The first edition of the Inde- pendent under the new management is full of well-written news of local interest. Contrary to the statement recently made in the Bemidji Sentinel that the Pioneer is the “only paper on earth that has a word to say against F. A. ‘Wilson,” a candidate for the state i senate, we find the Spooner News, Bemidji Independent, International Falls Journal and International Falls || Press and several others, all pub- lished in the district he wishes to |} represent in the legislature, open in their support of Leonard H. Nord, of the border city. After fourteen years as postmaster at Brainerd, N. H. Ingersoll has turn- ed over the duties of that office to|§ Henry P. Dunn, who was recently appointed to the position.

For the most part this is due to sheer neglect. Every editor knows the value of organization and preaches it to other people. He fails to realize that his backing and his $2 a year would help to make the state body stronger and more ef- ficient. The influence of a united association would be tremendous. Each member would profit propor- tionately.—Wheelock’s Weekly. LITTLE COUNTRY THEATER FOR RURAL SCHOOLS. Plan to Stimulate Interest In Whole- some Drama and Entertainments.

The stage is thirty feet in width. twenty feet in depth, with o proscenium opening ten feet in height and fifteen feet in width 00 boxes nor balconies. In the auditorium proper the deco rations are plain and simple. The col or scheme is green and gold, the gold predominating.

If this is true in Massachusetts it ought to be no less true in Philadelphia. though in times past the value of the fronting trees bas not appeared to enter very largely into tie appraisement of real estate values. \ ] * This was swhen the tree butcher bad nis way with trees and linemen cut and mangled them at discretion and ditches were allowed to be dug close to their roots to inclose pipes or con- duits of any kind. Street trees are nat secure from these perils yet, though the Fairmount park commission bas taken charge of them in this city, and all others, even the owners. are for- bidden to meddle with them. They have come under the recognition and protection of law, and if their money importance in increasing the value of real estate is also impressed upon property bolders their future is se- cure and their multiplication and pres. ervation will be assured.

Governmeéent by Commission. Government by commission. first car- ried out in the United States. has been hailed as an almost revolutionary step in the science of city administgation. but a step even in advance of this has been conceived by the city of Leeds.

Now the city has delegated its administrative power to an executive committee of seven aldermen, which committee has appointed J. B.
