LARGE8T ON THE LAKES.

The Duluth, Missabe & North
ern railway will erect a new ore
dock during the coming winter
that will be the largest docks on
the lakes. The matter has been
under consideration for some
time, and very little could be
learned about it. Quite recent
ly the work was decided on and
the plans we're at once placed in
the hands of contractors.
The Barnett Record company,
of Minneapolis, which has built
a great many of the ore docks
around this end of Lake Super.
Tor, has secured the work, and is
already getting the material on
the ground. Two big pile driv.
ers will commence driving the
piles at once.
The new dock will be located
just west of the present ore
docks. The approach will start
from West Third street. and the
dock will be higher than those
there now,
Ore docks are now being built
higher to accom- modate the big
boats. When light they stand
very high out of the water, and
and when there is a high stage
Of water they reach too close to
the pockets on old docks built
before the big carriers came into
the ore trade.

The Enterprise scribe has, up.

to task by citizens for what they
or claimed to consider
almost criminal negligence in
our failure to dwell upon official
acts in our municipal government
Some of these complaints and
rebuffs have emanated from citi.

newspaper to step in "where an

The Enterprise editor has ever
endeavored, throughout his jour.
nalistic career, to subserve to the
utmost of his ability the best in>
terests of the community in which
he lived, and in so doing has at
times had occasion to look up the
legal definition Of libel in differ

said about the freedom of the
press we have learned to bear in
mind that there exists we'll .
defined line regulating what may

through that agency, a knowl-
edge which has taught us to be
circumspect in the publication OF
charges we would or might be
unable to prove.
Therefore, to those complain

The freedom of the press is
one Of the bulwarks of liberty
The free communication of opin
ions is one Of the invaluable and
inalienable rights of an American
citizen, and every citizen may
freely speak, write or print on
any subject, but must ever bear
in mind that he is responsible
for abuse of that liberty.
1t is unquestionable that the
press has great latitude. It has
the right to discuss freely any or
all measures relating to national,
state or municipal governments,
and the right to examine into the
official conduct of all men; and
to expose corruption in public
places. where known to exist,
But it has not the right to injure
a mans reputation without just
cause. It has no right to expose
or hold him forth to public con-
tempt and hatred unless he de-
serves it. The press owes duty
to every individual citizen, and
the author of any communication
for publication should remember
that it is their duty to use every
reasonable means to verify the
truth of any statement deroga
tory to the character or reputa>
ton of another before embOdy>

The man who earns his cash
ia Virginia and goes to Duluth
to buy his clothing. etc., is
a traitor to his town. Anyone
who prospers and earns a liveli-
hood at the expense of a CON-
munity is bound by al the laws
of common interest to promote,
to the best Of his ability, the best
interest of the community where
IN he prospers. Virginia citi-
zens do not have to go to Hein's
for jewelry, or Burrows for
clothing, or to Friemuth's for
dry goods. They can buy in
Virginia, and if imbued with a
proper degree of patriotism will
do so. And the business man, if
properly balanced, will patron
ize the man who patronizes. home
merchants instead of one who
buys his clothing, his furniture,
his groceries, his shoes and his
jewelry in Duluth.
The Hibbing News says that
"next year Gov, Lind will be
asked to recognize a petition
praying that the question of d.
viding St. Louis county be

He called the cashier by name, and be-
gan to talk business at once. The
cashier thought he had seen the stranger
before. His face was rather
familiar, and his conversation indicated
that he took it for granted that he was
knoWn.
SO the bank official assumed a friendly
air, pretended that he knew the other
very well, and fattered himself upon
his cleverness until the negotiations had
progressed to a point where it became
necessary for the cashier to write the
strangers name. After hesitating for a
moment the man who handles other
peoples none turned and adroitly
asked:
by the way, do you spell your name
with an A or nOt?'
A twinkle appeared in the others eyes
and he replied:
NO, l don't use an A"
Then he stopped and permitted the
cashier to turn red and shift his weight
uneasily from one foot to the other,
after which the stranger said:
My name is Smith,"
The cashier then made an abject ac-
acknowledgement and fished a cigar box out
of his desk.

The question as to why Indians paint
their faces so hldeously has long puzzled

WHERE IS THE MONEY TOPAY.

The other day Congressman Cannon,

Senator Norris of Beaverhead asked

WHAT MILES MUST PROVE.

General Miles will soon be on the wit
ness stand to testify concerning the
charge he made that the commissary de-
partment furnished the soldiers at San
tiago and Porto Rico with chemically
treated or emblamed beef. He must show
that not a little, but all the beef served
was not only spoiled, but that it was
chemically treated to preserve it, and
that instead of preserving it the beef was
rendered unfit to be used as food by man.
General Eagan denounced the charge
as false and emphasized his denial of the
charge in language which a court
martial declared was ungentlemanly, and
unbecoming an officer of the United
States army to use. He was punished
for it by suspension from the army for a
certain number of years, but his salary
goes right along as usual. Now it comes

THE OFFICIAL BALLOT.

Removing the party names on the
official ballot would leave many voters
ignorant of the political organization to
which candidates belong. Removing the
circle at the head of the ballot is quite
another thing, and at the same time the
proper thing to do. 1t appears, at this
distance, that the move to place the
names of candidates upon the official
ballot without CHASING them as republi-
cans, democrats, etc, is made for the
purpose of weighing down the amend
ments to the election law to a point which
will insure their defeat. Il
Nothing can be reasonably urged
against destroying the circles at the head
of the official ballot. They are put there
simply to shield the ignorant, or rather
to afford the ignorant an opportunity. to
vote for some other mans choice. He is
taught to count one, two, three cross
and the thing is done. With many, how
ever, the emova of party names upon
the official ballot wOuld work a great
hardship. They would not know the
party for which they desire to vote with
out a personal acquaintance with each
candidate. Take off the circle but have
the ballot otherwise as it has been.

0 WILL BE KING.

There was a time, and not long ago
either. when cotton was crowned king OF
American production. Since then one or
two other products of the land have en-
loved the honor of kingship, and now it
may be difficult to place the crown where
it, properly belongs. But from the fact
that the value of corn as a food product
is universally admitted among those who
have for years held it in little estimation,
prompts the headline of this article:
Corn Will Become King"
Corn is a comparatively new food
product in Europe. The people there are
learning it's value as food. When they
do, it's consumption will rapidly increase.
In the northern countries of Europe corn
will be recognized as a heat-producing
food. When that point shall be gained,
it's consumption will follow, as it is the
cheapest of all breadstuffs and the most
valuable, pound for pound, raised in the
world. The ability to produce wheat is
hardly keeping pace with the multiplica-
ton of the understanding people, and
other food products must be substituted
shut it off the poor mans table. That
substitute will be corn, and hence, in view
Of the fact that though the world is be-
coming richer the masses are becoming
poorer, corn will, in time, yea the kingly
crown.
Corn is an American product, and while
it is grown from northern New York to
Texas, and from the Pacific to the At
lantic. it has its true home in the upper
Mississippi and lower Missouri states.

Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri and
