WILLIAM G.. SARGENT.
For Sheriff.
OUR UNCLE HENRY.

Tuesday evening was the scene of
the first Democratic rally of the
campaign in Virginia, the occasion
being graced by the presence of
Hon. Henry Truelsen, nominee for
congress, as speaker of the evening
and the party managers did them
selves proud in the ovation tender
ed him.
Mr.. Truelsen came here from
Eveleth, where he had spoken earli-
er in the evening, being preceded
by the Eveleth Star Band, which
aggregation treated our citizens to
some good old democratic tunes
and brought forth a large attend
ance of interested listners.
Mr.. NJ. L. Fay introduced the
speaker in a short address, in which
he also took occasion to question
some of the statements made by
Col. Evans at the Republican rally
on the 10th, and also to make prom
inent mention of county division.
Mr.. Truelsen is no stranger to
Virginians, and as he appeared
upon the rostrum he was greeted by
rounds of applause, and as he
made some particular hit in his
discourse the spirit of Democracy
would break forth in a manner JUS
tilted in soaring the apathy out of
the Republican portion Of the
house. He posed as common
man, man of the people and held
up Democracy and it's candidates
as the party and the defenders of
the laboring class, but in his hours
talk brough4 forth no arguments to
substantiate the ground. He is a
good speaker, however, and as the
standard bearer of the Sixth Dis
trict Democracy is doing a great
and telling stroke of hustling
among the voters of the district, his
mode of campaigning materially
differing from that of the polished
politician, fact which infuses an
unknown quantity in the battle.
He was followed by John J. c.
Davis, Democratic nominee for
sheriff, who addressed the audience
in few we'll chosen remarks.
From here Mr. Truelsen went to
Hibbing and will spend the bal
ance of the week in St. Louis and
Lake counties, holding Sunday
afternoon services at Tower.

AN EXAMPLE OF WENTERN HUSTLE

AN EXAMPLE OF WESTERN HUSlLE.
The Boston Transcript of recent
date contains the following, which
gives deserved credit to our ener-
getic citizens:
1.-THE city of Virginia, near Duluth,
Minn., was destroyed by fire June Z,
this year. All the business portion
was swept away, and 800 buildings
were burned. Since that time the
village has been twice rebuilt, and
it has now business section of SOL
id brick extending for half a mile
along the main street. Immediate
ly after the fire upon every lot that
had contained a building there
sprang up mushroom growth of
temporary wooden structures. Fam
lilies lived in box cars along the rail-
road track, single cars accommo-
dating an entire family with all it's
furniture, from a sewing machine
to piano. The depot was in box
car, and dry goods boxes and cloth
enclosures served as both dwellings,

WILLIAM G.. SARGENT.

William G. Sargent, the nominee
of the republican party for. sheriff,
is also the present sheriff of the
county.
Mr.fSargent came to Duluth when
a young boy, in 1869, and ever since
leaving school in 1877 has been &C.
lively engaged in upbuilding the
commercial Importance of St. Louis
county.
Foryears he was heavily interest
ed inlumber and real estate, having
been manager of the Lakeside Land
company for eight years, and four
hundred beautiful homes in the
suburbs of London and Lester Park
miles of magnificent roadways and
acres of splendid parks attest his
ability while he held that position
Having lost all that he had gotten
together in previous years during
the panic of '93 and the years that
followed, in 1896 Mr.. Sargent turned
to politics. He has twice been nom.
mated; and twice elected to the i'm
porta1t position of Sheriff, and now
aspires to a third term. He is dis
tinct1y&s~man OF the people, Every
body knows him as "Billy Sargent
dnd the record of his official life 70,
the past four years entities him tc
the confidence of the people to a
marked degree, and this, without a
doubt, he possesses.

the city today, going to Tower on

the substantial manner in which
our people had expressed their faith
in the city's future.

AUBURN WILL OPEN NEW LEVEL,
The Auburn mine will be one of
the most active of range properties
during the coming winter. Since
the cleaning up of the stockpile
grounds two weeks since a slight
reduction has been made in the
working force, but the new work
mapped out for the winter months
ensures force equal to that en-

being the intention to open new

Will be created the new
County Of Iron.
VOTE AND VOTE RIGHT.

VOTE AND VOTE RIGHT.
But four days more and the
people of the iron ranges will be
given an opportunity of voting
upon county division, and that the
proposition will carry is now prac-
tically admitted by all-even by it's
most bitter opponents.
We of the ranges believe we are
entitled to self-government, and
base our claims upon undisput
able facts, many of which are set
forth in a pamphlet compiled, pub
lished and distributed under the
auspices of the advisory board of
the division committee.
In this circular it is truthfully
set forth that St. Louis county is the
largest county in the United States
and that two populous centers of
the county are divided by stretch
of 75 miles of unsettled territory.
| 1t is also contended that no coun-
| " LII ll1C ulllOIl Cdll SllO" quill
normal conditions as to dimensions,
population and wealth, and in case
of division our taxes would be ma
,terially reduced, as would also the
personal expenses of those having
business at the county seat; that
division will bring better social
l~0r1ifior1c and r1,o1<0 of tho
a more substantial structure, tend.
ing to bring to us the families OF
many more of our voters.
Aside from the natural advan-
tages of home government and the
tendencies thereof to develop local
conditions, it is also set forth that
of the vast amount of taxes paid by
the rangesv correct figures fo,
which are produced, but a small
infinitesmal percentage returns tC
the ranges for permanent improve
1nents. At the same time, figures
prove the statement that the prC
rata valuations of Duluth and the
ranges annually approach each
other and that while in 1895 the. tax
roll of the county was $1,339,107 o1
which the ranges paid $187,715, in
1899 the tax roll of St. Louis county
was $923,783 of which the ranges
paid $271, 1923, and the pro rata range
tax for 1900 will be much larger.
The opponents of division hold
up the expense of creating and
running a new county, and the cir
cular deals with this matter by
proving that many counties in the
state of Minnesota are run at les
ser expense than is reached by the
annual tax levy of the ranges
showing that reduction in taxa
ton would also be one of the bene.
fits accruing to every taxpayer in
the new county of Iron.
In careful research of the mat
ter we fail to find any valid reason
why range resident should vote
against the proposition, and we be-
lieve but few will do so. And in
the creation of the new county, Du-
luth will lose haught. It will re-
main. as ever, the business center
OF the ranges and the increased de-
veloprnent and population of this
section will assured1y add to rather
than detract from her commercial
Importance and industrial prosper.
1ty, and we believe a large major
ity of the thinking people of the
Zenith City will realize the truth
and effect of this statement and
vote accordingly.
The creating of Iron county is
practically. assured, and no fight
made by it's opponents at this late
hour can affect the vote on Tuesday
next. The people have decided and
the people will win.

CHINA REsIsTs PROGRESS
ALL THE COOLIES WANT IS TO BE
LEFT ALONE.

LEFT ALONE.
The difficulties in the way Of success
for the engineer and foreign capitalist
in China are very considerable. In the
first place, it may be safely asserted
that the authorities actually in power
do not want foreigners. The state
ment one so often sees in articles on
the subject that the Japanese war has
opened the eyes of the Chinese, and
shown them that if they wish to keep
up with other nations they must adopt
more enlightened policy is incorrect,
or, at all events, misleading, because
whatever truth there is in it depends
upon the fact that the statement is
merely to the effect that the enlighten-
ed policy is necessary to enable the
country to progress on the same lines
as the rest of the world. and. in the
opinion of the ruling classes. such
progress is to be desired No such feel
ings exist in the minds OF the majority
or even of considerable minority;
but it is the members of this minority
who are more likely to be appointed
to foreign missions, and whose views
consequently, are most readily i'm
pressed on the European public, and
are naturally taken as representative
of the views of the majority.
Nothing would please the bulk of the
mandarin class better than that for
eign nations should go away and leave
China alone. She has done without
railways. and steam cotton mills, and
mines where 900 tons of coal day
are raised by steam instead Of twenty
tons dragged out by coolies, and she
can do without them now.

THE CRY PLAYED OUT.


From one end TO the other the trail
Of AddiclSsism is marked by defeated
Republicans and victorious Demo-
Gratis. The leaders Of the organiza-
ton which has done this reprehensi-
BILE work in Delaware are the most
desperate that ever have fastened
themselves upon the body polite in
any state in the Union. To surrender
to such men is not to be dreamed OF.
To compromise with them would be to
compound a political felony II j. Ed
ward Addicl1s were considered favor
ably by either side in such compro-
mise. The only decent, reasonable and
safe course for Republicans TO pursue
is to fight Addicks and Addlcksism
until he is driven from the field or re-
tires voluntarily. Half-measures never
avail when dealing with such a public
evil. Il must be stamped out. root and
branch, regardless OF time and sacri-
fee. Words of Cancellation encourage
II in Its work. Those who are in poll
tics from honest motives do not have
to temporize with such a political in
stituton as that which has been erect
ed in Delaware by J. Edward Addicks.
The Republican party has been an
earnest and persistent seeker for har-
moRy with honor. None of these over
lures ever contemplated Addicks as a
party to them or in any sense a bene-
flciary therefrom. They all were based
ON his elimination. Time and again
have the Union Republican leaders en-
tered into pledges which they nevei
kept because they were like putty il
the hands OF their master.
But the-time has come when th,
Union Republican voters are deter
mined that neither J. Edward Addiclu
nor any OF his lieutenants shall stan,
between the Republican party and vic
tory at the polls, and that feeling
which permeates the rank and file o
the Union Republican electorate AM
which Is sinking deeper and deepe
into its convictions, is what is givinl
Mr.. Addicks, Chairman Alice and tn
other men close to them 50 much un
easiness. They no longer can hold th
voters with the cry of "Addicks, or no
body" II is played out. The voter
are recovering their senses. They ar
alive TO the situation, and they wi
act.

RnRR ON EXPANSION.

Among the shades of the illustrious
dead invoked by Senator Hoar to as
sist him in his fight against expansion,
was that Of Aaron Burr.
II we mistake not, Mr.. Burr, in his
day and generation, was more or less
of an expansionist in his own way. A
man who proposes to start with moth
ing but lost political influence and a
secret expedition and found an empire,
certainly is not a contractionist.
Senator Hoar is a smart man. That
Is conceded universally. lie knows the
history of his country and he cannot be
ignorant Of the part that Aaron Burr
played in IT, With the killing of Ham
ilton, the idol of the nation, Burr be-
came an object of his countrymen's
loathing. In the vice-presldency he
was superseded by George Clinton, OF
New York After Burr had taken leave
of the Senate in a valedictOry noted
for its eloquence he went on tour
through the West. While net disclos-
ing his project wherever he went he
left the impression that ne had some
grand scheme in contemplation. 1t was
to wrest Mexico from Spain OF to sci
up an empire in the West and declare
himself its head. lie boasted to Gen
eral Wilkinson, whom he sought TO in
terest in the enterprise, that sever
thousand choice spirits" had pledged
him their support He was ARRESTED
and indicted for treason and for or
ganizing an expedition against a coun
try with which the United States wa.
at peace. He was acquitted, It is true
but the public lost all confidence in hi
integrity and he died in obscurlty anI
disgrace.
So much for the shade of AarOI
