THE Biwabik Times chortles
with glee every week i'll anticipa-
ton of what will happen to the edi-
tor postmasters when Congressman
Miller gets through with them.
Where the Times secures the incen-
tive for its antipathy towards its
brethren of the press is hard to I'M
derstand. We do not think that
Congressman Miller is furnish
ing the material but believe that it
is only scheme on the part of the
editor of the Times to land some
thing tangible in exchange for pa
laver and it remains to be seen
whether this sort of stuff is as ef-
fective as was good political hard
work. Congressman Miller has nc
fight OH with the newspaper men Of
this district.

IDENTIFY the system some of the rural
contemporaries are working under
as weekly they reproduce the false
statement that this, that and the
other farming district pays 90 per
cent more taxes than St. Louis
county. These same fellows are
the ones that make the claim that
st. Louis county citizens are under
the absolute domination of the steel
trust. The larger part of these
papers are the "me-too" kind
which get their inspiration from a
certain Mortified, Mimi. editor
and farmer and the whole bunch is
dominated by a political bug that
has buzzed them into a jin-jam
condition until their gray matter
has become so mixed to all sense of
right and justice as to preclude any
possibility of their ever again be-
coming useful citizens of Mime
sofa and not the tools of certain
disgruntted politicians which they
how are. These fellows can see
through a key-hole with both eyes
at once and what they need, is not
facts and figures which cannot be
denied, but grab at their pocket
books by the state for some of the
taxes they have lodged for these
many years. AS the larger part of
the counties of the state, Call locat-
ed in the districts where these
me-too" fellows mould CD these
canned at Mortified opinions) get
more money from the state than
they pay in taxes, why not have
the tax commission investigate and
equalize the percentage so as to
give the northern end a show.
That stop thief" gag is too old a
cry to work on anyone but a strict
ly rural chap.
