SUBSCRIPTION---$5.00 PER ANNUM NEWSPAPER MEN ARE DESERVING. Says the Duluth News-Tribune, concerning Minnesota newspaper men filling public offices: The Editorial association, enter- tained recently by the Commercial club, are inclined to “point with pride” to the number of newspaper men now occupying positions of honor and trust outside their own profession. Governor Johnson, former editor of the St. Peter Herald, is a member of the Minnesota’ Editorial associa- tion. State Librarian John E. King, formerly of the Red Lake County Courier, is another; so is Secretary of State Julius Schmahl of the Red- wood Gazette; Judge C. W. Stanton of Bemidji, was formerly editor and publisher of the Appleton Press. He is now an independent candidate for judge in his district. He was appointed by his fellow journalist, the present state executive. The former editor of the Fair- mont Sentinel, Frank A. Day, isa power in state politics, a man dis- cussed as successor to his chief. Harvey Grimmer, the govornor’s executive clerk, was a St. Cloud newspaper reporter. Carlos Avery, publisher and editor of the Hutch- inson Leader, is executive agent of the game and fish commission. J. Adam Bede, of the Budget, is congressman from the Eight dis- trict. A. G. Bernard, formerly of the Walker Pilot, is president of the national drainage board, €. Fi MacDonald, for the St. Cloud Times and C. C. Whitney of the Marshall News-Messenger, are members of the Soldiers’ home board. W. E. McEwen, publisher of the Duluth Labor World, is state oil inspector, and there are others in prominent positions, while the postmasters, deputy oil inspectors and deputy game wardens are numerous. And it is but a fair recognition of services rendered that members of the “fourth estate” are filling the various offices noted. The average politician officeholder or selfstyled statesman owes much of his success to the generous treatment accorded him by the press. Column after column of commendatory matter concerning the public officials of Minnesota "has been printed in the state press,and in an average of seven write-ups out of ten, the bene- ficiary of the “spiel” has not even written a letter of acknowledgement and thanks therefor, let alone pay- ing a fair compensation for services rendered. This lack of courteous treatment on the part of politicians toward the press is having its full effect; and newspaper men are beginning to look a little more careful after their own interests, instead of being led around by the nose (literaly speak- ing) by a bunch of pap-sucking public officials who do not show appreciation of kindly treatment. SOLD BY HER BROTHER. Michigan Girl Rescued From Chicago Resort. Chieago, July 2 .—Detectives res- cued a nineteen-year-old girl from a resort at 2001 Armour avenue after she had complained that she had been sold into “white slavery” by her brother. By means of a bribe the girl succeded in getting a letter to her mother, a cripple, in a hospital at Eloise, Mich. This letter was re- turned to Assistant State’s Attorney Roe. According to the story told by the girl, Loraine Wright, her brother, Charles Wright, believed to be a piano player in the levee distriet, per- suaded her to come to Chicago, where, he said, he could secure a good posi- tion for her. On her arrival in this city three months ago he took her to the resort, which he called a cafe. TUntil after he had left she did not know the na- ture of the place. Whenishe said that she would leave her clothes were taken from her. She had not been outside of the house since. Frank Lewis and his wife, the pro- prietors of the place, were arrested. DENIED BY GOMPERS. Reports That He Had Requested Hearst to Support Bryan. Erie, Pa., July 2)—President Sam- uel P. Gompers of the American Féd- eration of Labor said to a representa- tive of the Associated Press that there is absolutely no truth in the published reports that he had wired Willlam R. Hearst, a leader in the Independence league, urging the eai- tor to use his influence to prevent the league from nominating its own candidate for president, and to urge tbe league to give its support to William J. Bryan because the Denver convention incorporated in its plat- form planks urged by organized laber. Mr. Gompers sald: “I read in the newspapers that I am credited with asking Mr. Hearst to suport Bryan, and that Mr. Hearst has made reply to me through the press. Now, I did nothing of the kind. I don’t know where the mes- sgge Mr. Hearst claims to have re- ceived came from. I did not send it LEADERS CITED Must Answer Charge of Contempt of Court.

FIRST POLISH BISHOP. Rev. Paul Rhode Auxiliary of Chlcago Archdiocese. ) Chicago, July 2L—Consecration of the Rev. Paul Peter Rhode, D. D., pastor of St. Michael's Polish Roman Catholic church of South Chicago, as auxiliary bishop of the Chicago arch- diocese, which will take place a week from Wednesday, is attracting the at- tention of Polish speaking people throughout the world as an event of historic importance to the Polish na- tion.

Archbishop Quigley, who took the first step among the archbishops of the United States to glve the Polish speaking Roman Catholics recognition in the episcopate of the church in this country and at whose petition Pope Pius X. named the Rev. Paul Peter Rhode for that honor, will be the consecrator, assisted by Bishop Muldoon of Chicago, whose transfer to take charge of the new diocese of Rockford is practically conceded in church circles, and by Bishop Kou- delka of Cleveland, the first Bohemian bishop in America.

Philadelphia, July 2\.—A discovery by workmen in the basement of Phil- adelphia’s great city hall that a pier supporting a portion of the seven- story wall on the east side of the building had become weakened and threatened to collapse led to the em- ployment of a big force of men to shore up the shaky support. The state department of the city treas- or any other message to Mr. Hearst.” urer’s _office-on . ordered o~ vacate Tts Tooms Imimedi- ately. 5 City Architect ‘Powell and other officials declare that the early discov- ery of the dangerous condition of the pler has precluded any likelihood of a serious ‘accident, though they ad- it uneasiness and afirm that to forestall the collapse of a portion of the wall delicate work will be neces- sary and will consume several weeks’ time.

Also the plang of George C. Manley, attor- ney for the marble company, to have Gompers and the officers of the Amer- lcan Federation of Labor declared in contempt of court for failure to ap- pear befére a notary public suffered complete defeat. Papers in the sult in tort were served on Samuel Gompers, John Mit- chell, John B. Lemmon and James Duncan of the American Federation of Labor last week when they came to Denver to attend the meeting of the executive council and appear be- fore the resolutions committee of the Democratic national convention. As soon as the summonses were served Manley subpoenaed the labor leaders to appear before a mnotary public to make depositions as to their knowl- edge of the case. On advice of coun- sel they decided to ignore the sub- poenas and left the city.
