SUBSCRIPTION---$5.00 PER ANNUM It is considerable pleasure to note the successes of some of the young men who have in the past been in the employ of the Pioneer, and who are engaged in | business, on their “own hook.” Evan Carson, until a few weeks ago, forman of the Daily Pioneer, | is now manager of the Shevlin Advocate. When Evan took hold | of the paper it was pretty much! of a weakling. the proposition by the .‘{orelock™ | as it were, and the Advocate now ; | | | teems with local news: and there | is a column of editorial that bristles with individuality, aad which is written in that aggres. sive style for which Mr. Carson is noted. Here’s success, van. We are watching you. | Absolute prohibition of the use or sale of cigarettes Is the aim of a Dbill | introduced in the house by Andrew Miller of Duluth.

SENDS MESSAGE TO STATE SENATE CRITICISES THE WORK OF THE OFFICIAL AND RECOMMENDS HIS REMOVAL. Albany, N. Y., Feb. z1.—Governoi Hughes has sent to the senate a spe- clal message recommending the re- moval from office of State Superin- tendent of Insurance Otto Kelsey. In making the recommendation the gov- ernor says: “With respect to life insurance New York is easily the most important Jurisdiction in the United States, if not in the world, and the vast inter- ests involved imperatively require, and it should be a point of honor for the state to maintain, a fearless and efficient administration of its supervis- ing department commanding the con- fidence of the people. “I recommend Mr. Kelsey's removal because as head of this department led to perform obvious duties of the first importance and his neglect has demonstrated his unfitness for the trust confided to him.” Governor Hughes concedes that there was a greai burden of work on Superintendent Kelsey and declares that he does not seek to impugn his integrity. “But,” said the governor, “the more important the work of the department the greater the need of making it effi- cient and trustworthy. The assiduity of a departmental chief in attention to ing of laws will amount o nothing if they are not executed. Pro- visions for publicity will not avail if the supervision of the state be feeble and inadequate.” The message was read and referred without debate to the committee on judiciary of which Senator Davis of Buffalo is chairman. DIFFERENCES STILL EXIST. Vatican Not Satisfied With Proposed Church Contracts. Rome, Feb. —The action of the French chamber of deputies in voting to support the government's policy in the matter of separation of church and state has not modified the Vatican’s attitude. It is stated that “if a large majority of the notorious ememies of the church approved M. Briand’s pol- icy 'this does not reassure the Vatican in rezard to the proposed contracts for the lease of the churches, which con- tain many points difficult to arrange.” The keynote to the situation in France is sounded by the Nouvelliste of Lyons, France, a Catholic organ, which openly accuses Mgr. Amiette, the coadjutor bishop of Paris, of carrying out the negotiations with the prefect of the Seine, M. de Selves, in a manner which conveys the idea “that they may lead to the capitula- tion of the church to M. Briand’s pol- icy.” As the statement of the Nouvel- liste reflects the views of the head- quarters of the French church it shows danger of on among the French episcopacy if the n tations continne to be entrusted to Mgr. Ami- ette. BILL TO PROMOTE MATRIMONY. Legislator Would Tax All the Unmarried. Jefferson City, Mo., Feb. %!.-State Senator Thomas E. Kinney has intro- duced a bill designed “to preserve and propagate the human species in Mis- souri.” It provides for a poll tax of $10 a year on all unmarried persons who are twenty-five years old and over. The bill also provides for the creation of a “state matrimonial com- missioner empowered to appoint six deputies, three from each sex, who shall prepare and compile a list of all unmarried women and men in this state.” If the unwed earn more than $20 a week nothing short of a medical cer- tificate of unfitness will satisfy the matrimonial commissioner. The bill provides also that any per- son who seeks to evade matrimony or the poil tax by some subterfuge “shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and upon conviction shall be subject to a fine of not less than §10 nor more than $100 and imprisonment in the county jail of not less than ten nor more than thirty days, or both such fine and imprisonment.” Missouri Said to Have Left the State. Columbus, O., Feb. :1—A warrant has been sworn out for the arrest of M. F. Bramley, head of the Cleveland Trinidad Paving company, in connec- tion with the board of public service bribery scandal in this city. The po- lice are now looking for Bramley, but a telegram from Cleveland says he has gone to Colorado. Dies on Sweetheart’s Grave. Joliet, Ill, Feb. i«—Fred Foster, after weeping over the grave of his sweetheart, Estella Costello, at Mount Olivet cemetery, committed suicide by taking poison. He was discovered by the sexton, but died a few minutes later. The young woman died about a month ago. Columbia River Thrice Named. The Columbia river has had three names. It was first called the Oregon. Afterward It was called the St. Roque, but when it was discovered by Robert Gray In 1792 it was given the name of his vessel, the Columbia, in place of the two floating appellations, Oregon and St. Roque. According to Whitney, the original name of the river was the Orejon, “big ear” or “one that has big ears,” the allusion being to the custom of the Indians who were found in its region of stretching their ears by bor- ing them and crowding them with or- naments, WOMAN SUFFRAGE BILL. Text of Measure Before the British Parliament. London, Feb. Y1.—A dozen woman suftragists were released from prison during the day and subsequently were entertained at luncheon by their col- leagues. Much enthusiasm was aroused by the reading of congratula- tory messages from the National Wo- wan’s Suffrage association at Chicago and from the Woman's Suffrage leagues of New York. The text of Sir Charles Dilke’s bill to enfranchise women and remove wo- men’s disabllitles was fssued during the morning. = It .provides for en- franchising every registered man and woman of full age residing in the area where an election, either parlia- mentary or local, is being held and that nobody shall be disqualified by sex or marriage from being elected to either house of parliament, or to local bodies, or from exercising any public functions whatever. It is similar to the bill which Sir Charles introduced last year and which was defeated. VICTIM OF NUMEROUS SHARPERS Connecticut Defaulter Bit at All Kinds of Games. New Britain, Conn., Feb. v4.—That William F. Walker, defaulting treas- urer of the Savings bank of New Brit- ain, was a victim of all kinds of sharp- ers and disreputable brokers is assert- ed in a statement made public by W. H. Hart of the bank’s committee which was appointed to straighten out the bank’s affairs. Mr. Hart denied that $180,000 of the bank’s securities had been located, but admitted that a few had been traced. “I can’t give you names of people or individual stocks or schemes,” con- tinued Mr. Hart, “but I can say safely that Walker was in all kinds of wild cat speculation and associated with a lot of sharpers. We have followed no end of clues that led to this end. He dealt in Wall street through disreputa- ble brokers and was caught in many other ways.” SENATOR BAILEY ON STAND DEVOTES MOST OF HIS TIME TO CRITICISING THE MEN WHO OPPOSE HIM. Austin, Tex., Feb. 2. —United States Senator Bailey was on the stand for the greater part of the morning in the legislative investigation. The sub- stance of his testimony was criticism of Attorney General Davidson and the presecution against him in general. The committee itself objected to re- ports in circulation that they were in a conspiracy to effect the arrest of H. Clay Pierce. AUTOMOBILE MAIL CARS. Miiwaukee the First City to Install the System. Milwaukee, Feb. Z:i—The installa- tlon of new automobile mail cars, which were placed in service during the day, gives to Milwaukee the dis- tinction of being the first city in the United States to have an adequately equipped automobile system for the coliection of mails. The cars are con- structed on the plans of regular rail- way mail cars and are strong, com- pact, serviceable and capable of high speed if necessary. The length of the car is fifteen feet over all; width, five feet; height, nine feet; wheel base, 112 inches. At the front is the driver’s seat, protected from the weather by a glass front. There is sufficient space inside the cars for a man to sort letters into racks and mail bags en route to the vostoffice. The new system will in- sure many additional collections, espe- cially in outlying districts. STICKNEY 1S ALARMED. Fears Railroads May Be Forced Into Bankruptcy. Chicago, Feb. #1.--The intimation from the Wisconsin railroad commis- sion in its report fixing the passenger fares at 232 cents a mile that a reduc- tion in freight rates i1s imminent caused some uneasiness among rail- road traflic officials and caused Pres- ident A. B. Stickney of the Chicago Great Western to advance the query: “Are we riding for a fall?” “The railways of the United States carried in 1905 a total of 28,706,960 hundredweight of freight,” said Pres- ident Stickney. “A reduction of 63 mills a hundred pounds, regardless of the distance hauled, would have re- duced the net income of the companies $14,566.9¢ more than the aggregate amount of their dividends. “If apparently insignificant redue- tions are made by legislation and the railroad companies are thus forced into bankruptey what would happen to the merchants, the manufacturers and the banks of the country?” Ancther Victim of Wreck. New York, Feb. i1.—Elsie Sniffen, aged twelve years, of Englewood, N. J., who was injured in the wreck of the White Plains express on the Har- lem division of the New York Central railroad on Saturday night, is dead at the Fordham hospital, bringing the number of fatalities from the accident up to twenty-two. Demand an Eight-Hour Day. New York, Feb. 1—By a referen- dum vote the members of district No. 15 of the International Association of Machinists, which takes in Greater New York, Jersey City and Hobolken, have decided on making a general de- mand for the eight-hour workday, which will affect 15,000 machinists. Passengers Removed Safely. Los Angeles, Cal, Feb. 6.—The steamship National City, bound for Redondo wharf with a load of railway ties, ran ashore at Hermosa Beach during a fog. The half dozen passen- gers were removed safely. There Yet. Scott—My wife’s mother has visited us only once in five years. Mott— That isn’t bad. When do you expect her to pay her second visit?

HOPKINS AMENDMENT IS ADOPTED SENATORS DECIDE THAT A TWO- THIRDS VOTE 18 REQUIRED } TO UNSEAT HIM. ‘Washington, Feb. !*.—The senate has refused to unseat Reed Smoot of Utah. The first vote was taken on the Hopkins amendment to the Smoot res- olution that a two-thirds vote of the senate s required to unseat. It was agreed to—49 yeas to 22 nays. Senator Carmack offered as a sub- stitute a resolution providing that Senator Smoot shall be “expelled” from the senate. If adopted it would have displaced the committee resolu- tion. It was defeated by a vote of 27 yeas to 43 nays. The committee resolution to unseat Senator Smoot was then defeated by a vote of 28 yeas to 42 nays. Two- thirds of the senate would have been required to adopt the resolution. Senator Smoot absented himself from the chamber during the voting and at its conclusion was given a re- ception in the Republican cloakroom. Practically all the senate and the house participated. Those who shook his hand included a number of sen- ators who voted against him. The vote on the resolution closes a contest against the senator lasting three years. ASSAILS MORMONISM. 8enator Hansbrough Favors Unseat- ing of Smoot. Washington, - Feb. ?I. — Senator ‘Hansbrough of North Dakota support- ed the resolution depriving Senator Smoot of his seat and in a brief speech vigorously assailed Mormonism. The Mormon managers, he sald, had sent Reed Smoot to represent the church in the senate, thus furnishing “another sample of brazen effronte.y in defying the country’s sentiment rel- ative to the obnoxious institution for which they are responsible.” In no ordinary community of the country would a Mormon church be ‘welcomed. In like manner the institu- tion should not seek admission to the senate until it had purged itself of the qualities which, according to Mr. Hansbrough, made it a “menace to civilization” and at the same time take its place among the religious societies against which the moral sentiment of the country was not in revolt. The North Dakota senator urged the “unwritten law, embraced in the in- herent duty of every citizen of the republic to defend the written instru- ment from the assaults of those who would destroy it,” as the best means of coping with the Mormon problem. He. announced himself in full accord with religious toleration, but had no sympathy with members of “an oath- bound organization arraying them- selves in the livery of heaven in order to gain control of temporal affairs.” The Mormon scheme of salvation, he said, was based on success in attaining political control. Ne better time than the present, he concluded, could be chosen to render a verdict against the church. SQUADRON AT HONOLULU. ‘Thousands Greet Japanese Fleet Upon Ite Arrival. Honolulu, Feb. ‘The Japanese training squadron, onsisting of the cruisers Matsushima, Hashidate and Itsukushima, has arrived here Hun- dreds of sampans went outside the harbor to greet the squadron. Amer- ican and Japanese flags are floating everywhere. Five thousand Japanese in holiday attire were on the harbor front awaiting the arrival of the squadron. After remaining a week the squad- ron will proceed to Australia. RATIFICATION EXPECTED. Senate Committee Authorizes Report on Santo Domingo Treaty. ‘Washington, Feb. §2.—The senate committee on foreign relations has au- thorized a favorable report on the treaty with Santo Domingo relative to the collection of the revenues of that country by Americans. The action was taken after a very brief sitting and Senator Lodge, who has the treaty in charge, expressed the opin- ion that there would be mo factious opposition to its ratification by the senate. Ruled Out on Point of Order. Washington, Feb. @.—The house during the day resumed consideration of the postoffice appropriation bill. The amendment offered by Represen- tative Goebel of New York increasing by 20 per cent the salaries of all clerks employed in postoffices in the first and second classes went out on a point of order made by Mr. Over- street. Lost With Twelve on Board. - North Sidney, N. S., Feb. xz.—Let- ters received here from Grand Banks, N. F., report that the schooners Mollie M. of St. Johns, N. F., and the Tubal Jaine have been given up for lost with the twelve men who were on board. The ' East Side. “A city’s slums,” said a globe trotter, “are always in its eastern quarter. I wonder why? Take New York. Its east side is its slum side. So it is with London. The east end is the slum end. Of Philadelphda, Chicago, Canton and Madrid the same thing holds good, as I know from personal experience. The only possible ground I can give for a city's slums being invariably in its eastern quarter is that this quarter is the one that is exposed to the harsh and unpleasant rigors of the east wind.” S - FRIEND TO FRIEND The personal recommendations of peo ple who have been cured of coughs and colds by Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy have done more than all else to make it a staple article of trade and commicrce over a large part of the civilized world.
