Judge Flaherty of the district court has decided that the law tax- ing all liouor license collections two per cent for the purpose of establish- ing and maintaining an inebriate farm is valid. The case was brought by the city of Morris, which refused to pay the tax on the ground that the law under which it was attempt- ed to be collected was unconstitu- tional. Very few of the cities of the state have paid the tax, as they have been awaiting the decision in the Morris case. There is nothing to do now but to pay or appeal the case to the supreme court, and it is not known as yet what action will be taken.

FORTY CENTS PER MONTH GELEBRATION COMMITTEE MET LAST EVENING Plan 0Id Fashioned Celebration.---Full Program to Be Arranged Next Friday Evening. A meeting of the committees, look- ing after the proper celebration of the Fourth of July in this city, was held last evening in the council chambers. ' Mayor Pogue presided, and C. Christenson, of the News, officiated as secretary. The committee on advertising, composed of C. Christenson, J. E. Maloy and A. G. Rutledge, were instructed to get out the advertising matter and boost the celebration. The committee on finance was auth- orized to begin soliciting and the one on arrangements was told to go ahead with their work. It is in- tended by the latter to make acqua- tic sports an especially good feature of the day. Hon. Halvor Steenerson of Crook- ston and Hon. C. W. Stanton, judge of the Fifteenth judicial district, will be the speakers of the day, with the possible addition of W. M. Savage, the great horseman of Minneapolis. An appropriation for a base-ball game was made and the matter was placed in the hands of John Wash- burn, the managér of the city team. He intends to s€cure a game for that day with Brainerd, if possible. Another meeting of the different committees will be held next Friday|* evening in the council chambers. The Man or: the Square. Human nature, is a study to deep for me. Yesterday I was going down the street:when I heard one of our business men kick because the owners of certain pieces of property did not have it cleaned up early in the spring; and I did not go a block hefore a member of the board of hea]th complained that the aforesaid party did not clean up his back yard when he was ordered to do so by the board. But some people are born to kick, Speaking of the board of health reminds me that thisis a body of officers who have a whole heap of work to do and get nothing but kicks and cusses in return for it. The chairman of the board of health holds a more important office than the mayor. The general good health of the entire community depends upon how well the board of health does its duty and how well the citizens obey their orders. The man who will disobey the orders of the board of health is not fit to live in any town. If he refuses to clean up his yard when ordered to do so he should be dealt with according to law. A man can stumble over a broken sidewalk, wade through the mud on rainy days and in fact, put up with any and all of these little inconveniences without a murmur, but when it comes to seeing filthy y3rds near him, or in the community, he thinks some pretty hard thoughts, too. This year there is considerable work for the citizens of Bemidji to do in the way of beautifying their premises, cleaning up front yards, sowing grass seed, setting out trees and fixing up beautiful flower beds so that the visitors who visit our city may be greeted by the pretty sight of beautiful lawns and clean and comfortable looking homes. Every citizen who owns real estate N | within the city limits should keep their .premises neat and trim at all times. During the month of June Bemidji will entertain as her guests, 5,000 Elks and their friends, and one of the best ways to advertise our town is for each citizen to do his share in making his home and surroundings beautiful. The opinion that our visitors have of us at this time will go a long ways towards advertising the beautiful surroundings of Bemidji. Every one should com- mence as early in the spring as possible and plan a more beautiful .and a better Bemidji each year. My friend "Bxlly” Squiers of Blackduck was in town yesterday and he is the same good-natured and jovial soul he always was, but I did not start out with the inten- tion of eulogizing Mr. Squires. What I did want to say was that he has been a resident of this section of the country for a long while and that he never has heard Bemidji talked of as a summer resort as it is today. He says “Be- midji people should do all they can towards the improvement of their property by caring for and keeping neater yards, better lawns and the streets in front of their property in a clean and neater appear- ance. People who travel, seeking your town as a summer resort, notice these things and your town will profit more by having it appear neat and clean than in any other wy.” Speaking of newspaper business, a friend of mine, whose intentions were undoubtedly good, startled me the other day, by informing me that I had made a grammatical error in my issue, but I have not lost any sleep over it. It is a fact well known among the newsyaper boys that few people realize the disadvant- ages under which the editor gets out his paper. Some people think all he has to do is to hustle up the items and furnish “copy” for his compositors, but if my well-meaning friend ever gets into the newspaper business he will find that the editor has to get up at 4 o’clock in the morning, make the early train to see if John Jones, or “Bert Brown is ‘going to the city.” Then he sneaks to the office and writes a few lines, to give his compositors a start until he gets back from breakfast. On his way to breakfast he gets his mail and there are several bills that want to be paid. He has to hustle around to collect some of the old bills of two or three standing to do it, so, after breakfast, he starts out. He CROOKSTON’S BEST PICKED TEAM TO PLAY TOMORROW Good Gzme. Washburn Win. The Crookston City League base- ball team, managed by W. S. Lycan of Crookston, has decided to try con- clusions with the Bemidji nine and the game will -be called tomorrow afternoon at 3:30 on the diamond. This bunch is the very fastest that Crookston could pick out from her numerous city teams and it is expected that they will give Bemidji a run for her money. local Manager W. S, Lyean of the Crookston Team Promises says Locals Will Play to Game Calleq for 3:30. However, the local team is in good condition and the boys are deter- mined to make up for the loss of the Park Rapids game last Sunday. Emerson will not be here tomorrow, so Baumgartner will pitch, with Louis Roy picking ’em off the bat. Following is the line-up as given by Manager Washburn: Louis Roy, c; - Baumgartner, p; Beale, ss; Riddell, 1b; Bush, 2b; Barker, 3b; Collins or Shiner, Ib; Shaw, cf; and Hazen, rf. _—— spends a half day collecting ninety cents, and goes home late to dinner. This means that his wife wants to known why he can’t get home on time. Then she gets fussy and the editor quietly eats his dinner and sneaks out in a bad frame of mind. He gets into the office and here the foreman wants to know why John Jones hasn’t brought in the change for his ad, while the intelligent compositors have been taking things easy and now begins to shout for copy. The editor’s brain becomes befuddled and he siarts out to grind out a little “stuff.” Just thenm, in comes the usual hanger-on and asks him what he thinks of the latest political fight, and wants to” know who next fall’s candidates are; and in a short time, a second gentleman of leisure comes in, and, in a short time, they are at it and the argu- ment waxes warm. The compositors keep shouting for copy, and the " this week. Sir Bertram de Dacey, the Robin, a country lad Arrbella, Lady in Waiting Rollynfini s Molly........ = Dolly..........

After supper he thinks he will come down to the office to read a few proofs and get some extra copy. He enters the office, pulls down the shades and goes to work. In a short time there is a knock at the door; the knock is repeated and the party outside calls his name. He opens the door and in stalks the visitor, wants to borrow a paper to read before he goes to bed; then the visitor sits down and stays until 10:30. When the visitor is about to leave he say to the editor he will come in sometime in the next few days and pay the back subscriptions he owes. This puts the editorin a better humor and he returns home in a happy frame of mind.
