Sheriff and Mrs. Emil Nelson of
Two Harbors, accompanied by Mrs.
Victor Johnson who has been visit
ing them for the past several weeks,
drove to Grand Marais Saturday. Mr..

home Tuesday afternoon.
The north shore of Lake Superior
is engulfed in a blizzard which has
been raging for the past several
days. Traffic on the road to Duluth
is tied up. The last mail came Sat-
urday night. The ice in the east
bay has gone out and the harbor ice
is all broken up, interrupting the
putting up of ice by some of the
local merchants and fishermen, who
had crews at work filling their ice
houses. AS we go to press the snow
is still flying, driven by an off-land
wind. This kind of winter helps
to demonstrate the necessity of
road following closely the lake
shore. Bids are to be opened and
the contract let March 9 for the
first lap of new permanent highway
on the north shore, from Cross River
to little Marais,- distance Of 14.5
miles. When the road is built ac
cording to plans, it will be lasting
benefit to us and our posterity. Has

Visibility Of the Moon.

The reason for only part of the
moons disc being visible to the earth
is that the east and west sides be-
the moons longitudinal libration The
filtration in latitude arises from the
moons axis not being perpendicular
to her orbit, in consequence nf which
a part of her surface round the North
pole is visible during one-half and Il
corresponding portion round the South
pole during the other half of her rev.
olution in her orbit; the filtration in
latitude is about degrees, Al minutes.

Board the Daugherty Prohibition
ruling Is final. In that sense Chair
man Lasker has promptly taken Of
fetal action In the only way open to
him. orders have been issued TO stop
the sale of liquor on American ships
everywhere.
But To foreign ships In the Ameri-
can trade the Daugherty ruling has
no such decisive meaning. With
them IL promises To no merely the
yaovocation and the starting point for
n long series of contests on legal
grounds. Naturally. they will seek to
establish in the United States courts
what they hold to be clearly their
rights, and In the meantime to pre-
vent by legal means interference by
United States governmental officials
with what has heretofore been the
unqueetioned practice of foreign
ships in providing alcoholic bever-
ages for their. crews and passengers.
Two years may pass before the legal
issues are fought out to conclusion.

DEApLOCKING GOVERNMENT.

Senator George Wharton Pepper.
Republican, OF Pennsylvania, a can
didate for reelection. in an address
at a Republican meeting in Philadel-
phia, few nights ago. made this
appeal: Don't deadlock your govern
ment for the next two years."
What Senator Pepper meant was
that the people should not elect a
Democratic Congress to sit at Wash
ington during the remainder OF Presi-
dent Hardins's term. Such n Congress,
or even n Congress composed OF Re-
publican Senate and Democratic
House. could not be expected to render
partisan support TO President Hard
ing during the remainder of his term.
For that matter. neither could a
Congress Republican III both branches
as the present Congress is. During the
notable session that closed only a
short time ago. President Harding
was upon more than one occasion re-
pudiated by the large party majority
in each house. In many respects this
Republican majority WAS like team
of wild horses and refused most in
solently to accept tho Presidents
leadership.
But Senator Peppers appeal 10 the
people not to deadlock the govern
ment" comes with very poor grace
from Republican. Four years ago,
Pepper and his fcllow-partisans were
calling upon the people to do this
very thing. President Wilson was in
the middle OF has second term. and the
Republican partisans strove desper.
ately to deadlock the government
by eiectins a Congress politically hos,
tile TO him. And they did, the ensuing
Congress having a working Republi,
can majority In the House, and a bar,
majority In the Senate by the pur
chased election Of Newbcrry, notwith
standing he WAS 'out on bail" mos
of the time.
So IL was all right, from the partisan
Republican view. to deadlock the gov
ernment" under a Democratic Presi
dent. but II will be all wrong TO d.
the same thing under a Republica,
President. Thus, we see how grea
a difference II makes. from n partisan
view, whose OK Is gored."
But the people. we take It, will no
be influenced by inconsistent partisar
appeals OF this character. They will

dictates of duty and sound tudgmen

A CONCRETE EXAMPLE.

The head OF one OF the largest mort
gage houses I'm Cleveland recently gave
a concrete illustration Of the need for
regulations to protect home neighbor-
hoods. He said: "A clerk I'm one Of
our downtown stores. after a lifetime
of work. accumulated enough money
to buy n home in a brand new
nelghborhood in the outskirts Of our
city. He paid 81, 900 for his house. and
we were glad TO loan him $4,000 on

REPUBLICAN APATHY.

II the light registration were CON
fined to this State Il would be inter
esting enough. But tho phenomenon
Is more extensive than that, In Maine
the rhrinkage in the vote at the re-
cent State election was entirely on
the Republican side. The Democratic
vote was larger by some 1900 than
that of 1920.
In New York state the registration
has been notably light This has not
been confined to Republican sections.
Democratic leaders In New York city
are not satisfied with the results. But

loud from the Republican counties up

and the light registration points
strongly TO the dissatisfaction Of Re-
publicans with Albany ard Washing
ton.
In this State the decreased rogistra-
ton is most married. and most signifi-
cant. In this city, a Republican strong
hold, the registration in three days
did not amount 10 one-half the as
sessed voters. The registration this

the Cabell county Grand Jury for vio-
lation of the election laws of West

that he had spent approximately $780,

APPLES RIPE FOR EATING.
cop,1ixht 1922 by Edgar A. Quest

Apples ripe for eating, and the CRATE
fire blazing high.
And outside the moon Of autumn fair
ly swimming in the sky;
The cellar packed with good things
from the vine and field and tree,
Oh. the speech of man can't tell 1t, but
Il somehow seems TO me
With such warmth and cheer around
us. we should all burst into song
And store enough OF gladness now to
last our whole lives long.
Apples ripe for eating-there's a 10y
beyond compare
To pay for all our trouble, and the
burdens We must bear
The bowl upon the table filled with
round and rosy cheeks.
And enough down in the cellar TO last
all the winter weeks,
So that when the bowl is empty we
can Ali II up again
And in spite OF that we srumble and
we bitterly complain.
sometimes sit and wonder as we pack
life's fruits away
And hoard them in the cellar for the
bleak and wtntry day,
Why the mind Of man has never tried
TO store a stock Of cheer
In the cellar of his memory for the
barren time OF year,
So that when Joys bowl is emptied and
he thinks that life is vain
He can seek bis hoard Of pleasures and
just fill II up again.
Apples ripe for eating and a stock OF
them below
For the long cold nights of winter we
shall shortly come to know,
So that when we need a pleasure tha
will seem to soothe the soul
We can wander to the cellar and fl
UP the apple bowl.
So we could, If we were mindful, wher
our hearts with grief are sad
Refresh our faltering courage with th'
pleasures we have had.

UNNECESSARY CRUELTY.

II is a pity that the requirements
are such that women must state ther
exact ages before they can register
10 vote. The purpose of identification
which is relied upon chiefly as
reason for the rule, does not weigh
heavily enough 10 counterbalance the
disadvantages which accrue. lhls
year, especially, we have needed All
the Inducements possible to convince
the voters that an important elecuCn
really deserves their attention, but
instead of inducements we have laid
upon the women voters handicap.
To the average man the woman's
sensitivenese about her age is just
another proof that she is a peculiar
creature beyond logical understand
ing. But the woman'e fear CT public
tty concerning her age is not so much
a fear that It will affect her marriage
chances as Il is a fear and dislike
Of other women learning the secret.
That causes gossip. sometimes of an
unpleasant kind. and the horror OF
every woman Is the deliverance Ct
herself into the mercies of others OF
her sex. Men she can handle; women
she can't. For they KNOW Where ne
the joints in her armor, and all that
they need is an arrow or two.
For time out of mind before suf-
| frage, this disinclination of woman
to tell her age has been a standing
| Joke. 1t has become now serlou:
matter, affecting government, affect
ing decisions of national import. Th'
rule should be changed
