Paris.-The Eclair states that all
the Carthusian monks of military age
who were expelled from France at the
time that the law restricting. re-
ligious associations was adopted have
returned to the barracks at Grenoble
and exchanged the white habit of the
Order Of st. Bruno for the uniform of
the French soldier. They were given
an enthusiastic reception by the popu-
alton Of Grenobls.

.er is there any artificial barrier to
check their usefulness, growth and de-
velopment. The scope of a trade
union, as constituted at present, en-
braces many valuable features.
'It is protective organization. 1t
raises wages and prevents reduction;
1t equalizes wages for equal work per-
formed; 1t endeavors to secure liv-
ing to ali; it establishes a minimum
wage for common work; it restricts
cut-throat and unfair competition.
ut is fraternal association. 1t
Sympathizes with the sick and the
afflicted and the unemployed by the
payment of stipulated benefits; in
cases of distress the help is Of
substantial nature.
ut is an insurance society. The OPP
erative insurance in cases Of death
and total disability is superior and
less costly than the rates charged by
the ordinary insurance company; it is

1T is a savings bank. The trade
union enables the worker to deposit
weekly small sums of money in the
shape Of dues and assessments, which
are returned to him when most need
ed.
1T Is legislative body. 1t plans,
adopts and amends a constitution and
bylaws without any interference and
advice from outside parties. There Is
no conflict of interest of any appreci.
able extent; local differences can be
adjusted in the interest of the gen.
eral welfare, viewed from a broad
standpoint.
1T Is a direct legislative league
The initiative and the referendum,
which are the cardinal features in the
structure Of the constitution, enable
a small number of unions to propose
amendments and substitutes. They
are submitted to a referendum vote,
with or without any discussion, as the
case may be, and approved or reject
ed. This form of legislation is sim
pie, direct and effective
ut Is school of economics. The
Manchester school of political econ
omy, from Adam Smith to the present
day, has evolved school of doctrines
and critics Of all shades and colors
Numerous books have been issued on
the functions Of capital, the value of
labor, the rate of wages and profits,
the laws of supply and demand, of
exchange, finance, etc. The trade
union has, in the attempt to improve
the condition of the workers, exposed
their economic fallacies. 1t Is devel-

numbers. few for these days. but i'm.
posing then, so aroused the feelings
Of Price that he leaned over to the
rest Of US and, addressing Richard
Griffith in particular. exclaimed:
This is Labor day. Uncle Dick!
Labor day now and hereafter
That moment have always consid-
cred to be the instant when Labor
day was born. The incident, trivial
in itself, was the nucleus of many a
conference. Each of us worked to the
end of having a particular day set
apart by law devoted to the consider
alton and interests of the laboring
classes"
But 1t was not achieved immediate
ly. Each year more and more lodges
in more and more cities of the coun-
try fell into line with the suggestion
and set apart day. There was no &C
ton taken by the states. Indeed, the
movement for a Labor day had
reached continent-wide proportions be-
fore 1t was even preached, with any
result, in the legislatures Of the va
rious states.
TypicaIIy American Idea.
But the genius of the American peo-
pie was behind the idea. Oliver Wen
dell Holmes, greatest of genial phil
osophers, in speaking of the Unborn
desire Of the American people to per-
petuate some idea that is dear to them
by the dedication Of a special day to
it, says somewhere that If party Of
Americans were shipwrecked upon a
desert island the first thing they
would do would be to hold a meeting
and organize. Their proceedings they
would then ratify In formal banquet,
even though they Toasted on nothing
but raw crawfish, and they would con.
clude the whole thing by setting apart
that day as hereafter to be annually
kept holy in memory of their adven-
ture.
And so, in keeping with this Ameri-
can spirit, the leaders of labor, backed
by their followers, more and more
spread the propaganda of Labor day;
each year they held their day holy
demonstrating the faith that was in
them by a parade Of all the crafts

Finnish Society Growing Aims Of the

League are holding meetings week.
ly and the membership is growing.
The people of this nationality have
become thoroughly disgusted with
the manner in which several high
handed agitators have discredited
the people of Finland in the eyes
of employing capital. The League
is a spontaneous outpouring of pro-
test of all the Lake Superior min
ing districts and Ely was among
the first to get in on the game.
The Michigan Copper districts,
after the strike of this year, were
thoroughly demoralized and the
nti-Socialist League was the re-
suit. The Finnish people of Ely
at once got into the movement and
a membership of $50 was secured.
Article 2 of the Constitution has
the following:
The purpose of this League is
to uphold and protect the honor
and reputation of the Firms through
the law ond order abiding citizens,
and also to assist such of them as
wish to become naturalized. 1t is
the strong desire of the League to
check and counterfeit the Socialistic
tendency of our nationality, which
manifests itself in a disregard of
national honor, morality and relig
ION, and of the laws of the country,
and thus brings us into disrepute
with those among whom we live.
The application for membership
is easily filled out and reads as
follows: I, the undersigned,
hereby apply for membership in
the local Anti-Socialist League,
and pledge myself to follow the
rules of this association, and will,
to the best of my ability, fulfill the
duties devolving on me as a men,

The cry raised that our children

credit upon us males brutes, be-
cause, if we didn't have so much

Also, the unknown writer says,
that card-playing is bad example

Agriculture will be department
by itself, if the plans are adopted
which the efficiency commission has
prepared.
1t is not only the Importance of
agriculture as the greatest indus
try of the state. For that matter
health or labor may be deemed as
important as agriculture. 1t is not
only its importance but the fact
that there are several bureaus re-
lating to agriculture which may be
brought together here, justifying,
if not making actually necessary
the appointment of director to
have general oversight of them all
and to maintain cooperation be-
tween them.
One of the most valuable activi-
ties of the state is dairying by the
state itself. That has been tied up
with the food inspection heretofore.
The combination worked very well
but took the commissioner into two
fields and kept him looking in two
directions at the same time. There
is another department in the eff
cheney commission plan which
will look after commodities in the
market place. leaving the dairy
commissioner free to devote his
entire energy to the great agricul-
tural interest.
The state has heretofore called
on the university to do quite bit of
police work. No particular harm
has come from it so far but it is not
a good arrangement. When there
is a department of agriculture such
matters as nursery inspection, and
seed inspection, properly go to the
department. The state has board
of health for animals called the
live stock sanitary board. The de-
partment of agriculture will natur-
ally take that over.
The state has the most success

hundred thousand dollars year in
promoting county fairs. The de-
partment of agriculture ought to
relieve the state agricultural society
OF the routine of the fair manage
ment, altogether too great burden
for volunteer body. The agri-
cultural society is congregation
of enthusiasm and it is hoped it
will bring to the fair every year as
great a degree of enthusiasm as in
the past.
AS for the state aid to county
societies, the department should be
able to make it much more effec-
tive. 1t is said that it has not al
ways been spent to the best advan-
tage heretofore. About all the
state has known about this state aid
is that the money has been spent
as shown by afhdavits on file with
the state auditor. The department
will know what it is spent for and
can make suggestions for getting
the best results If the money is
not spent to the best advantage, the
department will be very apt to dis
courage appropriations.
An advisory board is provided
for this department. There are
certain matters of animal quaran-
tine that call for regulations to be
adopted by such a board. In adj
vising as to state aid for agricultur-
al societies, this board can give a
great deal of help. Voluntary as
sociations like the breeders, and
the wool growers, and the bee
keepers, will naturally cooperate
with this department.
And naturally the department of
agriculture and the agricultural
college will be very closely related.
The division of duties will work
itself out. The basis will always
be that the university will do in
vestigation, research and lot of
digestive work. The department
will do police work, collect facts
and apply them.

Reports of the New Jersey econ
Omy and efficiency commission
have been received.
New Jersey has nothing on
Minnesota, except some complex
tiles peculiar to the coast. For in
stance, a mosquito determination
commission; also state oyster
commission, an Ocean county
oyster commission, an Atlantic
county oyster commission, Shark
River oyster and clam commits
sion, and bureau of shell fisher
les which has nothing to do with
any of them.
In one respect Jersey is better
off than Minnesota. They say the
way the state is creating new COM
missions for this and that and
spending money for anything un-
der heaven, if they don't look out
first thing they know they will
have to levy a state tax. Just
think of that. They are threatened
with the necessity of charging
part of the expense of the state
government directly to the tax
payers.
AS to many features the New
Jersey students Of the subject
and they have been at it two
years out in exactly the
same place as the Minnesota COM
mission. The Minnesota commits
sion is made of volunteers named
by the governor, paying their own
expenses; the Jersey commission
is made by the legislature, two
from the senate, two from the
house and three appointed by the
governor, with an appropriation
for expenses.
They recommend almost exact
ly the same thing as the Minneso-
ia commission as to boards. Ex-
ecutive boards wont do. Boards
are useful to make regulations
and rules. The proper method is
to have an executive officer who
is charged to enforce the law and
the regulations of his board, and
board with no control over him
except through regulations affect
ing the public. That is the New
Jersey recommendation, also the
minnesota recommendation
