The Duluth News Tribune,
through it's indefatigable opposi-
ton to Congressman Bede and its
publication of aught against his
candidacy for reelection, is doing
tie Congressman an nrintentional
favor. Likewise the mut,er,nxs OF
lesser lights in the newspaper field
of the district whose more or less
distinguished editors tailed to land
postofice appointments and whose
political preferences are seemingly
moulded by the pap in sight. While
many throughout the district have
no specific interest in who may or
may not be congressman they are
learning to love J. Adam for the
enemies he has made.

IastalD City Scales.

While it is a trifle warm at pres
ent, perhaps, to think of the long
winter days and the tons of coal re-
quired to keep things comfortable
and make life worth the living, it is
not too early for the city council to
think of an ordinance providing for
the establishment of city scales and
: a city weigh-master.
, No honest man should object to
such procedure, and'the man who
buys coal certainly will not.

: S. w. Giipiu, superintendent of
schools of st Louis county, on Fri.

nomination for reelection. Mr..
Gilpin has held the position for
four years, and 10 recognized 40 an
able man. Thus far no opposition
to his candidacy has developed, aud
It 10 unlikely there will be any.
