SPRING may be on the way, but if
so it must be coming via a Great
Northern freight.
| JUDGING from the kind of weather
that comes out of it, Medicine Hat
must be of the inverted coal-scuttle
type.
NOT only have we the hobble skirt,
but we have it in combination with
the empire gown. Evidently the
dear girls think we are all from
Missouri.
We note by northern Michigan
exchange tina: Miss Stefaniji Piet-
rozykowski married Jan Sadowiz-
sky. In other respects, however,
the wedding was quiet affair.
MISS DAMN, of Chicago, who had
been reported missing to the police
of Berlin, has been found visiting
friends near the city. This will be
a relief to the whole-but why re-
peat it.:
AN archaeologist making excava-
tons at Colchester, England, re-
ports finding safety pins more than
1900 years old. Which is taken as
proof positive that they had babies,
even in those days.
IT is understood several new
organizers for the Socialist party
are to be on the range this season,
tour of whom arrive and take up
the work this week. A meeting at
the local headquarters on Saturday
evening will have some good speak
ers in behalf of the objects of or
ganization.
"DULUTH's climate would be hard
to beat anywhere in the world" is
the heading of the "open court"
column of the Duluth News Trib-
une of Tuesday. If the climatic
condition at the county seat on
Monday was fair sample of Du-
luth's climate, we strictly agree
with the sentiment expressed in the
heading.
A BIG Escanaba, Mich, factory
has caused to be printed across it's
pay checks "Not valid if cashed in
q oo1oop This ;o enid ~ Lo-o l>on~
the result of eighty-five per cent OF
the pay checks of the concern hav-
ing heretofore been cashed in the
thirst parlors, with the result that
much drunkenness was manifest
among employees. Some food for
reflection.
The Minnesota house passed the
kneeland recall bill by vote of 65
to 81, on Monday. When the bill
becomes law, if it is permitted to do
so by the acquiescence of the senate
and governor, the first ones on
whom it should be worked by the
people of the ranges should be
Senator Boyle and Representative
Knapp, for their earnest co.opera-
ton in the defeat of the county
division bill.
OF course we understand there is
nothing in the law compelling a
judge of probate to be an attorney.
In fact, in Minnesota it is not even
necessary for one to have been adj
mitted to practice in order to hold
the position of county attorney.
But at the same time there is no
law against man who has passed
a state bar examination holding
down a job and drawing the salary
attachment connected with either
position.
WHILE perhaps the county divi-
sion movement has not had exactly
the sailing desired by its promot-
ers, it would appear to have had its
effect in a way. For instance, the
Mesaba range will this year be
given many thousand dollars ad-
ditional for road work over any
previous year, and the considera-
ton given the new court bill and
the measure providing for regular
terms of probate court at range
points is accredited as a direct re-
suit of the fight made for the divi.
sion bill. AS it is, county division
will be the slogan in the campaign
of. 1912; the fight is not finished-'t1s
but commenced.
