NEW YORK, Oct: 5.-Frederick C.
Howe, commissioner Of Immigration in
charge at Ellis Island, New York, says
that immigration to the United States
after the war will depend on a variety.
of Influences. The central powers and
Russia are likely to forbid emigration
entirely. r.,
There, are, however" says he,
forces making for heavy immigration
from all countries Three hundred and
fifty million people have been upset
by the war. families have been broken
up. farms destroyed, business ruined.
Many will want to escape militarism
and the burdens of war. Many will be
inclined to seek the shores CT coun-
try free from war and not governed by
the aristocratic classes.
"All of this is, of course, somewhat
conjectured. If Europe turns to re-
construction and bends her energies
and makes sacrifices to put her people
to work and to make. life attractive,
immigration to this country may be
partially checked.
But, whatever happens in Europe,
the first year after the war, will, I
believe, see greater immigration to
this country than we have ever known
in our, history

A man wearing glasses and strong
of jaw, touched a BURGER on his desk.
A clerk entered and was handed some
manuscript. He left, ushering in two
men as he did so. =,
One Of the men who entered strobe
up and down before the man at the
desk. speaking enthusiastically. The
other man was silent. the man at
the desk shook Mis- head slowly and
silently. The two men left. After
they had gone the man al the desk
buried his face in his arms, leaning
on the desk. He arose, squared his
shoulders and left the room.
This man is President Woodrow
Woodrow Wilson. BY all great men
of the world, he is admitted to be a
cal ruin, he refused to consent to the
invasion of Mexico. He stood for
what was right and on good solid
principle remained neutral in the
European situation. He did not
bubble with himself or others He
acted like a man.
He forced Congress to i've the rail-
road men the eight-hour day, saying
as he signed the law that he believed
in the principle involved. It averted
a great crisis and saved thousands Of
dollars to the workers of the United
States, because if strike had been
called, prices would have scared
For all these things, Wall Street
and the corporations and big business
have said, you shall not be president
again. You have disobeyed lis. We
will show you that we and not the
people, boss this country
And Wall Street and big business
are busy now sending it's Roosevelts
and it's Tafts and it's Hughes all over
the country and with one aim and
that is to defeat Wilson.
Never sin the history Of our coun-
try, has so much money been COM
bined to defeat a president for re-elec-
ton. Wilson is not receiving a cent
from a source that is inimical to
labor. He says he will 20 before the
people on his record. If the people
appreciate a man he will be reelected
and if the working man will go to the
polls with a vision of the real America
before him, the next president will
be Woodrow Wilson.
And Wilson's record is the record
of one Of Gods noblemen and a man.
The editor Of this paper would
willingly die tomorrow if he could die
with such a record.
SONS OF TOLL! WHOSE COUN-
TRY is THIS! OURS OR WALL
STREETS? .''.5 to-.
The principles involved in the
presidential election this year, arc the
same principles that were involved in
the presidential election in the early
part Of the last century VIII cn Andrew
Jackson ran against Martin Van
Buren,. Jackson stood for the masses
and Van Buren, stood for the So
called upper classes and predatory in
terests. Jackson won.
ARE YOU, MR.. AVERAGE MAN,
GOING TO ALLOW THE VAN BUR-
EMS OF TODAY, TO WIN THIS
TIME?
Wilson's support must come from
the folks like you and me. He needs
money for campaign expenses If you
can spare five cents or ten cents or
twenty-five cents or a dollar, send it
to the Wilson Fund, care of the editor

AN OPEN LETTER

NeWs-Tribune,
Duluth, MINI.

Duluth, Mimi.
Gentlemen:
Our Lodge has instructed us to
write you for an answer editorially,
through the columns of your paper to
the following questions: You have
roasted the government very thor
oughly, and found fault with the Rail-
road Brotherhoods over the Eight
Hour day, why do you pass over the
fact that the railroads have boldly an
nounced that they are going to .disobey
the law, thereby substituting anarchy
for law-observance?
Do you know that the Brotherhoods
postponed the date of the strike
nearly a month and gave up half their
demands at the suggestion of the
President in order to do all in their
power to help bring about settle
ment?
Considering the stand you have
taken in these matters do you consider
your paper worthy of the support of
union labor? Union men of the North
west will be interested in your reply
to this.
Yours truly,
Nemadji Lodge No. 81,
B. of L. r. & E.
President, G. Stevens.
Secretary, r.. Kreide.

/: GOLDEN STATE


SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 5.-single
tax is taking hold in California to
the extent of causing responsible Of
ficials and leading men and women
to look the land question squarely
! in the face, according to reports Of
two state commissions just sumbit-
ted.
+ Remedies.
The state tax commission, in max
ing a preliminary report Of. the re-
suits of its investigations, proposes as
remedy for the land problems: An
additional, or excess, tax on increased
land value as follows: maximum ex-
cess tax on the future increase in
value of all unimproved land or land
not put to any beneficial use: lesser
rate of tax in the case of land inn
proved or being put to beneficial use;
the exemption from such tax for each
individual of a reasonable holding of
improved or beneficially used land.
Use for Schools.
The money collected from this
source, it is proposed, should be kept
in a permanent fund to be invested in
securities issued for the building of
roads AMI other similar public i'm
provements; the development of rec
lamation or irrigation districts; tor
rural credits, or in any other way
that would bring about an. increase
in social value which would in turn
be returned to the fund. Interest
collected from the investments and
loans of the fund should be used i'll
the support Of public schools or other
general governmental purposes, it is
proposed.
Home Rule in Taxation.
A campaign by the California,
League for Home Rule in Taxation,
which calls for constitutional
amendment permitting any county,
city, or town, to raise it's revenues
for local purposes by a tax on the
value of land, exempting improve
ments, is being carried on throughout
the state. Signatures for an initia-
tive petition are being obtained. This
measure will be put before the peo..
pie at a special election in the spring.
The single tax situation in. the state
| has recently become somewhat con-
fused in the public thought by the
fact that what purports to be a
straight single tax measure appears
| on the ballot for the November cleo
ton. Single takers and anti-single
| takers are working side by side to
defeat the measure.
Oppose Land Tax Move.
This measure is a proposed consti-
tutional amendment calling for the
raising of all public revenue by the
| taxation of land values exclusive. of
improvements. The measure is OBJ
jected to by single takers on the
ground that it is so loosely drawn
that it would be wholly unavoidable
and therefore bring great discredit
upon the cause.

MESABA RANGE MINERS
ASK A. F. OF L. HELP

Letters have been received by the
Labor World and by officers Of the
State Federation of Labor from min
ers on the Mesaba Range asking that
an American Federation of Labor Or
ganizer be sent there to prepare for a
strike organization. =.
Contrary to reports published. in
Duluth daily newspapers alleging that
the miners are satisfied, these letters
show that although the l." w: w.
failed to win the strike, the miners
have gained courage from their recent
experience and are far from satisfied
with present conditions.

BUSINESS prospects
GOOD, SAYS BANK

Business conditions of Duluth are
good and will continue to be so for
many months. according to the state
-ment of trade forecast issued by the
City National bank for October. If
the business man will watch condi-
tons in few lines and the supply of
freight cars, it would seem that the
greater majority Of business men in
this community will enjoy a period
of prosperity for many months, says
the forecast. The wheat crop is lare-
er than it was last year and far above
the average crops, continues the re-
port.

Wet forces Of Duluth are going
to pull a special election here in the
latter part of Decem Der or early part
Of January and revive the wet and
dry issue. Thev claim that the re-
cent defeat Of the tax levy amend
n1en1 is proof Of the change of opin-
ion Of Dulut'lianS.
Those in charge Of the campaign
are getting up Il petition asking that
the people vote on a proposed ordi-
nance, limiting the number of saloons
to 100 and making a saloon license Of
$1,000. Signatures of 20 per cent OF
the number of voters registered at
the last elec ton are necessary to call

A MANS PRAYER.

Let me live, Oh Mighty Master,
Such a life as men should know,
Tasting triumph and disaster,
Joy-and not too much of woe;
Let me run the gamut over, ..
Let me Fight and Love and Laugh.
And when I'm b-neath the clover
Let this be my epitaph:
"Here lies one who took his chances
In the busy world Of men.
Battled Luck and Circumstances,
Fought ana fell, and fought again:
Won sometimes, but did no GROWING:
Lost sometimes, but didn't wall,
Took his beating, but kept going,
Never let his courage fail.
"He was fallible and human,
Therefore loved and understood
Both his Fellowmen and Women,
Whether good-or not SO good;
Kept his Spirit undiminished,
Never lay down on Friend,
Played the Game till it was finished,
Lived a. Sportsman to the end" q

A CHILD.
Her voice was like the song of birds;
Her eyes were like the stars:
Her little waving hands were like
Birds wings that beat the bars.
And when those waving hands were
still
Her soul had fed away

The color from the day.
