Terms. $2 Per Year, in Advance BOOZE and the white plague afe the twin curses of humanity in this age. NEW buildings, new business, new life for Virginia the coming season. And not least of all, a new mill. PERHAPS "any old thing" cannot skin the Hibhing basket ball team, but there can be no question of the ability of the Virginia bunch to do the job. One reason—the Virginia boys are not cigarette or narcotic tiends. EDITOR PERHAM, of the JEveleth News, has acquired both the con gratulations and the envy of the range press gang by becoming the proud papa of a bouncing 'gii"l. Don't coat near so much as a Mer ganthaler type-setting machine but possessed of far more intrinsic value. THE tonnage tax fight has not been won, but if it is put up to Governor Johnson his action wsill be awaited with interest -'Bid Robert ^C. Dunn occupy the .ex ecutive chair his position 'would be known, for in his 'Princeton ''Union he openly supports the tonnage tax proposition. A will play billiards half the QighV and pay 25 cents a .game and drink 15 cent whiskey without,ex-' pecting any part.-in-.i the 3 vinto manage ment of the saloon But if jie .pays $2.00 per year for a newSpa'pef-^-or^ even if he gets it on. the dead-beat list—he thinks he ought to have 8ome£h|pg to say as'to its policy. THE resignation of Senator John C. Spooner creates an 'bppd'ftunity for the. Wisconsin legislators'' tof cut in on an unexpected piiece of pie. And with Ike Stevenson in the field as Senator Spooner's successor the pie will be carved, .you bet. But it would certainly be a travesty on American statesmanship to elect a United States senator who can not read or write his own name. IF the cuss who swiped the mod est sum of $173,000 in good American cash from the sub-treasury in Chicago would only make a proper "divy" we wouldn't give a con tinental if he was never found o,ut. Our idea of. propetf^'divy^'ijQ^j* ever, might not coiricide ^witfr tlte' modest ideias of a 'man who would' confine his theft to a few Paltry, $10,000 bank notes when there werfe hundreds of them laying loose in" the same drawer. TEOFILO PETRIEIXA is the ti^ma: carried by one of the candidates^ for the village, presidency at Hib bing, and from the call for a meeting at the Power Theatre on Sunday afternoon Jast. it would fap-. pear he based his claims tp the: honor on conmendable principles. He states that "in the last ten days from all over the state, have lleen pouring Hibbtng scored of grafters and boodlers, pimps jand gamblers whom hecba^aet-rizfesas the vote swindlers on election day, and says /'the girl exploiters and midnight sluggers must get oiit of Hibbing." In such a case, however, Virginia is in easy walking distance and while we don't need any more of that class we presume they would be immune from deportation. Tonnage Tax Sounds Good to Grangers An advance guard of range repre sentatives comprising County Com missioners Mclnnis, Kauppi, Sun deen and Tischer, Superintendent of Schools Newberry of Ely, Mayor Jesmore and P. E. Dowling of Ever leth were St. Paul visitors the first of the week, trying out the legisla tors on their position in the impend ing tonnage tax measure. But their report, as do all other reports emanating from the state capitol, bears no ray of hope to the iron ranges. The phrase "tonnage tax" and the prospect of getting something for nothing sounds and looks good to the granger, and the members of the legislature from the farm sections will hardly dare thwart the desires of their constit uents unless they are men who put principle above their job—and such men are scarce in American poli tics, in the entire gamut from poundmaster to president. It is therefore probable that the tonnage tax in some form will re ceiye bounteous support from the southern Minnesota politicians and that a strenuous fight is the only hope for the defeat of a measure destined to work untold harm to the schools and communities of the iron ranges.
