II Is reported In Lansing that Gov.
Sleeper is going 10 seek third term
and then attempt 10 get Senator
Townsend's place in Washington.
However. you know how the best OF
plans sometimes go astray. and Gov
ernor Sleeper Is very apt TO be disap-
pointed. II he goes before the people
looking for another term as chief ex-
ecutiye OF the state. He Is very GER
tain TO encounter real opposition II
he endeavors to deprive Senator
Townsend OF his seat in the senate.
There are already three avowed
candidates who desire to head the
republican, state ticket in the fall or
1920. They are Dickinson. the lieu
tenant governor. Alex Groesbeck. the
attorney general. and Edwin DENLY.
former congressman from Detroit. All
have lot OF political followers and II
Governor Sleeper enters the primary
there will certainly be fine race.
Sleeper has one OF the best political
machines that has ever been con-
structed in Michigan, but we do not
believe that majority OF the people
favor a third term; at least, we do
not believe they favor a third term for
an executive of Sleeper's calibre. who
has never accomplished anything very
startling. He has done very well, t.
be sure, but his achievements are not
of the sort that will make extra fine
campaign thunder for anyone looking
for an extra term.
Iron Ore believes that Edwin Den
by has the best chance OF any OF the
candidates. and he will make himself
known TO those who are not already
acquainted with his record. He Is
certain TO get the soldier vote. as he
dropped his work in Detroit whel
war was declared, in 1917, and enlist
ed in the marine corps as a private.
Our hat Is of TO DENLY, and we be-
lieye that he will be the choice OF the
votersyat the primary in August, 1920.

IRON couNTY's RESOURCES

We are so accustomed to hearing
nothing but iron ore and iron mines
spoken o. 'n connection with Iron
county that one might he pardoned
FOR getting an idea that we have
nothing to offer but iron ore.

lie that we have more tnan one in

Is cCmirg soon in this county. One OF
them told OF -four mill at Iron Riv-
or tha. e turning out 100 barrels OF
Hour per day. The other told OF S2.-

liant being erected over IN the vicin-
lty os Iron River that will soon be
in operation and turning into the
pockets Of Iron county farmers thous-

These things ought to wean us
away from iron ore as a steady diet.
II ought to prompt our business men

EXCITEMENT AT GAME.

There was considerable excitement
at the football game last Saturday,
and IL some cool heads had not been
present TO repress outbursts OF en-
thusiasm there would certainly have
been some disgraceful mixups. For
the good OF the game and the neigh
borliness OF the towns included in the
athletic circuit many are suggesting
that coaches and others having any
thing TO do with the management OF
the teams at play be barred from
having any position in the game. Last
Saturday young man who coaches
the Iron River team was assigned to
some position in connection with the
judgment OF distances. His being as
signed TO the work was perfectly reg
ular and there wasn't any real reason
why his performance should be OBJ
jected to. but some of the opposing
side fancied that he was biased and
lot OF i'll feeling was engendered.
II Is but natural for partisans to
find the other side taking advantage
whether they do or not and IL coaches
and other school officials are kept
away from the trusted positions dur
ing the game IT will be better for har-
mony and for the game itself.

BILE to drive 10 Escanaba In two and

that the road--all OF II from Manis-
tique 10 Escana ba---can be negotiated
In the time stated The rejoinder Of
Sec. Doelle is simply splitting hairs
to get out of a tight box.
The Diamond Drill has commented
upon these untrustworthy bulletins TO
let the Bureau see that IL is making a
mistake in subscribing to material
not its own, and not for the purpose
OF Iessening the Bureaus influence
before the public OF the peninsula
We believe that no information should
be sent out by the Bureau with the
stamp OF the Bureau upon IL unless 1t
wishes 10 accept all the responsible
" for its issuance.
Mr.. Doelle is very much mistaken
II he interprets the criticism OF The
Diamond Drill as aimed or intended
to impair the Bureaus usefulness.
We are loyal supports Of 1t, but we
are not fSing to wink at it's mis-
takes. especially when we know those
mistakes are limiting its possibilities
for good.

Wont YOU write an editorial con-
demning the effort of our football
coach to arouse spirit OF Go in and
GET some member OF the opposing
team whose elimination from the
game Is desired or against which
there is some grudge." said a lady TO
the Diamond Drill editor at the con-
ciusion OF last Saturdays game o.
football between the Iron River and
Crystal Falls schools
This estimable lady meant Just the
right thing. She deplored the arous-
Ing of the savage instinct in the minds
OF the boys and girls OF our schools.
Her interest was very commendable.

glad to lend hand to decry such an

ing 10 instill into the young minds

not at any price.
But, while we fall in heartily with
the spirit back of the lady's request
we wish 10 call attention to another
spirit that is evidenced in this mod
est request-the spirit of LET George
do IT," OF looking to the town news
paper 10 do all the dirty work.
It's surprising now many people
there are in this town who would have
an awful courage IL they were only
running the town paper, but who as
citizens OF the place haven't the cour-
age To say a word out loud on their
own initiative. Yes. our schools would
be ripped up the back. our city com
mission would be told of a lot OF
things. our county supervisors would
be lodged in jail-all kinds OF public
uplift would be attempted "if" they
were only In charge OF the paper.

ers to put their complaint IN writing

It.

THAT 10 PER CENT REDUCTION
One result of the tax hearing las
week was that the people of this as
sessing district learned why the ta'
commission reversed itself on the val
uations announced at the review; VIII,
valuations that were announced anC
accepted then were materially reduc
ed after the commission left here.
The reason given by Mr.. Linton was
that 10 per cent was cut off the tenta-
tive values announced, the reductions
being arbitrary.
Why wasn't this privilege extended
to all kinds of property? Why wasn't
the reduction made openly at the re-
view and not secretly in some star
chamber session? Why were the peo-
pie who own other kinds of property
and are interested in such action ap-
priced of the action taken? These
are questions that the public would
like to know about.
Again; an examination OF the re-
ductions made on all mining property
on the east side OF the county shows
that ten per cent reduction was
made Upon all properties excepting
the Carpenter. Why wasn't the Car
penter mine given the same reduction
that other properties were il this re-
duction was arbitrary? The Carpen
ter is the sole support OF Crystal
Falls these times. II there are any
Christmas presents passed around
Crystal Falls would like 10 see the
worthy rewarded.
Perhaps the commission, which
says IL. cannot swerye from the in
junction imposed upon ii by the con
stitution, can explain how it hawed
around some of the mining proper
ties here and "geed around others
Mr.. o'Brien. who is our member in
the state legislature, touches upon
this in the last issue of his paper In
the following
We do not approve or the tax com
mission setting a valuation on piece
OF property, one day. as 1t is alleged
II did on the east side OF the county.
and the following day. after II had
left the district, changing that yalu-
alton 10 lower figure than il first
placed on IL. This is what has caus
ed the trouble in the Crystal Falls
district, and certain mining compan.
les were the beneficiaries while the
small property owners valuations re-
mained as they were first set. II a
this apparent unfairness, whether IL
is intended or not, that Is causing so
much feeling between the moneyed
interests and the fellows who do not
receive the same favors. and the soon
er the assessor or even the tax com.
learn that fact and place the
valuation Of all property where IL be-
longs, at its cash value. and then
stick TO IL, the better II will be for the
entire people"
Mr. o'Brien might tell his friends IN
The legislature what Is being done.
That might help things.

OXFORD, o., April 24.-For several
months past Charles Shoots, colored.
nightwatchman of the village, has been
appearing on the street while on duty,
armed with two or three revolvers and
repeating rife strapped on his back.
Last night Councilman Stadler
brought the matter before council. He
said there was no sense in Shoots
making a walking arsenal of himself;
that it gave the town a bad name;
that tourists going through the village
did not know whether they were get
ting into a riot or not. Upon Mr..
Stadlers motion the village clerk was
instructed TO notify Shoots to dis
rense with the carrying of his rife.
