"a NEWSPAPER may boom a town
through it's editorial and news COL
umns, but a critical investor looks
to the advertising columns for sub.
stantial evidence of push and life.
To him they are thermometers
measuring the intensity of public
warmth. They are the pulse which
indicates the healthy condition OF
the collective body of the people
They tell him whether or not the
community is up to the times in
business matter.

TAFT looks for votes in the Phil
ipines and Johnson makes a tour
of the south. And all the time the
people of the United States keep
telling Roosevelt he must make the
sacrifice and consent to man the
ship another trip.

The toll charges instituted by the
telephone company between BIZ
wabik and Eveleth and Virginia
have been abolished after warm
scrap of thirty days duration, and
the company returns to the arrange
ment formerly in vogue. A good
live scrapping community, when
acting as a body, usually gets what
it goes after.
EDITOR KOEN, he of the Aurora
Biwabik hybrid, invites libel suit
in one breath in his last issue and
sues for pardon in another. The
object of his attack and of his
solicitude is Supt. Williams, of the
Stephens mine. And we presume
Mr.. Williams is greatly worried
over the bad opinion of him carried
by the Aurora Biwabi scribe.
If one should read the bouquets
thrown at the Minnesota & Inter-
national road on the completion of
it's line to the Canadian border they
might believe it was the first road
to open connections with the north
country. But the impression would
be wrong; the Duluth, Rainy Lake
& Winnipeg was first to reach the
border by several weeks, and opens
up a territory rich in timber and
prolific in prospective mineral and
agricultural resource.

CITIZENS of Two Harbors, to the
number of upwards of 200, have
petitioned the city council to es.

The Western Federation still
claims that it is in position to and

time about taking q second bite.

UNDER the Interpretation of the
law by the attorney general the

the Clubs would be immune, un.

Tuesday next, when the boards of
registration in the several wards
will meet for registration and cor
rection of lists. Thus far the pros

quiet affair, but it will doubtless be
made plenty interesting for the

the trial of James and Philip stroth-
er. His testimony is regarded by
The defense as of vital Importance to
their side, he being expected to de.
velop that both the strother brothers

night they killed Bywaters. After
Or Clark's testimony the trial will

the strother brothers were seized
with an uncomfortable emotional in
sanity the night of the shooting

which they had been subjected.

The rebuttal witnesses were called
mainly to show that when Bywaters
married Viola strother he made full
reparation for the wrong alleged to
have been done her, and the shoot
ing, therefore. was not justified.

portant features that have already
been presented to the ury by their

tons with the dead man and with
her love for him, Mrs. Bywaters told

promise of marriagei of her plead
ings with Bywaters to make repara-
ton; of Bywaters's insistence of q
criminal operation; OF her refusal at

NEW YORK, March & To-day seq
sion Of the Thaw trial was made cot
able by District Attorney Jerome
placing himself in a position Of
openly defying the prc.iaiug judge.
The district attorney declined TO sub.
nit certain authorities u Justice
Fitzgerald on the ground that the
question of law involved was so Gle.
mental and the authorities 80
abundant that he must assume the
court to have knowledge of them
Fitzgerald admonished the district
attorney that it was his duty To sub
nit authorities called for and said he
would assume that If the district at
torney declined to do so that he did
not know of the existence of any
such authorities.
During he debate between The
Judge and Jerome the latter seemed
defiant, While Justice Fitzgerald
seemed to retain his judicial calm
with great ofrort.
The point under discussion was as
to whether or not the district at
torney on discrimination could
take a wider scope than he permit
ted counsel for the defense on the
direct examination.
Justice Fitzgerald sustained the
position taken by the defense. Je-
rome took occasion to declare that
the legal assumption before the court
is that Thaw is now insane. Jus
tice Fitzgerald upon this point call
ed for authorities precipitating the
scene with the district attorney.
DR.. Wagner was under cross-e1-
animation at the time. He was on
the stand all morning.
