QUARTEITE OF BAD MEN ARE
SENT TO THE COUNTY JAIL

John Erickson, q farmer living
near Iron Junction was probably
saved from being relieved of his
bankrou of something like $466
Saturday night by the prompt &C
ton of Police Officer Larson.
Erickson had been about the city
drinking and showing his money
and a fine gold watch which he
carried. At the Heikkila saloon
on Chestnut street he fell in with
Louis Hill, Charles Jackson, Erick
Magnuson and Andrew Stars and
the Quintette had some drinks to-
gether. When the place was clos
ed for the night Erickson's new
found friends knocked him down in
stairway entrance and were just
preparing to relieve him Of his
money when Officer Larson took
a hand and with Chief Rice arrest
ed the five. Erickson's gold watch
was missing and has not yet been
found. The police think one of
his friends filched it from his poe
ket. Charges of petit larceny were
preferred against the four and
Judge Carey found them guilty and
sentenced them to spend 80 days
each the guests of Sheriff Meining.
They were taken to Duluth Mon
day. The police believe their ar
rest breaks up a tough gang that
have been operating there and at
Eveleth, negotiating petty thefts OF
all kinds. - ......5

RICE CLEANING AND POLISHING.

employed, 1899 being wage carriers. The

States employed go.G per cent. of the

Between 1888 and 1900 there was consid-

The number of establishments in Texas
increased from one in 1899 to 10 in 1893
ana Arkansas, which had none in le".

This shift in the industry was due to
the very general abandonment of rice

It is constantly necessary to explain that
some violcntlJ partisan or inaccurate ar
ticle was the work of a special and not
a part OF our service.
The Associated Press leases wires,
many thousands of miles of them. from
the Western Union, the Postal, the
American Telegraph & Telephone com
pany and from several OF the independ-
ent telephone companies.
The first three have n common basic
rate, charging us $2i a mile IL year in the
daytime and St2 a mile a year at night.
For exactly the same wire they charge
an Individual newspaper 500 and $40. re-
spectively, and a stockbroker gets n still
further reduction.
To compel the Associated Press to
assume an entity OF its own AMI TO
serve all corners would, in my juds-
ment, bring about n condition fraught
with the gravest dangers to the free
dom of the press and in turn to the
freedom of the people.
At present about one-third of the
daily newspapers OF the country are
represented by membership in the AS
ISOLATED Press.
There are n number of concerns en-
gagged In the collection n sale of
general news to non-members of the
Associated Press, and in one way or
another they supply their customers
with what are declared to he salts
factory services.
No more dangerous situation can well
be imagined than the passing of the
control Of the greatest news-ratberinp
and .c-jigenpt,o. --
world from the hands of co-operatine
newspapers to tho control Of some indi-
vidual interested in manipulating the
news, the master and not the servant OF
the newspapers.
Because this danger would be so grave
it will not come, but for another reason
also, a very basic reason.
There can be no monopoly in news.
The news of the world is open to him
who will go for 1t. Any one willing to
oXpeni the energy, the time, and the
money to approach 1t may dip from the
well OF truth.
The news service of the Associated
Press does not consist Of It's leased wires
or its offices. Its soul is In the personal
service OF human men, OF men with eyes
to see. with ears to hear, with hands to
write, and with brains to understand, OF
men who are proud when they succeed,
Inundated when they fail and resentful
when malignod. The telegraph wires are
but the blind instruments OF his service,
though the wire has br ught the utter
most parts OF the world marvclously close.
These human entities are ranging the
world to send word of it's dolnFs. of its
reioicings. and its Borrowings to satisfy
the thirst Of the people for intelligence
OF the march of events
And as to-day devoted men labor and
die In order that the members of the
Associated Press. an organization that
neither owns nor prints a newspaper,
may lay before their readers a fair pic
ture OF the worlds happenings. so al
ways will these and other men serve
noblN and die bravely that the world
may have tidings of sport and festival,
OF birth and death, Of Congress and
Parliament, Of Hague confluence and
pogram, of battle and plague, of ship
wreck and rescue.
