Calumet, Mich. March -. 1914,

a. Finnish daily newspaper now
published in Duluth. Mr. Larson urges
the Firms OF the copper country To go
back 10 work, for which article the
nom Socialist Firms az the copper
country are very thankful indeed. and
are glad that Mr.. Larson at last real
lies that his stand on the strike dur
ing tho past several months has been
absolutely wrong. and that he is now
ready to advise in the right direction

Here Is Good News
 for Stomach Victims

Some very rema rkable results are being obtained by treating stomach, liver and intestinal troubles with pure vegetable oils, which exert cleansing, soothing and purifying action upon the lower bowels, removing the obstructions of poisonous fecal matter and gases and preventing their absorption by the blood This done, the food is allowed free pas sage from the stomach, fermentation ceases and stomach troubles quickly dis appear.
 George H. Mayr, for twenty years 3 leading Chicago druggist, cured himself and many of his friends of stomach, liver and intestinal troubles of years standing by this treatment, and so suc- cessful was the remedy he devised that it has since been placed in the hands of druggists all over the country, who have sold thousands of bottles.
 Though absolutely harmless, the ef- feet of the medicine is sufficient to con- vince any one of its remarkable effect iveness, and within 24 hours the sufferer feels like new person. Mayr's Won derful Stc-7ch Remedy is now sold here by Ryker-Hegeman Go.

 Declaration By King.
 The minutes concluded with the following declaration by the king: / "On the solution of this question, so vital for this nation, depends the possibility of preserving our liberty and independence and defending our neutrality
 The proposals do not differ greatly from the program of the liberals. The socialists, however, are not only de- rnanding reduction of expenditures for army and navy, but have definite ly decided to make the establishmen ent of a republic a plank in their plat form. The conservatives are draw ing the person of the king into their contest and the fight is plainly be- tween the crown, represented by them, and the other two parties.
 Socialist assertions that King Gus tave assumed powers not granted by ' the constitution, have drawn iron. him the following declaration:
 "I declare that every desire and effort in the direction of personal regal power has been, is, and will be, alien to me. I have hitherto per- formed my royal duties in accord ance with the order and spirit of the fundamental law and in fidelity to my device: With the people for the fa- therland.'

NEW PARLIAMENT NOW
 ASSURED IN SWEDEN
Fear (f Russa) Aggression De- mands Stronger National Defense.

Stockholm, April 10-.The election of a new Swedish parliament is in full swing with a tremendous wave of popular clamor for a stronger na- tional defense aroused by fears of Russian aggression Two parties conservatives and liberals-make this the dominant issue of the campaign but beneath this Is a question deemed by socialists as even more pregnant with immediate consequences than the possibility of invasion. It is de- clared in some quarters that the King S crown is at stake.
 The point is that while the demand for stronger national defense has stirred the whole nation, some classes are apparently still more concerned in defending themselves against an excessive exercise of power by their King Gustave V.
 King Stands Firm
 The crisis on this point was brought about by the Kings speech to a throng of 3O,OOO peasants who gath cred in Stockholm from all parts of the country on February 6 as a dem onstration in favor of increased ar- maments. The King told the peas ants that the problem of defense was one which must be solved without loss of time, and on that point he would not yield.
 The Kings speech was made in the face of warnings from the Grown Prince and Prince Charles, and, in deed, from a number of conservative and liberal party leaders. The Queen and some of the Kings personal friends, however, advised His Majesty to make the speech as originally sdrawn up, and their counsels pre- vailed.
 The ministers forthwith resigned. They contended that as a constitution al monarch the King should not make political speeches without ascertain ing if the cabinet approved of them. The King replied: 1T cannot agree to this; I will not deprive myself of the right to speak without restraint to the Swedish people,
 Dr. Knut Hammarskjoeld was in- vited to form new cabinet with him. self as premier and minister of war, but as his adherents were in the min- ority in the second chamber there was no chance of the defence bill be- coming law.
 Parliament Was Dissolved. Parliament therefore was dissolved, and the issue placed before the peo- pie. The result is that the whole country is torn with the question of militarism and the constitutionalism. The Riksdag, just dissolved, con- sisted of 101 liberals, sixty-f1ve con- servatives and sixty-four social demo- crats. .,.
 | The defense proposals upon which the king and his cabinet will ask the support of the voters are, according to minutes of the cabinet meeting as follows: .E
