b B WES WRIGHT .Candidate for R.epublican’ 'Nomination for ‘Sheriff, Primaries Sept. 15. I hereby announce myself as a candidate for the republican nomination for sheriff of Beltrami held September 15, county before the primaries to be If elected to the office I will give the duties thereof the very best ability which I possess. WES WRIGHT. D. H. FISK CANDIDATE FOR COUNTY ATTORNEY Popular Bemidji Atiorney Should Be Nominated and Elected County Attorney. One of the most important offices to be fiilled at the coming election is that of county attorney. Beltrami county ia a young county, her resources are but par- tially developed and with the greater part of the county sparsely settled, there is a great deal of territory which must be developed. Owing to the fact that the coun- ty’s resources are limited, the ex- penses of the county must neces- sarily be high as compared with her income. The office of county attorney is one of the most important, and in making your choice for this office people should guard their own interests. As the county grows older the expenses will lighten, this being due to the fact that the county becomes settled and developed. D. H. Fisk, who seeks the nomi- nation for county attorney, attorney of experience, having practiced law for the last thirty-five years. In all his dealings with the county Mr. Fisk announces that his plat- form will be a just and equitable assessment of both real and personal property and an economical admini- stration of the county’s affairs. Coming before the people with this declaration of principle and taking into consideration his experi- ence as an attorney, and' knowing his disposition to deal justly, fairly and impartially with all, we do not hesitate to recommend him for nomi- nation and election to take the place of our present efficient county attor- ney, Henry Funkley. Rural Routes Benefit Roads. According to a communication re- ceived from P. V. DeGraw, fourth as- sistant postmaster general, the local postal authorities have been informed that the establishment of the rural free delivery routes has accel- erated road construction and given the good road movement in the northwest a big boost. Last spring Mr. DeGraw sent a letter to each postmaster asking for information regarding the roads cov- ered by the rural routes; also asking particular information about sections needing repairs, where bridges and culverts were needed, and the amount of money expended in the districts since the routes were established. Reports from Minnesota, the Da- kotas, Wisconsin and Michigan show that the roads covered by routes are in fairly good condition, and that the is an| majority of the roads in poor condi- tion are due to lack of ditching and grading. They also show that since the rural delivery routes were estab- lished in these states the condition of roads has been greatly improved and that considerable sums of money have been expended in building new roadways and repairing old ones. Exact information as to the amount expended on certain roads covered by rural delivery is lacking, but the re- ports show thatin Minnesota the ag- gregate expenditure on these roads is $1,573,442; in North Dakota, $194,- 667; in South Dakota $271,420; Wis- consin, $2,431,965,and Michigan $1,- 704,436. Minnesota now has 1,549 routes, i covering about 42,048 miles; North Dakota 331 routes, covering about 9,268 miles, Wisconsin 1,581 routes, coveaing about 38,734 miles, and Michigan 1,967 routes, coveriog about 48,191 miles. Some postmasters have given information regarding roads that were not in good repair, and the de- partment has sent letters to the road officials of these districts informing them that unless the roads are put in good condition the rural free de- livery routes will be discontinued. 'Tis Different Now. The following taken from the Crookston Journal, is not so “worse:” How times have changed! When we were young, people’ who had bad colds soaked their feet in hot water and got well. Now they have the grip take quinine and are sick all summer. Then they had sore throat and wrapped a piece of fat pork in an old sock and went to work next day. Now they have tonsolitis, an operation and weeks in the house. Then they had stomachache, took castor oil and recovered. Now they have appendicitis, a week in the hos- pital and six feet due east and west and perpendicular. Now they labor. In those days, they wore under- wear. Now they wear lingerie. Then they went to a restaurant for dinner. Now they go to the cafe. Then they broke a leg. Now they fracture a limb. Then they got crazy. Now they have brainstorm. Ministers preached hell fire straight from the shoulder then. Now they read an essay on ‘“The flowers that bloomed on Mohammed’s grave.” Politicians then paid good hard cash for newspaper support. Now they send government gar- den seeds. Jewett Baby Buried. The funeral of the infant son of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Jewett of this city was held yesterday afternoon at the Catholic church at 2:30 o’clock, Father O’Dwyer conducting sevrices. The little boy was one and one- half years old at the time of his death which was caused by summer complaint. Subscribe for The Pioneer.

Inquire at Hearst delivered an address in this city at a Labor day celebration. Mr. Hearst said in part: “I intend to talk politics, because we are all talking politics at this time, but I do not intend to make a politieal speech or a partisan speech. “When I first urged labor unions to go into politics Mr. Gompers disagreed with me and declared that labor uni- ons ought to keep out of politics. “Now Mr. Gompers agrees with me that labor unions ought to go into pol- itics, but I don’t agree with him on the way labor unions ought to go into politics and inasmuch as he was wrong and I was right before maybe he is wrong now and I am right now. “Mr. Gompers thinks that the right way is for all labor unions to lay their votes in his basket like a lot of good, dutiful political hens and for him to then take his basket to market and peddle the contents to the Republican party or to the Democratic party. “The objections to this plan are many and they are conclusive. “First, you camnot afford to repose 80 much in any man or in any set of men. There is a distinct danger that the <ontents of the basket would be peddled more for the benefit of the owner of the basket than for the ad- vantage of the honest, trustful layers of the votes. There would be competi- tion for the contents of the hasket of & kind that would debauch or destroy for —2bout ~twenly-tWo years, -during ‘which time he had been in business as a real estate dealer and as manager of estates. He was forty-three years of age. KING EDWARD QUITS- LONDON Avoids Receiving Papal Legate to Eucharistic Congress. London, Sept. 8—King Edward has arranged to spend the week at Doncaster, where a race meeting is being held. His majesty thus vetoes the report that he will receive Car- te the Eucharistic congress now as- sembling at Westminster, which so ralarmed the militant Protestants composing the Protestant federation. The federation requested the king tc assure it that the papal legate would not be received, pointing out that the ancient law forbidding the entry of a papal legate into England had not Leen abrogated. Tn reply to the fed- eration’s request comes the semi-of- ficlal announcement of his majesty’s circles of this city. He had lived hm;{f]..~ racing plans. your organization without benefiting the humbler members. Disrupted by Dissensions. “Second, you would never be har- monfous. in your ideas of how the votes should be delivered. You would be divided by differences of opinion; you would be disrupted by dissen- tions. “Third, you have trled out the old parties time and time again and found them wanting every time, and it would be absurt for for you to waste your time and your opportunities persisting in a policy that has continually proved & failure. “If any one tells you that the Demo- cratic party is a new party with a new attitude toward workingmen I stand ready to prove that it is the same old party with the same old deceitful at- titude toward workingmen. “When, years ago, workingmen were in Washington arguing for what they honestly believed to be for the best interests of themselves and their families and their fellow citizens gen- erally Mr. Bryan called them ‘public beggars.” He did not show a spirit in sympathy with American labor or in harmony with American ideas. “And when Mr. Bryan the other day appointed a treasurer of the Dem- ocratic fund, this man Haskell, a mem- ber of a secret citizens’ alliance, hos- tile to labor in a mean and cowardly way, he did not show in that either & spirit in sympathy with American la- bor or in accordance with American fair play.” . Mr. Hearst then went into details concerning his charges against Mr. Haskell, quoting from a resolution Mr. Hearst saild was introduced by Mr. Haskell before a meeting of an alliance to bear out his assertions.
