Resolution No. 200
Resolution relating to bill before the
State Legislature providing for county
division.
BY Alderman E. e. A. Johnson.
Resolved, by the city council of the city
of Virginia, that
Whereas, a bill is now pending before the
legislature providing for a change in the
present system of dividing counties in the
State of Minnesota. making it possible to
submit the question of division to the
electors of the county without having the
electors of the old and new county vote
upon the location of the county seat and to
name the county commissioners at the
time of voting on the question of division.
Whereas, after carefully considering
such proposed legislation known as House
File No. 32 and firmly believing that the
only way to settle the question of division
| of this county is to make said bin a law
and submit the question fairly to a vote OF
the people of the county.
Now, Therefore, Be it resolved that the
city council of the city of Virginia hereby
declares itself as heartily in favor of the
proposed legislation and earnestly urges
the passage of such measure.
Be it further resolved that copy of this
| resolution be sent to James p. Boyle and
Representatives G. T. Knapp and John A.
Healy, and that they be requested to use
! their best efforts to progress and secure
| the passage of said measure.
Moved by Alderman Nolan. supported

ton be adopted.

contemporary, IS 10 years ola ana
Bill Hannaford, he who founded
the paper, is still grinding out hot
stuff for the publication. Eighteen
years is long time, but when
Dame Fortune smiles as she has
on the Enterprise publisher. the
time passes swiftly and as editors
never grow old when they can make
enough to encounter the ghost
every Saturday night it wouldn't
be at all surprising to find Bill in
his sanctum hundred years from
now. Here's hoping 80, anyway
Virginian.
DIRECT election of United States
senators was defeated in the senate
on Tuesday, and money and cor
rupt legislatures will continue to
be the leading elements in the elec-
ton of members of the American
house of lords. There are too many
United States senators who know
their own standing with the voters
of their state to permit any possibil-
ity of being thrown down by pop
ular vote if in their power to pre-
vent. To the credit of both of the
Minnesota senators, however, be it
said their vote was recorded on the
side of popular government, each
of them voting for the amendment.
The prospective working of the
"recall" on a member of the city
council. Alderman Kimball, or at
least the talk of such procedure,
has held the center of the stage
during the week almost to the ex-
c1usion of county division and re.
apportionment injustices. The re.
call is an adm onitory or precaution-
airy measure, the existence of which
is destined to prevent the necessity
of its use in any but remote cases.
AT rare intervals there may arise
necessity for its exercise, although
the knowledge of its existence will
tend to obviate such exercise. It ia
an essential feature of a complete
system of popular government, and
while as yet it has not extended to
state and national officials it is
destined to do 80.
THERE is no use of personal an.
imosities arising out of the county
division agitation. All men may
not think alike, and yet each be
honest in his convictions on any
matter of public policy. The Enter
prise believes that county division
would be to the best interest of the
ranges, even though the county
seat be placed at Biwabik, Eveleth,
Hibbing or Virginia. We believe
the bill before the Minnesota legis-
lature permitting of vote on divi.
sion without vote on county seat
and county officials at the same
time is just measure and should
be passed, because we consider the
bill is framed in the interest of
justice and democratic government.
Others may think differently, but if
their opinions are honest and based
on point or principle they have a
right to such opinions which should
be respected.

MAYOR HAWKINsON on Tuesday
signed the resolution passed by the
city council last week, by a vote of
to l, favoring the bill before the
legislature in the interest OF county
division, and the resolution provid

committee in delving into the light

the mayor will receive the COM
mendation of great majority of
citizens.

WILLIAM LORIMER has been
"vindicated" by the United States
senate on the charge of having
bought his way into the American
house OF lords. This action of the
senate may express the honest
views of a majority of members of
that body, but we scarce believe it
expresses the views of majority of
the people of the country in the
case any more than did the Bal
linger whitewash.

The abolition of capital punish.
ment in the state of Minnesota is
most proper move. Such bill has
passed the house and will doubtless
receive the endorsement OF the SEN
ate. The man who kills a man un-
der guise of official sanction is per-
haps less of murderer than is the
man who will kill another in cold
blood, but few can honorably con-
tend that law is just and right
which sanctions such act.

There are those here. including some of

II Is known that two slugs from the shot

v'nced that the person who aimed the gun
ar Ellis stood only fifteen feet from the

likely that the man rested the barrel of

Albany Nov. H.-Governor DIX plans 70
renew his recommendation to the Tegislat-

Frawley law. which created the State Ath-
lettc Commission for the supervision Of

The Finance Committee OF the Adermanic
board met yesterday morning 70 draft its
report on the budget. and finished It just
in time for the regular session Of the al

Dowling. as chairman Of finance, had

proposed cuts were not definitely known TO

the aldermen were asked TO vote on them
