In commenting on the inequalities of the present representation in the state legislature, the Duluth Even- ing Herald said: “Before the next legislature con- venes we shall have a new enumera- tion of the people of the state, and the inequalities of representation in the Minnesota state legislature will be more strikingly shown than ever. Now is the time for Northern Minnesota to act. It can never secure its rights until it secures this fundamental right—that it shall be represented by just as many law- makers at St. Paul asisan equal population in some other portion of the state.” There are other inequalities which should be considered besides those of represeatation according to popu- lation, one of which is “‘community of interest.” In this connection, this state senatorial district is decidely in point. Beltrami county is linked with Norman county. What interest in common can these two counties have, at the present time? In Beltrami county there is still much timber, and there is liable to be iron mines, at no great distant future; while Norman county isa farming district, entirely. Get us away from Norman county, and give Beltrami a local representative, or one from an adjoining county with something in common with us. LAST BAY’S WORK OF PEAGE CONGRESS Closing Proceedings of the Chi- cago Gathering, Chicago, May 6.—An exchange of formal greetings between the diplo- matic representatives of various na- tions and a business session to con- sider the practical results of the gath- ering of peace envoys constituted the last day’s work of the second national Deace congress in session in this city. Joseph B. Moore, justice of the su- preme court of Michigan, presided over the business sessions. Ten-min- ute talks were made by eight dele- gates. Alfred H. Love of Philadel- phia, president of the Universal Peace union, said in part: “Compulsory peace is an incubator of war; preparation for war is a menace of war; broken treaties of peace are peace breakers. It is a lamentable page in our history this showing te the world the gigantic, destructive dreadnaughts, our boasted Instruments of death, causing other countries to imitate this cowardly, selfish and unneighborly nationality that can say on its coin ‘In God we trust’ and then in its intercourse with others repudiate the psalmist when he says ‘The Lord is our refuge and our strength.’” Mrs. Fannie Fern Andrews of Bos- ton, secretary of the American School Peace league, told of the work of that organization. Henry C. Niles of York, Pa, told of his state’s experiences in state peace congresses. Other speak- ers were Rev. J. L. Tryon of Boston, assistant secretary of the American Peace society, who spoke of “The London Peace Congress of 1908,” and Rev. Gilbert Bowles of Tokio, Japan. Congressman Richard Bartholdt of Missouri presided at the “internation- al greetings” session. The principal speakers were Count Johann Hein- rich von Bernstorff, the German am- bassador; Wu Ting Fang, the Chinese ambassador, and Secretary of the In- terior Richard A. Ballinger. DAHLMAN AGAIN ELECTED. Uses Lariat to Gain Votes in Omaha Contest. Qmaha. May 6—Mayor James C. Pahlman and his lariat won the city election by about 3,000 votes, a gain of 2,000 over his vote of three years ago. John P. Breen was the Repub lican candidate for mayor. During the afterncon Dahlman, an horseback, rode into the Third war( and from one election booth to an: other. His horse was kept on a gal lop and over his head the mayo swung a lariat. Now and then he would stop close to a crowd, swing the rope around his head and wher he lef g0 it would sail straight as an arrow and the noose would drop over the head of some individual. This ‘was done time and again and although it disgusted the workers on the other side it buoyed up the Dahlmanites and made more votes for their chief. T Apt Pupil.

FINALLY TURNED DOWN Introduces Resolution Declaring So- cialism the “Greatest Peace Force In the World” and Urges Its Adop- tion—Convention Refuses to Thus Emphasize the Views of Any Fac- tion of Delegates. Chicago, May 6.—The peaceful de- liberations of the peace congress were rudely disturbed when A. M. Simon of the Chicago Daily Socialist at- tempted to secure formal recognition of socialism as the “greatest peace force in the world.” It happened after the congress had officially adopted a platform in strict keeping with- its well known prin- ciples along broad lines, carefully |- avoiding matters of sectional or polit- ical controversy. Mr. Simon arose with 400 words of “whereases” and “be it resolved,” outlining socialistic beliefs and ac- complishments and attributing the causes of war to “the exploitation of labor and the impoverishment of those who toil.” Great confusion followed. The reg- ular platform had been read and amidst the turmoil aroused by the Simon resolutions there were repeat- ed calls for the original question. On a viva voce vote the report of the resolutions committee carried unani- mously. The question then recurred to the adoption of the socialist reso- lutions. Secretary Melendy arose to state that lie thought industrial causes of war should be recognized and like- wise the efforts of those organizations which make for peace, but he could not vote for the resolutions as pre- sented. He suggested a substitute resolution less radically worded. Ready to Amend Resolutions. “If there is any way by which this recognition of which Mr. Melendy speaks can be secured I am sure that the socialists and trade unions will be very glad to make an amendment that would recognize this fact,” said Mr. Simon. Judge B. O. Brown of the resolu- tions committee declared that the reg- ular platform already adopted seemed best to embody the varying opinions of the delegates as a whole without unduly emphasizing those of any one faction. J. E. Iglehart opposed the Simon resolutions, saying: “My opinion is that this convention will lose more or less of its moral force, especially with the countries of Burope, if we interject a partisan view of any question like this into the record.” This declaration was received with applause and a motion to lay on the table was promptly seconded. The chair called for a viva voce vote, the result of which in the ensu- ing confusicn seemed to be against tabling the matter. A sccond vote seemed to have the same result and a standing ‘vote was then demanded. This showed a vote of two to one in favor of tabling and it was so ordered. members draw one. - Finally a marked lemon falls to the lot of the pros- pective slayer and the yellow fruit is sent to the prospective victim.

Chicago, May 6.—Western and East- ern railroads are alarmed over the prospects of competition for freight business on the part of the electric railroads. The announcement that the Eastern Illinois and the Rock Isl- and system would interchange freight traffic with the Illinois traction sys tem has made the problem of electric line competition one of the most pressing of trafiic problems. Within a few days there will be a conference of traffic officials of Chi- cago roads to decide whether it would be wise to follow the example of the Eastern Illinois. EMPLOYE OF SUGAR- TRUST ARRESTED Government Affer Men Who Manipulated Scales. New York, May 6.—Criminal pro- ceedings as an outgrowth of the gov- ernment’s suit against the American Sugar Refining company, which re- sulted in disclosures of wholesale un- derweighing of sugar imports, have been hegun by the federal authorities Thomas Kehoe, for many years a checker on the docks of the company in Brooklyn, was placed under arrest charged with being one of the men who took part in fraudulent manip- ulation of the scales as a result of which the American Sugar Refining company recently paid to the govern- ment $2,134,000 in back duties.
