If the Spaniards had not assured the
world that they had ordered an armistice
in Cuba, nobody would ever have so much
as suspected that there was a temporary
peace in the island.

sion old and true. This does not
apply in Westc otis case however.
He says: 'SHad the publisher of
the West Duluth Sun the proper
amount of sand or had the Civic
Federation of Duluth been on
earth, just such q suit would be
brought. What has this to do
with the case? Is not Westcott
posing as the champion of the
taxpayers interests, Why did
not he bring this suit if it would
save all this money to the taxpay
ers instead Of monkeying with
such small little savings as that
involved in the Ely case. Does
he imagine people are fools and
cannot see through his motives.
The whole thing is as plain as a
looking glass. Westcott only
saves the taxpayers money where
he sees some returns for Westcott.
The smear that he is giving the
people may 60 in some parts of
the country but in Ely it don't
wash. The taxpayers are Quick

IF the county authorities at
Duluth were as swift in melting
out Justice to the law brokers and
murderers from the ranges as they
are running for offices, the action
of Judge Parish, of Ashland, and
the authorities there would not
stand as a glaring example before
them. AS an example of the bril-
liancy of the prosecuting attorney
we will cite the case of John Golich,
the man who was indicted by the
last grand jury for biting off a
friends finger and from the effects
Of which bite the bitee contracted
blood poisoning and nearly died.
When the case was called for trial
in District court, several witnesses
of minor Importance were sum
moned but the complaining
witness was forgotten and left a
home, here in Ely, and not sum
moned. It is needless to state
that the prisoner returned the
same evening the witnesses came
back. The county attorney
engineered the job.

he would return and be in line for
the next shooting or stabing.
Thus we are rid of an undesirable
citizen. If the county is to get
rid of this class of people, it
should offer transportation and
cash to the fugitive.

''The unexpected always hap

Yes, it does behoove the taxpayers
to bring an Injunction suit against
the county commissioners for
awarding the printing to the
higest instead of to the lowest as
they were legally bound to do.
Had the publisher of the West

such suit would have been
