as 1t then existed and the act recited
that nothing in the proposed Law
should in any way AFFECT the said
school district. Later on the town
ship school district OF Crystal Falls
was incorporated under special act
and it's boundaries defined. The tin
kering OF the act to include Mansfield
might bring about such q change as
would invalidate the original act and
that Crystal Falls people don't want.
We have heard the motive OF the
Taxpayers Association impugned and
some very uncomplImentary remarks
made about Mr. Nicely who is the
agent OF this organization. The per
sons making those remarks are dead
wrong. We know, or at least we think
that we know, that the only motive in
the move was economy. This associa-
ton has been in existence a year As
we understand II II was conceived by
some OF the mining superintendent
who-do not reside in Iron county and
who had an impression that public
business in this county was carried
on loosely and extravagantly They
have investigated. through their
agent, every nook and corner OF pub
lic expenditures and we believe that
they are about convinced that they
were very greatly mistaken in their
original position. Naturally this as
sociation wants to accomplish some
thing and this Mansfield annexation
looked to them like good move. OF
course they stepped upon some ones
toes and 1t hurt but in doing so they
had no personal axes to grind and Mr.
Nicely is not deserving OF censure for
his action. Rather. he is deserving OF
praise for II has awakened the people
in some degree at least, TO a realiza-
ton OF what is and what is not the
right thing to do.
Opinions naturally differ. We have
many opinions at yarience with the
Taxpayers Association but everyone
is deserving OF credit for what they
have accomplished for good or what
they try to accomplish for good The
Association has brought the light of
day to the records OF all municipal
divisions by compelling the publish
ing OF those records. II they did moth
ing else OF benefit they are deserving
OF credit for that. We doubt the wis
dom OF this Mansfield annexation for
the reasons that we have stated: viz
1t don't seem fair to the people living
In the township-so long as they are
wise in their expenditures and we
doubt that Crystal Falls township
really wants the addition TO its terri
tory. especially the school end OF II
and whether the territory Is or is not
annexed, the fact remains that the
move was conceived with the best OF
motives.

the fellow doing the spending know
that you are watching him. II is a
well known tradition, handed down
from the early days, that Mansfield
township roads didn't get all the
money they were supposed TO get nor
did their schools get all the money
they were supposed to get and 50 we
might 20 through the list OF funds
and we might not confine ourselves
TO Mansfield township either
Yet. the improving OF this condition
was at all times in the hands OF the
mining companies, the people who are
now seeking TO vacate the township.
1t was mining superintendent and
mining employees that held the Offices
out there. as in other townships. Had
any outsider proposed, while mining
was in progress at Mansfield. that the
township ought 10 be annexed to
Crystal Falls he would have been
frowned upon severely and adriotly
pointed TO as disturber OF public
tranquility
Now, however. with mining wholly
suspended in the township, the same
Influences that had the moulding OF
public expenditures in its hands all
these years wants TO annex the town
ship to Crystal Falls for the purpose
of economy The only fellows left out
there now are few farmers who are
having their inning at the public
trough for the first time. II looks
rather one sided
Again. does Crystal Falls want
Mansfield township? We doubt il
very much and one of the principal
reasons for our assertion IS the jeal-
ousy with which Crystal Falls people
cling to their school district organi-
zation Any move that will affect that
organization one hairs breath will
meet with pretty determined opposi-
ton IL is not certain that the annex
alton OF Mansfield would affect that
organization but when you get to dis
turbing the status quo there are al
ways opportunities for jokers and
Crystal Falls wants no joker in its
school organization.

The resignation OF w. J. Bryan from
his position of secretary OF state In
President Wilson's cabinet is the
most important happening in govern
ment affairs since congress adjourn
ed. The fact that Pres Wilson and
Mr. Bryan differed over the wording OF
the reply to the German note Is made
clear to all in the text OF the letter OF
resignation. Mr. Bryan makes as an
excuse for his action the claim that he
couldn't sign the note without vio-
lating one OF the chief ends of. his
efforts; that OF keeping this nation out
OF war. Whether Mr. Bryan's state
ment is warranted by the fact can be

VIII MAIL ORDER HOUSES.

Sears, Roebuck B. Co OF Chicago
did a business last year amounting to
more than s1O1. OOO, 900, and earned
more than ten millions. This Is proof
enough that the big oncern Is not
giving its goods away. And this M
hundred millions comes from the lit
tie towns from all portions Of the
north and west, taking just that much
which should be kept az home for the
lettering OF home conditions. The
millions have gone to build up an
already enormously rich organization,
and has been largely contributed by
people who grow hoarse talking
against the piling up Of large bundles
Of wealth IN the hands Of individuals
and corporations. The prominent
Jews who are at the head Of that big
Chicago concern are keen advertisers.
They send tons upon tons Of cata-
logues into the towns OF The country
in which they derive their principal
business, and they well understand
the value Of printers ink. They have
won their immense millions through
advertising.
And they do no better for the peo-
pie than the average enterprising To-
cal merchant. Figure everything that
properly belongs in the account, and
the people can all do just as we'll at
home. will secure goods Of better
grade, will have them delivered car
rage free into their homes, will have
the guarantee Of the merchant be-
hind them, and often will have a
month or more IN which to pay for
them.
You pay Sears & Roebuck your hard
earned dollars and stand OFF, the To-
cal merchant for the things you buy
from him. And in addition you ex-
pect the local mar TO be cheerful in
giving TO every solicitor who applies
for relief for anyone. You expect him,
IN addition TO paying a big annual
tax for the upkeep Of public utilities,
schools, good roads, churches and
other things, to also contribute to
the help Of the man you want 10 send
away for the medical treatment, for
the widow who is unfortunate in be-
Ing poor, for the benefit Of The pas
tors salary, the organ and coal fund,
for all the society conventions, for
anything and everything that comes
along, and he constantly has his
hands in his pockets, responding 10
such appeals, many Of which are hold
ups Of the rankest kind. He digs
down for everything handed him, and
then, after he does all this many peo-
pie he has befriended send away from
home for groceries and other things
he keeps for sale and which he sells
at low prices, too.
II isn't a fair sort Of game. 1t hurts
the merchant and the town, and
there's no good reason for IL
Let's quit donating millions to
Sears, Roebuck & Co., and other out
of-town mail order houses, and help

dising and who are really a part Of us.
