THOUGHTS ON THINGS
AND CURRENT EVENTS

Senator Tom eastman Of Steel
county has succeeded in forcing
through the senate his distance tariff
measure. The bill passed the senate
by vote Of IS to IS. He gained two
votes over two years ago.
Senator eastman declares that if
his bill becomes law, it will take
away certain special railroad privi-
leges which are now being exclusive
ly enjoyed by st. Paul and Mime
apolis. It is believed the bill will
pass the house.
The railroads look to Governor Eb-
erhart to veto the measure. Cover
nor Eberhart can be depended upon.
To do what?
A number of years ago the free
thinking people Of northern Mime
sofa, that is. the type Of men who
had no iron collars about their necks,
declared that the iron range railroads
gave rebates to certain favored min
ing companies. Local men Of influ-
ence decried such charges and de-
clared they were but the rantings of
disgruntled men who belong to the
element of discomfort.
Now after 10 years. it is admitted
by no less q person than James Gay
ley, former vice president of the
Carnegie Steel company, that that
corporation received rebates from the
iron ore carrying railroads Of north
ern Minnesota.
Or. Friedman has finally been
granted permission to test his treat
ment which he GLAZING is a cure for
tuberculosis. The eastern medical
societies have sought to prevent him
from making any tests in this coun-
try. -
It is to. be hoped that II DR.. Fried
mann has a cure for tuberculosis, he
will be given a square deal In this
country. On the other hand, If he is
humbug, as other doctors say he is,
then the quicker he is exposed the
better it will be for the HELPLESS VIC
Tins who are clamoring for his cure
by the thousands.
Minnesota suffragettes Indignantly

BOOSTS AND SLAMS
ON CURRENT EVENTS
WEST VIRGINIA's DISGRACE.

"ESI t1hSi1NlA'S D1SGiFtACE.
ID ECENTLY the Pittsburgh Leader
~ published an article upon the
West Virginia coal mining situation.
In part it says:
''West Virginia is the Mexico of the
North. Kanawha county Is the black
spot on the map Of the United States.
Paint Creek and Cabin Creek is dark
est America, the Siberia of the great
est republic in the world. Savagery
stalks through West Virginia and
reaches it's climax in Kanawha coun-
ty. unafraid and unmolested, because
the very government itself is savage
and lawless.
"West Virginia belongs to the Coal
Operators association. They have
the political government by the
throat, just as brutally as they have
exploited coal miners held in slav-
cry. The political government is
only the executive committee of the
Coal Operators association.
The hard, raw truth is that no
man in the Paint Creek and Cabin
Creek regions is allowed to even
show sympathy for the miner. much
less put that sympathy into words.
He is condemned and marked man
if some little act even hints that he
has human sympathy with human
surroundings if the poor, sufferer be
only q MINER
The entire article is filled with
positive statements and shows con-
dition which is almost unbelievable.
President White has also made the
statement that the most inhuman
treatment is being, accorded to the
wives Of the miners located in the
district mentioned. (. ~
EVERY weapon of = oppression
known to industrial warfare is be-
ing used against the strikers, their
wives and children" said President
White, "and in every step the oper-
ators have the assistance of the
wretched state government of West
Virginia."

WILSON WILL STAY HOME,

w 1LsoN will stay home. Instead
" Of galivanting about the coun-
try trying to break the records OF
passenger conductors for miles trav-
eled he will remain at Washington
and attend to the public business.
Incidentally he will regard the dig
nifty of the office.
The president has announced that
he will accept no invitation, will be-
come the guest of no one during the
first six months of his administra-
ton at least. What he has to say
he will say from the White House:
But the presidency will not be parad-
ed about the country. the chief
magistrate will not, be made the CEN
trail attraction and box office asset
at state and county fairs, street car
nivals and other public attractions.
It is the intention OF the presi-
dent-as stated before-to take the
people into his confidence. But he
will do it with dignity becoming from
the residence and Headquarters the
people have given him. This will be
a welcome change from the methods
pursued by the two ineumbents i'm
mediately preceding him.
Prior to about 1898 presidential
tours were made semi occasionally
and with dignity. They were not
campaign. trips. Mckinley made one
or two trips for the purpose of feel
ing public opinion and explaining his
position on the issues brought up by
the Spanish war. Roosevelt and Taft
were constantly running about the
country talking, talking, talking. But
they were followers rather than lead
ers Of public opinion. Wilson pro-
poses to make the office the head
of the nation, as it should be, and
to give it dignity. He expects tt

canal is formally opened, but other.
wise he will remain ION the job
1t looks more and more as II the
people had chosen a leader this time

DROPS CROSS OVER
TITANIC'S GRAVE

On a recent eastward voyage across
the Atlantic a great French liner
stopped it's engines few minutes off
the coast of Newfoundland; then
solemnly and tremendously the cap
tain dropped into the sea g. little
cross weighted with lead. A French
peasant woman, whose only son went
down with the Titanic, had given the
cross to the captain for that purpose.
The Incident calls to mind the lines
Of Kipling: "
II ere drowned in the deepest sea,
I know whose love would come down
to me.
Mother O mine, oh, mother O. mine!
The only foil to nagging wife is
a good-natured husband.

"BILLY'' WILSON IN THE CABINET.

President Wilson has appointed his cabinet Labor
will have it's first representative in that important
council of state in the person of William B. Wilson,
until March 4, member OF congress and former
tarreasurer of the United Mine Workers of America
President Wilson could have searched the world
Of labor from Maine to California and he would not
have found more typical and worthy repre-
sentative Of the who toll than W. B. Wilson, the
mine worker
Mr. Wilson was born in Scotland. He came to this
country when a boy. At the age of he be-
gan life a coal miner he worked this calling
continuously until he elected organizer for the
United Mine Workers.
In the early days of trade unionism in America,
Mr.. Wilson travelled foot from one mining camp to
another in the coal regions of Pennsylvania urging the
miners to form unions In doing this work, he shared
the miners lot, sleeping in cold and unnvng shantes,
and frequently bon fire in the open air on the
hillside
His only education received by home study and
in the school of hard knocks He from the ranks
working his by grim determination through i'm
porant offices in his union to member of congress.
He holds the highest gift that be bestowed
upon American citizen of foreign birth.
Mr. Wilson, lovingly called "Billy' by his friends
possesses more intimate knowledge of general labor
conditions than any other in America His long
life of experience as workman peculiarly qualities him
to meet the requirement imposed by his appointment
secretary of the department of labor.
Mr. Wilson indorsed for this important port
folio by MI. Gompers and his colleagues the Execu-
tive Council of the American Federation of Labor They
believe that the appointment is only recognition
of Mr. Wilson's ability, but it will inaugurate era
in governmental affairs, in which that great industrial
section Of society," the workers, will be represented
the Presidents Cabinet, by of their number
w. B. Wilson has never faltered in his advocacy OF
the rights of the people His honesty has been
questioned He has been tried in the field service
and he has measured to the highest test
President Wilson made mistake. We are morally
certain that time and results will vindicate "Biy'
Wilson's appointment.

movement is the pessimst; he is failure active

Low wages are stumbling block in the path Of

This is not a day of triumph; it is day of
dedication. Here muster, not the forces of party,
but the forces of humanity. Mems hearts wait
