Tickets, $1.00. The dance given at Hotel Glad- stone last night by the Grand Rapids Orchestra fer the benefft of A. M. Shaw, a cnpple, was well attended, and as a social function it was a splendid success. The kindly sym- pathy which animated the members of the orchestra and *D. W. Doran, the big-hearted proprietor of Grand Rapids’ most popular hosteiry, is commendable, the more so because the beneficiary is deservedly worthy of every aid possible for our people to extend to him. ‘Two years ago he met with an accident while breaking on a logging railway in Wisconsin which deprived him of his right leg, and so injured his left leg that it had to be amputated to save his life. For pearly a year he was confined to his bed, his hfe oftentimes trembling in the balance. His savings of years were exhausted for medical services, and upon his recoyery he found him- self not only penniless but in debt. He ecured a phonograph and set out to ek out and existance and pay his debts, and so zealously has he labored and socarefully has he economized in his hving and traveling expenses that upon his arriva! here he found himself free of debt. But the little machine which helped him along the thorny path of life had become almost useless and he was in sore _ straits, But his line had fallen in a pleasant place, for when his plight reached the ears of Will Nesbitt that gentle- man immediately “staked”? Mr. Shaw toa new phonograph. He has since been making a tour of the lumber camps, meeting with a generous treatment at the hands of the gemal lumberjacks.. The orchestra lent a helping hand to the ynfortunate crip- ple last night, and their benefit dance netted My, Shaw about $35. This amount comes to Shaw with heartfelt appreciation, and will do much to- ward consummating his-ambttion to secure himself a pair of: artificial legs and establish himself in some small business Truly those who extend him a helping hand ‘can say--‘it is money weil spent” oa George Lydick and A. J. Dwyer, the Cass Lake lumbermen, were in town today. They report logging operations progressing satisfactorily with good prospects ahead. ; Story of the Magnet’s Whine. The general public of this commu- nity must be well-mgh exhausted of its patience with the perpetual drul- ings of the juvenile, publication of which young Mr. Fredie Stevens is the irresponsible head and tail. Not that anything he might attempt to have said in his paper or leave un- said weighs upon the public mind, be- yond an irritable effect accompanied with pity and contempt, but like the itch, the thing is becoming unbearably disgusting and is resolving itself into | a general nuisance that should receive attention from the health officer. The first page of that salivating sheet this week 1s largely yiven to an attempted criticism of the new board of county commissiuners, the auditor, and in fact everything Democratic or Popu- listic and not favorable to hberal con- tributions of public funds to the ex- chequer of the Magnet. Many years of experience in the newspaper busi- ness has brought the Herald-Review man in contact witha great many upstart publishers of puppy papers, but it remained for Grand Rapids to produce the most remarkable speci- men of perverted viciousness and narrow-minded meaness that it has ever been our lot to know. * * * It is within the legitimate province of the legitimate newspaper to discuss public subjects and to comment upon the acts of public officials; it is also proper for the publisher to advance his own business aftairs_ by ail honor- able means that his ability and sagaci- ty may suggest. ‘Phe Herald-Review admires the successful publisher in op- position to itself just as much as it ad- mires the progressive drv goods or grocery man, and would much prefer to speak a kindly word of its conteu,por- ary than to hurl invective at his jack- pine head. Without assuming undue charitableness or an overdose of self- righteousness, the reason for our averson to newspaper personalities and public discussion of the publish ers’ private business affairs should be glaringly apparent to every reader. ‘The business of the country news- paper is much the same as that of the average retail merchant in a retail town. Imagine, if you please, the merchants of Grand Rapids using space in the local press devoted to vilhfying each other—each prociaim- ing in conspicuous display lines that the other ys a fool, vagabond and fraud, engaged exclusively in a con- tinuous effort to sell warthless goods at enormously exorbitant pmices, and alot more similar rot. Would it not soon disgust the average reader end drive trade to other markets? Cer- tainly it would. ‘ihe inevitable out- come would be the bankrupting of every man adopting such methods, while the litigants would individually be stamped by a discerning consttu- ency as a parcel cf consummate asses. The same is true of the néwspaper. But when it so happens that an irre- sponsible, incompetent and viciously inclined person secures possession of some type and an old press and sces fit to slander and deliberately misrep- resent all who fail to comply with his demands for patronage and who may have the temerity to disagree with his peculiar political vagaries, it then be- comes the duty of such authorities as the Herald-Review to prescribe the proper remedy and continue adminis- tration of the dose until such time as the pestiferous nuisance is abated or removed to other fields. ee The Magnet upbraids the commis sioners and misrepresents their official acts in“ every particular instance to which it makes reference. It is known to every tax-payer in the county that Mr. Wilder’s action in retaining his position on the board is sustained by decisions of the supreme court and by the opinions of a number of promi- nent attorneys in this state whose le gal attainments entitle them to con- sideration from even so eminent and profound a personage as F. J. Stevens, Senator McCarthy, then county at- torney, was very pronounced last fall in the opinion that redistricting the county inno manner effected the of- fice held by Mr. Wilder. Qur pres- ent county attorney, J. R. Donohue and Attorney F, F. Price were con- sulted on the subject and atter consid- erable research they agreed with Mr. McCarthy and others. After the Re- sition that was not and would not be vacant for two years and Myers hay- ing declared his intention to make the ryn it hecame apparent that litigation would follow should the latter be elected. Mr. Wilder was urged by many ofthe largest taxpayers in the county to permit his name to be placed upon the official ballot and thus obviate the necessity af a legal contest that might interfere with ur- gent county business. The splendid record he had made created the gen- eral. impression, without regard to politics, that Commissioner Wilder would be reindorsed. If it is true, and it appears to be so, that the seat on the bord now held by Wilder can only be taken by another through the resignation of the present commuission- er, it would then devolye upon the ; two township chairmen in the Rainy | Lake'section to. fill the vacancy. It publicans nominated Myers for a po- } is estimated that the yearly expense attached to this solution of the prob- lem would amount to $1,500, as the great distance and time consumed in travel would keep the member from that section on the go from one Janu- ary.to the other-if he only attended twelve meetings annually. ee ® The Magnet forgut to state why it was that Wilder was not endorsed at the late election. ‘he Heraid-Review will tell you: He was an active mem- ber of the poard during tha past year in securing a re-assessment of pinc lands of the county and was largely instrumental in adding half a million dollars to the assessed vatuation there- of. His activity in this respect was not pleasing to many of the lumber barons who have so long escaped tax- ation and it was through this instu- mentality—because of Wilder's fidelity to the interests of Itasca county—that he was deteated by the the alien and largely illegal lumber camp vote, It was the votes of men who had no in- terestsin the county that made his defeat possible. Ani yet the Magnet has the brainless andacity to prate of honesty and the pubiic weal. Mr. Wilder has been a Itle-long Democrat and two years ago was elected fora term of four years as such, yet a year ago he voted for the Magnet on county printing, and up to very re- cently that paper had none but words of praise for his every official act. If the present board had awarded the printing to the Magnet that paper would again have endorsed the com- missioners with fulsome flattery and sung their praises in loud and lusty language, without regard to whatever else that body might do, and our wild and wooly contemporary, would have no partisan scrupies in do:ng so- County printing was what the Mage | net wanted and it got—left. We have | presented the facts relative to the po- sition of Mr. Wilder, and are willing to abide by the decision of the s preme court which will be rendered ina few days. * * * We find in the Magnet the untrue statement that Auditor Farrell had been appoined purchasing agent of the county. A committee of three copmussioners were delegated to per- form that duiy, We find among some rther nonsensical assertions 1n the artical referred to that some bad Democrat tried to persuade a Repub- } lican commissioner to become a Bour- bon and with the. Bourbons stand. Give us the commisstoner’s name and | the rascally seduce who would thus break the spinal column of the Re- publican party. Again we are in forined that the Herald-Review Is E. C, Kiley Prove not a legal publication. has made affidavit that 1t is, the contrary and send ‘the sca the penitentiary. The Magnet sates that auditor Farrell received a telegram from the attorney general instructing him to recognize Myers as a member of the board. The tele- gram in question was received after the commissioners had adjourned at | 6:30 p, m. . An alleged quotation from Mr. Wilder is another adroit attempt at misrepresentation. Mr, Wilder did call the Magnet boy down for presenting a bill which the | commissioners considered exorbitant, bnt a far different construction would be conveyed. Just one thing the Magnet says with which we heartily | agree—its inability to find language | in which to express what it thinks it | thinks.
