engaged for this work as it is a
foregone fact that such a man is
needed not only during the school
term but during the vacation per-
iod as well. In the towns and
cities where recreational directors
and physical training teachers
are employed there is a more pro
perly developed physical and
moral power among the younger
people with the result that there
is more patriotism, health, and a
better fellow feeling and better
citizens. The younger generation
must have play and well directed

The Real PessImIst

A pessimist is the son of the
man who didn't believe there was
any such thing as electricity, says
the Detroit Free Press.
He is an offspring of the man
who was sure that the horseless
carriage would never come, and a
nephew of the man who was will
ing to bet that men woul dnever
fly.
A pessimist is a direct descend
ant of the man who was sure that
wireless telegraphy was a FOOLS
dream and a submarine merely
the creation of fiction writer s
brain.
The pessimist ancestry scoffed
at the telephone, the typsetting
machine, the 20-story building,
anesthetics and every forward
step the optimists have taken for
the better part of human life.
If the pessimists of the past had
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1917-04-06

been right, men would still be liv-
ing in caves and trying to get
their meals with clubs and flint
arrows. And evidently they died
without publicly confessing their
mistakes, for their pessimistic
children continue to prophcsy dis
mally that everything that is
surely going to be cannot possibly
come to pass. They seem to be
horn with the habit and cannot
get over it.
Every town mas it's offsprings
of the early day pcssimist. While
they look on certain acts OF their
fellow man as a good thing their
pessimistic opinions however are
that these good acts will not en-
dure and all crumble to pieces
later.
A few days ago we remarked to
an acquaintance that Tic social
center idea was good thing and
were very properly squelched fol
our pains by the friend who was
of the pessimistic opinion that the
sooner the thing was started the
quicker it would "bust." Certain
towns get into rut and certain
people know that certain things
cannot be before giving it 6
chance.
"What is, cannot be- is a sorry
state of mind to get into.

The news has just been made
public that Miss Lenore Vail and
Benjamin H. Hoyer had been mar
ried at Virginia on September a..
The news of the marriage has been
kept secret for seven months.
Both of the contracting parties are

Vail resided with her parents for
many years, in fact being born
here. The marriage ceremony was

Superior will again be wet after
July /. One year of the dry
regime with Duluth wet convinced
the Superior voters that there was
nothing to it. Now that Duluth
has again gone dry on top of its
dry vote of a year ago and before
it had chance to try out the
proposition, it is felt that Superior
will be the gamer. Now comes the
county option brigade and proposes
to have an election as to whether
St. Louis county goes dry or not.
With Duluth, Hibbing and CHS
holm dry, it appears very much as
if the county might be somewhat
arid in case the vote is taken.
