A River Survey.

Mr. Edward r. Sherman is in
receipt of letter from Congress
man Bankhead which contains
very assuring information to the
people of this city in the matter
of the i'm provement of the Tom
bigbee river. Tt will be recalled
that Chairman Burton, of the
River and Harbor Committee,
stated some time ago that in
view of the large sum in the
river and harbor fund available
for the continuance of this work
that no river and harbor bill
would be reported at this ses.
eion. 1t was thought at the time
that this would mean necessarily
that the moveme nt for the survey
of the Bigbee at this session
would fail Mr.. Bankhead states
that he is confident he will be
able to secure an appropriation
for this purpose through a
special bill, and this is ali that is
desired at the present time, as
it will place the Bigbee river i'm
project in position
to come before Congress on it's
merit at the next session.

Off Their Trolley.

The Duluth News Tribune of yes
terday contained a narrowing tale
of a party of Ohioans who got a
moose up the line of the Duluth,
Virginia & Rainy Lake, in which
one of the party of skates connected
with the crowd is quoted as saying
that it is the only moose killed in
northern Minnesota this year.
If the gentleman making the
statement gave it in earnest he is
strictly off his trolley, for not less
than five moose have been brought
down over the line of the same
road this season. One of these was
killed by Millwright Munson, OF
the Ash mill in this city, and an.
other by a gentleman named Sch.
wartz, of Ashawa.
In addition to these moose there
was one caribou killed up the line
near Healy's camp, the lucky MIN.

Ny friend, do you believe thor
oughly in a democracy? Then you
believe also that school houses and
school-teachers are cheaper than
jails and soldiers. -. "a
Men have right to- govern them
selves, but unless they are educated
to considera BILE extent they have
not the capacity.
Are there evils in democracy?
Then the remedy is more democ-
racy.
We should thank God not for
things-wealth, lands. jewels and
fine raiment, but for a chance of
growth; a chance to become more

Parents should be glad when the
children ask them to "heaf" their:

The boy that early learns that
slip-shod work kills accuracy will
be success in after years. Slip
shod work done by any one enters
into the character of that one. AS
sin kills character, so slip shod
work kills accuracy. Let no boy
think that the eternal, unchange-
able laws of the material and moral
universe will slip cog now and
then to let him off. AS he cannot
catch the law of gravitation off it's

1t is hoped that parents will help
their children who are in school to
keep regular study hours at home.
Parents should know where their
children are evenings and with
whom they associate. Social events
should be confined to Friday or
Saturday evenings and then so con-
Quoted as not to form cliques, or
stir up jealousies or bitter rivalries.
The public school is a democratic
institution, and nothing should be
allowed in it that will place one set
of pupils apart from or, above the
rest, socially. Parents are urged to
visit the schools at any time and
see the work their children are do
ing. The teachers are willing and
anxious to be of the greatest SER
vice to the children.

NOTWITHSTANDING the fact that
the last Republican state conven.

evident that his election will not be

Bede, in a recent interview in St.
Paul suggested the congressman

candidate in 1906. But Mr.. Bede has
given it out that he is we'll satisfied
with his present plum and proposes
to hold onto same, no matter who
may be putting up up jobs to clear
the track that their own auto may

lands of northern Minnesota: We
believe in the drainage of the
swamp lands, all right, but we also
believe the governor-elect will ap
point some man as executive agent
of the fish and game commission
who will see that the money spent
in looking after the state game
laws is spent to better advantage tc
the preservation of game than has
been the rule in the past. Appoint
ments of deputy game wardens in
the past have been measured to a
great extent by the political pull
enjoyed by the recipient of the
plum or by some of his relatives
but in the case of Mr.. Johnson he
need have little regard for such
things, as he cannot expect himself
