ture of the session of 1909, he stated
ir1ubstance:
MY opponent in a vain effort to
stem the tide of sentiment running Sc
strongly in the Ninth Congressional
District, has sought to appeal to for
mer factionalism in the democratic
party and to resurrect that condition
that made possible the election of a
republican governor in Tennessee.
My record in the senate of the ses-
sions of 1907 and 1909 is legitimate
matter for discussion. The people of

CARRANZA AND VILLA.

A great many people who love peace
seem to think that the situation in
Mexico is quoting down and that il
will be but few weeks before the
troops will be withdrawn from the
border.
1t is one thing to think, but quite
another to realize upon those expec-
tations.
Let US look at the facts as they ex-
list.
All Mexicans hate the United States,
Carranza and Villa included.
Carranza is being good" just now
because he wants to borrow money in
this country and knows he cannot do
so if he is at war with us Once he
gets the money, he is then free to
turn his guns on US again.
Villa hates US with an enmity that
IS undying in its intensity. He is with
out scruples and has sworn to kill ev-
cry American who crosses his path.
he is collecting another large army
and is defeating the Carranza forces
wherever they are encountered. while
many of the latter are flocking to the
Villa standard.

UNIVERSAL MILITARY

Whether rejecting the predominant

congress is turning strongly toward
the policy of universal and obligatory
military training as an absolute ne
cessity in the general scheme for adj
equate preparedness of the United
States against war. And outspoken
now in favor Of this policy are lead
ers in the democratic party, which con-
trolls both the senate and the house.
As the author of the bill to provide
such training, Senator George F.
Chamberlain of Oregon, chairman of
the committee on military affairs, en-
phasizes the fact that there is a wide
distinction between universal military

Furthermore, he believes that this

that it should be enforced upon all

Senator Chamberlain, "does not in

age it. On the contrary, it is an anti

for the enlistment, of 10000 volunteers
for possible usegon the southern bors
der. Efforts have been made to secure
recruits at all the recruiting stations
in the United States, with the result
that not half of the proposed increase
has been raised.
What lesson is to be drawn from
this failure to secure volunteers at a
time when trouble with Mexico SEEM
ed imminent? Clearly, if the Ameri-
can people are to learn anything from
this, it is that we must look to train
ed citizen soldiery for the nations de-
tense in time of war. In the last anal |
ysis, this nation must look to a uni

in any national emergency.
aside from the question of the Gre
alton OF a reserve, compulsory military
training will have a most salutary
effect upon the young men, in that it
will develop them physically, even
against their will, at time in their
lives when physical development is
most essential. 1t will teach them
respect for law and order, a most es-
sential lesson to be learned by Ameri-
can youth. 1t will instill lessons of

DR.. GRAHAM OFFERS
TO ASSIST SOCIETY
BY DIR. ALEXANDER GRAHAM,
500 Columbia Building, Duluth.


500 Columbia Building, Duluth.
The News Tribune Wednesday
morning announced that Duluth was
to have free medical dispensary I'M
der the auspices of the Women's
Home Missionary society. The dis
pensary is to be located at 405 East
Third street, with one trained nurse
and three physicians in charge.
While this is a noble and worthy
undertaking, to. the writer it would
seem-from personal experience and
general observation-that the eff
cheney Of such plan could be greatly
improved.
That there are certain enumerated
ably to medical treatment is a we'll
established fact; that thousands of
individuals have been restored to
health and the enjoyment of life after
they had signally failed to obtain re-
lief from medical treatment is also a
fact. In view Of this state Of affairs,
why not give the sick a square d~al-
even If it is charity?
If the Women's Home Missionary
society will investigate the results at
tanned by chiropractic in alleviating
human suffering. am convinced that
they would accept the services of a
chiropractor who would be willing to
devote part of his time to treating
charity patients.
The writer is offering his services
to cooperate with the Women's
Home Missionary society in treating
such cases that come within the do
main of his profession, and to do so
to such an extent as his private prac-
tice will permit
believe that upon investigation,
the above society will find that my
suggestion would materially add to
the efficacy of their humanitarian
plan in giving to charity something
worth while.

Lillian D. Valid Tells Conference
Same Abuses Follow Develop
1nent Of the Industries.

ASHEVILLE, N. c., Feb 10.-"The
national child labor committee acts
as a clearing house for; information on
child labor" said Lillian d. VALID of
the Henry Street settlement, New
York, in an address delivered: before
the twelfth annual conference" on
child labor. 81
1T follows the problem all over the
country. from the cranberry boys of
New Jersey; tenements' Of New York
to the beet fields OF Colorado: from
the cotton mills of North Carolina to
the streets of Connecticut. There is
hardly form of child labor that the
committee has not Investigated, and it
has found that the same abuses ap:
pear in state after state as the in
dustries develop.
Tenement homework has long been
common in New York, but a. recent
investigation discloses the fact that it
is spreading into New Jersey. Chill
dren Z or years old were found in
Newark carding buttons for IS u hours
a day at cents gross. Ten other
varieties of industry flourish in New
ark's tenements.
1T might be expected that the
shocking conditions in New York can
neries disclosed three years ago would
have convinced some Of the states that
all special exemptions from the pro-
visions of the child labor law should
be abolished. Instead Of that, Ten
nessee, which has a fairly good child
labor law, weakened it last year by
adding cannery exemption clause.
"All this simply goes to show. how
eternally vigilant we must be in
safeguarding our children, and how
vital the work of the national child
labor committee is to the welfare Of
the nation as a WHOLE

WITH UNDERTAKES
Local Delegate Declares Men Are
Given Higher Wages for
Purpose.

Arthur: Boose, Duluth delegate Of
the I. w. W., is still claiming that
organizing work is proceeding among
the lumber jacks. He holds that the
increase in wages granted was given
for the purpose of heading off an
I. w. ". strike.
Mr.. Boose is red hot under the
collar over the treatment said to have
been accorded to a. lumber jack
named Maxine. He states that Mr.
Maxine came to Duluth from the
camp Of the Cloquet Lumber COM
pany, 20 miles from here. 'He got
fired and stung right" declares
Boose. This camp is said to be
coming, one going and one working.
''The employment office that hires
the men gets $1.00 from every man.
A local livery barn proprietor gets
$3.50 for taking each man out to
camp. When the men get fired or
quit they are charged $1.00 to get
back in the same rig they paid $3.50
to get cut in. This, in connection
with the hospital ticket graft and
pay for mail service takes a good
share of the lumberjack's wages"
Mr.. Bose maintains that the only
way to DC away with this graft is for
the lumberjacks to organize under
the banner Of the I. w. w. 1t is
about the only labor organization
that seems to take sufficient inter-
est in the welfare Of the men who
work in the woods.

SUPERIOR GROCERY
CLERKS JOIN UNION
Renewed Activity Among Sales
men-All Clerks to Be
Organized.

An effort was made this week to
organize the grocery clerks of SUI
perior. A. meeting was held Tues
day evening under the auspices of
the organization committee of the
Superior Trades and Labor Assembly
consisting of C. w. Swanson, J. T.
Clemens, o. F. Eick and Alex La
Rock.
Rather than establish a second To-
cal branch of the Retail Clerks Pro-
tective Association of Superior the
grocery clerks decided to affiliate
with the present clerks union. At
present time the clerks union con-
sists almost entirely of clothing store
employees, but under the proposed
scheme it will take in all clerks.
Later, if the union grows suffi-
GENTLY large, it will divide into units
for the different classes Of stores rep
resented. Arrangements for the in
clusion Of the grocery clerks into the
present clerks union will be made
at it's next meeting.
Steps to take in the drug clerks
will be taken shortly.

that the Ohio. compensation law g

ing directly and specifically the state
insurance feature. And. as there is
an extensive demand for this feature
in Minnesota, that law ought to-,
and doubtless will, receive great
deal Of consideration in the discus
sions, and it is earnestly hoped these
will be us thorough and complete as
they can be made.
It is claimed by many men in the
legal profession in Minnesota that
the constitution of the state would
haverro be amended to authorize tho
legislature to- enact a state insur-
ance law. Secretary Lawson will
have at the meetings the opinion of
one of the best lawyers in St. Paul
on this phase Of the question, and
there will doubtless be other ex-
pressions of opinion on it, as the
meetings will be open to everybody
who chooses to attend them, as all
meetings of the executive council
and the State Federation of Labor
are; and all who are interested in
the subjects to be discussed are cor
daily invited to attend them and
take part in the discussions.

TORONTO, Ont, Feb. 10.-The con-

ton into any sympathetic strike of a

Trade, unionists point out that as
the American Federation Of Labor
grants complete autonomy to its at
flliates on all matters referred to in
the bricklayers' Instructions to their
executive board, there can be no rea-
son why this international cannot i'm
mediately join with the great family
