One or the principal sources OF
Pres. Taft's troubles came from the
Inter Tor department where the Ball
inger-Pinchot quarrel developed over
the question of the conservation of
public resources Pres. Wilson's adj
ministration has an equally important
matter concerning the public In the
subject matter covered In the Shields
bill. proposed law introduced by
Senator Shields OF Tennessee whereby
certain regulations are made for the
leasing OF water powers Senators Of
the Commings type object 10 the bill
on the ground that II is aimed to give
the public's interest i'm water powers
TO the big fellow in prejudice Of the lit
tie fellow who is not financially able
TO follow the forms laid out for the ac-
QUESTION OF power. The contest over
the bill has developed quite a struggle
the latest feature OF which is the or
ganization of what is called the Water
power Development association. This
is a publicity bureau and starts It's
career by hiring the principal publ
city man from Secretary Lanes Office,
a former newspaper correspondent.
This new lobby concern takes the
public into its confidence by admitting
frankly that II has special interest
to serve in seeking the passage Of the
Shields bill. since II is made up OF
certain named builders OF water
wheels. and electrical appliances and
supplies OF all kinds

A press report from Paris, printed
in American papers tells Of a remark
able example OF German thorough
ness. Whether the report IS true in
detail or not Il Is illustrative Of the
thorough manner IN which the Ger
mans go about this business OF war
and why they have been successful in
their drives where the allies have
failed. The article follows:
The Petit Parisien declares that the
battle before verdun was proceeded on
Feb. II by feint in the Champagne
region 10 divert the attention Of the
French from the coming attack ON the
great French fortress
A curious feature OF the attack
in the Champagne region the pa
per says, was that the method used at
verdun was practiced on 4 miniature
scale behind the German lines
For a few DAYS the Germans as
sembled their men behind the lines in
the Champagne region, exactly as il
they intended an attack there Then
miniature French defenses were put
up behind the German lines, and the
scene Of the coming attack ON Ncrdun
was gone through the Fench defense
lines being shown 10 the soldiers in
plans made from aeroplane photo
graphs and copies OF the plans OF the

HOW IRON COUNTY is MALIGNED


AT least two Delta county papers
are laying the 7O.Ooo-dollar debt OF
Iron county Up the drys who voted out
the saloons less than year ago. AS
the county lost only $4,000 in the shape
OF license money during this period
and as Il requires more than eight
times this amount to make $4,000, II
will be seen how wonderful some
editors are as statisticians. Many of
them run their newspaper business by
the same method This presentation
by the Delta county papers suggests
that their proprietors must lean de-
cidedly to the wet side, but there's no
use lying about the conditions in Iron.
That isn't going TO get the wet side
anything more than greater opposi-
ton. which Is the main thing they don't
want. II the saloons have subsidized
the press then the latter will have to
travel somewhere close TO the path OF
truth I'm presenting the wet side, other
wise they will be OF more harm than
good 60 their mission.
H. through the voting OF the county
dry, Iron has saved only one man
from a drunkard's life then the price
has been none too high. Any good
man is worth that.
The truth is what the public wants
and newspapers that will not present
Il are not going TO be popular. The
truth, even IL IL hurts, is the very best
policy. Don't charge Iron with things
OF which Il isn't guilty. Ore

THAT LIBRARY MATTER

In another column appears contri-
button from Prof. Hill relative to the
suggestions that appeared In last
weeks issue concerning the public be-
ing given access to the school library
The great trouble in this community
is that lot OF people go about COM
planning behind ones back with never
word 10 offer when they come 10
ones face. We have heard this library
question discussed and cussed; have
heard the school board and Prof Hill
handled likewise by fellows who fear
for their lives when confronted by
either Mr. Hill or the school board.
Last week we seized upon a COM
plant made to us to bring this ques-
tion again to mind. Prof. Hill comes
back and shows why the school board
has not moved in the matter He gives
as reason for not opening up the
high school the fact that the library
is not now located where IL can be adj
yantageously opened to the public. In
that statement lie is correct. II is inn
practical to open the present library
room to the public.
Mr. Hill cites reasons why the lib
rary cant be moved down stairs. His
reasons are, from his point OF view,
good ones but the public will not con-
cede that in every way their claims are
TO be obscured by school claims.
There Is just as much reason why one
OF the lower rooms should be devoted
TO public use as TO school use and II IL
got right down to brass tacks and
demand was made and reinforced by
considerable voice, room could and
would be found for library For ex-
ample the large room that is given up
10 board Of education purposes, used
once each month, could be turned to
much better advantage if thrown open
20 the public. There are ways, as we
have said, where room can be found II
the demand is sufficient for the school
board 10 make any sacrifice If Is on
~ the grumble Of few who fear to
speak aloud. than we can see no reason
why the school authorities should make
any move
What Prof IHll says about the
money available for library purposes
hi the past is. we know personally,
true in every detail The money avail
able has been too small, bur there are
Indications that We are TO have much
more money in the near future The
Diamond Drill Is very much in favor Of
"a library open 70 the public and we
have let no opening slip to advocate il
and keep the question before the public
mind We believe that This community
would be benefited thereby We would
certainly be in favor Of move to get
an independent building on the school
grounds II one can be secured and we
hope that this opening will not be-
closed before something is done to-
wards testing out the project We
know that Prof Hill will give It his
personal aid il he is given sufficient
backing TO go ahead and see what can
be done Failing to get an independ-
ont building we hope that the people
viii insist upon room being provided
IN the main buildings in the near
future

debating that he had evidence in his
hands against some OF the most prom
inent of the late liquor dealers OF the
county and some OF the men, who II is
claimed. have been furnishing the
liquor for their stool pigeons to sell.
II was intimated that the places on
the main street OF Iron River are all
caught in the net and that almost all
OF the places on the main street OF
Crystal Falls have been brought in as
well
The "Hogans Alley" report has
caused more amusement than con-
sternation for il is considered quite a
joke. The place was a shack down in
the vicinity OF the Northwestern sta
ton where the boys used to meet oc-
casionally and drink up a keg OF beer
There was no regular organization, or
club, just sort of voluntary associa-
ton. The boys used to invite this one
or that one down TO have a drink when
they CHANGED 10 get keg-and that
wasn't exceptionally frequent-and
many have gone down there just for
the novelty of the thing. The report is
that roster of names was secured
but the boys who had the thing in
hand say that there was no roster and
hence the story OF such list Is
false

II is thought that much Of the work
OF the next term Of the circuit court
will be based upon evidence secured
through the detective channels.
So far, detective testimony has not
amounted 10 much for the reason that
the character of the men SO far di-
yulged has not been Of the best and
