The Grocery
Business

comes pretty near being a profession,
1t looks easy TO run n grocery. To
most people It seems to he simply
renting n store.room, buying II stock
of goods aud hanging out n sign.
But the truth Is II takes years of
training aud experience To conduct n
thorough grocery, where the best
foods only are sold, where prices arc
never higher than they ought to he,
where the service Is prompt, where all
sorts aud conditions uf tastes are
suited There are hundreds Of lit.le
aims and "outs" to be learned
about the best places to buy, when to
make purchases, how to take advau-
tage OF discounts, and y hundred
other things. We've been learning
how to run grocery for many
years We are still learning We

whether al an ''invigorator" or s'ton-

punitive measures, the Ameer next
commanded the wife to lick off the
milk with her tongue. and the hus-

with 1t, comes the important question
Of street grading. , If the city had to
stand the expense Of grading as some
people think it should, merely be-
cause that was the custom, little
grading would be done. In fact the
city has no rights to grade streets and
pay all the cost. The owner
whose property is benefited by the
grading should pay his share, the
same as for other public improve.

Of the cost Of grading, the city should
have no trouble next year In grading
several streets where this improvement,
is much needed.

FAKE DEGREES.

Clinton, Wis, Banner: 1t was cur.
ious coincidence that just after our
editorial comment last week on bogus
degrees was printed, we should re-
ceive gushing communication from
Tennessee institution notifying Us
that we had been granted the degree
of L. l.. D., doctor Of Laws). Such
degrees, it was said, were only granted
to men who had gained distinction as
educators, statesmen or jurists. As
we had never distinguished ourselves
in either Of the above fields We felt
sure that it was q fake affair, and as
surance was made doubly sure when
We read the document.
~ - All that was necessary for Us to do
in order to become full blown L. L.
D. was to send ten dollars that our
name might be inscribed in the sheep
skin and then the diploma would be
forwarded. The institution offered
even better terms than that, for it
offered tor remit five dollars of the
amount. Just think Of it, to pay on
ly five dollars and have in return the
privilege Of wearing as an adix to
our name the coveted letters. L. L. D.
In all seriousness is it not time that
the various state authorities shut
down these fake institutions. Until
they do the gullibility and vanity Of
weak mortalswho banker after degrees
will always be q source Of profit to
these spurious colleges and univer-
stiles. We personally know. of one
minister who got the degree Of Ph. D
by paying ten or twenty dollars and
pursuing q course Of reading that
would not have taxed the capacity Of
q child.

WHERE IS FOREST :?

Children Disap-

0IuuO 0r6Ve1, formerly OF AlC6lo
Falls, and well known here, was killed
in the woods in northern st. Louis
county, in January, 1909. Mr.. Gravel
was member Of the Little Falls lodge
A. O. U. w.. and left $4,000 insur-
ance to his two minor children. Louis
Forest of Duluth was appointed guar
dian Of the children. Forest has dis
appeared and the money appears t.
have disappeared also. The following
is from the Duluth Herald of Oct.
18th:
Where is Louis L. Forest?
This is q question that many inter-
ested persons whould like to have an
swered with all possible dispatch. So
far as has been learned Forest has not
been seen in Duluth since last Wednes-
day or Thursday.
Recentlyrelatives petitioned probate
court that Forest be removed as guard
ian Of the children of Bruno ..Gravel.
Gravel left $4,000 in life insurance
which was held in trust by the ad-
ministrator to be FUSED as a::means to
educate the two children, Joseph and
Alice Gravel. Forest 1t is alleged
loaned the money as guardian to him.
self as an individual and invested it
in stocks in oil wells in the Beaumont
district In Texas and various mining
schemes In the West. The case has
been on in probate court for several
weeks and at hearing yesterday it
was adjourned for week. Forest was
not present at the hearing.
It is believed that Forest is involved
in other questionable deals. Inter-
ested persons have been searching for
him for the last week or 80. His
Office in the Burrows block has been
locked or unoccupied since last
Wednesday or Thursday, since then
he has not been seen around the build
ing.
Callers at the Office today could get
no response to their knocks. and the
elevator operator said, that Forest had
not been around since last Thursdayi

but efforts to find..h him there have been
futile. People have called at all hours
Of the day but could not find him at

George Mardorf lis administrator of
Gravel's estate. When Forest was ap-
pointed guardian his bond was signed
by a we'll known shipbuilder, Napol-
con Grignon and Joseph Como, in the
sum of $4,000.
Forest is 40 years old and well
known in Duluth. He has been con-
Quoting a general insurance, real
estate and Investment business at 507
Burrows building for some time. He
was candidate for alderman last win
ter.
John E. Davies, an attorney in the
Lonsdale building, who acted as at
torney for Forest in the Gravel case,
denied yesterday that he was Forests
attorney, saying that he simply had
acted for Forest in some business
transactions. When questioned yes
terday he said he did not know where
Forest could be found.

AustraIia's New Capital.

The commonwealth of Australia IN
establishing it's capital follows the ex-
ample originally set by the United
States and afterward emulated by the
Dominion Of Canada. When new
kingdom Is formed, or a new empire,
the metropolis becomes the capital, as
Rome did Of Italy and Berlin Of Ger
many. But with republics 1t is other
wise. The United States turned away
from New York and Boston and Phila-
delphia and created the new city Of
Washington expressly for the purpose
of capital. So Canada turned away
from historic Quebec and Montreal and
selected obscure Bytown as her capi-
tai, happily changing its name to OF
tawa. Now Australia declines Mel
bourne and Sydney in favor of place
which probably not one person in 5000
outside of Australia has ever heard of.
and which few maps show-Tumut. A
change in name is suggested. although
the present designation is sufficiently
odd to agree with Australia, where the
birds walk and the vegetables breathe.

Contemporary Comment
why Lynch Law Prevails.

Once it was sufficient to condemn a
practice in our eyes to call it Euro
bean. Now the pendulum swings the
other way and not only the practices of
the old world are lauded as better than
ours, but even the people are found SUI
perior or better in much. There is truth
in both expositions-we object to one
no more than to- the other-but there
are fundamental differences in condt-
lions and characters and duties it may
not be well to overlook. Let us take an
example from the Philadelphia Ledger:
Lynch law is rarely applied in the
most enlightened countries of Europe.
We are not informed whether this Is
due to speedier and more effective judi
ciaI methods or to the superior activity
and courage of the law officers in deal
ing with mobs desiring to visit Vehge-
ance upon criminals"
In Germany or France Dis man
might beat a little one half to death
and the crowd would wait for police
man to interfere-in England or Amer
lea the "underdog"" would quickly re-
eeive effectual support from public
opinion Now, Is the difference to our
disadvantage? 1t comes from the tenn

PAYING THE PRIZE FIGHTER.

The enormous sum paid in admis-
