undoubtedly Mr.. Bliss, whom Professor Ross visit
ed while making the sociological survey upon
which his article was evidently based-had the
correct perspective. There is no denying that the
most of the social conditions Of which Mr. Ross
speaks are true, but the public schools are
building men and women for the second generation
who will be vast improvement upon their for
bears. The tendency on the range is toward bet
ter schools with better men in charge of: them
and higher standards of efficiency throughout.
These men and these schools may be depended
upon to work out the sociological problems of the
iron range and already there is ample proof that
they are doing so effectively

RANGE TOWNS SPENDING SOME MONEY


Nineteen thirteen passed into history as one
OF the most remarkable years in the history of
the iron range from the standpoint of municipa]
improvements affecting practically all of the range
Cities The spring elections of 1913 were marked
by some genuine upheavals and those citizens who
believed that the wealth Of the cities and villages
OF the Mesaba entitled them to things in the way
OF improvements that they had not had in the
past generally won out at the polls.
Hibbing the biggest village on earth led all
other municipalities. The total amount of money
it expended in paving, street lighting and other
improvements made a new record under the ad-
mlnlstratlon OF Mayor Power while it's tax levy
for 1914 is the largest ever made on the range
and is universally held to be good business.
The village of Chisholm also made substantial
improvements and Progressive Mayor BOYLE at
Bull and a council in accord with him have done
a good deal to make Bull a more attractive town
than it was year ago. There has just been COM
pleted an ornamental street lighting system that
is uptodate in every respect, and considerable i'm
provements to the village STREETS were made as
well. Next year Bull will lay considerable
amount of new paving and already it has NUM-
cipal heating plant that is proving fine success
and giving excellent satisfaction to it's patrons.
The village of Mountain Iron, the oldest on the
range, with taxable valuation of over $10O00,-
900 reused and began doing things. It has just
completed a new white way, made considerable
improvements along other lines and next year it
will pave. >...
Virginia began it's improvements some years
ago but it also did good deal of work along that
line. Er:.. 49," @..# r. -

Congressman Miller has made his report on
the Filipino situation to President Wilson, Doubt
less Mr. Miller is awaiting with interest the report
on the Filipino situation in the Eighth congress-
lonal district of Minnesota, which ought to be in
his hands from trusted lieutenants by this time.
incidentally MIR. Miller may be assured that
There's land of dopy dreams far from Filipino
themes, where the bolo men are hiking night and
day." which is not so far removed from the place
where the congressman must get votes that will
send him to Washington again if he is candidate
for reelection.

Judging from the newspaper accounts Duluth
kicked the lid clear off on New Years eve. CON-
missioner Hlcken has big job on his hands, but
ne seems to be built along the right lines to handle
1t and while he may have been surrounded by a
false glamour and be up against bad game he is
to be respected for his sincerity and fairness
Every friend of clean government everywhere
hopes Mr.. Hicken will be successful in CARRYING
out the policies which he has inaugurated but
some of his best friends are mighty skeptical If
ne doesn't succeed in making Duluth a Spotless
Town it won't be his fault however.

Here's New Years resolution for every citi-

another and to work for the upbuilding of the best

Minnesota has three development associations
and they are all doing something for the growth

were united in one they would make an organiza-
ton capable of accomplishing much more than all
three of them are at present accomplishing.

THE LAZARUS AT THE CITY GATE

The best thing about the disgusting spectacle
of the trial and impeachment of Police Commits
sioner S. A. Nelson is that it is temporarily over
WITH 1t will undoubtedly go to the supreme
court of the state of Minnesota on certorari pro-
ceedings for decision on legal questions. What
ever the decision of that court may be the moral
issue will not be affected.
Nelson was and is unfit to serve in public
capacity. He is distinctly goat, the cast-off
pawn and unfaithful servant of one political fac
tion picked up and exalted by another for the
making of such political capital as his temporary
befriending may result in. His removal necessi-
tated the performing of an eleventh hour Caesar
ian section by the city council. 1t was without
alternative in the matter and it did just what any
similar body Of men would have done under SINH
lar circumstances. Whether or not the evidence
submitted at his hearing justified that course is
matter Of individual opinion that can be based
only on the fractional affiliations of the one who
passes judgment.
| Quasl-judicial proceedings are always farci-
cal. They are demonstrated so wherever undertake
en-. The spectacle Of men taking oaths in such
proceeding is a solemn travesty. This fact
stood out in bold relief when Louis Cohen re-
sponded at Tuesday nights hearing to the oath
administered by President Boylan with signi-
ficant and trite "Sure Nike Cohen's response
was typical of the sincerity and gravity of the
whole proceeding
A great majority of the crowd who attended
the hearing found it an occasion for levity. Thew
laughed and applauded both sides of the contro-
versy. They were amused. From this condition
the deduction is fair that both men and political
factions too often allow themselves to reach that
state OF intense mental strain where thew are con-
WINGED that everybody else is as much interested
and aggrieved as are they, a form of mild de-
mentia. ;.
This newspaper is sincerely sorry for S. A.
Nelson. His opportunities in life have not been
large He is neither better nor worse than the
average Of his type. No man is perfect and even
Moses made mistakes. Nelson stands TODAY an
example of one of the plebean direlicts that are
incident to the game of politics.
If his case could be submitted to the people
tomorrow he would be repudiated, but it is doubt
tul If the charges against him would play as i'm
portant part to that end as his total unftness to
serve in public capacity. He is the Lazarus at
the city gate. He should be forgiven and his
friends and his enemies as we'll should extend to
him the broadcast charity. No one is particularly
interested IN his case In his present position
ne cannot do this city further injustice as pub
lie servant.

One thing that Virginia most needs is good
roads reaching to the rapidly developing farming

them is to elect the next commissioner for this
district from Virginia and one Of the best ways
to do that is for the city Of Virginia to get behind
one candidate and give him solid support

This is the time of the year when the county
printing fights are on over the state. Several are

respect. But they are not as numerous as in
years gone by and the responsibility of the pub
fishing business is vastly increasing thereby.

Both Governor Eberhart and State Auditor
lverson are in favor of an interior department to
have control of the states land and other natural
resources. The governors state efficiency COM
mission is now considering such department.
Mnnesota's iron mines, and state lands containing
much good timber have not on the whole been as
we'll handled in the past as they might have been,
while the administration Of it's iron lands has
been better than that of it's timber lands CONNER

state in the matter of it's undeveoped water pow

All these things indicate that the people Of the
range towns are waking up. Every one Of the
cities and villages of the Mesaba is rich in it's own
right. Every one Of them can afford fine school
buildings, paved and well lighted streets and
practically all Of them have them now. There
are those who think certain of the towns in the
Minnesota iron country are OVERRIDING things, but
it is difficult to see what grounds there are for
that argument. The range will always be one Of
the richest sections of Minnesota It can afford
to have in its villages and cities many things in
the way of municipal improvements that other
Minnesota cities could not think of and those of
it's citizens who believe in improving now have the
right idea
Taken all in all the people asserted themselves
on the iron range in 1913 as they never have be-
fore and the indications are that they will con-
tinue to do so until the Mesaba range is known as
one OF the most desirable home spots in the state
With that condition will come better things for
every community here. The people are right.
Murder is the result of blind pig braw at
Keewatin 1tasca county, Christmas morning. Two
thirds OF the crimes committed on the Mesaba
range may be traced to unlicensed drinking places
If range towns and cities could work out some
plan OF cooperation to the end that these uncens-
ed drinking places could be blotted out they would
be doing something really worth WHILE The blind
pig evil is tolerated on the Mesaba range because
the "better element in every town and city on
it permits it and the so-caed "better clement is
just as much to blame as anybody for that con-
dltlon. Outside of what has been done by the
Oliver Iron Mining company to free it's locations of
unlicensed drinking places there has been little
sincere effort made on the range to wipe out the
blind pigs, and that is the chief reason they are
still in evidence

President Meyer of the Federation of Miners,
is not big enough man to be at the head of any
labor organization. When Meyer denied the peo-
pie of Calumet the right to financially aid those
unfortunate people bereaved in the panic of
Christmas eve he stamped himself as a narrow,
opinonated bigot who places class hatred and re-
sentiment ahead of humanity Causes which
have for their chief head and champion men of
the stamp of Meyer suffer inestimably thereby
The Western Federation of Miners may have been
capable to meet all of the needs of the situation
in Calumet, but the spirit in which Meyer acted
only served to intensity the black class hate
which apparently has been growing in the Copper
country since the inception of the present labor
trouble, and emphasizes the whole situation as
one of the most deplorable that has ever existed
under similar circumstances in the middle west.

W. W. Haenke we'll known Wolf dairy farmer,
is back from trip to the Dakotas and says he
would rather have 40 acres of land in St. Louis
county than quarter section there Mr. Haenke
is one of the men who has demonstrated that
financial success can be made of farming in this
country. He brings to the administration of his
farm good business methods and he is able to
show in an interesting manner that 40 acres of
st. Louis county land is much more desirable
investment than is much larger tract elsewhere
In another decade there will be many farms quite
as good as is Mr.. Haenke's right around Virginia
and they will be worth triple the price they are
today. The man who is anxious for certain
future can do nothing better than invest his saw
ngs in St. Louis county land.
