THE Biwabik Times editorially
is of the opinion that the building
of roads in this county should be
taken out of the hands of the
county commissioners and given to
a single head to supervise, claim
ing that one man could look after
road building better than the seven
men now comprising the board.
We cannot see where the advantage
would come in. The district
handled by the commissioners are
already so large that each and
every one has about all he can do
to attend to it. By putting it all
on one shoulder the chances are
very much that nothing would be
done. Besides what is the use OF
having commissioners to represent
districts if one man is to have the
say. They are doing what they
think is right for their respective
districts and each and everyone of
them is practical man elected by
the people to build roads and do
their other work. Seven heads are
better than one in any stage of the
game.

fare of the entire community. In
mining camps conditions are differ
ent, especially, as is often the case,
there the camp is dependent for its
existence on the operation of the
single mining company, 1t then
devolves upon the large companies
to provide suitable homes, and even
places of recreation for their men
and their families.
"A number of instances arenoted
where mining companies have gone
to much expense to provide all those
requirements and conveniences de-
manded by present day communi-
ties. Some of the large iron min
ing companies have built towns,
moved towns, provided club houses,
ETC.. for employees, and educational
facilities for their children, in order
that well disposed and intelligent
men may be kept in service in
unattractive regions, that their
families may be provided with the
comforts and conveniences that
they could have elsewhere.
In these days when the cry is to
be heard on every hand that the
people are being ground by the
heartless corporations, it is only
just to the corporations to call at
tention to some of the things that
they are doing for the benefit of the
communities in which they operate.
Business is conducted for profit, of
course. 1t is, however, now recog-
nized that the greatest business
success and the welfare of employees

CLEAN UP
Board of Health Desires
Clean City

Cleanup season has arrived.
Everyone is urged to clean up
their premises and alleys as soon as
possible.
In order that everyone may
understand what is required by
law in this matter we are publish
ing below the city ordinance and
section from the state laws.
We have had trouble in the past
from the dumping of cleanup
material along roads in the city
limits, as the old Chandler pit, and
in various places where such
material should not be dumped.
The section from the state laws
quoted below covers this very thing
and also provides a punishment
and penalty, as does also the city
ordinance.
The city has provided dump
ing ground south of the city with
a good road leading to it, where
all cleanup material is burned II
is hoped we will have no trouble
this year from the dumping OF
nuisance in other places than the
dumping ground.
The people of the city have
always been very prompt and
thorough in cleaning up. We ask
every one to do better this year
than in any past year, so that our
city may present the best possible
appearance. Sanitation and clean
up methods pay both from the
standpoint of the health of the
community, and of the wealth of
the community. In plain words

EVENING CHAT
By RUTH CAMERON.

Every day is a fresh beginning;
Listen my soul to the glad refrain,
And spite of old sorrow and older sin
ming,
And puzzles forecasted and possible
pain,
Take heart with the day and begin
again. Susan Coolidge.
Today is the birthday of a man who
at the age of thirty-nine was an OBJ
scure failure in provincial town.
After having wasted several great OPP
portunities, he was working as a clerk
in his fathers warehouse, earning
from $500 to $500 a year. which was
not enough to keep his family out of
debt.
Just four years later this mans pic
ture was hanging in the homes of
grateful millions. and his name was
Joined with Washington's.
1t seems to me that the life of Ulys-
ses Grant ought to be knockdown ar
gument for any man who dares at any
age to say, Il am failure. My
chances for success are over"
Had Grant said. 81 am a hopeless
failure. I have failed at everything
have tried. There is no use in my
trying to lead regiment" the history
of this country might have been alto
gether different.
Here are few facts in Grants life
history.
He was born April 81. 1922.
He was educated at West Point.
graduating twenty-first in a class of
thirty-nine.
He went to the Mexican war as a.
lieutenant. At it's close he was a
brevet captain, being then twenty-six
years old.
This was in 1S4s. In 1854. at the
age of thirty-two his downgrade began
when he was forced to resign from the
army because of drunkenness.
He went into the real estate BUSH
ness, worked in the custom house and
even as an auctiOneer. il is said.
He failed at all.
During this time" his biogranber
says, sit was so painful tc see him that
all who knew him preferred to cross
the street rather than meet him."
FINALLY" to quote the biographer
again, ''to him and his family. for
whom he could not earn even needful
bread, his father had become at last
shelter against the struggles of life.''
This was his condition when war
was declared.
Immediately he offered his services
as the captain of a regiment which he
had helped to recruit and drill.
June 16, 1861, he becan colonel
August he was made brigadier-
general of volunteers
February 16. 1862. he was made
major-general of volunteers.

King Georges latest decision to at
tract attention on two continents is his
ruling that divorced people will not
be admitted to the court of st. James.
It is not strange that the new order
should attract attention on this side
of the Atlantic. In our own social
whirl of the great metropolis divorce
has been one of the principal pastimes
and alimony one of the chief sources
of revenue. Deep disappointment must
arise from the bar sinister of Georges
court, particularly as it comes on the
eve of the coronation when everyone
with a social brass collar has hopes of
cutting some swath in London society
and being presented at court It will
be a blow to some New Workers, as
well as the nobility of Chicago and
Pittsburg. But depressing as the news
is it will not make much difference
outside of Georges circle. When it
comes to choosing between the court
of st. James and the court Of Reno,
Nevada, members of the butterfly bevy
will continue to pay tribute to the
town where Jack Johnson held his
coronation celebration. - Atchison
