HEAVY SELLING,
MARKET HOLDS
Weakness Develops at the
Opening But Is Overcome
In Whole List.
By BROADAN WALL.

New York. Sept. 2O.-The stock
market opened steady today. with
a few issues showing net gains. AL
most immediately. however, a SELL
ing movement began. This carried
the general list down a point and
more. In a few issues there were
sharp breaks. The decline was due
TO President wilson's statement re-
flectinS on the good faith of e. H.
Gary, head Of the steel corporation.
After about an hour II was reported
that President Wilson was doing
everything in his power to avert a
steel strike. This brought about a
rally that continued UP to the close.
The market ended steady without
material net changes in either di-
rection.
Tobacco stocks were the con-
spicuous feature Of strength
throughout the session. United Re
tail Stores and American Tobacco

The gift thus received we thought
would pay for a jolly good tine
the next Monday. Therefore at 5
p. m. we all arrived at Sandy Point,
dear old Ely's pride. Then, after a
cool plunge from the diving board, to
an excellent supper which was served
on bright new tables, right under the
trees, we went and enjoyed with per-
feet ease; But the painter stood by
and nary word let pass till Skirt"
and "trouser" stuck to the benches
fast! Then another cool plunge in
the waters deep; and plans for a
launch ride, we did keep. When
safely started the launch frolicked
about till we were drenched and
tossed and just had to shout! Then
once more for the shore we did make,
and again attack that DEVILS food
cake! Soon, ride down town to a
place you all know-'twas Johns of
course, where all of you go! Next
ice cream and sodas-and music did
play; and later, for home, we laughed
all the way. In the brief manner
told we spent our pay, do you doubt
that it was an excellent-a perfect
day?

A plumb idiot can, if he has the
price, buy car and run it. We are
sure easy here in America. Every
driver of car should be bonded or
else be required to secure license
from a local not a state board, who
know whether he or she is crazy or
just a common DID fool. Anyone
with the price can put mitt on the
steering gear. 1t matters not if he
is out on bail for riot and murder or
not, if he has a car he can burn a
hole in the air and those who care to
go through next winter must take to
the woods for safety. Every daily
paper coming contains accounts of
overturned cars. Flowers and slow
music. And we get into the old car,
step on 'er tail and split the wind as
that was alright, alright. We have
adopted the slogan for a "safe and a
sane Fourth" why not at least begin
on safe and a sane public highway?
We are coming to something and that
soon. We are not at war now and
human life ought to become trifle
of value at least. The new, hard
surfaced roads that are to be built
will make the cemeteries smile unless
we begin now to shorten up the speed
proclivities of some we know of.

The Duluth & Iron Range officials
in line with their policy of Safety
First" have caused to be painted on
the depot platform here a band of
red paint some eight inches wide and
within two feet of the edge of the
platform nearest the rails and in the
center of this red band are the words
Safety First" printed in pure white
and a dozen times in the length of
the platform. One standing within
this safety zone will not be injured
by passing trains. People in crowd
have a tendency to stand too close
to the rails and are liable to be struck
by any train or engine passing. This
Safety First idea is a good one and
the idea is growing. In the years
gone by railroad man went to his
work with his life in one hand and
his dinner pail in the other and did
not know in the morning whether he
would bring them both back with him
at night or not. Today, happily and
we'll, the idea of safety first is being
carried out to the last notch and hui
man life is being safe-guarded on the
railroad and in the mines as never
before. And the. slogan has been
picked up and is spreading to every
danger point wherever. 1t is splen-
did idea and thousands of lives are
being saved by it.

A true sportsman is true gentle
MANN fact that's the definition of
a gentleman. We all love a sports
man. He is real he man. A child
or fellowman loves him. The COM

Speaking of the lard-Dempsey fight
of last week. Willard only fought
for the money there was in it, not for
the love of the manly art. He lost
out and if there is any sympathy for
him we have failed yet to hear it. He
is in the class of the fisherman who
fishes all day and then comes in at
night and sells his catch for quarter.
Such fisherman disgraces the Grand
Order of Anglers. Merely a COM
mercial grubber. Money earned that
way by true sportsman would gag
him and he would be ashamed to look
a cigar store Indian in the eye. Will
lard may come and beat us up for this
opinion of ours, only we know we are
safe in saying it because there would
not be dollar in it for him. Willard
has gone the way of all flesh ad youth
has been served. He has been the
most unpopular Of all the champions
and the change to Dempsey will be
welcomed.

Appropos of sheep. John Owens
says that at Two Harbors they are
now using them for lawn mowers.
And there are thousands of acres
now idle around Ely that these lawn
mowers will soon be making fireproof.

the coming of the sheep. Minnesota
is now waking up to our possibilities
lying all around us. The deer and
the moose must go further back and

The war toll in houses. The ten
worst destructive CONGREGATIONS OF
earth-the great fire of London in
1866, the Chicago fire of 1872, and
others-swept away or ruined build
ings to the number of about $1,000.
To these must be added the loss in
San Francisco in 1906 which might
bring the loss up to 100000 build
ings, stys the New York Sun. Yet
in Northern France $4,000 buildings
of various kinds-religious, munich
pal stores, shops, factories and homes
have been demolished or practical
ly ruined by the Huns. Some OF
these were destroyed by military OPP
trations, but more of them were
wantonly ruined in order to make
waste of the industrial region of
France. In Belgium the destruction
was relatively as great and the
needlessness of much of it in both
lands is apparent from the fact that
buildings in German hands were loot
ed while they were still intact, their
contents being shipped to Germany,
and were thereafter demolished by
the Huns in their occupancy of the
territory or just as they were being
driven out. No building in Germany
proper has been destroyed save for
the few that were bombed from the
air in reprisal for the Zeppelin raids.
All German structures are standing
unframed. All homes are habit
able; all it's plants are in operation
or ready for work. This fact should
be thoroughly understood, throwing
light as it does on the financial con-
ditions imposed on Germany which
its delegates violently denounce.

for it. The little folks are happy
with the movie people and are sor-
rowful with them as the film reels
along. They follow the sentiment Of
the film as if it all were true. It is
all sure enough to them-the stage
hold-up, the leap over the cliff in an
auto or the hero tied to the rails and
they shiver or shout whichever as the
film rolls on to new wonders. The
movies are here to stay and just what
influence they are having on our
younger generation is hard to say.
We believe that however bad they
may be they are much better than the
nickel dreadful, the dime novel or
the questionable books. Many films
passed by the censor should be re-
censored, we think. However, they
are called for by the general public,
else millions of dollars would not be
spent in their making.

Ely is enjoying the reputation that
it generally gets what it goes after.
That is happy qualification. When
the Ely Commercial Club decides that
it wants something, it dons the war
paint and goes after it and gets it.
Time and money count for naught
until the object sought is captured,
then it is on, the pursuit, for some
thing else. No cow backs up to the
mixer with his pail. One must get
a club and corner her. Our Boys
have this club under their chairs
with their hat and are off when the
psychological moment arrives for sue

A. E. Hatcher an attorney from
jacobson, Mimi, who has been in the
limelight since 1914 as an agitator
and who is now preaching "red-fag-
ism" to the people wherever he can
get an audience, attempted to pull
off a soap-box stunt in Gilbert on the
Fourth of July. The returned sol
diers and sailors firmly insisted that
he make himself scarce and Hatcher
did so. This is the same fellow who
tried to pull off a speaking stunt here
in 1914 and was dissuaded by the
blowing Of the fire alarm.

A few of the "Reds" were on the

while DR.. Preston Bradley was talk

must have burned as they listened to

from the shoulder out at these low
down vermin and the applause that
followed his beautiful abuse of them
showed that they were in handsome
minority.

Repentant Patsy.

Minnie and her little dog, Patsy,
were playing in the kitchen. Minnie's
mamma was cooking supper and
stumbled over Patsy, causing her to
drop an egg on the freshly scrubbed
floor. She put Patsy out on the porch
and seated Minnie in a corner. In
few moments Patsy scratched on the
door and began barking. Minnie said
to her mother: Mamma, can Patsy
come in now? He's sorry. Don't you
hear him 'pologizing?"
