D. M. De Wore of Duluth has
filed for state senator from this
district and will contest the place
with Geo. r. Laybourn. Mr.. De
Wore makes the assertion that
every labor organization in Duluth
will support him and says that 81
can go up to Two Harbors and the
superintendent of the Duluth &
Iron Range road will turn over to
me every vote that the road can
give" This last statement is
rather far fetched and should not
have been made as Superintendent
Owens is not voting his men in
punches. The ballot of today pre-
cludes this possibility in the first
place and secondly we do not think
the superintendent is that kind of
a man. Mr.. DeVore further says:
"There isn't a shadow of doubt
but that LII be elected. Laybourn
can't beat me-" This is nice. if
true, but our opinion is that
Senator Laybourn will be senator
next time the same as this.

The attack of the Eveleth Star
on Grant McMahan is in our opin-
ion, unwarranted and uncalled for.
It is plainly within the province OF
any American citizen to become a
seeker after office when he wishes
and on any ticket he chooses. Had
this not been the case, Bro. Dow
ling would have been in sorry
straits in his campaigns for various
offices. Mr.. McMahan has lived in
Ely since the beginning of the
town and has always been a pub
lie spirited citizen holding several
local positions of more or less i'm
portance. He decided that a COM
missionership for Ely. the largest
voting municipality in the 4th dis
trict, would be of some benefit and
filed for the place. If nominated
and elected, he will be a hard
worker for the district. Capt.
Morcom has had uncontested poses
sion of the pla &c for twelve years
and he certainly has no kick COM
ing. If he is reelected, well and
good. Capt. Morcom is a fine
gentleman and has made a good
commissi oner, but he is not the
only man in the district capable of
doing this and it is for the voters
to say whether he or Mr. McMahan
shall represent them on the county
board. The .Eveleth Star has
trouble enough in its own district
without meddling with the affairs
of others. The Star has much to
say of dictatorship notwithstand-
ing the fact that is has shown
marked tendencies in that line it
self for some time. The voters of
the 4th district will choose between
Capt, Morcom and Grant McMahan
on Sept. IS.

is being anihilated. There is no
game warden within III miles of
Ely. The state game. and fish COM
mission, of which Sam Fullerton is
the head and hoofs, persists in
watching the game in sections
where there is the least possibility
of there being any to speak of and
leaving the game sections without
protection. The few bull heads
and catfish in the Mississippi river
near the Twin Cities cost the state
quite penny.

The platform as advocated by N.
f. Hugo in another column should
be good enough for any fair mind,
ed voter to consider. The senti-
ments as expressed in his announce
ment are meeting with approbat-
ion from out-of-the district papers.
Some even have gone so far as to
ask their prospective members of
the legislature to issue a platform
patterned after that of Represent
ative Hugo. Not eeonly this but
boquets as the next Speaker of the
House are being thrown his way.

GOMPERS ON THE
"STAND PAT"
DOCTRINE

In view of the contest now I'm pro
gress between Organized Labor and
the leaders of the republican Parry.
IT, is interesting to- know what tho
labor leaders think about maintain
ing existing conditions" or standing
pat On this point. Mr. Samuel
Gompers. speaking before "A commit.
tee of congress on March IA. 1906.
used the following very significant
language:
u think that all through history
you can find that same appeal aud
plea made by everyone who proftted
by the unjust conditions which OBJ
tanned at that time. Those who pro.
TIT by injustice. those who profit by
mal-administration, those who pro-
III by unjust laws, those who profitted
by human slavery, i'm all cases and in
all ages have urged those i'm whose
power it was to make a change to
maintain existing conditions" 1t has
been the reputation of such claims

The world, and that has established
wen the republic Of our country.

Weening boss, every greedy corpora
non, every discriminating railroad.

from a wrongful condition OF affairs
VIII urge the advantage OF main
tanning existing conditions"
The further fact that the Labor
leaders have determined to try and
defeat Speaker Cannon, the stand
pat leader, shows which way the peo-
litical wind blows. This is a demo-
cratic year for the people who are
urea OF republican procrastination.

THE ELUSIVE DIME.

Maybe you have noticed the scare
ity of dimes. StatisticIans have dis
covered that. although more dimes
are being turned ont OF the minis
than ever before, there are fewer
than ever before in circulation. II Is
said that there is now so great de-
mand for dimes and such a scarcity
OF them than the controlling CON
Germs. who make "a business OF put
ting up coins In packages, are saving
them up, with a view 10 getting a
premium on them. A famine I'm dimes
would be serious affair. Even now
there are only three dimes per capita
in circulation.
The modest little coin performs
many of our most vital
functions. II Is with the dime that
the fastidious person gets his shine"
and the hard-luck one his meal
The dime buys a rose with which
man summons the flush OF happi-
ness to his wifes cheeks. and Il
buys the drink with which he drives
hope from her heart and peace from
his home
The dime is TO the child what the
dollar is to the parent-the unit OF
his calculations and the goal OF his
desires. IT sometimes seems as If
the boy would rather have a dime
than quarter.
This brings MS to the dime
banks" which are the real cause. per-
haps, Of the famine
The penny-in-the-slot machines are
held responsible for the scarcity of
pennies; street cars and automatic
music and picture machines accu-
mulate the nickels but there is no
particular contrivance i'm general use
that gathers dimes into the boxes of
corporations.
An official in Washington suggests
that the country is so prosperous that
people keep dimes in their pockets
to hear them Jingle But other coins
jingle quite as well Besides, the trou-
BILE is that the dimes are not in the
peoples pockets, but in mysterious
hiding.
No doubt the dime banks" hold
most of them And if the scarcity of
dimes is the measure of saving. we
can cheerfully grin and get along
with the other coins.
Since 1892, when the dime was
established, TO the present, there
have been coined 52O,OOO,OOO dimes.
But the slight relation which the to-
tai coinage. or even the amount out
standing, bears to the amount in cir
culation is shown in the fact that it is
reported by the Treasury that there
are still outstanding about 10000
half cents. 2S,0OO.OOO two-cent
pieces. and 2O,OOO,OOO nickel three
cent pieces which no one ever secs.

human being has yet been guilty of
in the entire history of American
