WHEN YOU WANT TO GET RID
OF A SUBJECT.

To accept the proposals of Candidate
Smith that commission be appoint
ed to handle every important issue
now before the people is to abandon
I the idea of representative government
in republic and to convert this coun-
try into a bureaucracy.
There was hint, that Governor
Smith would lean heavily on commits
sions in his acceptance speech when
he talked on waterways. This was
further confirmed when he Rode into
the West" to explain to the farmers
his attitude on agriculture in the st.
Paul, Minnesota, speech, and he adj
mitted a lack of knowledge on agri-
cultural matters throughout the ma
ton, and took cover under the Sug-
geStion that, If elected, he would ap-
point commission to study the facts
Now, on top of all this, in the clos
ing days of the campaign, in his Louis
vile speech on october Is, Candidate
Smith places himself in the position
of a doctor prescribing to the nation.
He offers to appoint a non-partisan
commission of five to study the tariff
question and to report to him.
The countless activities Of this great
government cannot be slowed down TO
the speed of action by commission.
We have gone through a period of
seven and one-half years during which
the Republican party has been in con-
troll in Washington and things have
been accomplished.
The great outstanding fact Is that
this country Is prosperous, that its
people are active and that they Will

SCHOOL, GO SLOW!

The above is the warning sign that
meets the motorists eye in thousands
of cities and towns. There is good rea-
son for it. The children come tearing
out of school, run, full of enthusiasm
as they resume their play. They are
so running over with high spirits, that
it is hard for them to look up and
down the street as they cross.
Many communities place police Off
GERS near the schoolhouse at the OPEN
ing and closing of school, and some
times patrol of school boys is ap-
pointed to warn the motorists. Such
measures are highly desirable. Yet if
the automobile drivers were cautious
and considerate, no such precautions
would be necessary. They would see
of themselves the necessity for the
utmost care. ~
The life of every little child should
be precious in the sight of the motor
lists. 1t will only take him few Sec
onds to slow down when he sees the
school sign. How much better than
to run over some helpless child and
bring enxiety or grief to its family!-

FRANK J. RYAN
LAST NIGHT
SIX HUNDRED OR MORE PEOPLE
LISTENED TO SECRETARY OF
STATE FRANK. ]. RYAN OF KAN
SAS TELL WHY HE WAS IN
FAVOR OF HOOVER FOR PRESI-
DENT

Over six hundred people were pres
ent last evening at the Washington
Auditorium where Frank ]. Ryan, sec
rotary of state of Kansas, sent out by
the National Speakers Bureau under
the direction of Congressman Walter
Newton of this state, told the audience
why he favored Herbert Hoover for
president.
Mr.. Ryan is not what might be call
ed a spellbinder according to present
standards established by radio speak
erS He is a plain talker and his
audience listened attentively Before
coming to this city, Mr. Ryan has trav-
eled through Indiana, Ohio, and sew
eral other states in the interests of
the Republican ticket He spoke in
several of the Mesaba range towns be-
fore coming to Ely and left here for
international Falls
Speaking from the standpoint of a
laboring man, he having been a mem
Der of the telegrapher's union all his
life, he brought out the contrast be-
tween the policies of the two great
parties as relating to labor during
their administrations. He cited the ex-
ceptional lean years which always fol-
president and especially cited the 1893
fiacso remembered by large number
in this city.
The meeting was opened with the
playing of 1.-THE Star Spangled Ban
ner" by the Municipal Band which
had paraded the streets of the city
before the meeting. Alderman E. c.
Jones Chairman of the Executive Com
mittee of the Hoover Club, called the
meeting to order and introduced J.
Carver Richards, county chairman of
the Republican party. Mr.. Richards
made short talk in which he
called the attention to his candidacy
for the legislature in this district. The
legislative ticket is on a no party basis
He also called for the opposing candi-
dates but none were present. Mr.
Richards also introduced the main
speaker.
The meeting was to have been ad-
dressed by speaker from Duluth who
was to come up by auto in time for
the gathering. He failed to arrive until
after o'clock.

FARM PROBLEM AS OLD AS ADAM

r. L. Duffus, in an article in the
New York Times, entitled, 1.-The Farm
Problem Is as Old as Adam" makes
a most intelligent analysis of agricul-
tural conditions. MIR. DuffuS' conclu-
sion is definite statement of what the
farmer may expect in the future.
1.-The American farmer" he says,
first among all the tillerS of the soil
in the history of mankind, is ceasing to
be merely a farmer and is becoming
business man and manufacturer
Reapers, harvesters, combines, gang
plows, improved fertilizers, great irri-
CATION projects, the growth of coopera-
tive associations which now handle
about fifth of all the farmers bust
nesS-au these show that the industrial
revolution is at last penetrating to the
farm.
1.-THE American farmer, despite his
present troubles, is Transforming him
self into new mana happier and
more successful one. He is breaking
down the barrier between himself and
his fellows in the cities.
1.-The city Is peacefully penetrating
the country, the country peacefully
penetrating the city. The population Is
being geographically scrambled as
never before. This doesn't mean that
the economic interests of the farmer
and the city man are about to become
identical But the farmer is becoming
socially and culturally more like the
dweller in towns. The bitterness which
results when there is a struggle be-
tween groups of totally different ways
of living and thinking is bound to be
removed. The agricultural problem
is entering upon new stage-an issue
between equals. 1t will long be an
economic issue, but the time is prob
ably past when it can shake the
foundations of the Republic.

MINES SHOW PROGRESS.

The mining industry has shown
more marked progress and economic
stability than almost any other busi-
ness this. year. Increased demand for
such metals as copper and zinc, COUP
led with greater efficiency on the
managing and producing ends has
made the metal market more sound
than ever before.
Modern mining is not the dramatic,
romantic adventure of past days. In
stead it has become strong, essen
tial industry, supplying necessary fac
tors of our industrial life. It has
brought great prosperity to many
states; indirectly it has aided the pros
perity of the entire nation.
We produce large percentage of the
worlds lead, zinc and copper and about
half of the worlds consumption is in
the home market. Our mines are an
integral part of our social and indus
trial civilization.

No greater danger could possibly
threaten free people than to have
all of their thinking done for them
by so-called experts" who, in the
last analysis, are only human beings.
The tried and true formula for sue
cessful free government is the one un-
der which we live, which has stood the
test since 1776. Whatever mistakes
may be made under any Congress can
be cured within two years by COM
plete sweeping out of the members of
the House of Representatives and a
possible change of one-third of all the
Senators. Here is the great principle
OF safe government, efficient govern
ment, progressive government.
There is no disposition on the part
of American men and women to con-
vert their government into a bureau
cracy.

the st. Lawrence waterway as likely to

ceipts for grain in the northwest. He

Daniel Waite, Candidate for Pro-

in this office is desirable.

himself is no more. He paid part
of the penalty for his crimes when
he was hanged last Friday. The kid
naping and subsequent murder of
little Marian Parker for which he paid
the death penalty, was one of the
most brutal things ever perpetrated by
a fiend in human form. He lived al
together too long and his heroics at
the trial and later in the prison should
have been snapped out of him months
ago. or Immediately after he was found
guilty. There is one thing certain.
He will not menace the human race
any more. Had he been given life

a chance of getting out sometime and
continuing his perverted career OF
