The Herald has a look of contentment and some pros perity on its features and Mr.Mauser who is experienced in the business will no doubt make a success of his new possessions. es There will be a roundup of the newspaper gang of the North-Central Minnesota Editorial association at Walker on June 3, 4, and 5.

Gay €, Huntley is the publisher.The News shows a very liberal patronage in its advertising columns for a town the size of Hill City, and if the business men continde as they have begun the publisher will have no cause for com- plaint. The new paper is well edited and the local news is presented in a commendable manner. May the news live long and prosper. is UN EE SI The Herald-Review is in receipt of a communication and a_photo- graph of Walter J. Smith of Eveleth, who would like to be elected to the office of state treasurer on the Re- publican ticket. Walter is a bright ap- pearing young man, rather good look- ing, to judge from his picture, and the Herald-Review has no objection to his handling the states’s millions,if he can land the job. He may be all right. SRE SRS, A. G. Rutledge, known throughout | northern Minnesota and some other places as “Doc”, has severed his con- nection with. the Bemidji Daily ‘Poneer. Under circumstances that were by no means the most favor- able “Doc” made the Pioneer a credit to the little city in which it is pub- lished and a credit to this section of the state.

Congress might as well be “canned” and the whole works turned over to the president.| If the alleged nationa] law makers fail to enact such measures in such man-| ner as the president may see fit to dictate, there’s nothing doing. Let’s “can” the two branches of congress and thereby save a whole lot of fruitless expense and unnecessary trouble. PAE ES Judge Alfred Jaques of Duluth is being urged by the Unterrified of the Eighth district to enter the political arena against C. 1. Miller for a seat in congress. Judge Jaques is an able lawyer, an honest man, a student of political econvmy and would average Indians citizens and granted them land allotments in severalty, the ma- jority of them having now obtained such allotments. a PE Rae TNR SEELEY 1S IT REALLY DEAD? The Biwabic Times sizes the sit- uation up thusly, and the Herald- Review hopes it sizes rightly: “It is evident from the tone of the south- state papers that ithe tonnage tax is- sue has died. Word has evidently got even down that far that the mining companies are through opposing such a tax. They have figured out that they can get off the cheapest in this manner. But the people living and doing business in the mining dis- tricts are opposed to such an un- just and unreasonable tax, compar- ing it with the gross earnings tax on the railroads that permits the rail- way companies to own thousand of up weil with tne men who congregate at Washington to make our national laws. peer Sue SE SE STATE FAIR vs. THE NEWSPAPER Many country papers throughout the state have insurged against.the.Minne sota State Agricultural society, and they are justified in their insurgen- cy—yes, doubly justified. The country press of Minnesota.has.been a potent factor in building up the great state fair, which is recognized as ome of first in greatness of any in the Unit- ed States. In times past the custom prevailed to issue passes to the fair grounds to publishers as a slight rec- ognition and appreciation of the hun- dreds of dollars’ worth of free adver- tising they gave each year. The demand for more space,free of charge to the fair management, became so persistent that some publishers re- belled and refused to longer do the charity act. Finally the management of the big show condescended to.throw a paltry ten dollars to each paper in the state, in addition to tickets for two.This year jit has been decided to knock off the tickets. In doing this the fair management is doing right. It is time that reputable newspapers should longer refuse to be looked upon as objects of charity. The ier- ald-Review for one -will respectfully decline ito accept an exchange of courtesies. If the boys who boss the fair business are inclined to use the columns of this very excellent news- paper for advertising purposes, they may have all the space they wish for at the same rates that our local mer- | chants pay. Should we desire to take in the big state show we'll buy a ticket and sit in the grand stand just like a plutocrat. THAT ANTIQUE TREATY The ancient treaty under which W.E. Jchason, special government agent, las been operating in the closing of sioons in alleged Indian territory, has been attacked through an action of saloon men, and an effort will be made through the courts to have it declared void. George B. Edgerton, a St. Paul a‘torney, has been employ- <d by a unmber of men who have been arrested and prosecuted for alleged violations of the old treaty, to carry their cases to the highest court. In a hearing before Judge Morris at Fergus Falls, Mr. Edgerton appeared herged with having introduced liquor in the Indian terri- tory. The government introduced its evidence, but the defendant, instead of claiming that he was not guilty, made no effort to counteract the tes- timony of the government’s witness- es.Instend b's attorvey came forward and argued a motion for a directed verdict of acquittal on the ground that the treaty under which the gov- ernment was closing the saloons and for Fred Gtass. indicting the liquor men was no longer valid. He con- tended that it was unreasonable to hold that the treaty was to re- main in effect forever, and that the changes that had come about in the sixty or seventy years that had elapsed since it was made, had nulli- fied to such an extent that it should now be declared invalid. The country had been settled by white ‘people, towns and villages had sprung up, state and local governments had been organized, railways had been built, and the country was no longer “In- acres of idle land that is free from taxation, while farmers are develop- ing neighboring land, paying for the schools, for the roads and increasing the railway land. The tonnage tax would be ‘but another feature of the state grabbing it all and the people paying the bills.” FIX SALARY O SUPERINTENDENT Water and Light Commission Hold Meeting—Bids Opened for A especial meeting of the water and light commission was held at Town Hall Monday evening and the salary of ‘the superin- tendent of the electric light and pow- er plant was fixed at $125 per month. The salaries of the engineers, which were fixed at $80 for the day man and $75 for the night man by the council, were confirmed. Supt Gar- mis will be retained in his present position as will also the engin>ers. Bids were opend.and.read.for paint- img and calcimining Village hall as follows: J. A. Brown, painting and decorating hall, inside and out, $299.- 70; Wm. Ashton, painting hall, inside and out,$295;R.A. McAllister, paint- ing exterior of hall, $180. The bid of Wm. Ashton being the lowest, was accepted and he will start: work as soon as the repairs are completed. EVANGELISTS DO GOOD WORK Waitics-diadlcenra Ristval Meetings Greeted By Large Audiences Each Evening. The Barker-Andrews revival meet- ings which are beng held at the M. E. church, are well attended and Rev Barker states he is surprised at the interest shown, it being greater than his expectations.

Says the Bovey Iron News: “Pat- rick Lynch is in town. If there has been anyone who has had a hard row to follow, it has been Mr. Lynch the past two years, when he accidently caused the death of O’Niel, a camp companion who had egged him into an alteration and fight. Mr. Lynch was convicted of manslaughter, but a new trial has been granted him, and he ts out on bonds. Mr. Lynch has our fullest personal sympathy. We did not hear the evidence pre- sented at the court. Nevertheless we trust our intuition, our knowledge of human nature, and our acquaintance with Mr. Lynch, and we feel the ver- dict was an unfair one. There are others that feel the same. Owing to an unfortunate chance, two of the best years of his life have been spoiled, with at least another year to follow.” It Pays to Advertise. The marriage of Richard W. Whit- inger to ‘Miss Wilda Reed was solem- ized by Judge of Probate Huson Fri- day. Back of this statement hangs a tale. Mr. Whitinger, who lives neal Bergville, is a prosperous farmer and raises a large number of sheep and other stock. While enjoying the life of a farmer, living alone was not to his taste and when he heard’ a lady who lives in that vicinity extolling the charms of a yeung lady who lived near Swan River, he forthwith made up his mind she would make a fitting helpmees and proceeded to get busy. The result was he married Miss Reed, as above stated, Friday afternoon. The happy couple de- parted for their home near Bergville Saturday. * Benjiman Partridge Dead. Benjamin Partridge died at his home on the south side Sunday af- ternoon at 2:30 o’clock, of heart trouble aftcr an ilmess of two weeks duration. The deceased was born in Ragland in 1888 uid “as seventy- wo years old at the tin of his death. At the age ef six years he migrated to Waukeshaw, Wis. He was married to Elvira Wheaton and moved to Grand Rapids in 1896. The funeral services were held Tuesday morning and interment took place in the Itas- ca cemetery. Besides a wife he leaves two sons, William and Jarvis to mourn his’ loss. The Way It Works.

The report was generally circulat- ed! about town yesterday that an au- tomobile from the Wilder garage turned turtle Monday night on a return trip from Bovey, and that two passengers were badly hurt. The story was badly mixed, however, as it was a machine from Bovey that got imto trouble, injuring J. O. John- son and two others who were return- ing to Grand Rapids. Mr. Wlder’s car had made a trip to Coleraine and returning the driver was alone. The machine got out of order, and the chauffeur did not wish to take any chances on causing greater dam- age and left his car by the road- side until yesterday morning. Mr. Wilder says he putin the best car that is made; he has careful driv- ers and fhe is not in the least alarm- ed about accidents.
