One Of the most enlightening and
inspiring addresses ever delivered in
Duluth was that given by Glenn e.
Plumb before the convention of the
Minnesota State Bar association in Du-
luth Tuesday morning. Mi. Plumb
was presented to the convention by
President Ambrose Tighe, who hui
morously referred to the criticism
made on account of Mr.. Plumb's
presense "as a representative of Le-
nine and Trotsky.'
Mr.. Plumb captivated his audience
by his kindly manner, clear express
sion and splendid logic. He came
not, he said, to convince those who
heard him as lawyers, but to appeal
to them as citizens. He at once set
out to convince. his audience that his
plan for Industrial democracy was in
exact accord with the principles of
our government. He asked not for
the professional approval Of lawyers,
but merely respectful hearing.
Made Great Hit.
His time was limited to IS minutes
and: he confined himself to it, COW
ering: every point thoroughly before
when he was given an
ovation seldom indulged.' in by the
staid: members of the legal probes
sion. His speech has been the topic
of discussion in the corridors of the
hotel and in lawyers offices ever
since. So, pleased were Duluth law
yers and business men over Mr..
Plumb's speech that he was induced
to remain over day and address the
kiwanis club Wednesday on the rail-
road situation.

industrial democracy" began Mr..
Plumb: These are magic words.
They have charmed the hearts of
millions Of people in the last six
years: Through the promises of. the Sc
words our hearts have been lifted to
make greater sacrifices for a world
wide war, with the hope held out
that when the war wa over we would
realize what was meant in the prom
lse OF industrial democracy.
/ The words are misleading. They
imply that there may be two kinds
OF democracy-political democracy
and industrial democracy. There
cannot be two kinds, of democracy
there, can only be one. It is impos-
sible that We should have democra cy

workers, although at that time they
held the strate gic position to Improve

packers repudiated this agreement,
and the government, instead. of con-

to- this situation.
The packers opposition to Judge
Alschuler was increased last week
when that jurist rejected the pro-

tenant FARMERS
STARvE IN SOUTH

cIares Disease Has Stricken
Poorly Fed Growers.

WASHINGTON, July 2s.-T Tenant
farmers in the south are facing the
dreaded disease. known as: pellagra,
because of cotton conditions, says
the United States public health serv-
ice, Pellagra is caused by famine
conditions. Most American cotton is
raised on shares by tenant farmers,
who are carried" by land-owning
planters for about six months each
year, during which time they are
provided with food and clothes for
themselves, and their families to be
paid for when the crop is sold in the
fall. Last years crop is still unsold;
says the public health service; and
neither tenant nor planter have re-
ceived money on which they depend.
Inevitably there is pressure all down
the line and the tenants, whose credit
has been reduced to the disappearing
point, are obliged to live on the very
cheapest foods obtainable
These foods. salt pork, corn meal
and molasses, valuable as they are
when balanced by other foods, such
as lean meat, eggs, milk and vege-

absolutely essential to the mainten-
ance of health. And the other foods
are away beyond the purse of the
tenants" said the public health serv-
ice.
Conditions have been getting
steadily worse for months, and the
cumulative effect is becoming serious.

particular kind of semi-starvation be-
fore pellagra begins to manifest it.

render. -' s :.

REFUSES TO
GRANT REDUCTION

CHICAGO, July 28.-Federal Judge
Alschuler, arbitrator in the meat pack
ing industry, has refused the packers
demand for a horizontal wage cut
of S cents an hour. Approximately
100000 workers are affected by the
decision. -
The arbitrator held that reductions
in the cost of living are not as pro-
nounced as employers claim, and
there has been little decline.

PRAY AND NAUSON
FIGHT TO A DRAW

New Years AFTERNOON, before a
large audience of boxers and fight
fans Bud Pray losal youth. and Gus
Nauson of La Sale fought to a draw
in their ten round encounter at the
Columbia hall arena Both displayed
a little more class than usual and
made the fight pretty interesting for
all those who attended the show
The local lad had things going his

TIME and played away the ten rounds
in wonderful fashion while his Oppo-
nent seemed to have overwOrked him
self at certain stages of the contest,
probably in search Of a knockout but
was unable to find it in opposing a
man like Pray.
At times both fighters exchanged
blows in great style ana they were
not love taps, but the good old hard
jolts which usually result in knock,
outs or knockdowns. Neither fighter
showed fear of being beaten by his
opponent. When the gong sounded

If we had dozen senators like him, we would have old peace prices back in no time. have written to Sen ator Boise that Samuel J. BowSer stands back of him to his last vest button. I think the senator will be greatly encouraged"
 And do you think you have helped matters any?" asked Mrs. Bowser.
 Helped? Helped? Why, woman, l have done wonders In just writ ing these letters, I believe I have brought down prices. You can't tell what influence I have exerted have also written another letter to Senator Knocks, asking him to go right to work and knock down the price of bacon. have shown him that there are just as many hogs in the country as there ever was, and the high price of bacon was sheer rob bery. By tomorrow I will expect the butchers will begin to drop on their prices"
 T hardly expect that" said Mrs. Bowser, "but there is a good chance for you to see. You are probably going out this evening, and you might stop at the butchers and ask him if there is to be a come-down. We need some bacon for breakfast. 1 would do this, before I mailed the letters, if I were you"
 Mir. Bowser took up his letters and went out. There was q mall box at the corner, but he did not post his let ters. He went on half a block to the butchers and said to him:
 "Butcher, you have been asking highway robbery prices for bacon. You have been asking 45 cents pound. I have written to congress about you. Are prices to come down?"
 'Mr. Bowser," softly answered the butcher, 'I would like to sell you bacon for ten cents a pound but it has gone up to 60 cents. and you must pay it, and congress be hanged :"
 MIr. BoWser repassed the mall box as he went home, but he did not mail his letters. Instead of mailing them, he tore them to pieces

OBESITY IN RUSSIA CURED

A Russian medical man has hu- morously said that it Is not true that Bolshevik rule brought nothing but evil to Russia, for a certain number of people who once suffered from obesity and chronic catarrhs are cured, and even feeling younger, writes Dr. Boris Sokoloy, a profes- sor at the University of Petrograd, in the Lancet, London. It is all undoubted fact that many diseases have entirely disappeared as a result of the change brought about by the abolition of idleness. A Petrograd physician told me that of 800 of his patients only nine suffered from dilation of the heart caused by obesity; five of these were we'll known communists and the other four profteers.

Why, it's just as easy as grease" wus the reply. "There was chap named Monroe and he had a good deal to do with the United States. He finally got the big head and he said to Europe that she must not come over to this continent and claim anything. He said we owned the whole darned show and we would fight to keep it. It seems that, in making the treaty of peace, Europe was to get the best of us, and, by and by, she might have come over here and sat down on our farm, but for Senator Lodge, He smelled a rat and he got right up in meeting and said so. I don't know whether this country can be saved or not, but if 1t is saved then Senator Lodge will have all the credit of it. I am tell ing him to do his best and am of fering to back him up.

AND THE DISCUSSION ENDED
One Would Imagine It Was High Time to Put Stop to 6oyish
 Controversy.

It was at closing day kinder garten party in legally "dry" city in a legally "dry'' state and nation. Two little chaps fell into a discus sion of what they liked best, and be- fore they were through they became as daring as they were embarrassing to their mothers.
 q like peanuts best" said one.
 q like popcorn best" said the other.
 T like an all-day sucker best, 3 the former put in, taking new basis for argument.
 q don't I like an ice cream cone best" said the latter, who was not to be outdone, if he could pre- vent it.
 "Huh," came back the former. whose daring spirit rose to the challenge. q like beer best"
 Beer ain't no good,9 retorted the latter, q bit shaken for a moment and then more determined than ever to put his playmate to shame. q like whisky and wine best"
 It seemed for few seconds that the former had been put to rout, but not so. Something popped into his mind that the latter could not counter
 "Well, my papa can make beer," was the assertion that closed the controversy.
