IUSUUIUIIVINIVNN SUBSCRIPTION---$5.00 PER ANNUM —_— e THE WORRIED “GROWLER.” (Dedlcated to My Dear 01d Friend, “Colonel” Allen) LBy A. G. Rutledge.] Where am I at? Where am I at? One man says this, one man says that— Republican and Democrat And all others Arise and shout both day and night That this is wrong and that Is right, One day they mingle in a fight, The next are brothers. One moment comes a bomb from Hearst, And ere the fragments are dispersed Somebody else is roundly cursed In all the papers: Koraker shouts that it's a lie And some one soaks the other eyo— It is not ours to reason why For all these capers. One minute I am warned of Debs, That all his pleas are tangling webs And bubble-like as fever blebs (See dictionary). And then “Look out for graft!” they yell And the spellbinders start to spell With gestures and with language el- ocutionary. Archbold with manner dignified Denies again what he’s denied, And Bailer shouts; “Somebody lied! The rascal!” Then Bryan claims it is his turn, And uncle Joe begins to dura, And everybody tries to spurn Poor Haskell. One man will swear one man will vouch: Another talks of Hitcheock's grouch— And then McLaurin mutters “Ouch!™ With vigor; Somebody 1ands in some one's wool, And then with game the woods are full ‘With Teddy's band about to pull The trigger. ‘Where am T at? Where am I at? Today it's this, tomorrow that— Republican and Democrat And all the others Have jammed and tangled my poor mind ~ Until no answer can [ find— One day they're the Kilkenny kind. The next are brothers. ALLEN’S SUPPHRT “N. G.” “Old Allen” and his company’s Sentinel froth at the mouth and slop over in a dozen or more places in attempt to detract attention from the fact that everybody knows he is a liar and that he has already ad- mitted it, for proof of which the Pioneer refers the few veaders the Sentinel has to the issue prior to the primaries in which Allen attempts to deny the authorship of a letter written to C. O. Moon and laid the blame on his daughter. Allen also tries to tell of the great things the Sentinel did' in the late campaign, but falls very flat and winds up his screed by the following: “And as to Mr. Wright if he ever or his agent paid us one cent for political support, or advertising, it certainly has slipped our memory, and we ask Mr. Wright or his attor- ney to correct us. We took neither side because both men were strang- ers, but we told Mr. Wright that the support of the Pioneer cost him five hundred votes 1n this county, aud we think he was told that by others.” The quoted portion of the above is certainly amusing, “Old Allen” “told Mr. Wright that the support of the Pioneer cost him 500 votes in this county and we think he was told that by others.” There is no doubt about his being told about it by “Old Allen,” and “we think” “Informer Rood” seconded Allen’s motion, as he wields the same kind of a sledge as the “Colonel.” As to the Sentinel getting votes in Bettrami county for the people whom it realiy supports, the Pioneer refers anyone interested to the official returns of the recent primary elec- tion. 1. B. Olson, candidate for the republican nomination for register of deeds, fell shy just 377 votes of equaling J. O. Harris, the successful nominee. In the same campaign, J. J. Opsahl, in Beltrami county, was 312 votes behind Henry Funkley for representative to the legislature. “Old Allen” actually worked up a dangerous sweat in a personal cam- paign for both I. B. Olson and J. J. Opsahl. He prided himself on the fact that these men were the ‘‘real thing.” With all due regard to both of the gentleman, whose election the Sentinel advocated, the officiat returns show that they ran behind their opposing candidate in this county. “Figures don’t lie;”” and they cer- tainly prove that the support of the Bemidji Sentinel and the advocacy of “Old Allen” are to be shunned if , one wishes success at the polls. An English writer says that Bryan- is a religion. Hardly that, as no jone was ever saved by it. ! Mr. Bryan declares that his third nomination was due to the growth of the principles he championed in his former campaigns. The statement is ‘a little amusing in view of the fact ithat ‘every principle he championed in {1896 and in 1000 is as dead as the akoond of Swat. BANKERS’ VIEW OF BRYAN PLAN Giuarantee of Deposits Con- demned by Resolution. BRAND IDEA AS ILLOGICAL Subject Brought Directly Before the Annual Convention at Denver by the Report of the Association’s Federal Legislative Committee—Ridicule the Argument That the Plan Would End Panics. Denver, Oct. '.—The question of guaranteeing bank deposits was brought squarely before the annual convention of the American Bankers’ association in a report of the associa- tion’s federal legislative committee, which takes a decided stand in oppo- sition to such action by either the fed- eral or the state governments. The report, in part, is as follows: “Your committee is opposed to the guaranteeing of deposits by either state or federal governments, or the assumption of a trusteeship by either of a guarantee fund, believing that it would be a function wholly outside of any purpose for which state or federal governments were organized and for the further fact that the assuming of a trusteeship would be misleading to the general public, as it is not a guar- antee by either state or federal gov- ernment; and that such a law would work to the detriment not only of the banks but to the depositing public as well. If one class of bank creditors is to be insured against the usual mis- chance of business, why mot all classes, and” where is the justice of levying a depositor’s loss, for which he is not responsible, upon other banks, who also are not responsible for his loss and who have no voice whatever in the selection of where he shall keep his account? Guaranteed by Bank's Assets. “Depositors of a bank are guaran- teed primarily by the character of the assets in which the depositors’ money is invested, margined and fortified by the bank’s capi'tal and surplus. If a bank’s assets, that is to say its invest- ments, are good, if its credits have been wisely and conservatively ex- tended, depositors are amply protected and need no other guarantee. Why should not the bank’s assets be guar- anteed, why not guarantee payment to the banks of the receivables of their various clients? This would guaran- tee deposits. Both propositions are alike illogical and absurd. “We are told that these plans will do away with panics. Are they not more likely to prove the mother of panics? A panio is business paralysis, born of unreasoning fear on the part of the public. In such conditions will depositors refrain from withdrawing their funds? Will they not, rather, withdraw them at once because of the unknown danger resulting from each bank being compelled to guarantee the losses in 20,000 banks? To those who have had the gruelling experience of several panics there is but one answer to this question and no law could be spread on the statute books more fraught with mischief than a law for enforced guarantee of bank deposits.” The federal legislative committee also reported adversely on the pro- posed establishment of postal savings banks, saying: “No bill has been pre- sented which would really prove bene- fieial to the country.” CLEAN UP HALF MILLION Gorn Deal Engineered by Men Little Known in the Pit. Chicago, Oct. .—David Roberts, cousin of General Lord Roberts "of British-Boer war fame, who lives in Chicago, and Robert H. Cummings, an elevator owner of Clifton, Iil, closed out September corn with $500; 000 profit, thereby tieing double and {fancy sailor knots in the tails of the bear element, led by such masters as J. Ogden Armour and James H. Pat- ten. The men who took nearly $500,000 in September corn are but little known on the Chicago board of trade. Mr. Cummings has gone back to his elevator business at Clifton, Ill, with his grip full of profits and Mr. Rob. erts is smiling. A third heavy galner is G. L. Cranshaw of Los Angeles, Cal., who is said to be $100,000 ahead as the result of the deal. Will Not Send Special Envoy. The Hague, Oct. .—Neither the for- elgn office nor the colonial office has received any confirmation of the re- ported refusal of President Castro of Venezuela to receive the second Dutch note through the intermediary of Baron von Seckendorff, the German minister to Venezuela, who is in charge of Holland's interests. Even should this report turn out to be true the government has no intention of sppointing a special envoy to present this communication, 8trike Situation Unchanged. Montreal, Oct. ,.—"“The situation in regard to the Canadian Pacific railway strike remains unchafiged,” announced James O’Connell, president of the In- ternational Association of Machinists, who is here endeavoring to bring about a settlement of the strike. “This much is certain: The union will not submit to an unconditional surrender.” OIL HEARING AT CHICAGO Standard Deniés Receiving Preferen- tial Rates, Chicago, Oct. !—Standard Oil com- pany attorneys presented evidence be- fore Judge Franklin Ferriss in support of the contention that the oil com- pany has not been the recipient of preferential rates from railroads in different sections of the country. The hearing was in the federal building in Judge Bethea’s courtroom, adjoining the courtroom in which Judge Landis pronounced _ his judg- inent that ‘the Standard Oil mpany of Indiana’ should pay a fihe of $29, 240,000, and is a phase of the attempt of the government in a. suit in chancery to have the Standard Oil company dissolved and cease to exist as a corporate entity. Special Gov- ernment Attorneys Frank B. Kellogg and Charles B. Morrison, former Unit- ed States di ict attorney in Chicago, represented the government and At torneys John S. Miller and Moritz Rosenthal, both of whom appeared for the ofl company in the spectacular fine case, represented the company before Judge Ferriss. Henry E. Felton, general traffic man- ager of the Standard Oil company, was the first witness called to the stand and will be the principal wit- ness to be examined in the Chicago hearing. Evidence on other points in the case has been taken in a number of cities and the government presented its di- rect evidence in the “preferential rates” and railroad phases of the case in Washington. WILL RESUME THE PURCHASE OF SILVER Metal Needed for Supplying Subsidiary Goins. ‘Washington, Oct. A—Director of the Mint Leach has announced that he will this week resume the purchase of fine silver for subsidiary coinage. He states that he expects to purchase about 125,000 ounces each week for an indefinite period. Director Leach said he was confi- deat purchases would be made as long as there was an active demand for the coin. The mint now has on hand only about 5,000,000 ounces of fine silver and this supply would soon be ex- hausted at the present rate of demand. For several months prior to the late financial stringency the demand for subsidiary coins was so active as to necessitate the operation of the mints to their full capacity, but the demand fell off until there was an accumula- tion in the treasury in April last of about $27,000,000 in standard dollars and $26,000,000 in subsidiary coins. Early in the summer the call for silver dollars became more active and soon the supply was practically exhausted. Attention was then directed to the balves and other subsidiary coins with the result that mow there is only about $21,000,000 available, notwith- stending the fact that in September $634,000 in silver subsidiary was coined and added to the stock on hand. Mr. Leach expects a still stronger demand when the cotton crop begins to move and the decision to - purchase more silver is in anticipation of this demand. HASKELL APPEALS FOR HELP Needs Money to Fight “the Enemies of the People.” Guthrie, Okla., Oct. .—Governor Haskell has made a public appeal to the people of Oklahoma for money to aid him in overcoming his enemies, whom he declares are the enemies of the people. Governor Haskell's ap- peal says: “As for myself I am not possessed of wealth and recelve a salary but barely enough for the expense of my family and myself. I am giving my entire time to the welfare of Okla homa. I can make the fight against all these interests only with the sup port of the people. I not only want the moral, but also some small finan clal assistance of the people of Okla homa. Postage, paper, labor and other items of expense can only be incurred when I have the means to meet them I am standing firmly for honest gov: ernment and against graft, greed and corporate oppression. I ask assist- ance, not in large amounts, because a few thousand dollars will be a start for the fight, but I ask that the multi- tude weigh this matter and render such financial assistance as they deem Steamer Declared Confiscated. Vancouver, B. C., Oct. ,—Justice Martin, sitting in the admiralty court at Victoria, handed down judgment in the Frances Cutting case and ordered the confiscation of the vessel to his majesty. The Frances Cutting is a steam schooner which was seized by the fisheries cruiser Kestrel some months ago for fishing inside the three-mile limit. The steamer will probably be sold at auction. Attempted Revolt Fails. Mexico City, Oct. .—According to a report which has just reached this city an attempt was made at revolu- tion in Costa Rica recently. The movement was engineered by certain members of the now defunct Civilista party. Two thousand rifles, a quan- tity of ammunition and other muni- tions of war were seized by the au- thorities. A number of arrests were made. BURNS STEAMSHIP OFFICES Mob Blames Vessel Captain for Seri- ous Disaster. Smyrna, Oct. .—Infuriated by the belief that the fatal ferry disaster which occurred here Wednesday was due to the fact that the captain of the Turkish steamer which ran down the ferry boat was absent from his post a mob of the populace descended upon the offices of the Hamideeh company, the owners of the steamer, and burned them to the ground. The piers and landing stages of the company also were destroyed by fire. One hundred and forty pc-sons were drowned when the ferryboat sank. Tabriz Under Bombardment. WILL REFUSE T0 OBEY THE WRIT New York Sheriif Otdered to Take Thaw to Pittshurg. BY ADVICE OF COUNSEL Attorney. General of Empire State Holds That 'Officer in Charge of Noted Prisoner Cannot Let Him Out of the Jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of That State Notwithstand- Ing Action of Federal Court. ‘White Plains, N. Y., Oct. '\—A writ of habeas corpus signed by R. W. Archibald, judge of the district court of the United States for the Western district of Pennsylvania, and com- manding Sheriff Lane of Westchester county “forthwith to produce the body of Harry K. Thaw In Pittsburg,” was served on the sheriff here. After read- ing the writ Sheriff Lane formally no- tified the deputy who served the paper that he would refuse to obey the order and would not take Thaw- to Pitts- burg. In explanation of his refusal to com- Ply with the order of Judge Archibald Sheriff Lane said he was acting on advice of counsel, who had advised him that he canuot let Thaw out of the jurisdiction of the supreme court of that state. The writ specifies that the presence of Thaw is dsmanded in the Pittsburg court so that he may testify in the bavkruptey proceedings now pending in that court. By Advice of Attorney General. Albany, N. Y., Oct. ‘'.—Attorney General Jackson has advised Sheriff Charles M. Lane of White Pleins not to comply, at least for the present, with the writs issued by a Pennsyl- vania court to produce Harry K. Thaw in Pittsburg forthwith. The attorney general has designated Colonel Asa Bird Gardner of New York, former dis- trict attorney of New York, as a dep- uty attorney general to represent the state on the return of writs before the federal court. The attorney general acted after he had received a telegram from Sheriff Lane stating that he had been served with writs ordering him to produce Thaw in Pittsburg. The sheriff asked for advice as to the course he should follow. It was stated at the attorney gen- eral’s office that Colonel Gardner will contend before the federal court on the return of the writs that there is no warrant in law, in the bankruptey proceedings instituted, for the produc. tion of an incompetent person such as Thaw. HEARST RENEWS CHARGES|® Additional Letters and Affidavits Read at Denver. Denver, Oct. ..—In a thirty-minute speech William R. Hearst renewed his charges against Senator Foraker and Governor Haskell of Oklahoma and read additional letters and affidavits bearing upon the charges. Two let- ters addressed to Senator Foraker and signed by John D. Archbold of the Standard Oil company, in which were enclosed certificates of deposit for $5,000 and $10,000 respeotively, each bearing date 1900, were read. Mr. Hearst paid his respects to Roosevelt and Bryan and compared the action of the president in repudi- ating Senator Foraker with that of Mr. Bryan, who, he said, was willing 1o take the responsibility for Governor Constantinople, Oct. .—A telegram received here from the Turkish con- sul at Tabriz, Persia, says that the indiscriminate bombarding of that{ town continuas. Two shells fell close to the American consulate. Roads in the vicinity are unsafe and Tabriz is threatened with famine. Haskell's connection with the Demo- cratic national committee. Hearst said it was not true that he and the president “have altered their opinion of each other and are work- ing now hand in hand,” as the Demo- crats charge. “I dislike Mr. Roosevelt person- ally,” he said, “and have every reason to dislike him. MINISTER LEADS POSSE. Proposes to Give Battle to Virginia Outlaws. Richmond, Va., Oct. .—Aroused to desperation by the inaction of the au. thorities a strong posse of citizens of Arvonia have armed themselves with rifies and gone into the woods of Buck- ingham county to do battle with the Zimmerman-Thomas band of outlaws in hiding there. The posse is under the leadership of Rev. Plummer Jones. Arvonia is one of the towns the bandits have threatened to burn. The outlaws are strongly fortified and pro- vided with enough food and water to withstand a long siege. Strikebreakers Turned Back. ‘Winnipeg, Man., Oct. l—Canadian immigration officials at Emerson have intercepted a party of machinists, car repairers and boilermakers at the boundary and refused them admit- tance, turning them back to the Unit- ed States.
