SUBSCRIPTION---$5.00 PER ANNUM With its usual enterprise, the Bemidji Pioneer was Big Fork Compa: the first daily to bring us the president’s message. The Crookston Journal speaks right out in meeting, and challenges the its assertion that its contemporary, Crookston to prove the Times has a larger circulation; and tke Journal has put up real, good money to back its challenge and prove that the journal circula- tion is the larger. Whatan elegant opportunity for the circulation liar to get in his work. Those fellows ought to come over here and “behold how blessed it is for brethren to dwell together in unity.” We’re not rowing among ourselves, in Bemidji. OBSERVATIONS. Times, A boss girl always makes a boss wife- Many attempts to benefit the peo- ple simply annoy the people. Sympathy is like blonde hair. It iseasy to tell when !t is artificial. Deny it if you please, but the facts are that everybody is looking for a shade the best of it. If our happiness depends upon being with interesting people how miserable most of us would be. When you size up something to be a bluff, and when it proves to be the real thing, what a jolt it gives you! Women’s ideas of a pretty “fig- ure” vary. A thin woman usually says of 2 woman as thin as herself that she has a beautiful figure, as a fat woman always says of a woman as fat as herself, that she has a mag- nificent figure. You can’t tell how is, opinions differ. HER CONDITION EXCELLENT Mrs. Alice Longworth Operated on for Appendicitis, Washington, Dec. 13.—Mrs, Allce Longworth, wife of Representative Nicholas Longworth and daughter of President Roosevelt, has been oper- ated upon for appendicitis., The op- eration, which was performed at the ‘White House by Dr. Finney of Johns Hopkins hospital, Baltimore, assisted by Dr. Sophie Nordhoff-Jung and Sur- geon General Rixey of the navy, was declared by Dr. Rixey to have been successful in every particular and to have left the patient In excellent con- dition. Dr. Rixey emphasized the timeliness of the operation, saying that the con- dition of the patient had been found during the operation to be exactly as predicted by the New York speclal- ists, who had sald as the result of a recent examination that the operation wag necessary and 'should be per- formed without delay.” “It was found not only that the op- eration should have been made,” sald Dr. Rixey, “but that the conditions for its successful accomplishent were ex- actly as they should be.” President Roosevelt left his office crowded with callers to remain near his daughter during the ordeal. Rep- resentative Longworth also was in close call, as were the members of the Roosevelt family. No Attempt to Recover Bodies. Bloomsburg, Pa., Dec. 12.—O0wing to the high water in the Susquehanna river and the terrific force of the cur- rent, no attempt has been made to re- cover the bodles of the seven men drowned when the Miflinville bridge collapsed. With''the flood as it ig at present any attempt to recover the bodles would be futile, and probably nothing can be done in that connec- tion for several days, ~ ,| Buffalo, New York, CONSIDERED AS FINAL President’s Reiteration in Oppo- sition to Third Term. CAUSES GOSSIP AT CAPITOL Senators and Congressmen Have Varl- ous Ideas of the Statement and Its Effect—Democrats Believe With- drawal Strengthens Their Party. ‘Washington, Dec. 13.—The rean- nouncement by President Roosevelt that under no clrcumstances will he be & candidate for re-election or ac- cept a third term was the subject of a great deal of discussion at the Capitol, probably more so in the house than in the senate. The senators, as a rule, expressed gratification that the pro- nouncement had come at last and a large majority of them remarked that they “knew it would be that way.” However, there were very few earnest discusslons over the statement and its effects. Senator Bourne, the sen- ate champion of the third term move- ment, arrived at the Capitol late and talked with very few senators in the short time he was about the chamber. Ho still believes that President Roose- velt will hear the command of the people. Whether he will obey or not is another question with Mr. Bourne. In one little senatorial group on the Republican side the belief was ex- pressed that the declaration of Mr. Roosevelt makes the nomination of Mr. Bryan by the Democrats pretty certaln and a bellet was guardedly hazarded by one Republican senator that he might possibly be elected. One of the Illinois senators remarked that the way was now cleared for Speaker Cannon to recelve the nom- ination. A number of senators ex- pressed thelr disgust that there should ever have been any question about the president’s sincerity when he an- nounced his Intentions in regard to a third term just after his election. “Every query on this subject since then has impugned the president as a teller of falsehoods,” said one senator, “and such action is certainly not giv- ing him fair treatment.” RESOLUTION IN HOUSE. Democratic Member Brings Up Presi- dential Statement. ‘Washington, Dec. 13,—Representa- tive Herbert Parsons of New York, who called at the White House, said that so far as he was personally con- cerned he had never needed a refuta- tion of the statement that the presi- dent would not be a candidate for re- election. He had always understood that to be the president’s position. However, he bellieved no argument would come from the reiteration at this time. Representeative Clayton of Alabama, chairman of the Democratic caucus, whose introduction last Monday of a resolution declaring against the policy of a third term for presidential in- cumbents was followed Wednesday by his statement that he was “awaiting the first parliamentary opportunity to call up that resolution for discussion on the floor” with the object of put- ting the Republican members on rec- ord and the minority members as well, has introduced the following resolu- tion: “Resolved, That the country is to be congratulated on the recent declara. tion of the president of the United States, affirming the wisdom of the CROSS AND NERVOUS. Bemidji Sufferers from Kidney Troubles Often Become very Irritable. Cross, irritable people—the sort who fuss and mope and worry over trifles—are not always to blame for the annoyance they give to others. Frequently these traits are but the effects of kidney poisons on brain and nerves, Uric acid that escapes the kidneys irritates nerve centers and vital organs—causes backache, - rheu- matic and neuralgic pains—keeps you languid, all tired out—leads to Bright’s disease and -diabetes Stop the trouble in the beginning with Doan’s Kidney Pills. 'Twill cure the kidners and remove the cause cf all these ills. Recom- mended by friends and neighbors in Bemidji, Mrs. Ella Barrett, lving on Sixth & American Sts., Bemidji, Minn., says: ¢‘After using Doan’s Kidney Pills I am well pleased with the results. At the time I began their use, I was very nervous and at times had dull pains in the small of my back accompanied by a dull aching across my kidneys. These organs did not seem to act ptoperly and caused me much discomfort. I decided to try a kidney remedy and procured & box of Doan’s Kidney Pills at the Owl Drug Store. In a short time I began to feel a great deal better, and am now much stronger and my energy hes returned. I have no hesitancy in recommending Doan’s Kidney Pills to others.” For sale by all -dealers.

Several of them were frank enough to express the opinlon that President Roosevelt could poll a larger Demo- cratic vote than any other candidate and their inference was that with the president absolutely out of the race the Democratic candidate would not only retain the vote of his own party, but would stand a better show of mak- Ing inroads upon the opposition. ROOSEVELT REITERATES. Under No Circumstances Would He Become a Candidate. ‘Washington, Dec. 13.—President Roosevelt is weary with the constant use of his name by press and poli- ticlans as a candidate for the nomina- tion for the presidency by the Repub- lican national convention at Chicago next June. He has repeatedly said in private conversation that he has not changed the decision which he made on the night of the last presidential election. Yet the busy gossips con- tinue to use his name. Now he has reiterated the words he employed three years ago and adds the statement that he does not intend to change the decision which he then announced, that “under no circum- stances” will he “be a candidate or accept another nomination.” NOT REGARDED WITH FAVOR Proposal of Canadian Pacific to Buy an American Road. New Haven, Conn., Dec. 13.—The fact is confirmed here that the Cana- dlan Pacific railroad has made the offer to buy the shares of the Boston and Maine railroad which are held by the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad company. It is understood also that the fed- eral authorities at Washington have been consulted with regard to the offer and do not regard the negotia- tions with favor. BRIGF LiTS OF NEWS. Dr. Ole B.
