of the well-to-do. In America.
where there is telephone to every
six or seven people, practically
every working man is on the wire,
and so is practically every farmer.
In England, large houses containing
invaluable art collections burn down
because there is no telephone to call
the fire brigade. People living in
the country have 10 send for the
doctor on foot or on horseback
exactly as they did in the Middle
Ages.
"All over Europe the telephone
is managed. or rather mismanaged,
by officialdom. In America the tele-
phone is a private institution, and
the result is that the United States,
with 100000 inhabitants, has
considerably more than twice as
many telephones as all Europe with
four times as many inhabitants.
at is time we denationalized the
various public services which can
be carried on far more cheaply and
far more efficiently by private en-
terprise, and beginning should be
made with the telephone.

A DUTY OF WOMEN VOTERS.

1t is settled by the supreme court
of Minnesota that one-sex juries are
not the way to carry out the intent
of the women suffrage amendment
If the county commissioners do not
mix the sexes in their jury lists, they
cannot be lacked up by the manda-
mus-that's no way-but the OBJ
lection Of any attorney when cases
come on for trial before such one
sided juries will be effective. That
is, an attorneys challenge will de-
feat the purpose of jury pickers, if
they do not pick fairly between men
and women.
1nere are not lacking low minded
newspaper editors who are already
intimating that the effective appeal
of women in Renville county for
fair play in jury selection was
prompted by a desire to listen to
salacious cases. This sort of thing
shows that there are still men who
hold to the view expressed in the
republican national convention in
the fifties of the last century, that
women have no souls. The protest
in Renville county, against one-sex
juries was inspired by high sense
of civic duty, whether disagreeable
or not. The women who took part
in it were defending right which
they and their mothers fought for
during half a century, and won
through trouble and travail of soul,
through prosecution and persecution
"a right that was denied by the
type of men who wish to protect
but never to give justice to women.
The only thing left to these ours of
the two-legged breed is to asperse
the clean mindedness of womanhood
and some of them are quite naturally
doing it.-Harry Wheelock in the
Fergus Falls Tribune.

Well it looks as if "Slim" Lind

Paris safe for the American Legion

ABUSING PROBATION.

The nation had hardly stopped ap-
plauding the Gray-Snyder convic-
lions in New York and six Holly
wood slayers when the district at
torney at Los Angeles chilled popu-
lar appreciation by announcing that
4e would ask probation for the
Hollywood offenders.
"They have learned their lesson"
was his ingenious explanation for
such action.
In other words Hollywood is con-
tent to let it's film colonists shoot
each other; stand the expense of
convicting them and then permit
them to go lee, satisfied that they
have been punished enough for their
wrongdoing.
The foreman of the jury which
convicted five of the six persons in
volved in the Hollywood Staying
said that they voted as they did be-
cause they believed sit was time to
put stop to wild gin parties"
If freeing these offenders without
serving day in prison will tend to
stop wild gin parties and shooting
at Hollywood, the moral fibre of
the populace there is extraordinary.

A GOOD TIME TO BUILD

The time to build that new home,
to build additions or to make repairs
most economically is right now.
There is evidence of permanent,
increasing price trend for lumber.
Stocks of lumber are said to be the
lowest in history. The next month
or so, between the busiest seasons
of summer, will be the best time to
build.
There has been a considerable de-
crease in the annual cut of timber
of all kinds, while the demand has
been increasing. On top of this de-
cline due to forest depletion and for
other reasons, the Mississippi flood
has inundated more than 200 hard
wood mills, washed away their stocks
or degraded them, while at the same
time the pine mills have been seri-
ously hurt. In addition. the flood
has washed away or destroyed or
seriously damaged ten thousands OF
homes, which must be replaced.
The predicted national building
decline for 1927 is failing to
materialize. New construction
throughout the country in March
was $1,000, OOO,. 1000, largest re-
ported in any month in the country's
history.
The building permits issued in
this state up to the present time in
dictate that we will surpass any for
mer year, while building is ex-
tremely active in ST. Louis County.
Comfortable homes and modern
business houses are working together
to make this one of the snapplest
communities in the state. Let's
keep up the good work and make
Ely and the surrounding country
still better in the way of improve
ments.

PUBLIC OWNERSHIP.

Commenting on the latest annual
report of the American Telephone
& Telegraph Company. a writer IN
the London Daily Mail points out
that for every hundred people in
the United States there are more
than IA telephones, while in the
United Kingdom there are fewer
than three.
This condition he ascribes to the
fact that the British telephone sys-
tenn is operated by the Post Office
Department, while in America the
service is owned and managed by
private enterprise.

cally managed telephone is luxury
