diately Adjourns.

Those who expected to see warm
lime at last Fridays meeting o.
he school board were disappointed
The belligerent members spent theil
yarIike spirit in talk before the meet
log, and not a voice in favor Of radica
action was raised at the meeting. Mr.
Wilson, who was one of the two mem
beers who asked to have the specia
meeting called, took the opposite
lack last night and moved that the
board adjourn, as soon as both sides
lad been heard heard and before any
discussion was had. Capt. Keysor
/ ne other member who requested the
calling of the meeting, had nothing
=, say. Mr.. Fletcher, who has taken
nIr. Schmitt's part, retired from the
,oom'at the close with his face wreath.
I'd with smiles.
The action of the board cannot be
utherwise construed than as vindi-
cation of MIR. Schmitt's course. Had
10 meeting been held, this question
would have been left open, but as 1t
j., Mr.. Schmitt's friends have right
Il feel elated. Not one of cen.
sure fell upon his ears, and the re-
port made by the superintendent
was not even so much as referred to a
committee.
Every member of the board was
present, and in calling them to order,
resident Williams said that the
lneeting had been called at the re-
quest of the two members from the
Union school district. Besides the
members of the board, there were
present Supt. Varney, John Schmitt,
the latter's brother, Attorney Harri'
ION L. Schmitt and three representa-.
lives of the press.
President Williams called on Score
tary Brewster to read that part OF the
rules relating to the consideration Of
let's of teachers. Mr.. Brewster read
The rule, which said that such mat
uers should be considered in secret
session. The hint, broad as it was
was not taken by either Supt. Varney
ur Mr.. Schmitt.
After some delay, Mr.. Cray arose
and moved that this rule be suspend

his motion, he said that he thought

ION This Occasion

Ely has them and there Is not a
particle of doubt in anyone's mind
but what the following from an ex-
change is very TRUTHFUL: EVERY
town has liar or two; smart Aleck;
some pretty girls; more loafers than
it needs; woman or two who tattles;
an old fogy that the town would be
better without; men who stand on
the street corner and make remarks
about woman; scores of men with
the cabOOse of their trousers worn
smooth as glass; men who can tell you
all about how the war question should
he settled; the weather, and how to
run other peoples business, but have
made dismal failure of their own"
Judging by appearances, the Mesaba
range papers seem to imagine the
raise in pay at the Chandler and Pho
neer mines here all hoax, The
Chandler and Pioneer today, is pay
ing better wages than any mine in the
Lake Superior country and we wish to
say now that no matter what the
Nesaba papers have to say, this is a
fact. Miners are now receiving So a
day in this vicinity and this is the
same as was paid in 1892, or before
the panic struck US.
However. while it must be SAID the
raise IN pay is a good thing for the
laboring man, it must also be admit
ted that it has it's drawbacks which
crop out at the present time quite
pcrceptably. Every train recently

that comes in has one or more men
and even families that have been
lured here by the raise in pay from all
over the U. S. and Europe. They are
brought here with tickets purchased
by relatives and friends who have
been at work for some time in our
mines. 1t increases the population
but diminishes the laborer's chances.
The time check system in vogue
among the lumbermen is receiving
considerable attention at present and
the legislature will be asked to abolish
the practice by an act this winter.
The injustice to the men working can
readily be seen and it is high time
something was done. There is class
of lumbermen who discount their own
paper and make money while the man
who gets his time check cashed is
forced to discount at a loss from 10 to
20 per cent. Thus the lumberman
gets his labor 10 to 20 per cent less
than others are paying.

of complaint is the dangerous condi
tion of the Ely sidewalks at the pres
ent time. They are nothing more
than a succession of ice ridges making
navigation actually dangerous. The
council might take some action or
this matter, either compel those who
own the adjoining property to keep
the walks clean as far as possible, OF
| take advantage Of the ordinance and
give the prisoners chance to try
their muscle. Now since the county
board has knocked the Duluth sen.

Good Advice to Republican BuSi-

Republican Number Four:

Republican Number Four:
When man thinks that he knows
1t all ii is of little use to try to teach
him anything; so 1 will not try tC
teach you, but only endeayor to per
suade you to do something in the way
OF teaching yourself.
You are aRepu olican. Probably you
"have always been Republican;"but
honestly now, is that good reason
why you should continue to be Re-
publican You are not an Office
seeker, so you can afford to be free
man politically and not cast yourself
beneath the wheels of any political
.Juggernaut. You are professional
man, or BUSINESS man in the larger
sense. You find yourself pretty well
occupied with your own private af-
fairs, but you doubtless begin to real
ize from the experience of the last
few years, that matters of public pol
icy haYe an intimate bearing on even
your personal interests. Then would
it not be the part of wisdom for you
to earnestly try to get at the real
truth of these matters, rather than to
take merely superficial view and
blindiy adhere to certain conclusions
because your party leaders have skill
fully steered you into accepting them'
To tell you the plain truth about
yourself, you and your class are the
most hidebound, narrow, blind, pre-
iudiced partisans on earth. While
superior education and a larger ex-
perience Of the world ought to have
given you broader, more liberal and
more logical views than are held by
those whom you are fond of terming
"the Masses" the truth is that the
average farmer or workingman has
a much clearer conception of the
great truths of political economy
than belongs to the average business
or professional man. This partly
accounts for so many of your class be-
ing found IN the Republican party
today. If you really understood where
your interests lie you would not lie
found acting the cats-paw for the
class, who, In the end, will crush you
as relentlessly as they are now, with
your help, crushing the several strata
below you.
When you think Of the great COM
mon people you think, "they," and
when you think Of the Rothchilds,
the Morgans, the Rockefellers, you
think, "we." You think "our" in
terests are identical and "we" must
stand together; that whatever finan'
cial policy is favored by the great
bond manipulators must of course be
best for you; that whatever industrial
system is best for trusts and aggrega
tlons of capital must also be for youI
best interests. You poor deluded

their baby the live

not because they
are without moth
