1 WONDER IF IT is TRUE?

1. That the Business Men and
best citizens of Ely want the
present 1axity in law enforcement?
2. That there is the worst con-
dition in the town at present the
place has ever known?
8. That women are allowed to
frequent many of the saloons and
in some to tend bar.
4. That women of i'll repute are
located in the town plying their
trade?
S. That woman bound over to
the Grand Jury threatened to tell
the names of prominent citizens
who had visited her?
6. That the Grand Jury met and
the case against the woman was
not brought up?
7. That the Officers of the Law
have no responsibility for the en-
forcement of the laws as they find
them?
Respectfully Submitted

department of the postoffice and the
bank feels the influx of the
catalogues at once. 1t is cinch
that the chase would not have gone
out of town had the catalogues not
come in. Advertising does it and
should local merchants let people
know what they have for sale and
at what prices as persistently as
does the out-of- town merchants,
the effect would be noticeable.
Tell your customers through the
local paper that you will deliver so
much sugar, tea, prunes, etc. for

DANISH booze and the walls of
this institution can be used for road
building. In few years the cor
ridors will echo with the solemn
tread of lonely hundred male
factors, and the State Prison will
be counted a dismal financial
failure. The bug-houses will be
turned into butter factories and the
reformatories into schools for the
masses. Ten thousand citizens
now wasting their lives. selling
liquid tightening will go to pro-
ducing honest wealth and the com
merce of the state will double. II
beans brought as much damnation
as boose any man foolhardy enough
to raise beans would be strung to
the nearest telegraph pole. The
facts are so self-evident that the
statistics of every state prison in
the land annually prove them
beyond all question. Only two
total abstainers have been received
in the last year and nine lifers out
of ten admit they were drunk when
they f1irted with fate. Prison

NEARLY half carload OF
catalogues from the Chicago houses
have been received by Ely citizens
during the past two weeks. The
result of the matter is that cash
that should go to local merchants
is going to Chicago in large
quantities for goods that could just
as well be bought at home and at
prices just as cheap as from the
Chicago houses. The money order

SOME of the southern Minnesota
state senators have their sails
trimmed for making the race for
Congressman at large. For their
benefit we will state that Con-
gresham is supposed to represent
the whole U. S. and not any
particular township or section as
these parties have been doing in
the state sessions. Pumpkintown
statesmen are plentiful enough in
the national halls and altogether toe
plentiful i'll state matters. A good
level headed, business man from g
business country like the northern
part of the state is what is wanted

BY all means let us have an extra
session of the legislature and find
out where we are at on the matters
of railroad taxation, reapportion-
ment, etc. And while the legis-
lature is at it let us get some in
sight into the freight rates and
express business. AS the law
making body is now paid by the
year and not by the session, give
them a chance to earn their salary.
