing to the
necessity OF paying of 10000 soldiers, he
did not hint at any other loan, although
negotiations TO that end were then proceed
ing The whole incident IS attributed to
the inveterate Chinese habit of playing of
the rival foreign interests against each
other.
The southern delegation generally has
disappointed the diplomatic representatives
as. with one exception, they We're appar-
emily without experience. They have been
ardent workers for the cause, but seeming
~ do not realize that II the republic was
achieved with few sacrifices II was largely
because the Manchus did not seriously com
bat the delegates.
Anarchy and famine prevail throughout
the country, and China IS divided into sew
eral parts. The legations do not fear any
immediate or widespread risngs or any
anti foreign attacks, but they do not be-
lieye that the country Will be reunited
