have followed regular potato club
rules and reports. Any Iron county

CANTONMENTs TIE UP CARS.

How great is this war demand on
the resources OF the railroads does
not begin to be realized by the pub
lie. IL takes more than $500 freight
cars a day to carry supplies to the
sixteen cantonments of the national
army alone. Then the government Is
going into ship-building on vast
scale. II is building steel mills, great
gun factories. huge plants for the
manufacture OF airplanes. All these
enterprises require constantly in

HOW THE OTHERS SAVE SUGAR.
Most OF us Americans are shocked

we must practice enforced self-denial

cut the allowance very much lower

household OF this country and still be
more lavish in our sugar consumption

are.

lowed an increase of As cents per ton

ed coal miners. As result coal
prices throughout the nation we're
increased 45 cents last Thursday The
retailer was allowed TO add on the IS

II makes little difference with Crys-

coal to be had at the new prices any
way, all mines having been kept busy
filling old contracts so no coal at the

public oftener than any public man we
know OF Clark's humiliating episode
at Detroit few years ago has hardly
died away i'm the minds of Michigan
people when he put himself wrong on
the war. Now Champ comes up again
for a burlesque and he played true to
his role down in Oklahoma the other
day, when, In a speech he poured OUT
denunciation against the business in
terests of the north, especially Wall
Street, only TO be made eat his words
and acknowledge that he lied. Mr.
Clark said that financiers OF the North
were opposing the Liberty loan. The
fnanciers came through in a manner
that certainly shows up the southern
part OF the country in a very poor
light. In addition. some OF the promi-

Mr. Clark and made him publicly ad :

history OF the days OF lS6l-62 and
who remember the shifts and turns
made by our government after the
real storm broke. wonder II 1918 will
bring similar conditions.
Following the attack upon Sumpter
there was a general swarming to the
colors in the North. The home guards
were marshaled; volunteers for 90
days were gathered in and there was
regular gala day time OF 1t prepar-
atory TO the intended march upon
Richmond The government at Wash
ington was in great favor. everything
was harmonious War contracts
were let with regularity and business
went on with a whoop.
Then came Bull Run and the awak-
ening. With the awakening went the
heads OF most OF those in high places.
Not only was there an initial crop OF
heads in the basket but the crop kept
on growing and II was only when the
people got down to the real grim
business of war that stability was
brought about and success attained
II Is true that we are missing many
OF the snares that tripped us up then.
but II is likewise true that we have a
different proposition before us; pro-
position that is more in the perspective
and will not excuse blunders as die
that OF 1861. The people OF the nation
are very patient and expectant Just
now. But little complaining Is in
evidence The administration has
been granted everything that 1t asked.
The people have sown and will de-
mand a harvest, just as surely as the
sun rises and sets. What will that
harvest be?
Every good citizen hopes that Il
will be a favorable one, but every
good citizen likewise knows that the
chances are that, the first yields al
least, will be very unfayorable: that
the discord and mutterings will be
Just as much in evidence as the words
OF approval are now. Then will come
the time when true patriotism will
show out. Not every man who avows
his allegiance and sings the Star
Spangled Banner with emphasis Is
patriot any more than is every man
who stands afar off and cries, 20,
The veneer will wear off and when It
does the hypocritical patriot will be
disclosed as thoroughly as Is the hy-
pocritical Christian when the acid
test OF Christianity is put to him.
Most people expect TO see the ad-
ministration come in for severe criti-
cism. President Wilson has been
given a free hand and II is likely that
the people will expect more than they
will get. People are talking food
conservation now, but at the same time
they are not denying themselves any
thing. We hope that the time will
never come when people will be COM
PEELED to deny themselves. but we
vry much fear that II will; that chas-
tisement such as this nation has never
seen Is in store for all Those who
come through it will be better men
and women because of it, should lt
come, but 1t will be an awful test or

to- vote st. Louis County DRY. May we not also
ask that you work among your friends and neigh

their support! Nothing can lose this election for
the cause of good government except apathy upon
the part Of the DRY forces. Your fellow citizens
throughout the county are looking to you for help.
Give it them and help win the fight! .~. :
Be not dismayed by the cry of the VETS that
you are unpatrietic in waging this fight. Their
charge, that you are dividing the nation, is
answered by the fact that the American people
have already pronounced the doom of the saloon.
The success of county option in this, the largest
county in the state. will aid materially in making

DRY ORDINANCE C0NIMITTEE,. =
The labor world. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1896-current, 1917-09-01

To the People of Duluth:
In June, 1916, you voted to MAKE
DULUTH DRY! Within less than year there
after you voted decisively to KEEP DULUTH
DRY! Your expression at these elections is at
last the law and for two months we have been
reaping the benefits of a Dry Duluth.
For more than year large portion of st.
Louis county north of Duluth, including the
splendid cities of Hibbing and Chisholm, has
been dry through the operation of the Indian
Treaty, with resulting blessings and benefits to
the people of this territory.
Over 5000 voters from every precinct i'm the
county have now called an election, under the
County Option Law to Danish the few remain
ing saloons and make st. Louis county wholly
dry. This election will be held Monday Septenl-
Der 10, 1917.
The Dry County Committee, with lleadquar-
ters at Virginia, is conducting the campaign, and
the Dry Ordinance Committee and the Trade
Union Dry League have enlisted i'm the fight. In
the recent struggles to KEEP DULUTH DRY
you nobly responded when CALLED TO THE
COLORS. Two brilliant victories were your
rewards In this election every man, woman and
child is expected to do HIS BIT."
ST. LOUIS COUNTY MUST BE MADE
DRY!
The VETS, this time styling themselves the
"St Louis County Citizens League" have
opened the campaign through the public press.
They are again presenting their shop-Worn
arguments. They have nothing new to offer.
They charge that we are unpatriotic in
forcing an election at this time, claiming that the
Government needs the revenue from their traffic,
and ignoring the tremendous fact that the
NATION NEEDS MANHOOD MORE THAN
MONEY.
They seek to prejudice the working man
against the Dry movement, claiming that we are
his enemy and pretending that they are his friend.
They ingenio,sly assert that whiskey is no
longer an issue; that, since it's manufacture is
restricted but not prohibited by Congress- ''the
factor that has caused drunkenness i'm the past
has been wiped OUT Thus they would have YOU
believe that this is an election against beer and
light wines, Wilfully withholding the fact that
enough Whiskey remains in storage and for sale
to sf1atter the national strength in an hour when
men OF iron, with nerves of steel, are necessary.
The startling thing in all their propaganda is
that THEY DO NOT DEFEND THE SALOON.
Last spring the saloon keepers offered you
bride Of $150000 for the privilege of operating

attention throughout the nation and gave impetus
to the Dry movement everywhere. NOW THE
BREWERS SEEK TO BRIBE YOU. In the Du- >:
luth Herald of August 18th, one who withheld his
name, but who spoke officially for the Duluth
brewers, stated that they would not make another
attempt to put Duluth WET until after Novenl-
Der, 1918, if you would only vote the county WET
OH the 10th day of September. =.
What will your answer be to this bride!
Does it appeal to your sense of fairness! Are YOU
willing to sell out the rest Of St. Louis county for
an indefinite promise that Duluth may be kept
DRY for another year! Speaking for the nation,
President Wilson has said that @:AMERICA
ASKS NOTHING FOR HERSELF THAT SHE

same spirit Of patriotism let these brewers know

Beware Of SUCH al promise made in the dark
by men without whose aid blind pigs could not:
exist and houses of prostitution could not flour
ish; by men who co1lspre among themselves to
evade and violate the law; by men who break
their promises when expediency demands, as
readily as the Prussian war lord breaks his

opportunity, and they are waiting for their
