COMMENTS ON THE "REvOLUTION'

city in the world. ."--Ironwood News
Record,
Counties like Iron. where contu-
macy on the part OF local officials n
Expected, can come In for special at
ltention from the federal agents, work
ing effectively on these lines of due
porcess OF the law. III any OF their
officials are derelict, and this can be
proved, there Is no doubt that public
sentiment will make necessary the
intervention OF the governor. to their
undoing
There need be no mourning the fact
that the kibosh has been placed on the
high handed methods essayed by Ma
jor Dalrymple In the upper peninsula
this week. They were stupid methods,
bound 20 cause an uproar out OF all
proportion TO the results that could be
achieved by them, IL they did not bring
about a clash of authority much more
serious, after ALL than the condition
OF law violation with which they we're
aimed to deal.--Marquette Mining

49,
From the distance Il looks as IL this
man Grove had been acting without
authority and that he lost his head.
and whole lot OF men took pleas
ure trip from Chicago 10 Iron county
at Government expense. The people
OF Iron county are Justly indignant
at the notoriety they have secured this
week and no one can blame them any.
Isn't IL about time that there was a
little more care used in squandering
the funds OF the people OF the United
States. Between the hundreds OF far
cical Investigations that result in
lot of silly CAB, and not ouly that, the
time used up in listening TO the silly
Sims squabble, and lot OF other use
less waste OF the peoples money, mil
lions OF money is being squandered
and II is about time that an era OF
common sense would begin to dawn.
We have prohibition laws now in
force, and they shoulud be obeyed or
changed, but the execution or those
laws do not justify the action of Mr..
Dalrymple-major, in shooting on his
mouth, then putting the people TO the
expense OF moving his august "nibs'
with an armed guard OF sixteen men
from Chicago TO Marquette, then back
TO Iron River and later on back home
to Chicago, to place under arrest
man who had already wired that he
was ready and willing TO be arrested,
IL there was anything to arrest him
for.
We suppose this SHY trip OF Dali
rymple and his aides will cost the gov
ernment a couple OF thousand dollors,
but what cares he, the deer peepur
will have to pay II, while he and his
men will be drawing down fat salaries
and having comfortable trip in the
bargain.
II "is to laugh" II there was not evil
dence OF so many other similar wastes
OF the public funds. that we will have

medicinal preparation for the prevail
ing flu or la grippe.--Keweenaw Min
er.
The whole matter seems TO have had
its origin in the desire OF County,
state and Federal officials to get into
the limelight and they sure succeeded.
The matter Is TO be threshed out at
Grand Rapids or some other point,
where the warning officials will meet
on common ground, outside of the
danger zone All in all the episode Is
but another instance of, much ado
about nothing Norway Current
Michigan's Rum Revolt, even II IL
becomes more serious than early de-
velopments promise, will not go down
In history with the Whiskey Rebellion
OF 1894. In fact, unless some histor-
ian of distorted vision sees In some
manifestation OF bolshevism, II Is
quite likely that 1t will never be heard
OF by succeeding generations. The
economic causes OF colonial days are
lacking today and accounts OF the UP
per Peninsula trouble disclose that
appetite and not financial considera-
tons Is guiding those who would set
the federal law at naught.-Detrot
