SUBSCRIPTION---$5.00 PER ANNUM ———————— HALLOWEEN. That “boys will be boys” is as obviously true as is the other fre- quentiy heard observation that all men were boys once upon a time. Undeniable as both these statements are, they seem to fall short of being an adequate excuse for the doing and the condoning of the vandalism which has come to mark Halloween. Boys can be boysand not destroy property wantonly,and men can re- member that they once were boys and not approve of nor encourage such destruction. Halloween is a time of merriment and mischtef, but the merriment should be innocent and the mischief not wanton. This year the annual day of doom for fences, gates, ash barrels and other portable and infiammable mat- erials will be celebrated tonight If unrestrained by police supervision, the boys in many neighborhoods will work havoc this night. They will{ deface buildirgs, break windows, start dangerous bonfires and in other ways give the impr.ssion that they have reverted to a condition of youthful savagery which may be highly diverting to them and to men who still are boys, but which ia reality calls for prompt ard vigorous repression. Just as much fun can be derived from the orderly celebration of Halloween as from unrestrained vandalism, The great trouble with many boys is that they do not know, never having been taught, how to enjoy themselves in innocent ways. Their idea of fun is to smash things, to destroy the property of others. The night police force of the city has many duties a2nd many are the demands made upon it, but it seems that the patrolmen could bhave no more timcly task set them tonight than the saving of prop- erty from the hands of young van- dals, who, unless they are taken in hand, never will be men.

I wish to thank the people of the county for the unanimous re- superintendent of schools at the recent primary election. If re elected I will continue to devote my time and energy in working for the best intcrests of the schools. I will enleavor at-a'l times to assist home teachers, securing for |’ them Summer Training Schools with the ablest instructors the state can furnish and thus keep them in touch with the better things pertaining to their work. Normal - training will be encour- aged, meetings of the school boards will be held and visiting of schools will continue, In this lat- tet work alone, during the past year 119 visits were made while for the same length of time my W. B. STEWART. predecessor made, 71 twelve of which were made in Bemidji. In doing this work from Jan. rith to the following May 13th of this year 1360 % miles were traveled of which 237 were by team, 268 on toot, 26 by boat and the remainder by rail, Notwithstanding the fact that there is a much larger number of schools in the county, 12 being added the past year, there is still a very much larger percentage of teachers in the schools holding first and second grade certificates than at any previous time, an ex- cellent condition of educational growth. My observations lead me to believe the work of the past year and a half has been very pleasing as well as successful on the part of teachers and pupils to school boards and patrons as well as to myself. Beleving I have lived up to the full measure of confidence placed in me, I solicit your co-operation in the interests ot the schools of the county and ask your support at the general election, Nov. 3rd, 1908, Sincerely yours, —W, B.

London, Oct. 3(.—All the suffra- gettes with the exception of two who were arrested Wednesday night dur- ing the disorders in and around the house of commons were arraigned in court and fined $25 each. They re- fused to pay and were consequently sentenced each to one month’s im- prisonment. Of the two exceptions one was a girl under twenty-one years of age and the other a woman who secured an adjournment to lodge a charge of assault against the consta- ble who arrested her.

OF CROOKSTON, MINN., THE RE ELECTION TO CONGRESS F HALVOR STEENERSON, PUBLICAN CANDIDATE FOR RE- ROM THE NINTH DISTRICT. — Halvor Steenerson was born in WlS-A‘ rellet ot settlers on the public domain. consin in 1852, but has been a resi- dent of Minnesota since 1853, his par- ents, who were among the earliest pioneers, having settled on a pre-emp- tion in the southeastern part of the | state in that year. He was reared on & farm and educated in the state schools and in the Union College of Law in Chicago; admitted to the bar in 1878, removed to Crookston in 1880; was elected county attorney that year and state senator in 1882, where he took a leading part in the enactment of the first law for the reg- ulation of railroads, and creating the railroad and warehouse commission of this state, which has been the foundation of all subsequent legisla- tion on the subject. In 1893 he ini- tiated the celebrated grain rate case which was the first instance where the rate making power of the state over its railroads was judicially deter- mined and finally established. He was elected to congress in 1902 and re-elected in 1904 and 1906. He has served continuously during this time as member of the committee on Post Office and Post Roads and of The Militia, of which latter committee he is chairman. During Mr. Steenerson’s service on the postofiice committee many important reforms have been enacted. Rural free delivery has been extended to nearly every -country home, the compensation of rural car- riers increased from $600 to $720, and last year to $900. The compensation of clerks and carriers in city offices and of railway mail clerks has also been equitably adjusted and increas- ed, while the compensation of the railways for transporting the mails has been reduced so as to result in an annual saving of more than eight mil- lions of dollars, thus more than mak- ing up for the increased compensation to clerks and carriers. In order to carry out the recom- mendations of President* Roosevelt and Secretary of War Taft for the strengthening of our national de- fenses, Mr. Steenerson, as chairman of the committee on The Militia, intro- duced in the last session of congress the bill to promote the efficiency of the militia and forced it through the house against the opposition of both republican and democratic floor lead- ers. The passage of this bill against such opposition fixed Mr. Steenerson’s position in the house as one of the strong men of that body, whose influ- ence will count for a great deal in the future. This is one of the laws the passage of which is especially com- mended in the republican national platform and by the president. Mr. Steenerson took a strong stand both in the 59th congress and in.the last session for tariff revision. He in- troduced two bills providing for a tariff commission, and urged their consideration upon the Committee on Ways and Means. It was largely through his efforts that a resolution was finally agreed upon in the last session of congress under which all questions relating to the subject of tariff- revision and readjustment are now being investigated by the com- mittees of the Senate and House pre- paratory to revision early next year. He has also taken an active part in legislation for the regulation of railroads, concerning public lands, In- dians, drainage and conservation of natural resources. In addition to these matters of gen- eral concern, Mr. Steenerson has al- so secured the passage of a large number of private bills, such as pri- vate pension bills, public building bills, relief of soldiers, granting per- mission to build bridges and dams over navigable streams; and for the ! It may be interesting to learn that Mr. Steenerson secured the enactment at the last session of congress of no less than twenty-four bills of a special nature, as follows: 12 pension bills, 2 drainage bills, 2 bridge and 1 dam %bifls, 2 public buildings, 1 making St. Vincent a port of entry for the imme- diate transportation of merchandise, and 5 granting relief to seftlers on the public lands. The work of a representative does | not end with matters of legislation, however. He is constantly called upop to aid in the administration of the law through the different executive | departments. The establishment of new rural and star routes, the expedit- ing of the service thereon, the im- provement or change in railway mail service; the appointment of postmas- | ters; the remedying of grievances of men in the civil service of the gov- | ernment; the adjustment of claims | against the government for mail con | tractors, survey contracts and like | claims. The allowance of pension claims of old soldiers and their widows, and customs claims, the aid- ing of persons whose relatives have | oeen excluded under immigration laws, securing of government protection to citizens abroad, obtaining passports, the distribution of government free publications are only a few things { that a congressman has to attend to. In fact, these services in behalf of the people who are concerned with the government at Washington in its various branches and activities are more onerous than the legislative duties of a member of congress. Mr. Steenerson has given his time and best efforts to his constituents without regard to party affiliations and that his services are appreciated is evidenced by the fact that he has just been nominated for the fourth term without opposition. ‘When he was elected to congress, there were only nine rural routes es- tablished in the district; now there are more than 150 with complete county service in Otter Tail and Clay and part of Becker county, bringing the dally mail to every farmer’s home, | thereby increasing the attractiveness and convenience of home life upon the farm. “As early as his first election to congress, Mr. Steenerson announced as his platform and program °the same measures for the regulation of interstate railroads and of monopolis- tic combinations or trusts as he has since helped to enact into law under the administration of President Roose- velt, ind which, if elected, he will help to perfect and make more ef- | ficient as experience has shown to be necessary. ‘While in congress he has shown his independence and has often been counted among the “insurgents” and opposed to Speaker Cannon and he long ago announced that he was inde- pendént on the speakership and fa- favored such amendments to the House rules as would limit the present power of the speaker without destroy- ing the power of majority to do busi- ness. Before his advent in congress, Mr. Steenerson achieved a high place at the bar, and was especially success- ful in cases brought by him in behalf of laborers and employes of railroads and other industrial corporations to i recover damages for personal injuries or death by reason of negligence of the employer. In his Barnesville speech, Sept. 28th, Mr. Taft, who was introduced by Mr. Stéemerson, said, “I am glad to stand up by your tall congressman and congratulate you on having such a representative. He does you honor | in Washington and looks after your interests, as I can assure you” There 1S Wonaerru unanimity in-tne Democratic agreement that President Roosevelt should not have “butted in” to this campaign. TUnsafety, danger and sensationalism would be the first fruits of Bryan’s election. Reassurance and confidence would follow the election of Mr. Taft. The choice is up to the voters. Democrats who followed the teach- ings and precepts of Mr. Cleveland owe themselves an apology if they support this year the man who voted and worked for the election of Weaver in the memorable campalgn of 1892. “The Republican party is driving the | farmers to ruin,” says Mr. Bryan, No one is driving the farmer this year ex- cept his chauffeur. Bryan has never done anything but j talk, and events have proved that everything he threatened to do would have been disastrous. The United States has broken all world recoids by paying more than $8,000,008,000-.in pensions to the na- tion'sdefénders, and practically every dollar of it has been paid over the pro- testg of the Democratic members of congress. f Destroys J Does not Color the Hair] AYER’S HAIR VIGOR the importance of sav- ingyourteeth.

HAD WARNED PROMOTER Produces Letter Written by Him to Hia Co-Defendant in 1907 in Which He Protested Vigorously Against the Continuance of Practices Which, He Believed, Menaced the Stability of the Bank. New York, Oct. 3.).—Alfred H. Cur- ts, president of the defunct Bank of North America, continued on the stand in the case against himself and Charles W. Morse, the promoter, ac- cused of violating the banking laws. As on the previous day Mr. Curtis at- tempted to put the blame for the vari- ous alleged illegal transactions on Morse. Curtis was under cross-exam- ination by District Attorney Stimson and in telling of the occurrences at the National Bank of North America iat about the time Morse is alleged to have overdrawn his account $210,000 Curtis said many things which were discussed by the directors at meet- ings were not entered in the minutes of such meetings. While none of those remarks which were omitted from the minutes could have been regarded as material in themselves, said the wit- ness, undoubtedly as a whole they in- fluenced the bank’s officers in their actions. He said Charles T. Barney and Mr. Morse were close friends. They frequently discussed the “ice” situation and were optimistic regard- Ing the company's future. Mr. Stimson took up the liquidation of the $160,000 Whiting loan, through the purchase by the bank of 2,000 shares of ice stock at $30 per share, and the making of a loan to Mr. Morse of $40,000 on the 1,000 shares of cop- per that had been put up to strengthen the original Whiting loan. Mr. Curtis was asked to explain how the transaction improved the sit- uation of the bank. He Insisted the 2,000 ice purchased by the bank from Morse at $30 per share could have been sold in the market for ready cash and the proceeds would have liquidated the loan. Mr. Stimson produced a letter signed “C. W. Morse, per W.,” written In response to a notice sent to Mr. Morse of the $40,000 loan made on the 1,000 copper shares. In the let- ter Mr. Morse flatly repudiated the $40,000 loan and declared that the bank had no right to add to it the loan of $270,000 then standing in his name in the bank, saying that the bank well knew the conditions under which it had been made. Mr. Curtis produced a letter written by him under date of June 13, 1907, and addressed to Morse, in which he protested vigorously against the con- tinuance of practices Inaugurated by the latter, which, in Curtis’ opinion, constituted a grave menace to the stability of the Bank of North Amer- fca. BOY HERO LOSES HIS LIFE Eight-Year-Old Perishes in Attempt to Save Mother, San Diego, Cal, Oct. 3)—The eight- year-old son of Joseph Miller, mate on the steamer Kea, proved himself a hero in a fire that cost the child his life, fatally injured his mother and destroyed the Miller home. Mrs. Miller and her five children were in the house when a gasoline stove exploded, filling the rooms with fiames. Seeing that the children were on their way to safety Mrs. Miller at- tempted to jump from a kitchen win- dow, but her dress caught and she hung suspended above the ground. In the meantime eight-year-old Man- uel, missing his mother, re-entered the house and ran from room to room searching for her. He finally entered the kitchen, which was blazing fierce- ly, and when help arrived his body was burned to a crisp. Mrs. Miller was badly burned before being res- cued. Motor Acsident Kills Two. Vienna, Oct. 3'.—Captain Clarence Vyner, a rich American resident of Vienna, started two days ago on a wiotor tour for England with Mme. Bettin of Chile. At Traunstein, a town of Upper Bavaria about twenty miles from Salzburg, the motor car met with an accident while descend- ing a steep hill. Mme. Bettin and the chauffeur were instantly killed and Captain Vyner was serfously injured. The Roosevelt heritage has only in- creased in value since the living testa- tor denied the pretensions of Claimant Bryan. NINETY UNDER ARREST. Heavy Guard Watching Alleged Night Riders Held Prigoners. Samburg, Tenn,, Qct. 3.\\—There are now more than ninety prisoners in camp here. It is practically certain that the most important night riders are now under guard. A heavy guard is watching every movement of the Buspects and they are not allowed to talk to their friends except when a guard is present to hear their conver- sation. A number of women have visited thém, bringing baskets of cakes and other eatables. Major Mar- | tin and Major Norton both brought | tn prisoners and Captain Zopfi of | ment to the home of one Bob Haffman and forced him to get out of bed and accompany them to camp. He is be- Heved to be a prisoner of importance. Governor Patterson remains in camp. Editor James Bryce of the Troy News-Banner, who was brought in Wednesday, has been released and is again at his home. Mrs. Matilda Rassaker, mother of Lhe three Rassaker boys under arrest here, is dead. Heart trouble superin- duced by worry ove: the arrest of her sons is said to have caused her death. MOUNTAINS NO OBSTACLE Wireless Stations in Alaska Working Successfully. Seattle, Wash., Oct. 3..—Advices re- ceived at the local signal office show that the signal service wireless sta- tlons in Alaska have made another record, removing all doubt as to the feasibility of sending wireless mes- sages overland. Fort Gibbon, at the junction of the Tanana and Yukon rivers several hun- dred miles inland, is receiving mes- sages from Nome and St. Michael, 500 miles distant, with many ranges of hills between the two stations. A message sent by the steamer North- western, 1,100 miles west of Cape Flattery, to the United Wirsless sta- tion at Cordova was copied. The mes- sage traveled about twelve hundred miles in an air line over two ranges of mountains capped with snow. DR.
