In looking over exchanges the Herald-Review dis- covers that Itasca county by no means has a monopoly on crime in northern Minnesota. This fact, how- ever, will not lessen the efforts of the proper authorities to punish crim- inals and make this an undesirable place for law violators to engage in the business. Ao ee This one is making the rounds of the press, and it tells the story pretty well: A town that never has anything to do in a public way, is on the way to the cemetery. Any chizen who will do nothing for his own town is helping dig the grave. A man that cunses the town furnish- es the coffin. The man who is so selfish as to have no time from his business to give to city affairs is making the shroud.

For untold centuries this pestiferous insect has tortured hu- manity and spread disease through- glut the world. It has industriously sought out and insidiously sickened little children in countless numbers, nd its hellish treatment of adults has exhausted the endurance of mankind.

Newport would feel itself forever talked these many years and will|disgraced if it received Jack Ger- aghty, but it realizes the distinction and honor of the presence of John Jacob Astor. Is this the proper measure of America’s highest social stratum? It seems so. Jack Geragh*y is a chauffeur; he is an expent; he has an interest in an auto company; his salary is $50 a week. But he is a man who works with his hands. Worse even than that, he is the son of a cabman. To be sure, his fa- ther owns his own cab and lives in his own house; he is a respectable citizen with a Roosevelt family; but he is of the lower stratum. Like his son he works for a living. It was the som who won the heart of a young heiress; the daughter of wealth related to the Vanderbilts and others of our aristocracy, who are removed the three generations from shirt-sleeves but have not verified the proverb by returning to them. On the contrary they have fattened on the toil of others and have grown the more to despise their origin and the source of their riches. Jack Geraghty will not be recog- nized by so much as the lift of an eyebrow by exclusive Newport and the venture and J. Lefevre seems to|lowance imaginable. His statement the face of Geraghty. be in general charge of preparations|is absurd. There is about as much Yet we call Queen Mary a prude | because she discriminates against America’s News Tribune. GRAND RAPIDS 19 AGAIN THE VICTOR Won Out From The Marble Juniors Sunday By Decisive Score of 9 to 4. socially “400.”—Duluth WHALING GOT NINE STRIKE-OUTS Boys Put Up a Good Game Until the Fatal Seventh, When Visitors Got Hits When They Meant Runs. (By the Herald-Review's new | sporting editor, who recently graduated from ‘the Boston Con- servatory of Music.) Did we play ball Sunday? Well, I should say we did, but say, that sev- enth inning sure is the unlucky one for us. If we could only get by that one inning we would be alright, but we can't. The score Sunday was 9 tp 4 and up to the seventh it was a shut-out, but the fact that the Mar- ble boys swatted the ball when hits meant runs, coupled with two bad errors, let in four runs. We sure did hate to see those four runs come in, but then, whatchu goin’ to do? a sniff of the high bred nose will greet his young wife, who but a few days ago was one of the belles and favorites. But with the head of the house of Astor it is different. He reckons arise as one mam in the campaign against the dread disease carrier— the foul house fly. Eee A es CANADA AND U. S. FIGHT? The Canadian opponents of reci- procity with the United States must have it figured out that their con- stituents are an easy lot to deal with politically. The Duluth Herald briefly sizes up the attitude of the conservatives and their wild absurd- ities in the following comment: “Speaking at Winnipeg the other evening Attorney General Campbell of Manitoba, Conservative, scouted the claim that if reciprocity doesn’t urn out as expected it can be re- pealed at amy time. That claim, made im ‘this country also, is true; but Conservative Campbell sought tb make a point about it by saying that if Canada repealed reciprocity it would constitute an affront to the United States, which would pick a quarrel and force war. “Considerable latitude is allowed in the heat of debate, but Mr. Camp- bell has exceeded the most lavish al- his inherited wealth in millions. It is founded to be sure on the worse than questionable methods that rul- ed in trading with the Indians in the earlier days It was laid in a trail of blood, debauchery and swindling. The former wife of this present John Jacob secured a divorce from him on unprintable grounds. It was not only granted her, but so braz- en was the offense, the court coupled with it a decree that the husband should not marry again during her life. But what is a court decree to an Astor? His engagement had been announced to a pretty young girl of a wealthy and supposedly respect- able family. All social New York is agog over it and eager to entertain the unspeakable Astor and his bride- to-be. They are the reigning sensation at Newport. Everywhere they are sought and are received with dis- tinction.

PROVIDING HOMES FOR THE HOMELESS Judge of Probate Webster Looks After the Welfare of Three Dependents. Two bright appearing children were ‘brought to Grand Rapids from the town of Orth Wednesday last by or- der of Judge of Probate Webster. They are the orphans of A. O. Clyde, who was accidentally killed in a saw mill at Orth a year ago last June. Neighbors had filed information with the probate court which resulted in taking the widowed mother of the children in charge for examination as to her sanity. The commission found the woman to be suffering from mental trouble, and the court com- mitted her to the hospital for insane at Fergus Falls. After investigating the circumstances of the family Judge Webster decided to put the children in the home for orphans. On Telephone, Office No. MESABA TELEPHONE CO 0. V.
