We Pity People In The East

A heat wave of lengthy period has just passed over the Middle
and Eastern states, leaving in its wake an appalling number of deaths
and sunstrokes. A record of 497 deaths from excessive heat in the
different large cities of the east is alarming and it lis quite certain
that many deaths have occurred beyond what has been reported. Not
a single death by reason of the heat has been reported in any of the
mountain states. Here the days may be warm, but 1T is rare the
mercury ecceeds 80. Even during the hottest days it is always
cool and refreshing In the shade, and the nights are ure to be cool
enough to require a blanket or two, assuring one of sAeet, refreshing
sleep There Isl no climate that can compare with that found in the
Rocky Mountain states.

and they are powerless to interfere. But. just as the people vote
for a governor every two or three years, there is no reason why they
should not select their representatives in the senate in the same man.
ner This means more democracy and is in entire accord with rep
resentative government. aW#
"If the duties of lawmaking and interpreting the laws arr pushed
upon the people of this country one man rule will inevitably result.
The community is bound to center its confidence in certain men who
represent their sentiments at the time. The government will event.
ually become a one a system, and this man will have behind him
the power of the people he is able to enlist. This is the system
that created Julius Caesar. 1t is the very reverse of representative
government, upon which this government is built"

He will Eat His Bale Of Nav.

At the conclusion of diatribe
occupying the greater portion of
his editorial page, Bro. Larin of the
Eveleth News. in his last issue AYERS
that "if county division, with Vir.

a majority in Eveleth within a reae-
enable time to come we will essay
the feat of eating a bale of hay"
The apparent cause of Bro. Lar
in's lengthy discussion of Vir.
ginia and Virginia's chances in
case Of county division is caused
by the alleged dilatoriness af Vir.
ginia in pressing the county div
ision moment, the charge being
made that "there is no Spartan
courage in Virginia.. Virginia 10

and glories in the fact"

fully, that in case of a vote on coun-

COUNTY DIVISION the SLOGAN
Commercial Club Awakens to the Idea
that Division is a Possibility Ad-
yantageous to virginia,

The Virginia Commercial Club
after slumber of several months
awoke with start, this week and at
a meeting held last evening the air
was filled with county division SEN
timent-a sentiment which the En-
terprise has preached in season and
out ever since the memorable cleo.
ton when the ranges succumbed to
the combined efforts of the Duluth
hog and certain corporations and
unwillingly remained as part and
parcel of St. Louis county.
The Club reorganized for the work
by the reelection of N. B. Arnold
as president, choosing c. c. Butler
as vice president and w. ]. Archer
as secretary, and appointed a com
mittee composed of Judge Mon.
tague, \. D. Heritage and r. c.
Pickering to arrange a meeting of
representative of the various Com
mercial Clubs of the range in this
city on January %, at which a din
ner will be served and counsel will
be taken toward getting the proper
start.
It has for months past been con-
ceded that all the range commun-
tiles heartily favored division, and
a consensus of opinion is that Vir.
ginia is favorably looked upon as a
prospective county seat. Such be-
ing the case there should be no
trouble in securing united effort in
behalf of the proposition at this
time-nor do we believe there would
have been trouble in receiving such
uni1ed support at any time for the
past two or three years, although
for reasons unknown the starting
of the campaign has been delayed.
A. Ha wkinson, "A. D. Heritage
and J. II. Fleming; we're elected as
trustees of the Club for the ensuing
year, and under the guidance of a
live set of officers and the question
of division as the main issue we
hope to see ithe Virginia CONNER.
