Probate Judge S. W. Gilpin, who
has held this position for many years
during which be became well known
in all the range towns and Duluth, re-
signed his position the latter part OF
last week and Governor Christensen
at once named W. j. Archer of Vir-
ginia to fill Judge Gilpins unexpired
term.
The resignation of Judge Gilpin is
deplored by large number OF people
who in the years he has held the ONCE
have come in contact with him. He
was a painstaking official, with a keen
sense of being beneficial to his fellow
man and especially the widows and
orphans who came under his jurisdic-
ton in the handling of probate affairs
He has inagurated many advantageous
Innovations during his terms, among
others being the holding OF terms OF
court in the range communities where
local matters have been ironed out
without the necessity of paying heavy
witness fees and travelling expenses
for those having business before him.
He leaves the office of Judge of Pro-
bate to accept the election as wee
president and trust officer of the CITY
National Bank in which position he
will continue to be useful to those VINO
may have business before the probate
court inasmuch as he will handle al
fairs for the living so as to be OF oene-
fit to the heirs by seeing that trust
papers and wills are properly made
and advised. His long experience IN
Office have eminently fitted him for
this position.
While many will deplore the resigna-
ton of Judge Gilpin, universal salts
faction is expressed over the appoint
ment of Mr.. Archer to the vacated
post. He is an attorney of ability and
has all the earmarkS of a successful
Judge of probate. We congratulate
Mr.. Archer on his appointment and
also congratulate the people OF st.
Louis county in having secured a man
of his standing to the responsible posi-
ton.
The editor of this paper was on
Monday reelected as president OF the
st. Louis County Press Association.
We are very much pleased with the
honor conferred on us and will say
that with the fine bunch of fellows
making up the association, it will be
a pleasure to serve them to the ut
most of our ability and hope that
when the next election rolls around
they will see their way clear to pass
the honor to some other Of the
twenty-one worthy colleagues making
up the organization. George M. Jen-
sen of the West Duluth Advertiser
was reelected vice president and Wal
ter B. Brown of the Chisholm Herald
was reelected secretary and treasurer.
The president was also instructed TO
name a committee to arrange for the
July meeting at one of the beautiful
lakes, either here or at some other
spot in the county, at which the edi-
tors can meet on an outing to which
the Duluth printers, the county COM
missioners and their families are also
invited.

Sixty billions is the annual payroll
of the United States, just fifteen bill
lion more than it costs the workers to
live. A new scheme is now being test
ed by the big industries and meeting
with considerable satisfaction to work
out program to get the fifteen bill
lion into circulation. The scheme is
to have a five-day week to work and
one day to spend and enjoy with Sun
day to do as you please. So far no
one has as yet thought up any plan
by which the employer can get in on
this.
