The order to put slackers in the
first draft call has been approved
by the President and the action is
to be commended. The majority
of the slackers are of foreign birth
and have come to this country
where they have been given the
same consideration and have had
the same opportunities enjoyed by
the natives. It is true, many were
not aware of the registration re-
quirements but it is also true that
many deliberately refused to reg
lister and also refuse to abide by the
rulings of the government. In the
country they came from an act of
this nature would have been con-
sidered treason and they would
have been lined up and shot. 1t is
up to the authorities to see that
these fellows get into the front line
or put them under guard and make
them dig iron ore, build roads, har-
vest crops, etc. The idea of put
ting them in Jail and fattening
them up at the expense of an over
taxed people is'altogether too easy
and just what some of them are
looking for. The larger portion of
these fellows left the country of
their birth to escape their duty. To
make our boys fight the battles of
these foreign shirkers, is not the
fair thing. The alien should also
be made to take his place in the
conscripted army. BY allowing
the foreign born to escape the draft
a premium is being placed on being
an alien. He enjoys all our privil-
eyes and has none of the liabilities.
The lists of the drafted men in the
range towns is filled with aliens.
Many of these were called early in
the war by their native country to
do military duty. Being in this
free country they could not be
forced to respond. Now they are
called here, they again get away
from duty because they are natives
of the other country. If they cam
not be made to serve this country,
they should be loaded on a boat
and shipped back to the country of
which they are still a subject. If

William D. Haywood in an ad-
dress made in Chicago a week ago
made the boast that it was the aim
of the I. w. w. of which he is the
head to secure control of the
government and place the same in
the hands of "roughnecks." To
tear down and not build up is the
aim of the organization and the
red rag" bunch is deserving of
just what they are getting in many
places.

In another column will be found
a notice by the Duluth & Iron
Range to the effect that after Sun
day the train now leaving here at
S O'Clock daily except Sunday VIII
be discontinued while the afternoon
passenger tain will leave here at
1885 instead of at one o'clock as
now. The Sunday passenger Will
leave at 6:15. These changes are
made In conformity with the con-
seryation order from Washington.
Considerable dissatisfaction is be-
ing expressed by patrons of the
road over the new order. 1t is
contended that no connections can
be made with Copper Country
trains nor trains to the west. 1t is
also contended that mail service to
Chicago and the west will be con-
siderably delayed by the new
schedule. It will probably be con-
sidered an act of treason to kick at
the present time, but here in Ely
we have become so used to getting
the short end of the argument with
the railroad powers that we have
become somewhat resigned to our
position. knowing full we'll that
were it not for the ore business out
here, the passenger runs would
probably be discontinued altogether
Notwithstanding the fact that Ely
station produces more revenue in
tickets, freight, etc. than all the
other stations along the main line
combined. A great many of US
walked in here and probably soon
will be compelled to walk out again
in order to get anywhere.

Chancellor Michaelis in his re-
cent speech was strong for political
reform in Germany and for giving
the people voice in the govern
ment but made this very nullify-
ing proviso: All this is of course
possible only on the assumption
that the constitutional right of the
imperial administration to conduct
our policy must not be narrowed.

duct of affairs to be be taken from

The bread eaten by the Stacker is

Queer Figures

A writer has submitted the fol-
lowing to the Milwaukee Journal.
The whole affair is queerly con-
structed and the figures whimsi-
cally spell historical facts:
The kaiser is the man who
started the war. Serbia is the
country where the war started.
There are six letters in each of
these words, and if written to-
gether and divided in halves,
these two halves will also spell
Kaiser. and "Serbia. "
