THE ENTERPRISE scribe has on
numerous and divers occa sions
during the week been asked "why
the Duluth papers had nothing of
the Sunday ball game between Vir
ginia and Hibbing," and had it init.
mated that we were derelict in our
duty of sending the news to the
Duluth press. We desire to correct
any possible nisapprehension on
this score, as we are in no manner,
nor have we been for years, con.
nected with any outside publication
in the capacity of correspondent.
We endeavor to get our news first
handed, and that we are fairly sue.
cessful in 80 doing and that our
efforts are appreciated is evidenced
by our constantly growing local
subscription list.

Workingmen themselves are fight

bludgeon and the boycott. i do
not believe that violence is a
force for progress. Kindness and
common sense Is the only force.
Violence antagonizes workingmen !;
kindness converts them to the
wisdom of cooperating. Coopera-

Stand Patters Up Salt Creek--Hot News Item
But What DO All These Words
Mean, and Why Times His
torian Gets Busy and Tells His
Readers.

Why do they call them insur-
gents? And stand patters?
Every little while politics coins
some new words that everybody
accepts. without thinking what
they mean. There are a lot OF
them. The Times historian has
hunted up the origin of some OF
these.
Seems that stand patters and
insurgents both grew up around
the personality of Mark Hanna.
Some of the Ohio people who OBJ
jected to Hanna's rule called
themselves insurgents, as the word
was fresh in everybody's mind
then, being used lot in the war
with Spain and just before.
Some fearful leaders came to
Hanna to urge him to work for a
modification of the tariff. They
showed that the public was get
ting excited about it and that the
party was in danger.
Hanna simply laughed.
We'll stand pat, he said.
This phrase stand pat" is one
which older Inhabitants will re-
member as being used in a card
game called poker" which has
been played occasionally in Taco
ma and other cities.
The word "gerrymander' orig
mated in the early part of the
century. Elbridge Ger
ry, vice president of the United
States, elected in 1912, caused the
first division of states into con-
gressional districts without regard
to natural boundaries, in order
that his party might succeed.
Today the word gerrymander is
applied to arrangements of bound
aries of eelction districts so con-
trived as to secure an unfair ad-
vantage to the dominant party.
The word machine" as applied
to politics was first used in 1845
and borrowed in this country from
the duke of Wellington, who ap-
piled it to English politics.

but predict disaster to federated
labor bodies unless they drop
their efforts to feudalize this

Surely there is a safe and sane
