JUDGE HEATH of Tower address

JUDGE HEATH of Tower address
ed an open letter to Game Warden
Woods through the Tower News
last week in which he brings out
some pertinent questions. He de-
plores the acts of the warden in
railroading men arrested for the
violation of the game laws to dis
tant places in the county for a hear
ing and asks why local judges are
given the go-by. Mr.. Heath is
right. There is no excuse in tax
ing man from Ely to Hibbing or
from Tower to Virginia for a hear
ing. The letter was the result of
taking a man from the head of
Lake Vermilion, SO miles by team,
past the municipal court at Tower
to Virginia, another 40 miles or
more by train, for the heinous
crime of having a skin of a muskrat
in his possession out of season.
Game Warden Woods has large
list of convictions to his credit.
There is a reason. An arrested
man would much rather plead
guilty to the complaint and be
assessed nominal fine than to be
put off from week to week for a
hearing and hauled from one court
to the other at various places in the
county at an expense for himself
and witnesses before his case is
heard.
This is being done regularly and
local judges are not allowed to
handle these cases because they
might be right and might delve
deeper into the cause than the mere
technicalities of the law on musk
rats, etc. The result would be
that many a man arrested would
go free and the wardens would be
short a conviction. The game
laws are arranged to make criminals
and not to protect game, and
should be thrown in the scrap heap
and new ones for the good of the
country placed on the books.
The system is wrong, all wrong.
And further, when a newspaper
or anyone else, speaks of the in
justice of the method, a howl at
once goes up among those who do
not know conditions. and those
who protest are Immediately classed
as champions of the poacher and
game law violator.

If the United States breaks off
diplomatic relations with Austria
let us hope that it means the send
ing home of every Austrian in the
United States who has not taken
out his citizenship papers here and
is showing his neighbors that he
wants to become one of us. That
the money he is making here stays
here. That his interests are
identical with ours. That he is
with us for a bigger and better
United States. That he is here to
stay and not for the money he is
going to take back with him after
awhile. If the breaking off of
diplomatic relations means this,
then hop to it Uncle and sign your
name to it so they can hear it.

IT seems that the principal part
of the fighting on the Ford peace
ship was pulled off by two preach
ers who maintained their own
private, patented, individual brand
of salvation was the pure dope.
As neither of the Cody beligerents
would back down and acknowledge
that Christianity was not a matter
of label or creed, Mr.. Ford decided
to quit trying to induce foreign
nations to peace and came home
almost a physical wreck. A repiti-
tion of the Jonah incident would
have helped the matter and the
two could have settled what a
helluvalot about Christianity they
did not know, in the belly of the
whale or in h. (meaning heaven,
of course.)

We would respectfully request
the secretaries of the various lodges
to send in the list of officers elected
for the ensuing year and the dates
of their installation. Sometimes
items of this nature are overlooked
by the local paper but not inten-
tionally. We might also remark
that lists of officers and names of
boards of directors of public insti-
tutions and other companies and
organizations are looked for by
outsiders in the local papers.

.REOF|EuD'S INTERVIEW
ONLY OWN OPINION
President Has Not Yet Crystalized
His Views on Problems Grow
ing Out Of War.
Secretary OF Commerce Is Said to
Have Embarrassed Administration
Severni Times BY His Indiscrect
Remarks

Washington, Oct. 2s.-The POSSIBLE
ity of Secretary of Commerce Red
held resigntng from the cabinet was
widely discussed here today as the re-
SUIT OF the circulation in high Of
iicial circles OF statements which have
been made by Redfield as to meas
ures which might be adopted to
prevent the dumping of European
goods at the low prices in the Amer
lean markets at the end of the war.
FoiloWlng a conference with the
PRESIDENT yesterday. Secretary Red
held announced that he would RECON-
mend to Congress the enactment of a
law making the dumping of foreign
made goods at below the market price
punishable as violation of the anti
trust laws. Mr.. Redfield In state
ment attributed to him outlined the
legislation which he had in mind and
the impression seemed to be convened
that his views represented the concu-
sion OF the Wilson administration on
the matter.
The Presidents close friends gave
evidence of surprise when they read
Mr.. Redfield's statement today. Steps
were Immediately taken to ascertain
II the President had authorized any
such utterance and an emphatic de-
NAL was made that the Secretary of
Commerce had voiced any opinion but
his own. 1t was said with sharp en-
phasis that the President had done
nothing more than ask the heads OF
certain departments TO make sur
vey of the general economic and in
dustrial situation as it might be af-
fected by the war and submit re-
ports to him that the Presidents
mind is entirely open on all of the
plans which have been suggested 10
him and that he intends to keep his
mind open until he considers the m
formation before him Is full, COM
plete and satisfactory.
The character of this denial and the
indications given in official circles of
resentment against Mr.. Redfield for
the statement made. caused a consider
cradle furry here. The denial was
interpreted by many as rebuke to
the Secretary OF Commerce and was
regarded as indicating that the Pres
ident himself had been displeased.
The matter was taken all the more
seriously because of the fact that the
incident of today was viewed as a
sort of climax to a number of SINH
lar incidents which seem to have pro-
duced the belief among certain of the
Presidents advisers that the head OF
the Commerce Department Is lia-
bility rather than an asset to the VIII
son administration.
Mr. Redfield's conduct of the Fed
eral investigation OF the Eastland dis
aster at Chicago was vigorously cri-
ticized and an element OF political
danger for the administration was
seen in it by some of the Democratic
leaders The President came to Red
fields support, however --
