Oticial Paper Village of Bem'dii SUBSCRIPTION $5 PER YEAR Senator Clapp’s Position. SENATOR CLAPP'S speech ut ‘| Washington Monday night was a able plea for the direct or popu- lar election of the president and of senators. The senator maintained that the president is today nearer the people than are the legislative members of the government, Thatthepresidentis much nearer to the people than is the national senate is perfectly patent to all; the senate is steadly growing further and further from the people. The only remedy lies in the popular election of senators, a reform that must surely come, although it has been making headway very slowly. Senator Clapp’s incisive words show that the people of Minne- sota made no mistaice when they demanded his return to the sen- ate. It is no longer a matter of so much public concern,” said Sena- tor Clapp, “as to whether or not the president carries out the will of congress as it is whether con- gress carries out the will of the president in passing legislation that is urged and recommended by him,” If more senators recognized this fact it wculd be better for America. A WAVE of temperance reform seems to have swept over north- western Minnesota. Never in the history of this part of the state has local option been so generally resorted to or have the temperance people been so gen- erally successful. It will be in- teresting to obse1ve whether the local option law proves success- ful in these towns the coming year. From Bagley to Crooks- ton there will not be a saloon and up and down the Red River Val- ley numerous towns have ‘gone dry.” The success of the move- ment was quite unexpected and the saloon advocates are wonder- ing just what it means. BoSTON is joined to its bean pots. Scarce a baker’s dozen of the cultured Bostonese could be enticed to listen to Parisfal while the vaudeville houses were crow- ed to suffocation. Whereat Herr Conried is mightily mad and as- servated with much emphasis and many repetitions that there is no art in Boston—no, nothing but bean pots. THE latest is a lobster trust. Inasmuch as noone but a bloated trust bond holder is rich enough to eat lobsters, the lobster trust has our best riches. May it wax big and wax bigger and feed its self fat off its fellow trusts.

The bill was amended in several important particulars on the floor of the house, and the debate on the measure was at times dramatic.
