Never, until the last mouth in the world stops
crying for food and clothing will prices come
dollar. If America were to stop the shipments
of food and clothing to the stricken countries,
then would matters soon adjust themselves
here. But this will never happen of course
until the demand over there falls off. 1t is no
doubt right for us to divide our plenty with
them until such time as they are able to go it
alone. But, so long as dollar is to be made
by these shipments across they are going to go
and America be damned. Dollars and not SEN
timent rule the world. And even you and l
want to handle our dollars with steam shovel
instead of a tin express cart. We are all alike
We each are striving to get into the capitalistic
class and yet roasting capital because we are
not riding with them. An overproduction of
everything is all that will ever cheaper the ne
cessities of life. Shorter hours and more pay
will never help us out of our predicament

A bystander at the skating rink at the Com
munity Center and also at the Municipal rink
can easily draw an inference that the money
cost of the places and their maintenance is
money well expended not only for the pleas
ure that they afford the young folks, but in the
matter of health measure. When a young
ster fails to enthuse over pair of skates-see
a DR.. right away for there is something the mat
ter. And after an hour on the ice notice the
glow of healh in their faces; and there is no
need to call Pater and Matters attention to the
appetites grown on that ice field. No matter
what the cost, the ice rink is worth the money
But, there should be more older, middle-aged
faces with the youngsters. The matter of good
health does not apply to the young people only
There are too many of us who are cooped up in
hot rooms too long at time. Our lungs need
the fresh air of the rink. No wonder consump-
ton is rampant in Minnesota when such con-
ditions prevail. Dig up the old skates, Dad,
and slide with the youngsters. You are not so
dignified as you might imagine you are. Put
on the runners and keep your muscles flexible
and not allow them to ossify. Keep young.

There are now some seven thousand Amer
lean Legion posts in the country. Minnesota
alone has 364 and is the third in the list. New
York has TIT. The local, Frank Lozar post,
No. 248, has a membership of about one humid
red and is growing almost daily. The Amer
lean Legion is going, to be force to sit up and
take notice of. 1t is our Grand Army of the
than that old organization as more men were
engaged in this war than in 61-5. 1t will also
be of greater use because of different con-
ditions and also greater in numbers 1t can and
no doubt will in time shape the policies of the
country. Let US hope that the boys will select
wise leaders and that harmony will always
prevail among them.

AS this matter means our existence,
as many as possible should make an
effort to be present. At the meeting
plans will be adopted for the syste-
matte downing of the tax grab and
the education of the voters of the
state to the dire results that will fol-

the attendant losses to the people of
the state and range communities in
particular.
A. j. Thomas is the committeeman
named for this city on the general

STARTED SOMETHING.

The weatherman evidently wished
to get off with both feet at once at
the beginning of the year and yes
terday started the ball rolling with
26 below zero weather. This morn
ing he had increased the dose by ten
degrees and sc below was about the
prevailing degree. However it must
not be taken for granted that we are
handed something. The cold weather
extends to several parts of the U. S.
even Texas having experienced un-
precedented cold weather the past
few weeks.

Governor Burnquist may be criticised for send

turn over and go to sleep for such criticisms
only come from one source, and these are all
against public sentiment, law, order and de-

not need to exploit it at night or with any dy-
Mantle either.

General Wood says that "There are three
fundamental principles upon which this govern

law and order, another is property rights, and
the third is the right to work, whether one is a

adopt and tour the country with when he starts
out on his campaign for the Presidency.

1t is coming, that society of Cali Americans y
Congress is drifting along towards it. There
will be members of it in every community lin
time The alien agtator must go. A place of
retirement is going to be found also for every
American who is knocking" his country. Rad
icalism is beginning to see it's finish. This good
old country has been too tree a., and easy for its
lowed in the past. We could talk anything
and get away with it. And many of us did.
Happily, however, with many of us it was only
talk. We cussed the country from to lizard,
but when the call came to defend it, we grab
bed the old gun and hunted for Hun. Many
of us did that. 1t is those who did not go but
stayed at home with knife in either boot that
must soon look for other places in which to use
their lip 1t is coming, thank heavens. The
first boatload have gone and soon others will
follow. Let us hope that ere long Ely will have
members in this All American society and a
few of undesirable reds here be deported
as they should. We have talked about long
enough now let us do business.

And now that we are looking at spring again,
Ely as city should begin to take up the mat
ter of daylight saving and perpetuate the old
plan here. Other cities are talking of doing
it. 1t would work out nicely here. Our farm
ing community would be negligible quantity
as compared to the great advantage the city
would get from it. Perhaps the time might be
shortened for its beginning and closing in the
spring and fall but it should be adopted 1t
adds almost half day more each day in which
the working man can enjoy his garden or his
canoe and fishpole. And that is something to
gain. Let us look into the matter and see what
can be done about it.

CANDIDATES TAKING NOTICE
u. P. L. JONES in Duluth Herald

Looking back over the year which
is now rapidly passing into history
from political standpoint there is
one dominating feature, and that is
the veto by Governor Burnquist of
the so-called tonnage tax bill passed
at the special legislative session.
That veto has had more than any
other one thing to do in shaping the
1920 campaign issues, and it is very
likely that all candidates for COVER
nor and for the legislature as well
will be compelled to define their
stand without equivocation. 1t is
very certain that those candidates
who pledge themselves to recommend
and work for supertax on iron ore
cannot hope for any support in the
northern part of the state, and it is
equally true that in Southern and
West Central Minnesota those who
do not favor this tax will have but
little strengths
Lieutenant Governor Thomas A.
who has filed for the Re-
publican nomination for governor ex-
poets to make the tonnage tax his
chief issue and now is said to be pre-
pairing statement on this and other
subjects for the benefit of the people
OF this great state. It is understood

way when they are tried out.

Field Day for Candidates.

The Lincoln club Of st. Paul, a
Republican organization, is going to
have field day on February IL,
Lincoln's birthday, for candidates
for governor. Representative Leav-
lit Corning has proposed that all can
didates be invited 20 attend the an
nual banquet and to speak on this
subject: "Why Should Be Elected

Uses real vaudeville show, yet there
would have to be some way of limit

would take up all evening in relating
his qualifications. Will H. Hays,
chairman of the Republican national
committee, has been asked to speak
at the banquet.

these misguided votes from counting us out. 1t

Duluth is asking itself why all this iron ore
must go past their doors to be fabricated and
then shipped back to them with two long hauls
to be paid for. Why not make it in Duluth
with this crude ore sent down from Ely and the
other mining town of the Ranges? This year
will see many millions spent in Duluth in fac
tories and many tons of our ore are to be fab
ricated there The outlook for ST. Louis county
is certainly great-greater than for some of
the states. We believe that in time, Duluth,
our county seat, will rank with any of the cities
of the country in size and general manufacture
ing interests. From Duluth to Underwater is
coming No one who reads doubts that now.
Duluth and our county certainly have a very
bright future in store for them.

that Tom intends to trace the history
of the tonnage tax from the ancient
Babylonian times to the present with
such a fervor and such a wealth of
imagery in his diction that those who
read it will be carried away in their
enthusiasm for Toms craftsmanship.
Other candidates for the Republi-
can nominations have not commit

this issue. Efforts to make julius

time comes to answer this question.
The Iron Ranges Campaign.
The organization on the iron range
of an anti-tonnage tax league has at
tracted considerable notice in other
sections of the state, and it is felt by
many that perhaps the tonnage tax
issue may be clarified when this
league gets into action. Those OPP
posed to a supertax on iron ore are
unanimously of the opinion that a
campaign of education will do much
good in some sections, but that in

Ten years of prohibition, says an exchange,
will pay the bulk of the war debt. Why wait
ten years? Use the money now being spent to
fill up the cellars and the caches, buy the latest
in stills; machinery to get the snake out of a
trainload of grapes cargo of prunes, etc.
and so on. The cost of prohibtion-alleged
prohibition, will pay the war debt and then
some. Proh is saving no one cent as so fond
ly imagined by some The millions lost by it's
enactment might be counted in on that war debt
stuff. The loss of labor. The loss of invest
ment The war debt would be easy for these
to pay the bill if that were all. And what have
we gotten for all this? The chief of police in
Duluth thinks that with $4,000 policemen he
might enforce the law in Duluth. 0, we're
