Still Abroad in the Land

The predictions made come months
 ago that the era of the muck -raker
 was over and that the day of his
 popularity had waned, have not been fulfilled. Judging by the contents of the January magazines, he is just ap- preaching the zenith of his powers. The Ballinger and Pinchot contro- versy, the sugar trust revelations. the suspicion that a water power mo- all, the campaign against what is known in ''insurgent' circles as Add richism" and "Cannonism"- these things have furnished the muck -raker with almost an embarrassment of riches in. the way of material. Sev- eral magazines are apparently en- gagged in strenuous race to see which can cover the most ground with the muck-rake This month, in their rivalry increases aI- most to frenzy. It would be interest ing to know just what effect these fulminations have on the sober level-headed portion of the reading public. It must be taking them with considerable allowance for exaggeration. Otherwise. the public would be on the eve of revolution worse than any France ever saw.

The Torture of Zelaya.

The punishment which ex-Presi- dent Zelaya has imposed upon him. self is as severe as the penances of Undergraduates. Six days of silence to any man is painful. but to a Cen tral American or a suffragette it is positive torture, which calls for in- tervention by the civilized powers.
 Silence to Zelaya means efface- ment. We can hardly estimate what it means to those newspaper corre- spondents who found in the former dictators a pearl of great price. It seldom happens that the news gather CTS run across a prominent person. age who is willing and even glad to discuss freely unsettled matters af- fecting nations.
 President Diaz is no doubt an able ruler. He has done so much for Mexico that he may be called its father and it's savior He has dole much for Americans and all for elgners or the better sort. He has also done much for the press of Mexico. giving it a freedom some- what approaching the license enjoyed In this country
 But he has just now aimed a pain full blow at the press of his own country and ours at the same time by putting a quietus on the most fluent interviewee it has been the good luck of the correspondents to encounter in all their glorious careers.
 But for the interference of Senor Diaz, Zelaya would have been a con- tributOr to front pages for weeks to come.

The Year Just Gone

The old year was a very good one Some of us will turn to look at it after it has passed us, but to joyful confident youth there is no year but the present and those to come. The years agone are but as birds nests of past seasons.
 The year 1909 brought a return of prosperity in a fairly full measure and departed with a promise that the measure would still be complete to overflowing.
 at the moment we called horrors. by land and sea-wholesale loss of life in mines and in the fury of storms, but there has been no world disaster of stupefying magnitude. In 1909 . there has been witnessed shifting about of government to the advan- tage everywhere of the governed for whom governments are. In the un- likely lands of Persia and Turkey btci NouiN not have been predicted a year ago. Even in Russia. where reform is al- most glacial in its movement. there appears to have been a quickening.
 The world has had plenty in 1909. There has been neither plague nor his gaunt mother famine. There have
 
 The world is better at midnight of December 31. 1909. than it was pre- cisely a year earlier. as it is meant , that it shall continually grow better.

 Grateful as the world at large ought to be to 1909, Arizona and this valley especially, owes particular debt of gratitude to period which may al- most be called an epoch. in which the greatest height of, prosperity has been attained-in which there has ap- peared no reasonable cause for com plaint

DIVORCE IN ENGLAND.
Within Reach of Rich, But Impossible
 for Poorer Glass.

Divorce may be good or bad in itself, but it cannot be good for one class and bad for another. As things stand well-to-do, and it is practically impossi ble for the husband or wife without at least fair means to obtain it. no mat ter how great the provocation may have been. Practically the pair are driven back on what can only be de- scribed as the halting expedient of separation by a magistrate, which is indeed cheap enough, but, in most cases, also unsatisfactory.
 Moreover, it is not only the very poor who suffer. There are many people who hold a certain position, but who cannot afford the enormous expense of the divorce court, and are yet debarred by the fact that they do not come within what is commonly called the working class. from obtained even a separation order from a magistrate.
 Obviously the law. both as regards divorce and separation. ought to be within the reach of all classes To make IL so, however, certain amount of expenditure must be incurred by the state. for the only practical suggestion which has yet been made is to give a Jurisdiction in matrimonial causes to the county court judges.
 If that is to be done their numberl must be considerably increased, for the amount of work which recent legisla- ton has thrown upon the county court bench makes it out of the question to impose any further burdens without increasing the number of those who are to bear them.

City Engineer Spencer Has Requested
Contractor Johnson To Discon-
tinue Septic Structure.
FEARS FROST MAY CAUSE HARM
Receives Letter From Rainy River Tell
ing of Recent Collapse in
That City.

City Engineer Spencer has re-
quested Contractor johnson to dis
continue the building of Be mid ji's
new septic tank, consequently work
on the structure has been abandoned
during the winter II ontbs.
Engineer Spencer felt it his duty
not to allow the tank to be complet-
ed at this time, as the cold weather,
keeps the cement from maintaining
its full strength. which means he
says, had the Bemidji tank been
finished this winter that it would
have lost much of it's usefulness.
On speaking of the matter yester-
day to a representative of the Pho
neer, Mr., Spencer said:
BY disseminating the building of
the septic tank I perhaps put myself
out of position, but in doing so I
feel that [ have done my duty and
that in the end the city of Bemidji
will be better off because of my
decision"
In speaking of the collapse of the
Rainy River septic tank Mr.. Spencer
said that he had received an answer
from the city engineer of that place,
to letter which he had recently
written to him. The letter said that
the cover of the tank was II inches
thick, and reinforced by Il inch rods
Is inches apart, and expanded
metal. Much care was taken in the
mixing of the cement, such as heat
ing the sand and keeping it from
freezing during the first twenty-four
hours after it had been put in place
Two feet of dirt was placed on top
of the cover.
Although the letter does not give
areason for the collapse of the cover,
Engineer Spencer is of the opinion
that the supports under the tank
were taken out before the cement
had dried sufficiently.
Mr.. Spencer left for his home in
Park Rapids this morning.

looking for iron ore and that samples
of high grade ore have been found
within two miles of town. The
presence of large bodies of ore near
here has been known for some time
but few people were aware that
actual work had been begun to un-
earth the riches that are known to
underlie the southern end OF
Koochiching county.
Those interested in the project
are satisfied that immense bodies
of iron ore underlie this section and
hundreds of prospectors probably
will now flock in.

Provided For In Advance.

A playwright in an interview in New
York said that without attention to the
minutest details theatrical success
could rarely be attained. ~
"And yet" he added, smiling, "even
this grand virtue of attention to de-
tails may be carried to excess. Thus a
certain playwright said at rehearsal
to his leading man:
"'Now, remember, John, after you
speak this line, "Helen, will save you
though PERISH" pause and wait for
the applause i
But the leading man sneered and
answered cynically:

applause?'
