PEACE!

Ended is the g>.alless quest.
The victors and the vanquished rest.
The victims sleep; their crosses stud
The Russian snow and Flanders mud.
Sound by sound, the noises die.
Low hang the clouds Ger earth and
sky.
A shudder passes through the pines.
A screech owl from the ivy whines.
Debts to ashes. Dreams to dust.
The curtain falls. The cannon rust.
Der Eden and DER Babylon,
The soft white sands creep on and on.

THE LOST LEADER.

The following poem written by
Robert Browning has q special
application to our own time when
SO many supposed leaders Of the
people in high and low positions
are DESERVING as the issue between
the people and plutocracy becomes
clear and the fight finish fight.
Just for q handful of silver he left us;
Just for a riband to stick in his coat
Found the one gift OF which fortune
bereft us.
Lost all the others she let's US devote.
they, with the gold to give, doled him
out silver,
So much was theirs who SO little al.
low'd.
How all our copper had gone for his
servicel
Rags-were they purple his heart had
been proudl
He alone breaks from the van and the
freemen;
He alone sinks to the rear and the
We shall march prospering-not
IuIouSA LIB p1oboACoS
Songs may inspirit us-not from his
Tyre;
Deeds will be done-while he boasts
his quiescence.
Still bidding crouch whom the rest
bade aspire.
Blot out his name, then-record one
lost soul more,
One task more declined, one more foot
path untrod.
One more triumph for devils, and sor-
row for angels,
One wrong more to man, one more in
suit to God!
Life's night begins; let him never
come back to us!
There would be doubt, hesitation and
pain,
Forced praise on our part-the glim-
mer Of twilight,
Never glad confident morning again!

LOVE OF LIBERTY.

o for lodge in some vast wilderness
Some boundless contiguity of shade,
Where rumor of oppression and deceit,
Of unsuccessful and successful war,
Might never reach me more. My ear is
panied,
Ny soul is sick, with every days re.
port
Of wrong and outrage with which
earth is filled.
There is no flesh in mans obdurate
heart,
It does not feel for man, tho natural
bond
OF brotherhood is severed as the flax
That falls asunder at the touch Of fire
He finds his fellow guilty of a skin
Not colored like his own; and having
power
To enforce the wrong, for such q
worthy cause
Dooms and devotes him as his law
full prey.
Lands intersected by a narrow firth
Abhor each other. Mountains inter.
posed
Make enemies of nations, who had else
Like kindred drops been mingled into
one.
Thus man devotes his brother, and de-
stroys;
And, worse than all, and most to be
deplored,
AS human natures broadcast, foulest
blot,
Chains him, and tasks him, and exaets
his sweat
With stripes, that Mercy, with bleed
ing heart,
Weeps when she sees inflicted on q
beast.
Then what is mani And what man
seeing this,
And having human feelings, does moi
blush and hang
His head to think himself mani
I would not have slave till my
ground,
To carry me, to fan me while I sleep
And tremble when I wake, for all the
wealth
That sinews bought and sold have eve'
earned.
No: dear as freedom is, and in my
hearts
lust estimation priced above all price
I had much rather be myself the slave
And wear the bonds, than fasten then
on him.

SANITARY SEWERS BOTHER
RESIDENTS OF WOODLAND
Hearing That City Commissioners Will Rebuild the Wood
land System, Engineer John Wilson Writes Letter
Delyine Into Ancient Sewer History

in the same manner as the Woodla,s
sewer.
"The sewer system at Morgan p.,.
is designed according to the ,am.
principle, which I understand was =
accordance with the advice and rss
concentrations Of Morris Knowles. en-
sulting engineer and sanitary exn.,.
of Pittsburgh. Pa. The sewers :;
Morgan Park, although designed on =
less liberal basis than those at Wood
and, are giving no trouble whateye,
because they are being utilized for TIM
purpose for which they were con.
structed, while those at Woodland az.
performing another service entirely.
"The city Of Milwaukee secured 81
act of the legislature to enable them
to improve and extend the sewer sy,
tenn Of that city and already has spen,
millions eliminating all rain wats,
from the sanitary sewer; and, instead
Of finding the separate system impras.
teal, all future construction is planned
in strict accordance with it.
"Because of the expense incident
to the construction of an outlet I.
Duluth Heights and the fact that any,
thing but sanitary sewer would mean
no sewer at all, this system also is Of
he separate type. For the same rea
son, and also because the sewage must
he pumped and repumped, the Park
Point sewer is designed for sanitary
sewage only.
"When the question Of sewers for
Gary and New Duluth came up, plans
were prepared and estimated for botk
types. One was to admit all roof wa
ter and the other provided for sanitary
sewage only. At a public hearing on
the matter, the latter was decided
upon and the outlet SO constructed.
"My information is to the effect
that, without single exception, roof
water is being discharged into all of
these sewers and without a word
of protest on the part of any Of the
city officials.
"Your attorney states that the city
is confronted with many damage cases
because of sewers being too small II
the city is not held liable for loss sus
tanned by individuals under such con.
ditions, it certainly should be. All Of
these sewers were constructed and the
people benefited had full knowledge
Of the character and extent of the
service they were to receive. If the
city deliberately permits these strus
lures to be utilized for other purposes
than those for which they were con.
structed, regardless Of the rights Of
individuals, it should certainly be
made to contribute to the relief Of
those thus wronged.
"With a view Of lettering these
conditions, protecting the individual
against loss and damage, and saving
he city much unnecessary expense, |
would suggest that your honorable
body make q thorough investigation
Of all these districts and then con.
scientiously exercise the authority
that has been intrusted to you.
81 might add that I shall be pleased
to furnish you with any data or iB'
formation at my disposal"

A TALK ON TAXES.

A short time ago the Duluth Herald
printed a report under the impressive
heading, "Nonpartisan Bill q Heavy
One; North Dakota Taxpayers Face q
Levy Of Five Mnlion.'
North Dakota is a state having an
area Of 70,1ss square miles. This
means that it Is more than twice rs
large as tho state Of Maine, moro than
eight times as largo a. New Hamp-
shire, Vermont, Massachusetts, or
Maryland, ten times - largo a. New
Jersey, eighteen times a. large AZ Con-
necticut, seventy seven times Is large
as Rhode Island, half a. large again
as New York or Pennsylvania. With
ono exception, in fact, there Is no state
east Of the mississippi that has %
large an area % North Dakota.
The so-called FHckertau state had .
population Of nearly 100000 ten ysars
ago. There has been heavy growth
since then. The Herald publishes this
scare head about North Dakota, yst
used all its influence to saddle, through
one special election, . debt Of $780,
600 on ST. Louis county alone, said
county having 165.000 Inhabitants ten
years ago and, possibly something like
100000 today. st. Louis county, too,
has an area Of less than one-twelfth
that Of North Dakota. The dear old
Herald's lessons in high finance as to
how tho people arc to get the worth
Of this $7,500.00o for nothing are

WOULD GET EVIDENCE
FOR ST.LOUIS COUNTY
Fire Sufferers Association Has
Proposition Before the
County Board.

The county commissioners have
proposition from the Northern Mime
sofa Fire Sufferers association to fur
nish evidence for the county in the
prosecution of any suits for damages
to highways, culverts and bridges in
the forest fires of last October. II
responsibility for those fires can be
established satisfactorily, then the
county can collect damages. 1t is es'
timated that this damage to the roads,
culverts and bridges may run IN to
100000. Something over $4,000 al
ready has been expended in repairs.
The proposition Of the association
was to collect the evidence for a COR
sideration Of $1,000.
Commissioners Becks, Swanstron
and Naughton were appointed as
committee to consider the matter. Mr..
Adams and road engineer Acton were
named as ex officio members Of the
committee.
The committee was shown that the
Northern Minnesota Fire Sufferers
association is making careful surveys
by skilled experts for the purpose Of
determining origins and establishing
responsibility for fires. In many cases,
these investigators can carry on IN.
vestigations for the association end
the county at the Same time. Aside
from all that, they will be able to pre-
sent their testimony in q definite, pos
tive and convincing manner.
The three commissioners are repre-
sented as seeing much merit in the
proposition and to favor its accept
ance. Attempts to gather evidence
through members Of the road engi'
neering department have not been sat-
isfactory and the time may soon come
when dependable and expert evidences
will be necessary and imperative.
Mr.. Adams, thus far, has been
against the proposition, if the Rip-saa
is rightly informed. He admits thas
the county has the right to appropriate
the money for that purpose, but he ~
vors Fabian policy. Personally, no
advises waiting on the doings o.
Messrs. Arnold & Arnold, having grea'
confidence in them as investigator"
He even said that he favored waiting
for the trial of some Of the fire da"'
ages cases in the courts.
The officers Of the association, y
not the commissioners, point out wna'
they consider the very unsatisfactory
and inconclusive showing OF facts J"

Wa wish all Superior readers TO fully
understand that mayor Baxter mas
nothiug to say % to what the Rip-saw
urints. He has no business interest In
tho great family journal; no has no
dssirs to try to dictate its policies; tho
Riu-saw would not tolerate Interior
ence from mayor Baxter OF anyone

II any Superior citizen wishes to
reason with tho head sawyer over any
matter Of mutual importance, the
proper procedure will be to come d.
rectly to headquarters and not take up
mayor Baxter's valuable time by pes
seriug him. He Is a most busy man
and with enough duties Of his own
without assuming those of the Rip-saw
editor.
Our consistent championship OF
mayor Baxter may have caused a few
thoughtless or suspicious people to as
sumo that he had strings on the Rip
saw. Such is not the case. We sup
ported mayor Baxter when he stood for
the nayoralty because mutual friends
gave Us evidence that he would make
. better mayor than Mr.. Konkel. We
had never met Mr.. Baxter and did not
meet him personally until he had been
IN office nearly q month.
Since then, we have supported
mayor Baxter and opposed the under
world crooks because the mayor has
given evidence that he is making 100
per cent Of an effort to keep his oath
Of office and to enforce the laws. We
sbhor lawlessness and underworld out
laws. We viii adhere to that policy
80 long as immortality and lawlessness
are dominant In Superior, or even
prominent, and SO long Is mayor Bax-
ter does his very best to enforce the
laws and keep Superior decent.

Her light is on the hill;
And soon the large hand OF the sun
Shall work his fiery will
