RAINIER has struck new title in

EVELYN THAW has commenced
action for divorce from Harry X.
Thaw on the ground that he was
insane on the day of his marriage.
Looks az though Harry had one
piece OF good luck coming, anyway.
If you have a real interest in the
future of Virginia you will endeav-
or to be present at the Commercial
Club meeting on Wednesday even-

proposition is supposed to hold the

OUT at Miles City. Montana, they
have raised the price of beer to IS

trust prices inaugurated by the
saloon-keepers for their wares
salvation continues to be free in
Montana the same az in Minnesota.
Gov. JOHNSON has az yet failed to
make any definite statement of his
intentions in the field political, but
it wac fully demonstrated at the
Democratic love-feast at St. Paul
on Friday that he is bigger man
in the state of Minnesota than is
William Jennings Bryan.
THE "bread-line" at the Duluth
Bethel finds 125 men looking for
food, but logger who was down
to Duluth during the week looking
for men found but five men in the
city looking for work. A condition
demanding no elucidation to the
wise ones.
A NUMBER of our exchanges be.

men against attacks from anar.
chlsts in the pulpit. A condition
which permits the attacking of the
clergymen of the country by athe'

country press is also to be regretted
MINNESOTA needs more Joseph
B. Cotton's. Men of his push and
untiring energy, of his far-sighted
ness and enthusiastic public spirit
are factors in the welfare of a com
munity, and a greater number OF
men of the same stamp would ex
tend the scope of their uplifting in
fluence.
THE Duluth employment agents
who ship men to range points after
getting their dollar and fare should
be run to earth-and lifted few
feet above terra firma after being
run down. The close of the season
every year brings the same com
plant from the honest toiler of Civ.

Down at Crookston they have a
band of "Holy Jumpers" and the
circus has lost out in interest to the
small boy. One of the faithful lost

OUR loose immigration laws are
largely-yes, almost entirely re.

who recommends that all aliens

his candidacy for the Republican
nomination for railroad and ware

one point that would mitigaRe

that he wae at one time country

THE people of Sparta refuted the
charge 80 freely made by many
that it was the home of the anar-
chistic element Of the range by the
election of the mining company
ticket at the village election on
Tuesday. But the contest between
the two factions must have been
one of unusual interest, several fist
fights marking the progress of the
game and charges of fraud being
now made by either side. The red
faggers have been driven from
every other point on the range, and
it would appear their last stand
had now been lost.

The postal ruling forcing publish.
ers to cut off subscribers from their
lists who have not paid in advance
will be good thing for the legiti.
mate publishers in the long run.
Of course each publisher will lose
money on the start in collecting
these back accounts. Delinquents
who have to be sued will be very
angry at the course the publisher
has been forced to take. But the
final result will be list of the best
class of patrons who pay az they 20
and who are credit to the publish
er and to the community. After
April 1st the people who receive
newspapers will be the best Citizens,

The entertainment and basket
supper given at the Pleasant Rid
ge school last Friday evening was
decide success from all points
of view. The pupils acquitted
themselves in manner of which
both their parents and their teach
er, Mr.. Stanley Kramar, have rea-
son to feel proud. The proceeds
from the sale of the baskets was
very gratifying; the average price
paid for the thirty-6ve baskets
was $3.50. Evidently the young
men of Pleasant Ridge appreciate
both the company and the cook
ing of the young ladies of that vi
cinity. The Total amount includ-
ing personal contributions was a
little over SIS. This is carrying
the monument fund upward with
greater bound.

Consider what the hen does
when she is working, now that her
strike season is on and she ella
mors for rations. The market va
Iue of "Biddy" is about 80 cents
and the value of her daily produce
? cents, or one twenty-6fth part
of her own worth. True, her Ca
reer is short, but long enough for
her to earn her value many times
over, and that cannot be said of
some in this world who have
great pretensions to usefulness.
