GETTING RESULTS

There has been a great change In
nron county Ia the last two weeks.
sOne would hardly know that IL is the
same county so different are the con
sditions existing from those OF four
weeks ago. It's all due to the right
about-face policy OF the officials I'm
regard TO law enforcement When
Sheriff Sensiba got rid OF those depu-
ties that were running with the hares
and hunting with the hounds" things
began to change Then came the
lecture of Judge Flanagan to the
prosecuting attorney and things took
a much greater slant for the better.
Before those occurrences took place
It was the rule TO see from six to a
dozen OF drunken men on the streets
each day. Now it's the exception TO see
one drunken man there Then we
heard every day OF the immense
amount of intoxicants being dispens-
ed by blind pigs; now we hear that
it's hard to get drink In fact, Iron
county is getting 10 be a real, civilized
place to reside in now and we're
proud OF It.
Some say we did wrong to parade
the condition that existed to the world
One of our clerical friends would os-
tracise us from the ranks OF the re-
generated for so doing We venture to
say. though. that the work of the two
newspapers of this county did more
TO correct the evils than this same
preacher could have done in life
time. We set out TO make the people
Of Iron county ashamed OF themselves
and to bring wildly to the attention OF

OSBORN SPEAKS OFT
VIII Seek Support OF Michigan ii
Smith Is not Real Candidate

Throughout Michigan I've found II
the almost universal opinion that
Senator Smiths presidential candi-
dacy is a joke Outside the state he is
practically unheard Of as presi-
Dental possibility"
Thus does former Governor Chase
s. Osborn sum up the presidential
situation for Michigan's senior sena-
tor He speaks plainly because of the
inclination of the senator's friends
and his paper to misconstrue his re-
cent Lansing interview and place the
ex-governor as an unqualified sup
porter OF Senator Smith for president.
IL thought made II plain when |
pointed out that Senator Smiths own
statement, published in his own paper,
read him out OF the running as a seri-
GUS candidate" continued Mr.. Osborn.
Everyone in Michigan remembers the
laugh created by Governor Ferris
when the Democratic chief executive
said: The senator's friends should
stop kidding him about the presiden-
cy And they remember how immed-
late was the response from the sena-
tor. then in New York. in which he adj
mitted he did not consider himself
presidential timber. that he was a can
didate merely TO hold the Michigan
delegation in line until the right man
was suggested.
When l said would be for Senator
Smith for president II he was a sefi-
GUS candidate it was on the premise
that he is not serious. There can be
no other construction put upon his
New York interview. I thought made
II plain that TO qualify as serious
candidate the senator should repudiatc
his New York statement. To use a
much abused slang phrase want TO
be shown that tho senator is serious:
that he is not merely rounding up
Michigan's strength to trade or trans
fer at the convention. To show me and
to show Michigan that he Is serious:
that he Is not merely framing trade
deal such az he put Michigan far down
the scale OF importance in govern
mental and political affairs of the ma
ton for years. he must come out in the
open and set at rest for all time all
doubts as to his purpose.
Michigan is a great state. It's re-
sources. It's great university, its indus

PROBLEMS OF THE MINES
BY p. b. Mcdonald, Mining Engineer

OF late years, there have been so
many new iron mines developed side
by side on the ranges of Michigan
and Minnesota, and so many differ
ent men have worked at developing
them, that the practice OF mining as
evolved at Lake Superior has be-
come in way standard. That is,
Il has and ii hasn't For, although
many matters OF general practice
are similar at the different mines, and
much OF the daily routine (of shaft
sinking, drifting, stopping, pumping,
drilling, blasting, hosting etc.,
SENS about the same az one property
as at another. there are still such
vast differences in the various prob
lens that confront the superintend-
emit mining captain, master mechan-
&c and surface boss, that these
officials are kept guessing a good part
of the time. Nowhere in the world, II
may be safely said, is ore found in
such un-get-at-able places as In the
Michigan field, and no where is there
such variety OF shapes, sizes.
structures. textures, and general diff
ferences in ore deposits as in the Lake
Superior region as a whole
The ore bodies are found beneath
swamps. and lying under quicksand.
and next to soft, crumbly slate which
caves in on the ore. and behind huge
thicknesses OF hard quartzite. and

move. and they had to be unloaded
forthwith
Now IL is becoming serious cues
ton just how much CT this sort OF
thing we should put up with without
starting retaliation that would quick
ly bring Britain to time. We can do
II. easily.
For instance, suppose we informed
Great Britain that unless matters are
so arranged that we can buy the dyes
we absolutely need, we shall forbid
the expectation OF gasoline.
Gasoline has gone to appalling
prices. and seems bent on going much
higher And gasoline is no longer a
luxury. Mr.. Ford has seen 10 that;
and besides the motor truck has be-
come commercial necessity, and
gasoline engines do multitude OF
services from running print-shops
down the line.
what makes gasoline 20 up so?
The war demand from Europe.
When we pay two prices for gaso-
line. we are doing Il because we are
letting Europe absorb so much of our
supply that the price runs away.
There is pretty good case for an
embargo on gasoline merely for self
protection. Why should we pay two
prices for gasoline or three, or four
simply because Europe chooses TO
be at war?
At least we could use this embargo
as lever TO compel Great Britain to
release her clutch of the sea far
enough to let us bury things that We
absolutely need. when our buying
them can't materially prejudice the
cause OF the Entente allies.
When the war demand is giving
gasoline its present mounting prices,
and law forbidding the expectation
of gasoline would certainly put the
price back where IL belongs, the idea
is attractive.
! And the allies need gasoline so
much that it is pretty certain that
Britain would let US buy dyes and
other commodities we need rather
than be cut off from our supply of
gasoline. Duluth Herald.

tical seams, veins, sheets, blocks.
and sometimes IL is not found at all.
Thus, though a mine superintendent
may be aided and guided by what is
going on in the other mines around
him, he mostly has TO follow his own
ore and get II out in the cheapest
manner suited TO the individual diff
culties ofthat particular ore body.
Possibly after planning out a method
OF mining his ore which promises to
give good results. II is found. as the
mine gets deeper. that the ore has
changed from hard ore TO soft
ore. or from a wide body to narrow
body. So the method OF Stopping and
development has to be entirely chang
ed.
In addition TO these larger prob
lens that puzzle and bother a super
intendent at an iron mine, there are
any number of queer miscellaneous
predicaments that accompany the
various phases of removing ore from
the ground in large quantities and
shipping It. l remember how hard
certain superintendent on the Mesabi
swore one morning in May. when, after
getting a locomotive and string OF
cars on side track TO the mines
large stockpile. and after starting the
steam shovel to loading cars. the
work was brought to stand-still by
, the discovery that, due TO the ore
having been dumped on the pile In the
winter, and being very wet, soft,
sloppy ore, 1t had frozen tight under
the loose exterior of the later dump
ings. A half dozen miners were quick
ly hoisted from the mine and told to
"bopherhole" right TO the center OF
the pile, where kegs and kegs of
black powder were then packed for
making a grand loosening of the whole
/ dump. The superintendent said he'd
show 'em how to break up a pile of
/ frozen ore." When the blast was put
off. the train was blown from the
track. the cars smashed, and great
clouds of heavy ore distributed over
the place; for the rfozen part OF the
pile was in fact only crust on the
outside, and the bulk OF the ore was
soft and unfrozen.
The superintendent had showed
EN-" bit too strong.

WHY NOT TRY AN EMBARGO ON
GASOLINE. SAY?

GASOLINE, SAY?
The war Is embarrassing this coun-
try and all neutrals in many ways,
and It seems a pretty impudent bust
ness for war thus to take the spot
light and crowd all the affairs OF
peace and suefulness off the stage.
For instance, there are the dyes our
textile industries need; we can't get
them from Germany, where we always
got them, because Britain commands
the seas and won't let us buy them
there. So dyes have not only gone up
enormously in price but have all but
disappeared from the markets.
Thus this country is being penalized
because OF the war, though not at all
TO blame. Britain, hitting at Germany
over our shoulder, is hurting us as
much as IL is Germany
Again, a little while ago American
textile manufacturers were buying in
Jamaica, a part OF the British realm,
wood from which dyes can be made
whereupon Britain put an embargo
on this jamaican wood, and now we
can't buy that any more. When the
embargo was clapped on there were

Municipal corporations in Michigan

ste. Marie insisted that the law made
no provision for the paying OF an
award by a municipal corporation
nor did II supersede the city charter
Sault Ste. Marie. like Detroit lost
Justice r. c. Ostrander wrote both
opinions.
In the Detroit case, Mary G. Wood,
a dependent OF a city employe who
was killed while working in the city
lighting department was awarded
compensation. Justice Ostrander pays
particular attention TO the assertion
Oh DtlIOll NOuuSci thdt uhNNi Nh' VII
stitutlon of 1909 Detroit may en-
Joy the so-called private corporation,
and therefore in such activities as
public lighting the city is private
corporation and not municipal one.
On this question Justice ostrander
says:
What has been called private in
municipal activity, is nevertheless
public when contrasted with purely
private enterprise and adventure.
Municipal corporations are still
state agencies and as such are sub
ject to legislative direction and con
troll. none the less so because the ex-
ercise Of such control may indirectly
affect private municipal activity.
The act In its application TO munich
palities, involves no right of local
self government, or OF local control

cludes the essential idea that the In.
dustrial worker is himself a social
asset and ought not in any case 20
bear the whole result OF personal
injury arising out Of and in the course
OF his employment; that society at
large ought 10 share the loss"
The opinion closes with this signi-
ficant statement. There IA found In
the imposition OF the law upon NUM-
cipal corporation no invasion OF pri-
vate rights. but only the enforcement
of state policy, which in view OF
municipal activities ought to be uni
formly accepted and observed by all
municipal corporations
