A name does not signify anything
so it seems. Sober Island IN Nova
Scotia voted on November LIST, 214 for
government control of liquor and six
votes were cast for prohibition This
vote does not exactly enthuse the Anti
Saloon League, which by all methods
of thinking should have gone out Of
existence along with the saloon, but
still continues to solicit many heavy
donations for something accomplished
years ago and for the purpose Of abol-
ishing the saloon in all parts OF the
country-but more probably for the
purpose of paying salaries to the sew
eral heads of the organization
What's the idea Of going anywhere
else for the winter? Why not stay In
the Arrowhead Country? If there Is
anyone who knows Of any place in the
world where there is more pure air,
pleasant days and health giving cli-
mate than We have here just now, let
him speak up. Sure, there are some
who know of such places but cannot
speak from personal experience
However. it is ever thus with the
climate and with everything else
Greeener fields are found in South
America and the eggs are bigger and
fuller of meat in the old country than
they are here, so We have been told.
Still, with all this, there are few Of US
who would banker to live IN South
America or in the old country. The
peoples OF those countries are trying
their best TO get over here and out OF
there.
Minnesota is not so slow when you
come to think Of it, either in climate
or politics. Down in Washington they
are Just wondering how long 1t VIII
be before all the Offices in the capitol
are filed by Minnesota people. With
the appointment of @. A Youngqulst,
Minnesota's Attorney General, to the
position of Assistant Attorney Gen.
eral of the United States, there are
now ten of the most responsible pos
itions filed by Minnesota men,
These ten are among the Official
family and before going to fill the
positions they now hold, were Of Min
nesota's leaders. The list is impressive
and includes these:
Pierce Butler, associate justice Of the
supreme court of the United States.
William Dewitt Mitchell, attorney
general
G. A. Youngquist, assistant attorney
general
George Akerson and Walter N. New
ton, secretaries to the president.
Arch Coleman, first assistant post
master general
W. F. Shilling, member Of the Fed
eral farm board.
James M Doran, commissioner Of
prohibition
Charles h March, member of the
Federal trade commission
Carl T. Shuneman of Minnesota
only lately resigned as assistant sec
rotary of the treasury.
As the Duluth Herald remarked, it
is a good list that not many states
could equal either in size or quality.
Last week we stated that "Packy"
Lickar, an Ely boy, was going to per-
form in the prize ring at Calumet,
Michigan. with another northern Min
nesota product, Angelo Puglisi, of Dull
nth. This Angelo fellow has an ang-
elic name but a bad disposition and he
knocked "Packy" into tweet-tweet
realms in the first few seconds Of their
friendly argument He knocked Likar
down five times before giving him the
sleep producer. The fact that he came
to the front five times after hitting the
canvas, speaks well Of the Ely boy.
The stock hasco of week ago does
not mean very much to the legitimate
traders but played havoc with the mar
gin boys. The losses by actual holders
were mostly paper losses says very
prominent writer who further goes on
to state that paper profits on stock
had awaited beyond reason and be-
cause of the fact that most everybody
became stock-minded in the past few
months. The writer further says:
Real estate is as good as it was be-
fore the market slump; factories are
turning out just as good goods with
Just as much value; the dollar is as
sound as it was before the crash; and
the earning capacity of the dollar is
Just as stable as it was before every
body tried to get rich specializing.
After the crash was over, after the
lambs were shorn, Wall Street glee-
fully chuekled, Plenty more viii be
born" And the fellow who was trim
med but not entirely shingled, is back
in the market again looking for more. I"
St. Louis County, is never considered
an agricultural section but it must be
said that We are getting there fast.
The port Of Duluth shipped more than
fifty million pounds of butter the past
season to Eastern markets.
Bob" Whiteside Of Duluth thinks
that the migrating ducks have got
hep" to the army Of guns waiting for
them in Minnesota and are now steer
ing their course farther west and are
giving us the go-by. There is probably
another reason No self-respecting
duck cares to associate with some of
the gaudy, shapeless decoys which in
fest the waters near the duck passes.
