McFadden alias Miss “News and Comments” of the Duluth News Tribune, wins the thanks of the entire family as fol- lows: “The Bemidji Pioneer editor, F. A. Wilson, says ‘News and Com- ment’ is guessing wrong in attribut- ing the paragraphs written in that paper to Mrs. Wilson’s wit and hu- mor. ‘News and Comment’ stands corrected, but still insists that the paragraphs are exccllent and quite bright enough to warrant any one who knows Mrs. Wilson in thinking she wrote them.” A REMARKABLE SHOWING. In one or two instances newspa- pers which favor Governor Eberhart in his announced intention of forget- ting his Brainerd pledge, if he can, kave tried to discount the Duluth Evening Herald’s poll of the news- papers of Minnesota relative to their opinion as to the desirability of cal- ling an extra session of the legisla- ture. In this effort it has been point- ed out that although the Herald re- ceived answers from 219 newspapers there are in the state 3s daily, 5 semi-weekly, 621 weekly, monthly‘ 50 monthly, 2 bi-monthly and one quarterly publications. In reply to this the Herald speaks for itself in the following language: “Here are a few facts, aside from the fact that the canvass is yet in- complete, many comments being re- served for future publication, that have been overlooked. “According to Ayers’ directory of newspapers, there are in Minneapo- lis, St. Paul and Duluth alone 141 publications. A scant dozen of these were included in The Herald’s can- vass, because it did not canvass the city daily press, the trade press, the religious press, the society publica- tions and the horde of other publica- tions—not newspapers at all—which are put out in these three cities. “Aside from these city publica- tions, scattered all over the state there are educational, religious and 11 semi- 1415—Henry V. made a trium- ©| other publications—not newspapers —which are included in the Gazette’s statistics but which were not, of course, included in The Herald’s can- vass. : “Practically every. daily newspa- per, too, publishes a weekly edition, so0 that there is a larger duplication there. Add to these the regrettably large number of newspapers in the state which seldom or never print editorial opinions, and it will be found that the list of newspapers that have spoken-on the extra ses- sion idea is already pretty thorough- 1y representafive.' And there are more to come.” In the opinion of the Pioneer the showing made by the Herald was re- markable because of the almost un- animous demand from all parts of the state by representative newspa- pers. It will take some tall figur- ing for extra session opponents to discount the unanimous demand of 219 newspapers. But no one can blame them for trying to figure. It is enough to make them feel creepy. BETTER LAWS NEEDED. The report covering the official ac- tivity of the immigration authorities on Ellis Island during the year which ended on June 30, 1911, has been is- sued and presents interesting infor- mation and material for thought. In the year covered by the report 749,- 642 aliens were inspected at the Port of New York. Of these 605,384 were promptly admitted on first inspec- tion, the remainder being detained for special inquiry. The deportations during the year numbered 14,500, of whom 1,500 were aliens who after entry had been found to be here in violation of the law. Immigration Commissioner Wil- liams in his report points out the fact that the laws in regard to im- migration are not sufficient to en- able the immigration authorities to prevent the entry of certain unde- sirable aliens who, for the best in- terests of this country, should be pre- vented from landing, In many cases, the Commissioner maintains, a great deal of trouble and difficulty could ‘be avoided if the steamship agents in foreign ports showed greater care and discrimination in accepting pas- sengers. This is shown by the fact that in some months the exclusions were fully three per cent of the ar- rivals. How difficult it is for the immi- gration authorities in many cases to prevent the entry of undesirable per- sons is illustrated by a recent case. Ten years ago a young man came to this country from Austria. He suc- ceeded in his vocation and, after a few years was married. A short time ago he received a letter from his for- mer home in Austria, informing him that his sister, who was only seven years old when he emigrated to the United States, would come to Ameri- ca to live with him. In due time a girl who claimed to be the young man’s sister, arrived at Ellis Island and the young man, deceived by the girl’s statements and a family re- semblance in her features, recognized her as his sister, whereupon she was permitted to land. A few days after the girl had ar- rived the young man learned that she was not his sister but a distant relative and that he had been made a tool to procure the admission of the girl to the United States. He and his wife also ascertained that the girl had been shipped across the ocean on account of her delicate con- dition and the fear of disgrace. The young man and his wife made the girl leave their house, but sent here to a boarding house and paid her board for one month. Then they no- tified Commissioner Williams and the latter is now making an investiga- tion to determine what power he has under the law in this peculiar case. COOOOPROPCOOCOO®O®O © Notes From the Labor World, ¢ RO O R R R O O R OO ORCY In the Netherlands the predomi- nant hours in most industries are ten to eleven a day. The British government has decid- ed to appoint a board of trade com- mission, empowered to arbitrate la- bor disputes. Labor leaders assert that the fight between the plumbers and the steam fitters has cost the building trades workmen of Chicago $8,669,000. Twenty thousand women in Bir- mingham, England, it is stated, are working at carding hooks and eyes at an average from half a crown to 4 shillings a week. At Seattle, Washington, an unport- ant alliance has been lormed which embraces farmers, members of the Direct Legislation League and repre- sentatives of organized labor. The International Molders’ Union reports a total increase in member- ship for the last quarter of 2,915, with an expenditure in sick benefits for the same period of $45,327. ) Seven hundred and fifty-five com- panies from the United States have built factories in Canada since 1900. Many of these are larger than the original plants in the United States. The lockout in the building trades cord. working conditions of children in the United States, according to the an- bor committee. Carters in the Eastern district of Midlothian, England, have gone on strike and some hundreds of the men are out, the dispute arising over the hours of labor and the recognition of the men’s union.

An increase in wages approximat- ing six per cent, reduced working hours and the sharing of a lump sum of $75,000 have been granted to the Baltimore and Ohio and the Balti- more and Ohio Southwestern rail- way'’s telegraphers. Previous to their organization the blacksmiths of Atlanta, Ga., got 25 cents an hour and worked ten hours a day. Since organization their wages have increased to 38 cents an hour and the day’s work has been re- duced to nine hours.

MANY PRETTY FROCKS MADE. : Thanksgiving Entertainments : cause Gowns of Beauty to Be : ‘Constructed — Purple Most : Popular of all Colors—Secarfs : Important Item of the Sea- : BY FLORENCE FAIRBANKS. In anticipation of the social events of Thanksgiving week, many hand- some dinner gowns, dance frocks, etc., have been turned out by some of the fashionable establishments for their wealthy and fastidious patrons. One of the shops made a most charm- There is a powerful movement in|ing:little dinner dance frock after a model by Drecell. This frock has a | petticoat of lace flounces’ very scant- ily gathered over a “drop” of pink chiffon. The lightness of this skirt may bé imagined. Above it falls a tunic with side pieces reaching down as far as the knees. This tunie, of palest blue velvet, is scalloped at the bottom and edged with silver fringe, and looks much like one of the lam-, brequins which used to be draped ov- er marble mantlepieces when the lat- ter were considered unsightly. At the edge of the blue velvet tunic is a festoon design of appliqued roses in pink and silver. The bodice is made of lace like the skirt, crossed de- murely over the bust and belt at the lwais'. under one big pink and silver rose. The sash of this frock—a fold- .| with black satin. ed strip of blue velvet with a flat pump bow—is almost at the natural waist line. . In fact,many of the new evening frocks show a ‘tendency toward a lower waist line. * % % Purple is undoubtedly one of the most fashionable colors of the mo- ment. It is used for entire costume or in combination with other colors as trimming and appears in a great variety of shades. A very handsome model of a winter gown; shown in one of the fashionable shops, was of plum purple with a straight narrow x| skirt trimmed below the knees with a deep fold of the material pippd There were two swinging panels at the back, which gave a broad effect across the waist at the back. This, by the way, is ‘one of the dominant features of this ‘winter’s styles, and will be seen on . |every kind of gown. The coat was quite large and did not follow the slim, straight lines that all the tailors made conspicuous last summer. It had a black satin cord across the back, a little above the natural waist, whiclt held the material in, and a peplum, or lower part, which fitted the hips snugly and reached half way to the Kknees. There were two buttons to fasten it above.the waist line in front, and a voluminous collar, square across the back and running to points at the waist. The material was French gray broadcloth, finished off with a band of the material, and with an Egyptian design in tubular black braid in the middle of the back. * X % Scarfs are an important item in a woman’s costume this season. There are designs innumerable, of satin lined with bright-hued silk of the sheerest chiffon, lined with satin, of lace, of spangled net, in short of any article which can be artistically converted into a scarf. Those made of satin and chiffon are gathered into a sort of tassel-like bunch at the ends with some sort of a jeweled or- nament as a pendant. FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 1911. The straight satin scarf, which is] from nine to twelve inches wide and about, one hundred inches long, is not only fashionable and pretty but ser- vicable and practical. It may . be wound about the throat on a cold day, and it may be arranged to pro- tect the chest. * x % New blouses and guimpes show either a closing directly in front, or one lapped to one side under three large buttons. Whether the buttons quality. * o * costumes are usually made with one of the long tunic effects, with either other material or of the same mater- ial in a contrasting color. * x Sometimes there seems to be an effort to increase the size of the waist by belting the figure just at the ing it loosely. There are no more tight waistbands in the fashionable world. When the Duke Scrubbed. When the Duke of Coburg-Gotha was a very young royal highness he was taken by his mother, the Duchess of Albany, to Mr. Wesley’s school for boys. Before taking in the royal youngster the master stipulated that the new pupil must conform to all the rules. This was agreed. One day his royal highness upset a bottle of ink on the floor. “Get a buck- et of water and wipe it up,” said the master. “But,” objected his royal highness, “you don’t mean me to scrub it up do you?” “Yes, indeed.” “But you must forget my grandmoth- er is the queen?” “On the contrary,” said the mastes, “I remember it very well. Get the wa- ter.” ‘Whereupon his royal highness the Duke of Coburg-Gotha scrubbed.— Chicago Tribune. Netzers Drug Store O’Leary-Bowser Co.
