1t there is anyone on earth who should be
optimistic always it is an editor. No sorehead
should ever by law be allowed to sit at the ed
itorial typewriter. An editor has the largest
congregation in the world to talk to and what
he says in time will in way and sense, mould
public opinion in many things. An editor with
a gun and firebrand in his head is not needed
in this vale of tears-but, instead one who looks
at the bright side of things in general and one
who always has an uplift in what he writes An
editorial reformer who never sees any good in
the world should at once hoist the red flag
over his editorial page and be done with it.
There is whole lot of good in the world. Not
all of us are bad. The weaknesses of others
should not be exploited to the exclusion of
down. The Reds do that. Anyone but the
Reds can build up if they will. An editor who
never sees any good in the world has a worm
working in his head and should be barred from
the mails. An editor who tears down and does
not offer better substitute lines himself up
with the Red revoutionists. An always knock
er is breeder of trouble. And why exploit
the wrong side of life? Why not see it's better
side and hang it up as a good object lesson?
Why always sore spot to the front and every
thing going to hell and devils brew al! the
time? There are good people and good things
IN the world. There are meritorious acts and
enough to keep any quill busy in their exploit-
alton. Look for the silver. lining rather than
for the mudhole. Stay the hammer and reach
for boquet. No editor is so perfect that he
has any moral right to knock everything and
anything going. Nothing is right-everything
is wrong, is mighty poor slogan to adopt We
are all but human and perfection then is not
to be found in everything, but there is some
good in all of us and the nicer way would be
to find it and then write of the good only. AL
ways to be sore headed shows that something
is wrong with our heads. Take something nv
brother for that bad taste in your face

And now comes the announcement that
Congressman Clarence B. Miller is to be secre-
tary of the Republican National Committee and
we cannot help saying that this is an honor be-
slowed on the proper party. Mr.. Miller is one
of the live wires of the United States and enjoys
the respect and confidence of men worth while
in the nations history. He was one of the best
congressman this district has ever had and the
only regrettabe feature about him was his de-
feat at the last election. The district knows
this now and there is no object in dwelling on
our loss Mr.. Miller will be as much of sue
cess in the new place as he was in Congress.

Sergt. Alvin c. York, the worlds greatest
hero, has the right idea on military training
for every young man. Not for fighting pur-
poses. But that our boys may be made real
men. The army looks after the health of the
lads. If they do not go to doctor, why, the
doctor goes to them. Better men, physically, is
what the world needs today. The war brought
out this fact that hundreds of our boys were
unfit for military duty, and hence were unfit
in thousands of other lines. But, when trained
only to KILL the idea is wrong York has the
right idea. Let's have real he men and not a
lot of dudes and lounge lizards.

Sure, Mabel. Governor Burnquist should
have waited until after Christmas before send
ing the soldiers to the seat of war in Koochi-
ching County. AS the general reign of terror
had been advertised to be pulled off on Christ
mas day, the governor should have waited un-
til the town had been shot up, industries par
alyzed, dynamite planted, murders committed,
ETC., before acting. By anticipating the pro-
gram of the reds he has incurred the enmity
of all the l. w. w. and their sympathisers in
the state. However, no one was shot and the
industries of the county are still handing out
the pay checks monthly. Had we few uni
formed men here during the unpleasantness in
September which threatened to put the l. w. w.
organizers in the plutocratic class and their
dupes of miners in the poor house. things would
have been different. We notice that the papers
which are making the biggest noise about the
act of the governor have not come into direct
contact with an Al working bunch of the red
murderers. Here in Ely, we will gladly trade
our contingent of red faggers for real honest
to-goodness laborers on basis of about 100 for
one and will throw in several sympathisers for
good measure.

THE PLAYGROUND OF A NATION" /

ing season her income from tourist
travel is $7,041 500.
Through the activity of the Ten
Thousand Lakes of Minnesota Associ-
alton in exploiting Minnesota's adj
vantages, the United States forest
service is now considering plans for
the development of the recreational
advantages of the national forests in
Minnesota on an extensive scale
through newly created recreational
bureau.
Million Acres of Forest.
The Superior National forest in
northeastern Minnesota now COM
prises about 100000 acres, of which
about 10000 acres are water area.
In this region the state of Minnesota
also has about 100000 acres of for
est.
There are upward of 100000
acres of national forests in Minneso-
| ia. United States forest service fig
ures show that over 100000 per-
sons visit the national forests annual
| ly, of which l 100000 visit the forests
in this district.
Heretofore the recreational adj
vantages of the national forests have
been developed through other
branches of forestry service. In the
future the work is to be advanced
through the activity of a separate re-
creational bureau.
The forestry department is not sat-
isfied to present it's national forests
to the public as they now stand, how
ever. Extensive improvements are
bplanned for the tourists conven-
ience, such as development of scenic
trails and highways, of camp and pic
mic sites and sites for summer homes
and tourist hotels which may be
leased cheaply from the government.
Cooperation is Big Need.
The creation of an increased vol
ume of tourist business, as has been
demonstrated in Minnesota this past
summer, must be done through some
big cooperative effort.
Through increased tourist traffic,
farmers sales of produce will be in
creased; hotels will receive benefits
values in real estate will be raised,
and, in fact, every avenue of en-
deavor will reap its proportionate
share of benefit.
What is needed today is a ma
tional appreciation Of the value in
dollars and cents of our scenery and
climate and the fact that we have
sufficient attractions in America for
jail vacationists," said Mr.. Cope.

Lakes of Minnesota Association are

Since the concerted effort on the part of
Northern Minnesota was inaugurated to bring
the injustice of the tonnage tax grab to the at
tention of the people of the entire state senti-
ment has taken change in some parts of the
state. We call attention this week to the able
article by former Senator John Moonan of
Waseca in this issue. Senator Moonan is one
of the big men of the state and his opinions
have always been worth something even when
he was in favor of the tax in 1909 as can be
seen by his article. The article is particularly
gratifying to us in this iron ore section, coming
as it does from a county which has been the
most persistent of the tonnage tax advocates
The Senator is brother of James Moonan of
this city

That was a good thought and one to be
commended when the Ellis Island authorities
asked for Liberty Bonds from the Red bunch
instead of money for bail 1t was something
fact alone would almost be cause for deport-
alton. Any man with money for, bail for his
freedom and no Liberty Bonds is no friend of
this country. There should now be a daily line
of ''soviet arks" going across until the last one
of the Reds and their American sympathisers
is over there where he belongs.

LII OF Jersey may be the home of the
pesky skeet' and all that, but this week they
get nicely into the limelght in u way that will
bring fame to that little state. Their police
men shut Bergers face and gave him safe es-
cort to the citys rimsite. Berger was about
to make a speech there and jersey was fed up
enough on the Berger stuff and so the officers
said "Nay-nay, Berg" Fine for you Jersey,
fine. Let us hope that your example will be
"ketching' in other places always just ahead
of Berger.

Isn't it about time for Tommy" Frankson
the perpetual candidate with barrel, to per-
form one of his acrobatic stunts in this neck OF

pads in his quest for votes on a platform OF
mo tonnage tax for us and tonnage tax with
teeth in it" for the south end of the state.

Jawn ID. has recently given away a lot OF
his millions to various institutions that did not
need them. If he is just bound to die poor,
the best way to do it would be for him to WELD
the AK on his gasoline prices to the consumer.
This great generosity of his which occurs at
times, is usually followed up by an increase in
the price of drinks for our Henry. He is sure
making true that trite remark that-"Jones,
he pays the freight" The ultimate consumer
class have it in the neck always. 1t seems a
good class to keep out of as much as possible.

turbing the peace and were arraigned be-
fore Justice Lafountain at this place
States Attorney Tracy appeared for the
State. The respondents pleaded guilty
and were fined sg and costs, amount
ing to over $40 each. The charge was as
saulting Harold Jewett. 1t appears that
Jewett, who was road commissioner last
year. purchased some gravel of Harry
Bowen and the settlement for the same
was not satisfactory to Bowen and he
demanded the balance, some $500. Jew
EFT claimed he had been paid in full. The
respondents met Jewett on the way to
the village last Saturday and renewed
their claim and then assaulted Jewett
and followed him to the village and had
more words in a store and again on the
street. when they again assaulted Jew
EFT. Jewett defended himself and both
he and the younger Bowen We're some
what pummelled. The elder Bowen took
a hand in the melee and struck Jewett
on the back Of the head. Sheriff Stevens
was called and ended the ARRAY.
