Is Confident,

With only two days left 20 cam
paign in the several aspirants for
commissionerships are putting in their
best licks at public meetings. Charges
and counter charges with challenges
to prove various assertions have been
typical in this campaign as in others.
Feeling is tense in some quarters
lest the city shall drift back into the
old open town" policy with it's open
violation of laws and the fragrant
Haunting of vice and lewdness in the
face Of the people. Threats are be-
ing made that should this condition
arise Duluth will face a no-license
campaign.
"Bert'' Farrell, who made a
sion election, is "instructing'' the
ballot. Mr.. Farrell and His many
friends feel that he was legitimately
elected in the last election and pro-
poses to avoid any possibility Of be-
ing defeated this time by fuke or
on p technicality.
Commissioners Hicken and Murchi-
son are standing on their records as
commissioners for the past two years
and ask the people to support them
on this alone. Supporters of the two
commissioners are urging that they
be elected in order to keep Duluth
clean"
Bernard Silberstein is also making
an aggressive campaign and scouts
the several charges that he is the can
didate Of the wide open interests
and challenges the opposition to point
out any 'blot on his record"
/ It is expected that Evens and
Bernard will run strong. Mr.. Evens
is particularly favorite among a
large number Of working men and
should draw a large vote from this
quarter. -
Both Mr.. Evens and Hon, W. L.
Bernard were active in the municipal

was prominent "agitator" for a

The attitude OF the military author

ance. Il It has been shown that al
most without exception when the
workers have complainant that they
were unusally badly paid or that tho
wages bore no proportion to the prices
paid by the military authorities, the
demands OF the workers have been
met. - :, Often employers have been
warned that II they did not change

duced, which would contfol also the
distribution of existing supplies, and
fso protect us before an immoderate
and inconsiderate appropriation.
We are eating a war bread eKriegs-
brot), which contains q. rough rye
flour, and which has about ten per
cent addition of potato, flour. The
German population is accustomed to
rye bread, and thus 1t is no great i'm
! position; on the contrary 1t may be
accepted that the regulation will be
borne with the greatest ease and with
out complaint. The present distribu-
ton Of 2 Kilograms of bread per week
for each member of a family, implies
! that other kinds Of food can be OBJ
tanned. x;
The further regulations sof various
kinds would take up too much space
to describe here. It will suffice per-
haps to indicate that precautions have
been taken to secure the necessary
food supplies, and that all available
land has been brought under cultiva-
tion for early vegetables and potatoes.

= We have read with much pleasure
the reports Of the foreign press as to
the supposed inner political conditions
of Germany at the beginning Of the
war. At the onset we were cut off
from other countries and could not
get information as to proceedings in
neighboring lands. But such a dread
full picture of conditions abroad have
not appeared in our press as unfort-
unately, Is recorded of us in the for
elgn papers. It is therefore worth
while to take a survey of what hap
pened in Germany Immediately after
the war, and also of what is being
done at present.

momentous significance for the issue
of the conflict.
Things are not, however SO a.tl-
favorable in Germany as is accepted
In England. Our agriculture is ad-
mitedly more effective than the Eng
1ish. We have at present. according
TO our trade balance, a surplus of rye,
which was formerly for consider
able part exported. On the other
hand there is a. dearth of wheat to
be indicated, which can, be covered
though by the surplus Of rye. In ad-
dition we, have other means; in the
worst case we can fall back on the
tatoes.
Regulations with this end in view
have been under consideration from
the beginning, and have been carried
out with even greater determination.
The intention Is to so distribute the
existing provisions that the popula-
ton, and above all the army, may
have the necessary quantities at tnei,
disposal, SO far as this by human call
culation can be achieved. Germany's
large cattle production must also not
be forgotten. We cannot at present
say how the provisions Of the Govern
ment, which sare being made with

combat these tendencies. It had to

eleven O'Clock Friday morning, but it
was 1870 p. m. before the vote was
taken on its, final passage For two
hours and 2. half the senate fought
over the amendments, proposed by
Senator Jones of Duluth but rejected
all but one. The first amendment
proposed by the conference, known
as Section SA, and which provided
that farmer employers and employers
Of domestic servants would be per-
mitted to come under the law should
they elect to do 50, was rejected to do
so, was rejected after considerable dis

districts looked at this provision with

Senator John W., Pauly, the chair
man Of the senate committee explain
ed that this was included owing to
the fact that several rural employers
had written the bureau Of labor re-
questing to- come under, the provisions
Of the law and that this new provision
would not compel them to do so, but
was elective only. f. w..
During the discussion on this point
Jones read from Section II of. the
present law where it prOvides that all
contracts Of employment made after
the taking effect of; the act shall be
presumed to- have been made with
reference and subject to it's provisions,
and that every employer and his en-
ploye is presumed to have accepted
the provisions ofs the law unless notice
is4filed Within the time specified under
the law. Jones claimed thatsth two
