The county attorneys through their state or
CARNATIONS are planning to ask the state legisa-
ture to modify the scope of the grand jury Modi-
ications will be proposed which will not require
grand jury at every session of the district court
and under the proposed plan grand juries will be
summoned only when it is apparent that there is
extraordinary need for them. Much Of the work
now falling on the grand jury could be handled
by the minor courts at less expense than it's con-
sideration by the grand jury requires and the plan
of the county attorneys to curtail it's powers is
not without merit. The elimination of the grand
jury would also save police officers in many towns
a good deal Of trouble and needless work. If
there grand juries it would not be periodi-
caly necessary to law violators that it is in
session and certain of the range towns would not
have spasmodic seasons of virtue which are now
very annoying, especially to that element that be-
leves in wide open town.

AN UNDESIRABLE MIDDLEMAN

President Wilson is getting on very nicely
with the people of these United States despite the
fact that he is democrat. Mr.. Wilson's partisan
affiliations are not more serious today than are
those Of any in public life, for we are passing
the age Of parties, discarding the old system of
choosing public servants and daily getting nearer
the ideal condition by which men who are placed
in positions of responsibility and trust are chosen
more because of their natural qualifications and
capability than because they are the bell wethers
of any political organization ~zz@s' -
All our presidents are big men. We the peo-
pie are extremely tickle toward them The idol Of
today may have feet Of clay in the popular view

The success which is attending the county farm
at Duluth where victims of the drink habit and
petty offenders of all sorts are being taken care
of, instead of in the county Jail formerly, leads
to the suggestion that second farm be installed
somewhere on the range. A. P Silliman of Hib-
bing who has taken much interest in the county
farm movement suggests that a law be gotten
through the next legislature that would make the
establishment of farm in this section POSSIBLE
ity. The plan is good one. The county farm
method is the cheapest and most human method
of taking care of the class of people it is design
ed to aid and farm on the range, for which there
will no doubt be ample room, merely means the
ampliication of an idea that has already demon
strated it's practicality

eely condemn and usually the majority Of Us are

freely condemn and usually the majority Of US are
right.
Taken by and far President Wilson isn't such
q bad man on the Job. Despite the fact that he
was elected by a minority Of the popular vote the
Princeton professor is daily demonstrating him
self more than that. He is big, broad man. He
is making fewer mistakes than the average and
the public confidence in him is increasing.
Mr.. Wilson has done much since he took up his
residence at Washington that is commendable
but along no lines has he accomplished more sat
isfactory results than in his efforts to reconcile
so-called ''bg business" interests and the govern
ment. His course is rapidly eliminating the dis
turbing element the middleman, the politician, the
man who was really at the bottom of most Of the
misunderstanding the government, the people and
"big business" have had in the past.
The change will involve a squaring of present
business methods, and there is small doubt but
that it will also result in fairer conditions for all
concerned. Big business was never grossly dis
honest as whole, but as a whole it suffered in
the public esteem, because some few isolated cor
porations made the mistake of catering to the
politicians and ignoring the people.
President Wilson proposes an interstate trade
commission to facilitate business and keep it in
the straight path, legislation to abolish interock-
ing directorates and holding companies, better
regulation of railroad securities, laws that will
fix guilt upon the individual directly responsible
instead of Furnishing business as whole, the open
ing of the courts to individuals whose rights are
harmed by illegal business and other legislation
of an equally progressive nature.
Antagonist to "bg business" is waning. Much
of opIo
ly unjust. The country must readjust it's bust
ness conditions to a new order of things, brought
about by recent national legislation but after that
is accomplished we are going to have prosperity
on more substantial basis than we have had il
for some years past. President Wilson deserves
credit for bringing to us this condition.

The University Of Illinois is going to spend
100000 in the purchase Of farm lands for ex-
perimental purposes. Past experience and pre-
cedent elsewhere has convinced the regents and ad
mnstrative heads of the university that it is a
good and practical business investment aside
from all it's other desirable features. The time
is coming when every city will have a municipal
experiment farm that will pay it's own way Why
can't Virginia start one? It would be big adver-
tisement and properly administered it would pay
it's own way It might be tried out on the county
work farm plan. It wouldn't cost much and it's
establishment would indicate faith in the agri-
cultural resources of the surrounding country that
would be worth all it cost in advertising: =

every one of her large number Of friends and &C
quaintances will this week say regretful good
bye to Mrs. Mary H. James, for FL years resi-
dent of Virginia and for seven years postmistress
of this city. With this good woman to her future
home will go their sincere best wishes for future
happiness. Old friends will say farewell regret
fully for during 20 years residence in any city
there are formed many little associations whose
worth we do not appreciate until they are about
to be severed and whose sentiment is tinged with
a sincerity of which we are not ourselves fully
aware until the parting hour. This newspaper
is under many obligations to Mrs. James during
her incumbency of the Virginia postoffice. Her
uniform courtesy, her efficiency and her kindness
and consideration won for her the esteem and
warm friendship of all who knew her. That the
future years may be kind, that the shadow Of
sorrow may never cross her threshold and that
generous measure of prosperity may always be
hers is the sincere wish of the Virginia Enterprise

Governor Eberhart failed to appoint John Lind
a member of the board of regents of the Universe
ty of Minnesota There is little love lost between
Mr.. Lind and Eberhart, but the governor has made
a mistake. Mr.. Lind is one of Minnesota's big
gest men. He would have accepted reappointment
on the board but the governor alleges he was un-
der the impression that Mr.. Lnds present diplo-
matte mission would continue indefinitely. This
is merely one of Eberhart's subterfuges and it has
not increased the public respect for him.

opposed to the granting of liquor licenses to per-

There is good deal of truth in the claim Of
the friends of William E: Lee, the Long Prairie
candidate for governor, that Eberhart has stolen
his thunder. Lee sounded the economy and eff
cheney slogan in the campaign Of two years ago.
He was the first candidate to call attention to the
extravagances Of the state government of which
the present executive has recently taken cognz-
ance Mr.. Lee may not be elected governor, but his
candidacy two years ago was of inestimabe be-
net to the people forit largely made the issue of
this campaign. Eberhart would have been over
whelmingly defeated in 1912 if it had not been
for the divided opposition against him. He will
be overwhelmingly defeated next fall anyhow,
despite the organization he has been able to build
up since he has been governor for the people
realize their mistake Of two years ago and will
not be misled this year by the governors COM

fare of the state. His present attitude and his
past policies cannot successfully be reconciled.
