The Virginia enterprise. [volume] (Virginia, St. Louis County, Minn.) 1893-19??, 1904-11-25

BRO. DOWL1NG, of the .Eveleth
Star asserts that "Van SAINT and COL
Inns are dead, dead, dead Alice
samee Dunn, Dunn, Dunn.
AFTER reading the comments of
his brethren of the unpurchaseable
country press, it is presumed that
Robert c. Dunn will lay still.
A SPECIAL session of congress
for the purpose of pruning the
tariff and establishing a. law, code
for the Panama isthmus will in all
likelihood be called by President
Roosevelt.
THE deer hunters will be pleased
at little snow for the closing days
of the season. While many car
casses have been brought in during
the past week, little snow is a
great assistance in "chasing flags"
WELL, boys, the state and nation
al election il over, and it is now
time to dig in for county division if
Legislative enactments are to be ap-
piled for in the attempt to give the
ranges the relief to which they are
entitled.
THE fifth trial of TX Mayor Anes,
of Minneapolis, tor malteasance in
office, will open on Monday next.
1t is to be hoped that the Doctor
will be either convicted or cleared,
that the press of the Twin Cities
may have greater. space to devote
to more interesting topics:
THE Chicago American is already
plugging for National Demo-
cratic ticket in 1908, and names
Folk, of Missouri, and Johnson of
Minnesota as the proper persons to
head the same. The combination
would prove drawing card to re-
spectability.
THE TWELFTH STAR wants to
know whether or not the Democrat
tic party in Duluth will show the
ga me breadth of liberal distribution
of political patronage to the ranges
that the Republican party has
shown in the past. It's a safe bet
that the ranges will fare quite as
we'll, at least.
THE blasting of the safe at the
Virginia Office of the Duluth & Iron
Range twice in the same week
would look as though someone was
practicing mp on the use of explo-
sives that they might know more
about the amount necessary to do
certain piece of work at some
future date.
THE CLoQUET INDEPENDENT as
serts that until Bob Dunn's defeat
has been revenged there will not be
any great chunks of harmony float
ing about through the ranks"
This would seemingly indicate that
the Republican party is up against
it for an indefinite period, one
which will remain indefinite.
THE question as to who may be
the next mayor of Virginia already
suggests itself and is occasionally
spoken of. Had election been on
Sunday afternoon, however, it
would have been most one-sided
affair favorable to retention of the
present officials, if one may Judge
from the public endorsement given
Mayor Fay.
INDIAN weather prophets predict
a very mild winter, filled much sun
shine, little snow and few billiards..
Their predictions are based to a
great extent upon the provisions
made by the muskrat, the long
tailed denizen of the streams, which
animals this year are building very
poorly, and instead of following
their usual avocation of this sea son
by piling brush and grasses for a
winter home are to be found lazily
en- oying the November sunshine.
| THE ENTERPRISE this week gives
publication to an article bearing
the signature of P. A: Coffey, presi-
dent of the city council, touching
upon existing conditions in the city
relative to the status of the saloon
business. We have no comment to
M axe, further than that our
columns are ever open to all citi-
zens for the discussion of any
matter in which the people of the
city as whole are interested, so
long as the article bears the sigma
ture of the writer, for publication
R.C.DUNN, in an explanatory state.
