In} Entered at the Postoffice at Grand Rap ds, Minn.. as Second Class Matter. es Official Paper of Itasca County THE STREET CAR STRIKE. There ist a bright side to every situation, trouble in Duluth, which has demon- strated a spirit of fair play and de- sire for justice on the part of the residents of that city that speaks volumes in their favor. When the Kading papers of the city and the business men’s organization came out in favor of the strikers they gave a new turn to an old situation. We havg to them in their language nor under- unfortunately, seen too many strike situations in this country, but never one before where the large business iiiterests were unanimously with thg men instead of the employer. The demands of the striking carmen were fair and just. They were met with am arrogance by Superintendent War- ren that savored to much of Rus- sian autocracy to be acceptable to Du- Tuth citizens. The men asked that their troubles be arbitrated, but were met with the response that “there was nothing ot arbitrate.’’ In the face of these conditions the strik- ing carmen did their best to preserve Jaw and order during the strike and volunteered to help patrol the streets! with the result that rioting ceased. Whatever may be the ultimate out- come of the strike, organized labor | has been dignified everywhere joy the attitude taken in Du- luth and this attitude will go far to- | ward hastening the time when wise | and reasonable legislation, looking | to arbitration of difficulties between | employer and employee, will do away | ‘with the situation which prevailed | in Duluth last week. When that time arrives hundreds of men will not be | thrown out of employment, or business eonditions crippled, through the auto- cratic stubborness of a single indi- vidual, who in the face of such con- ditions tells the public that he “thas nothing to arbitrate.” ———————— A STORY OF DEVELOPMENT. The twenty-first annual Itasca coun-| ty fair will open tomorrow and from all inflications it will be the best fair in the history of the county’s |ers; they had certain advantages be- | mon humanity that made these com- even to the street car) | | day. | If the Tribune does not know.the |them and in itsexclus'veness has shut jof the men most thoroughly convers- jbe readily seen that a member on annual exhibitions. In the twenty- ene years of its existence the fair as been ai criterion of the growth | ef agriculture in the county, begin-| ning when it was considered a joke | to ragard northern Minnesota as} a farming country, and continu- ing to grow and expand in proportion as the farmers have taken the place | of the woodsmen, and fields of grain, vegetables and fruits have succeeded | the pine forests. Today from every section of Itasca county are preparing for exhibition and ship- ping in specimens that will compare favorably with anything that the southern counties produce. Townships| that a few years ago were virgin forest or wastes of burned-over or logged-off lands will exhibit the re- sult of the labor of men who have} eonverted these lands into productive | farms. And the gocd work is just be- ginning. The county fair has been a missionary in the past, demonstrat- ing the possibilities of northern Min- mesota soil. Its promoters can feel | that its possibilities and usefulness | will increase with the yearly influx | of new residents and that they are doing a vital work in demonstrating | that the cheap lands of the north | eceuntry can be made to produce boun- tifully and afford comfortable homes and a competence to the men who! are alive to the opportunities await- tug them here. oo THE COMMON PEOPLE.

The roundabout way in which matjy of the precincts must send in the returns will make it Friday or Saturday, at the earliest when com- plete returns from the county can be hoped for. Returns from all the ayailable pre- cincts give a majority vote on the non-partisan ticket to Judge C. W. Stanton for the supreme bench.

House of the Duluth schools, who will talk on equal suffrage. The ladies of the Presbyterian Aid society are arranging to serve lunches on the grounds during all three days | of the fair and will dispense sand- wiches, baked beans, doughnuts, pies and coffee, so that ample provision for meals at the grounds are assured, and every convenience for the com- fort of fair visitors is being arranged. Most of the county exhibit which | was shown at the state fair will be on display and the exhibit which the | ¥, Itasca county schools made at the fair has been brought back and will ‘be shown here just as it was dis- played at Hamline. A special prize for girls under 16 years of age who are expert bread makers is beimg offered by “The Farmer”, published by the Webb Pub- lishing company, St. Paul. A chate- lain watch is offered to the girl ex- hibiting the best loaf of pread at the county fair baked from Minnesota flour. The winner will be eligible to compete at the 1913 state fair for the diamond rimg offered by the same generous company. The township exhibits will be a feature of more than ‘ordinary inter- est this year, as Ardenhurst, Deer River, Warba and Trout Lake town- ler, who will talk on some of the present day issues.
