Edmore lady politicians didn't take
kindly to the O'Connor club delega-

community in the county last week,
excluding Devils Lake. The ladies
for O'Connor from this city guided by
the steering committee Of leading I.

Edmorites with their amorous en-
thusiasm-Edmore already had a typi-
cal club of now-women voters, a truly
Nonpartisan organization.
In the winter Of a year ago, a
number of women of Edmore join
ed together as an organization to
study political conditions and not to
be affiliated with any party-fair

In response to a question as to

BIG SHIPMENT
Of MONUMENTS
ARRIVES here
w. Gilberts0n Has
Unloaded $4,000
Pounds

Another carload of fine monuments
was unloaded in the Great Northern
yards yesterday by the E. w. Gilbert
son Monument Works. The car con-
tanned some $4,000 pounds Of Granite
memorials shipped direct from the
quarry. AS the carload rate is SO
cents per hundred pounds, the total
freight was nearly $278. Had this
number of pounds been shipped by
local freight as is the case with stones
sold by other agents, the freight
alone would have been 1904, and the
freight is always added to the cost Of
the monument whether concealed or
not. The Gilbertson firm is the only
wholesale monument works between
Grand Forks and Minot.
They employ their own carvers and
fnishers and consequently buy direct
at the quarry from the leading firms
which cannot be done by persons act
ing as agents or sub-agents, thereby
eliminating the n middleman's pro-
fit. This accounts for the rapidly
growing business enjoyed by the Gil
bertson firm the past years as they
are able to deliver a better grade of
goods with workmanship guaranteed
than any other agents or firm in the
Lake Region. The car just unloaded
is the third within 60 days to be re-
ceived here. The following persons
received monuments in this war:
R. c. Hanson, Cando.

Points Out Effect OF

BoyhoOd

BY Billy Sunday,

ROANKE, ya-The4 heart Of thd
average American boy viii cherish
bitter enmity toward the dastardly
gambling interests that corrupted his
baseball idols.
But no boy win say today he has
lost faith in baseball. He is just one
more factor Of : public eager to re-
pudiate the slightest suggest of dis
honesty, and anxious to back up the
efforts to maintain for baseball the
reputation Il has had for years
clean, on tho square, whole and dill
tinctively American.
Disloyalty and dishonesty did what
all the sluggers in the American Lea
que could not do: drove Eddie Cicotte
from the box.
Fame Lost
Thus one Of the idols Of the Amer
lean boys is knocked FROM his pedes-
tai Of fame.
This constitutes n Of the saddest
features connected with the baseball
scandal. Even this, however, will not
rob the average boy Of. his interest in
and love for baseball. Boys 60 in to
win. No suspicion Of crookedness
ever enters their heads. It is the
hardest thing under the sun to corrupt
a boy so that he will lose q race or
throw a game.
Thousands Of youthful ball players
On the city lots and members Of coun-
try town teams from coast to coast
will see in the baseball scandal only
proof Of the things they hav. always
believed: that you can't play the game
crooked and win-that murder will
out-and you can't mix in bad com
pany and get away with It .

CUT SOURCE Of
THE H|CHCoST
Of LIVING HERE
Higher Wages Does Not
Accomplish The
Object
BY Milton Bronner,
European Manager, N. E. A.
Especial Cablel

Especial Cable)
MILAN, Italy.-In a history-mak-
ing contest with capital. Italian labor
has had something more in view than
higher wages and partial control Of
industry in which men worked.
What they aim at is bringing
down the high cost of living and
they think they have found the
way.
The economy philosopher who set
this forth to me was G. P. Frejalmini,
of Milan, one Of the secretaries Of the
great Italian Confederation of Labor,
which has more than two million
members. Said he:
Merely to get a raise of a few tira
in wages per day would not help eth
er our men or the general mass Of
Italian people. The shopkeepers
would merely raise the price of goods
and the vicious circle would start all
yer again..
Would Trace Cost.
"But that is where comes in our
demand that committees of workers
shall have internal control Of works,
including the power to trace the cost
of everything from beginning to end.
"For instance, suppose a commit
tee of workers found that including
materials and labor it cost 60 Ira to
produce a pair Of shoes. Manifestly
something is wrong, if, after passing
through the hands of various middle
men, shoes cost the people $50 or
200 Ira.
"Our thought is that the workmeAs
committee should bring about a condi-
zion under which before the shoes left
the factory they would be stamped
10 show they cost 60 Ira to produce.
The same thing could be done with
other products Of factories in Italy,"
Snow if things are thus marked
showing the real cost of production,
profteers could not go so far as they
have been doing. However, if this
did not make them quit, it would be
easy to secure a law limiting the
amount Of profit any wholesaler or
retailer could make on goods.
I'VE have the political power to
bring this step about.
II will give you a few examples. In
the Turin district we have 140, 600
members; in Milan, 211,OO0; Coca,
10000; Venice, $1,000; Bologna, 49,.
600; Florence, $4,000; Rome, 40, 900;
and Naples, 10000.
"We are organized all over Italy
proper Sicily and Sardinia. Also, We
have $4,000 members among the agri.
culture laborers. In proportion to
our population we are infinitely strong.
