BRING ON YOUR BILLY SUNDAY;

Billy Sunday has been carrying revival through

Reverend Sunday in writing religious ideas said that
there is Idea of religion which has produced
whose private lives good but whose public lives
very bad ~ - T.. - ("

daughter would be safe in your hands, but
who will every year drive hundreds of virtue

included in the Milwaukee but not published
by the paper This charge of is not necessarily
true. This idea of religion produces who while

We don't like Billys theology particularly and we
have privately said things derogatory nature

be governed by a commission of five When the
council was abolished and the commission stepped in
1t not expected and certainly not desired, that
each department should be though it sep
arate from the rest of the city Voters of
Duluth will expect the commissioners to oppose
further attempts to violate the principles of commits
sion government.
The charge made previous to election and pre-
dictons going the rounds in quarters
that Duluth will be wide open" again We do
not with such predictions. The successful
didates have pledged themselves properly enforce
the law. They have said that they do not believe in
segregation, They have Duluth under wide
open regime and have compared it with Duluth under
law enforcement, and observation has shown them
folly of running wide open"
Duluth will tolerate loosely governed city,
Any attempts to the doors of Duluth the vile
element in society will lead greater strife and tur-
MOL than Duluth has ever experienced.
We do not believe that the election indicates that
the citizens of Duluth opposed decency although
it may be true that the so-called liberal" element
favored the election of Slberstein Farerl If the
liberals hope through the election of these two men
to openly violate the laws of the and the ord

IN COLORADO
Legislature Passes Laws Equal
: Only to Edicts of Absolute
Monarchy. !,

SAN FRANCISCO. April ss.-In
commenting on the actions of what
1t terms 'Colorado's Obedient Legis-
lature," the Bulletin Of this city says:
"Some day there will be another
coal miners strike in Colorado. The
bower house Of the legislature Of that
state; which passed the bill to abolish
Judge Lindsey'a Juvenile court, has
been grinding sut' laws to make 1t
easy for the mine owners. to stamp
out this strike when it comes. One
law makes it illegal to make speech
or publish a newspaper article tend
ing to incite riot form of words
certain to be used by any bought
judge to suppress any utterances,
however peaceable, . that are I'M
friendly to the dominant powers.
Mtlitiaman Sacred.
Another law makes it felony to
attack a member. of the national
guard, which means that it will be
q felony to resist one, no matter what
he does. Colorado'sI national guard,
during the recent troubles, included
professional gun men, in the pay of
the mine owners, and they created
a situation in which the miners had
to choose between resisting or being
deprived Of all their civil rights, be-
ing driven out, being beaten and even
being murdered. II
Prepare For Dictator.
"A third law erects the smallpox
tato militia officer into a power in
the land by making. it a misdemeanor
to refuse to obey his orders. Last year
one officer in the Colorado militia
struck an unarmed and defenseless
prisoner over the head with the butt
of a musket and killed him; and such
men will represent law in the coal
fields If this bill becomes statute.
Mot; reading between the lines of
the, short dispatch describing these
acts of a stupid, bringing legislature,
one might be led to believe that Colo
RADIO was trying to redeem herself
from the curse of. violence. No I'm.
preston could be more false. Every
citizen Of Colorado must know that
such laws merely give one set of men
power to use violence against another
set. 1t. is rank class legislation,
though, like most class legislation
that is really dangerous, it., does not
come within the range of the consti-
tutional prohibitions. :.
I'VE shall see more history made in
that state; and the best that can be
hoped is that it will not be bloody
like the history of the past year, but
instead an irresistible up-swelling OF
a determined people, resolved to gov.
ern themselves, and to have justice
and to have peace.,' >~.
