road Commissioners.

Olaf Bjorke, one of the Demo-
cratic candidates for Railroad
Commissioner is Scandinavian
by birth, having been born in Nor
way, but having come to the
United States when a youth, and
he has resided in North Dakota
continuously for the past twenty
four years. He is IS years of age
and in vigorous health, and is at
present State Game Warden of
North Dakota
He is located at Abercrombie in
Richland county and is engaged
in the machinery business and
has a wide and extensive ac-
quaintance and business exper-
fence. He is a married man, hav-
ing a wife and four children. three
boys nd one girl.
Mr.. Bjorke correctly impresses
all whom he meets with the idea
OF his native and answering
honesty and integrity, and further
acquaintance always confirms the
good opinion. While he is q con-
sistent democrat of the Bryan
persuasion, he never hesitates to
commend any good official fires
pective of his political persua-
sion. He is thoroughgoing
American citizen and believes in
the rights of the masses and the
progressive spirit that is now
m aking formidable Roadway
throughout the nation. He is
reasonable but aggressively pro-
gressive, and yet is not a critic
who blindly complains without in
vestigation. He would make one
of the best railroad commission
ers the state has ever had and
would give the Office close atten-
ton and honest effort. His cleo
ton would, after he had been in
stalled in his Office, commend it.
self to all the people irrespective
of party alliance.
Any one desiring any further
information as to the fitness of
Mr.. Bjorke for the place his party
has named him as candidate, can
do no better than to inquire about
him in Richland county of both
democrats and republicans,
among the men and women who
have known him for many years
past. Their opinion of him would
be the highest sort Of q recon-
mendation to the people at large.

Wilson Progressive, But Safe.

Governor Wilson has Quilted
the fears of the business interests
that the tariff may be reduced too
suddenly in the event of Demo-
cratic success in November.
Governor Wilson recently had
a conference with Congressman
Redfleld of New York, who has
made some of the most sensible
tariff speeches ever heard in Con-
gress, and it was agreed between
them that the proper and safe
thing to do with regard to the
tariff is to cut it down gradually
until the proper level is reached.
In that way it will be easy to as
certain just what effect each sue
cessive cut has on the price con-
ditions and wages. Thus by easy
stages the tariff for private profit
can be turned into tariff for
revenue, and this process is sure
to result in a reduction in the cost
of living.
Governor Wilson is not anxious
to injure any mans business. He
will insist, however, in the event
of his election, that all business
be legitimate, and that the false
foundation be taken from under
the tariff trusts. But he will
make it gradual process, and
one that will not disturb either
business OF the country in gen.
eral. !.

has observed with growing horror
for some time, ought to be popu-
lar.
The spectacle of sticky or dirty
persons handling the public's food
supply is one that almost calls
for q new political party. It is
not q laughing matter, either, for
we know now better than we ever
knew before that it is q matter of
life and death.

the Presidents second veto Of the
wool bill, which veto gives the
wollen trust a continuance of its
privilege to plumber the consumer
while at the same time paying its
workers starvation wages, a page
from the hearings in connection
with the Lawrence strike inquiry
makes interesting reading. The
witness is Miss Sanger, a trained
nurse, page 226, Hearing on
House Resolution 400 and 433.)
Mr.. Pou: You were instru-
mental in taking number of the
strikers children away from Law

Miss Sanger: Yes sir.
Mr.. Pou: Did you talk with
those children about their manner
of living?
Miss Sanger: Yes sir. found
that the children-there were 1i9
of them in my party-seldom ate
meat, and their physical condition
was the most horrible have ever
seen. In the first place four of
the smallest children had chicken
pox, and they had not received any
medical attention. They were
walking about among the other
children apparently without no.
ticing the chicken-pox or diph-
liberia; one child had diphtheria.
OF the 1i9 children only four of
them had underwear, and it was
bitterly cold. We had to run all
the way from the station to Labor
Temple after we got to New York
TO keep from freezing.
Mr.. Foster: You say only four
had underclothing; what was the
condition of their outer clothing !?
Miss Sanger: It was simply in
rags. Their coats were worn to
shreds. 9
Mr.. Foster: Were the children
pale and thin7
Miss Sanger: Yves sir, and ]

supper it would have brought
tears to your eyes to see them
grab for the meat with their bare

worked in wooden mills?
