It shouldbe the aim of every member of the commercial club to attend all meetings of that body, from now on, as the matters that will be taken up for the considera- tion need the hearty co-operation of every resident of the city. ‘“‘In unity there is strength,” and this should be the slogan for all Bemid- jites. Let everyone get his shoulder to the wheel and boost for the advance- ment of Bemidji. Drop a few of your personal grievances (if you have any) and “get together” with your neighbors in doing something that wili benefit this community. Blackduck Enterprise: John Gil- sted went to St. Pau! today, where he was summoned before the tax commission to give testimony con- cerning the lowering of taxes on pine lands by the county board of equalization. Some of the land is in Summit. The Bemidji Pioneer is certainly a dandy little paper—and not so little either compared with the pat- ronage Bemidji gives it. The way it covers the north country news makes some of the dailies look mighty cheap.—Grand Rapids Inde- pendent. Thanks, brother. It is such sen- timents that spur one on to do better in this world of strife and con- tention, where we sometimes think every men is arrayed against his peighbor. The Pioneer is earnestly striving to ‘'give all the best news of Bemidji, Beltrami county and northern Minnesota generally; and we are “boosters” of the thirty- third degree for this country. Bryan Knows It’s Bosh. President Roosevelt hits the nail on the head when he points out that Bry- an’s pretended remedies for corpora- ‘Hion evils are chimerical. Courtesy probably prevented the president from adding that the alleged remedies are 80 chimerical, impracticable and ut- terly at variance not only with the constitution of the United States, but with the rights of property every- ‘where throughout civilization, as to suggest insincerity on the part of the person submitting such flimsy absurd- ities. ‘We have before pointed out that Bryan's plan of preventing any cor- poration from doing more than 50 per cent of the total business in any par- ticular line would invalidate the pat- ent and trademark laws of the United States and rob each and every In- ventor of half the income to which he Is entitled. It would involve an in- quisition into every large business handling certain articles exclusively, and it might readily be construed to cover proprietary articles of every sort. But why pursue the subject? President Roosevelt has chosen the more polished phrase—*“chimerical.” The fact is, however, in plain talking English, it's bosh, just bosh, and Bry- an knows it's bosh. President Roosevelt again hits the nail on the head when he says that “no law defying corporation has any- thing to fear from you (Bryanm) save what It will suffer in the general paralysis of business which any at- tempt on your part to reduce to prac- tice what you have advocated would bring.” True, and it is also true that the one corporation conspicuous for its deflance of law and dealing in an arti- cle in common use all over the world seems quite ready to run the risk of Bryanism for the prospect which Bry- anism holds out of continuing to defy the law. The corporation in question regards Mr. Taft’s election very much as a burglar regarded his arraignment in court before a certain judge. The burglar was trembling and evidently very much worried. “You need not fear,” said his honor. “I will see that Z;u have full justice done you.” our honor, that is just what I'm afrald of,” replied the burglar. L { “Is fictlon declining?” asks a Chica go paper, the editor of which evident: 1y 18 not reading Mr. Bryan’s speeches. | “No boss shall run the Democratic party,” says Mr. Bryan, meaning, of course, “no other boss.” This Is truly a campaign of educa- tion, and the amazing thing is that-| two other campaigns have taught Bryan nothing more than to tryto rub off the blackboard the demonstrations that time has proved erroneous. 'WAR FEVER IN * SERVIA GROWS Scemes of Wild Enthusiasm at Belgrade. DEMAND T0 SEE THE KING Mob of Demonstrators Invades the Preoincts of the.Palace and Be- comes So Threatening That Troops Aré Called Out to Disperse the Crowd—Flood of Telegrams From the Interior Promising Support. Belgrade, Servia, Oct. ).—The clamor for war with Austria-Hungary because of the occupation of Bosnia and Herzegovina is growing here con- stantly and scenes of wild enthusiasm are being witnessed on the streets of Belgrade. A ’ A mob of demonstrators forced its ‘way to the precincts of the palace and demanded to 'see King Peter. The attitude of the crowd was 8o threaten- ing that troops and gendarmes finally had to be called out. They surround- ed the palace and had to charge sev- eral times before the war fevered pa- triots would disperse. The patriots are very much dissat- isfled with the tone of the protest of Bervia against the occupation of Bos- nia and Herzegovina. They declare it lacks vigor and does not represent the feelings of the nation, which would rather go to war than acquiesce in this sct of Austria-Hungary. There is a steady flow of telegrams from the interior assuring the govern- ment of support in the shape of money, men and arms in the event of hostili- tles. APPEALS FOR JUSTICE. Text of Servia’s Protest to the Powers. Belgrade, Oct. .—The Servian gov- ernment, in its proclamation protest- ing against the annexation by Austria- Hungary of Bosnia and Herzegovina, expresses the hope that the powers will respond to the appeal addressed to them for protection and justice. “This new and flagrant violation of the Berlin treaty,” the proclamation declares, “has been effected unilater- ally by force majure, to satisfy selfish interests and without regard to the grievous blow thus dealt to the feel- ings, interests and rights of the Ser- vian people. “Servia cannot, in this present case, obtain full satisfaction other than by the complete restoration of the situa- tion with regard to Bosnia and Her- zegovina as established by the treaty of Berlin. If this solution is regarded as absolutely impossible the Servian government, appealing to the sense of equity of the powers, demands corre- eponding compensation for Servia. The guarantees indispensible to her exist- ence as an independent state must be maintained and the general condition of existence assured Servia by the treaty of Berlin must, at least in a measure, be restored.” Continuing, the proclamation points out that the rights accorded Servia under this treaty are incomparably in- ferlor to the sacrifices imposed upon her. Servia has scrupulously ob- served the terms of the treaty. No modifications to the advantage of Ser- via have been made, whereas there have been a number of modifications to the advantage of other powers, TURKEY MAY RETALIATE. Aggressive Move in Connection With Secession of Crete. Constantinople, Oct. ).—The procla- mation of the union of the island of Crete with Greece may not be accept- ed by Turkey without retallation, It 1s reported here that the Turkish gov- ernment has ordered four of its war- sbips, which are at present at Smyrna, to proceed to the island of Samos. Samos is a Greek jsland and pays an aunual tribute to Turkey. The Greek minister to Turkey pre- sented to the porte a communication from his government announcing that the people of Crete had spontaneously proclaimed the union of that island with Greece. He assured the Turkish government that Greece was not re- sponsible for the proceedings of the Cretans and expressed the hope that this action would not disturb the pres- ent friendly relations between the two powers. It is feared here that this hope can hardly be realized. - .PREGAUTIUNARY STEPS. Austria Preparing to Protect Frontier Against Servia. Vienna, Oct. .—Information has reached the government that Servia is planning the organization of a guer- rilla warfare in Bosnia and Herze govina. It is purposed to flood these two provinces with armed bands. Austria is taking precautionary steps to protect her frontier. The railroad tunnel near the fortress of Peterwar- dein, in Hungary, is now held by ¥roops. Albanians Also Get in Line, Berlin, Oct. J—It is reported here that the Arnauts of Albania have de- ared their independence of Turkey. 'he rumor, however, lacks confirme tion. SITUATION COMPLICATED. More Pessimistic Feeling Regarding Balkan Trouble. London, Oct. ).—More pessimistic feelings prevail here with regard to the - possible early settlement of the Near Eastern question. The demands of the Cretans for annexation to Greece and the protest of the Servian government against the annexation of Bosnia and ,Herzegovina have intro- duced further difficulties. These, it is believed, will assuredly be finally overcome by the British government, B5t Theg-ars ddlayiag i Great Bfitain has no objection to the annexation of Crete to Greece at the.| proper time, if the Cretans so desire, but she considers that the moment chosen to bring about.this change is inopportune and she will oppose it. ‘With regard to Servia the foreign office has just received the Servian note of protest and has not had time to consider it. Servia, like the other Balkan states, has just cause for com- plaint, but British officials do not take a gerious view of the reported threats of precipitate war between Servia and Bosnia and Herzegovina. Teotatlons: SITUATION VERY STRAINED Bulgaria Considers Latest Turkish Communication “Insolent.” Paris, Oct. { —The ‘Sofia correspond- ent of the Temps says in a dispatch that King Ferdinand has summoned the commander-in-chief ‘of the Bul- garian army in conference. The Bulgarian government consid- ers that the last communication re- ceived from the grand vizier of Tur- key is “insolent.” The situation is very strained, the correspondent says, and great excitement prevails in Sofia. THIRTEEN PERSONS LOSE THEIR LIVES Big Graln Elevator at Ricford, Vi, Explodes. Richford, Vt, Oct. )—The large grain elevator owned jointly by the Canadian Pacific and the Boston and Maine railroad exploded, killing twelve men and one woman and injuring an- other woman probably fatally. The explosion blew off the entire roof of the building, scattering tim- bers in all directions, and almost in- stantly flames burst out all over the structure. Twenty-one men were em- ployed in the building and twelve per- ished in the explosion or the fire fol- lowing. All lived in Richford. Mrs. John Jellfore, who was walking with a companion along the Canadian Pacific track close to the elevator, was burned to death and an unknown wo- |, man who was with her was burned so seriously that her life is despaired of. The total loss is estimated at $400,000. IN EFFECT ON NOV. 1. Railroads to Enforce Shipment Under | New Bill of Lading. New York, Oct. ,.—All the 416 roads in the official classification terri- tory, extending west to the Missis: sippi and south to the Ohio rivers, will put into effect on Nov. 1 new rules requiring all shipments to be made under a new form of bill of lading, which has been approved by tho Interstate commerce commission. The terms of the bill of lading de terminé€ the carriers’ responsibility to the shipper in case of damage or loss. It is the belief of the railroads that the new bill of lading will greatly lessen the friction between the car riers and shippers in respect to claims for damages to freight. In order to enforce the use of the new form of bill of lading the rail- roads will make the acceptance of the new form a condition of accepting freight at published rates. A shipper ‘who does not ship under the new form of bill of lading will have to pay 1¢ per cent additional to the published rate. Chicago, Oct. .—The Western rafl roads have practically decided to adopt the same uniform bill of lading that has been accepted by the Eastern roads. It is understood that the West: ern classification committee has asked the interstate commerce commission for authority to adopt the provisions of the Eastern bill of lading on Nov. 1, instead of the classification provisions which they have filed. Kills Wife on Street Car. Chicago, Oct. J.—While the baby i her arms crowed gleefully at a glit tering revolver Mrs. Katherine Arf, nineteen years old, was shot and killed by her husband in a street car where a score of passengers stood terror stricken. Arf, after a vain attempt te escape, fired a bullet through his own head and died. Arbitration Treaty With China. ‘Washington, Oct. ).—The proposed arbitration treaty between China and the United States was signed at the state department, Wu Ting Fang, the Chinese minister, acting on behalf of the Chinese government and Secre tary Root on behalf of the American government. Long Strike Finally Settled. Marshalltown, Ia, Oct. ).—Settle- ment of the Iowa Central railway shop- men’s strike, which has been on since April 22, was effected after two days’ conference. The men will return to work Monday. The shops remain union. CANNOT PREDICT RESULT| J. J. Hill Says Party Lines Are Indif- ferently Drawn. New York, Oct. —James J. Hill, chairman of the board of directors of the Great Northern Railway company, arrived here from St. Paul. Mr. Hill declined to discuss the political situa- tlon except to say that never in his experience had he observed a condi- tlon prior to a national election when party lines were so Indifferently drawn. ued, “makes any estimate of the result impossible.” ! As to the general business situation Mr. Hill remarked that the Northwest was indeed prosperous, displaying a table showing the growth of banks in ‘the Dakotas and Minnesota, the table indicating that in these sections dur- ing the past ten years the bank de- posits had increased 200 to 300 per eent, 2 “It must be said,” said Mr. Hill, “that. the agricultural sections are prosperous and in these districts.there has been a noticeable improvement in business.” “That condition,” he contin- | hood. WORLD'S PEACE French Premier Discusses Balkan S#uation. MILITARISH A NECESSITY Recent Occurrences Proof That France Must Maintain Her Military Power to Insure the National Defense in Moments Like the Present When a Solemn International Treaty Had Been Torn Up. Bandol, France, Oct. ).—Premier Clemenceau made an address here in which he referred to the existing crisis in the Near East as a severe blow to the peace propaganda of the world. He said also that the Balkan situation was proof-that the necessity still existed for France to maintain her military power o insure the na- tional defense in moments like. the present, when a solemn international treaty had been torn up. The premier's subject was “Lib- erty” and he dealt with the evils, espe- clally anti-militarism, that are prone to grow up in a republic. “Mllitary power alone gives effica- clous support when the facts so clear- Iy reveal the feesbleness of interna- PREMIER CLEMENCEAU. tlonal guarantees,” the premier said. “All people wish to maintain peace and all governmants profess to be pa- cific, but by a striking contradiction we too often -appear to be upon the eve of hloody cenfiicts. Peoples and governments sometimes allow their Dpassions and their excessive egotism to overcome the beiter instinets of humanity. “Amid the difficulties and perils of the present hour we will contribute our best efforts, with the aid of our friends and allies, to conciliate con- flicting interests. At the same time we will continue to manifest our ener- getic sympathy for a.people which is battling for liberal institutions.” DR.

REA &I00.. Minneapolis, Minn. "LoutsvilleKy International Conference Only Way to Settle Trouble. Paris, Oct. .. —France continues to insist energetically that an_interna- tional conference is the only solution of the Balkan crisis. She says such a congress is made imperatively nec- essary by Turkey’s appeal to the pow- ers. A flat denial is given here to the statements that the movement for a conference has received a check. It 1s stated positively that Great Britain already has agreed to this idea in principle and no doubt is entertained but that.the divergence of views be- tween Russia and Great Britain as to the programme to be discussed would be reconciled as soon as M. Iswolsky, the Russian foreign minister, reaches [London. It is now practically certain Russia will issue the invitations to this con- ference. 2 The matter of inviting the United States has not been considered, as America is not a party to the Berlin treaty and as it is assumed that her traditional policy will make her pre- fer not to enter a strictly European conference. Official advices received here from points in the Balkans are more favor- able in one respect, but less so in an- other. From Belgrade comes the as- surance that the present effervescent will not go to the point of a declara- tion of war, but from Sofia there has come confirmation of the report that Bulgaria has made a telegraphic de- mand upon the porte for the recogni- tion of her independence. DENIED BY GERMANY. Not Responsible for Recent Develop- ments in the Balkans. Berlin, Oct. .—The German foreign office, taking cognizance of the efforts of London and Paris to make it ap- pear that the German government was In some way responsible for the Bul- garian declaration of independence and the annexation of Bosnia and Her- zegovina by Austria-Hungary, has re- pudiated these suggestions in their entirety. The Associated Press was informed in a -direct manner that the German government was as complete- ly surprised as anybody at the devel- opments of the past few days and that the resulting situation is highly un- satisfactory to Germany. Mr. Bryan is so fond of theorizing .| upon governmental processes that he shouldn’t complain because the people prefer to let him be president in theory only. A congressman returned to President Roosevelt a hat inadvertently borrow- ed, but Mr. Roosevelt is content, as is | the country, that Mr. Taft shall step in his shoes. How’s This?
