They say
Killed BrutuS

Brutus was good dog, the friendly, tail-wag-
ging, smiling kind of dog. Wanting to be petted
he jumped upon the lady, who was frightened
The person she told this to said Brutus had jumped
and snapped. The next person had said Brutus
was frothing at the mouth Some boys saw Brutus
and threw stones. Brutus ran. MAD dog! Mad
dog!" the boys cried. Brutus was cornered and
shot.
From gossip to scandal is short step, and
heaven help the person thing against whom the
public mind is poisoned.
Successful merchants and manufacturers are
those who realize the mischief that can be created
by They say" These business men, determined
to say the truth themselves, about their own mer-
chandise or service, employ advertising to pro-
tect themselves and the public from half truths,
from falsehoods and from the common garden
variety of ignorance that works havoc among the
very best of intentions.
These merchants and manufacturers are
under no decisions. They know they cannot tell
untruths about their products and get away with
it because there is nothing that will bring ruin
so fast and sure as to turn the bright white light
of publicity on inferior wares or unsatisfactory
service
Advertising forces manufacturers to compete
for your trade and your dollars. It compels the
offering of better merchandise better service fair
prices You can trust the advertisements in this

DeKalb, Illinois, Friday.
Mr. Ellsworth, stricken with the FLU"

and he died from kidney trouble.
Mr. Ellsworth had always been a
great booster of the Little Fork valley,

Out of Existence.

After twenty years of service to the
community, the Ely Mothers Club

the affairs Of this noble organization
were turned over to the Parent Teacher
Association
The ladies who for twenty years have
alleviated distress among the citizens
OF Ely and under whose Offices the
children's clinics have been conducted.
felt that the coming Of the Parent
Teacher organization would carry on
in their stead and that the mainten-
ance OF the Mothers Club would be
but duplication Of effort. hence the
disbanding of the Club.
The work Of the Mothers Club has
been felt in the city. During The war
they were particularly active and the
departing soldier boys were supplied
with necessary items for their welfare.
Many of the less fortunate families In
the city also look back with apprecia-
ton to this organization for the many
favors rendered.

Black Hem0fife Located.

]. A. Cleveland returned Friday from
a business trip to Duluth and Two Har-
bors- Mr.. Cleveland makes his home
in $50 where he is prospecting for iron
ore. He has been prospecting on lands
owned by him for the past year with
results that promise much. His loca-
ton is only short distance from the
Ely-G unflint road near where the
Howard mine is located.
Considerable exploratory work was
done in that section years ago and
several firms were interested. That
there is iron ore in that country has
been demonstrated and probably the
several properties would have been de-
veloped had the demand warranted.
The Cleveland prospect shows ore of
a hgh-grade black hematite which is
claimed to be similar to the Soudan
ore. The extent of the deposit has as
yet not been ascertained.

2,385,000 wage earners and
salaried workers depend on
iron and steel for a livelihood.
Each worker represents a
family of not less than four,
making a total of about $780,
900 American citizens whose
very existence depends on the
iron and steel industry. Ameri-
can steel and iron workers are
paid good wages, about six
times more than European
craftsmen in the same trade.
The American workmen live
well in normal times and have
every comfort. The European
group occupies close to the
lowest rung on the ladder of
living standards.
Now the Democrats, IN their
tariff plank, propose to change
all this. They endorse the
competitive tariff idea. Com
petition means just that word,
whether you compete in the
hundred-yard dash, hammer
throw, or for wages. We
know that foreign steel and
iron manufacturers are not
going to increase their work
ers' wages six times. That's

On This
Occasion
Just . few thoughts by the Editor
On things Material and Immateriai-

In one of the Duluth papers
on Sunday it was announced
that Congressman w. A. Pit.
tenger was ''the only congress
sional candidate from North
eastern Minnesota" The fol
lowing day the paper corrected
the statement by stating that
he was the only Republican
congressional candidate, etc. "
While the item may have been
somewhat ambiguous, in our
opinion it was entirely in place
and that BILL" Pittenger
should be the only candidate
for this high Office in this Sec
ton of the state and that the
electorate should keep this in
mind. To lose sight of this
fact may lose use representa-
ton in the halls of congress at
Washington.
Two weeks ago we printed
the list of nominated candi-
dates for the state to be voted
on at the November election.
g From this end of the state the
foremost among these and the
one we should tie to first was
w. A. Pittenger. Then We
should remember Harold Knut-
son of st. Cloud and c. G. Sell
Wig of Crookston. After giving
these names an X mark, we
should mark all the other Re-
publican nominees from the
top to the bottom including
August A. Anderson, ]. A. A.
Burnquist, Theodore Christen-
son, Ray P. Chase, n. j. Holm
berg and w. |. Nolan.
If it should be your idea to
browse around among the
Democrats-which we do not
recommend-give our old
friend j. P. Coughlin a vote.
j. P. is of the salt of the earth
who has been a fine fellow all
his life and he has faithfully
promised to continue to be a
fine fellow even should he be
elected to a congressional seat.
We advise the Shoemaker to
stick to his last" even in poll
tics, but, should it be the voters
desire to split his ticket, which
he has a right to do in case
he feels that way, we say, re-
member ]. P. Coughlin. He
lives at Waseca where Jim
Moonan came from and Jim
says Coughlin is all right. Jim
knows what he is talking about
in the majority of cases.

Make Way for Youth

WTHILE the Democrats fight for
wv places around the patronage
trough, serious minded and pro-
gressiye Republican leaders of the
state are discussing new deal.
They demand a place in the party
councils for the younger element
which has grown up since the war
and has been doing the hard work
without either reward or oppor-
tunity.
Just as when in 1898 Albert Jere-
miah Beverage, young and enthu-
siastic. astounded the veterans by
grabbing the senatorship and thus
ushered into power his young asso-
ciates, which in turn eliminated in
the Progressive movement of 1912
so do postwar Republicans await
a dynamic leader to point the way
to their political promised land.
The Democratic veterans sur
rendered without any fight to the
younger element of their party in
the 1880 convention and campaign,
for they knew that the old order
was passing.
And because of this wise course,
their party today is one Of youth,
yet one in which the veterans are
welcomed for advice or counsel,
Read the roll of the new leaders
all come from the postwar period:
McNutt, Taggart, Peters, McHale,
Simmons, Swain, Mckinney and
so on and on.

The senator ELECT, Frederick Van
Mugs, is one of the young group,
although he is the veteran politician
and leader in their counsels. For
never has Van Mugs been one of the
old guard. Always he has been
found allied with the progessivism
of the party.
Through the years which have
elapsed since the days of Marshall
and Ralston he has been the link
which bound the old and the new
together and despite the fact that
his political career is of thirty years
vintage, Van Mugs today is num-
bered among the young group and
they look to him for the advice
which, although enthusiastic, is
tempered with sound political wis
dom cleaned by experience.
The Republicans, on the other
hand, are not so fortunate.
Jut as the old bulls of herd
butt back the forward youngster, so
Senator James E. Watson, ex-Gov-
ernor James P. Goodrich and Will H.
Hays constantly have refused to
recognize youth or admit it to their
councils.
So this debacle of week ago,
which must herald change in Re-
publican management, find few if
any Of the party youngsters with
sufficient experience to take charge.

The younger group in Lake county
demands an immediate change of
state committee personnel, new
DEAL"
But they have no one to offer, al
though friends of John Scott of
Gary, First district chairman, and
postwar figure, are proffering him
for an important position, probably
the state Craftsmanship.
Ivan G. Morgan, incumbent chair
man, is determined to hold on and,
under the rules, no reorganization
of the committee can be made un-
til after the primaries of May, 1884.
The present state committee,
however, can change chairmen, but
all of Morgan's efforts will be ex-
tended to thwart such movement.
And many of the younger crowd
feel that they may as we'll suffer
him until 1884, during which time
new leaders can be groomed.
But the situation calls for more
than a shift of chairmen.
And what this is will be discussed
Saturday. in this column.

short wait, and this time Marvin's
call Of Coming in a moment!" gave
them hope.
The murmur Of Cousin Amos
voice stopped abruptly They all
heard an angry exclamation and
then the other mans voice, curt.
brief, emphatic.
Cousin Amos broke in in reply and
then in the middle Of a measured
sentence a door slammed violently
and Pratt appeared at the top Of
the staircase where he stood silent,
breathing little quickly,
Come onl" urged Linda. We're
all ready, Marvin!"
For a moment he did not move.
Then, without answering, he came
downstairs, face set, eyes dropped,
and thrusting clenched hands into
his pockets as he reached the low
err steps.
Whatever" began Linda. Then
common sense stopped her. It was
no business Of hers. Evidently
Marvin was upset, but was doing
his best to conceal it.
The others, stepherded out by
Tom, seemed to notice no difference
in his manner.
You'll ride with me in the fiv-
ver," said Linda, being very cheer
full and gay Tom will take the
others. You're my special guest to-
night"
"Oh-yes?" he answered with
curious infection and followed the
question, after a second, by an
equally strange little laugh. Your
husband permits?"
Don't be goosel" Linda
slammed the door on her side vi
ciously. Marvin, you've better

And you consider yourself safe
