Grand HRepits Werata-tReview Pubilshed Every Saturday. By E. C. KILEY. TW? DOLLARS A YEAR IN ADVANCE Entered in the Postoffice at Grand Rapids, t Minnesota, as Second-Class Matter : BETTER MEN ,WOULD DO. It is apparent from the tone of:cer- tain Republican papers throughout this legislative district. that théy are quite prepared toad vocate the nomina- tion and election of abler men than have been representing the people in recent yearsatSt. Paul. Those papers that haye not openly pronounced for a change are non-committal and are evidently prepared to take up the tight and do battle against the bosses. The following is from the Cloquet Pine Knot: The newspapers of Itasca coun- ty are insistent in the demand that that county be given one of the representatives from this dis- trict in the next state legislature. $. Swanson, of this county, and A. L. Cole, of Cass county are the present representatives and both are candidates for re-election. ‘The newspaper sentiment in Itasca county seems vo be that Mr. Cole is the man who should be turned down. With this idea in view F, EF. Seaman, of Deer River; Editor Greely, of the Big Forks Compass, and one or two Grand Rapids men are being urged for Mr.Cule’s seat. Viewed from this distance it looks probable that, unless Itasca unites on one candidate, they will be unable to land the coveted position this year. Says the Barnum Gazette in an edi- torial last week: As the situation now stands, the legislative material in the field in this district, consists of Hon. 8. Swanson of Carlton coun- ty, Hon, A. L. Cole of Cass county and F, KF, Seaman of Ltas- ca county. It isa little early to decide on the strength of any of the candidates but a warm fight may be expected. This sentiment expressed by the Ait- kin Republican indicates that Seiver Swanson is not regarded in some quarters politicalonecessity, and the Republican, at least, would bave no fearof the result in handing him a turn down: Seiver Swanson of Moose Lake is a candidate for re-election and lieretofore there has been no dis- position on anybody’s part to in- terfere with his efforts to succeed himself, but there are other legis- Jative candidates, and if the Hon. Swanson doesn’t change his tace tics he is liable to pass into politi- cal blivion. We understand he is plugging against Dunn. Mr. Dunn is the logical candidate of this section of the state and if Mr. Swanson persists in holding vo his present line of action, Mr. Dunn's friends are likely to get busy and make him think he has iroubies enough of his own with- out getting perniciously active against a candidate for governor who is the choice of nine-tenths of the people of the district. The Grand Rapids Magnet also threatens Mr. Swanson with political anihilation if he doesn’t do as he ig bid to do. The Herald-Review dvesn’t care a copper who the Republicans nominate for governor, but it is very much interested in the candidates for the legislature of all parties and it is pleased to see the district papers laking an independent stand in ex- pressing Uheir opinions. It is abso- lutly in their power to control the situation if they will but do it. oe THEY FEAR HEARST, William R. Hearst is the man of re- markable brilliancy of intellect and the things Me accomplishes frequently suprise even his most ardent admir- ers. The great journalist’s enemies were fairly reveling in the assertion of Walter Wellman that Hearst wasa imental nonentity and could not write au editorial or make a speech, when Ube other day he arose before an im- portant congressional committee and made a speech of an hour iu length, which, for brilliancy, force and cut- ting sarcasm, has not often been sur- passed at this or previous sessions of CONErESS. He arrainged President Roosevelt and Attorney General Knox ina most scathing manner for failing to prose- cute the giant coal trust after having ample evidence to convict. placed in their hands over eighteen months ago. | | ‘To further make delay in the mat- ter dangerous for the administration, Mr. Hearst has made complaint direct against the. Reading railroad, the backbone of the trust, and placed the sume in the hands of Atturney Gen. Kuox. Itis said that if this official now refuses to act he will ve liabie to impeachment, : Hearst is the man who does things —aud he can mak a speech!—Martin County Sentinal sa a SRE PARKER canuot be the Democratic presidential nominee and those who have been booming thought so at any time. [t is another Palmer and Buckner scheme, caleu- lated to make kepublican assurance doutly sure. Towne looks good to the Alerald-Review, AN APOLOGY. The Sabbath apd the Herald-Re- view’s head came mighty near being broken at the same time last Sunday afternoon as we leasurly sauntered down Leland avenue. As the editor of this mild-mannered publication ap- proached the Pokegama cornor he was accosted by Editor Kelly of the | Independent who enquired if we were not afraid of being killed. Upon be- ing assurcd that we were not, he pro- ceeded to promise us a severe licking the next time he was assulted by the Herald-Review. He spoke in a men- acing tune; his eyes snapped and his frame shook as if he were afflicted with cold feet. He held in his right hand a club that ‘would weigh about five pounds and we could not refrain from:cadsually remarking that he’d look comical perched upon the end of it. The irate editor permitted us to pass on after giving us fair warn- ing of the terrible results that would surely follow anotber attack. We sincerely hope that it may never be necessary fur him to put his threat into execution, because we rather imagine that a licking is not a desirable asset_ for an editor to schedule among his possessions. In the past we have endeavored to treat as mildly as the exigencies of the cir- cumstances would premit in discus- sing public questions iu which Brother Kelly appeared to be interested. If we have vfferded him he must charge it to oversensitiveness, uot to the eruelty of our pen. Whatever the cause und the consequefices, however, the policy of the Herald-Review will not be changed to uccommmodate Mr. Kelly or anybody else, and if he can’t stand our way of telling facts with forensic force he’ll have to retire from the journalistic arena hereabguts and cutine his talents to méasuring logs and reporting to the boom ccm- pavy. —- HURRAH FOR BENA. The Herald-Review was not in the least surprised when it was wired from Washington on Monday last that Bena’s rights in the townsite contest has been recognized by the federal! officials. To have ruled other- wise would have been rank injustice As has been repeatedly stated in these columns, it was only necessary to present the actual facts to the de- partment in order to knock Richards out. This has been done aud we will hear very little more of Richards. ‘The Cass Lake Vvice will appear this week with another pitible wail, and that will be about the last rooting for Richards. Charley Tedford has our sympathy. He was worked wost uumercifully by the gang, It is to be hoped that his exyerience will serve as a valuable lesson in the future. Ave, Bena! Se cs THE St. Cloud Journal-Press is not consistent. It finds that Judge Park- er of New York is without a record. Judge Parker has been on the supreme bench of the Empire state for a number of years and is one of the most eminent jurists in the United States. If that doesn’t suit the J. P., by what method of reasoning does it find Judge Collins’ record to be suf- ficient? Collins has never been any- thing but a judge of the court. EEE SET Ea cs Tue Itasca News makes this bold declaration: ‘ If the Republican party selects its legislative candidate from Cass county again this year, the! 52nd district is going’ to defeat him and the News will support the Itasca county candidate even if he is a popu- list with green Whiskers.” —+0+ Dip you notice the result of the St. Paul election? Well, there’s no use rubbing 11 in. Who’s the fire warden? We'll be here again next week. The board of health is all right and nobody sick. if Attorney Price doesn’t keep away from here there’ll be trouble. John Nelson isn’t slow in his man- agement of the Bass Brook hotel. Dunn & Marcia had about ten tons of hay burned up river last week. If Carl Nelson of this place doesn’t get his paper, heoughtto. He payed for it. Don’t “squat” on the reservation. The squaws have been doing that all the time, D. A. Dunn took in the Twin Cities and also the Zenith City of the unsalt- ed seas last week. ~ Why don’t our village council en- force the heard law? Our town looks like a stock farm at times, Our street commissioner, McMan- nis, is doing some needed street work in the west part of our village, ‘The only way you can understand how Jno, Nelson.is fixing up the Bass Brook hotei is to go see for yourself, A trip up the river is invigorating to beat all, especially when you have to sleep on the bow of a cratt, these mornings. W. W. Fletcher, a business looking sort of a fellow, and Hawkins of the: Duluth Brewing company, were here last week. The air is full of rumors among the many that J, M. Stackhouse will be the boss push of tlie Northwest Tim- ber Supply company after May 3, 1904. H. H. Carrier will move his store and the postoftice to those lots be- tween Skelly Bros. and Thomas Mc- hugh’s store where he will‘be found hereafter. Although Tom Brown had been to Cuba and the Phillipines as a “soger” a common every day Chippewa birch- bark canoe introduced him to the water, just the same. Next week a local justice of the peace is going to ishu a kopy ofa coppy of a common complaint uv a complaintitive in a complaintave ac- tion in a complaintion complaint. At the pleasant home of Mr. and Mrs, O’Brien last Saturday evening. a) basket social was given by ladies of St. Joseph’s Catholic churcn of Grand Rapids. Quite a large number of visitors were present from the county capitol, having driven up in the even- ing. Cards were played by the guests until about eleven o’clock, when Auc- tioneer A. B. Clair of Grand Rapids began the sale of baskets’ ‘The bid- ding was lively, the prices paid aver- aging from $1.00 to $2.50. ‘The de- cious lunches found in the barkets were well worth the prices paid, ladies netted $56.20 for the church. Eight or ten young ladies took a notion into their heads last Sunday— having a foot ball—that they would venture to a couple of hours out door exercise with said foot ball. Fora tew seconds ’twas a question who or which of them would start the ball a rollin’. One of them finaly grabbed itand tossed the sphere. ‘Then the scramble began. The next hour and and a half was a mixture of hand ball. basket-ball, foot-ball and base-ball, During the preformance one of the participants did actualy kick 131% in- ches high. If -she had not landed on that ball we don’t know how much higher she could ’ve kicked, or what the outlock would be. THE DARK IRON him have \not : “EMPIRB” | Seven Years Old, Weighs 1,70 pounds.
