Official Paper of Itasca County WHO REPRESENTS THE FARM- ERS? The Senate has heard from the farmers of Minnesota. That is, it has heard a delegation of men oppos- ed to Canadian reciprocity, who claim to represent the farmers of this state Possibly they did represent them, though it has not always been so as to several of them. There no doubt are a good many framers, probably a considerable pro- portion of them, who sincerely fear the results of this proposed agree- ment. They consider it a menace. They have listened to figures from men pretending to be their. sponsors, which tell a doleful tale, and have bee lieved them. Many of these figures, have been shown to be wrong, to be however, misrepresentations and delib- erate falsification. The real pur- pose back of the men who gave them we do not know, but either they were deceived or were attempting to gross deceive. On the other hand, such men as H. E. Hoard, Thomas Shaw and Dean Woods favor the agreement. They have made agriculture their life work and life study. They are the recog- nized experts of the northwest in all questions as to this subject, as well on the economic side as on the soil side. Their motives are above suspicion. They have the pride and honor of professionalism and of specialists. They may be mistaken, but the judgment of either one is certainly worth that of a thousand othens such as some of the delegates who have been in Washington in behalf of the farmers’ supposed opposition to reci- procity. There are, also, many men who live on the land and till it themselv- do not merely own farm lands, or improved farms, who be- es, who lieve this agreement will help, not They are willing to take their chance with the rest of the popula- hurt. tion. They recognize, also, that this is an agreement, not a treaty; it can be terminated at any time, and if it does prove hurtful, certainly it will be instantly terminated. There is no one so full of folly as to deliber- ately wish to injure the farmer by lessening his income. All wealth comes from the land, and to injure those who produce this wealth by lessening its volume, by sacrificing them to their foreign competitors, would be a folly of which no sane man would be guilty.— Duluth News-Tribune, THE SHORT BALLOT. Additional reason for being glad Governor Woodrow Wilson has_ the ear and the confidence of the Amer- ican people is furnished by the fact that he is taking the occasion of his wide hearing to urge consideration of the short ballot reform, In one of his Western speeches Governor Wilson said that the best governed cities are those which have the necessary features of the com- mission plan of government. The es- sential feature, of this plan is iden- tical with the short ballot idea: it concentrates public attention upon a few offices instead of scattering it so widely among many offices that the best results are impossible. “The short ballot,” said Governor Wilson, “is a departure from the commonly accepted doctrine that the way to make the people supreme was to put every choice for office, wheth- er the office were great or small, in the hands of the people.” Though that practice looked like popular government and was pursued with that thought in mind, never was anything devised that worked more surely away from real popular gov- ernment and into the hands of the bosses. “We now see,” said Dr. Wil- son, “that making every office elect- ive was exactly the way not to make popular control effective.” The aim in extending the lists of elective offices was to avoid central- izing power. The people feared that if a few elective officers controlled, too much power would come into their hands. So they made as many offices elective as they possibly could. The result was the long ballot of today. The average voter, when he goes through that ballot, knows as much about two-thirds of the candidates as he knows about the men on a ticket in Texas. This unavoidable ignor- ance leaves the choice to profession- als. % The short ballot plan takes the back track, and centralizes power freely. Instead of many elective of- ficers and a diffusion of power and responsibility, there are only a few elective officers and a concentration of power and responsibility. How does it come that there is no longer need of fearing centralized Because the people have dis- covered something that is much bet- power? ter, much simpler and much more effective than the old device of dif- fusing responsibility among so many offices that nobody ever could lo- cate it and few could know who was filling those offices or who ought to be there. The new device is the re- of this centralized power, because at any time the people can withdraw the officer who attempts to abuse his power and put another in his place. At present the short ballot move- ment is confined to the cities, where it is working out under the commis- sion plan. Under this scheme a few men are picked and given full power and full responsbiility. The people safeguard themselves against abuses of this power by the initiative, un- der which they can institute public projects, the referendum, under whic they can jects _ instituted by their of- ficers, and the recall, under which they can supplant any unfaith- ful officer at any time. Later, it is believed, the movement will extend to the states. In a stite campaign everybody knows—or thiuk he knows—all about the candidates for governor, and pretty nearly no- body knows about the many other candidates. nor will be required to appoint these Some time the gover- other men and become responsible for their acts, and then the people will be voting on no more offices than they can know about. Trying to elect eight or ten minor state officers is about as sensible as it would be to submit the selection of the president’s cabinet to popular election.—Duluth Herald.

SEVENTOONE WAS SUNDA’ RESULT Grand Rapids Played Ragged Ball and Cloquet Did Not Earn the One Run They Received. GO TO DEER RIVER NEXT SUNDAY Will Play the City Team at That Place and It Is Expected Large Crowd of Fans Will Accom- pany the Boys. In the game Sunday between the Grand Rapids Juniors and the Clo quet Juniors, although Grand Rap- ids played very ragged ball, they clearly demonstrated their superior- ity over the visitors, the final score being 7 to 1. In the first inning by two particu- larly bad errors, Costigan scored for Cloquet, bringing in the only run for the visitors. Lee was first up fcr Grand Rapids and struck out. Betz got a walk, as did also Erskine, but Brandon’s and Whaling’s ground- ers were fielded quickly and they tailed to see finst. In the second neither team scored and the boys from the saw mill town failed to do anything in the third, but Grand Rapids got busy this inn- ing and piled up four runs, scores be-| ing made by Lee, Erskine, Brandon and Whaling. There was nothing doing in the fourth or fifth and noth- ing for Cloquet in the sixth, but the Juniors got busy again and rung up three more scores, the feature of the inning being a two-bagger by Whaling. Neither team scored in the seventh or eighth and Cloquet didn’t get a man to first during the ninth. Following is the score by innings: RHE Grand Rapids..0040030Qx 7 4 8 Cloquet. -.100000000 119 Batteries: Grand Rapids, Whaling and Erskine; Cloquet, Graton and Coyne. Umpire, Botts. The Grand Rapids Juniors will go to Deer River Sunday where they ‘will play the city team of that place. It will undoubtedly prove a fast game and all who can make arrange- ments should accompany the boys. Its An Ill Wind, Ete. The old saying that “its an ill wind that blows nobody good’* was amply exemplified Sunday evening, when the gale, which was an ur ually strong one, blew down the walls) of the Hughes block, They were in a weakened condition from the re- sult of the fire and it would have required a considerable outlay to have torn them down. No serious damage was done by the wind, al- though a tree was uprooted in John Costello’s yard and a number are reported to have been blown down in the vicinity of the Ogema hotel at Pokegama lake.

If You Want To Save Mond, Buy For CASH Only! © DRY GOODS Co. me Jie. + We are convincing the people that we can save them money by doing a strictly cash business. Why should the cash customer pay as much as the customer that buys on credit? Maybe you think you don’t but you do, for no matter how careful a credit business is conducted a certain percentage is lost and this with the expense of bookkeeping that is connected with a credit business is added to the cost of the merchan @ and the cash customer must pay just that muchj extra. Besides there is always other troubles with a credit business. The bookkeeper often times fails to give credit for certain payments or you get charged with someone else’s goods. If not this it is something else and while these mistakes are not intended they do happen with any firm doing a credit business and someone always loses, and so in the end the cash customer helps to pay for all of these mistakes.
