i ‘Sra Raps era Pubjished Every Saturday. By E. C. KILEY. TWO DOLLARS A YEAR IN ADVANCE Entered in the Postoffice at Grand Rapid “Minnesota, as Second-Class Matter, Tue withdrawal of DeLaittre from the legislative contest leaves the fleld clear to Col. Geo, W. Knox. Mr. Knox will prove a strong candidate in Itasca county, where he has many personal as well as political friends. Knox will make a good man in the house for northern Minnesota. ieee In ns opening address of the cam- paign A. L. Cole took a bold stand on questions that are of must vital con- cern to the people of this state, His provouncement as to the proper man- agement of railroads by state legisla- tion and the enforcement of stringent laws, leaves no doubt that Cole is sin- cere in his opposition to the trans- portation trusts, and that, if placed in a position to do so, he will exact justice in behalf of the people, On state development his attitude has Jong been known. He has the inter ests of northern Minnesota at heart. eee D. M. Gunn Addresses the Voters. On another page of this issue of the Ilerald-Review 1s an address to the voters of the Fifty-second senatorial district by Hon. D. M. Gnon, As a candidate for the state senate, Mr. Guon says, he deems it his duty to in- form the electors as to his position on important state issues. This he does in a manner that cannot but at- trret the attention and admiration of who reads it. It is evident from the masterly mauner in which he discusses state issues that Mr. Gunn is one of the best equipped men in northern Minnesota to represent the people in the state ife takes a broad, compre- hensive view of the political questions and presents his opinions in a way that at once makes him aconspicuous figure in the affairs of the state. No liberal-minded voter will read what he has to say without agreeing that the people are fortunate in having an opportunity to send such a man to the senate. There is so much to be accomplisbed in behalf of northern Minnesota at the next session of the legislature that the voters cannot af. ford to send any but the strongest men to represent their vast interests. “Itasca county voters should be a unit for Gunn at the primaries. Itasca county people shculd remember that the opposing candidates have friends who hard in their behalf in the other counties of the district, and that overconfidence some times results disastrously. It should be the aim to make Gunn’s ma- jority overwhelming in this county. ir. > Three prominent representatives ot the proposed new county of Kooch- iching were ip town last week. They are C. W. Stanton, R. S. McDonald and L. H. Slocum, the latter being one of the publishers of the Border Budget. They were frater- nizing with the voters hereabouts and talking over county division matters: They are among the leading citizens of the north county and have been identified with its growth and pros- perity for a number of years. Very naturally they are strong advocates of division and are sanguine of success. ‘There is little reason, in their opinion, to fear defeat of the proposition, The north end will be solidly in favor of it and the same is true of the south end. The two sections favorable to division have a big majority of the votes of the, entire county. There may be some opponents in the central portion of the county who will make considerable noise, but the vote is not there. Grand Rapids and the entre section, wherein may be counted a majority of ‘the votes of the county, 1s as much in favor of division as is International Falls. Here it is a business proposi- ton. We'want roads and need the ‘money’ that will be paid into the county treasury to expend in this te-- ritory. The iron mines will ke every sitizen senate. are working ‘road building possible in the future if/on the Public Ownership ticket for ‘the present empire 1s cut in two. But there will not be enough to spread over the territory lying between here and the Canadian border. There are a multiplicity of reasons why the south end of the county should desire sep- aration from the north end, aad these reasons will make the vote hereof unanimous for the proposed divorce, (TASCA DEMOCRATS IN CONVENTION Delegates Elected to the State Con- vention Last Saturday. UNANIMOUS FOR GOV. JOHNSON Harmony Prevails With the Excep- tion of, Frank F. Price’s With- drawal From the Party—Clair “State Committeeman. At the Democratic convention held at the court house in Grand Rapids last Saturday afternoon there was a liberal attendance of delegates from all sections of the county, and _har- mony prevailed with the exception of ap announcement by Frank F. Price that he would withdsaw from further participation in the battles of the party. During the past two years he had served as secretary of the county committee and was also a member of the state central committee, Mr. Price did not appear to approve of the delegates elected at the primaries, hence his action in withdrawing from affihation with the local Democrats. John Rellis was chosen chairman and Fred A. King secretary of the county committee. A. B, Clair as a member of the state central commit- tee. ‘he tollowing eight delegates and alternates were chosen to repre- sent the Itasca county Democracy at the state convention to be held in Minneapolis on September 4. Delegates—W. V. Kane, Interna tional Yalls; A. 1). Brooks, Deer River; John L. Shellman, Nashwauk; A, B. Clair, Hugh McEwan, John Rellis and Charles P. Doran, Grand Rapids. Alternates—D, T. McPhee, Inter- nauonal Falls; C. M. King, Big Fork; Edward Logan, Nashwauk; Aad A. ‘Tone, Northome; L. W. Huyntley, George Riddell, ‘thomas Wells, Grand Rapids. ‘The following platform was adopted: The Democrats of Itasca County ia county conventivn assembled renew their allegiance to the party of Jefferson, Jackson aud Bryan. We rejoice at the rapid growth of Demo- cratic sentiment throughout the county, state and nation, and hail with delight the many evidences that the star of Democracy is in the ascendancy, We believe that the day of rabid partizan- ship has passed, and that the common people are becoming a unit upon the question of electing to office the best citizens irrespective of party affiliations and usa result such bul- warks of American citizenship as ure Folk, LaFollette and John Johnson are given the reigns of government in the great states of the nation, and that that highest attainment of good citizenship William Jennings Bryan. is recognized as not only the great leader of Democracy but one of the foremost citizens of the world. We believe that much ‘corruption in mat- ters politic would be oblibrated if the United States senators were elected by direct vote of the people, and urge that all good citizeas take up the advocacy of such a measure. We point with pride to the administration of Governor Johuson. On every issue he has allied himself with the interests of the com- mon people, the most recent one being his strenuous labors to force the railroads to ad- just their traffic rates. .Weare as aunit that the judiciary should not be considered in party politics, a.d we t therefore heurtily endorse the candidacy of Hon. W. 8. McClanahan for re-election to the district bench of this judicial district, and sincerely hope thut his election will be made without cppositiou, The Bond Issue Carries. At the special Village election held last Tuesday the proposition to bond the village in the sum of $17,000 was carried by a vote of 60 tu 3. The sen- timent in favor of the issue was so unanimous that a majority of the voters considered it unnecessary to go to the polls to record their endorse- ment of it. The bonds will no doubt be taken by the state board in control of the schol fund of $18,000,000 at 4 per cent. This will enable the village council to take up the outstanding floating indebtedness and thus reduce the rate of interest from 7 to 4 per cent.’ It will also permit of payment of this sumina manner much more convenient to the taxpayers. * In the Fourth District. B. C. Finnegan has filed as a Re- publican for nomination as a candi- date for county commissioner... James Passard has filed on the same ticket for the same office. There is no }comparison between the two men, Finnegan should be nominated. He is a man of good business qualifica- tions. Charles S.

SPLENDIO OPPORTUNITIES OFFERED Pupils ot this Community by Edu- cational Authorities—New De- partments Added—Parents Should Co-operate. The opening of the Grand’ Rapids public schools next Tuesday marks the beginning of a new epoch in the history of the schools of Grand Rap- ids. Each year has seen some ad- vance step taken in the work of the school, each year it has been the en- deavor of the Board of Education to exterid the usefulness of the schools, and this year is no exception in the policy ot the school authorities. In fact this year the eitizens and the Board of Education have seen fit to add such new departments of work that place the schools of Grand Rapids on a par with the best schools of the state. One of the new departments that has_been added to the school 1s the kinder- garten. The work of this department is to prepare the clild for regular work of the grades, and to give him the proper conception of his part in the life of the home, the school and his relations to nature, Lessons learned herewill be an abiding in- ftuence with the child throughout his school life and will not be lost in later years, This work will be organized in the Central School, and will be in charge ot Miss Mary Sommerville, an accomplished kindergartner. Children will be admitted to this department at five years of age, and parents should avail themselves of this opportunity of giving their children the nght start in their school work. ‘The domestic science and manual training departments wil) especially appeal to the young people. ‘The purpose of these departments is to offer the boys and girls a_ practical education in the traimng of all the faculties. By the exercise of both hand and head work the pupil is able to find and to exercise his best powers while obtaining accurate information, in many practical mattérs. “It 18 not, the purpose of the departments to produce mechanics or any other hne of specialists, but it will be the aim to give the pupil that kind of skill in the use of the iand-and head as will en- able him to take up any trade as_ well as profession with greater ease and credit to himself. ally the one great thing that will be accomplished is the making of good and useful citizens, boys who respect the labor of the hand and can use 1t skilllully if necessary, and girls who understand the common duties of the home and are not afriad to perform them. By the addition of these departments it is not the intention to make the high school a comfortable place for triflers. Stud ents will be held to a strict attention to business. ‘Phe same care and atten- tion to details and preparation of work will be demanded of manual training students as of the regular academic students. ‘The departments will, how- ever, give the student who has no special aptitude for the purely classi- cal an opportunity to develope along those lmes more in keeping with his abilities, and for such as these manual training will prove to be a great bless- ing. The manual training department wil be in charge of Mr. Milton Wil- der, who has taken a thorough course in manual training, and is recommend- ed strongly for the work he is to do. In the domestic science department the girls will receive a complete course ot sewing and cooking, and thorough instructions in the value of different foods, and fabrics. In connection with this work the artistic side will not be forgotten. Miss Mary Bossard will have this work ia charge. Miss Bossard 1s a graduate of Downer Col- lege of Milwaukee, and is fully pre- pared to do the work required of her here. ‘Yo the high school student who 1s especialy interested in art, will be given an Opportunity tor study in that line. Regular art mstruction will be given in the high school 10 such as! select the work, and proper credit will be given in it toward graduation. Miss Rhetta Bennett will have charge of the drawiug and music departments, and her experience and preparation makes her success assured. The commercial department will continue this year. Students who started in short-hand last year will be given an opportnaity to perfect them- selves this year, In the commercial department the following su jects will be offered. Business, correspondenee, bookkeeding, commercial law, short- hand and type-writing. The school Savings bank will be open for deposits Monday, Sept, r1th. ‘This feature of the school begun last % port of all wit fh ollars are now on deposit in the children, and this amount should be] w.a.Brown.. doubled during the coming year. schools will open in all departments. ames of the Grand Rapids school | irs, Amy Vehas.
