IRON RIVERS REPLY.

a passionate article printed in The
Diamond Drill last week criticises
severely the action OF the Iron Rive,
football management in postponing r
scheduled game with the east sid,
SQUAD for November Sth. Their in
appreciation OF the action IS case o

afraid TO defend its title would EN-
pioy any such tactics. Iron Rive,
sportsmanship is called to account and
wherever Iron River has been a con-
testant" the spirit OF tho game wa
not OF the best, Is charged. The case
OF Nora 10 cited to substantiate am
corroborate their statements and
them seems TO be irrevocable proo
that they are right and everyone els
wrong. or at least at fault.
Although just cause is found n
criticizing the postponement OF IN

urely unwarranted. The Crystal Fall,

team who has won games from botter
teams than the one which represents

sporting dope. A case OF cold feet
was developed In order to meet team
with a respondent record. Crystal
Falls may have a good aggregation.
That has been demonstrated In the
games they hive played with range
crews. But their comparative strength
with other teams in the upper penin-
sula has. not been tested, "a has Iron
Rivers, and IL was but natural that
Iron River ask for postponement In

fusal OF Crystal Falls officials to post

OF sportsmanship. which We question
as much IA they do Iron Rivers.
The game scheduled for November
Sth could do no more than divide hon
ors between the two teams. IN case
Crystal Falls won. which Is conceding
a great deal when we review the rec
ord OF the Iron River team. The C. r.

him that there are two halves 10 a

THAT FOOT RAIL- Fuss

In another column appears the re-
ply OF the Iron River school author
tiles 10 the criticisms made upon the
sportsmanship OF the Iron River ath-
letic association by the Crystal Falls
coaches the week previous through
the columns OF The Diamond Drill.
II doesn't seem to US that the best
interests OF tho schools of either Iron
River or Crystal Falls are served by
this scrap between coaches. The
school authorities OF the range should
either 10y down stringent rules or a
boiish inter-school athletics alto
gether. without entering into the con-
sroversy in any way, We say that the
one thing that should be taught our
boys-and girls. too--in these athletic
contests Is sportsmanship. It's much
more difficult 20 be a good looser than
a good winner. Tactics that tend TO
the "win-at-any- price" method don't
make for game loosers.
We doubt that the people OF either
Iron River or Crystal Falls are as
much worked up over this foot ball
contest as our foot ball authorities
would have US believe. We admire the
ability OF these young men in training
our boys to be dexterous in the game;
we admire them more when they free
~ acknowledge the worth OF the other
fellow.
Iron River certainly violated the
arst rule OF this brand OF sportsman
ship when they cancelled tho game;
Crystal Falls doesn't shine any bright
er by ascribing other sins OF omission
and commission to the Iron River boys.
We hope. for the friendship OF the
two schools. that the incident Is closed
and that both sides will gracefully
acknowledge that better brand of
sportsmanship might have been shown
in this instance and that they will evil
dencc Il In the future.

THE IRON HUNTER


Many OF our readers are more or
less familiar with the book which
Hon. Chase s. Osborn wrote and has
had published under the above cap
ton. The book is a story of the life
OF Gov. Osborn. especially that part
OF his life which Is linked with the
development OF the Menominee iron
range, Sault Ste Marie and the iron
ranges OF lower Canada II IS espec-
tally interesting 20 Crystal Falls peo-
pie az part of the book deals with
early times in this locality which was
raversed by MIR. Osborn weekly while
he was the editor and proprietor OF
the Florence Mining News. The OPP
sning chapter deals with Florence
when the town was notorious for its
wide open condition OF vice and
hooze.
The book has received very favor
able mention all over the nation, one
OF the latest comments being in the
Review OF Reviews and reading as
follows.
when the Hon. Chase $. Osborn
was chief executive of the State of
Michigan II was remarked more than
once that he was not as other govern
ors are; THE Iron Hunter" Is not
the kind OF autobiography that the
conventional governor would write.
II is too truthful and too human. De-
fore nc was elected governor Mr.. os-
born had been n newspaper man and
iron-ore prospector in what were then
the newly discovered mining regions
OF Wisconsin and Northern Michigan.
We do not recall ever having met
with so vivid a description OF the life
OF those days on the Iron ranges as
Mr.. Osborn gives in his book. A man
who knew that life and was q part OF
IL. as Mr. Osborn was, could not by
any possibility have commonplace
career in after years"

We are told that there Is much con-
Germ In Michigan over the coming pri-
mary contest In the republican party
because OF the possibility OF Ed. Den
by and Alex Groesbcck splitting the
vote so that Loren d. Dickinson may
be the nominee. IL Is claimed that
many republicans will bolt che tic
ket IL that occurs. We are OF the
opinion that this great concern" Is
pretty much OF bogy man held M
(, by those who have other boomlets In
reserve waiting to spring. They hope
/ that the republicans will become pam
&c stricken at the awful prospect and
will sIde-track DENLY and Groesbeck
for a fourth man. We can't see e.
When that war record which Ed. Den
by has. gets pretty well distributed

erns Of sonneteerlng metropolis,
commend us to dozen such first
editions as the effective thing.
Book collectors are from the COM
mon run of men, and they do not all
dotheir work according TO happy and
well directed design. Thus, 1t Is not
always the result that an age IS so
reconstructed or favorite group OF
old writer's brought nearer to hand.
But even where the design Is not so
well calculated or achieved, the pas
sion Is no less real and devoted. For
some, degree Of antiquity is in itself
a charm, difficult perhaps Of logical
explanation, but potent in the ex-
treme. "Oh, great gain writes ARE

a rare copy of Qulntlian. "oh, unex-

the soul OF the collector, speaking his
own language TO one who sympa-
thlzes. IT Is not thing to be under
stood 1t is something to accept CRATE
fully for the sake of the enthusiasm
that Is in It.
Yet 1t is not always that collectors
serve merely this selfish end. In
Vulnerable instances are Of record
where valuable works have been
saved for the world through patient
searches and jealous ingatherlng OF
bookmen. What we know of TAcIrUs

scripts Of AaoBARr were barely saved

point Of converting them into covers
for his books. A more approximate
Instance yet Is the story of Sir
ROBERT CoTToS, who came upon his
tailor, shears In hand, ready to cut
up an original Magma Charta with
all Its seals and signatures.
For those to whom the collector
appears an idler, wasting his time and
energies, there is no material for con-
version in all this. And indeed your
devoted collector would not offer it
in defence. The one Philobibion has
been written. As for the rest, the
bookmen will content themselves with
the answer that X collecting IS not

Keeping Business Alive to Keep

CHARLES II. MOVER, president OF the
International Union of Mine, Mill and
Smelter Workers. repudiates the men
who quit work in Butte because Of
the reduction of wages in accordance
with the unions contracts with the
mines providing for n scale based
upon the price of copper. Explaining
that the strikers are members not OF

sense situation which confronts all
labor, all industry, all business of this
