ter campaign against him because they realize that before another opportu- nity rolls around the state will have been redistricted and the Seventh so arranged that the strength of the op- position will be broken.
 It is reported that the national com mittees of the republican and "progres- sive" parties-or rather the leaders of the anti-democratic organizations-ar preparing to contribute funds to large amount in order that Burnett may be beaten. Their real fight in Alabama will be in the Seventh. They have no hope of accomplishing their nefar- ious purpose in any other field.
 When Republicans Ruled
 The Seventh district in the Fourty. fourth and Fifty-fifth Congresses was represented by M w Howard. a re- publican. When the hour rolled around for democrats to nominate standard bearer for the fight for the Fifty sixth Congress a convention was ordered for Springville in St. Clair county. MT. Burnett was a delegate to that con venton. For hours and hours ballot ing was had with no result. The dead lock" was apparently unbreakable. And finally Mr. Burnett was proposed s a dark horse" His nomination, amid great acclaim. followed.
 
 nomination MT. Burnett told the demo- crats in convention-and subsequently,, the democrats of the district a whole-that if he defeated the republicans he would expect his own people to keep him in office It is reported furthermore. that the promise was made. The promise has been kept. For very seldom has Mr. Burnett been compelled to defeat a democratic opponent for the nomination. nd far bp ,pntlipHnS con cerned they have been troublesome, but never formidable.
 Last April. Mir Burnett had a fight On his hands. His opponent was l.. B. Rainey, a democrat of Gadsden. Mir Rainey is a popular and talented young man with what appears to be bright future before him. Alr. Burnett, how ever had little material trouble in de- featinr him The nominee carried every county in the district. Etowah, the home county of both the candidates, gave MT. Burnett only q small majority. This was taken as compliment to the popularity of both men.
 For all these reasons, the situation In the Seventh is one of great interest
 There is no question bn. that when the state is redstricted (and # will be redis- trlcted before another congressional cam paign is waged). MT. Burnett will be taken care of It is probable that certain coun- ties with strong republican sentiment will be Topped off and put into another district. one where democratic strength so predou1nates that there will never be danger of Alabama sending a republi- can to Congress.
 So if Mr. Burnett wsutners the gale this year. he will be all right it is probable. for the future. It would be nothing save the irony of fate. however. should he after having fought so long and so gal lantly and so successfully for democratic rule. go down into defeat-wth the bright premise of future security stretching like rainbow before him.
 Despite the activity of republicans and their reported plan to secure pelf from outside sources. Mir. Burnett and his friends are confident.

Orders have been received to
clean up the old stock pile. 1t is
being taken clean as they go by the

RANGE SCHOOLS
Second to None in the United
States

That the range schools, in build
ings and equipment, are second to
none in the United States, is the
opinion of S. ]. Race, manager of
the Minneapolis Teachers Agency.
Mr.. Race has just returned from a
tour of the ranges, during which
he inspected all the city and village
schools there. Mr.. Races duties
have made it necessary for him to
visit schools in all parts of the
United States. and he may, there
fore, be looked upon as an author
ity on school equipment. His
opinion of the range schools
follows:
Any school man living in
Southern Minnesota and for the
first time visiting schools on the
iron range, is impressed very deep
ly with the magnificent equipment
that he finds. 1t would be impos-
sible to specially designate any one
school and say it the best equipped
one or that it is doing the best
work. The schools at Ely. Vir-
ginia, Hibbing, Bull, Eveleth,
Chisholm, Biwabik, Gilbert and
Mountain Iron have equipments
second to none in the United
States.
1t has been my pleasure to
have visited schools in all parts of
the United States, in the largest as
we'll as the smallest of our cities,
but | can find no more substantial,
no more complete and no more up
to-date equipment than 1 found in
the schools on the range.
Certainly the superintendent
have had in mind the value of
environment when planning the
building of these magnificent school
buildings. The grounds surround
ing the buildings are noticeable
for their beauty. and the buildings
themselves are, from a sanitary
point of view, remarkable exhibit
tons of what cleanliness means.
The lighting, heating, and the
toilet systems are the very best that
modern science can furnish.
The work of medical inspection
and direction in all of these schools
is remarkable. The records of the

ELY HIGH WINS
Defeat the Tower Boys in We'll
Played Game

The Ely High School football
boys took the game from Tower
Saturday by score of too. The
smallness of the score indicated
that both sides played excellent
ball. The ground was wet and
the game was played in rain after
having been put off for an hour or
more in the hopes of clearing up.
The teams were evenly matched
in weight. Tower made some very
expensive fu1nbles of the wet and
soggy ball. Mike was the star
performer for Tower while White
did the best work for Ely.
The teams will probably meet
again shortly and the game will be
played on the Ely field.

Ho|d-Up Staged

Tuesday evening just after Frank
Onus had drawn his pay for the
previous month S work at the Pho
neer mine and while returning to
his home at the Chandler location
he was held up at the point of a
gun and relieved of his entire roll.
The hardest part of the affair is that
Onus had drawn pay for the first
time after an illness of quite time.
The police worked on the case but
failed to discover any clue to the
robber. During the entire exist
ence of the city, there have been
only a few cases of hold-ups there
and the case presents quite a
novelty.

Cornwall England in 1916. Wher
10 years of age he removed with
his parents to America, the family
settling at Bedford, Pa. where hs
resided until after his marriage
Later he removed to the mining
district of Michigan settling al
Quinisec. In 1888 Capt. Cowline
and family removed to Tower
where he was employed at the
Minnesota mine. In 1891 the
family came to Ely where they
have resided since. During all his
life Mr.. Cowling followed the
vocation of miner and he was
recognized as one of the best min
ing men on the Vermilion range.
During the first years of his resi-
dence in Ely he was employed at
the Chandler mine and later at the
Pioneer.
Mrs. Cowling and four children
survive him. The children are
Mrs. Thos. Williams of North
Freedom, Wis, Mrs. VIM. Harvey
of Battle Creek, Mich, Mrs. w.
M. Stuck of Pine City and w. H.
Cowling of Proctor. All were at
the bedside when the end came
with the exception of Mrs. Stuck
who arrived Wednesday. Capt.
Cowling was a member of the
Masonic fraternity. the Knights
of Pythias and the Odd Fellows.
He has been a member of these
orders for AZ, 40 and 40. years in
the order above enumerated.
The funeral took place yesterday
afternoon from the M. E. church,
Rev. Williams officiating. The
funeral was in charge of the
Masons, a large number of the
members of the order from Tower
and other points being in atten-
dance. The Odd Fellows and K.
of P's also attended in a body.
The remains were laid away in the
Ely cemetery.
In the death of Capt. Cowling
Ely loses a good citizen and the
citizens warm friend. The
bereaved family have the sympathy
of the community in the loss of a
husband and father.

examined. / doubt if there are
any schools in the Northwest that
exceed the iron range schools in
the very careful supervision given
the child's health, touching eyes
ears, teeth and general physical
development. To think that q
school will have prepared a chart
of the child's mouth, and the loca-
ton of all imperfect teeth, noted
under careful dental clinics, and
this record sent to the parents, is
remarkable, to say the least.
The superintendent on the
iron range believe that a child S
health is an important factor in a
child's education; that a child may
perfectly hear, perfectly see. and
perfectly masticate its food, seems
to be an important part of the
education of the child on the iron
range. The nurses work, and the
careful examination by competent
physicians must necessarily add to
the strength of any school system.
Touching retardation; which is
many times so prevalent in schools
similar to the range schools, we
believe they are reducing it to a
minimum, because of the personal
interest which is centered in the
child. 1t would be impossible to
say that the instruction from the
teachers on the iron range is super
ior to the instruction of teachers
in other school, but one can say
that the teaching force on the
range is of a superior quality, and
exceedingly great care is exercised
on the part of supervisors in the
selection of the teaching force.
They have high standards, and
almost ideal conditions prevailing,
touching the teaching force.
There are few schools in the
Northwest that have such spacious
gymnasiums and swimming pools
as are found on the iron range.
Gracefulness, strength and beauty
in ones physique are brought out
in the swimming exercises, to say
nothing of the cleanliness of the
body, or the ability to save ones
self in case of accident. while
travelling on the water.
1t has been said that the range
is noted for its superior equipment,
its buildings and not for the educa-
ton of children. This we believe
cannot be substantiated by an in
vestigation. The minds of the
children on the iron range are
alert, they are quite as correct in
the expression of thought, and are
fully up to the standards required
in the larger cities, where perhaps
more expert supervision is exer-
cised.

TOURIST TRADE
Forest Amendment Will Keep
Minnesota Mecca foIs Tourists
LOOK FOR AMENDMENT NO. 9

Minnesota some day can be made
the paradise of the tourists, the
Switzerland of the United States
The scenic beauty of Our North
woods, the bracing summer eli
mate, the sky blue waters and the
abundant supply of fish and game
are not surpassed. All that is
necessary is to develop what we
have, and Amendment No. 9 for
State Forests, to be submitted to
vote November 3rd, will help to do
this.
The Adirondacks in New York
obtain $18, 100000 year from the
tourist trade; the Maine woods,
$12, 100000 annually, and one
third of the people of Switzerland
are supported by summer vacation
lists. There is no reason why
Minnesota should not be as popu-
lar.
Our scenery is as attractive as
that of New York or Maine. We
have the natural advantages a
tourist desires and by the develop
ment of the opportunities that are
ours, the state can be made the
Mecca for thousands of tourists.
They should flock to Minnesota as
t he recreation- seekers do to
Switzerland.
By the development of our tour.
list trade the whole state will rear
the rewards. The farmer, the
merchant, the hotel keeper, each
will reap his share. Already hun.
dreds of thousands of dollars are
being spent in Minnesota by pleas
seekers from St. Louis, Omaha
Kansas City, Chicago and Other
Cities of the Mississippi Valley
This sum can be multiplied into
the millions. We are already
gaining the reputation as the play
ground of the Middle West and oul
state is known to contain more
game than other state east of the
Rocky Mountains.
But in order to retain our natura
attractions, we must take care Of
our forests. They are going fast
and with their passing, the game is
disappearing as well. The solution
lies in the establishment of perma
nent forests as provided in the
Ninth Amendment. This will moi
only perpetuate the forests, but
they will also serve as refugees fol
our wild forest life. The State
Forests Amendment is the corner.
stone for a policy of this kind.
Amendment No. 9 providing fol
State Forests stands for SOUND
business. Not to vote at all is tc
vote against it. Remember thi:
