WIHITCHCOCK. ntered In the postoffice at Bemidjl, Minn,, as second rlass matter. Official County and City Paper | SUBSCRIPTION $5 PER YEAR Time Must Tell. Discussion as to the primary election law has revived in full force since the republican state convention; the general trend of sentiment now is that the law should be extended to state offi- cers and a flood of changes is again suggested. The Pioneer has steadfastly contended that the present law should be given a thorough test before any changes whatever are made and we believe that the legislature last year was wise in letting the law stand until it has had another test. The law is unquestionably here to stay; it just as certainly needs some amendment. But if we are perfectly frank with our- selves we must acknowledge that we do not know certainly as yet what changes should be made We shall know a good deal more about it after the primaries this fall. Some changes will undoubt- edly be made by the next legisla- ture and the present discussion with the actual experience in September will go far settling what these amendments to the law shall be. toward THERE wul be few changes in Minnesota’s vepresentation in Congress as a result of ‘the elec- tions this fall. We are beginning to appreciate more and more fully the advantage of keeping good men in office. ple are continually their public officials they pay a heavy price for the privilege. It is a good thing to have elections come frequently so that public officials may remember that they are simply public servants but a good public servant increases in value with the length of his ser- vice and no folly is greater than to displace a good man simply to give someone else “‘a chance.” Where peo- changing Toe lack of faith on the part of many people in Beltrami county’s future is one of the seven marvels of the world. Be- cause Beltrami isnot a wheat country some people think it can never be farmed.- Wheat farm- ing is but one branch of farming and four. years out of five itis the most unprofitable branch. Nine tenths of the lands of Bel- trami county are exactly the kind of lands from which the rich farms of the middle west have been made and a few years will demonstrate that fact very clearly. For eight years Mr. Parker has stood for free silver and his sudden advocacy of the gold standard after that standard has been irrevocably established by the republicans savors more of political craft than statesman ship. POLITIGS The Crookston Journal is lying awake nights thinking up opposi- tion to Congressman Steeuerson Inaleading editorial yesterday it uncovered a terrible plot to do up the bigninthdistrict congress- man by cutting off Belt.raml county from the district. The Journal claims that Beltrami county is republican by 2,000 and that if it were cut off from ninth district Mr. Steenerson would be in dire peril. lnasmuch as Mr. Steenerson was elected b; a plurality of over 12,000 votes its is pretty hard to understand the Journal’s brand of mathema- tics. But the republican ma.]mlty in Beltrami county is not 2,000, nor even 1,000. Van Sant car- ried the count.y two years ago by 1,100 and Swedback for senator water county which is no longer a part of the Beltrami county terr: 1torv The republicans of Beltrami county will do well this fall to secure a majority of 600. Moreover the articles _published in the Pioneer concerning the de- taching of Beltrami r‘ounby from the ninth district and. mtachmg it to the sixth was simply an in- terview with one of the citizens of this placeand in the same issue the Pioneer made editorial nien- tion of the matter doubting the advantages to be gained by such change. The Journ nal seems to be sbran"e]y nervous over Congress- man Steenerson’s reclection and if it keeps on ‘‘seein’ ” things at this rate it will raise a suspicion that Mr. Steenerson is not as strong through the district as he is supposed to be. While the democrats are preaching brotherly love to the republicans of Minnesota the democratic editor of the Little Talls Herald thus pay$ his re- spects to the democratic editor ot the St, Cloud Times. If the edi- tor of the Little Falls Herald had traded off C. A. Towne, when he was a candidate|for congress, in order that some political pet should get a county office, then the editor of the Herald would be the same kind of a democrat as the editor of the St. Cloud Times. One of the most spectacular contests is that between Asher Murray and Willian Dower for representative from Todd, Wa dena and Hubbard counties. Dow- er has gained some strength by reason of the fact that Murray was an active supporter of Collins * | but the latter i very strong and is making a great fight. Catarrh Cannot be Cured by local applications, as they can not reach the seat of the disease. Catarrh is a blood or censtitu- tional disease, and in order to cure it you must take internal remédies. Hall’s Catarrh Cure is taken internally,and acts directly ontheblood and mucous surfaces. Hall’s Catarrh Cureis not a quack medicine. It was prescribed by one of the best physicians in this country for years and is a regu- lar prescription. It is composed of the best tonics known, com- bined with the best blood puri- fiers, acting directly on the muc- ous surfaces. The perfect com- bination of the two ingredients is what produces such wonder re- sults in curing Catarrh. Send for testimounials free. F.J.CuENEY & Co., Props., Toledo, O.

Kirmse, a member of the bridge gang working near Little- port was taken suddenly ill Thursday night with cramps and a kind of cholera. His case was so severe that he had tohave the members of the crew wait upon him and Mr. Gifford was called and consulted. He told them he had 2 medicine inthe form of Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy that he thought would help him out and accordingiy several doses were administered with the result that the fellow was able to be around next day. The incident speaks quite highly of Mr. Gifford’s medicines.—Elkader, lowa, Ar- gus. This remedy never fails. Keepit. in your howme, it may save life. For sale at Barker’s Drug Store.
