hypocrite and a time server and you
will not miss his size by far.
"A MAN may wear what he wants
to-" says J. Pierpont Morgan, $50
long as he pays his tailor" In
that harsh, qualifying clause is
found the reason why large num-
Der of men don't wear what they
want to.
IT has been estimated that should
anyone desire to purchase the rail-
ways of the world his outlay would
amount to something like $38, O00O0O,-
600. A chance for the country edi-
tors of Minnesota to pool their cap
ital and make paying investment.
For the thousandth time the
health officials are proclaiming the
discovery that the mosquito is re-
sponsible for yellow fever. But it
is the green slime which is per:
mitted to lay in the bitches along
side the streets which is responsible
for typhoid epidemics.
Gov. JOHNsoN's advice to young
men, in contribution to the Sept
o.>>a>er ~, n, beg IF Ma.a a--<a W ON Ell =
is "Be honest; do not waste any
time, and you will succeed" The
advice is brief but it contains the
essence. The young man who: fol.
lows it cannot help but succeed.
EVER get interested in a '1ocal
short-stop" in the country journal
only to find it turn into a patent
medicine ad. or boost tor the best
kind of booze-if there is any best?
And then did you ever stop to cuss
the editor for filling the columns Of
his paper with such "6lling" athalf
the rate charged the local merchant
for similar service?
WE note that number of our ex-,
changes have commenced to re-
mark on the probability of St.
Louis county having a candidate
for the republican nomination for
state auditor next year. If so, the
candidate will be the persent coun-
ty auditor, Odin Haldin, and more
competent man cannot be found in
the state of Minnesota. :
The ELY MINER says that while
the court house squabble is going
on at would be we'll for the ranges
to take up the matter of Iron coun-
ty and keep it going" All that is
needed is a start, and the ball will
roll of its own accord. But the
quicker it is set rolling the larger it
will be by the time the proposition
is again submitted to vote.
VIRGINIA carries larger and bet
ter stocks of goods than any other
city on the iron ranges, fact which
is evidently appreciated by the
people of the smaller villages and
cities surrounding. You can buy
anything here that you can buy in
the larger cities, and the keen COM
petition among merchants is safe
u guard against unjust prices. :
WHILE the time for the closing of
all saloons in the "Indian country"
and the confiscation of all liquors
found within the territory included
has passed it is not found necessary
by any to go out of their usual route
to get a drink of rye or corn juice.
The scare made a. few nice head
lines for the daily press, however,
Thereby serving a laudable end.
i ABOUT time a deputy game war
den for this section was being ap:
pointed: The neglect of the state
',fcommission to have-a live warden
at some central range point has
J, resulted in the killing off of the
Igame supply Of the section, and
lseeing that the horse is already
!, stolen it is due the commission to
IIiappoint some good fellow at q
fat salary to see that no harm comes
Ito the 1aw-breakers. 49,
