Members of the school board and
DR.. P. P. Colgrove drove out to the

Interesting Pamphlet Handsomely
Illustrated Is Circulated by the
-: Oliver Mining Co.

Copies of the bulletin of the j Blu
reau Of Safety, Relief, Sanitation
and Welfare of the United States
Steel corporation are being circulate
ed in Virginia this week by the Oil
yer Iron Mining company and are be-
ing received with unusual interest
and appreciation. .
The bulletin is handsomely print
ed book Of rs pages filled with illus
trations taken in the mines, at the
docks and at the eastern furnaces
and manufacturing plants intended
to increase interest among employees
in the safety first, relief, sanitation
and welfare work as we'll as to give
the public at large some idea of the
scope of this work as it is carried on
by the United States Steel corpora
ton and it's various subsidiaries.
The Bureau of Safety, Relief, SAM
tation and Welfare of the United
States Steel corporation has now
been in operation for three years. 1t
is in charge of a manager whose en-
tire time is spent on this work and
that it has served many useful pur-
poses and is constantly charging the
scope Of it's activities is indicated in
the bulletin.
The greater field of activity up to
the present time seems to have been
in the eastern steel manufacturing
centers, but in the mining country
special attention seems to have been
given to the safety and relief SANTA
ton work while beginnings are be-
ing made in the other lines.
Among the illustrations are pic
lures of the sanitary drinking foun-
tains on the main level of the Alpena
mine near Virginia and $50 feet un-
foreground in the Leonidas near Eve
leth. A street scene is shown from
the Oliver location in Virginia, the
Monroe location at Chisholm is
pictured as we'll as one of Chisholm's
residence streets occupied by the
homes Of miners. There are also ex-
terror and interior views of the Oil
vcr club house at Hibbing.
To review the book at length and
give attention to it's many interest,"
ing features would require more
time and space than The Enterprise
is able to give it this week.
It is very interesting, especially as
it indicates a good many OF the
things the United States Steel cor
poration is doing for its employees
which are not generally known. One
Of the most important facts CLEANED
from casual review Of it seems to
be that the United States Steel
corporation is finding it's welfare
work attended with highly beneficial
results in increased efficiency and
loyalty amony it's employees.

three months ago he was approached
by one Of the states high salaried In
spectors and given to understand that
from two to three convictions month
would be all that was expected Of him,
as any more would put the other war
dens and the administration s'sin bad"
He was told that "of course, we must
protect the governor, who is very
friendly to the state game and fish
commission" He was later informed
by Inspector Thomas Story Of Duluth
that he would have to sever his con-
nection with me and the range rod
and gun clubs or turn in his badge.
However, Mr.. Cummings happened to

man of considerable means, and a
descendant Of Scotch-Irish family

quit working as he was doing to save
the remnant of wild life. He was &C.
cordingly asked to turn his badge and
credentials in.
Commission Stings Gun Clubs.
The Commission has not yet, how
ever, settled balance due him of
$500, besides owing the range rod and
gun club a large amount due them as
rewards for convictions which it has
repeatedly promised to pay. Under
these conditions, it is easily apparent
that the state game and fish commits

could not ask the business men COM
prising the several gun clubs of the
range to advance me any further SAL
airy out of their own pockets. They
have given me loyal support for a
long time and now the commission has
promised through it's inspector to
give the range salaried warden to
be selected by the clubs and to settle
up the amounts long past due. Let
us hope they keep their word better
than in the past and that man is an
pointed who will do all that he can
to stop the awful slaughter of the re-
mnant of big game now going on, for
it is common knowledge that there has
not been time in the past five years
when there was so much open viola
ton Of the game laws as there is this
winter. The election is too close to
expect political wardens to secure
many convictions. The only big game
OF consequence left in this section is
in a narrow strip in the northern part
of the state near the Canadian line
and in the game reserves which are
indifferently guarded. Within few
hours hide of Duluth vension and
moose meat is being served to hund-
reds of men working in mining and
logging camps.
"Let US hope for the best and wait
for the time when a game warden
will be chosen because of his natural
fitness for the position and not be-
cause of his qualifications for corrall-
ing votes, or his disposition to con-
tribute to the campaign funds.

The Simplified Spoilers

A new and more radical simplified spelling movement has been started Lincoln, Nebraska Notwithstanding the favorable position of Lincoln the home of Mir. Bryan. to which he flies from the Chautauqua circuits or the of the foreign of any more ice than it's predecessors have done It has always seemed to that the simplified spoilers have never comprehended the difficulties of the task which they have for themselves.
 In the first place the simplifed forms are very little easier than the spelling which we learned in the lower grades, have made a stab" at learning, and men and women who have accom- plished that much are not willing to throw it aside and learn something and of doubtful superiority
 The writers that is the authors and news paper men upon whom the prevalence of the system must depend, going adopt it. In fact, they could without d more serious inter- ference with their work than those who are not writers can comprehend. Though simpfied form might be adopted in all the schools, in all prob ability it would never spread far beyond them. A result might be that would have forms of spelling used in correspondence and another in general literature. Some teachers and pupils of schools where simplfied spelling has been taught send communications in bad English and simplified spelling newspapers and magazines where pro fane copy readers correct the English and the old form of spelling.
 Changes in the form of English words are curing steadily and naturally. They do arbitrarily by convention. but in the change is a record, preserving the history of the words which the smpiified spoilers would ruthlessly efface

 Some of the writers inclined argue against the injustice of the double standard but there is no room for argument there. There is defense of it. The consensus of opinion among the writers is that, approach higher civilization and making of our laws the double standard will dis appear.

An Unconsidered Effect

effect of commission manager form of government that has, perhaps not been greatly con- sidered is the interest it will arouse in young men the public service If our government turns to be d successful one, many ambitious young in Phoenix will in it opening through which he may pass and from which many avenues lead to places of profit and distinction These positions will compare favoraoly with the highest and best to be found in private business We believe that within few years all progressive towns and cities in this country will adopt the com mission manager form. Those which adopt it earliest may be made seed-beds for plants to be transferred to those cities and towns where this form installed later.
 Not only will expert city managers be in de- mand The creating of service departments and of municipal official positions, to- gether with the demand citizens efficiency and proficiency in city afafrs, will demand the pick of young for these positions. Under our charter and constitution debarred from the privilege of selecting experts. But in other where the commission manager permitted, there such bars and doubtless will be removed when we come to perceive that homer rule does not that the appontve offices shall be held by citizens when come to understand that the people rule and not the appointees.
 Municipalities asking today what do rather than where he lives. The day when city employment dependent upon the political career or friendships when pull instead fitness counted, is happily passing
 The idea of commission manager form O government is under which might go, the railroad companies do for the best service, wherever we find it. A city manager chosen for his known capability might be able to find in the city which he has been called the best men the places under him. He should therefore be limited to a choice among the residents that city; but he should be allowed to call in men whom he knows be capable and trained. Citizens really interested in their fellow citizens holding office, but they deeply interested in securing the best public service. This understanding will naturally follow the operation of the commission manager form
 Another effect of the successful operation of this form of government will be the quickened interest in the public service. Hundreds of young and women who will have no idea entering it, but who have already selected other vacations will make study of it. with the result that it will be the better for their espionage. They will vote more in telligently candidates for elective offices. We expect the time will when the study of the curriculum and that in consequence, the schools will turn intelligent voters to overwhelm the hoodlums and the heelers the polls.
