Congressman Jenkins will renew
his efforts at the coming session of
congress to have Port Wing made a.
Harbor of Refuge. An appropriation
for this purpose has been recon-
mended by the secretary of war, and
was incorporated 10 the River and
Harbor Bill which was "talked to-
death" by Senator Carter, of Mon
tana, in the closing hours of con-
gress An examination and survey
of the harbor was made under the
direction Of Major Sears couple of
years ago, and in his report he fay
ored the harbor of refuge plan,
which had been Incorporated i1to a
bill by Congressman Jenkins. It is
estimated that the work will cost
less than $500 Port Wing is ON
the north shore of Lake Superior
about midway between this city and
Duluth, and as a sheltering harbor
would provide safety from storms
for all boats caught out in Lake Su-
perior, going either up or down
the lake. Major Sears recommended
a plan for the construction at the
entrance, two parallel piers 200 feet
apart and 800 feet long, and the con-
struction at the inner end of the
east pier of a square return pile
revertment. and the dredging of d
channel $50 feet wide and fifteen feet
deep to extend five hundred feet up
a slough that exists at the end of the
proposed piers. The port can be
very easily converted into refuge
that will hold the whole Lake SUI
perior fleet. Port Wing is the
northermost town in Bayfield, coun-
ty.

A blushing young swain and a fair
damsel interrupted the regular
course of business in Judge Warden S
justice shop one day within the past
week, and as the Judge looked up
from over his glasses and eyed the
visitors he inwardly commented:
''By gum here a job and he i'm
mediately became all smiles as he
| thought of the fee that was liable to
be forthcoming, as this most surely
must be a case where none OF the
revenues had to be turned over to
the county custodian Of fees, up on
the brow of the hill. He smilingly
inquired what he could do for his
visitors, and they Nhesitatingly re-
piled that they wanted to get mar
ried. " The license was produced,
and the Judge consented to tie the
knot. They were strangers-these
loving young people. and appeared
all unattended. The Judge had a
couple OF other visitors, they being
District Attorney Mcleod and John
A. Jacobs. Now the judge has more
than the ordinary respect for the
sanctity of the marriage service, and
he did not propose to have any I'M
ceremonious weddings in his temple
of Justice so he commanded Mr.
Jacobs to give the bride away, and
Mr.. Mcleod acted as best man. The
ceremony then proceeded, and in a
remarkably short time the fair young
couple were man and wife. The
groom. hardly knew what was going
on before it was all over, and then
he protested that there had been
nothing in the ceremony where he
presented the bride with ring as a
part of the ceremony. 'See. [ have
it here in my pocket" ''Well, we
will fix that said the Judge, you
| just put that on her finger and it will
be all right" And while the ring
was being adjusted the judge kissed
| the bride and commanded the parent
proxy and the best man to do the
same. Mr.. Jacobs is said to have at
tempted a response, but Maxwell,
for once Mac piked.
Judge Warden, with two plunks in
ais pocket, bought fresh supply of
ammunition for his rifle, and was
not seen again for three days.

PROFESSOR EAToN.s sTAnp.

II ROFESSOR EATON is to be
congratulated and commended
for the stand he has taken
against professionalism OF the High
school foGJaall team. His insistence
that none but bona ide students of
the High school shall be permitted
on the football team is eminently
proper, and will be welcomed by all
honest lovers of amateur sport.
To permit a student who has grad
uated from the school to come back
aud. By taking a special course of
study, to become member OF the
football team is virtually sanction
of professionalism. If this opening
wedge we're permitted, it would be
but a short time before professionals
would be the rule, and genuine stu
dents the exception on the football
teams. Such system would eventu-
ally ruin the sport, for one of the
principal attractions to games be-
tween schools and colleges is that all
the players are actuated purely by a
loyalty to their alma mater and a
love of sport. To introduce outsiders
in the guise of special course men
must eventually cause the public to
lose interest, and, consequently, bring
about a decadence in collegiate and
High school games.
There is still another side to the
question which is vitality important.
1t is at school that the love OF
sport Is inculcated If the rules
there are lax and any semblance
of professionalism is tolerated, the
student must become contaminated
and can never grow up with the
same high regard of sport, for its
own sake, as he would have if he
were taught that the untarnished
honor Of his team was worth far
more than victory.
Professor Eaton's stand is wholly
unassailable, and he viii receive the
cordial support of all lovers Of anna
teur sport in the community.

SIMPSONS BAD TASTE.
A DMIRAL SAMPSON made Z

4 DAIiRAL SAMPSON made an
IA unaccountable blunder when
4 he requested to be represented
By counsel at the court of inquiry
that is row investigating the conduct
of Admiral Schley during the Span
ish-American war
The prompt refusal which the re-
quest received should have been
foreseen by anyone with the least
regard fox the proprieties of the
case. There is only one man on
trial, and that man is Admiral
Schley It is his characte- that is
being investigated, and his conduct,
not the relative merits of himself
and Admiral Sampson. There is,
therefore, no more reason why the
latter should be represented by
counsel than that any other officer
connected with the investigation
should be allowed attorneys.
Had the court acceded to the re-
quest Of Sampson it would have
opened a loophole through which the
inquiry must have degenerated into
81 continuation of the worn-out
Sampson Schley controversy, a dis
cussion wholly irrelevant to the bust
ness before the tribunal. 1t is not
for the judges to decide whether
Sampson or Schley won the battle of
Santiago, or which is the better of
fico-. The whole scope Of their in
vestigation is to make it clear
whether Admiral Schley is a disgrace
or credit 20 the navy, whether he
Is a coward or a capable officer,
whether he or Maclay is a liar.
1t is true that there have been ques-
tions Pr, as TO the conduct of Adj
miral Sampson at certain times
But these, as the defense explained
we're solely for the puspose of JUST
flying Admiral Schley's actions un-
der similar conditions, and not to re
feet detrimentally on Aduiral Samp-
son. 1t is clear from the tenor OF
the courts remarks in these In
stances, that, if it allows facts of
this sort to be brought out, it will be
only for the purpose of vindication
and not as a ruse fo- attack.
The only way Admiral Sampson
can be affected by the findings OF
the court would be in the event of
Schley's being found guilty Of all
Maclay's charges against him. In
that event the claim of Sampson to
all the glory as commanding officer
-sea-stc victory off Santiago would be
min, keachable. But it surely can
