Notwithstanding the fact that we have heard so much in the | past two years about rural deliv- ery routes it will probably sur- prise most people to know that there are now over 1,200 rural routes in Minnesota and the two Dakotas. So numerous have they become that a separate divi- sion for this territory has been created with headquarters at. St. Paul and it is announced that the number of rural routes within the three states will within a few months be increased to at least 2,000. Next to the public schools and the press the postoffice de- partment has been the greatest educative force in the world and it is probable that no single de- velopment of the postal service has had so great an influence upon the political and social progress of the nation as has the installation of the rural delivery system. Think what 2,000 rural routes will accomplish in Minne- sota, North and South Dakota in keeping the farmers of these states in close touch with each other and with the rest of the world. Rural routes are destined to work a wonderful change in the civilization of the present day and abundant signs of that change are already evident. THE progress made by the ladies club of this city in organ- izing, establishing and main- taining a library must be source of great satisfaction to the citizens of Bemidji. The success of the ladies in this matter has been conspicuous. The project to establish a library was broached scarce a half a year ago and today the library is a fact—it has been a fact for nearly three months, with a fine selection of books stantly increasing and a con- patronage. Bemidji has done its part. It’s up to Carnegie. SENATOR Davis, democratic nominee for vice president, is 81 years old. It has been demon- strated to the American people that no man whose physical strength is impaired can for long stand the terrific strain of the presidency. If the democrats should be successful in Novem- ber and disease or accident should make Davis president he would be a dead man within three months. WHEN the democratic party is so hard pressed for issues it seems most strange that they would pass so obvious an issue as the financial issue. It ill be- comes a party which has twice made desperate attempts to ride into office on the money question to declare that there is no finan- cial issue. T s b— WEeBSTER CITY, Iowa, has ex- perimented withsome satisfaction with various municipal ventures, buys and has begun to publish a daily newspaper. By the time the city has paid its expense bills for a month or two it will be advocating an amendment to the statutes doubling the legal rates for printing, Mz. RooSEVELT and Mr. Park- er might learn something to their advantage if they would communicate with Mr. Diaz of Mexico. Diaz has just been re- elected president of the Mexican republic: for the steenth con- secutive time Tt POLITICS Itasca county has three candi- dates for the legislature. If it caneliminate two of them it can probably nominate.and: elect the third. The Detroit Record thinks that in yiew of Goyernor Van Sant’s experience it will be quite a while before anyone else at- tempts toset up a dictatorship at the state capitol. The DuluthHerald, democratic, admits that the democratic party has an.uphill. job on its hands this fall and points the figures to prove it. Now he is, and now he isn’t a candidatefor congress-Will Rowe| of Crookston. Mr. Rowe is not this year’s spring chicien and he appreciates the value of adver- tising and has quite a definite idea of how to get it cheap. He nov: says that it costs $15,000 to go to congress from the ninth district and he doubts if the country needs salvation at that price. It would have been preferable to have been in Bob Dunn’s shoes and lose than to have been in Judge Collins’ shoes and win. The former carried every pre- cinct in his home town, every county in his district, the Ham- line precinct in St. Paul where he now lives without a single vote against him, and Judge Col- lins’ ward and precinct in Minne- apolis. When those that know a man back him up like that, it’s pretty nearly the limit of honor anyway.— Grand Rapids Mag- net. The recent - republican state convention sat upon a velecano’s edge for several days. That there was not an eruption and desperate trouble for the party was due/ to the firmness and justice of Senator Clapp as chair- man and to the fine skill with which the leaders of the party piloted the convention to the har- monious end of its labors.: The fate of the party lay in the hands of the committee on credentials and most ably did the fifteen gentlemen who composed that committee discharge their duty. The 1epublican party of Minnesota should be proud that it has men of such courage and ability. -~ Northern Minnesota was represented on the com- mittee by Senator A. D. Stevens of Crookston and it is largely due to his skilltul leadership that there is today.mo split in the party. . LOSS OF HALF A MILLION. Steamship San Jacinto Destroyed at Chester, Pa. Philadelphia, July 13.—The steam- ship San Jacinto of the Mallory line was practically destroyed by fire dur- ing the day while lying at Roach’s shipyard, Chestcr, Pa., where she was laid up for repairs. The vessel was built a year ago by the Roach Ship- building company at a cost of over half a million dollars. The fire originated in a room used for the storing of oil and varnish and had gained such headway before the arrival of the fire. engines that the firemen divided their attention De- tween the big vessel and the property of the shipbuilding company adjacent to the dock. RESULT; IN THREE DEATHS. Kerosene Used to Replenish Fire in Kitchen Stove. ‘Walworth, Wis,, July 13.—Three lives were lost in a fire near this vil- lage in which the amount of prop- gl’t}") destroyed amounts to a little over 500. Carelessness in an endeavor to re- plenish a kitchen fire by the aid of kerosene started the blaze, burned a young woman who was at work over the stove and two children, together with the home of Chris Holtz, a farmer on the Peterson place, four miles west of this place. The dead are Marie Sorenson, aged nineteen years; Dorothy Holtz, aged nine years; Petra Holtz, aged five years. DEPORTATIONS CONTINUE. Military Authorit 8till in Control at Cripple Creek. Cripple Creek, Colo., July 13.—De portations continue to be made by the military authorities. Eleven Italians and Austrians arrested soon after their arrival at Victor were sent away on the next train. State Boiler In- spector Taylor was arrested when coming into the district over the Shore Line railway, but was released after he was brought to the Mine Owners’ association headquarters and had ex- plained his official business. UNDERTAKERS WILL QUIT. Chicago Too Healthy for Large Num- ber-in Business There. Chicago, July 13.—The unprecedent- ed low rate of mortality in Chicago has brought slack business to the un- dertakers and, according to several of the principal funeral directors, many of them have to engage in other lines of husiness. The last weekly bulletin of the health department showed a total of 395 deaths reported. There are in the city 401 licensed undertakers. INDIANS AFTER RE{IENGE.
