H|BB|NC IS A GREAT
MUNICIPAL PARADISE
CONTINUED from page ~

Public officers were, to a great
degree, employees Of the mining
companies, therefore subject to
their dictation.
The masses arose in revolt.
They were led by Victor l..
Power, an aggressive young law
yer. He never had split rails
or tramped the towpath in COM
pant with a canal boat, but he
had work ed his way up from a
blacksmith in the mines. He
knew the conditions and dared to
fight the cause of the people. An
injunction was secured against
excessive and careless use of
dynamite in the mines that
fringed the town.
When the Big Interests found
themselves tied tightly in the
tolls Of the law, they declared
that they would let the grass
grow in the streets Of Hibbing.
eco ahead: We will have men
there to cut the grass, - was the
reply Of the advocate Of the peo-
pie.
The mines were shut down. In
1919 Victor T.. Power was
elected president Of the village
with trustees that agreed with
his plans and policies. Since then,
several bitter fights in the courts
and the legislature have been
fought and won by the people
and, under Mr.. Powers continu
GUS administration, all the splen-
did improvements and conven-
fences have been provided. Hib-
bling, is like a town that has been
established for generations and
progressively. managed. The peo-
pie are proud of what they have
done in four or five years and
will stand for no retrogression.
It even is believed that the
big mining companies are Sc
cretely proud and pleased, now
that modern ideas and policies
have been properly demonstrated
to them. There are many reports
and evidences of the olive branch
being held out, especially by the
U. S. Steel Corporation.
The lion and the lamb may yet
lie down in peace and safety for
the lamb.
Regardless of party, Hibbing
people stand almost unanimously
behind the idea Of making Victor
L. Power the next governor OF
, Minnesota. Some do not take
the matter real seriously for
they cannot understand how a
lawyer with a practice OF $25,-
600 or $4,000 a year can take
on the work, worry and expense
of the office of governor OF the
state of Minnesota. Appreciation
of official honors, a desire to
serve the masses and mere love
of a hot fight do not appeal to
this small minority in Hibbing.
Then there are some who oppose
Mr.. Power because of nationality
and religious creed but, locally,
they are in the minority.
Mr.. Power has original and
progressive ideas. One idea that
will appeal to the state as a
whole is that the mining COM
panies are not paying taxes to-
day on their capital, so to speak,
but on only a portion of their
profits.
Mr.. Power has, in the main,
been affiliated with the republi-
can party. His friends expect
general support from organized

labor, the farmers, the people in
the rural towns and the many
non-partisan voters in Minnesota.
In addition to all the independ-
ent voters, his. friends fully ex-
pect that he will secure the
straight republican nomination if
he decides to enter the race
for it.
This movement to make Victor
L. Power governor of Minnesota
certainly makes the eyes of all
politicians center on Hibbing.
1t causes doubt and uncertainty
in breasts that have been very
confident and self-satisfied.
1t may prove to be a ground
swell that will completely over
turn everything political in the
whole state of Minnesota.
[ met Mr.. Power a few min
utes at his office but had no ex-
cuse and very little opportunity
to sound him seriously as to his
political plans. In the first place,
he is very busy man. He main
tains a large suite of offices and
has half a dozen assistants-a
private secretary, associate law
yers, stenographers, accountants
and an interview is not always
quickly and easily secured.
When [ sought the little
giants" presense, he had just
returned from professional trip.
The halls were filled with clients
awaiting his convenience. A
steady stream. Of people passed
up and down the stairs, promin-
ent mining officials, among
others. It reminded ME of the
palmy days of Bryan in Lincoln
and Towne in Duluth.
Another reason why | did not
press my presence aggressively
on Mr.. Power, was because an old
friend informed me that Mr..
Power was suspicious Of me. He
had fears that [ stood in with
the political sooth-sayers up in
the Wolvin building.
Down in Duluth, some of those
same sooth-sayers express the
opinion that Mr.. Power may be
back of the Rip-saw. Mutual
distrust and suspicion haunt the
camps Of Victor L. Power and
the Political Department of the
U. S. Seel Corporation in Min
nesota.
Mr.. Power hardly can be
blamed for being suspicious of
strangers. His friends inform me
that he fairly is haunted by spies
and detectives. His every move
ment, at home, or abroad, is
watched by some one in some
way.
With so much distrust and sus-
picion abroad in the land, it is
difficult to make men like Mr..
Power or the Political experts of
the U. S. Steel Corporation really
believe that no one but the pub
Usher and the people of st. Louis
county are back Of the Rip-saw
and it's mission to clean out any
dirty corners in the courthouse.
One of the funniest jokes of
the season occurred up here a
few days ago. Col. John Nagle,
former managing editor Of the
News Tribune and a man whose
brain fairly is haunted with vi
siOns OF l. w. w. riots on the
ranges, approached Mr.. Power
some days ago with proposition
to become his private secretary.
Col. Nagle confidently expressed
the opinion that he could greatly
advance the political fortunes Of
the Hibbing man. Remembering
how Charles P. Craig Jared under
the political wet nursing of the
cowboy from the bowery, Mr..
Power is said to have declined
the proposition with thanks.
Whether Col. Nagle really con-

If BACK HURTS
BEGIN ON SALTS
FLUSH YOUR KIDNEYS occA-
SIoNALLY If YOU EAT
MEAT REGULARLY

No man or woman who eats meat
regularly can make a mistake by
flushing the kidneys occasionally, says
a well known authority. Meat forms
uric acid which clogs the kidney pores
SO they sluggishly filter or strain only
part Of the waste and poisons from the
blood then you get sick Nearly all
rheumatism, headaches, liver trouble,
nervousness, constipation, dizziness,
sleeplessness, bladder disorders come
from sluggish kidneys.
The moment you feel dull ache in
the kidneys or your back hurts, or if
the urine is coludy, offensive, full of
sediment, irregularly Of passage or at
tended by sensation of scalding, get
about four ounces of Jad Salts from
any reliable pharmacy and take a ia
blespoonful in a glass OF water before
breakfast for a few days and your
kidneys will then act fine This ia
nous salts is made from the acid of
grape and lemon juice, combined with
lithia and has been used for genera
tions to flush clogged Kidneys and
stimulate them to activity, also to
neutralize theacids in urine so it no
longer causes irritation, thus ending
bladder disorders
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot
injure, make delightful effervescent
Whitewater drink which all regular
meat eaters should take now and then
to keep the kidneys clean and the
blood pure, thereby avoiding serious
kidney complications.

A description of this ship, the name

quite interesting in the following des,

The ship was designed primarily for
that purpose The great Vaterland,
outwardly a floating palace. when
stripped of her ornaments, is the
worlds greatest troop transport.
AS if the submarine were foreseen,
The Vaterland is equipped to with
stand submarine attack better than
any ship afloat. Gun platforms for
a whole flock Of rapid fires were cum
ningly built into her. Her speed en-
ables her to run away. Through a
system of water tight compartments
she is practically unsuitable. If
struck squarely by two or three tor
pedoes she would remain afloat.
AS Uncle Sans engineers have pro-
ceeded to remodel the Vaterland since
the American flag was hoisted over
her, they have been running into sur
prise after surprise. They have al
ready found their work done for the
most part.f
The suitability of the Vaterland for
transport purposes have heightened

An Editorial That May or May Not
Square With The Forums
Opinions.

The Commercial West: When a
famous American philosopher said
that no one can harm you but your
SELF he uttered a truth that cur
rent history is teaching us every day.
A mans credit standing in a COM
munity or with his banker is not
made or marred by what others say
or do. but by his own acts. He can
either build up and maintain uTl-
questioned credit, or he can neglect
his obligations and finally destroy
his credit standing.
All the loss of men and destruc-
ton of property that Germany has
suffered up to date is nothing COM
pared with her willful and deliberate
acts that have demolished her own
honor or standing among nations.
The loss of man power can some
day be restored and property can be
rebuilt, but to restore her honorable
standing to it's former basis will be
q long, tedious and painful process.
AS The Wall Street Journal points
out Germany needs much these
days in food, clothing and commodi-
ties of all kinds. She needs much
more to restore her financial credit,
but what she needs much more than
all else Is d HnOTdl TeSeuSIdIloI' oIlo
needs the establishment of the
worlds standard of national honor,
and to remember that righteousness
exalteth a nation, and without that
all roads lead to perdition."
The naval commander with his
famous dispatch acknowledging mill
tary defeat, saying, "all is lost save
honor" brought out the real value of
one of the great realities Of life. To
fight valiantly, yet observe the rules
of the game is one thing; to make
war like a beast of the jungle is
quite another. The most pitiful
tragedy in this war is the sacrifice of
Germanys honorable standing
among nations.

ENDS MISUNDERSTANDING.

Presient Wilson has done a valu-
able service in clearing away what
misunderstanding existed in regard
70 the exemption provision for those
who have dependent relatives.
There has been no change in the
war department ruling, but the
Presidents letter will prevent diff
ferent interpretations being placed
upon it.
In some parts of the country men
have been exempted because they
were the heads Of families, even
though their wives had independent
incomes. or even though some other
relatives offered to assume the sup
port of the families. In other cases
men whose wives were actually de-
pendent on them for support. were
refused exemption.
Il Is not the intention of the gov
ernment to force a wife to go to
work to support herself and her
children because her husband is
needed for the army. The President
makes 1t clear that dependency is the
basis for exemption. not the fact
that one 10 head Of a family.

NOT "DREss SUIT WAR;.

This is not a dress suit war;.
Clarence Darrow impressed that
fact upon an audience at the Audi
torium in Fargo Saturday evening.
The strangest feature of it all, is
that the very men who should be the
most enthusiastic supporters of the
war. are the ones who are doing
everything to hamper the prosecution
of 1t. They are the Socialists and
the radical labor agitators in Am
erica.N
Germany, the most reactionary
country in the world, the very center
of autocratic power, seems to be
their ideal of government. What
possible progress along social lines
can be hoped for from a German VIC
tory? How can it be possible to bet
ter living conditions in America, un-
til those We have now are made Sc
cure?
Union labor has seen with a clear
er vision. The union man has fought
many a battle to establish the rights
he now possesses. There can be no
security for those rights until Ger
many's dreams Of conquest are
crushed.
The man in the overalls has as
much to lose in comparison to what
he has, as the man in the dress suit
He may think he is entitled to a
dress suit too, but this is no time to
debate that question. If both the
overalls and the dress suit are to be
saved, the all important task is to
lick Germany as quickly and as
thoroughly as possible.
