composed. Vituperation and bill
lingsgate mixed with the added
product of much more added
brain. The Two Harbors Socialist
is not on the records as being a
newspaper and their circulation is
derived by sending marked copies
through the mail. The issue con-
tanning the above received more
circulation than any heretofore, all
of a dozen copies having reached
this city-at least six of which
found their way to the Miner Office.
AS the paper contains no name of
an editor nor the copies we receiv-
ed contained no reference to the
party kind enough to furnish them,
we are at loss who to thank FOR
them.
We don't actually blame the edi-
tor for not wishing to have his
name known. The work is not OF
such nature as to need a father.
In fact we believe no man outside
of Fergus Falls would be guilty OF
connecting such a mess let alone
fathering the same. The writer,
whoever he is, is very much liar,
plain and unvarnished. The citi-
zens of Ely are sorry that the seance
on the street was broken up before
the speaker had chance to pass
the hat-this seeming to be the
main complaint. We admit that
we are uncivilized insofar as this
class of gentry is concerned and
beg the pardon of the esteemed
gentleman CD who produced the
above. We will further remark
that everyone is unc1V1l1Zed IN the
eyes of the red bunch who do not
exactly believe just as they do.
We would further advise the Two
Harbors lovers of the anarchistic
outfit travelling about creating dis
turbances among decent people
that they had better keep their
oratorical Gods within reach or they
might be given a sorely needed
bath-providing they do not run as
fast as the fellow did here several
weeks ago and of which event the
above is the outcome.

house you are keen to have it put
in the paper, where your friends
will see it, thereby advertising the
fact that you are walking on eggs.
If the editor called you thief in
two line item and stuck it away
in the most obscure corner of the
paper, would you pass it by in the
belief that it would never be
noticed?'
NEVER! You would consider
yourself DETAINED before the entire
community, and would paw up the
earth in your bellowings. You
would be only too quick to concede
that every line in the paper is read
Yes, advertising certainly pays
There is no ad so small, or in
significant, but what some one is
waiting for it.
There are plenty of people who
want what you have to sell, but
they are weary of looking through
haystack for a needle. They
prefer to find it in an advertisement
And they will look in the Local
paper for the ad.
They will find someone's-but
will it be yours?

saw with their own eyes an exhibition
OF insane bigotry and ignorant brutal
ity which would disgrace the darkest
hour Of the so-called dark ages.
A Socialist speaker, Hatcher, by
name. from Duluth, was delivering an
address on Socialism to crowd as
sembled on a side street. Those who
were present. say that the speaker adj
dressed the crowd in calm and dig
nified manner, in clean and temperate
language calculated to appeal to the
reason rather than to the passions OF
men.
A number of Ely hoodlums who
own automobiles and therefore con-
slider themselves superior to ordinary
people, constantly disturbed the
speaker by honking their auto horns,
their evident purpose being to break
up the meeting.
When this means failed, some one
turned in a general alarm of fire, and
the fire department turned out and
drenched the speaker and part of
the crowd with the fire hose. All this
took place in supposedly civilized
town in supposedly civilized state.
The affair is said to have been insti-
gated by a man who runs hotel and
saloon in Ely and is known to be very
bitter in his antagonism to socialism.
do not know this man personally.
Neither do 1 know any Of the brave(?)
| tiremen who participated in the out
rage. nor the two policemen who
calmly walked away while it was 60
ing on.
i do not know to what species of
prehistoric beast these tiremen and
| the two policemen and the saloon
keeper belong. but [ do know that
they are not men. If they were men,
| this exhibition Of medieval bigotry
| and intolerance would not have &C.
Cured. No man who retained the
smallest shred of self respect, or of
respect for others, or had in him any
of the attributes of civilized human
being, could ever be an actor in such
an outrageous exhibition of Grass
| ignorance and gross brutality.
| / do not know what sort OF mayor
or what sort of councilmen or what
sort of chief of police Ely has, but l
am pretty certain that if they are
| fit to hold their offices, the saloon
keeper who is said to have started the
disturbance, will lose his license. as
he deserves: the two policemen who
neglected their duty by walking away
will lose their stars, as they deserve
and the firemen who figured in the
affair, will be kicked out of the de
partment, and sent to Jail, where they
properly belong, for civilized people
are not safe as long as wild men like
these are allowed to run at large.
! AS there are doubtless prep0nder
ance of good citizens in Ely, as there
are in all towns, suggest that if the
officials fail to carry out the above
suggestions for the suppression O
hoodlumism. the citizens who do moi
stand for that sort of advertisement
for their town; take steps to GUST TIT
delinquent officers from their posi-
tions and replace them with good citi
zens.

might by concerted raid, capture al

AND now comes the news that
the cane planters of Louisiana are
cutting up their plantations into
small tracts and trying to dispose
of them to fruit growers and plant
ers. Their sugar business has
been hit in the head by the free
traders. These planters are all
Democrats and wanted free steel.
1t simply goes to show that this
free business is not what it is crack
ed up to be.

DOES ADVERTISING PAY?

The other day a local merchant
elevated his chin. squared his
shoulders, assumed a belligerent
attitude, and defantly told us that
advertising doesn't pay"
He is still alive, but let us con-
slider a minute.
A London baronet who manu-
features pills has sold part of his
real estate for the tidy sum of $50,
900, 900. He made it out of the
profits of his business, and he built
that business up by advertising,
often spending as high as half a
million dollars a year in printer S
ink.
John Wanamaker, the best known
and most successful merchant in
this country, made his millions by
advertising and said so.
The great department stores OF
the country are kept alive by ad-
vertising, and are coming money
by more advertising.
You never hear of a large mer-
camille house in this country that
does not advertise, and advertise
heavily.
If politician wants to make
himself known to the dear people
he uses the most effective means
newspaper publicity. That is adj
vertising.

SYSTEM PUT IN
BY N. AND 0.
New E ectric Safety Device Installed
at Davis Junction Works
Automatically.

The Mobile and Ohio railroad
ye .terday completed the installation
of an all-electric interlocking plant
installed at Davis Junction. The
electric plant took the place OF a
mechanical plant that had been in
service a decade or more. The same
tower that was used for the me-
Chanical plant is being used for the
electric plant although it was en-
larged somewhat to accommodate
the storage batteries that were In
stalled in the bottom of the tower.
The electricity is supplied by the
Cairo Electric Light and Traction
Co. it being of a higher voltage
than is needed it is stepped down
by means of a transformer to a
mercury rectifier which is used to
charge the storage batteries.
All functions such as signals,
switches and derails are operated
and controlled by levers in the
tower. When a certain route is
lined up for a given train all other
routes that might interfere with
the progress of the train are auto
matically locked. When a signal,
switch o. derail has performed its
proper function q return indicator
is visible in the tower, thus indi-
eating to the operator that each
function has worked.
The electric plant enables trains
to make more progress due to not
, having to stop and is also easier for
the operator from a physical stand
point The interlocking plant was
installed by the General Railway
Signal Co., of Rochester, N. Y, un-
der the supervision of A j. Fehren'
