their energies. not only in the

well. Last Friday was spent in the
Iron River district among the schools
there.
The farmers OF the county have
been fortunate in the weather condi-
lions this fall and have been able to
get most OF their blowing done. This
is certainly a fine thing and we will
see the effects of 1t next spring when
they can have more time TO put in
their crops at an early date. Time
has also been found this fall for much
stone picking and land clearing Ia

deal in this county The neater and
cleaner we can keep our farms, the
greater the value It will have and the
better our rural community will ap-
pear.

IRON MT. WANTS CLAIMING.

The last issue of the Crystal Falls
Diamond Drill contains a story to the
effect that the headquarters of the st.
Paul railroad are to be removed from
Claiming to that place. The reason as
signed for the removal is the lack OF
water at Claiming. A few years ago
The Press garnered a nice bunch OF
trouble when II printed report to the
effect that the headquarters were go
ing TO be removed from Charming TO
Iron Mountain. And Iron Mountain
Is much better located for headquar-
ters than Crystal Falls The st. Paul
company owns a large bunch OF land
here. And we have more and better
water than the Iron county capital
several beautiful lakes and river of
considerable size We opine. however.
that the headquarters OF the st. Paul
road will remain at Charming for an
indefinite period.-Iron Min. Press.

which this nation industrially and SO
cially will be brought back TO a pre-
war basis.
The northern section of the county
represents the great, big portion of the
wealth, the industry and the tax pay
ing property of the nation. The dem
ocratic party is managed at Washing
ton by a coalition OF southern demo
Gratis who, because of the custom In
the southern states of keeping con-
gressmen in Washington, have reached
position where they hold the chair
manship OF every important committee
OF congress. They are naturally inter
ested more in legislation that will &C
crue to the industrial welfare OF their
own section before any other. There
Is no possibility OF the northern dem
ocrats--due 10 the caucus system
which prevails In the democratic party
getting positions where they can,
through their own party, force an adj
justment OF affairs. The only way to
upset this condition is to choose a re-
publican congress which will give the
major taxpaying and producing sec

THE PRESIDENTS APPEAL.

- al
In a personal appeal to my Fellow
'Countrymen" President Wilson asket
that the American people vote 70
democrats for congressional positions
next Tuesday so that he may be abl'
TO carry TO a successful issue thu
policies that he has in mind. The
president says that the election OF {
republican congress will be a repu.
diation OF him before the world.
Coming as IL does at a time OF great
national and international tension
when the minds OF the people are up
on the successful termination OF the
war and the securing OF an honorable
peace, n time when craftsmanship is
farthest from the public mind, the
appeal Of the president grated upon
the nerves of the people. 1t pulled
him down in public estimation from
position OF great honor and inilu-
ence-a position in which the Ameri-
can people OF all parties and OF all
opinions delight to view their chief
TO that OF common ward politician
begging for votes that he and his
henchmen may be continued at the
trough. 1t was at once a slight TO the
intelligence OF the American elector7
ate and TO the dignity OF the highest
Office OF the land. 1t brought sorrow
to many an American heart for, ire
epective OF party and OF political lean
ings. It is sorrowful spectacle to see
our chief executive begging votes like
the ward heller on the corner.
The presidents appeal was made
for the sole purpose OF defeating re-
publican candidates for office in every
district In the land irrespective OF
how loyal those candidates may be or
how active they may have been in
upholding the hand OF the president
and making IL possible for him to ac-
complish the things that have been
accomplished. Had the republican
party not been loyalty behind the
president In this war the position OF
America would be anything but the
honorable one that it is today for Il
is an undisputable fact that II was
the republican congressman who
backed up the president in all of the
big legislation incident TO the war
backed him up when he was deserted
by his own party.
The upholding OF the president
hand doesn't depend upon any party
at this juncture. The American peo
pie are speaking too strongly at ey
cry point and upon every issue; $,
strongly in fact that no man who ex
poets to stay In public life dare run
counter to its demands.
II Is not the successful prosecution
OF the war and It's conclusion that tn,
president had in mind when he mad
that appeal for he knows that repub
s''"hp "At AhAAth III utltIlilldilOl
20 wage the war TO a successful end
II was rather, the license which
democratic administration seeks 1
fasten upon the nation partisan ad
vantage that sc is seeking under tn
camouflage OF Reputation before tn
world" rlg
The undlgnihed action merits re
buke which It is quite certain Will b
handed out at the polls next Tuesday
To Woodrow Wilson, president OF IN
United States we accord all the HON
age that Is due from us as citizens q
this nation to its executive, but {
Woodrow Wilson the partisan poltI
clan we owe neither homage or allegI
ance. We have only sorrow TO ex
press over the manifest lack OF pol
fical dignity in our president.

while his shoulders were thrown back
like second lieutenant's. When he
went TO get his mail at noon he could
not remember either his postoffice box
number or its location. He left his
books at one OF the stores and for sew

TOO MUCH LEISURE
He Wanted Job Where He Could
Have Steady Work,

The hours of work in vogue on
western grain ranches are not such as
would satisfy the average city bust
ness man. In fact they sometimes
prove a little strenuous even for
hardened farm hands.
Early during the last harvesting
season a certain rancher was looking
for hands, but only wanted men who
desired steady employment and
would remain with him throughout
the season.
One afternoon a young man. with
blankets en- his back, stopped at the
ranch and struck for a job. He said
he wished a steady place and was
hired. He went to bed, and at 8
O'Clock tho next morning the foreman
called him to go to work.
The new hand labored all through
the day, stopping bare half hour for
lunck at noon. AT o'clock the crew
mad supper, and then, as the foreman
wished to get TIN ougn with the field
on which they Were working the men
returned to their duties and iabored
until midnight. -hcy then retired.
At o'clock tie following morning
the foreman again called the young
man. He arose and ate breakfast. h
then went to the farmer and demand
ed his money.

job" said the farmer.
