Welcome to OUT city. Virginia
has the best country daily news
paper in the state and the Enter
prise believes it is we'll served in
the weekly field. If all the fac
lions in the city were to have a
newspaper there would be at least
a dozen. The task of serving them
all is too big for either or both OF
the papers here now and it is per-
haps true that another one is
needed. Incidentally There is more
money made in the newspaper bust
ness i'm Virginia than by amy other
business in town. There is a ,eOl-
den harvest of shekHls to- be reap
ed here beyond the capacity OF
,ither of the. papers at present to
garner, likewise long-feh want to
,e filled. Who will seize this 0p-
portunhy to accumulate wealth. be-
yond the dreams of aNarice? We
are sure that someone will come
forward, someone endowed of the
ANGELS gifted of the Gods. How
ever, it will be neither Hearst or
Pulitzer. Let the people interested
come forward with their money
freely that this magnificent Op-
oortunity perish not forever from
he face of the earth.

Grand Forks took the first game
OF the series opening Sunday by
score Of 9 to 6. Faith worked the
first seven inning and was retired
tcr Waddell. Rube struck out
thnee men ON, the two innings, but
was touched up for seven hits
and was poorly supported Jarni-
gan for Grand Forks held Shan
mems crew to nine hits and pitched
fine baseball. Couture was the
star for the day. He accepted II
chances at first base without an
error and made one of the most
sensational steps ever seen on the
local grounds on hard hit ground
bali in the eighth. Besides he got
four hits in four times up, includ-
ing home run and two two-bag-
igers. One Of the latter struck the
top of the boards on the left field
fence and bounded back. Jarnigan
for Grand Forks also got a home
gun and Collins for Virginia.. Die
trioh played great game at third
base for the, visitors, accepting
nine chances without an error.
One of the largest crowds of the
season saw the game.

GAME WARDEN NEEDED.

The state game. and fish COM
mission has not increased its popu-
larity in this section by the re-
nloNal OF George Wood of Hlbbing
as game warden. Whatever else
he may have been, Wood is the
only man who has ever given this
section a vigorous admins tration
OF the duties of that position and
no section of the state stood more
in need of it when he was ap-
pointed or stands more in need Of
it now. Despite THE activities of
Wood the slaughter of game and
fish contrary to- law is still COM
mon in this section. Most OF the
Wardens of the commission are
mere time servers, as the number
of arrests they have made i'm the
past year will show. The state
keeps Mardens on Vermilion lake
and at international Fails. Both
receive salaries OF 500 a month
and are furnished with gasoline
launches for patroling the lakes.
In both fields violation of the laws
are common, in many cases open
and the record of neither one of
the wardrns is such as to- inspire
confidence in the great majority of
the people of this section who are
interested in the conservation +
game and fish. The plain fact OF
the matter is that the state is not
we'll represented in this section.
If the game and fish commission is
anxious to give this section the
protection it must have to con-
serve it's wild life it will immedi-
ately take steps to have warden
put on duty here who will be quite
as vigorous, less lenient and more
tactful than. was Warden Wood.

which There was a good represen-
tation it was deided to send Jesse
Steitz, the local Marathon runner

is showing great form with the
javelin to attend the amateur
Olympic games at Chicago. A. Sa-
Velainen, John Maxi, F. w. Tervi-

vani were appointed a committee
to make the necessary arrange
ments and raise the funds. The
athletes at the Chicago Olympic

penses. Little difficulty should be
experienced in Virginia in raising
funds to have this city represented

The playing of the Northern
league team in the present at home
series has renewed confidence
among local fans and many are
now confident that the Virginians
are going to finish in the first
division. Manager Shannon has
been working under a good many
difficulties. In the present series
the team has been badly crippled.
Roth, Bennett, HanderoWe and
Stewart are all out of the game
on account of injuries. Roth is ON
crutches and it will be some time
before he will be, able to go in
again. In the meantime it has
been necessary to play the entire
pitching staff in fielding positions
The hitting strength of the team
has been considerably weakened as
q result. If the team were, all to-
gether there is no question but
what it is now one of the strong
est in the league. Despite its
weak ened condition it has been
winning consistently and all those
familiar with the conditions un-
der which the management i
working are confident that better
days are coming.

BY WAY OF COMPARISON.

One OF the interesting things Of
the commencement program OF the
Senior class of the Virginia high
school last week was symposium
on '"The American Newspaper" 1t
covered the faults of the news
paper thoroughly and in the main
was true in the charges it brought
against a. large share of THE pres
emit day school OF newspaper max
ing, while the suggestions made
for correcting the evils indicated
in the various oratiOus were high
ly interesting. But the errors OF
omission and commission charged
to the newspapers are 0mmon to
a number OF other influences that
are quite as Important as mOulders
o. public sentiment as are the
newspapers. For instane, admltten
that THE newspaper sometimes sup
presses the news, isn't it equally
true that the pulpit doesn't always
tell the truth. The newspapers
have sacred cows" likewise the
pulpit. The newspapers are often
dominated by large money inter-
ests. How about the lawyer who
fonsakes THE cause OF the people to
become the employe of the cor
poration? No one questions the
need of the endowed newspaper,
and everyone who has been in the
newspaper business for any length
Of time has no doubt felt the neeu
OF pratical endowment. However,
the newspapers as a matter OF fact
We're never better than they are
today. They were never as a
whole a greater influence for good.
The pulpit Was never filled by
eleanor or more able men and the
world was never better. The
newspapers are not yet perfect,
neither is the pulpit. The lawyer
of today is better equipped and
a more able man as a rule than
Was the barrister OF so years ago.
1t would be unfair to compare the
physician of this time with the
leech of the Elizabethan period
yet the doctors are still burying
their mistakes. Newspaper mel
everywhere in a full knowledge OF
their shortcomings as a class are
working to Overcome them and they
are succeeding. So are the minis.
tens, the lawyers, the doctors ant
all the rest of us. And we are al
succeeding better because we de
not take ourselves too seriously
Honest criticism is great aid
Honest men welcome it and beule-
tit by it and that is probably one
of the reasons why newspaper
makers are always willing to give
ear TO the laity and learn there
from when it rises up to hail the
craft before the court of public
opinion for misconduct or error.
