ciates the value of a system of schools
organized to prepare scientific agri-
culturists and men and women to

Speaking of the one-teacher schools
Of the state, Mr.. Foght says: "While
the one-teacher schools of Minnesota
are as efficient as those in other
states, they have proved unable to

"As consequence, the state dis

Summer Resorts as Industries.

DIS xlluuSGIlCSs
Minnesotans are awakening to the
great summer resort advantages this
stats has to offer and in this connec-
tion the Grand Rapids Herald-Review
says:
An industry is commonly spoken
of in reference to any productive
business which employs persons and
makes a profit out of a finished ar
ticle-thus mandatory, mine,
farm or similar productive enterprise,
is classed among the industries of the
country. Up to the present time the
summer or winter resorts of this
country have not been classified
among the industries thereof, al
though they form a great source of
productive wealth in the regions
where they have been developed ex-
tensively Take Palm Beach, and
other resorts of Florida, and a great
many of the big seashore resorts Of
both coasts which have become in
dustries, so to speak, and may very
properly be classed as such.
1t is we'll known to some people
that the most famous of the seashore
and mountain resorts of this country
have been Systematically developed
and built up by civic organizations
cooperating with the railroads and
individuals owning and controlling
the resorts themselves. The surf
bathing along fine beaches, invigor-
ating climate, the wonderful scenic
beauties of the mountains-not one
Of the advantages has been sufficient
to develop the resort business with
out the systematic organization of
the men who expected to reap the
benefit.
Now just who does reap the benefit
from a we'll developed resort that is
patronized by hundreds and thou
sands during summer and winter in
this and foreign countries? Always
first the farms which raise the sup
plies to feed the guests, the business
houses that cater to them, the rail
roads and next the hotels which en-
terrain them. Eventually, everyone
in the community shares in this
benefit. Let us bring this down
home to us here in Itasca county,
and see what we have and what can
be done by organizing to develop the
resort business, and advertising our
region to the outside world.
We have the natural beauties of
forest and stream, with a most ad-
mirable climate and the finest fishing
to be found in the world. These things
represent our capital, hitherto and
even now, lying idle, undeveloped and
unproductive. We have seen that
without any help from us, these
splendid attractions gifts OF
nature, have already brought people
to our county of their own accord.
How much, greater this new in
dustry Will DecOme' oil " the pAon'
of the people here and the county it.
self, If it is taken in hand and prop
erly developed as any other business
is handled, can easily be seen.
p, Other counties around US are
waking up1to these wonderful advan-
tages.4. Beltrami county is going in
to; great campaign to develop ana
advertise, her resort advantages, and
the railroad company has signified q
willingness to join hands in the en-
terprise. Shall we of Itasca county
awake to- this great industry right
within! our gates? And who Will
take the initiative in getting our
business people together for organi-
cation? &@a:. ~ .';-5t'.,:

The Duluth Herald thinks it would
be better if the governor of the state

stead of being surrounded by bunch
of recalcitrant state officials, elected
by the people just as he himself was

depend largely upon who the COVER

CUES that such a course would place
all the responsibility for the state
government on one person. But
what good would that do? A misfit
governor, such as people sometimes
elect by mistake, surrounded by a
number of political creditors in the
shape of hold-overs and others, could
do lot of harm before the expiration
of his term.-Red Wing Eagle. i

The Minneapolis Journal thinks
Woodrow Wilson is greater than his
party. We don't believe it; we don't
believe any party leader has been
greater than his party. Whatever
good things have been accomplished
by Woodrow Wilson, have been done
in the name and in the spirit of de-
mocracy, and the inspiration to- do
them has come from the struggles,
labors and sacrifices of millions of
democrats for many years. In so far
as the president reaches out toward
the ideals which have inspired these
millions, so far is he their exponent,
but he is not greater than they. That
is ridiculous. 1t is king worship,
out of place in a free country, and
is uttered by those who hope the
president may not be greater, but
different.-Little Falls Herald.

How Nationals Are Hitting.

out at first base by Shortstop Scott.
Look at that hall, Billy-it broke just

umpire.
Evans did so and threw the ball out of
the game. a cursOry examination dis
closed three deep scratches. This ball
is one of the three Grff is holding as
evidence against Shore.
Umpire Evans also declared that he
had to warn Joe Boehling several times
about committing a bdlk: that President
johnson had made it imperative to all
umpires that the balk rule must be
strictly enforced this season.
According to Evans, BoehlinC has two
motions when men are on bases-one Is
legitimate, the other a balk. In the balk
motion Evans claims Boehling uses his
shoulders.
1t is going to he very hard to enforce
this baIk ruling" said Evans, because
a pitcher who has spent several years
perfecting a move to first base cannot
break himself of the habit in a few days.
! have decided to warn all pitchers first,
showing them Just why their moves are
illegal and then if they persist. l shall
call balks. obeying the instructions from
my chief"
The Griffmen got away to fairly good
start this season, playing four games
last week and splitting even.
For the next three days the Boston Red
Sox will he in our fair city, and on Thurs
day the club will be in New York, where
the American League season will be OFF,
cially opened in that city. with the Griff-
men the attraction.
Griffiths pitchers are thus far doing
all that has been claimed for them by
the baseball writers who awtched them
work in Charlottesville.
Although having one bad inning yester-
day, Boehling looked to have plenty of
winning stuff.
1t will be interesting to note if yes
terday's defeat is charged to Walter
Johnson, for it was off Johnson that
Boston got the hit that did the business.
On the other hand. it seems a bit tough
to charge the defeat to Boehling. for It
was through Moeller's error that the first
man got on the bases when the side
should have been retired.
A ruling on this game will be made by
Fan Johnson. or rather in his Office, and
il precedent is followed. the defeat will
be chaIked up against Johnson.
