WITH the primaries but thirty
days distant there is less political
excitement in St. Louis county than
during any previous campaign in
history. The corrupt practices act
may have something to do with it.,
It being "agin the law" now to buy
a cigar for a voter or to ask him
to bend his elbow.

WE note by the Monday issues of
the Hibbing Tribune that county d.
vision may again be revived. The
article attributes the present interest
to Virginians, but we TESS up the
local newspaper bunch must be dead
ones, for neither of them had any
light on the subject. If county d.
vision Is to be revived once more
again, however, the Enterprise will
be found in favor Of the proposition
even though the county seat be
named at Wolf or Winton.

THE political dopester on the News

Daily Virginian is being groomed
for the legislature against Cleon T..
Knapp, Of Chisholm. He also men,
lions R. w. Hitchcock of the Hibbing

the Enterprise that neither of these
men could be induced to sacrifice
themselves for the good of the party.

quested to set aside at least one day
Of the four to be in attendance.
Under the direction of the bunch
of Hibbing boosters the st. Louis
County Fair, which before it's re-
moval from Duluth had deteriorated
to boss race, has become an OBJ
ject of much interest to any who
believe in the development of this
rich northern section. A year ago
the finest farm products to be
shown by any section of the earth
were on exhibit, disproving the early
day fallacy that all this section was
good for was to raise hell and iron
ore. They still raise a commensur-
ate amount of either commodity here
as yet. but in addition they are rails
ing the finest garden and farm prod
ucts.
Aside from these exhibits the
management arranges a program
which will meet with popular ap-
prevail, and the Hibbing council and
business men will see that a royal
welcome is extended all visitors, of
whom there is expected to be fully
10000 at the coming event. Be one
of the number.

have brought ont the truth about

marry his daughter would make her
a good husband or not An iu-
quiry through Dun or Bradstreet
will give accurate information -
to any young fellows past and pre-
sent performances and abilities 10

With these sources of information
at hand, is it not simply incredible
that any father would be SO crimi-
nally negligent as not to at least
find out what sort Of life part
ner his daughter is getting when
she marries?
No possible excuse can be offered
for their attitude in the matter
Before a father gives his consent
to his daughters marriage he
should have gone over the young
mans record with masnifyins
