Material and Immaterial.

A short time ago over In Bemldp
several ladies took charge OF the Sen
tinel for one day. The ladies solicited
the advertising, gathered the news and
kept the hnotypes busy. never
again" say the ladies. One DAY was
enough for them and they decided that
running a newspaper was not all beer
and skittles." After 1t was all over
one of the ladies sent in the following
lines and which we hope some OF the
Ely people will read carefully and take
to heart. The lady said: Never
again will we call in shortly before
press time to ask the editor to put a
club notice on the front page. Never
again will we call up to complain be-
cause our name was ommitted from a
program published the previous day.
Nor will we ask the editor to write up
an article from a few scratchy pencil
notes. In this brief time we have had
our trials, knocks and complaints.
We have seen bit Of the hundred ana
one factors, the thousand and one in
diyiduals that a newspaper must en-
deavor to please. We realize this Is
all just a part of the weekly routine OF
the newspaper man. And so we Will
return to our own tasks and professions
with a profound respect for the people
who are in the organized business OF
presenting the news to the public"
According to advises received at this
Office, sentiment in favor OF w. s.
Hoshal of Hibbing is growing for the
position of Collector of Customs Tor
Duluth. A large number of endorse
ments have been received from all
points in the state by members of the
D. A. v. and the same have been sent
to Senator Thos. D. Schall, Secre-
tary Mellon and President Hoover.
Active members of the committee In
Mr.. Hoshals behalf are Brian Thorn
ton, Edgar Vivian and Elmer johnson
of Hibbing and James Monohan and
Willard Rice of Minneapolis.
Managing Mr.. Hoshai's interests in
Washington is Thomas r. Kirby, Nat
ional Legislative Chairman OF the DIS
abled American Veterans who speaks
very favorably of the candidates
chances of landing the position which
in every way he is abundantly able tol
fill. He has been assured that thel
present administration would be mind
full towards the D. A. v. III caring fof
their comrades. Senator Schall VINO
has always been friend to the service
man is ex2a, TED to lead his support
Press reports of few weeks ago
stated that Senator Schan had sub
mitted the names of twenty-tWol
aspirants to president Hoover and that
since that time several conferences
have ben had and the candidates dis
cussed. In the list of twenty-twol
there are several very prominent men
in the political situation in this county
and also in Superior, wisconsin. Asl
the election of Senator is in the offing
in this state, it will be somewhat OF a
task for Senator Schall to pick any
one of the large list. Politics and
logic are strange reactions to inject
into any campaign, and it is hard to-
tell just what angle in making the ap-
pointment will be employed. Then TO
cap the climax, the nationality ques-
ton has popped up.
It is a well known fact that party
adherence, and persistant labor ana
contributions in past campaigns are
forgotten in making appointments.
What can this, that and the other do
in the future towards our election" will
probably govern this appointment as
well as it has governed several others
we can name The good party man
sticks anyway while the obsteperousl
opposition must be placated and
brought into the fold. If there is any
prominent hardworking Democrat in
the list, he will probably be named.
Take the list of appointments made IN
your immediate vicinity. Look them
over carefully and see what is what.
The Cook Newsboy has ben sold by
c. A. Knapp to G. W. Palmer of Crane
Lake. The new owner is an old news
paper man but for some time has oper-
ated a summer resort at Crane Lake.
He intends to change the name to|
The Cook News, more mature des-
lgnation than the Newsboy. Mr..
Knapp will remain on the force of the
paper for the present it is under
stood.
Lloyd j. Palmer, United States
Court Commissioner, makes the state
ment that the average bootlegger, re-
puted to be rolling in wealth, has alb
solutely nothing when they come be-
fore him. In speaking Of the i'm
poverished condition of the prisoner
he says: MY experience with the law
violators brings out the fact that the
racket doesn't pay" Since Deem
Der 20, pauper's oaths have been taken
by Al violators. This number repre-
sentS the majority arrested for liquor
law violations since that time. A
pauper in the sense of the federal
court is a man who has money not
exceeding $40. A careful check of
those taking the oath is made by the
department of justice and those
swearing falsely are subject to arrest
for perjury.
