The greatest privilege extended to men, is the privilege to choose their, own .representatives in govern ing bodies. Until such time as we have the power to govern our selves, and have such, strings as the recall on our rep resentatives that we can force them to represent us, it is necessary that we go to the jpolls on1 election days and choose men upon whom we can place the greatest re sponsibilities afhd feel sure, of being fairly represented. Complaint has been made that there is too much graft in politics, and instances are cited. We don't deny that such things have occurred and may accur again. We are sure, however, that tbese evils will not be cured by staying way from the polls. The electors who stay at home lose more elections than the corrupt element wins.- ....... The responsibility of choosing men. who are right is on the shoulders of the electorate. The exercise of the franchise ceases to be a privilege and becomes a bounden duty. To shirk that duty is to commit a suicidal: act. We don't say you shoulcl vote for those candidates in whom we have placed a confidence, but should you fail to vote and "our" choice is elected or defeated then you have no right to complain. .FACTS'IN -iMEJ'-CASEi'- At the meeting. .of the Commercial club last week, Judge Fesler criticised those business men who were prejudiced on the question of the lighting unit in no unmeasured terms. In reporting this incident each of the daily papers referred to it, also The Labor World. The News Tr%ne said: K"Hfe vigorous-attack on a number of business men who, he alleged, waited until the first two speakers had finished before entering the hall." The Evening Herald said substantially the same thing and in addition run an editorial censuring Judge Fesler for doing so and made the same charge of "ignor ance" that the Tribune has made. The Labor World said: "Mr. Fesler pointed to the fact that the big'business men who came to vote on the matter showed a narrowness by refusing to listen to the discussion as carried on by Moore and Hudson." We, probably- unfortunately, used that little word fact, which carrie4 so much weight with it that it. called for a lengthy editorial from the morning paper. As to the charges made, pertaining to Judge Fesler's judgment, he had already answered them in a letter to the Evening Herald in which he pointed out that it was not to the business men in the Credit Association to whom he referred. Those whom he was aiming at have had no comment to make of the charges brought against them. It is unfortunate that ttfe voters of Duluth must suffer daily papers wording in the interests of a pri vate corporation, equally unfortunate is it that 'the speakers who favor the project and The Labor World, the only paper in Duluth~ giving,, them support, are to be branded as "stirring Tip class feeling." We rest content, however, since its the old cry of "stop thief." VOTE FOR AMENDMENT NO. 1! We have sound reasons for-believing that a large ma jority of the people of Minnesota, are in favor of the amendment to the state constitution known as "Amend ment No. 1," which provides for the initiative and refer endum method of legislation and is to be voted on at the coming election. W The amendment may •fail, of adoption, however, unless the voters give it the attention necessary to put it through. -To be adopted it must receive a majority of all the votes cast for any part, of the ticket, not merely more in its favor than are put in against it. If it fails to get moVe' than half of the Whole vote cast in the ag gregate it will not be adopted. This shows the necessity of having every man in favor of the amendment Vote and work for its adoption and get. his friends to do the. same as far as possible^ Failure to vote for it—leaving the square at its place on the ballot blank—will in effect register a Vote against it, for the vote on thr rest of the ticket will be counted in the aggregate and make it necessary for the amend ment to get one more to carry. Voters should'bear this in mind and be careful to vote, for the amendment and get as many others as they can to take the same pre caution. Union voters in particular should support this amend? ment with ardor and energetic action. Their interests are more deeply involved in its adoption than those of almost any other class of the people, and they should by no means neglect to do all they can to obtain the ad vantages it will bring them. It will, if adopted, give the whole people a direct and controlling voice In all the legislation they wish to participate in and enable them to enforce their w4shes in the enactment of laws in spite of the legislature, if it. should be hostile. They will no longer have to depend on the pie-crust promises of can didates, but can exercise their own will in passing such laws as they wish. They can, under the provisions, of this amendment, initiate any statute they desire to have passed, and they can ratify or reject any that may be passed by the legislature, according to their preference In the matter.—Union Advocate.

Jto ... (Fesler) began a In this editorial three-fourths of the space is devoted to the things Judge Fesler is supposed to have not known. The remaining part was devoted to The Labor World, who, according to the Tribune, is trying to stir up a class feeling by prejudicing the working class. It is not necessary for The Labor World to do this, even if we wished to. Such a charge from the Tribune comes with rather poor grace. Union Advocate ANDREW'-MlfiLSO^ FOR CONGRESS That AAdrewv.Nelson sfiptild be the next represent** tive from district i^3oh8r®®8 is a maJrtM of ele mentary intelligence. air. Nelson has proved himself to be a man of ability and Hae always been a matt of .Mceptionally hi|h caliber. The'ojily objection we havjB- heard of Mr! Nelson is that he wsis a meW school teacher. Wilsdn Was also dubbed:, "teaeher and basbeen, rather ^uccesBtul in teaching ^tfcestubborn: :''pupils'V^ome.might^iMp^rtaiit lessons. Wilson needs n^en at this time, wbo a^^eciatt bis policies^ Wilson neteds menlncongresii:wbo can proper ly support him in, all emergencies. Nelson |r the man. As to his opponent, little need be said. He bis failed when needed .the most. The fact that he may be made chairman of a committee is a poor cause for re election. It's not hollow honors the ISighith district is in ne^d of.' We want-a real representative. Mr. Miller's record on the most important labor measure -in congress is given in other colutPiiB of this issue, in reading it remember that the- Clayton -Anti trust bill, which Miller voted against on October 8th, was the bill containing ''Labor's bill- of rights." it was labor's" "magna charta," conferring to organized labqr the rights fop which we have been striving for years, A vote for Nelson is a rote for Wilson A vote for Wilson is a vote for the people. A vote for the people is" sufficient Justification, for organized labor. ADOPT THESE AMENDMENTS.

There is a num ber of Dubuque fans who tost their hopes aild several simeoleons in betting against the Braves. Who can extend (heart and pocketbook) sympathy."—Dubuque Labor Leader. We can extend (heart) sympathy, but not "pocket book." We know howthey "feel—we weiit Wrong too. FRUITS OF LABOR'S IDEAL. Two men—one fat, the other lean-—were of the window of a Pullman car. The thin one was rapturously admiring .th^.«unset«. -"Ak".be ^is a real artist., iia.ve you never gazed at heri wonders? Have you^ never watched the lambent flame of dawn life leaping across the dome of the world? Have you never watched the., red-stained islets floating in lajkes^ of fire? Have you never been drawn by the ragged, raven's-wing sky phantoms as they blotted- out the pale moon? Have you never felt the amazement of these things? "Not since I swore of," replied the fat man, as be prepared to hunt another .seat. In this funnyism the humorist- furnishes an* example of two extremes of individuality—the super-idealist and the super-realist. The highest type of man is he in whose character is the most perfect blending of the ideal and the, real—of the ideal and the practical. Walt Whitman was a poet. But he was more. He was a practical, every-day, democratic man. In. his splendid character was a happy blending of the ideal and the practical. His habitual* query was: "Do they raise men down ydur way?" Whitman's test of air ideal was what it contributed to the making of manhood. Organized Labor has an Ideal. It hsis aii ideal that makes for manhood. Its frtiits jare organization, co operation, education, advancement, efficiency, brother hood!—TheCitizen, BUILDS HUMAN GHARACTBR. Ljke the proverbial tree, brganized Labor is known by its "fruits. Its richest fruits are found in the quality of human character It produces. La,ter in his address, Mr. Walsh said :.•• "In our hearings on the trip across the continent we have had before ua all the great captains of industry, we have heard all the great leaders in the Labor Move ment arid the leaders in political and social phildsbpby and of all the men and women, who have appeared be fore the commission there have been only two who de nied the essential truths Underlying labor organizations. All others who testified before the commission admitted that the labor unionspare a benefit to the workers and to humanity at large. "During our investigations we have heard much Con cerning the so-called agitator. Well, all I have to say about an agitator is this: Ah agitator Who cries out against wrong and injustice is a benefactor to hu manity." -. -No institution in the world has done more real, prac tical work in the development of human character and the elevation of human society than the labor union.— The-Citizen. gazing out In a recent address, Frank P. Walsh, chairman of the Federal Commission on Industrial Relations, opened} with these words: "If Organised Labor did nothing else than to produce tion: such men and women as have appeared before our com-! gone?"
