Recognized by Everybody as the Leading Weekly Newspaper of Northeastern Minnesota. —_——_———— Wuite the proposition stands every citizen of Itasca county should take idvantage of the opportunity to get the Herald-Review one year for one dollar. FRANK A. Day, head of Governor Jobnson’s official cabinet, is one of the proprietors of the Martia County Sentinel, which editorially observes: ‘The Minnesota supreme court has sustained the validity of the so-called wide-open tax amendment and now the legislature and the tax commis- sion can go ahead and make the cor- pcrations bear their just share of the burdens of goyernment.” gee Timip Tony is mad at the Bovey Iron News man because the latter didn’t make a complete monkey of himself by giving a larger amount of space toa “roast” of the Herald-Re- view and the board of county com- concerning the county nissieners printing. Why, bless your tiny intel- ect. Tony, Lammon isa pretty sen- sible sort of chap and knows that the commissioners acted wisely in desig- nating the Herald-Review. 2655, Monty THE MONGREL, of the international Falls Echo, also makes a howl about the disposition of the printing. He even goes so far as to announce that there will be no road building done n Koochiching county during the ear 1909, as a result of not designat- Echo as the official paper. wonderful ecunomie showings are presented by the ratty little fellows who break into the news- paper field in new communities. Na eisai 2 Surv. E. A, FREEMAN of the Grand Rapids public schools ably presents the claims of Grand Rapids in his in this issue of the Herald- Review, relative to the establishment of a school The state should, and no doubt will, establish and 'maintain a school of agriculture in Northeasters Minnesota. Grand. Rapids is the logical place for sucha_ school, in connection with the state Experi- ment Farm. This is a subject for the Commercial club to take up and push to a realization. Senator D. M. Gunn should receive local aid in passing the proposed bill through the egistature. ¢ a ee Tue fact ,that Commissioner O'Brien presented a type-written resolution designating the Herald- Review as the official paper of Itasca county at the annual meeting of the board held January 5, looks suspicious to the Coleraine Optic chap. He ¢)ncludes therefrom that either Mr. O'Brien owos this paper or this paper owns Mr. O’Brien Why, bless his ignorance and monumental stupidity, it is necessary in the tegal transac- sion of such business to designate a paper by resolution, properly worded and as prescribed by the statutes. It is also necessary to have the reso- lution introduced by a member of the It is the common-sense duty Koochiching county ing the Some artic’ place. board. BS i aeteal a é 3 know enough to do so, or he was un: able to induce any member of the board to introduce a resolution for ‘him. The alleged significance of the incident would not have appealed to him were it not for his ignorance of legal and proper proceedure in the transaction of public business. If the Optic ape will clip this sbrief explanation out and preserve it he may be able to properly make appli- cation for county printing a year hence. Rae ge See . THE Northwestern Agriculturalist, published at Minneapolis, does not appear to approve of the appointment of J. W Olson as dean of the state agricultural college. The Agricul- turalist says: ‘‘Proffessor Hays was formerly agronomist of this insti- tution, and as such did such success- work as to bring him into national prominence. He is and will be under President Taft the foremost member of the Government's Agricu)tural Department next to the Secretary of Agriculture. He is big enough, and brainy enough, and _ tactful enough, to hold next to the highest agricultural position in the Govern- ment, yet our regents give preference over him to J. W. Olson who does not know in animal breeding, a Poland- China pig from a polecat, nor in hor- ticulture any method of grafting not political.” pM SO AS SANS THERE’s no use talking or trying to argufy, The inevitable must be faced and dealt with as desperate cases require dealiag with. That county wood-pile on the court house grounds must be forthwith removed —else Timid Tony will be completely overcome with jackpinemania. Every time he passes that way he ‘sees the ghost of the late campaign reaching for his scalp, and thereat he shivers and shies like a frightened fawn. Tony went daffy over that wood-pile during the campaign and in tossing it carelessly about the county he broke the political back of his favor- ite candidate. Now he demands that the commissioners where. hide it some- He does not suggest any par- ticular place to put it, but just in- sists that it be hid from his view. Instead of that horrid wocdpile Tony wants a beauty spot to gaze at, that he may recover from the awful at- tack of jackpinemania. The Herald- Reyiew suggests that the board of county commissioners pass a_ resolu- tion ordering the obnoxious wood re- moved to Tony’s back yard, so he may get revenge by burning it in his heating and cook stoves. Tony hates that woodpile so that he would very likely commit incendiarism on it in the manner’suggested. - Tuat brilliant journalistic jigger of Coleraine wants the Herald-Review to “explain why that portion of the Optic’s bid offering to furnish free of charge a copy of the tax list dnd financial statement to every taxpayer of agriculture at this|in the county, was left out of the re- port of the official proceedings?” We can’t do it, brother, any more than we can explain why Auditor Spang did not incorporate in his report of the official proceedings that brilliant little school-boy speech delivered by you to the commissioners. Nor can we explain why he did not include in the aforesaid report the district court proceedings in the contest case of Riddell vs. Riiy, or Governor Johnson’s recent message to the state legislature. Neither can we explain why a guy of your mental pe- culiarities should be found in tHe newspaper business, We must con- fess our complete failure of having made inquiry concerning these mo- mentous questions. In the mean- time the Heraid-Review is the official paper of Itasca county, wherefor the taxpayers do greatly rejoice. BSR WN THERE is no misquotation in the following. It is taken verbatim from the Coleraine Optic: “The “Optic is in possession of the exact “number of copies sent out by the ‘‘Herald-Review but refrain from ‘“‘giving them here by reason of pro- “fessional etiquette.’’ The writer of of the party interested to bave such] the foregoing quoted lines probably resolution prepared and inthe hands | desired to say that he had kauwledge of a member who will consent to|of the exact number of copies, etc., offer it and move its adoption. The]and that he refrained from making Optic man, evidently, had aot made} the figures public in deference to pro- this necessary provision for one of} fessional ethics. If the Herald-Re- tence is easily answered: The] first statement is false and the second statement is false. The Optic editor has no knowledge whatever of the number of copies of the Herald- Review printed and circulated week- ly, and he certainly is not on speak- ing terms with professional ethics, His “etiquette” may be of the pro- fessional.kind—probably in keeping with his veracity. If the Coleralne Optic chap had the Herald-Review’s monthly bills for print paper to settle he would be able to more fully realize that the members of the board of commissioners knew what they were doing when they designated this paper as the official county journal. Shien ae IT 1S NO GOOD. Roger J. Bell, the veteran editor of the Roseau Times, speakes his mind of the primay election law in the following unmistakable manner: “The primary election law has been weighed and found wanting. It is no guod. itis the creator of rotten politics and dessension within party ranks. Noone isin honor bound to support a plurality nominee.

Itis destructive of good politics and political parties upon whose existeuce depends good government. The primary election law is no earthly good and never will be. It is twice double expense to the candidate in money and time. Be- hind the self-announced and self- designated candidate for the nomina- tion there is no binding tie of party, party pride, or party honor. The candidate goes it alone.

The Hill €ity & Swan River rail- road has been little heard of since grading was completed about the NOTICE. first of Yecember but since that time the work of distributing ties has been going on and all culverts of the road have been bridged so that the grade is used as a road for distribut- ing the ties. The rails will be laid by early spring and the rvad will be in operation early in the season, says the Aitkin Age. It is now reported that a proposi- tion is before the company from the Weyerhaeuser people to extend the road five miles west of Hill City for the purpose of hauling out timber from a tract they own there and it is stated that the two companies are not far enough apart in their figures to necessarily prevent carrying out the plan by a few concessions. The Woodenware company’s saw- mill is completed and ready fur busi- ness and the filing of the articles of incorporation of that concern no doubt means the early construction of the factory. Shs Notice is hereby given to all per- sops concerned and especially the merchants and retailers of Grand Rapids, Mionesota, and vicinity, that Iwill no longer be responsible for any bills or indebtedness of any kind whatever contracted by my sons Charles Ponti and Andrew Ponti or either of them, and that any person who deals with either or both of my said sons does so at his own risk. Neither of my said sons is now liv- ing at my house as a memher of my family nor am I supporting either of them in any way. This nvtice is given so that all per- sons who may be asked to supply or furnish necessities for either of said young men will understand that I positively refuse to pay for the same.
