on THE SELFISHNESS OF CITIZENS.

on THE SELFISHNESS OF CITIZENS.
The fundamental idea of govern
ment is union of citizens bound to-
gether for mutual protection, each
sacrificing some liberties in order to
gain greater liberty as member of
the partnership.
Freedom of the individual must not
be ground down for the strength OF
the government, nor can the power
Of the nation be weakened by the sell
fshness or license of the Individual
There must be happy blending of
central strength and liberty of the
single person. If either predominant
it is no true government.
The great AssyriaI and Egg ptian
Empires were not true governments
because they crushed out the mind
and individuality of the person, leav-
ing him 20 labor on the same pro
scribed rut year after year. The re-
yet it lacked the vital force of inspira-
ton, which springs from individual
liberty. The pyramids exact, perfect
and cold reflect their character.
Among the Greeks, however, we
find everything sacrificed to the
whims and caprices Of the single man.
They undoubtly accomplished great
and wonderous things, but the lack of
a strong central power came near to
destroying every effect of their achiev
ments. Had it not been for the law
and sword of Rome, the esult of their
art and oratory would have melted
away "as breath unto the wind +"
The English speaking people con
s:der that they have the two principles
of government blended in the right
proportion; and many things il our
history tend to confirm the ASSUME
ton. The strength of unity and per-
sonal liberty seem to have grown up
side by side. The magma Charta and
the Constitution teach mat these two
are IN perable, we can sway neither
to the -despotism of Russia nor to the
anarchy of France. The recent assas-
nation of Mckinley was an outbreak
of the liberty, or rather the license Of
the Individual If this nation is to
add another stone to the tower of
civilization, it c,ust quell this uprising
of the person, and heed the words Of
Webster, Liberty and union, one and
inseperable, now and forever

A Satisfied Douglas Go. Farmer

One OF the enthusiastic Douglas
County farmers is Alex Benson who
was in the city Monday. Last spring
he purchased farm of 14O acres of
now cleared, and is SO highly pleased
with his purchase at IS per acre, that
he has acquired another tract of 40
acres and says he would not take $50
an acre for the first lot This is only
one case out of many who have bought
Douglas County land at a low price
and which has already materially ad

t.Only DuluthianS Drunk.

The only people that were drunk
Sunday were the people from Duluth
and we could not arrest them," was
the way one policeman put it this
morning in explaining the fact that
only one man was arrested for drunk
enness Sunday. The one lone man
was Erick Holm and he was fined, the
amount with costs making s7-Tele-
gram.
What our people would like to know
is why a dweller on the rocks is ex-
empt from arrest for being drunk
Sunday, while Superiorite who in
dulges in an overdose of tanglefoot is
placed in durance vile.

A smiling depot. where firmness meets

THE SELFISHNESs OF CITIZENS.


1t is the natural tendency of man
kind to be selfish. Out of all the acts
a man performs in his lifetime, few if
any, are purely unselfish. Seltishness
is as much part of us as our heart is
and therefore cannot be eradicated
from our nature, any more than that
important organ can be Eliminated
from our body. Selfishness is a con-
dition in the life of man that cannot
be overcome.
There are many kinds Of selfishness,
one of which, for instance, is the sci
fishness of citizens. In this case it is
more often benefit than detriment.
Patriotism is a form of selfishness.
Were it not for seitishness this coun
try, state or city would rot be what
they are today If Superior's citizens
had not been selfish, she would never
have the many industries she now
has. Where would our country be
today were it not for the fact that our
ancestors thought more of self than
they did of George III? Selfishness
of citizens is blessing, not curse.

HIGH SCHOOL ITEMS

The visitors at the high school this
week have been more numerous than
ever before. The inspir alton to en-
! deavor on the part OF the students
from this source is of great import
ance.
Mr.. Perry Extrand. of the Ameri-
can Heating Co, has warmed the
Students hearts considerably by the
prospect of warm shower baths at his
expense. The expense of the install
lation will also be borne by Mr.. Ex-
trand.
The sympathy of the entire student
body was with Charles McKinnon and
his people this week in the sudden
death of Charles sister from dipthe
ria
The danger of infection from both
diptheria and smallpox seems fairly

debarred pupils are being readmitted.
