THE hearing on the county divi-
sion bill developed some startling
disclosures and considerable acri-
mony. Mayor Powers of Hibbing
who was recognized as the chief
push behind the measure has come
off his perch and is willing accord
ing to late reports to have the
measure 60 to a vote of the people
of St. Louis county. A consider
able amount of personal heat and
much time could have been saved
had this clause been embodied in
the bill when first put up to the
committee. There is every indica-
ton there would not have been a
personal fight made on the measure
but the main battle would have
been with the people at the polls.
Several years ago, Hibbing and
several of the other towns, advocat-
ed the making of bill giving the
people chance to vote on division
without the county seat designa
ton. Later the papers of Hibbine
came out for the forcible division
of the county by an act of the
legislature and Hibbing was tt
have had the temporary county
seat. Should the legislature pu
the affair up to a vote of the people
it would be the proper caper
Probably the taxpayers know what
is best for them. At least the OPP.
position to the measure showed
that some of them at least knew
what they were about We have
always contended that the question
should go before the voters of St.
Louis county on the bare matter OF
division. We could later thrash
out the county seat difficulty
among ourselves.

like to have the senate explain why
they did not allow the suffrage

We were sitting round the fire

Pipes lit; smoke curling slowly
Towards the ceiling of the shack.
When the conversation drifted.

And we quoted some few cases

AS the fire cracked gaily.
| In its warmth we felt our best.
Outside. wind howled and whistled

And had struck moonlight chance.

Not minute did we loose.

In jig time sweat the booze.

But the lad he didn't savvy,

That he'd got a dirty deal.

And altho we tried our damdest

MARRIED MAN SUED

court a large number of letters in which
the defendant refers TO her as "a little
dove" my baby. dear sweetness" and
uses other endearing terms. A poem
which she said was written by him was
entitled. "Our Loving Experience"
Miss Brown, who is of prepossessing
appearance, testified that she met Mr..
Haynes in July, 1912; that he accom-
panied her to dances and other places
