No. The Chiropractic and the Osteopath both aim to put in place that which is out of place, to right that which is wrong; but the Path- ology Diagnosis, Prognosis and Movements are entirely different. One of my patients, Mr. W. A. Casler, has taken both Chiropractic and Osteopoth treatments. The Chiropractic is ten times more direct in the adjustments and the results getting health ten times more thor- ough in one t.enf.h of the time than an Osteopath would.

HITCHCOCK. snrered n the postoffice at Bamld!l mnn. - as second class matte: ‘| Official ‘Paper Village of Bemidji SUBSCRIPTION $5 PER YEAR History of Wisconsin. THE election of Robert M. La Follette as United States Senator from Wisconsin is another mile- stone in the steady progress to- ward reform in the Bager state. " For ten years and more a steady conflict has been waged _|between two distinct factions' in the republican party in Wiscon- sin; during the latter half of this period the tide of success has set strongly toward the younger ele- ment— an element which declar- ed that the state must be freed from corporateinfluences. Gov- ernor La Follette has been the leader of this faction and his election as governor last Novem- ber was the most pronounced success that the new school has won over the old school. His election as United States senator accentuates this victory. Governor La Follette declares however that he will not accept the senatorship unless legislation to which he is pledged is enacted before March 4 by the the Wis- coasin legislature. Although La Follette has thrice been elected governor of Wisconsin the stal- warts have thus far been able to thwart all his attempts to secure the legislation he has promised the people of the state. It now seems that he has the whip in hand and that his long fight for “reform’’ legislation wilf at last be successful. La Follette’s victory is practic- ally complete, but we venture to predict that it does not mean the wiping out of the stalwart faction or the undoing of Senator Spoon- er, who is a great man of whom Wisconsin is justly proud. There will be mutual concessions and the republican party in Wiscon- sin will present the front once mere. The Stephens Brainage Bill The state has thus far spent less than one hundred thousand dollars reclaiming state swamp lands and the value of these lands ‘have been increased, according to the report of State - Engineer Ralph, from two to tenfold. This would seem to be épret,t.y profit- able investment for the state. At .| the same time private lands have been enormously benefited, and| the very fact that the state was undertaking to draio its swamp lands, has set the counties at work. In Polk county over 100 miles of ditches have been dug by the county and the same is true of Red Lake, Norman and Marshall counties in a lesser de- gree. Where the state has spent a dollar the people of the:north- ern counties have spent ten. It is right, and it is also a mat- ter of good business policy, that the state appropriate a libaral sum for the continuance of the work of the state drainage com- mission. Senator Stephens bill calls for the appropriation of $150,000 for the years 1905 and 1906 ‘and this amount is little enough. The state has got to do this work and the larger the a.}i- propriation the sooner the state will reap the benefits. The necessity of drainage is no longer a matter for discussion and the Stephens bill should be passed at once. ‘WHATEVER the ills nhat afflict you,-you can be thankful that you are not a member of the statute revision commission.
