RELYING ON A HORN
IS HELD A MENACE
THE SPEEDER WHO RJJSHES
THROUGH TRAFFIC WITH ONLY
THE HORN IN USE INSTEAD OF
THE BRAKES, GREATEST OF
DRIVING MENACES.

Don't rely upon your horn at street
intersections; it won't stop your car"
This pithy advice is being given
motorists by traffic authorities and
automobile owners organizations in
various communities. 1t takes cog
nizance of probably one of the greatest
traffic dangers of city driving.
Authorities having to do with the re-
duction of accidents and promoting the
safety of pedestrians, as well as
motorists, hold that the speeder, the
driver who weaves in and out of traffic
lanes and even the one who Jumps
the light" at street crossings is in
finitely less of a menace than the one
who drives at high speed through So
colled side streets and believes that
by sounding his horn he has signaled
his coming and thereby obtained the
right of way over other traffic.
Widened highways, one-way streets,
automobile signal lights, parking re-
strictions, the licensing of drivers and
the slow but steady raising of the
qualifications of motor car operators
all have contributed immeasurably to
holding down traffic accidents as the
volume OF traffic has grown.
Traffic agencies, however, agree that
the greatest progress in safety cam
paigns is to be gained mainly through
the education of the motoring public.
Holding that. no accident is wholly
unavoidable, they point out that there
are thousands upon thousands of
motorists who never have been in
volved in traffic accident. Similarly
they declare, there are thousands upon
thousands who never have been given
traffic violation ticket.
The very large majority of these
have escaped accidents and traffic
tickets not because they have been
lucky" but because they have been
careful drivers.
Disputing the contention that nc
accident is wholly unavoidable, there
has been cited the case of children
injured seriously or fatally, as the re-
suit of stepping out of a line of parked
cars into the path of one being driven
through the highway.
II didn't have time to STOP" the
motorist will argue Investigation in
varibly shows that the car was being
driven not only faster than was safe
through line of parked automobiles
but even faster than the legal speed
limit on so-called through streets.

that Ed. shot good golf because Bruce
Strachan defeated the writer on the

Kenneth Duncan who was here from

language of what he was going to do

Jon This
!: Occasion
Just few thoughts by the Editor
on things Material and Immaterial.
TOMORROW"

Tomorrow is a long way off.
Tomorrow has never, in all of
the centuries of this old world,
yet arrived.
Tomorrow is just around the
corner, and yet, like the pot of
gold at the end of the rainbow,
it is always just little beyond
reach.
When you go to bed at night
looking forward to the things
that you plan doing tomorrow,
you wake up in the golden sun
light, or murky cloudinesS of to-
day, and the day in which you
should have done what you had
planned to do tomorrow, has
passed into yesterday and the
task is still before you.
Tomorrow is a habit; and like
habits, if permitted to run at
large too long, becomes a disease.
Tomorrow is condition of the
mind-it is easy to fall into the
way of thinking Tomorrow"
but the world was not built on
things done tomorrow. 1t was
built on things done today.
Respect, therefore, time and
honor yourself doing those things
which should be done today.

SCOTCH GIRLS DEATH MAY
HAVE CHANGED u. S. HISTORY.

July ~ is the anniversary of the
death of beautiful Scotch girl during
the Revolution which may have
changed the course of American his
tory. For when this girl, on her way
to meet her Tory lover in Burgoyne's
army, was struck down by an Indian
tomahawk near Fort Edward, NJ Y,
no one could then realize what effec-
tive use the Patriot propagandists
would make of the story of her MUIR
der in rallying the Americans to resist
the invader. Yet it proved to be an
important factor in Burgoyne's final
defeat. Here is bit of little known
American history which will interest
you. You can find out more about it
by reading "The Story of Jane Nc
Crea" by Elmo Scott Watson in this
issue of The Miner.

fOllOWlnR TeCeIlC IuetIlIlS III d
Michigan city of the Superior Con-
ference of the Augustana Synod, set
of resolutions was drawn which were
sent to the press. One OF the resolu-
tions was strong in its denunciation
of the subsidized press" The Ish-
peming Iron Ore which received a
copy refused to publish the stuff with
the statement that sit was crowded
with miSStatementS and propaganda
that is not American" The Iron Ore
further said: "Some of these same
ministers of the gospel should speno
more time learning the English Ian
guage and get away from talking 30
their flocks in a foreign tongue, and
less time in writing foolish resolutions.
To assimilate our people it is essential
that one language be spoken, and we
class the foreign language newspaper,
which, fortunately, is fast disappear
ing, with the minister who does not
employ English in his sermons. One
language will suffice for all of us in
this country"
During the war and since, the
American press has been calling at
tention to the utterances of the foreign
language press in which propaganda
was being broadcast ridiculing Ameri-
can institutions and customs and
American laws. In this state during
the last primary campaign this at
titude on the part of American news
papers against foreign languages was
used as an issue to defeat some candi-
dates. This was particularly notice
able in the campaign against Governor
Christianson who had advocated the
adjustment of foreign language news
papers in his newspaper, The Dawson
Sentinel
1t does seem strange that such a
condition prevails but it is fact
nevertheless and the issue pops up in
every campaign, local, state or nat
ional. It is aso well known fact that
the better schools of Europe are
spending considerable of their time in
teaching the English language while
some of the schools of this country
are spending valuable time in teaching
languages which the original nation
alities are trying to minimize with the
ultimate idea of having English the
common talk of the world.
A strange paradox has developed.
A supreme court has held that bot
tie, no matter how empty, can be
guilty. 1t also holds that a purchaser,
no matter how full, can be innocent
Even supreme courts have their weak
moments.
The mining fraternity is mourning
the death of one of its most valued
memoirs. Although practically young
man, Frank p Botsford, assistant
general manager of all mines of the
Pickands, Mather Co., in Minnesota
had made an enviable reputation in
his chosen field of endeavor. His
death comes as a shock to the mining
and civic life of the ranges and the
state Northern Minnesota loses q
friend hard to replace.

Congratulations are being Showered
on William Edwards EaSton who has
just completed sixty years of service
as editor of the Saltwater Gazette.
The Gazette was established in 1870
by A B. Easton, father of Billy"
Easton, as he is Familiarity known.
The present editor was then boy in
his teens and has worked hard for his
paper and community during all the
years since. He has seen many
changes in the nation, state and his
own community since assuming charge
of the paper He is in excellent health
and spirits and is doing his daily
duty in the office of the Gazette during
regular business hours and at other
times when necessary. In honor of
this remarkable record on one of the
best papers in the state, special articles
by the staff and others will be printed
during the week of August LIST to 9Th,
commemorative what is believed to
be an unparalleled record of service in
Minnesota. Any man who can run
any business for 60 years shows re-
markable ability. This is especially
true when applied to the newspaper
game We venture the assumption
that in those 60 years Billy" Easton
has assisted the preachers and tomb
stones in making more saints than any
other agency in the state. He is that
kind of fellow. The Miner joins in.
the congratulations.
The farmers are getting in on the
world record business. Two farmer
boys, assisted by two brothers and
sister, took a secondhand plane and
broke the worlds record, spending
nearly "a, consecutive days in the air.
Now comes the champion cow, Jewel
Ormsby Piebe of Breckenridge, Mime
sofa, who in 173 days produced 933
pounds of butter and 1882 pounds
of milk AS the worlds record is 1857
pounds in years test it is very OBJ
vious that if she continues at this pace
she will break the record by at least
200 pounds. During cool weather this
notorious COW requires $50 pounds of
fodder and water every day. The re-
turns from this fodder consumption
not only produces a worlds record but
also milk and butter What the other
Minnesota record, wherein man eats
a barrel or so of sauerkraut produces,
we are not prepared to say in these
columns.

SPORTS
BY Charles Gallagher

The local ball team made their first
home appearance in the second half
of the range league schedule Sunday
and dropped ten inning game to the
Chisholm flyers by an to count
The locals played a poor brand of
ball, numerous weak spots having
shown up. The boys showed the lack
of coaching at bat, which they needed
badly, especially the new players. Ely
held four run advantage in the ninth
inning but they blew up and Chisholm
tied the count and pushed across two
more in the tenth while their pitcher
wiffed three local batters
Gadbout was ineffective in the latter
innings of the game and with poor
support and third rate officiating, Ely
dropped their first league game.
In the Fourth of July game Superior
had better team on the field and
had the game in hand most of the
time winning by 6 to count. At
that Superior was minus the services
of their regular first and third base
men and their crack southpaw twirler.
Had these men been here it probably
would have been sorry day for Ely.
Gadbout pitched fairly good ball
against Superior but a couple of breaks
went against Ely and cost them the
game. He struck out /13 batters and
kept his hits well scattered.
