The acquittal of Isaac Harris and
Max Blanck by a jury in New York
appears from the evidence introduced
at the trial to be a miscarriage of
justice. These men operated the
Triangle Shirtwaist factory, a fretrap
sweatshop of the worst type, in which
lat poor girls lost their lives last
March. They were virtually prison
ers in the upper rooms of the structure
when the fire which destroyed them
started. Some of the doors we're
locked and the means of exit we're
entirely inadequate-they we're caught
like rats in a trap and then roasted to
death. Harris and Blanck we're in
dicted by a grand jury, tried on a
charge of manslaughter and
acquitted! Had those men, or rather
sweatshop slavedrivers, been tried by
a conscientious judge instead of by a
jury, the outcome would doubtless
have been different-they would have
been given sentence which would
conform with the evidence.

It is to be hoped that Governor
Eberhart will exercise great care in
selecting new member of the state
highway commission to succeed Mr..
L. W. Hill. If we could reach the
governors ear we would urge him to
select the best man obtainable for the

man, governor; one who is heart and
soul for good roads; broad-gauge
man who can take a statewide view
of the great question of road-improve-
ment; one who is not partial to any

believes in better roads from the
farms to the farmers nearest market
towns. Above all things, governor,
do not appoint a visionary, i'm

Corporations, is said, are soul
less, but the Duluth Labor World tells
of generous one. Paul Peterson,
the father of seven motherless chill
dren, lost his life in a mine accident.
Under the law at the time of the &C.
currence of the accident the highest
amount the company could be COM
PEELED to pay was $4,000, provided it
was held that Peterson lost his life
through the negligence of the mining
company. But the Oliver Mining
company, a subsidiary of the United
States Steel corporation, made q
voluntary settlement whereby the
children get $4,000, paid up 500 of
debts of the family, and each child
will receive $1,000 per month addi-
tional until each has attained legal
age-2l years. It was generous
settlement and reflects credit upon the
company.

fays Governor Harmon of Ohio, de-

forgotten Grover Cleveland's connec-

want to see another man of his stamp
get into the white house. But there
are no grounds for worry on this
score-the next president will be re-
publican in the person of William Fl.

A Peculiar CulminatIOn.

M. A. Carlson's Christmas gift to
his daughter, Minnie, who is clerking
in store at GAINESVILLE, was a
Triumph potato, wrapped in silver
paper. To Minnie, however, it was OF
much significance. 1t meant an ap-
probation of the fact that she had
made good-that she had triumphed.
But the best part of the story is per-
haps this-at least Mr.. Carlson
thinks so: Minnie exhibited her
unique Christmas present to her en-
ployer, who, after carefully examin-
ing it, asked whether her father could
furnish a carload of potatoes of like
quality. Minnie wrote to her father
and the carload was forwarded.

A TOAST FOR THE NEW YEAR

Oh, here's to the man who determines
To make the world follow his way
Reforms all the things that are evil
And makes the bad better each day!
Yet soft prediction we'll grant you
(If put through rigorous quiz
We feel for man @f'
Who makes-aS he can
The best of the world as it is.
They say the world captains" are toilers
Who kick up the dust as they go
So here's to these valiant reformers
May they have meager portion of woe!
We're glad Of the things they are doing
With wagons hitched tight to a star
But here's to the scouts
Who don't stay at outs,
With the old world of things as they are!
This pledge then we're making for New Years
In glass of the crystalline pure
We may not be cut out for great ones
No world heaters us-that is sure!
But though we're not much on the muck rake
That pokes up the slime and the rot
Well pledge as we stand
To hold out the hand
To the plucky old world that we've got!
