The management of the St. Louis county fair
is coming in for criticism from some of the range
newspapers because this year the newspapers were
sighted in the matter of paid advertising. The
Enterprise believes it is true, as the Hibbing
Tribune suggested in recent issue that the fair
association could better afford to spend $500 in
advertising in the newspapers of the county than
$l7O0 for new grandstand but it believes that
condition is simply an oversight for which the
newspapermen themselves are as much to blame
as is the management of the fair The St. Louis
county fair is worthy of lot of publicity from the
country newspapers and it has always received it.
The country newspapers are likewise entitled to
receive some money for advertising the county
fair Time was when the newspapermen at Hib-
blng gave the fair columns of free advertising and
cheertully paid their admission at the gate That
was also an oversight no doubt, but it was cond-
zion that would not have been permitted in most
sections OF the country where newspapers worthy
the name are better appreciated than they are on
the iron range The newspapermen have griev-
ance and it should be born in mind another wear
by the fair management The state fair spends
thousands OF dollars in advertising in Minnesota
newspapers and it gets results. The st. Louis
county fair can well afford to do the same thing
by the few papers published in the county and by
all means it ought to. However, there is small
question but that every paper on the range would
have been remembered with paid advertising if the
matter had been called to the attention of the
fair officials in the proper way at the right time.
We believe the brethren at Hibbing have dropped
the ball. s.< .@.@. 81. -s 's..sz

The T. B. Walker lumber interests in Beltra-
mi county are going to try out the plan of develop
ing their cut-over lands along agricultural lines
before offering them for sale. Minnesota's rapid
ly vanishing forests have profted the great lumber
interests immensely and the proceeds from their
exploitation have made some of the biggest private
fortunes in the country. If the lumber compan-
les can be interested in leaving their cut-over
Lands in shape for the settler to go on and make
living they will be doing very commendable
work. The Walker experiment will be watched
with interest and may be the entering wedge to
help hasten the agricultural development of north
ern Minnesota from source that will be an in
f1uence we'll worth enlisting in work that means
much to all this section Of the country.

The supreme court of the state of Minnesota
in it's opinion on the Virginia bond case did not
pass on the question of whether or not the city of
Virginia was third class city. It said it didn't
matter, so that the decision in the bond case will
have no bearing whatever on the annexation
question. The board of county commissioners
and one or two of the county's servants displayed
a good deal of unwarranted anxiety when the mat
ter was before the county board on petition to
call special election for the purpose of submitting
the question to a vote. If surface sentiment is an
indication some of the aforesaid servants of the
people and others, will never be able to- point
proudly to the fact that they held office in St..
Louis county for ~ years. if the votes of Virginia
people who favor annexation are factor. after
election day rolls around again.

Ely Miner: By state law passed
by the last session of the Michigan
legislature semi-monthly pay days be-
come effective in that state on Sept. l.
This is step nearer the solution of
the problem between the business
man in a mining town and the laborer.
1t would be still better if there were
weekly pay days. Every small bust
ness pays its men Saturday or Monday
night. The larger concerns could do
the same. There is no excuse for the
forty day wait on the part Of the mer-
chant or the laborer either, for that
matter. The large concerns in Europ-
can countries pay their help once a
week. A weekly pay day would do
away with the large number Of book
accounts carried by the local merch-
ants and cash would be the circulating
medium for commodities instead of
the store book. This would let down
prices as it is we'll known fact that
man selling for cash can do much
better than those compelled to carry
large amounts on the books. The lab
orer could also spend his money to a
better advantage if he knew exactly
how much he had to spend. The min
ing companies: make the claim that
the extra cost of making up the pay
envelope weekly would be something
enormous. The small concerns do it
with little help. The large concern
could do it with more help.

Red Wing Republican,. A western
city recently made the assertion that
it was out of the booster class. That
is, it has outgrown the need of adver-
Using itself and it's industries. If
this is fact, it has advanced beyond
the five greatest cities in the world
London is not keeping quiet about its
enormous new docks, New York about
it's subways, Paris about it's old forti-
fications, Chicago about its new harbar
or Berlin about it's business expansion.
None of these cities is out of the
booster class and every one of them
rejoices in getting all the advertising
it can. In fact, the larger and more
prosperous city grows, the greater
is its spirit of civic pride and the more
it appreciates the praise bestowed up
on its achievements.

These be the days when the man who talks
the year around about the shame of violating the

his hands with both barrels cooked. What's
more sportsmen worthy of the name will do it.

Biwabik Times: The fight On the
proposed public utilities measure pro
posed By Governor Eberhart has fairly
started, discussions thus far leaves Us
as much in the dark as was previously
the case. The trouble IS that those
that would enhghten US are mixing
politics with the discussion. Most Of
us do not care whether the proposal
comes from Eberhart or some other
man, as long as it will prove real
benefit to the people. If the state
regulation Of public utilities will prove
a good thing for the people everybody
wants it, and if it is something only
wanted by the owners Of public utilit-
les and is for their benefit it should
be opposed. A state control of public
utilities should be fair to all, but GER
tainly should not benefit the big fell
lows at the expense of the little ones.
The labor unions are opposing state
IeSu1atlon, ana you can resi- assured
that they have made a study of the
question from the standpoint Of the
workers before they assumed such a
position. It is true that some states
have adopted some such method of con
trolling public utility corporations, but
even this does not signify that such
control in Minnesota would be a good
thing. We are, in other words, Meth
er in favor of or opposed to the pro-
posed measure, but would like to know
how we can be benefited by taking the
control Of such corporations from the
cities and villages and putting them
under the state.

ice that the partisan politician never
seems to get very far in accomplish

fact that they are compelled to keep

they have no time to do the real work
