If this holds good in the iron section,
in order to be equal, we of the north
also have heritage in the valuable
farms in the southern counties. The
mining districts art doubly assessed
at present on high valuation while
the agricultural districts are woe
fully under valued. When $500 per
acre farm lands go on the tax rolls
at SIS per acre, and then assessed
at 33 1-3 of that, is it any wonder
public improvements in those dist
riots are hard to secure? If you
of the agricultural districts will prop
erly value your property, you can
also build yourselves school house,
community buildings, public baths,
get your hair cut and otherwise act
as human beings should.

The happenings at Duluth on
Tuesday when three negroes were
made the victims of lynch law, is to
be regretted by all lovers of law and
order. The crime for which the men
were lynched was one Of the most
fiendish ever perpetrated in this
county, and We have had some bad
ones. Those who gathered to mete
out justice did so without the added
impetus of skin full of booze. The
concensus of opinion throughout the
county is that, while the thing was
wrong in principle, it was most effec-
tive and those who were put out of
their criminal existence by the mob,
will not assault any more young girls.
The mob was not as blood-thirsty as
may be imagined from reading the
accounts in the papers. Had they
been such and had the race hatred
spoken of predominated, the other
three held in Jail would have met a
like fate. A special grand Jury has
been called to look into the matter
and it is expected that indictments
will be brought against those con-
cerned in the lynching. How they
are going to weed them out is past
comprehension. There were from
five to ten thousand people in the
party. The police of Duluth had
been instructed by their head not to
use guns and this order is probably
accountable for the fact that only
three are dead. As we said before,
the lynching is to be deplored.
There were fathers, brothers, hus-
bands and sons concerned in the
affair. Surprising it was your
daughter or sister, wife or mother?
What would you do?

however made the statement that the

the best of any on the trip. They

to show them in this playground of

to do so. Ely enjoyed their visit

a longer stay.

The most grossly underpaid valu-
able servants of the people of the
United States are the postal clerks
and the letter carriers. Now comes
the. joint congressional commission
with a sop for faithful service in the
shape of raise in salary amounting
to almost an insult. The pay of
these officials has not been raised in
years and during the Burleson regime
of the past years, there was no
chance to even get respectful hear
ing let alone increased compensation
for services rendered. Fifteen
months ago the employees took the
matter up with the commission and
promise was secured to look into
the subject. Now after faithfully
continuing at work and relying on
the justice that should follow an in
vestigation of the pittance paid,
comes the commission with a high
sounding blare of trumpets announc-
ing that salaries had been increased
amounting to $33,000,000 a year.
"some money" When the figures
are analysed it means the grand
total of about 20 cents per day
per employee. Such a raise? Al
most pound of sugar or pork chop
day. And this is expected to lure
a man with a family into the postal
service? There probably will be no
strike but the service will be shot to
pieces and that's cinch. The resig-
nations will increase over the whole
sale list of last year. While the
horde of war clerks and commissions
are still doing nothing and drawing
down fat salaries at Washington the
postal employees are supposed to
act as Uncle Sans pack horses and
Loyalty keep on the job.

a NE summer morning over two
centuries ago the grass plot be-

was occupied by many Of the inhabi-

three months old. On the breast of

on the outskirts of the crowd attracted
Hester's attention, and he in his turn

to recognize him, he laid his finger on
his lips.
Then, speaking to a townsman he
said, II pray you, good sir who is this
woman, and wherefore is she set up to
public shame?"

stranger. "It irks me, nevertheless,
