The Virginia enterprise. [volume] (Virginia, St. Louis County, Minn.) 1893-19??, 1902-03-28


overlook the successful candidates
Tuesday evening.
THE candidates have robed them
selves in their hustling gowns and
will work double shift from now
until the close of the polls.
TUESDAY is the day that some of
the political aspirants are doomed
to ignominious defeat-just by way
of an April fool joke, you know.
A MAN whose party fealty hangs
by so slender thread a post
office appointment would be small
loss to one party and lesser gain
to another.
WIRELESS telephones are among
the list of possible inventions.
Such discovery would have a tend
ency to "knock out" the value of ex-
listing franchises.
PERHAPS some of our readers may
be able to tell us why Jadam Bede
is entitled to recognition above the
Hon. Page Morris-but suffice it to
say it would not be on account of
his repubIicanism.
THE Barnum Gazette, by Repre-
sentative Noyes, says that "a rotary
pillow will be unable to pillow out Van
SAINT after the next state convention
has done it's work." Noyes must
have been told something during
his winter visit to the state capitol.
INDICATIONS point to an approach
ing settlement of the Boer war, but
it is considered safe bet to wager
that the local POLITICAL war will be a
closed incident before the ratifica-
ton of the treaty of peace, and that
more soreheads will be left upon
the field of battle.
THE egotism OF mankind ma +
lead some men to think themselves
| the only ones capable of holding
certain official positions; but they
should remember that this is free
! country, and that the voter is enti-
tied to an individual opinion even
though it may trend in a different
direction.
THE Hibbing News somewhat
sarcastically remarks that 1.-The
county seat politician begins to
smile blandly and cordially greet
the 'fellers' from the ranges. The
disease is intermittent, and breaks
out every two years. 1t will have
run its course early in November"
The News editor must have recent
ly reviewed photo of the Duluth
porker.
IN our size-up of eighth district
exchanges we fail to find any siren
nous applause greeting the act of J.
Adam Bede in filing his name as a
candidate for the republican nomi-
nation for congress. Mr.. Bede has
heretofore attempted to milk the
same COW, and it looks from this
distance as though his constant
churning of WORKOUT, alleged witt
cisms, might again sour the milk of
human kindness.
THE Biwabik Iron Ore is among
the papers of the district at present
poking a little fun at the ex-editor
of the defunct Mountain Iron Mani
tou, former democratic journal
published at Mountain Iron by Mr..
J.. Adam Bede, who now aspires to
the seat of Congressman Morris,
laying claim to the sympathy and
support of republicans because he
wants job which will be of benefit
to himself in his lecture work.
"A STATEMENT is given out by a
Washington correspondent that the
Indians of the Chippewa reserva-
ton swear vengeance upon A. G.
Bernard for his efforts in behalf of
the opening of the reservation, and
threaten to kill him upon his return
to the state. Bernard has devoted
his lite to country journalism. and
the life of country editor is threat
ened so often that we scarce think
he will neglect returning to the
| state to call this latest bluff.
DESPITE the fact that the special
session adjourned without passing
an appropriation for the publish
ing of the laws enacted, a great
| many of the boys are furnishing
their readers with law Supplements
and trusting to the generosity of a
future body for their pay. The En-
terprise supplements are mailed
with this issue, and we. hope on,
