Official Paper of Itasca County and the Village of Grand Rapids. So FAR as we have been able to discover there are only two papers in the Sixth district that have the tripple distilled gall to defend Page Morris for his vote on the Puerto Rican bill— the Duluth News Tribune and the St. Cloud Journal Press. These two worthies applauded when Morris voted for the iniquitous measure, and they must have felt decidedly s‘:eepish when the little chap explained that he did so because he had not the moral stamina to do what he knew was right. Ifthe N. T. and the J. P. are so saturated with Republicanism that they must support the party whatever it does, they should either send a man to congress who can tell pretty near where he is at from the start, or they should give the present member more guesses before defending his position. They cannot tell when an apologetic explanation may be forthcoming that will make them look ridiculous, ——_>_—_—_ AFTER the remarkable statement that one of the Herald-Review editors displays “an exaggerated idea of self- importance that again denotes a morbid state of mind,” the Cass Lake Voice invites the said editor to ‘ come up to Cass Lake and find out how tranquil the population is.” It will not be necessary to go up to Cass Lake to find out who edited the Voice last week. His full name is A. G. Bernard — commonly known _here- abouts as the Moose. Tom Graham, the Voice editor, could never make us belheve that he wrote of “an ex- aggerated idea of self-importance” be- ing an index to morbidity. When Graham writes he has something to say and he says it in plain English that cannot be misunderstood. But not so with the Moose. He throws together a job-lot of words and takes chances on the printer supplying ideas and arranging them in intelli- gible form. Sometimes the printer succeeds and sometimes he doesn’t. In this instance he evidently failed, piling ies SE We cannor help but sympathise with the citizens of some of our neigh- boring towns who possess such hair- trigger temperaments that a little thing hke a village election makes them lose their tempers, their manners and some other things that it 1s much better to retain at all times, Reports from Deer River, Cass Lake, Hibbing and other nearby places are to the effect that more or less of a hot time was had on Tuesday. ‘These young- sters should pattern after their older sister. Here the people went to a caucus on Monday evening, picked out the best men available, nominated them by acclamation and then went to bed. On Tuesday they walked to the polls, voted for the men they had nominated and went about their busi- ness, No fights, no arrests, no excite- ment, no ill feelings. And we’ll bet a four dollar pup that we have the best business council in the bunch at that. BERL ne Gs ek RECAUsE we love to see people en- joy absolute freedom and liberty, we shoot them down it they do not ac- cept us as their masters and leave their affairs of government in our hands; because, as a great, enlighten- ed nation we are anxious to labor for the amelioration of mankind and the glory of God, we sacrifice thousands of human beings to the end that our trade in the Orient may be increased; because we wish to see the lands we have forceable taken possession of prosper we discriminate against their proucts by high tariffs, thus discourag- ing industry and making production unprofitable; because we wish to see Tuis world is full of disappoint- ments for the laboringman, No sooner is he able to procure a little something to put into that empty dinner pail we heard so much about a few years ago than the trusts boost the price of pails to such a figure that he has to go on short rations to get one. Tue Minnesota congressional ag- gregation is dreadfully out of tune, and as it is too late to commence rehearsing now there will be some im- portant changes in the cast when the next season opens. ———+0+-__ SECRETARY OF SraTE Hay must be losing his grip on the administration.

TO THE PEOPLE OF CASS: Since handing your county superin- tendent of schools and publisher of the Walker Pilot and Cass Lake Voice his ticket-of-leave from Grand Rapids and Itasca county some three and a half years ago, the Herald-Review has neglected to advise you of the true character of the individual, and therefor we now make humble apology. A little later in the season, when politics begin to ripen and the hoary old villian begins to make him- self obnoxious, we will take occasion to give his history and portray his despicable traits of character in a con- cise and truthful manner. ‘These statements and criticisms will be given ample ‘circulation among the constituents of the Moose throughout Cass county, That such aman with such a record is permitted to preside at the head of a county’s public schools is a burning disgrace from the effects of which the people of our neighbor county will not soon re- cover. In the Herald-Review of March 3, mention was made of the selection of Anthony McAlpine as one of the judges of election at Cass Lake, not- withstanding he was chairman of the board of supervisors of this township. The idea struck us as a bit of a joke on the Cass Lake fellows and we typed a brief jolly on the ludicrous- ness of the situation. The mistake of the village council was in no wise a serious one—in fact it did not make a particle of difference. No sane per- son would construe it as an attempt to violate any law. In the same issue the Herald-Review advocated the re- election of Mr. McAlpine to his pres- ent position and gave many good reasons why he should be retained as chairman of the town board; so there was no chance to construe our refer- ence to the Cass Lake incident as a reflection upon him or upon anybody else. Mr. McAlpine is well known to be an honorable and upright towns- man why is worthy of every confi- dence that may be reposed in him. The Herald-Review knows Cass Lake to be. an enterprising, progressive peace reign in these lands we in- augurate policies toward them that give the inhabitants excuses for anar- chy and insurrection. For all.this, the Republican party be praised. It is a glorious institution. Se ehek ne “I pipn’r foliow my own con- victions nor the wishes of my con- stituents because to do so would con- flict with the interests of the trusts to which my party is under obligations,” is the way Page Morris’ explanation of his vote on the Puerto Rican bill sounds to the people of this district. town, made up of a first-class lot of citizens who are doing just as we do in Grand Rapids: everything possible in a legitimate way to build up a pros- perous, healthful community. ‘The leading business men of the town were supplied by Grand Rapids. We rejoice in their prosperity and in turn they are our friends. No paper in this section of the state has spoken more friendly words in behalt of Cass Lake than has the Herald-Review, and we hope to see the place grow big and rich and good. But it re- mained for the elongated Moose of the Voice to discover that this paper had maligned the division town and had traduced and insulted Mr, Mc- Alpine. Fortunately, however, that gentleman is well acquainted with’the aforesaid elongation and only laughed at the contemptible effort to creat en- mity among friends. The Moose had another object in view when he dared to refer to this great moral elevator in other than complimentary terms. The editor the Voice is Thomas Graham, a bright, intelligent newspaper man who weilds a very trenchant pencil. Atter starting up a newspaper row the Moose hoped to sneak away from the responsibility and escape a just retribution. But when Bernard at- tempts to write anything and gets it in print it is as as easily detected as the | nose on his face. And, by the way, when the Voice refers to us personally we would like a copy of it. 1 ANOTHER REPUBLICAN VIEW.4 The Marquette (Mich.) Mining Jour- nal, one of the most widely circulated and influential Republican papers in the state of Michigan, makes the following comment on the pro-British meeting recently held in Minneapolis: “At a pro-British meeting held at Minneapolis the other night one of the speakers was the British vice-con- sul at St. Paul, E. H. Morphy, who, in the course of his remarks, made an insulting attack on Governor Lind of Minnesota, whom he characterized as a “blatant politician” who professed sympathy with the Boers for the sake of winning votes. Morphy is being severely criticized for his breach of decorum in ascailing the governor of the state, but he says he is an Amen- can citizen and free to air his views at his pleasure, and that he is only in- cidentally attending to the duties of the consular office in his charge. His chief should find another substitute as speedily as possible, as Mr. Morphy lacks the tact requisite to qualify him for the place he holds. Governor Lind is a Swede, and as the Scandi- navians very generally sympathize with the Boers there is no occasion to assume that in expressing himself as favoring the Boer cause he was fish- ing tor votes.” Pasi id is Subscribe for the Herald-Review. i anes Somewhat Mixed. The Barnum Gazette tells the fy!- lowing on D. C. Anderson of the Carlton Vidette, who has recently been appointed judge of probate of his county: It is reported that as Judge Anderson was sitting in his new office in the court house at Carlton, wondering how it happened that Tom Halliday would shave a gold bug so neatly, a rap came upon the office door, and there stood an old lady who asked: “Is this the reprobate court?” She was informed thatit was the probate court. She stepped into the office, took a seat and said: “I pre- sume that this is the place, and ye see my father died detested and he left a lot of little infidels, and I want to be their exe- cutioner.” Groundless and Foolish. Grand Rapids Magnet: “The Cass Lake Voice of last week, in a half column article, takes the Herald-Review of this place to task for as the Voice considers them, mak- iug libelous statements regarding one of our prominent citizens, A. McAlpine. While our opinion on the matter has not been asked, we must say that we consider the Voice article without foundation and the writer thereof a d—n fool.” Good Looks—Bad FoUter comes to our e Seas table, as bad as ever. Never- speaking, t but its poli theless we wish Bros. Kiley & Austed success in this world and when they shall have laid down their “forms” in the great “press- room” that a good, clear “impression” may be had without a “blur” upon them.—Bar- num Gazette.
