Duluth has suddenly realized that it has not been getting on as it should and the railroads have not helped out asthey should. A strong movement, with the backing of the entire community, is set onfoot to obtain for the lake port the advan- tages that belong to it, which have been denied by the action of the railroads. In that every city in the north- west is interested with Duluth. Here is Lake Superior, reaching three hundred miles further west than any other deep water route. But if the bulk of the traffic is routed by way of Chicago, Lake Superior might as well be wiped off the map for all the good it does us. In away the railroads have succeeded in wiping it off the map. This diverson of traffic by manip- ulation of rates is one of the things against which Duluth is con- tending. Again, the country in a large part of Northern Minnesota is al- most as much a wilderness as it was forty years ago before the railroads came. They have either failed much to give settlements fair chance or they have positively discouraged it by excessive rates, and ‘‘boosting” the Canadian Northwest or some other out-of-the-way section. In addition to all that it has been found that obstacles that seem wholly unnecessary have been placed between producers in this section and the Duluth market. The Duluth people are trying to remove these obstacles and ask the assist- ance in doing it of all the people in the adjacent territory.” They ought to have it. Duluth is for many things our natural market, where the best prices ought to be obtained for our local produce. To be shut out of that market by any cause is an in- justice to our producers and has the effect of hindering the settlement of this county. The extent to which this conntry has been discriminated against by the railroads as shown by a series of articles in the Duluth News Tribune is startling. Those articles have aroused the Duluth public toa profound deter- mination to see that the abuses are corrected and have attracted wide attention in the country west of Duluth. Our people will do well to join in the movement as far as it affects us. The entire northwest will be gainer by it when the movement of traffic flows over the direct main line to and from Duluth and not in the round-about ways into which the railroads have tortured it EDUCATOR KILLED IN MINE Crushed to Death While Visiting Un- derground Workings.

Lexington, Ky., Nov. t—With armed mountzincers and feudists patrolling the streets of Jackson and guarding every mountain pass leading to that city and state troops pitted against them a serious and bloody conflict is feared at the election in Breathitt county. The sudden-crdering out of the state troops followed the sensational steal- ing by an armed body of men of all the ballots printed for the election and the carrying of them away to a remote part of the county. Hardly had this coup been effected and the news spread to the mountain districts when the local partisans of both Dem: ncrats and Republicans began to pour into Jackson heavily armed and men- acing bloodshed. With the situation hourly growing more critical Acting Governor Cox ‘was appealed to for military by spe clal tvain and the Lexington company was dispatched to .Jackson, while other troops in adjoining cities were ordered under arms to await jmme diate call.

But a clash may oceur at any time. Ed Callahan, noted feudist, is de- clared to be the real power behind the movement on the part of the Democrats to regain control of local offices. WOULD HANG THE OFFENDER 8t. Louis Rahbi Speaks on White Slave Traffic.
