Spring} is liberal with its smiles and be- stows them alike on the lovely and| the uncouth, the deserving and the undeserving. But we shouldn't be uncouth or undeserving. Grand Rapids is the most beautiful village in all the north country, and its people should keep their premises in a condition that will give nature a chance. It} | dant notes in the music. There is a strike on the Cuyu- No range, and the mines are idle. The starting of the Crosby Cruci- ble and the strike have made that a sure enough mining country. ae eee It takes one a long time to thoroughly understand the new Democratic tariff bill, but there can be no doubt, looking at the figures, that the revision is down- ward. A Demearaeoe F S England and Germany are plan- ning to get together on a scheme to limit the building of warships. Both of them are getting pretty hard up, and the time is not far distant when they must put on the lid, agreement or no agreement.

Still, we have not seen many up this wa tearing around with a subscription list to place his statue in the Hall of Fame orthe Place of He- roes. ———__ — A theosophist lecturer says the People who accumulate weallh are the savage and worthless. Per- sons who gather knowledge, he thinks, are the real people. But we have known quite a few who got the coin and besides grabbed off about all there was worth know- ing. ee oe The Great Northern railroad wants the taxes reduced on _ its mining land in Itasca county.

Tonnage taxation may be unfair, but there of the scales. eineke te ea ees The sheriff of Auburn, warned Emil Seidel, former of Milwaukee, and one of the lead- ing Socialists of the country, not to discuss the strike in his speech in that city last week.

This means saloon closing at legal hours, and the repression of other forms of vice. It is a good beginning. Granting the saloon the same consideration as any other business, there is no’ mitted to disregard the laws made to govern it, which are generally sane, mild and sensible. The bet-| ter class of saloon men want to wise only when forced by unfair competition permitted by lax or “liberal” policies on the part of mayors of cities. The sooner these liberties with the law are frowned upon the better for the communi- ty, the home and the saloon itself.

A special meeting of the board ot county commissioners held at the court house yesterday to con- for stat rural highway No. 10, known as the Du- the Ywin Cities to the Canadian The board only had to dea with the Itasca-county portion of the road. R. M. Cooley of the state high- way engineer’s office was present and advised with the commission- ers'as to the proper action to be taken. The several actions taken in the proceeding thus far were received and approved following the advise of County Attorney McOuat. L. W. Huntley, John H. Carlson and A. H. Randahl were named as viewers to appraise the benefits and damages to lands through which the road will pass. , An official report of the proceed- ings will appear in the next issue of the Herald-Review.

He also said the public should re- ject Andrew’s library gifts, and put up and equip institutions themselves, as anything worth hav- ing is best when the person bene- fitted pays for it. The latter statement is unex- ceptionable. Furthermore the pub- lie is beginning to be aware of it. such canny Scot he is without doubt, but a mighty good one, as are most of them. If he shook down the American, it was because he was stronger than the American. In doing it he applied the American method. He learned the game _ in America, and evidently became more proficient at it than the man who invented it. | A vice president, of course, has to say something to keep from be- ing forgotten, and Andrew can bear \the weight of the little knock.

The message dealt with the tar- iff question, and stated in plain mer begins. We want to make a) janguage what the presiednt wished to say. He told congress that the tariff schedules must be cut down, special privilege destroyed, and the stimulus of competition restored to manufacturing. That the leaders among the law- makers agree with him is evi- denced by the text of the tariff bill. There is radical reduction all along the line, a reduction so pronounced that it promises to make a real beginning in the so- lution of the problem of the high cost of_living.
