The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1898-12-14

UuiS Time. IHe proposition 10 Uuliu
a new city hall, including NUM-
cipal court room, rooms for city Off
GERS, public library, gymnasium, ETC.,
will again come before the people at
the next spring election and there is
no doubt in our minds but what it
will carry. Give the boys some good,
respectable place to 20 to. Good boys
make good men.
Naturally enough, we expected to
get the worst of the deal on the
school question. II there was
ever subject that hurt, it was the
question of schools. One of the par
ents OF the "brats" spoken of last
week, took IL to heart and threatened
US with dire vengeneance on account
of our remarks. We will speak plain
ly and say that anyone who attends
the Ely schools, one of the best insti-
buttons in the state, and can't behave
should be expelled, or sent to the Bed
Wing Industrial School. II there is
one thing more obnoxious than an
other, it is the school boys, or girls,
who do not know enough to act ac-
cording to teaching.
The school question Is an all absorb
ing topic and should be looked after.
In the free public schools Of America
is where our citizens are manufacture
ed. Good scholars make good citiz-
ems, and ditto the other way. Order
must be had and the teachers will see
that it is had il they chase a kid
all over town. That is what they are
hired for. II the half grown men and
women are to run the schools there is
no use of hiring teachers at good
salary. Prof. Wilson will run the Ely
schools and run them right.
Home Industries must be protected
and we are sorry to see so much traffic
between Montgomery Ward & Co.,
Sears Roebuck & Co., and other out
side firms and citizens Of Ely. Goods
can be purchased cheaper in Ely than
in Chicago when you figure freight
and other small items. The local
merchants will see to your every
want. All they require is an assurance
of good faith on your part. Patronsze
home institutions: II you have never
done so, try it.

"ON This OCCASION"
We Remark on Several interesting and True
Subjects and Happenings.

We have heard the expression made
en- several occasions that so-and-so is
4 good fellow. This is all very well,
but 1t has been truthfully said that a
good fellow" is the proper cegnomen
fn ''danphool". Who Is to blame
for good fellow? Whenever a man
furgets his responsibility to God, and
10 his fellow man then he must ex-
meet to suffer the consequences. Pun
ishment may come in way Of imprison-
Basnt or It may come in the way that
n worse to the sensitive nature,
through the pangs Of conscience.
There are few of us who do right, but
SHINE are better than others. This
difference may be due to natural sur
raundings, through the assistance OF
others, or by self will-power strongly
asserted. Many man who has en-
joyed all of the advantages that there
fsto be given has been killed or worse
by fool friends terming him good
fellow" While OH the sermon and
good fellow" we might add that
there has been many good man kill
led by fool friends terming him good
fellow. These fool friends fellsw up
and preach the sermon with ''oh! yes
he's a good fellow, and might make
mark for himself, but" These
.shuts" are what count and they gen.
erafiy come In when a man is anxious
striving to redeem himself. Give
any man-who has the sparkle Of man
hood left in his makeup-a half a
show and he VIII probably be as good
as any preacher. A sin is sin. but
sear should not be lasting. It may
remain In the mind of the wearer
through life but to the world it is
dead and covered or at least it should
be. A man seeking the right road
often deyiates for the lack Of that
cordial, friendly help that is denied
him and extended TO those who are
not In need Of IL.
Dozens Of homesteaders and settlers
have called upon US this week and
gave us the "glad hand" on account
Of our remarks week ago regarding
the appointment Of A. J. Taylor as
deputy for George Chester in the
District Court Office. The settlers
one and all, feel as If a hanging bee
In which Taylor played the principal
part would be good thing. Taylor
is no man for the place and the sooner
Chester finds that out. the better 1t
will be for him and for those who
have business with the office. A man
always has few friends but as to
friends for Taylor among the home
steaders we fail to see any.
Election expenses cut quite figure
in the statements as shown by the
published reports filed with the
county auditor. What beats US, and
Others as well, is the amount of cash
laid out for printing. Our books are
devoid of any accounts. either past
or present, Of any candidate for cleo
tion printing. There is superstition
that newspaper men make all sorts OF
money from the county, local and
state candidates. This is not true
as regards THE MINER. This paper
has not received anything from the
candidates. and did not expect any
thing If the expenses for printing
were so strong, we would much desire
TO know who received the cash.
