pai9n remains to be seen.
The News Tribune does not take tn.
defeat Of Governor Eberhart grace
fully. It charges his refeat up to the:
Democrats who, it says, have made.
him the target Of abuse for ave years.
That the News Tribune statement Is
incorrect is evident from the fact that
q large number Of O. certain kind Of
Democrats in Duluth went into the
primaries and voted for the governor.
There is no doubt but what the state
looses a good official in Governor
Eberhart. but to say that he was the
best friend this section Of the state
ever had in the governors chair. is
giving him too much credit and un-
dervaluing the friendship tf many Of
his predecessors. :,s> IT. - @.*'
AS a matter Of f-fact, northern MIN.
nesota never had an enemy in the
governors chair. The interests in this
portion Of the state may have had an
occasional enemy at the head OF our
state government, but the people. sell
dom. The News Tribune says that
this county is friend Of its friend,
ana there is no higher quality in Or
out Of politics than this" This sounds
very we'll, but it usually depends on
whose OK Is being gored and part1cu-
larly the political faith OF the candi-
date for governor. The late Governor
johnson never boasted of his friend
ship for northern Minnesota. He was
a friend OF no section, but he tried to
be the governor Of all the people.
When he was put to the test, he
showed beyond question that he was
the true friend Of the people Of this
section of the state. Outside OF poll
tics everyone. recognized this, but
when he was in the midst OF his cam
paisn for election, the people were
told by partisan newspapers that he
was the foe Of northern Minnesota.
Governor johnson. might not have
been the ''best friend" this section Of
the state ever had, but he was at
least as good friend as the best
friend. Neither he nor his political
associates were guilty OF resurrect-

THIS WEEKS THOUGHT.
Difficulties not surmounted by running
away from them, but by facing and meeting them.
Never mind deserters shirkers of their duty;
let us do ours.-Daniel Webster.
THE CLAYTON BILL.

Organized labor has a victory in the House Of
Representatives through the passage Of the Clayton
antitrust bill which carried amendment exempting
labor unions from persecution under the antitrust laws
The bill provides for close restrictions in the use Of
the injunction in labor disputes in that such njunctions
shall prohibit Strikes peaceful picketns peaceful
persuading Of persons work quit work, primary
boycotts the payment of strike benefits peaceful
semblage.
AS usual when such bills passed, individual
proceeds to show how labor has been duped This
done when Wisconsin passed it's compensation act, and
now, before the bill has had hearing before the
senate, told labor has and lost empty
victory and lost it's real fight because the bill passed
the House compromise phrase, which reads: LA
bor fraterna agricultural organizations
shall not be held construed to be illegal
in restraint of trade under the antitrust law"
Possibly we lack the lawyers which would
prove this act boomerang to organize labor.
Heretofore it has been customary for the courts to
seek for flaws in labor to declare laws
constitutional. Eight-hour bills at time labeled,
have since become statute laws. Likewise with child
labor bills, etc.
The bench is being perneated with this of So
cial reform, through blood the hand and
because of social demand the other.
1t is our opinion that the Clayton bill should it
come law will be held valid by the courts, If for
other reason than to protect themselves.

A MATTER OF PRINCIPLE


Young Mr.. Rockefeller repeats that the tnanten-
OF certain labor conditions Colorado "a mat
ter of principle which could concede or arb1-
trate."
To the teudal lords Of medieval Europe, says the
New York World, the attachment Of the serf to the
soil was legal right and matter Of principle.
In the pulpits in the south in 1850 property rights
in black slaves upheld by citation Scripture
and the Book of Common Prayer as a matter OF
principle t'.s'
In England it was long matter Of principle that
government should not restrict wonaan's tree rirht
to crawl on hands and knees through low mine tunnels
dragging carload Of coal by harness about her
waist
1t is matter of principle to capitalists that
parents shall be free to hire their children to work
long hours in shops.
That right OF combination and organization even
it forced upon the unwilling, which Mr. Rockefeller
would deny to werk1nsmen. is defended by the law
yers OF industrial monopoly matter of principle.
Mr. Rockefeller is correct in stating his "nnatter
OF principle. What he fails note is that matters
OF principle are ever perishing n the development Of
human institutions. No matter Of principle is biz
enough to stand out to the against public necessity
For that matter, public necessity ITSELF paramount
matter of principle.--san Francisco star.

ANARCHY IN BUTTE!

Western Federation of Miners at Butte, Mont. This

Butte about year ago and did all in their power to
hinder the administration in its work. This finally led
to their expulsion from the organization.
Now we have them in the role of "union smashers"
all because of alleged bleeding" of the miners for
the support of their striking brothers in the Michigan
copper district How vocerously this element calls for
other imagined wrongs from unions and Socialists
when they not permitted to lungs

strikers get of the good things life? Prepos-

Will awaken to the fact that it's greatest enemies are In
