USERS of the "juice" at Interna-
tional Falls ask the council of that
city to appoint meter inspector,
to examine and keep "tab" on the
meter readings shown by the CON-
pany.
The argument of Thos. J. Mckeon
that the Office of judge of probate
should be filled by practicing at
torney is making him many votes,
if one be permitted to judge from
the tone of the press aud the tone
of the people.
THE INTERESTS" are not worry
ing, particularly, about Clarence B.
Miller's "insurging" during the
campaign. What they want is a
man they can swear by when the
time comes to vote, and they know
they have such a man in Mr.. Miller.
THE plea tor "range" man for
official position as made by some
is not "fetching" argument.
People are paying more attention
to the qualifications of candidate
than to his place of residence; a
method that augurs we'll tor eff
cient county government.
VOTE early; vote right. Vote tor
honesty in politics, in governmental
affairs, for men whose records have
proven them trustworthy. Vote for
men you would trust personally
even though you have to vote for a
democrat for congress or a prohi-
bitionist for the state senate.
THE government proposes to
m axe smaller one dollar bills in fu
ture. This is proper move, since
under the workings of the Payne
Aldrich tariff, "the best tariff ever"
it is piece of deception to have a
dollar bill look so big and import.
ant while it's purchasing power has
dwind!ed to almost a nothingness.
The absence OF Sam Y. Gordon,
the county option republican can
didate, from the Wednesday even
ing rally, was disappointment to
many. Sam Gordon is one man who
refuses to subserviate principle to
political preferment, and tor this
reason will receive the support of
the self respecting element of citi-
zenship throughout the state.
THE fire losses in the Bea udette-
Spooner district, as estimated by
the insurance adjusters, aggregate
about 100000, of which amount the
Shevlin. Matthew Lumber Co. loss
was about 100000. These figures are
at considerable variance with the
estimates of many millions as made
by the correspondents of the daily
press at the time of the holocaust.
But the truth is bad enough, with
out the additional painting put on
for the purpose of selling papers.
HEAR one of the republican coun.
ty politicians is "hollerin'" because
we take occasion to give his demo.
cratic opponent little paid adver-
Using space. A better method for
him would be to write his copy-on
one side of the paper-same as does
his opponent, and send his check
| with it at the same time of asking
publication. Or he might pur'
chase the entire plant if he 80 de-
sires, thereby placing himself in
position to dictate what might
thereafter be considered accepta BILE
advertising to the Enterprise.
"VOTE 'er straight" is the tip that
James P. Boyle, who would repre-.
sent the Forty.ninth in the state
senate, says for the voters to dc
with the republican ticket. Con
sidering the fact that James P
Boyle arrived in Minnesota from
Indiana but two years since. il
might creep into the noodles Of
some who have known Minnesota
politics under republican rule for a
decade or two that he might lool
up past records before swinging in
with the ring rule that dominated
the North Star state under the old
regime, befo.e offering advice Of
this nature.
