Before it becomes too late, some scribe should trace the decline of the art of swearing. The west we still have with us, but our three- bottle ancestors would find language the country over milder than the milk of babes. The oath of history, thunder in the clouds of wrath, has whispered down to euphuism. Even President Roosevelt, who was priv- ileged by San Juan to cuss like-a trooper, is confessed to say nothing more sulphurous than “By George.” This is nearly angelic and provokes respectful wonder. Had he nothing else to murmur when he was flung from his car in a collision? Did he bust bronchos on “By George?” The art of swearing was abused of course. It became violent and diabolic, fantastic and orotund. It soiled its skirts in vulgarity, grov- eled in blasphemy. But the condi- ment of speech need not be despised. A-little pepper savors the vernacular —"“By George.” Editor Pease of the Anoka Union, who is affectionately known to the newspaper boys of the state as “Granny,” and who has been one of the leading journalists of Minne- sota since the memory of we young- er fellows runneth not to the con- trary, says of the “third estate:” “Fifty years in Minnesota and forty-six of them spent in a printing office. Made some enemies and some friends. Newspaper men sel- dom make an enemy, and those only political. ~ At best newspaper work is of the strenuous kind, and editors are doomed to work. Always plenty to do around a print shop. But there isa fascination in the work hard to resist, and men fol- low the profession when others offer better and more profitable oppor- tunities. Once a publisher, always a publisher, holds good in this, per- haps more in this, than in any other.” DOINGS AMONG BEMIDJI'S GCOUNTRY NEIGHBORS Live Correspondents of the Pioneer Write the News From Their Localities.

Hill Says the Government Must Assist the Railroads. LATTER'S CREDIT IS RUINED Unable to Eorcow Necessary Funds to Extend Mileage and Furnish Addi- tional Equipment Demanded by the Country’s Business. New York, June 14—That the na- tional government will be forced to lend its credit to finance the needs of the railroads of the country was the statement made by James J. Hill in an interview here. “The public in its exasperation,” said Mr. Hill, “will demand that the railroads shall lay certain rails and provide more cars. The railroads will answer that they cannot; that their credit has been ruined. The govern- ment will be obliged to step in and lend its credit to supply this de- ficiency. The situation might lead tc Zovernment ownership of railroads. That would be the end of republican government. “The cause of the trouble is that the business of the United States has outgrown the capacity of its railroads and the railroads are in no position to catch up. If men cannot get their freight moved they must cease to pro-, duce it. Tt does not appear any easier for a railroad to get money now than it was a few months ago. I know of instances in Western cities where short term notes of some Eastern roads are being peddled around in $5,000 lots on a 6% to 7% per cent hasis. Railroads cannot increase their facilities underthese conditions. Dur- ing the past seven or eight months the railroads have raised something 1 $800,000,000. Has it gone to incre: facilities? - Not at all; most of it wi to pay off old bills.” Concerning the general business out- look Mr. Hill said: “There is a general slowing up in business. It appeared inevitable last fall; it came and I believe it will con- tinue. I don’t think it will hurt any- body, but that it exists there is no doubt.” ! Mr. Hill said his railroad lines had been troubled, as have other roads, by excessive breakage of steel rails. “The past spring and winter have been the worst on record for rail breakages,” said Mr. Hill. “It has been said that the evil could be remedied by the ex- clusive use of open hearth rails. It is our experience that the open hearth rails break worse than the Bessemer rails. What’s the matter? Too much prosperity. People are trying to make too much money. The plants are work- ing too hard and trying to do too much.” OWNED BY THE STANDARD Head of Ohio Oil Company Tells of Its Organization. Findlay, O., June 14.—Vice Presi- dent and General Manager Donnell of the Ohio Oil company of this city was the first witness of the day called by Prosecutor David in the Standard Oil company hearing. Mr. Donnell gave the orgznization of the Ohio Oil com- pany, stating that five shares were owned in this city, the rest being held by John D. Archbold of the Standard Oil company. Dividends were always paid stockholders by the treasurer of the Ohio Oil company, Mr. Donnell testified. The company’s connection with the Buckeye Pipe Line company was given and Mr. Donnell stated the independent oil producers had free use of the Buckeye telegraph line, During the cross-examination by Mr. Kline, counsel for the Standard Oil company, nothing gew was developed, the examination being conducted along statistical lines. WOMEN LEAD IN RIOTING. Compel “Kosher"” Meat Shops to Close Their Doors. Cleveland, June 14—With renewed and increased bitterness the meat war broke out again during the day in the Jewish section of this city. As on the previous day women led the oppo- sition to the purchase of meat at the increased prices. A crowd of several hundred women compelled many of the “kosher” shops to close their doors. Delivery wagons were held up and the meat in them thrown into the street by the irate women. Numerous arrests were made. George F. Baer Subpoenaed. Philadelphia, June 14.—Subpoenas in conection with the suit of the Unit- ed States government against the anthracite coal carrying roads were served by a United States marshal on George F.

It is be- lieved the stexmer struck ice and was damaged so that she began to fill, making: it necessary to run her ashore CAUSES OF DEPENDENCY. Qubject Discussed at Minneapolis Con- |- vention. Minneapolis, June ~14—“Relations Existing Between Defective Character and Dependence” was the subject of a paper read by W. H. McClain, man- ager of the St. Louis Provident asso- clation, before the national conference of charities and corrections now in session in Minneapolis. “Inefficiency, either voluntary or in- voluntary, may be stated as a cause, If not the cause, of dependency.

(-9 N AR R RIS R R BRI AR R PR RN AT voluntary ineficiency may be causeéd by environment, heredity or unjust social conditions; voluntary ineffi- ciency may be due to lack of will power. Intemperance, fostered by public license, is also the cause of much ineficiency. " “Yet it appears that drink leads to crime rather than poverty. It is well said that if every saloon, brewery and distillery were wiped out we would still have the poor with us. It is rather from the degenerate offspring of drunken parents that the ranks of poverty are recruited. “Improvidence, shiftlessness, Im- morality and ignorance should all be listed as causes of poverty and de- pendence. Perhaps the most powerful of these is immorality, which is; ac- ‘cording to Warner, more prevalent | than intemperance. Stupidity also plays its part as a cause of depend- ency. ~ 5 “We may conclude, therefore, that whatever the cause of dependence the relation of the dependent to society may be changed for the better by changing his location, his associates, his occupation or by improving his education, habits or personal appear- ance.” Statistics furnished the matter of discussion at the afternoon session.
