RUTLEDGE Business Manager Managing Edttor Tntered In the postoffice at Bemidjt. Minn., as decond class matter. SUBSCRIPTION---$5.00 PER ANNUM Personal experience leads us to believe that there is much that is true in the following article, taken | from an exchange: “It is not infrequent that news- papers find themselves unappreciated by the men whom they have favored by their support, column after column being published in their favor and yet such favors when the test comes, are unappreciated. When you find your home paper taking no interest in you or your success, when you find it keeping aggravatingly silent when you think the editor should be tearing his linen in your behalf, do not work yourself into a fever of anxiety as to the cause, but just ask yourself wherein you have placed the paper and its editor under obligations to use space and energy for you.” OBSERVATIONS. [By "Doc™] Every man has a right to keep his opinions to himself. Pleasures we anticipate seldom come up to the specifications. Fortunately there is seldom any need of brainin a love affair. Ever notice that shortly after destroying anything you find use for it. Sometimes a woman refuses to tell a secret because she doesn’t know it. It isn’t what a woman says, but how she looks when she says it, that counts, Did you ever hear of a coroner’s jury returning a verdict. of “killed by kindness.” Many self-made men look as if they might have been greatly im- proved with a little outside assist- ance. How angry the ringing of the telephone makes a woman when she is busy watching the actions of another woman from behind the window curtains! Our Language. An intelligent foreigner is said to have expressed himself after the fol- lowing fashion on the absurdities of the English language: “When I dis- covered that I was quick, I was fast; If I stood firm, I was fast; if I spent too freely, I was fast, and that not to eat was to fast, I was discouraged. But when I came across the sentence, ‘The first one won one §$1 prize,” 1 was tempted to give up English and learn some other language.” A Little of Everything. “The weather used.to be in four acts —spring, summer, autumn and win- ter.” “Well?” “But now nature seems to have gone into vaudeville.” — Louisville Courier- Journal. Live Furs. “Mamma, look!” éxclaimed Mary. “Those furs are just ke mine.” “Why, Mary, you have no furs,” re- plied the astonished mother. “Yes, I have,” said Mary, “and they are filled with kittens.”—School Educa- tion. A “Fine Old Woman.” During the evening a gentleman came to Mrs. Siddons and sald, “Mad- am, I beg your pardon for asking so rude a question, but in consequence of & wager allow me to ask your age.” Bhe replied, “Seventy-eight years old.” “Hang It,” sald he, “I have lost” And he abruptly went away. Mrs. Slddons immediately said, “Pup- py!” “Very true” I observed, “but why did you tell him you were 8o 0ld?” 8he replied, “Whenever a lady of an uncertaln age, as It is termed, Is asked how old she Is she had better add ten or more years to her age, for then the Inquirer goes away saying, ‘What a fine old woman!”—“Journals of Slr George Smart.” —_—— Foresight and Delicatessen, In Chicago Is a woman who com- bines the functions of caterer and trance medium, serving her customers With refreshment psychical or phys- feal, according to thelr wishes. Either she or the sign painter whom she employed must be a humorist, for her sign reads thus: “Madame Blank, caterer and trance medium. Grocerfes and Previsions.” Guaranteed Ghosts. “No intelligent person pays any at- tention to ghosts,” sald the dogmatic person. “Perhaps not,” answered Miss Cay- enne, “unless the ghost has been able to secure an Introduction from some psychic research society.”—Washing- e —— Water and Life. Of all the conditions preparatory to life the presence of water, composed of oxygen and hydrogen, is at once the most essential and the most worldwide, for if water be present the presence of other necessary elements 1s probably assured. If water exist, that fact goes bail for the ne tomperature, the gamut of life being coextensive with the existence of water as such. It Is so couscquentially, life being imposst- ble without water. Whatever the plan- et, this is of necessity true. But the absolute degrees of temperature with- tn which life can exist v according to the f the body, another of the ways in which mere size tells. On the earth 212 degrees I'. limits the range at the top and 32 degrees F. at the bot- tom in_the case of h water, 27 de- grees F. in the case of salt. On a smaller planet bLoth limits would be lowered, the top one the most. On Mars the boiling point would probably be about 110 degrees F. Secondly, from the general initial oneness of their constituents a planet that still pos- sesses water will probably retain the other substances that are essential to life—g: for the reason that water vapor is next to hydrogen and helium the lightest of them all, and solids be- cause their weight would still more conduce to keep them there. Water, | indeed, acts as a solution to the whole problem.—Professor Lowell’s “The Ev- olution of Life” in Century Magazine. Only an Office Boy. “If you want a ready-to-hand study In the downright cussedness of human nature unwarped,” said an insurance agent, “just watch the office boys’ in your own or any other place of busi- ness. In four cases out of five the thing will come out this way: “A new boy is engaged. He is meek and mild, apologetic of bearing and courteous of speech. He is apparently seeking an excuse for daring to make a living. He looks reproachfully at the head office boy, who orders him around in a rough, catch-as-catch-can style. Such rudeness pains him. “Note this boy a little later. His rude superior has resigned or been dis- missed, and he is now head office boy. Is he meek and mild, apologetic and reproachful? Say, he’s a worse young ruffian than his predecessor—bullyrags the newcomer, ignores the cuspidor, uses language not fit to print and comes dangerously uear ‘sassing’ his employer. He knows it all, and a lit- tle more. £ “There are exceptions, but they prove the rule.”—New York Globe. A Big Grasshopper. A geographical expedition which set out for Australia on an exploring and mapmaking tour had engaged a negro cook, who took great interest in every- thing he saw. While the party was en route a kangaroo broke out of the grass and made for the horizon with pro- diglous leaps, an ‘event that interested the colored gentleman exceedingly. “You all have pretty wide meadows hereabouts, I reckon,” he said to the native who was guiding the party. “Not any larger than those of other countries,” returned the guide most po- litely. “Well, there must be mighty power- ful ‘high grass roundabouts, heh?” he insisted. “Not that I know of,” replied the guide. “Why do you ask such odd questions?” “Why, I'll tell you, boss. I was think- In’ of the mighty uncommon magnitude of them grasshoppers.”—Kansas City Independent. An Artist's Ruse. A Roman cavalier commissioned a great artist to paint his portrait, no definite price being agreed upon. When the portrait was finished, the painter asked 100 crowns in payment. The highborn sitter, amazed at the demand, returned no more nor dared to send for his counterfeit presentment, whereup- on the artist hit upon the happy expe- dlent of first painting bars across the portrait, then affixing the doleful leg- end, “Imprisoned for debt,” and finally placing it In a prominent part of his studio, to which Roman nobles fre- quently resorted. Ere long a rich rela- tive came to the rescue and released his kinsman. N Newton’s Telescope. Newton’s telescope is a clumsy look- ing instrument, nine inches in length, two inches in aperture and capable of magnifying thirty-eight times. It was entirely made by Newton himself, who first exhibited it before the Royal so- clety in 1671, and more than 100 years later his successor in the presidency of the society laid before George III. Sir Willlam Herschel’s scheme for mak- ing a telescope on Newton's plan, to be forty feet in length and four feet In aperture.—Pall Mall Gazette. Financial Expedient. Shoeblack—-Shine, sir? Four sous? Passerby—No, thank you. Shoeblack— Two sous? Passerby—No. Shoeblack— TFor nothing, then? Passerby — All right, if you like. Shoeblack (after having finished one shoe)—It's 6 sous to clean the otber, sir.—Nos Loisirs. Kept Busy. One of the contemporary poets asks, “Where are the bright girls of the past?” Our own observation is that pome of them are administering cau- tious doses of paregoric to the bright girls of the future. Tender Hearted. Mrs. Muggins—My husband is to tender hearted to whip the children. Mrs. Buggins—Humph! My husband 1s so tender hearted that he can't even beat the carpet!

Barcelona, March 5.—Placards post- ed throughout Barcelona announcing that an attempt will be made upon the life of King Alfonso on his approach- g visit to this city March 12 have been torn down by the police, Republicans Carry Seattle. Seattle, Wash., March 5.—Returns indicate a plurality of from 8,000 to 4,000 votes for John F. Miller, Repub- lican candidate for mayor. The city council will be solidly Republican. Never a One Day President. The periodic assertion Is made that on Sunday, March 4, 1849, Senator Da- vid Rice Atchison of Missourl, who was then president pro tem. of the senate, was president of the United States “virtually.” He never was, “virtually” or otherwise. In 1798 congress enacted that in event of no president or vice president being ready to succeed the fivst office should devolve on the president of the senate and next on to the speaker of the house. The succession was changed in 1886. Now, Zachary Tay- lor and Millard Fillmore were in Wash- ington on March 4, 1849, It being Sun- day, they permitted an interregnum to follow until the next day. Mr. Atchi- son took no oath as president, and without taking such hé could not ex- ercise the office. Mr. Taylor could have taken the oath at any second subsequent to noon on March 4. No pompous inauguration is demanded. The chief justice need not administer the oath. Arthur took it in New York before Judge Brady at 2 a. m. and Mr. Roosevelt in Buffalo before United States Judge Hazel. The ‘“virtually” of Mr. Atchison Is visionary uuless by some bolt from the blue the elected officials had been re- moved.—Pittsburg Post. Glory Everywhere. A Methodist minister was much an- noyed by one of his hearers frequently shouting out during the preaching. “Glory!” “Pralse the Lord!” and the Hke. Though often reproved, the hap- py member persisted in~ expressing himself. One day the minister invited him to tea and, to take his mind from thoughts of praise, handed him a sci- entific book, full of dry facts and fig- ures, to pass the time before tea. Presently the minister was startled by a sudden outburst of “Glory!” “Halleluiah!” and “Praise the Lord!” “What is the matter, man?’ asked the minister. “Why, this book says the sea is five miles deep?” “Well, what of that?” “Why, the Bible says my sins have been cast into the depths of the sea. and if it is that deep I need not be afraid of their ever coming up again. Glory!” The minister gave up hopes of re- forming him. A Daring Escape. The annals of Sing Sing are full of daring escapes. A typical case was that of Pallister and Robhlf, two con- victed murderers. By frequent appeals they had headed off the day of their execution, and at length decided on escape at any cost—even that of life itself. Late one night Pallister called for a drink of milk, and as the officiai on duty opened the cell door to give it him he was seized, dragged in and overpowered. The desperado then locked the officer in the cell and, after securing his keys, released his com- rade Rohlf, when they in turn over- came and disarmed the second night watchman. This done, they offered re- lease to three more prisoners with whom they had made friends. These declined the doubtful benefit, however, whereupon the two murderers climbed the skylight, reached the boundary wall and dropped to liberty by the broad Hudson, which they crossed in a small boat—New York Tribune. . Up Two Stumps. Little Johnny was in the hablt of wanting more victuals put upon his plate than hé could eat. His papa de- cided to break him of the habit. One day as Johnny insisted upon being served until his plate was well filled his papa said, “Johnny, if I give you this you will have to.eat every bit of it or I will punish you.” Johnny prom- ised that he would, and bravely did the little fellow try to do so, but in vain. It was too much for him. He would try again and again and then look sorrowfully at his papa. Finally, laying down his fork, he said: “Papa, if you was me .which would you rather do, get a licking or bust?’ A Pleasant Change. “So you enjoyed Venice?’ said the traveler. “Yes,” answered Mr. Cumrox. “It was kind of pleasant, for a.change, to be robbed by a gondolier instead of a hack driver.”—Washington Star. FAVORED BY GRONNA. Bills Providing for Uniform Classlfi- cation of Grain. ‘Washington, March j.—Representa- tives of varfous chambers of com- merce and grain handling assocfations appeared before the house committee on interstate and foreign commerce to oppose the passage of bills provid- ing for a uniform -classification of grain and for export inspection by the federal government. Representative Gronna of North Da- kota spoke in favor of the bills. He said the grain growers of the West have little complaint to make against the local elevater men, but they suf- fered heavy loss from lack of a uni- form system of classification, backed by federal inspection, which would guarantee fair grading of grains at terminal or export points within the United States. Opponents of the bill set up the claim that grain inspection in inter- state commerce is not a function with- in the constitutional powers of con- gress. Alia Declared to Be 8ane. Denver, March 'i—Giuseppe Alia, the slayer of Father Leo Heinrichs, is declared absolutely sane in a report submitted to District Attorney A. Stidger by four experts in mental dis- eases who examined the prisomer for several hours. The physicians agreed that Alla has no mental delusions whatever and is above the average in intelligence and power of memdry. Negro Shoots Three Peraon;. Clarksburg, W. Va, March i— Frank Johnson, the negro murderer who took refuge in a barn on the Yates farm, nine miles from here, shot and wounded three persons. It Is not believed any are fatally injured. The barn in which the negro is defy- ing arrest is surrounded by 500. per- sons. OO ENDORSES THFT Republican State Convention Is Unanimous for Secretary. TARIFF REVISION FAVORED Platform Supposed to Embody Candi- date’s Views Declares for an Extra Session of the Next Congress to Consider the Subject. Columbus, O., March .—The Repub- Hean state convention, in session here, | unanimously endorsed Secretary of War Taft .for president, adopted a platform supposed to embody the sec- retary’s views on national issues and nominated a state #icket headed by Governor Harris, the present incum- bent. The proceedings were marked by the greatest harmony. The plank endorsing Secretary Taft for president follows: “Once more Ohio presenis to the nation a candidate for the presidency. In this convention, chosen upon a call for a primary election providing for a specific choice for president of the TUnited States, we send greetings to Republicans everywhere and announce with pride and devotion that every delegate here assembled is instructed for William H. Taft. He is the man equipped for the day and its duties. His conspicuous part in the achieve- ments of a Greater America, his broad knowledge and experience in law and government, his genius for world peace and advancement, his rare tact and sturdy courage and, more than all else, his steadfast devotion to the en- during policies of Republicanism makes Ohio’s candidate the ideal lead- er for 1908. We pledge him our ear- nest and lcyal support and instruct our delegates to the national conven- tion, this day chosen, to vote for Will- iam H. Taft until he is nominated.” Touches on National Issues. On national affairs the platform says, in part: “A brave and impartial enforcement of the law; commercial and industrial liberty; individualism as against so- cialism; competition as against mo- nopoly; government regulation as against government ownership; the promotion of the best interests of la- {bor and capital and the unflinching protection of both; compensation for injured employes of the government; the re-enactment in constitutional form of the employers’ liability act; a limitation in the exercise of the power of injunction in order to pre- vent ils abuse; a greater merchant marine and an adequate navy; gener- ous provision for the old soldiers, the vanishing forces of the republic; lib- eral appropriations for the improve- ment of waterways and harbors, in- cluding the Ohio river and the Great Lakes, in accordance.with a general plan which shall jamisomprehensive and just to all portions of the coun- &try; the organization of all existing { national public health agencies into & single national health department. “A revision of the tariff by a spe- cial session cof the next congress, in- suring the maintenance of the true principle of protection by imposing such customs duties as-will equal the difference between the cost of pro- duction at home and abroad, together with a reasonable profit, to the end that, without excessive duties, Amer- ican manufacturers, farmers, pro- ducers and wage earners may have adequate protection.” REFERRED TO COMMITTEE Tillman’s Resolution Regarding Col- lateral for Loans. ‘Washington, March —After a sharp debate, in which Senators Till- man, Hale, Aldrich and Depew par- ticipated, Senator Tillman’s resolution directing an inquiry into the charac- ter of collateral deposited to secure loans made by New York banks was referred to the committee on finance. Senator Depew objected to confining the inquiry to New York banks and Mr. Tillman said he was willing to have it extended to all cities in which there were stock exchanges. He spoke of the New York Exchange as the principal “gambling hell” in the coun- try and Mr. Depew defended New York as a business center, saying even South Carolina would have suf- fered if that state had not been able to obtain help from New York. Telegraphers Claim 2 Victory. San Francisco, March . .—A compro- mise was effected by stipulation be- tween the attorneys for the Southern Pacific Railway company and the Or- der of Railway Telegraphers and the case affecting the questions at issue, which was taken to the United States court of appeals from the United States circuit court, was withdrawn. The compromise measure is to be ef- fective from Feb. 21, 1908. The teleg- raphers claim to have gained their poiat. Many Telegraph Offices Closed. New Orleans, March .—The nine- hour law affecting railroad telegra- phers caused about 25 per cent of the Southern Pacific telegraph offices in Louisiana to be closed. This was the announcement of General Superin- tendent Paul of the Louisiana lines, who safd that since the offices affect- ed are usually closed in the summer no great inconvenience is expected from the present closing. MORE ARRESTS ARE MADE Chicago Police Continue to Round Up Alleged Anarchists. Chicago, March ' .—Continuing their efforts to unravel the supposed plot to assassinate city officials, which led to the attack upon George M. Shippy, chief of police, Monday morning, the Iocal police have arrested two more men who: are alleged to be anarchists. The prisoners, Charles Yaniatis and William Stadlweiser, were taken in different parts of the city and each denjed knowledge of the plans of 2 & PR — £ Lazarus ‘Averbuch to Kkill Shippy. - The arrest of Yaniatis, which took Dlace in the Ghetto district, was made on {information given to Assistant Chief of Police Schuettler by investi- gators for the White Hand society, an organization formed some months ago to combat the activity of the Black Hands. A complete list of suspected Italian anarchists now resident in the city has been furnished by the society. Stadlweiser was arrested because he was unable to give a policeman a satisfactory account of himself. When taken to the police station a revolver was found in his possession and he was held on a charge of carrying con- cealed weapons, while efforts are be- ing made to trace his supposed con- nection with anarchistic societies. Lazarus Averbuch, the man who at- tempted to assassinate Chief of Police Shippy and was himself slain, was one of the body of men who called upon Corporation’ Counsel Brundage sev- eral weeks ago to secure permission for the parade of the “unemployed.” This permission was denied because it was believed it would bring about a clash between the “reds” and the po- lice. Harry Shippy, son of the police offi- clal, who was badly wounded while assisting his father to overcome the anarchist, is declared by physicians at the Augustana hospital to have passed a restful night. Despite the serious nature of his wounds the young man is said to be improving and to have good chances for ultimate recov- ery. Why We Deserve Your Confidence The Rexall formulas have never been secvet. We: have always known them ourselves and have given them to thousands of customers. Right here is where Rexall Remedies have always done more to protect you than is even now required by the Pure Food and Drug Law. You only know the dangerous drugs in other remedies—the rest of their formulas are still secret. You have always known coerything in every Rexall Remedy. No Rexall Remedy is a “cure-all’—there are 800 different remedies—one for each human ill —the most reliable and successful remedy for that ill proven by years of experience. We have sold these Rexall Remedies upon the squarest plan on which merchandise was ever sold. We have guaranteed to return the money to every purchaser who came back with the empty bottle or package and said that he or she was not satis- fied—and we've never failed to live up to this guarantee. The Pure Food Law did not necessitate any change in Rexall formulas —on the contrary it has set the stamp of approval upon them. Best of all, you can actually prove that Rexall Reme- dies are unchanged. You Zzew their formulas four years ago, and youll find them the same today ! Don’t the Rexall Remedies deserve your con- fidence? Wouldn't you more readily trust a man whom you had proved to be naturally hon- est, than one who was honest because he had to be? You know that Rexall Remedie* have been voluntarily manufactured and sold for four years in the very way that the law now declares to be the only 7ig/t way. icestry.
