SR The reason for this Is found in the fact that 60oo people read the Ploneer every day. An Unfortunate Position. An article published in the news columns of the Pioneer yes- terday called attention to the fact that Beltrami is in the wrong congressional district and sug- gested that it would do better in the sixth district. These yiews are said to be held by a number of Beltrami county citizens who have studied the situation. Bel- trami, it is true does not have a great deal in common with the other counties of the ninth dis- trict, Neither would it have much in common with the coun- ties of the sixth district. The sixth district is a long one now and with Beltrami added and with Stearns county at the other end of the string it would have to be a case of the tail wagging the dog for Beltrami to get anything political. Under present condi- tions Beltrami county appears to be a county without a congres- sional district. Thereis not much hope of bettering the county’s condition without a general shak- ing up of congressional lines and the forming of the north central counties of the state into a dis- trict by themselves. THE Pioneer today prints an interview from Chief of Police Sherman Bailey in regard to the that has been made against members of the police foree of soliciting votes, carry- ing men to the polls and inducing them to vote for candidates favored by the police at the school election Saturday night. The chief feels agrieved, in that various rumors are afloat in re- charge gard to various other scandalous acts alleged to have been com- mitted by the police; Of these things the Pioneer knows noth- ing and nothing in connection with them has ever been printed in these columns. The chief ad- mits that members of the police force attempted to influence the voting at the polls at the school election and intimates that they had as much right to do so as had any other citizen. As a pri- vate citizen Mr. Bailey and the members of the police force have a perfect right to solicit votes as -has any citizen, but when members of the police force during the hours in which they are upon duty and dressed in policeman’s clothes send men to the polls, direct them.how to vote, take ballots from them and to vote other ballots they are doing something very different from merely exer- cising their rights as citizens. Such acts are an outrage on the rights of every citizen and a viola- tion of every policeman’s oath of office.: this city where the people have got to say whether they are go- ing to do their voting themselves or whether they are going to turn the elections over to the police and let them vote the town at they please. other instruct them It has come to a point in Macalester College.

The Daily Pioneert Maca- | | SMYTH EXPLAINS Declares That Mr. Ellis Was Not An Employe of School Board During Year of 1902-03. Bemidji. July 20, '04. Editor of the Pioneer: Refering to the “Serious Charges’ in the Pioneer of Saturday, July 16, against D. C: Smyth, clerk of the school board, in which J. J. Ellis convicts him- self of either bribery or perjury in February, 1903. T want to say that so far as his relations with me are coucerned, he is not guilty of bribery. This statement says that in the month of February, 1903 he paid me $20 for the position of janitor. The records of the Board of the Education show that at the beginning of the school years of 1902 and 1903 that on August 2, 1902, Goe. E- Carson, was elected president, D. C. Smyth was elected clerk and John Graham was elected treasurer. The treasurer’s compensation was fixed at 2 per cent, of his dis- bursments. Tne clerk’s salary was fixed ab $75 per month with the under- standing that he was to perform the duties of engineer and janitor of the main school building in ad- dition to the clerical duties per- taining to his office. TFurther, that during the school year of 190208 or from August 2 1902 uniil August 1, 1903, J. J. Ellis and others were employed by me at various times as assistants, or or helpers, and as a considera- tion for their services they were paid a sum agreed tpon out of my own money. Further, that at no time dur- ing the school year 1902-03, was J. J. on the pay roll of the Board of Education. The charges made by Mr. Ellis are absolutely false. D. C. SymTH.

OFFICE HOURS: 10 a. m. to Noor, and 1 to 5:30 p. m. T vealize that it is sometimes very embarassing for a lady to tell a physician about her troubles. For that reason I keep in attendance a lady ac my office from 1t0 5:30 p. m. She assists (if desired) all b ladies in getting ready for examinations; is present (if desired) while I am giving adjustments. The cause of all female diseases is in the spinal column (small of the back) and I find it is unnecessary to adjust other than the cause; for the removal of the cause always allows the diseased organs to resume their natural positions and functions. Hence T never require local examination and never give local treatment, and even so, there is no line of diseases with which I have more complete success than those which afflict womankind. i F. O. .
