SUBSCRIPTION---$5.00 PER ANNUM THE EDITOR’S RELIGION. The editor never talks his religion on the street corner, but in the dim little den, called a sanctum in touching Latin recollection, he prays for the souls of those who do ill to their brothers through his types. I do not know why editors are so seldom church members, unless like other niortals longing for heaven, they have wives good enough for two. The editor is sometimes repre- sented with his shirt open, his hair dishelved and his feet rudely adorn- ing the corner of the office desk. Huge clouds of tobacco smoke are pictured about his head. Yet with a stout blackened pipe stem clenched between his teeth he may be writing some sweet, flowery puff of a women’s missionary tea, or laying the last fair wreath of words on the casket of a little child. The golden rule is but seldom seen on newspaper publisher’s walls, but you will generally find it in the old man’s heart, where the holy law says it should be indeed. Some editors look too often on the whiskey bottle, to find surcease from the bitterness of the world. This error is not to be condoned with polish diction, but this can be said, the imbibing editor is seldom a hypo- crite about his cups, as are some who make vaster profession than he. In a word, what trifles of religion the editor may possess he lives out, day by day, fondly hoping that from his dusty, dingy workroom he will finally journey to the New Jerusalem, where all is joy and peace and good- fellowship, and where delinquent subscribers may not break through and steel the heavenly manna from the cherub fingers of his children. —W. P. Chamberlain, in Dakota Republican. CAUSTIC COMMENT. LA. G. Rutledge.] It’s as hard for women to keep money as secrets. Coolness between friends doesn’t count on hot days. Nothing melts a dignified girl like an unexpected kiss. Most people in love act as if it were a delightful torture. A boy’s appearance of meekness may cover a lot of mischief. It’s queer that a ‘“‘good fellow” often has so many bad habits. Run for office if you would know how many friends you haven’t got. Half a loaf is sometimes better than exhausted vitality due to over- work. Life isn’t much of a burden to the woman who looks younger than she is. Many a man who knows that he knows things does not know how to prove it. No matter how homely a girl may be, she doesn’t think people jus- tified in describing her in plain lan- guage. Men’s storm coats come higher this vear than in other The purchaser feels the difference in the neck. seasons. ‘The postal authorities have ruled that registered letters may be deliv- ered only to the addressees. This does not protect husbands who leave letters in the pockets of their -old coats. CLEAN SWEEP IN KANSAS Repeblicans Elect National, State and Congressional Tickets. Topeka, Kan., Nov. j—Republicans claim 80,000 plurality for their state ticket and Taft. Attcrney General Fred S. Jackson, who was opposed by the liquor interests, leads the ticket, ‘Wyandotte, the big county of the state, which includes Kansas City, Kan., went Democratic, nearly defeat- ing Congressman Charles F. Scott, Republican. The Democrats made in- roads on the Republican majority. in the legislature, hut the election of Jo- seph L. Bristow, Rep., as United States serator is assured. All of the eight Republican congressmen were To-elected, most of them by increased majorities. LOWER HOUSE I$ REPUBLICAN @ 0. P. Retains Control of Congress. ABOUT SAME MAJORITY With Thirty-six Districtsto Be Heard From Republicans Have Plurality of Thirty-five—Six Senatorships Are in Doubt, but the Upper Branch of Congress About as at Present. Remaing Washington, Nov. 'i.—With thirty- alx districts yet to be accounted for the Republicans have a majority of thirty-five in the next house. There are six senatorships over which there is some doubt, one each from Ohio, Oregon and Indiana, all of which are now represented by Republicans, and Colorado, Missouri and Nevada, which are represented by Democrats. Elim. inating these six the next senate will stand 59 Republicans and 27 Demo- crats, or if the division of the six should be in the next congress as:in the present, 62 Republicans and 30 Democrats. BRYAN GETS HOME STATE Democrats Also Elect Governor of Nebraska. Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 'j—Beginning with a brilliant victory in his home precinct, William J. Bryan reversed a majority of 2,000 in this oity, carrying this (Lancaster) county by a hand- some plurality and will win the state by 10,000 His vote was unprece- dented, Lancaster being counted the banner Republican stronghold of the state. George L. Sheldon was defeated for governor by 8,000, Ashton C. Shallen- berger, Democrat, running slightly ahead of Bryan. Republicans are claiming the legis- lature by slender majorities. In the First district Congressman E. M. Pol- lard encountered the Bryan wave and his election is in doubt. He lost heav- ily throughout the district and Demo- crats claim the election of Maguire by 500 votes. PENNSYLVANIA REPUBLICAN Taft Carries the State by Over Three Hundred Thousand. Philadelphia, Nov. L—Taft has car- rled Pennsylvania by a plurality that will be nearar 400,000 than 300,000. The returns show a considerable fall- ing off in every county with the excep- tion of two. A heavy vote was polled throughout the state, due principally to the many warm contests in the leg- islative districts. The Republicans hold their own in the congressional districts if they do mot incvease their representation. There "is practically no change in the Republican represen- tation in the legislature. In FPhila- delphia the national ticket carried the city by about 125,000 plurality. RETURNS ARE MEAGER, Result in Colorado Continues in Doubt.. Denver, Nov. i—Returns are so meager as to leave the result in Col- orado on both the national and state tickets in doubt. Bryan probably has carried Denver county by about 2,000 and Shafroth, Democratic candidatc for governor, hy 3,000. It is believed these majorities will be sufficient to overcome possible Republican majori. tles in the remainder of the state. The complexion of the legislature is in doubt. GOVERNORSHIP IN DOUBT But Michigan Gave Taft a Plurality of 120,000. : Detroit, Mich.,, Nov. i—Michigan gave Taft and Sherman a plurality of upwards of 120,000 and the total may reach 150,000. The figures on the gov- ernorship are still incomplete and both the Republican and Democratic committees are claiming the election of their candidates. +| eratic. Republicans Sweep New Jersey. Newark, N. J., Nov. .—The Repub- licans swept the state of New Jersey. Taft will have a plurality which will approach and may exceed that of Roosevelt four years ago, when it was upward of 80,000. Seven of the ten congressmen chosen are Republicans and the Republicans will control both houses of the state legislature. Close on Prohibition. Nashville, Tenn., Nov. i—Both the state and national Democratic tickets have won in this state by from 20, 000 to 30,000. The Democrats have carried all the congressional districts save two—the First and the Second. The complexion of the legislature as regards prohibition is in dispute. Montana Apparently for Taft, Helena, Mont., Nov. j—Latest re- turns in Montana indicate that Taft will have a plurality of 3,000 and Pray, Rep., for congress 2.000. The entire state ticket of the Republiean party is apparently elected with the possible exception of Donlan, Rep., eandidate for governor. Misrepresentation Blamed for Defeat of Mr. Bryan. New York, Nov. j—Declaring that the Democratic party is more united than it has been in many years; that Mr. Bryan was defeated by what he claims was misrepresentation to the effect that his election would hurt business interests, Chairman Mack of the Democratic national committee is- sued a statement in which he an- nounces extensive plans fo advance the party’s interests during the next i 3 5 Mr. Mack avers he has no apologles to make relatiye to the Republican victory and pays a high tribute to Mr. Bryan, saying he made “the most magnificent fight ever wagered by a candidate.” < Taft Carries Every County. Portland, Ore., Nov. ,—The returns trom nearly every county in the state indicate a plurality approximately of 24,000 for Taff. Taft will carry every county with pluralities ranging from 100 to about 8,000 in Multnomah. The vote in Oregon approximately is Taft 65,000, Bryan 40,000. The Socialist, Prohibition and Independence parties polled about 10,000 votes. Smaller Than Roosevelt’s. ‘White River Junction, Vt., Nov. §.— Complete returns from the state of Vermont give Taft 39,5692; Bryan 11, 688; Hisgen 719. Taft's plurality ia 27,904. Four years ago Roosevelt had & plurality of 30,677. Cannon Has Usual Plurality. Danville, Ill, Nov. '/—Speaker Jo- seph ‘G. Cannon has been re-elected to congress from the Eighteenth distriot by a plurality considerably above the normal. TAFT HAS NEARLY 900,000 PLURALITY Hughes’ Majority in New York. State About 70,000, New York, Nov. .—The pluralities of Taft for president and Hughes for gevernor in Naw York state bave not been materially changed by more complete returns. With eighty out of 4,669 districts missing, Taft’s plurality has been raised to 199,585, an increase of about 2,000 from the earlier esti- mate, and with ninaty-seven districts missing and thirty-five estimated Hughes plurality for governor has been reduced to 69,819. Late returns leave no doubt upon the election of the full Republican state ticket by substantial pluralities gll along the line. ‘While Taft carried New York city by a plurality of over 15,000 Chanler carried the city by about 50,000 and Tarmany Hall put in office all of its important local candidates. Republican Gains in Georgia. Atlanta, Ga., Nov. §—Although Georgia gave Bryan a substantial plu- rality of about 20,000, Republican gains were shown throughout the state. Taft received a small majority in two counties and Watson, the Popu- list candidate, carried three counties. All the Democratic congressmen wers re-elected and the re-election of Sena~ tor Clay, Dem., is assured. Bryan Leads in West Virginia. ‘Wheeling, W. Va., Nov. j—Returns from West Virginia are coming in slowly, but enough have been received to indicate a slight advantage for Bryan, although the margin is so slight that the state may still go to the Republican column. Republicans Sweep Connecticut. New Haven, Conn., Nov. ..—The Republicans swept the state of Con- necticut fully as completely, perhaps a little more so, as four years ago, Taft carrying the state by more thaa 30,000 plurality, and Cengressman George L. Lilley, the Republican can- didate for governcr, going to offica by about 15,000 plurality. Idaho Goes Republican. Boise, I1da., Nov. . .—Taft’s plurality in Idaho may reach 15,000. Late re- turns indicate the election of James H. Brady, Rep.. for governor by 3,000 to 5,000. Th= legislature is Republic- an on joint ballot, but the Democrats may control the senate. The entire Republican ticket is elected. Overwhelmingly Democratic. Columbia, S. C., Nov. /—South Car- olina gives Bryan about 55,000 major- ity, while the state and congressional tickets are overwhelmingly Demo- M. J. Ansel has been re-elect- ed governor without opposition. Taft Leads by 40,000. Seattle, Wash., Nov. J—With only partial returns from the thirty-seven counties Taft has a lead of 40,000. Cosgrove, Rep., for governor runs con- siderable behind Taft, but will be elected by 25,000 plurality. Maine Strongly Republican. Portland, Me., Nov. h—Taft and Sherman were given a plurality of 82,000 in Maine out of a total vote for the two leading parties ®f 108,000. Nevada Is Democratic. Reno, Nev., Nov. 5.—Reports so far received indicate a majority for Bryan in Nevada of 1,500 to 1,800 out of about 18,000 votes cast. Semator New- lands, Dem., is re-elected by a popular vote with a majority of 2,000 to 8,000. Congressman Bartlett, Dem., is re- elected by a majority of 2,000. BY A SMALL PLURALITY. Governor Burke Probably Re-Elected in North Dakota. Fargo, N. D., Nov. J.—Late returns show little change in the North Da- kota situation. Taft's majority keeps climbing. Two neck and neck races are for the governorship and the sen- atorial endorsement. Johnson leads Burke for governor on the returns so fur, while Marshall is slightly in the lead over M. N. Johnson on the sena- torship. The entire Republican ticket has been elected with the possible ex- ception of governor and this office ap- pears to have gone to John Burke, the present incumbent, by a small major- HNSON AGAIN WINS CONTES Elected (iov;emor of Minne- sota for Third Time. KCLEARY LOSES FIGHT —_— Fails to Regain Congressional Seat in Second Minnesota District From Hammond, Dem.—Governor Cum: mins Defeats Ex-Congressman Lacey In lowa Senatorial Fight—Results In Other Northwestern States, St. Paul, Nov. s—Governor John- son’s plurality over J. F. Jacobson for governor may exceed 20,000 when the returns are all in, while Taft’s plural- ‘1;0? over Bryan will be more than 100, 0. . The estimate of plurality for John- son is based upon almost complete retures from the cities and returns from about two-fifths of the precincts outside the Twin Citles. Johnson’s plurality in Minneapolis is 9,591 and his majority in Ramsey county is around 6,000. Returns from about 1,000 of about 2,500 precincts outside of the Twin Citles give Jacobson 55, 709 votes and Johnson 57,000. If the same proportion is carried through the rest of the country districts Johnson will carry the counties outside of Ramsey and Hennepin by a little over 8,000. Adding this to the 10,000 in Hennepin and the 6,000 in Ramsey and he will have at least 20,000 plu- rality. In the congressional contests Me- Cleary, Rep., in the Second was de- feated by Hammond, Dem., the pres- ent incumbent, by an even larger plu- rality than two years ago. The only other contest of note was in the First district, where James A. Tawney, Rep., won out by 2,000 votes after the fight of his life. The other seven dis- tricts were strongly Republican. Close on Governorship. Concord, N. H., Nov. /—Taft has carried this state by about 20,000 plu- rality. Henry B. Quinby, Republican candidate for governor, will probably have 4,000 plurality, but as a majority is required to elect, the vete of the minor parties may cut an appreciable figure in determining the result. The legislature will be strongly Republi- can and the two Republican congress- men were re-elected. A BALD-HEADED WOMAN Shorn of Her Crown of Beauty Loses In Love and Marriage. Hair is certainly most necessary to woman. Who could love and marry a bald-headed woman? What charms could one array to offset such a disfigurement? A woman’s goal is usually love and marriage. Her crowning glory is ber hair. The loss of her hair mars her beauty, happiness and success.. Yet, right here i Bemidji, there are thousands of women who are neglect- ing or injuring their hair to such an extent that itis only a matter of time when it will be utterly ruined. Many women destroy the beauty of their hair through thoughtlessness or ignorance of certain facts. They use curling irons over-heated, or to excess, which destroyes the natural oil of the hair, causing it to split, break and come out. They do not shampoo the hair often enough, or too often. They use soaps or pre- paratious which contain ingredients poritively harmful to the scalp and hair. Asa result of such treatment, dandruff is created, the hair loosens, loses color, falls out, and baldness commences, unless proper and promt precautions are taken in time. Then again, microbes and certain diseases bring about unhealthy scalp and hair conditions. Almost anyone may rid themselves of dandruff and diseased scalp and hair if they will but use the right| " remedy. We have that remedy, and we will positively guarantee” that it will either cure dandruff and bald- ness or it will not cost the user any- thing, . That’s a pretty broad statement, butjwe will back it and prove it with our own money. Rexall “93” Hair Tonic is the remedy that will grow hair and overcome all scalp and hair troubles. It will grow hair even on bald heads, unless all life in.the hair roots has been extinguished, the follicles clcsed, and the scalp is glazed and shiny. It gets its name from the fact thac it grew hair in 93 out of 100 cases, where it received a thoroughly hard, impartial and prac- tical test. We want you to try Rexall 93, Hair Tonic at our risk.. :You surely cannot lose anything by doing so, while you have everything to gain.
