The Virginia enterprise., 1908-08-28

IS WHILE the only acknowledged
reason for the opposition Of the Du-
luth News Tribune to Congressman
Bede is the fact that he is friend
of Speaker Cannon, it is amusing to
note that the Superior page of that
paper is lending it's earnest support
to Congressman jenkins, on the
Wisconsin side of the bay, because
OF the tact that is friend of Speak
er Cannon. The consistency of the
News Tribune management is a
shining mark.
The MEsABA ORE, which has al
ways been good at handing out ad.
vice to the. Hibbing ball manage
ment, got 80 disgusted with Gill;
gan permitting the White Sox to
make ten scores in one inning that
the editor almost had fit. This is
not the worst exhibition of Gilligan
tor the season, either. In one game
with Virginia the boys felt him for
eleven scores in the first inning and
they didn't have their batting
clothes on, either.
OVER in Wisconsin they have a
man running for congress who can.
not write his own name. But he
has the "dough" and that is what
counts. Furthermore, we remember
the same man, some twenty-five
years since, donating a thousand
plunks to country newspaper in
the Badger state for it's support
during campaign, which evi
dences the fact that he is not above
knowing how to spend it where it
will do him the most good.
CUT out this list of presidential
candidates and paste it where it will
be the most convenient, for before
week passes sombody will ask
you a question that this Clipping
will answer:
William Jennings Bryan, demo
crat.
William Howard Taft, republican.
Eugene V. Debs, socialist.
Martin H. Preston, socialist-la Dor.
Eugene W. Chain, prohibitionist.
Thomas L. Watson, populist.
Thomas L. Hisgen, independence
league.
HIGH words of praise for the can.
didacy of A. E. Pfremmer for the
office OF judge of probate are to be
found in every paper on the iron
ranges, and he is deserving of them.
Nr. Ptremmer is eminently quail
itied for the position he seeks, and
is man who will be found attending
to the duties of the Office in credit
able manner. He has no legal bust
ness which demands his time in
Washington greater portion of
the year, and when he draws his
salary will have right to feel that
tits earned, instead of being graft
on the county funds.
ONE of the most despicable acts
of political vandalism which has
ever come to our attention is the
act OF some scoundrel who, on the
morning following the distribution
OF the campaign cards of the Hon.
J. Adam Bede In this city, quietly
wended his way through the city
picking up and destroying the cards
wherever found. A man who would
do an act of this kind in Virginia,
after the efforts OF our congressman
in securing an appropriation of
$4,000 for the erection of a federal
building at this point, is unworthy
to be recognized as citizen, who.
ever he may be.
HERE is a plan: Start hotel or
saloon in your house. Be the only
customer, you will have no license
to pay. Go to your wife and give
her two dollars to buy gallon of
wiskey, and remember there are
sixty drinks in a gallon. You make
it your business to buy a drink
from your wife and by tn: time you
will have drank up the first gallon
your wife will have the So to put in
the bank and 81 to start business
again. And should you happen to
live ten years and continue to buy
booze from your wife and die at the
expiration of that time, with the
snakes in your socks, she will have
money enough to bury you decent
ly and buy house and lot, educate
your children and marry some re-
specta ble man and never be bother
ed thinking about you. Try it and
see how the thing will pan out.
