ground of a Nation" does not even
begin until after you leave Eveleth
going north and east. The Stiffness
of the arguments advanced by those
writing this bought-and- paid-for stuff
is apparent to all who have visited
the country hereabouts. "A road
through the Superior National For
est from Ely to Gunflint Lake
, means about six miles in the For
est and the balance through private
property held on chances of open
ing up mines-and good chances at
that-in case there was any method
of getting to the properties for de-
! velopment purposes. A dozen or
more surveys for a railroad through
this same country have been made
and no one said ''boo" until the

people. Don't shed tears for Ely or
| the tourist possibilities of this end
of the country. If we built ten
roads through the forest there would
still be hundreds of square miles
of inaccessible wilderness in which
the editors of these anti-Ely articles
could lose themselves. Be fair.
The people of Ely know where all
this bunk originates. The 1000
tourists who were here last season
will come again next season and
bring 1000 more with them. We've
got the country and this is what
tourists are after. Anyway, all
those interested will have chance
to personally get their testimony in

luth on April 8. Wen bet dollars
to doughnuts that the prime movers
in the opposition to the roads will
not be there.

Critics frequently make caustic
comments on newspapers lack of
accuracy" Many people have the
notion that the average newspaper
is not over jealous about avoiding
error.
Leo. A. White, of the Detroit
News after long investigation, finds
that daily papers make only one
error in every $3.50 opportunities
for mistakes. The country recently
celebrated the anniversary of the
landing of Pilgrims at Plymouth
Rock and history has pointed out
the very spot where they landed.
Now scientist discovers that at
the time the Pilgrims landed this
spot was under sea. Which leads
Mr.. White to ask. eff history can
not report a fact correctly in 800
paper to be unfailingly accurate
in six or eight hours" Every
reputable newspaper makes every
possible effort to get facts before
circulating a story. But, frequent
ly, the facts, as they later develop,
are unobtainable when n story is
written. There are thousands of
chances for error in every issue of
paper such as the Miner, and the
wonder is that more errors do not
occur.

PEOPLE USUALLY GET WHAT
THEY EXPECT.

A man in the Lake Superior fish
business tells an experience which
he says taught him a lesson that he
has found useful He learned his
lesson from a man who lives in a
humble cabin on the north shore.
Late one season the man who
tells the story was out on final
trip, and had his family along. He
was travelling the north shore in a
gasoline launch when a northeaster
sprang up. 1t was after dark, and
the ugly rocks were near, when his
engine went dead, and he couldn t
make it come to life again. The
boat was drifting. and the wind
was bearing it toward the rocks
which he knew were there though
the darkness hid them. The sea
was high, and getting higher every
minute.
Finding it impossible to get his
engine to working, he decided to
put over the small rowboat which
he had along, and try to get him
self and his family ashore. He
hadn't much hope, but he would
try Just then he saw light or
| the shore, and he rowed toward it
making a landing with some diff
Guilty on the narrow beach between
the rocks.
| A man met them and welcomed
them, taking them to his cabin fol-
| hot coffee, food and warmth. A.
they went, the rescued man said:

"Isn't it just as easy to expec
that it will be all right" asked
| his host; and he had/t admit the
| it was.
And when the morning broke
there he saw the launch, riding thu
waves in perfect safety The an
Choir which he had dropped be
| fore leaving the launch had takei
hold, and the boat had ridden on
the gale.
AS they were leaving, their hos
said, out of the philosophy which
in their talks they found him tt
possess in abundant measure:
"Now let this be lesson to you
1t is just as easy to expect gool
as it is to expect bad, and you'll
find that you generally get abou
what you are looking for"
That is good sense. of kline
that most of us need. We do gen
orally get about what we look for
It is proverb that the man wht
is looking for trouble usually finds
it. Many who have developed th'
practice of looking for good in
stead of evil find that it works thai
way, too.
/ What the north shore settler saic
is good sense; and it is good re

Senator Carley's chit and miss
charges against the political parties
on their campaign expenses seems
to have opened something larger
than the senator anticipated. No,
only the Republican and Democratic
committees but the Nonpartizar
bunch is likely to have their inne,
financial affairs looked into. Sen
ator Carley was working on the
other party theory when pressing
his charges and in this manner
thought he and his political cohorts
would be exempt from all investiga-
tons. Now. that he has stirred W
a mess. he is not quite so sure al
his random charges viii affect only
the opposition but may reach his own
beloved party. The senator is one OF
those who believes all the political

impression. The millions collectej

Not the least interesting thing
about the British debt settlement
is the announcement that the Brit
ish government will probably make
its payments in Liberty Bonds. The
bonds will be bought expressly for
this purpose, by experts taking ad-
vantage of changing market condi-
tions, and will be held in the
British treasury until the time for
payment. Britain can afford to do
that because of the interest she
will get from the bonds while they
are in her possession. When they
are turned over to the United
States Treasury, the bonds will
naturally be cancelled, and thus
so much of the war debt incurred
by this country will be wiped out.

The characters are done on heroic
lines for they were living in heroic

capable of almost any sacrifice in

the psychology rings true. The ex-
