PUBLIC FAIRGROUNDS.

The public playground movement is
engaging the attention Of thoughtful
persons in many parts Of the country
1t is a movement which concerns the
people Of all cities and villages, and the
health and happiness Of children IN
general If the youth Of today are to
grow into upright, vigorous manhood
and womanhood, their lives should not
be stunted by depriving them Of priv
leges which are rightly theirs.
DR.. Luther Quick Of New York IN
recent lecture on the subject Of the
playground movement gave five reasons
why there should be more public play
grounds:
First. because so many accidents to
children occur through their playing on
the streets.
Second, because Fairgrounds lessen
juvenile crime.
Third, because Fairgrounds are con
ducive TO the health Of children.
Fourth, because boys and girls need
to learn to govern themselves, and &C
ouire the kind Of self control that comes
from discipline on the playground,
where the government is largely that OF
public opinion.
Fifth, we need Fairgrounds and we
need knowledge Of how to better use
our legal holidays, that we may convert
the Fourth Of July from day in which
children are killed, property is burned,
and people are annoyed, into day on
which the whole community co operates
in splendid festival that brings togeth-
or the various elements Of the city, pro
vides athletic games and celebrations
for children, and inculcateS the value OF
liberty.
The playground movement is certain
" a commendable one, and should be
given attention in Mineral Point. The
reasons above stated why the movement
should be encouraged are valid reasons.
w. H. DeLacy, judge of the juvenile
court Of the District of Columbia re-
Gently said:
II regard well equipped and efficient
Iy supervised Fairgrounds as one OF the
most effective means Of saving city
children from violations to which they
are peculiarly exposed and predisposed
by the pressure and complications OF
modern urban life"
One has well said that when a boy
goes out on the street and cuts up some
deviltry it is not primarily because ne
is inherently vicious, but because he is
inherently energetic-as he ought to
be-and the thing for us to do is to
provide him with something to do that
is wholesome.
Although Mineral Point is not very
large city, problems in dealing with
boys and girls that confront large cities
confront us. Let us give every possible
encouragement to efforts to provide
parks and Fairgrounds, where children
may meet in the open, enjoy innocent
amusements, and be kept away from
temptations and alurements which de
base and destroy young womanhood
and young manhood.

A LOCAL PHASE OF / Ii l.
TARIFF ESTION.

Recently Ernest G. Fielder of this
city received from Senator 7. P. Gore
a letter inquiring as to the state of cur
rent and public sentiment in this section
in regard to the pending tariff bill.
Following is Mr.. FEEDERS reply:
Mineral Point, Wis, May 10, 1909.
Hon. T. P Gore, U. S. Senate, Wash
ington, D. G:
Dear Sir-Replying to your inquiry l
beg to say that much interest is mani
tested in this locality in the pending
Tariff bill. You ask whether the
people generally favor this measure and
to that inquiry l answer No. When
the President convened Congress in
special session we assumed it was for
the purpose of revising the tariff down
ward and not upward. The President
and the people certainly expected an
honest revision.
There is a feeling among the people
that the pending tariff bill ignores the
West and Middle West, and that it is
designed largely to protect special in
terests in the East and South. Many Of
the schedules in the bill are framed
without regard to the rights of the CON
sumner.
l beg to call your attention to that
provision of the pending tariff bill
which provides for tariff on zinc ore.
There is considerable zinc ore mined in
this locality The higher grades of zine
ore are locally referred to as Black Jack
while the lower grades of zinc ore are
locally referred to as Dry Bone. The
pending bill does not discriminate be
tween the two kinds of zinc ores. The
quantity of Dry Bone produced in this
locality is very small and would have
no value whatever except for the
Mineral Point Zine Company which
purchases all of tho Dry Bone produced
in this dictrict. All the Dry Bone pro
duced in what is known as the South
west Wisconsin mining district would
not be worth a dollar except for the
Mineral Point Zine Company.
The pending bill, as | understand it.
provides for one cent pound duty on
the lower grades of zinc ore known as
Dry Bone as well as on the higher
grades of zinc ore known as Black
Jack. After purchasing all of the Dry
Bone produced in this district the
Mineral Point Zinc Company is driven
to Mexico for more Dry Bone. All OF
the Dry Bone produced in this district is
only about one tenth of what the Zinc
company here actually must have il
order to maintain its plant at Minera,
Point. The Zinc Company is simply
forced to secure ore from Mexico.
If the pending bill becomes a law il
will in all probability force the Zinc
Company to close its plant here and

Keep On Learning.

Milwaukee Journal: Education is
something never finished. The highest
schools can do little more than give the
mind a good equipment to go on learn
ing. The best teacher is he who most
incites his pupils to thought and de
sire to learn.
The mind should be kept active and
quick in observation. One man may
go through a forest and not even see
fire wood. Another with mind trained
to activity not only sees fire wood, but
pictures the homes where it will be
used and the lives of the jewellers in
those homes. He sees ties for a rail
road and the country, the cities, the
commerce and the people whom this
railroad will affect These and many
other thoughts come to the mind Of him
up from what he sees.
By thinking the mind grows. No
field is barren to the thinking mind.
Something of interest or Of use is to be
CLEANED everywhere The thinking man
is reader to see the connections be
tween things and comprehend cOndi
tiOns. He can be more useful because
he can better adapt himself to circum
stances. He is reader to devise ways
by which circumstances may be turned
to advantage.
The eye and the hand should be
trained with the mind. A mans
education can then be made more use
full. The aim of education should be to
fit us to get the best out of life and to
give the best that is in us to life. In
giving we are getting.
The unframed mind finds pleasure in
but few things. The world is a dull
place for him without some excitement.
A fight, fire, or scandal, especially
the last, are meat and drink to him.
He may occupy himself in money get
ting but money does not bring to his
mind the higher uses that can be made
of it.
Keep thinking and learning some
thing useful as long as you live and old
age need have few terrors for you.
| Delightful knowledge is useful know
ledge. In the smallest thing is a mes
sage for you if you can but read it. A
full mind gives you richer that no one
can take from you.

there is a greater demand for men pre-

Bachman has had charge of Hosea's

A few days ago word was received
here that the wagon and one horse
were in a livery barn at Aurelia. An
auto was chartered at once and a
party went over to investigate. They
found that Bachman had sold one of
the horses, worth about 500, and a
$50 job Of rods to Hanson, the livery
man at Aurelia, for the total and
magnificent sum Of $50 and had de-
parted for lands unknown. Mr.. Jew

man holds the rods, and every effort

This comes as shocking surprise
to people here, as Mr.. Bachman has

munity. He has been drinking heav-
lily Of late and has gone the route
that many young "booze fighter

Frank Frye, accordingly, was pre-
pared, and Immediately Finnell got
into town, he was arrested and taken
to the court house. He told some
kind of story of collecting for med
ical treatment, and being the agent
for people back east, but it is not
undervtood here just what kind Of
a charge they will hold him on at
Starkweather. He claimed to have
made over $4,000 at the graft, and
put up $3.50 bail without any COM
plant He was allowed to go free,
on his promise to come back to the
court house this morning.
Within twenty minutes after he
had put up his bail, Deputy Frye
heard that he was on his way out of
town with the automobile, having
told several people that he was on
the road to Grand Forks. The tele-
phone was again called into service,
and Finnell was stopped while pass
ing through Lakota, going east with
the greatest amount of speed he
could make. This time he was
brought to the jail, and put into a
cell for safe keeping.
This morning he was taken with
his wife to Starkweather where he
will have a hearing before the JUS
tice court there. He did not want to
be seen with a law officer, and so
agreed to pay the extra expense of
sending a special deputy with him to
Starkweather on the automobile,
Deputy Frye and States Attorney
Duell took the train. There are sew
eral people at Starkweather who
want to lay complaints against him,
and they will all have their hearing
some time this afternoon.

it is reported that their outfits and
crew are now on the way here. The
new branch will start from a point
running to the northwest and will
be about rs or 80 miles in length.
Another short line from the main
line will conect with the branch line,
forming a so-called "Y"' on which
a train may turn when going back
up the branch. This extension will
no doubt bring lot of trade into
Stanley which has heretofore gone
to other towns to the north and west
and make this the commercial GEN.
ter between Minot and Williston.
