Another c. & N. W. Ore Dock.

four large ore docks at Ashland in
stead of three, is ali announcement
coming from a source considered
authoritive. The fourth dock, it

TO SETTLE BOUNDARY DISPUTE?
Michigan Candidate for Attorney Gen
eral VIII Have Boundary Dispute
Settled, IF Elected, He Says.

The Ironwood News Record last
week had the following article CON
cerning the much -mooted Gogebic-
Iron counties boundary dispute:
A vote for Groesbeck will mean
a vote for Gogebic county at the
impending general election. Why?
MIR. Groesbeck has given J. S.
Kennedy, president of the Iron
wood Commercial Club, and Rep
resentative Slgurd G. Nelson, who
is the republican candidate for re-
election, and other interested par
ties in Ironwood, assurances that
one of his first official acts, if elect
ed to the attorney generalship, will
will be to start suit i'll the United
States supreme court for decision
relative to the much -mooted bound
airy question between Gogebic coun-
ty, Michigan, and Iron county,
Wisconsin. The past two sessions
OF the state law making bodies have
passed resolutions order the state
to take the necessary legal steps to
learn the exact boundary between
the states of Michigan and Wiscon-
sin here, but nothing has yet been
done to start the action.
The question of the northwestern
boundary is not merely of interest
to lronwood people, but it is inn
pOrtant to the state at large to
know the exact limits of its do
main. Previous to the adoption of
the present constitution i'll 1908,
the northwest boundary of the state
was through the middle of the
main channel of the Montreal river
to the head waters thereof. In
1908 the constitutional convention
defined the northwest boundary of
the state to be through the mid
die of the main channel of the
westerly branch of the Montreal
river to Island Lake, the head
waters thereof. On these points
of difference will undoubtedly hang
the final decision of the high court
in regard TO this matter.
That the state of Wisconsin will
make determined fight to disprove
the claims of the Michigan author
tiles is undeniable, but among in
terested parties here the question
of the acquisition of valuable min
ing properties as we'll as the city of
Hurley and its environs, is only
secondary consideration in their ef-
forts to obtain an accurate de6ni-
ton of the limits of the state in
this vicinity.

EXCELLENT TEACHERS INSTITUTE
Annual Gathering of Iron County
Teachers Well Attended and
aMost Successful Affair.

The teachers institute for Iron
county held last Friday and Satur-
day at the high school building was
most successful from point of at
tendance and from the interest
created and the benefits derived
There are seventy eight teachers
IN the county, everyone of whom
attended the institute, giving per-
feet percentage of attendance. The
speakers and conductors gave the
best OF satisfaction and brought
forth many words of praise for their
efficient work.
/ Prof. w. H Cheever, instructor
in the Milwaukee Normal, was es-
peCially well received, and in addi-
ton to his lectures before the
teachers Friday forenoon and after
noon delivered an excellent address
at the exercises in the evening,
which were largely attended by the
public in general. His subject,
Changes Needed in Modern Edu-
cation, contained much of inter
est, delivered III a most captivating
manner and the only regrets heard
were that his address was too brief
The evening program also included
selections by the high school or
chestra and the high school glee
club and vocal solos by Mrs. +. b.
Goodman.
Prof. O. w. Neal, instructor i'll
the rural department at the Stev-
ems Point Normal, gave two lee
lures on picture study at the Fri
day and Saturday forenoon sessions
which were particularly interesting.
He had with him collection of
copies of the works of we'll known
artists and was thus able to illus
tTate his lectures III a most telling
manner. He also appeared on the
Friday forenoon program with a
lecture OH methods in arithmetic.
Supt. J. +. Murphy gave a lee
ture on a subject i'll which all teach
ers are particularly interested,
Importance of Proper Assign
ments of Lessons, and Miss Jean
Kirwan, critic of the intermediate
department III the Superior Nor
NAL, conducted model classes which
are always provocative of much
benefit.
AT the close of the Friday after
noon session the conductors and
teachers hiked to Ironwood and
visited the Norre mine, the many
things seen there being especially
interesting to the city folks.
The institute came to a close
Saturday noon and upon invitation
of Supt. Goodman of The Montreal
Mining Co. the teachers and con
ductors were taken in automobiles
on an inspection of the Ottawa and
Montreal mines, after which the
party was entertained at Mr.. and
Mrs. Goodman 5 residence at Mon
treal. 1t was most fitting climax
to the institute and was greatly en-
joyed by all those present. Pro
fessors Cheever and Neal departed
for their homes Saturday evening
but before leaving let ii be known
that their visit here was most pleas
ant and spoke of the institute as
being one of the best ever.

In convention at Nashville last week the Democrats of
Tennessee repudated the contestng delegation from Shelby
county, after the state committee and the credentials
mtee had voted against them and seated the regular DEM
ocratic delegates headed by former Mayor H. Crump
The convention refused to hear P J. Mooney editor
of the CommerciaAppea speak favor of the contestants
He hooted and eered from every section of the
ton hall until forced to take his seat.
Doubtless the convention recognizing in Mr. Mooney a
good speaker and knowing him only the editor OF the
CommerciaAppeal would have heard him upon other
subject but when he for crowd of poit
cal outs exjob holders gamblers and crooks he
not allowed to speak.
The delegation carried to Nashville by the Mooney-Fitz
hugh Harrison crowd disgrace not only to Shelby
county, but the state. With the exception of few of
the leaders, there was respectable the delega
tion

Senatorial primary and given sentence of II months

been indicted for bootegging.
The convention determined that the regular deega

matter.
1t is we'll that the regular Crump delegation from

VACATION

The bow that's always bent will quickly
break;
But if unstrung twill serve you at
your need.
So let the mind some relaxation take
To come back to its task with fresher
heed.
-Phaeorus.
School is out. The boys and
girls are again at liberty for a
few months. After spending
the autumn, winter and spring
in study hall and recitation room,
students may now go fishing,
joyriding, or just loaf.
Nine hundred and nine-nine
students out of every thousand
are glad that vacation is here at
last. The boy who does not
look forward to vacation with
anticipation, counting the days
intervening, has very little red
blood in his veins. There is
something radically wrong with
such a boy-if there be any such.
The same is true, although prob
ably not of quite so large a per
cent, of girls.
However, vacation is always
a problem. What are the boys
and girls, just out of school,
going to do during vacation?
After nine or ten months of
school work they should not be
required to spend their vacation
laboring either with head or
hands, and loafing is not good
for anybody, especially young
people.
This vacation problem con-
fronts US year after year, has
been handed down from genera
ton to generation, but has never
been solved.
To the boys and girls just out
of school and to the parents of
these boys and girls we suggest
that vacation be spent in read
ing some good books, with plenty
of physical exercise, much time
in the open air and with a fish
ing trip and camping expedition
thrown in, occasionally. If this
program should be carried out,
the boys and girls will be ready
to Renter school this fall and
will be able to accomplish some
thing when they do so.

PULL FOR A PARK

Two weeks ago The Partisan
pointed out the need for park
in Paris, and elsewhere in this
issue we carry a news story in
regard thereto. Since we first
declared for a park numbers of
local citizens, business and pro-
fessional men, and taken occasion
to endorse the plan, thus show
ing their interest in the matter.
Every progressive citizen of
Paris should be behind the park
movement. Paris needs nothing
worse than a park. with seats
and electric lights. Any plan
that will give Paris a park is a
good plan.
Those who are interested in
the welfare of Paris, especially
those interested in the welfare
of the young people, should boost
the park movement. Boosting
and cooperation will get a park.
Get into action.

WHERE


Where, o where has the young man gone
Who graduation clothes put on
Some time about the last of May,
And owned the world for single day?
And where is the sweet girl graduate,
Who chanted an essay so dread with
fate,
And started out with giggling frown
To turn the old world upside down?
And where is the scribe with the vault
ing will,
Who tried "a long-felt-want" to fill,
And courted shekels and renown
With Minion paper in a Burgeoise
town?
And where is last years candidate
Who had things fixed for this years
slate,
And carried around, as you'd believe,
A couple of counties in his sleeve?
The lad has divided the world up fair.
And has but his own eight-bilionth
share,
While the sweet girl grad is grand
surprise,
And conquers the world with we'll
made pies;
And the journalist with the naughty
crest
Has gone the way of last year nest.
While the candidate with the deathless
gall
Is fixing himself for another fall.
So year by year and day by day.
The world goes round in the old, old
way,
And the balloon that's the largest round
about
Is the fiabbiest rag when the gas
goes out.

Senator Culpeper Discusses
National Prohibition
(Bp Lepis B. Ely, in The ST. Louis
Post Dispatch)

Says the lhlfd senator from
Missouri:
1--WE in Congress are being
bombarded with petitions from
every congressional district in
the United States demanding
that we down the effort to amend
the constitution and make prohi-
bition national.
Il would not even make pro-
hibition local-much less nation
al. I would not either amend
the constitution of the United
States or amend the constitution
of the American workingman by
cutting off his beer.
Il am opposed to prohibition
of any kind on principle, as a
free man in a free country where
we ought to have a political
right to enjoy our natural rights
so long as we don't abuse them
or hurt other people. | agree
with Jefferson that if we are
made in some degree for others,
yet in a greater degree are we
made for ourselves. 1t were
contrary to feeling, and, indeed,
ridiculous to suppose that a man
has less rights in himself than
one of his neighbors, or, indeed,
all of them put together. This
would be slavery
Last summer my no.account
and dissipated hired man, Pevely
Sadders, make a remark that
illustrates the narrowness of the
sumptuary reformers, although
Pevely leans the other way.
Jim Fullalove rode by on his bald
faced pacing sorrel, bound for
home, with a side of meat strung
on one side of his saddle and on
the other a package of shoes,
some ticking, ribbons and a band
box.
" Them Fullaloves amt got
no sense exclaimed Pevely,
Look at Jim Fullalove goin'
home with a side O. meat and a
lot of gew-gaws for the women
folks! | tell you them Fullaloves
is wasteful fools-everything
they get they put in their stom-
achs or on their backs, and I'll
bet right now Jim Fullalove amt
got one quart of whiskey in his
house or houn' dog on his
place!'
Z" 'Pevely Sadders,' said |,
you exhibit the narrowness of
the bigot and the meanness of
the busybody. The next thing
you know you will be wanting to
reform Jim Fullalove and intro
ducing a bill in the Legislature
to make him keep whiskey and
hounds whether he likes them or
not. You must allow a man to
differ with you and your mode of
living without branding him a
fool or indicting him as a felon,
said |, or the country will be
about as free and comfortable to
live in as the county jail"
Nevertheless, Pevely Sad
ders' remarks set me to wonder
ing how the sumptuary reform
ers would like it if the other fell
lows turned the tables on them
and gave them a dose of their
own medicine"
