The Virginia baseball team will tas
represented by q scout at the amateur
baseball tournament to follow the
closing of the worlds series at Cleve-

that it will be Miller. The latter has.
q wide acquaintance among the base

the gathering, is an excellent judgeeof:
talent and Manager Taylor has conf,
dence enough in him to believe that f.
he attends the tournament and there,
are any good men available he will be:
just the man to pick them up for Viz

The agitator. is q trouble breeder and
should be squelched before he begins
operations. As far as anyone can see
there is no necessity for this class Of

everyone seems satisfied and labor,
capital and business are as one family.
The agitator is not here for your
welfare, he is after the dues. The
strike at Calumet, Mich, is a fair
sample Of the dirt given the laborer
at the hands of the agitator. Prom
Uses Of assistance are not being full
filled and the workers are going
hungry while the agitator is living
high and helping himself.

Pine River Sentinel Blaze: It
takes Northern Minnesota's brain and
to start the measures
that make the upbuilding of the newer
portions of the state. The latest sug-
gestion for the development of North
ern Minnesota is that the state begin
a dynamite factory, and dispose Of
products to the farmers at a price
that will enable them to go in for
clearing land on larger scale. This
the state should do, and inasmuch as
the southern part Of the state has for
years been benefited by the manufac-
ture Of binder Irvine, by the state, il
would Sc no more than fair & The nor
thern part should have the opportun-
ity Of being benefited by the states
manufacture Of dynamite. The next
legislature will have this problem to
contend with, and it is an easy predic-
ton that it will be carried to favor
able conclusion. Northern Minnesota
needs this aid.

Every once in while somebody goes down to
Washington and inexpressibly shocks them. Secre
tary of State Bryan is the latest to get on the
nerves of the people of the capitol city and the
affection is spreading throughout the country. MIR.
Bryan is being accused of bad taste because he
appears on the lecture platform and recently was
on the same ''bl" at Chatauqua with ventri-
loquist, snake charmer and colored quartette.
so long as Mr.. Bryan does not neglect the affairs
of the Office of secretary of state no one is going to
object very seriously if he turns an honest penny
by appearing on the lecture platform. That is his
right. Whether or not it is bad form isn't going
to bother most people. Washington and the coun-
try at large has never yet suffered serious conse
quences from dad FORM"

The purchase Of the water and light plant has
developed the fact that that chapter in the present
city charter fixing the powers of the water and
light commission is obsolete and antiquated to the
point where if the commission lives up to it in the
conduct of the affairs Of the plant it would labor
under good many distressing obstacles Virgin
ia needs a new charter and needs it's badly. In
the meantime there is some talk of adopting here
the commission form of government. Without
jumping at conclusions hastily it would seem that
when the charter is revised the commission form
Of government might well come in for careful in
vestigation. If it could be made to serve Virginia
as well as it has many other cities it might well
be adopted here as the most effective plan for
municipal administration.

Only one stayed in the work, he going

The others took up work that would
at least assure them a living. Either
the churches have got to paystheir
pastors more, or there will havezto be

munity where there are not too many
churches to assure proper support
for the pastors in charge, and q union

have creeds which differ but a little
would solve4tha problem. It is rather
odd, perhaps, but minister and his
family must live the same as other
folks, and they should live at least
comfortably if they would do: their
best work. Some congregations seem
to think the Lord will provide, but in
these days Of iniquity He is doing well
to provide the ministers, let alone the
means whereby they and their families
shall live.

ENFORCING THE GAME LAWS.

Representatives Of the state game and fish,
commission have been making q trip over the1
:ange this week andin skiing up the sita1afiont
generally they find some room for complaint be-
:ause the range gun clubs have retained former
Game Warden Wood as their special agent They J
are of the opinion that the gun clubs Of the range
should co operate with the commissions regularly
appointed wardens. The state game and fish COM /
mission and many others do not yet understand
the situation with regard to the desire for more
rigid enforcement of the game and fish laws IN
this section. Mr. Woods dismissal has t
long since ceased to be an issue. He has been re-
tanned by the gun clubs who induced Sheriff Mein-
ing to confer upon him the authority OF a deputy
sheriff. because his record while servant of the
state inspired confidence in his ability to get out
in the country and do things that made him ter
ror to poachers and illegal hunters and fishermen:
No doubt any of the gun clubs will be just as will
ing to cooperate with the states regularly ap-
pointed wardens as they are with Mr.: Wood.
Primarily they want better law enforcement ana
it is Of slight consequence whose agent is the
medium. The reward system of paying wardens'
in this state is wholly unsatisfactory. There
should be more wardens. Game Warden Beatty
is doing excellent work. He has by far too much
territory to cover. MUCH Is expecLeO 1IOAA wa
dens Cummings and Harrington. Both are new
on the job, but if they bring to the discharge OF
their duties conscientious application they will
have plenty to do. The state game and fish COM
mission has made no friends for itself by its
tactics in this section recently 1t fails utterly
apparently, to understand that st. Louis county,
for instance is one of the last big game preserves
in the state and that it is not sufficiently patroed
at present. No one here is going to oppose the
state game and fish commission in any effort it
may make to give better protection and at the
same time no one is going to he inspired by it's II
ficiency until there is revision of it's practical
administration which will provide more men for
St. Louis, Itasca Cook and Lake counties and rele'
gate the reward system of paying it's wardens to
the southern part of the state where there is
little for the wardens to do except when the flights
of migratory game birds is on. The commission
will find the people of this section ready to CO
operate with it when it leaves off it's dilator,
er~.+ ~~n+ thu aaod
of the situation here and when the commission
becomes something more than clearing house fo1
the payment of personal political debts.
