THE CANADIAN PACIFIC'S POINTER.


The Canadian Pacific Railroad announces that here
after its lands will be sold to settlers only The
Canadian Pacific is atruistic corporation, so
its for barring spectators is strictly business
one Spectators do not bring traffic railroads
and they prevent others from bringing traffic. Only
land users bring business
1t is pity that all business concerns do not see
as clearly as the Canadian Pacific Every vacant lot
in the cities and every unused piece of valuable land
farmers and aborers generally realized that fact they
would not tolerate system which makes it profitable
to hold valuable land out of use

had been wise last fall the Canadian Pacific they
would not have voted in favor Of giving the land

monopolies have hired agents who banbooze farmers
into opposing the single tax but they don't

The policy of the Canadian Pacific will not only
bring it more business, but will bring it unearned
profit also. There is strip of land which it will
not sell either to settlers else. The strip
OF land reaching the continent, on which it's
rails laid will increase enormously in value Every
new settler will help to create unearned increment
for it, This will be the does not spend
dollar for improvements The labor of settlers
will enable Canadian Pacific stockholders to live in
luxurious dleness.
If the people of Canada are wise they will put
stop to the absorption of increment by rail-
road monopolies we'll by the little monopolists
whom the railroads to dislike. To do this, they
need but decree that the values created by the public
shall go the public

LABOR REVIEWS SAD PLIGHT.

If the trade unions of Minneapolis are satisfied with
the kind of they are getting in Labor Review
it's their business The Labor World has no
quarrel with them this account.
If they satisfied with the Eighty, hair-braned,
jerk-water editormanager of their owned and con-
trolled' paper, whose demagogic appeals, faa-
cious accusations and uggle of sophstry make him
laughing stock of the thinking people of the state,
that too is their business
when this founding editor willfully perverts
the TRUTH and under the preense that he is protecting
the rank and file of organized labor from false and
corrupt leadership attempts discredit the achieve
of the trade union movement by supporting the
claims Of employers associations in declaring that the
movement of labor is the decline, he should not
complain if he is taken to task by those friends of
trade unionism who not accept his false claims.
Labor Review is ''owned and controlled" by the
Minneapolis Trades and Labor Assembly. It's editor
has been struttng about the Flour City for
several months with chip his shoulder making
accusations of general character against the most
prominent officials of organized labor in Minnesota.
Specific charges so far we know, have never been
made, and mentioned, little atten-
ton paid to them
The editor of Labor Review next directed his efforts
to an unwarranted attack the financial condition of
several international trade unions affiliated with the
American Federation Of Labor and declared that the
officials of these organizations mucting the
tries and otherwise disspatng the unions funds.
also attempted to ridcule the determined fight the
United Hatters Union making to get from under
Ubiquitous court decision and he made pitiful
attempt to belitte the heroic struggle the shop
poyes waging the Hartman Lines.
When the editor of Labor Review thus fouled the
American labor movement, the Minnesota Union Advo-
St. Paul and The Labor World of Duluth, the
distinctly trade union papers of Minnesota, landed
upon him with both feet. They did not engage in
personalities, but they did answer his false claims
that he since has had the courage to refer to
the slopover that brought upon him all the trouble
from which he is endeavorng to escape by resorting
to the most nnnyke and ridiculous back-re tactics
put in public print
One would think, after reading his crude and child
ish Defense that he has been made martyr to
glorious employers paper pities in his
sad plight two trade union papers repudate him for
his treachery to the labor movement while Socialist
is thoroughly ashamed of him it is talking OF
absorbing Labor Review, and taking it get rid
of it's erratic editor-manager.

ates 100000 a year to cover the cost
of maintenance for this hospital for
crippled and deformed children. Last
year it restored to health SS5 chill
dren; it improved 1874 others. It has
more than justified all outlay ,of
money thus far expended by the state
and the personal effort made by the
excellent staff Of surgeons in attend
ance.
We understand that DR.. Gillette is
asking for small appropriation from
this legislature to double the work
that is now being done. This will
mean the addition Of four small wards
OF rs beds each, and a story on the
present executive building for the
nurses and help. The legislature
should make the appropriation with
out a. dissenting vote.

THOMAS F., FEIGH'S GIFT.

IT HE older we grow the more we
Il learn that there is some good in
all men. We often get biased opin-
ions Of people from the fact that they
possess something in their personality
that does not please us.
Thomas F. Feigh, the other day,
gave 100000 to Bishop McGolrick,
$4,000 of which is to be used for
the construction Of an addition to
St. Mary's hospital, which will be de-
voted to the free treatment of
crippled children.
Mr.. Feigh is said to be rich man.
who has lived all his life a bachelor.
He has been crippled since his in
fancy, and because of his deformity
he has lived a rather lonely and Sc
cluded life. People who pretend to
know him have said that he was a
close-f1sted money getter, whose life
has been centered in gathering wealth
and stingly boarding it, even sacri-
icing many personal wants out of
fear that he might in the slightest
measure diminish the size of his fast
accommodating fortune. He has been
oA~~~~
with suspicion every person with
whom he came in contact. He
seemed to be hard, cold and selfish
and no one envied him his vast for
tune, for it appeared to be.giving him
precious few Of the good things of
life. ~.
All these things said Of Mr.. Feigh
may be true, but his magnificent gift
to Bishop McGolrick for the free
treatment of crippled children has
shown that there is some good in the
cid fellow, and that, after all, who
are we to measure the character of
any man? This one act indicates
that he has a heart, and that he
proposes to make some contribution
to relieve suffering children from the
infirmity that, no doubt, has caused
him much pain and embarrassment
through his life.

Dor. higher wages, improved working
conditions, and a greater measure Of
industrial freedom than their fathers,
and these were secured by the perse-
cuted men of labor of the past. The
great fear for the security of the
movement of today is due to the in
difference of the workingmen now
who have not come to learn that
eternal vigilance' is the price of in
dustrial, as we'll as every other form
Of human liberty.
The trade union, like the church,
need not fear persecution, but it
should beware of Indifference.

DIR. G1LLErrE's GREAT WORK,

IT HE proposal to build an addition
Il to st. Mary's hospital for the free
treatment of crippled children calls
to our attention the wonderful
achievements of the state hospita
and school for INDECENT, crippled and
deformed children at Phalen Park,
St. Paul.
DR.. Gillette, the chief Ct the surgi-
cal staff at this institution, has been
performing miracles down there in
Strengthening out deformed bones of
unfortunate children.
His annual report to the State
Board Of Control tells Of the treat
ment Of 75S children during the year,
cured of all disease and deformity
1874 have been discharged considerably
improved; "a We're discharged as un-
improved, and 81 died.
This percentage Of deaths among
the deformed children is very small
especially when one considers that
more than three fourths Of the chill
dren admitted were suffering from
detormities due to disease, for de-
1orm1ty due to an injury or present
at birth is rather rare.
Not only have these children been
relieved of their suffering and de-
formities, but they have been able to
continue their education uninter-
rupted while submitting to treatment
In many cases children received in
structions while in bed.
It is quite interesting to note, and
inspiring too, to find that the school
work was Of great benefit to the chill
dren in a medical way, as it assists IN
Willing away many hours in bed
which would be very tedious If they
did not have something to do to keep
them from broodins over their ply

FREE TOLI.S-A SOLUTION.

There is great deal agitation in the editorial
columns of the daily press concerning the law which
exempts vessels engaged in the coastwse trade from
the payment of Panama canal tolls. 1t is denounced
by our foremost journals violation OF treaty
with Great Britain, in which equal treatment assured
to all nations in the transit of ships and commerce
through the canal
There is little force to the contention which is
advanced in behalf of exemption American ships
as long there shall be discrimination between
foreign nations, Great Britain mas in what
charges we may exact from ships engaged in
domestic Interstate commerce.
Washington newspaper urges with little force
OF argument that the HayPaunceote treaty should be
denounced by the United States, conditions
have altered since it negotiated. Owing to Mr..
Roosevelts Impotence with Colombia, the zone
has become in fact, American territory, while the
treaty is designed to fit the situation which
fore Panama revolted and it's independence recog
1zed and established.
There is great deal Of distress manifested by
many of the organs of public opinion lest the honor
of the nation shall be tainted by American
ships We not deeply impressed with the fear
that honor be furnished by not giving English
shipowners the privileges given American ship
owners We recognize the fact that it is national
honor SO much it is the private profits of rival
groups of capitalists that have caused the uproar
Great Britain has no scrupes concerning it's honor
when the interests of British capitalists are to be
served, we have in it's strangng of the South
African republics and it should be quite able to
vive the shock of free tolls to American Ships
There is a simple method by which the people could
benefit from RENTED tolls without doing violence to
the nations honor" The government has been run
ming line of freight ships from New York to Panama
in the absence of prvate-owned lines capable of hand
ling the commerce. On the Pacific side, however the
ships owned by the Southern Pacific railway, which
has proceeded to charge all that the traffic will bear
government line ON the Pacific side, with a
through routing of ships after the be opened
would settle the question Of cheap transportation It
would make difference whether tolls should be paid
or remitted what the would pay in tolls
it could use in maintaining it's ships
Such solution, have idea would not be
satisfactory to the financial interests which own rail-
ways and ships and which quite much at home in
London in New York, it is not the canal tolls
which concern them much it is the tolls which they
levy upon commerce their own account
Government owned ships and government owned
railways would be quite as much a disaster to them
government owned ships were to the gentle
men of Queen Elizabeths court, who equipped fleets
to fight England's battles by descending upon the
golden cargoes of the Spanish main.

CONFESSION OF INCOMPETENCE

TN RES1GN1NG from the senate,
Il Senator Bailey of Texas per-
formed about the only public service
of his political career.
Before leaving, he made a long
winded address against the initiative
and referendum. He seems uncon-
scious of the fact that the very pres
ence of men with such records as his
in legislative bodies alone, constitutes
an unanswerable argument for direct
legislation. He unintentionally adj.
mitted his own incompetence.
Holding up copy Of the official
pamphlet, which the state of Oregon
sends to all voters explaining the
measures to be voted on, Bailey
scoffed at the idea that the people
are capable Of understanding it's con-
tents and added: IT could not I'M
