DELANo Eagle: Reports. from
every part Of the Sixth congress
sional district indicate that
young Mr.. Towne is going to
poll one Of the biggest votes ever
heard of in this section of the
country and it is pretty certain
that St. Louis county, including
the city of Duluth, will ssdo itself
PROUD and give this eloquent and
able young man big boost that
will increase his majority amaz-
ingly. That the Republican can
didate has true worth and ability
there can be no doubt and it is
solely upon these qualifications
that he will be elected. He is not
a moneyed man nor is he the can
didate Of the moneyed class. Mr..
Towne is an able exponent Of Re
publicanism and is a firm believer
in Republican principles. His
will be an easy victory and it is
only a question Of how much his
majority will be.

Iowa courts sustain the use of
the rod in the public schools. A
professor was arrested on the
charge of manslaughter. A boy
whom he had whipped, died some
time after the punishment, and
the parents endeavored to lay the
blame on the teacher. The grand
jury failed to indict. The same
professor was also arrested on the
charge of assault and battery for
whipping a young girl, but the
courts exonerated him. ssSpare
the rod and spoil the child, is not
the sentiment in the Hawkeye

OTTER II FOR SALE.

The Penny Press of Minneapolis,
few days ago, published the editorial
comment of the Latnberman of last
week, concerning the settlement of the
suit brought by the State against Foley
of Aitkin, in which it was stated that it
was IAN unmitigated steal on the part
of the State The Penny Press goes
on to say however:
There is one thing the L1nabe,m,a1e
ignores: If the pine standing, was
actually worth one-half the sum paid,
why did Mr.. Foley pay the money
rather than stand trial? No court will
require man to pay double the sum
for value received.
No court will? We would commend
the Penny Press to read carefully the
testimony presented at the hearing of
the case of the State of Minnesota VS..
G. A. Smith & Co., now the G. A.
Smith Lumber, which was heard at.
Princeton, Mimi, last winter. Reputa-
BILE lumbermen, members of some of
the largest concerns in Minneapolis,
and citizens whose integrity is unques-
toned, swore that the stumpage was
not worth much more than half what
the State demanded, yet the court en-
tered a Judgment against the lumber
company for the full amount. It is all
nonsense to say that no court will re-
quire a man to pay double the sum for
value received. The case of the State
against the G. A, Smith Lumber COM
pany proves to the contrary. What,
then can the lumber companies do
when suit is brought against them with
the G. A. Smith case as a precedent,
but submit to robbery? Minneapolis
Lauabe1maan.
One of the reputable lumber
men" referred to, swore that the
pine on the Smith section (3642-26)
was worth not to exceed So per
M, yet that same Reputable lum-
herman had paid 81 per NJ. for
stumpage Of an inferior quality in
the same vicinity. But there were
REPUTABLE LUMBERMEN who swore
that the stumpage on 36-42-26 was
worth 81 per NJ, that they would
have paid So per NJ. for it, and
furthermore they are willing to
pay 81 per M. for what timber re-
mains standing on the section to-
day. But why argue the matter?
There is a sale of pine stumpage
on school lands to take place in,
