GRAFT FOR THE PANHANDLE
War Has Developed New Glass, and
He 10 Making Charity Pay
Him Weli.

A brand new kind of panhandler has
been developed by the European war.
He sails the ocean blue. He clusters
around the quays of Rotterdam and
Southampton, with bandages on his
head and on his arms and legs. He
shambles and shunts his way into the
steerage of the big liners going to
America. And on the way over he
tells pitiable stories of the frightful
suffering the war has brought upon
him.
He starts the telling of his harrow
ing tales in the steerage and tells
them necessarily, SO that finally they
get to the ears of the steerage stew
ards, then to the ears of the second
class, then to the first-class stewards
and presently the affluent passengers
Of the upper deck know the stories.
And these may be depended upon,
with their sympathies thus quickened,
to look up the unfortunate and pour
lavish charity into his hands.
The feature of the story of this
brand of panhandfer that always calls
out the biggest flow of gold Is when
they say they are coming to America
to try to build new homes and send
for families left half starving in their
wrecked native land, but that they
are without the wherewithal-the $50
of cash necessary-to permit them to
be admitted to the new country. They
usually get about five times $50 from
the wealthy passengers.

dad" Heath in the Tower
News makes some very pertinent
remarks on auto driving. They
are strictly to the point and well
timed. He lays particular stress
on the necessity of doing away
with the driver who drinks intox-
icants and the driver who owns the
road. An engineer on a railroad
has to serve long time before he
is given an engine while any stiff
with money enough to buy mach
inc or can sit behind wheel is al
lowed to terrorize the highways.
The time is coming when it will be
a crime legally to do these things
and the time is not far distant.

AN authority on automobiles re-
Gently made use of the following
words in speaking of the noise
making cut-out on cars; Just
why manufacturers will continue to
turn out cars with a muller cut
out we cannot understand. espec-
tally in view of the fact that it is
against the law in nearly every
state in the Union to use them. 1t
has been proven time and time
again that the muller is of no ad-
vantage as far as power is concern
ed until car is going at rate of
speed in excess of thirty-6ve miles
an hour, and as it is against the
law to travel over-twenty FIVE miles
an hour in practically all of the
states we cannot but feel that the
manufacturers should be compelled
to build their cars without a muf
fer cut-out. We understand that
it is sometimes almost nee.
cessary to cut out the muller when
testing out an engine, but this
can easily be provided for by hav-
ing a cut-out arranged beneath the
floor boards and not where it car
be operated by the driver at will
without taking up the floor boards. .

SETTLED A KNOTTY POINT
Professor Of Law In Missouri Univer-
sity Has Made Somewhat I'm
portant Decision.

On what day does one become OF
age?
This question was suggested by q
story in the Missourian which told
how couple had to wait "a hours for
q marriage license, because they ap-
piled on the day before the prospective
brides eighteenth birthday anniver-
sary.
OF course no one thinks Of having
q birthday celebration on any day ex-
cept the anniversary, but, according to
Manley o. Hudson, professor of law
in the university, q persons age
changes legally the first instant OF the
day before the anniversary Of his birth
day.
"The reason" said Professor Hud-
son, lis that 1t Is not convenient to
count the fractions of day as would
have to be done in case the change
were determined by the exact time the
person was born. On the day before
ones birthday, one has completed an
even number Of years Of life, and it 10
figured that the age changes on that
day."-University Missourian.

There's more than one way to han
die the cooking problem, as one good
housewife has studied out to her own
satisfaction. Her eyesight is not as
good as once it was, hence she is the
possessor of two pairs of glasses.
The other day she was engaged in
cooking and she was using the specta-
cles that she customarily wears about
the house. Then as she turned to do
something else she was seen to take

Goldfeld, New. where city of
$4,000 population has been cut
down to a city of less than 5000 in
population. The larger part OF this
decrease was due to the activities
of the I. w. w. The same con-
dition applies everywhere the outfit
have secured hold.
Yesterday the Mesaba range
cities were considerably excited by
the acts of the strikers fired by the
agitators. At Hibbing clash fol-
lowed the carrying of a red flag in
parade and at Virginia yesterday
one man was killed and several
others wounded in clash between
the Oliver police and strikers. 1t
is learned that all the underground
mines of the Virginia district have
been closed. The same will apply
here if the miners themselves do
not take measures to keep
themselves working by refusing to
listen to the agitator and refuse to
stop work.
AS far as the MINER has been
able to ascertain there is no dissat-
isfaction among the miners of the
Vermilion range. The wages paid
here are the best ever paid and the
promises are that this will continue
for some time unless some such l..
w. w. nonsense makes its appear
ance. Should any disturbance arise
here it is the intention to shut down
completely.
In particular, we wish it distinct
ly understood that the red flag has
no business in this country. At
the present time, and all other times
the stars and stripes are good
enough for the American and if the
disciple of the red rag does not like
this, it is up to him to getto'ell out
of here back where he came from.

supplied with news of Ely but how
far this goes we are not prepared
to say.
There is no room for this class
of prosperity wreckers" in Ely
and all efforts will be put forth by
the citizens here to see that they
are kept out. Some drastic meas
ures may be necessary but there is
no doubt that there will be forces
sufficient to carry them out in case
the occasion demands.
Anticipating some such conting-
ency, the City Council at their
meeting Tuesday evening adopted
the following resolution which
means just what it says and will be
enforced:
RESOLUTION.
WHERE it has come to OlI
notice that an agitation Is afoot In
the City of Ely and vicinity thereof
that public meetings and assem-.
blages on the public streets and pub
lie places In the City in relation to
the agitation of labor troubles will be
held, and that riot and disorder is
liable to result from such agitation
within the City of Ely.
Be it therefore resolved that al
parades and professions of all kinds
and all public gatherings upon any
of the streets, parks, or public grounds
of the City, be, and they hereby are
prohibited during the duration OF
the next sixty 1907 days ensuing here
after. And that all public speeches
and meetings and assemblages and
parades and professions of every kind
and nature during said period of time
on the public streets, alleys, parks
or public grounds of the City of Ely
and all assemblages of people upon
any of the streets, parks or public
grounds of the City of Ely are pro
hibited during the time as herein
before stated. Provided, however
that the Fourth of July parade Of
the children of the City of Ely intend
ed to celebrate the Independence
Day shall not be construed to come
under this prohibition.
That this measure, is. by the City
Council of the CITY Of Ely deemed
necessary for the preservation of pub
lie order within the City and to pre-
vent rioting, disturbance and disor
derby conduct within the City during
the period above named.
But the resolution shall not be sc
construed as to prohibit the Citizens
and residents of Elv only for march
ing in an orderly manner on line oil
march as may be directed by the
Mayor or the Council of the City OF
Ely providing however that the pur'
pose and intention of such parade
shall be first approved by the Mayor
and the said Council of the City OF
Ely and that a written permit be first
obtained from the said Mayor or City
| Council.
That this resolution shall become
effective upon its passage and ap
prevail by the Mayor.
Provided, further. that for good
reasons shown the Mayor, the said
Council, Police and Fire Chiefs may
jointly give written permit author
izing. when in their judgment it NAV
be deemed necessary to permit any
other parade or procession to pass
through the streets of the City Of Ely
in an orderly manner.
And provided further, that If the
