program Of improvement Clerk {. b.
Holmes, of Urbana, issued permits for
more than 100000 during the first two
weeks of August. The amount named
in the permits do not cover the entire
cost of construction. There are numer-
Gus items which should increase the
actual cost to at least $4,000.
This is a small item as compared
to the mammoth improvements for the

If the crime wave continues there
will be an excess demand for neS
recruits in the states attorneys OIL
ces and on the bench of the criminal
courts of this and other crime states.
Laborers out of job would do well
to seek employment of this kind.
Quite probably they could qualify
with scant preparation, and the honors
are much greater than those gained
by wheeling bricks and mortar OF
digging bitches.
Press reports state that there are
now 1899 criminal cases awaiting
trial in the Criminal Court Of Cook
county. The congestion Is due to the
piling up of cases during July and
August, the vacation months.
The vacation period should offer
another inducement to Laborers to

President William Green, in an adj
dress before the Ohio state Fedora
ton of Labor at Steubenyille' eX-
pressed the opinion that federal judg-
es are chosen by the United States
senators. and decried the method by
which incompetent or biased judges
may become federal appointees 10
positions from which they cannot cas-
lily be dislodged. President Green
expressed his decided opinion that the
federal judiciary is deteriorating.
He states that United States sena-
tors simply tell the president whom
and whom not to appoint" If this is
the case ii behooyes Labor TO elect
the United States senators, or take
the consequences of a poorly selected
judiciary, or a judiciary biased against
the interests of Labor.
Our system of appointing federal
judges seems to require that an APP
pOintee be friendly to the United
States senator from his district. Just
why this should be true is an open
question, yet from the standpoint of
politics it would seem to be eXpedient
Not that the senator dictates the
judicial decisions, but unquestionably
the judge who has secured his office
through senatorial courtesy will not
go far astray by offending his bene-
factor in his decisions. What the
senator wants in a given case, say in
Labor dispute, is very likely to be
rendered by the judge thus appointed
If the senator wants to use the in
junction method against Labor he will
secure the appointment of a judge
favorable to the injunction. For thi,
reason alone, if there were no others
it would behoove Labor to becom,
vitality interested in the election o
United States senator's.

Times have changed in the las;
quarter of a century. 1t used to be
the political wind jammer who ex-
PEELED all the bunk from an impro-
wiser grand-stand. Now the politician
resorts to other more or less credita-
BILE tactics and turns the arena over
to the opponents of the prize ring
The result is that the public is treated
to a daily digest of bunk from dozen
or two promoters and scrappers.
For instance Tex Richard claims
that he has reached an agreement
with Dempsey and Dempsey denies
any agreement existing. Fitzsimmons
claims he has signed Dempsey for a
fight with Wills and the press doubts
that the champion will ever fight
again. Dempsey says he will not fight
in New York and Kearns says Demp-
sey will fight wherever he dictates.
Back in the days of John l.. Sulli-
van men took off their outer gar
ments and went at it handed and
took what gate receipts they could
get with twenty-four hours announce
ment. Sullivan fought any contender
on short notice. He was not out after
filthy lucre, but for the fame of be-
ing the greatest fighter living. He
would not let any man dispute his
claim longer than it took to get him
into the ring.
Times have changed. Prize fighting
has reached the puppy stage. There
are few good fighters, but they are
likely to die Of old age before getting
chance at the belt.

HEAVY DEMAND FOR ORE
INSURES LATE SHIPMENTS.

Unusual demands for ore in the
east indicate operations at the Min
nesota iron mines until late this
month, says William j. Olcott, presi-
dent of the Oliver Iron Mining Com
pany.
Although the largest bulk of the
ore has been shipped, shipments will
continue as long as the weather
permits and up to November %, if
possible, to meet the extremely
large demands on the eastern mills, "
said Mr.. Olcott.
"Most of the operations at the
Minnesota iron mines are usually
over at this time of the year, but
the heavy steel orders throughout
the country have caused the issu-
ance of orders for ore shipments
further into the winter season than
is usual. If the weather is favor
able, ore will be shipped to the Du-
luth docks until the last week of
the month"
The situation is also true of sew
eral of the independent companies
that are also expected to operate as
long as weather will permit.
Several of the mines had shut
down operations during the last
week in October, due to the frost,
but the coming of milder weather
caused resumption of operations
that mining officials expect to con-
tinue much later than usual.
Mr.. Olcott estimated the total
shipments for the season at 48,000,-
900 tons, a considerable increase
over last year and passed only twice
since 1920.

pass and a line plunge gave Biwabik
a touchdown. Goal was kicked and
the game ended. Strange how the
last quarter seemed longer than any
of the other three. Score at end of
game was: Ely 10; ,Biwabik Z.
Every player of the Ely team
played his best game of the season
and it was because of this united
strength that Ely was able to so
completely trounce Biwabik. The
shifting of Captain Pucel back to
center considerably enlivened the
Ely line while the placing of Colon
BIO in the backfeld added more i'm
petus to the line plunging. Hogan,
Biwabik captain, was the luminary
of that team.
Turula, Ely halfback, was injured
in the first quarter of game and
had to be taken out.
The Ely lineup at the beginning
of game was: |. e. Darges. |. t. R.
Maxi. l.g. Mayerle, C. Pucel, rig.
Clough, r. t. Colombo, r. e. Jokinen,

Ely trounces Biwabik in Last Grid
Game of Season. Score 19 to z.
BY displaying the same fight that
characterized their play in the Two
Harbors game the locals completely
outclassed the Biwabik outfit. In
othea words, the home team played
real football for the second time
this season. Biwabik was helpless
before the stonewall defense of the
Ely team, for only twice were they
able to penetrate into Ely territory.
After Biwabik had received the
initial kickoff, they attempted to
make yardage through the Ely line,
however the Ely linemen thought
differently for they presented Biwa-
blk with a 10 yard loss on their
first two attempts. Biwabik then
easily punted out of danger. TAX
ing the ball in midfeld. Ely began
a march goalward which was stop
ped, not by Biwabik, but by the
numerous penalties inflicted by the
hawkeyed referee. Ely had no fur
Their opportunities to score and the
quarter ended with the score, Ely o.;
Biwabik O.
During the second quarter Biwa-
blk again tried advancing the ball,
but as before their attempts were
futile. Not so with the home team,
for after the ball had been advanced
well into Biwabik territory Jokinen
of Ely grabbed a pass and carried
the oval to the yard line. Twenty
eight seconds to play before the
end of the first half announced the
only timekeeper, (from Biwabik)
Quickly Ely pulled a play; it failed,
and before another could be at
tempted the half ended. Strange
how twenty-eight seconds, (half of
a minute) could go so fast. Score
at half time: Ely o.; Biwabik 0.
Nothing startling was accomplish
ed by either team during the third
period, except that Colombo of Ely
got punt which SCARED, bounced,
and rolled the entire length of the
field. In fact Colombo had it an
over Hogan of Biwabik in the kick
ing department of the game. The
score at the end of this quarter was
still: Ely o.; Biwabik O.
Ely started the fireworks in the
fourth quarter by carrying tine ball
half the length of the field for the
first touchdown of the game, The
stellar line plunging of Colombo and
B. Maxi made this score possible.
Shortly after, Biwabik attempted to
pass to an end who was hidden
along the siielines but Dahl, the Ely
halfback, was on the watch; for
just as the Biwabik man hurled the
ball towards his teammate Dahl
came rushing in. snatched the elus-
i've oval, and raced as yards for a
touchdown. Goal was kicked.
Once more gaining possession of
the ball Ely began a series of end
runs and line-bucks which advanced
the ball unusually fast. Then a
pass, Heikkila to R. Maxi on an end
back formation, gave Ely six more
points. Only few seconds left an
nounced the time-keeper. Receiv-
ing the kickoff Biwabik began a
passing attack which worked sue
cessfully. Two and one-half min
utes to play announced the posses
sor of the stop-wach. Then another

Governor Christensen is hewing
to the line on his retrenchment and
economy policies. The Hennepin
County boiler Inspector has been
placed on a salary basis and a saw
ing effected of omething like $4,000
a year. 1t was shown that the Off
cial's fees amounted to as much as
$4,000 a year or twice as much as
the governors salary; almost twice
as large as the salary of the
justice of the Supreme Court. Fig
ures show that the boiler inspector
of Hennepin County in the year
1924 collected $18,719.50 from the
owners of boilers in the county in
excess of the amount turned over
to the state treasury. The governor
put Mr.. Inspector on a 1915 a
month salary and the balance of the
fees are to be turned into the state
treasury. 1915 a month is not to
be sneezed at and we bet dollars to
doughhuts the inspector will not re-
sign. None ever do or die.

every article pictured carried with
it considerable explanation of the
article such as the way it is made,
the material used, it's serviceableness

A writer named Mencken, some
where in the East, has been max
ing wise cracks at the people of
the middle west and their commun-
tiles. Every once in while some
nit-wit of an easterner fills up sew
eral magazine pages with rot and
drivel of this kind under the name
of literature, absolutely devoid of
intelligence or wit. This Mencken
fellow took an unholy rap at North
Dakota a few weeks ago which has
not set well with the people of that
state. He designated it as 're-
mote and God-forsaken cow state,
largely peopled by Scandinavians,"
and then went on to belittle the in
