who would stop and hear. They were
criminals. they were outlaws: they
could find no church; they gathered
few together as they could; as
Jesus of old gathered His disciples
about Him where He went; but those
outlaws; those disreputa bles. those
men spurned. despised and accused,
were the forerunners of a brighter
and more glorious day, and we in this
generation bow down in reverence to
the memory of those outlaws who
gave their time, their energy and their
lives to the suffering black.
"One Of these was John Brown,

the infinite power had planted with
in him a heart that bled for his fell

of the devotion of the cause that he
gladly gave it for the slave. John

poor black, workman. He struck a
blow in his defense. His body lies
moldering In the ground, but his soul

MAY ASK GOMPERS
TO STOP OFF HERE
Call Issued for Seattle Convention
of A. F. Of L.-Delegates to
Pass Through Duluth.

The call for the thirty-third an
nual convention of the American
Federation Of Labor to be held in
Seattle, November 10, was this week
received in Duluth. The convention
promises to be the largest and most
important of it's kind ever held in
America. Railroad rates from St..
Paul, Minneapolis and Duluth to
Seattle and return will be $50.
The Minnesota State Federation of
Labor will not send a delegate, but
nevertheless there will be several we'll
known union men who will attend
from Minnesota. The st. Paul Trade
and Labor Assembly in all probable
ity send one delegate.
The Duluth Federated Trades and
Labor Assembly, it is believed, will
vote not to send a delegate to the
convention. The Duluth central body
is short of funds. It is figured that
it will require at least 5000 to send
a representative to the Seattle con-
vention, and this amount looks like
mountain to the Duluth unions
just now.
It is believed that many delegates
from the east attending the conven-
ton will stop off at Duluth on their
way out. An effort is. to be made by
the Duluth unions to induce Mr..
Gompers to go to Seattle by way Of
Duluth, and to stop off one day here
for lecture. A committee is now
working on the plan. and word from
Mr.. Gompers is expected almost any
day.

OF Duluth union men who attended
the Brainerd convention of the State
Federation of Labor. He was the lone
delegate from International Falls and
succeeded in landing the convention

Although some fifteen or twenty
names have been mentioned" as
prospective candidates for Congress
in the Second district, now that Con-
gresham Roddenbery's death has
created a vacancy there, il is not
likely. when the matter gets right
down to brass tacks." that there will
be more than three or four candi-
dates in the race.
1t seems reasonably sure that Ros-
coe Luke, of Townsville; W. A. Gov
ington, Of MouItrie, and Judge Park,
of Sylvester, will be in the race to
the finish, but beyond that nothing
definite may be stated now.
Judge Hopkins, of Townsville, a
member OF the present Legislature,
has been suggested as a fit and prop
er man for the position of Represen-
tative from the Second district in
the National Congress. and undOubt-
edly he would make most formid-
able candidate should he run. How
ever, he has not indicated what he
will do. Mayor Banks, of Triton, was
looked upon originally as a sure en-
try, but for some reason he withdrew
and decided not TO try for the honor
now Colonel Jesse G. Perry, the
Governors private secretary, is Sc
riously considering making the race,
but has not yet made up his mind
definitely.
In any event, it looks as If the
race will be confined to not more
than four candidates and possibly
three or even two.
1t is not thought possible, of course,
that some patriotic and liberty loving
citizen of the Second might have
the honor conferred upon him with
out protest!
Governor Slaton has communicated
with Henry Mcintosh, Of Albany,
chairman of the Democratic EXecu-
tive Committee of the Second dis
trist. as to what time would be most
acceptable to the voters Of the dis
trist for an election to be called.
When the Governor hears from this
communication he will issue his
proclamation calling the election. Il
likely will be called about November
10. as the Governor wishes tc give
the prospective entries as muCn time
as possible, so long as it does not
delay filing the vacancy too long.
Mayor Roscoe Luke was very close
to Congressman Roddenbery, whose
place is to be filled and likely will
fall heir to much Of the Roddenbery

MOSCOW, RUSSIA, Oct Count
Leo Tolstoy's sustained devotion to
his wife, as well as his keen criti-
cisms of men and things is apparent
in his letters to the Countess for
the period 1s62-1slo. which have just
been published
Before leaving life to join the
man l love in the spiritual region
where he has gone says the Countess
in the preface to the book Il wish to
share with those people who love and
respect his memory his letters to me
so that they may follow our story
through 4S years of almost to the
end happy union"
In his letter proposing marriage, he
said:
Il should have died OF laughter II
a month ago some one had told me
what l am suffering and, fortunately
have been suffering all this time.
Tell me as an honest being, do you
wish to be my wife? But only if with
all your soul say yes. Better say no
If you have a shadow of doubt. It
would be dreadful for me to hear
no but I would find strength to sup
port it,"
Accepts Wife's Criticism.
In reference to a criticism by his
wife he wrote:
You are quite right in saying that
all that is historic and military in
my novels is not composed we'll II
is only when describing character
and family relations that it is good"
While on a visit to the stepes Of
Samara for his health Tolstoy made
this admission:
II feel differently and have recov-
cred from the error of holding that
others must look at things as ! do"
And this of inebrlates:
"A drunken man drove me in his
cart to-day. He kissed me and my
dog, and said | was a father to him.
The kindest, most charming human
being is a drunken man in the first

TEDDY MAY LOSE SUIT.
QUESTION OF WAIVER OF RE-
/ TRACTION.
Judge Will Rule on Whether COloueps
Failure To Demand Denial is of Mo.
ment.

Marquette, Mich, May 3O.-Lawyers
in attendance on the suit of Theodore
Roosevelt against George A. Newett,
charging libel, are looking forward
with great interest to a prospective
ruling by Judge Flanagan constituting
section Of the Michigan laws bear.
ing on libel.
The law was designed to protect
newspapers from the consequences Of
honest mistakes and provides that de-
mand for retraction Of a libelous arti-
Gle should be made by the offended
party. Col. Roosevelt made no such
demand, it is admitted, and on this
point the legal experts are looking
for interesting developments. The
matter will come up when counsel
for Mr.. Newett attempt to show that
the editor made his charge of drunk
enness in good faith and without
malice, believing it to be true
Judge Flanagan will have to rule,
assuming that the article was printed
maliciOusly, but in the absence of
demand for retraction, whether the
alleged bad faith Of Mr.. Netwett NAV
be taken into account in estimating
damages.
Col. Roosevelt spent a quiet day
but he was unable to resist the persist
ence of veterans who had asked him
to address them and compromised by
receiving them at the home Of George
Shiras, his host while here. He ad-
dressed them at some length.
The believing of fog horn
through the night and during the
forenoon failed to disturb him.
