might have been expected TO make him
conservative, he took the leadership
in somewhat radical legislation.
He was successful in getting what
he wanted from a hostile Legislature.
Whenever he fOS~S difficulties thrown

WHAT OTHERS SAY

Recently We got into an argu-
ment with Free-Trader. He is
q large employer of labor, de-
ponds upon foreign countries for
much of his raw material, and
often visits foreign shores. AL
though a man of large means he
is almost driven to evaporation
when compelled to pay small
Tariff on articles he picks up on
European trips and brings home.
He never can realize that these
things are made by people getting
per week what our skilled work
ing men get per day, or two days
at the most. Looking at it in a
selfish sense, this man has a right
to be a Free-Trader, but how
about our American laboring man
or artisan Of any kind who under
Free-Trade is driven into full
competition with the working
men of Southern EuropeY A man
who works for wages has no
more right to be a Free-Trader
than he has to advocate the i'm
portation Of toilers from across
the sea to compete with him in
America. About IS per cent.
will vigorously object to this
while 30 to 40 per cent. of the
working men will be hoodwinked
into voting for Free Trade. With
Northern working men voting

structive policy, our emigration

The move to make a good high
way from Wadena through
Brainerd and Aitkin to Duluth,
is one worthy Of enthusiastic en-
couragement. Duluth and the
range towns offer many attrac-
tons to the automobile tourists,
and there is no decent road lead
ing to the Zenith City. The peo-
pie who live along the way from
Duluth to the Twin Cities lack
energy and foresight, if the con-
dition of that highway is to be
accepted as evidence. 1t takes
the people of the northern section
of the state to do things, and now
that a start has been made, there
will soon be splendid highway
from Brainerd to Duluth, and
which will be popular with tour
lists. And while they are about
it, they might make a good road
from Aitkin to Grand Rapids,
which would afford a most inter-
esting swing around the range
loop.-St. Cloud Journal-Press.

ninth Drowning
John Debelok Loses Life In lonu
Lake Sunday.

The ninth drowning in this
vicinity in the past ten weeks took
place Sunday in Long Lake when a
canoe in which were John Debelok,
Frank Merhar and John Prijatelj
was capsized in Long Lake. The
men were returning early Sunday
morning from a fishing trip to
BURNSIDE. In crossing Long Lake
the canoe was capsized short dis
lance from the McCurdy island.
Merhar and Prijatelj chung to the
overturned canoe and drifted
ashore while Debelok sunk at once.
The drowned man was rs years
of age and had roomed at the Chas.
Gorse home all the time since
coming to the country several years
ago. He was unmarried with
relatives in the old country.
Several crews dragged the lake in
the vicinity of the drowning from
Sunday to Tuesday when the body
was brought to the surface at about
10 O'Clock.
The funeral was held Thursday
afternoon from the Catholic church
Rev. Father Buh officiating. He
was member of the Sacred Heart
society under whose auspices the
funeral was held.

The Albert Lea school board
has passed a resolution requiring
that all girls in the 7th and 9Th
grades and high school wear reg
ulation costume. This must be
either cotton or wooden material,
blue in color, made in sailor suit
or MILDLY. blouse style. The sleeves
must cover the elbows and the
neck be reasonably high" All
silk and velvet materials, elabo-
rate waists, etc., will be eliml-
mated from school functions. This
will not affect the girls alone, for
the boys will be required to dis
continue the wearing of sweaters
and jerseys in the school room.
We believe this is is good move
on the part of the Albert Lea
school board. Our Anoka high
school girls for the past few years
have been bitterly criticised be-
cause Of the silk waists, party
dresses and other elaborate dres-
ses they have sometimes worn IN

Once upon a time there was a
man who was too busy to eat. In
the morning he swallowed cup
of coffee and smeared half a soft
boiled egg on his moustache. AT
noon he allowed himself Is min
utes for luncheon, and as it takes
the average waiter longer than
that to walk to the kitchen and
back, the Is minutes was about
all the nourishment he got. He
usually got home late for dinner
in the evening, because he hated
to tear himself away from his
place of business so long as there
was the slightest possibility of
making another nickel before he
closed down his desk, and when
he did sit down to the table he
devoured the stock market re-
ports in the evening paper, in
stead of digging into the fodder.
He couldn't see any sense in vast
ing his time on food while there
was so much money in the world
that did not belong to him. At

THE Duluth & Iron Range took
another wallop at Vermilion Range
points when they refused to run
the special train Sunday to the
St. Louis County Fair at Hibbing.
The company makes the claim that
the specials heretofore run. have
not paid. The impression prevail
ed that the train would run up to
the last minute Saturday afternoon
when the same was called off. In
consequence the Ely, Tower and
Soudan bands were forced to
cancel their trip to the bandmen' S
convention. The hardest slap of
the whole lot heretofore admins
tered to this city was the map
issued in connection with the
folder being circulated by the
passenger department and which
cuts off just a township west of
the city with the notation this
road to Ety.. Considering that
Ely furnishes more business for
the D. & I. R. than all the
balance of the stations on the line
put together, it is the general
impression that we deserve just a
little better treatment.

"You remember Noah had to

building a boat away out on dry

whiting up his pine boards with
their jack-knives, and telling him
what a fool he was for expecting
a big rain in a country that was
too dry to grow alfalfa. But he
kept at it. Finally the food came

''Winton Tied Up" said the Sat-
urday's issue of the Miners News
printed at Hibbing and copies OF
which were promiscously circulated
both here and at Winton. The
truth of the matter is that Winton
mills are running full force and the
mine at Section 80 will be running
full force within short time. The
management of the mills at Winton
have decided to close down for the
winter should the Finnish Social
lists, aided by Pancener and Jacob
son two 1. w. w. agitators, sue
coed in getting a walkout started.
Several deputies are at Winton to
keep order and the crowds seem to
be orderly. Those who are in a
position to know state that out of
the $50 members of the Winton
red-faggers, there are only two
American citizens. Another very
remarkable thing of the Verruilion
range disturbances is the fact that
the leaders of the miners and mill
yard workers are BARRIERS, tailors
and shoemakers. Several from
Winton were here Sunday and
talked strike to their friends but as
men here are getting whole lot
more than what the strike on the
Mesaba is for, no particular atten-
ton was paid to them. Notwith-
standing the remoteness of walk
out here, the local presidents"
and secretaries" are being watch
ed in order to know where to place
the blame if there should be dis
turbance of the conditions with
which the majority seem satisfied.
The strangest part of the whole
affair is that the laborers themselves
are doing the watching and it will
be somewhat of surprise to the
agitator when he shows up here.
One thing is certain, if the agitator
gets no money from the worker,
there will be no agitator.

Curiosity is a great thing. The
screaming woman in the patrol
wagon called everything out last
Monday. We all had to see the
sight. A woman with "snakes in
her boots" beats a circus parade
to each Of us and we just had to
shut up the store and have look.
Curiosity is a great stunt. Let a
red rooster be run over by car
and the street is blocked for
blocks to get a sight Of the mus
sed feathers. People break their
|necks to be on the spot when an
accident happens. The Jail lobby
is packed jam full when a drunk
is locked up. Everybody busts
a tug to get the chance of looking
at him through the Jail door. We
may all know him intimately,
but let the police pinch him and
he at once becomes an object to
unload our curiosity on. Crowds
stand around person who has
been injured. They fight for a
sight Of him. The doctor work
dng over him hasn't room to
move. Business is suspended
when anything happens. We are
a curious people and past finding
out. 1t is the same elsewhere as
in Tower. We hold no patent on
the curiosity question here. 1t
is the same all over the world.
