OFFIOIAL COUNTY AND CITY PROCHMDINGS ¢ NEWSPAPERDOM LOSES NOTED MEMBER." % That mystic call of “30” has been heard in Minnesota once more, and the Great Editor wrote it-at-the end of the book of « life of William J. Murphy, owner and publisher of the Minne- apolis Tribune, while he was in Chicago.c"And another of the best known editors in the United States laid-down his pen-and Minnesota lost one of its best friends and one of its prime fac- tors in its progress. The Tribune, in vein similar to the New- York Sun when the great Charles A. Dama “carried on,” wrote a simple ‘an- nouncement of the death of the owner of the splendid pub- lication, four short lines only, directly announcing the fact. And it will be the newspapers of the state that will tell of the virtues of their loved brother craftsman. In the days of hand composition, before the advent of modern typesetting machines and the perfecting presses, when morning newspapers observed the “dead line” at 2:30 o’clock, would come the call from the back shop of “2:30 o’clock,” meaning the last of the copy should be in. It became shortened to ““30” and meant the last, when written at the bottom of the final article written for the issue, and the mystic figures in news- paper parlance means “the last.” W. J. Murphy took up his newspaper labors in Minnesota in 1891 when he became the owner of the Tribune. Under his guidance the-paper grew in size and prestiage, ranking with the best in the country. It became a power in all that affected the upbuilding of the city of Minneapolis, the entire state of Minnesota and the great northwest. His sense of honor was the highest and he spoke fearlessly when. fearlessness and fairness were the best interests his constituency demanded. He had been an influential tpersonage for years in Minnesota, a newspaper man of the type of which there are few, and the firmament has lost one of most distinguished stellar lights. gt % ! ONE REMEDY TO CORRECT INJUSTICE: (Minneapolis - Tribune.) With four times as much wealth as the Solid South, the rest of the country pays nine times as much income tax—that is . more than twice as much on each dollar’s worth. Is this one of the president’s reconstruction polices the Democratic candidate for congress wants to help the Southern Democrats keep saddled on his Northern constituents? There is no remedy for this rank injustice, due to Democratic politics, but a Republican congress by which this section of the country, which pays the taxes, will have something to say about how they are expended. SEIRNRE SR, GOT TO GIVE IT TO THOSE REDBY FOLKS. If some: enerprising photographer could get the inhabitants of Redby and vicinity in a group and take their picture it would be one of the most interesting views in existance. Red- by, small in size, making no claims to distinction on that score, is the livest spot in this part of the state. It is this little group of patriots that have met its Liberty Loan quotas and came through in everything else that has been started in war activi- ties, has a live wire Red Cross and in the last Liberty Loan quota, with an allotment of $1,000, shot away over that and reported over $8,000. Then on top of that everybody got busy and contributed a handsome sum to the Pioneer fund for the stricken forest fire vicitims. bbb WE DOUBT LEGALITY OF MOVE. - Secretary Daniels -of the navy department is issuing an appeal to the voters of Michigan to send Henry Ford to the U. S. senate, the advocacy of Ford being based upon his fac- tory production of war products. We would like to ask Secre- tary Daniels if it would be legal for a United States senator or other government official to have contracts with the govern- ment and wouldn’t a senator vote and have influence on measures wherein it might be fattening to his bankroll? B 007 We have a sneaking idea that if it hadn’t been for repu- lican members of the senate and congress news of some of those rotten contracts and deals which squandered millions of the people’s money would have been smothered. At least they wouldn’t have been made public by Creel’s million dollar misinformation publicity bureau, that the Liberty Loan bond buyers are supporting. . i If we couldn’t have the endorsement of the general public we’ll be doggoned if we'd beg for it. A man receives what he’s entitled to from all classes of people and it should make no difference whether they are rich or poor, or their nationalty, nor to what church they belong or what their political faith. i SRR . .~ The Grand Rapids Hearld-Review contains an article which advises its inhabitants to eat sand from the shores of Pokegama lake for its curative qualities. Bemidji people don’t have to go to the lake to obtaina supply. Bemidji folks have enough “sand” without having to dig for it. —— e ——— . In other words, if a candidate for the national legislature is a republican, he is not welcome at Washington. If he hap- pens to be a deinocrat, no matter what his record, he will be re- ceived with open arms. Just so it is a democrat with the name branded on the hide is what is wanted. e AT s < Republicans and hundreds of thousands more not carry- mg.the democratic label are helping pay for the war to defend tpelr country and have sons in the army yet they are not con- sidered by the powers that be, desirable to sit in the councils of the nation., - H,H + + | POLITICAL ADVERTISING.
