BOARD OF EDUCATION.

Mr.. r. HI. Martin of West. Duluth
has consented to run for member of
the board Of education. J
Now, there are three essentials in
the makeup of the true representa-
tive Of the people. Neither is rare, as
the strength Of the American nation
is found in these essentials These
attributes are Honesty, Ability and
Energy. Any one Of these qualities
may be found in most of our citizens.
Two Of the qualities are perhaps fair
ly numerous. Men possessing all
three of the attributes are fewer in
number, and when one Of such men
is willing to accept an office. and per-
form its duties without money and
without price, every good citizen
should esteem it privilege to sup
port him. This means vote for p.
H. Martin for the board Of education.
Mr.. Martin is the only candidate to
represent West Duluth and that sec
ton Of the city west of the ore docks.
l.. A. Barnes Of West Duluth is at
present a member of the school board
from West Duluth but his term will
expire next year.

NO CHINAMEN CONVERTED.

Referring to the recent murder Of
Elsie sigel in New, York by a China
man she was trying to convert. one is
tempted to ask whether the business
of missions among the Chinese is
worth while, since the history of the
movement shows that the Chinaman
is more likely to convert the mission
worker to opium than the mission
worker is to convert the Chinaman to
Christianity.
Sir Robert Hart. for many years In
charge Of the Chinese customs, on be-
half of the British government and
probably better acquainted with China
and the Chinese than any other white
man, has made the frank statement
that, no matter what missionaries
may believe and say, not one China
man has ever been really converted to
Christianity.
He contends that the sole object of
attending the English speaking schools
is to learn English and to pick up for
eign methods. and that John China
mans pretense OF conversion is pre-
tense and nothing more. =

TWILIGHT,

A news article on our first page
tells Of a wide world effort now being
put forth for a change. in present
standard time, in order to give the
working people and others what
would be practically, more day light.
In this connection the following as
Economical definition OF what con-
stitutes twilight may not be uninter-
esting:
Twilight is the refracted sunlight
visible after the sun has set, or be-
fore 1t rises. Twilight begins and
ends when the sun Is Is degrees be-
low the horizon. On the longest
day. the sun Is about 2311 degrees
north OF the celestial equator. Its ze-
NTH distance is therefor 6eh degrees,
and IT ! be the latitude Of the place,
the suns distance below thes horizon
at midnight will he 66h degrees-l.
Making this equal to 10 degrees we
have @661z degrees-1S degrees
4Sh degrees. Hence for all places on
the earth's surface north Of 49, de-
grees there is twilight all night on
June Fl. North Of latitude 6eh de-
grees the sun does not set at all on
the longest day. This produces the
phenomenon Of the Midnight SUM-"

AFTER THE FOURTH.

The figures showing the number
seriously injured on Independence
Day are simply startling. The casualty
list for the whole country on the glo-
rious Fourth OF July may be expected
to approximate the number Of those
wounded in the war Of the Revolution.
The annual observance Of the nations
birthday brings sadness as vel as Joy.
It is not without paoin and suffering,
or even loss Of life and destruction Of
property. Can we not give expression
to patriotic feeling or commemorate
great deeds and important events with
less danger to life and limb. and would
our patriotism be less sincere and dig
snified It we should eliminate the noise
and danger? or Is 1t something syn
onymous with pandemonium / and
powder? f. f]<. z#ss$s y

FOR THE LAKE CARRIERS.

The following article, written by
Louis IF. Post, editor Of The Public,
Chicago, can be read with great profit
by the gentlemen who make up the
personnel of the so-called Lake Car
riers' association. Among other good
things Mr.. Post says:
what the best interests Of both
employer and hired man requires
those Of both classes who earn their
own living-is that they get together
on the basis of genuine purpose to
do the fair thing all round. There

labor organizations are concerned, for
they, for the most part, want to be
fair. AS mass they are composed

ship in general would put aside such
influence as their own little special
privileges may exert, and close their
ears to the unfair suggestion Of ever

Employers organizations that want

in cooperating with labor organiza-

difficulty which they themselves have
fostered-the difficulty that would

employers organizations to take a
