the peoule of Ely and one which will
well be worth preserving, that future
generations may find pleasure and
enjoyment in it, These things slip
by until too late to rectify. Today
is rather late, but better late than
never. In time every island in the
lake will have a bungalow on it.
Docks and boat houses will be built
and then will come along some one
who wants more water or less and
then the inevitable lawsuit with big
damages asked, breezes in. Today
the local boat houses stand so that
load pf hay might be driven under
some of them. More water is wanted.
The lake supplies the city with water.
A greater depth is wanted that veg
citation does not mature in the shallow
places and thus contaminate the
water. A datum line should be set
at once and the lake level established
by law. Shore line rights around the
lake will then be a known quantity.
The lake can be handled very easily
as to high or low water at the outlet
near Spalding. We are coming to
this. 1t should be done. Damage
suits will come, but these must be
met, and fairly so, now and before
land values jump to higher levels.
The Commercial Club have job here
in this matter. A datum line for
Long Lake water levels is wanted.
Now is the time to go and get it.
This lake is forever and so is Ely. Let
us fix things in time. The future
needs of Ely in this line can be fixed
today better than in the remote flu
ture. Every lake in Minnesota is
under, or has gone through the law
suit period. Let us learn from others
and beat the lawsuit out of action.
The lake is worth millions to Ely.
Let us preserve it for ourselves and
for posterity. Have datum line
established at once.

Anyone, crazy or sane, is allowed
to sit at the steering head of an auto
mobile. An engineer on the railroad
must put in six or seven years wiping
and firing the old kettle before he is
allowed to sit with the levers. The
time is coming when every driver of
a car must have license, given him or
her for their brains and skill in
handling the car. There are too
many cars now and the risk is too
great to allow every zap to step on
the accelerator. The license is not
far off. Something must be done to
reduce the death roll, else why try
to raise family?

The red anarchists have been
busy in this country and the dynamite
has been let loose in many places.
An anarchist of the dynamite in the
night time" kind has but one good
thing in him. His worthless carcass
would make good subject for a bar
becue in Hades. The cowardly ours
have not the face to come into the
light and express themselves openly.
Rule by dynamite will get them no
where but under a hemp rope and
lamp post and they know it, but they
still persist in their inhuman deeds.
How any human being could set off
an explosive which might kill in
nocent people, is beyond us to faith
ON. They have rage against every
one but themselves. And what a
pity it is that they cannot be appre-
hended before their crime is commit
ted. Seldom one hears of this, or
that they are run down after the
deed is done. Always they are just
going to be, but seldom ever are.
And when caught, they are given a
slap on the wrist and allowed to go
out on bail to contaminate the air
which some decent American citizen
wishes to use. We are too blamed
easy with this class OF murderers.
Let us give them taste of their own
beloved dynamite and "leave not a
trace" of them and do it all in the
public plaza where their ilk can have
an object lesson to profit by. We are
entirely too easy with the brutes.
Not until our own home is blown to
atoms do we sit up and take notice.
Any man talking revolution or an
archy should be withdrawn from cir
culation at once. We are too soft
hearted and we let these fends go
their length before we cock the can
non for their determination. This
good old country has no conditions
in it which needs the service of the
night time dynamiter to fix. These
whelps, with a reform worm in their
heads are all wrong. Their methods
will never accomplish what they
seemingly desire, the overthrow of
our government. It shows that they
are id fools the whole bunch of
them and dangerous to have with US
and at large. A dynamite bomb
reformation would make whale of
a country in which to live. What
better are the Reds offering us?
Nothing-merely to destroy and with
nothing better to offer in the place
of that which they wish to destroy.
Down with them. Let every expense
necessary be incurred that they may
be wiped off the map. They are a
menace to be cured, not endured
America has no room for them and
it should be the duty of every one
who has a love of home and country
in his heart to aid in ferreting them
out and guiding their footsteps to the
electric chair.

True patriotism is that which when
the home team has two out, three
men on bases and the batter-up puts
one over the fence and you suddenly
split both lngs-it's true, home pat
riotism that yell. And it is also true
patriotism when the batter fans out
and three good men die on as many
bases that your heart sinks like a
scggy biscuit in the hotel swill barrel
and you wipe your eyes on your coat
sleeve and say-"Too bad, lads"
Patriotism is not altogether and al
ways in the parade and in admiration
of the Old Flag.

Judging Others.

We cannot judge our fellow men
without in some measure judging our
selves. We are always inwardly lay
ing down laws for others, and by that
very act are forming a code for our
selves. The wrong we see in another
may be the sin of his ignorance, but
there can be no like excuse for US
who have recognized and labeled it.

If watermelons could only be in
duced to grow and flourish even AS
the dandelion does, what an exodus
of colored folks there would be to Ely
Queer how something useful has to
be babied along, while for genera
tions the war on dandelions has gone
on with no apparent results. They
are about the only yellow PERIL
that we need to worry about. A
dandelion is great great grand
father within the week.

A repeal of the daylight saving
law is looked for. There are many
who do not like its workings. How
ever, we believe it good thing and
would be sorry to have the law re-
pealed. It gives the working man a
half day of sunlight after his days
work is done. Farmers use all the
daylight there is and so no objections
should come from them. The law is
a good one, we believe, and should
endure.

Long Lake, near Ely, just now is
coming into its own. Many paddles
are being dipped into it and many a
pint of hot coffee is being enjoyed
along its shady shores. Boat house
row is once more the Mecca towards
which many feet are turning, and the
sound of laughter and song is heard
there far into the night. This will
be perpetual place of delight for

The government is disposing of its
