AAANARARANASNNR JUSUUUIDIDIIIIN SUBSCRIPTION---85.00 PER ANNUM _———— — WELCOME TO THE NORMAL COMMITTEE. In common with every interest in| the city of Bemidji, the Pioneeri extends a sincere welcome to the visiting members of the normal| school committees of the senate and house of the Minnesota legislature. We trust that their stay in our midst will be an enjoyable one, and that nothing will intervene to prevent the gentlemen from obtaining all infor- mation possible concerning our thriving metropolis of northern Min- nesota, and that they will receive every courtesy which it is intended will be shown them. The citizens of Bemidji are unani- mous in their desire to give the com- mittee every assistance in gaining knowledge of our resources, morality, and rapid development and increase in population, as well as being thirty-third degree entertainers. We hope that there will be no un- pleasant occurrence to mar the pleasure of the visit here; and when the committee goes back to St. Paul, our citizens will accept whatever re- port the committee may see fit to make—relying on the fairness and impartiality of the gentlemen in whose care is left the recommending of the best town in which to locate the school to the best advantage. Fairness to all applicants and favor to none is Bemidji’s desire. CAUSTIC COMMENT. (A. G. Rutledge.] Following the vote in Tennessee, the jug market has advanced with leaps and bounds. Techincally, the “Golden Gate” ought to be the one place where the “Yellow Peril” could enter the coun- try. The coal man and the ice man have been shouldered to one side by the egg man—and he’s soaring some. <ougiued suuuie Mr. Roosevelt can send postcripts by wireless, even after he sails for Africa. semEmuet tud Eventually we may reach an epoch where we will hold public meetings to tell why some public men were not great, thus giving the young two kinds of examples to observe. The deadlock between the ground hog and the warm weather appears to have been very effectually broken, during the past few days—and his porkness won’t come out again in a hurry, either.

IMPORTANT MEDICAL DISCOVERY MADE Antitoxin for Pneumonia, Blood Poison and Typhoid, Boston, Feb. 1! —After two years ot experimenting a vaccine, which, it is said, will successfully check the germs of . pneumonia, blood poisoning and typhoid fever, has been discovered in the. lahoratory of Tuft’s medical school. The announcement is made through Dr. Timothy - Leary, head pathologist at the school, who said that an antitoxin for these three dis- eases had been perfected and that ar- rangements would soon be made to supply physicians. The Tuft pathol- ogists worked into practical use the theories advanced by Sir A. E. Wright of London that dead germs automat- ically create an antitoxin in'the blood for all living germs.of the same kind; in other words, dead germs in the blood form a poison that is fatal to all living germs of the same kind with which it comes in contact. Following out this theory it was proved that it is possible to inject into the blood dead germs and that after the inoc- ulation they will form this antitoxin, fatal to all living germs of the same kind. Working on this it was only a question of isolating che germ in ques- tion. Madman Wields Knife on Train.

ENDS IN VICTORY FOR PRESIDENT Fight on Anti-Japanese Leg- islation in California. BEGAN TWO YEARS AGO Measures Introduced at Previous Ses- sion Wlthdrawp at Mr, Roosevelt's Request, He Promising to Negotiate a Treaty With Japan to Restrict Immigration—Reappearance: of Bills Brings Protest From Japan, Sacramento, Cal, Feb. 1'—The nntl-.lapanes_e measure just defeated In the California legislature has been the sensation of two legislatures. It was first introduced at the session two years-ago by Grove L. Johnson of Sacramento, = ex-congressman from this district and a member of the state lawmaking .body for years, It was framed at the request of the San Francisco board of education after the latter had passed a resolution barring Japanese children from the schools attended by white scholars and as- signing them to the institutions at- tended by Chinese. The law specified that Mongolians .and Indians should be segregated and the :board’s action was based on the contention that the Japanese belonged .to the Mqngolian race. This the Japanese denied as strenuously. The mikado’s ~govern- ment protested to President Roosevelt and the members of the school board, headed by the then mayor, Eugene E. Schmitz, were summoned to a confer- ence at Washington by the chief ex- ecutive of the nation. The president sent an urgent message to the gov- ernor and the legislature of this state asking that the bill be withdrawn, at least for the period of two years, as- suring them that in the meantime a treaty would be negotiated with Ja- pan to do all in its power to restriot Tapanese immigration and alleviate the couditions protested against by the Japanese and Korean Exclusion league of California, as well as nu- merous labor troubles. Assemblyman Jobnson, when he presented it again on the first day of the presentation of bills at this ses- sion, sfated that he had done so with- out prompting by the Asiatic Exclu- sion league or any other organization. Japanese Again Protest. Sc soon as the-Japanese heard the news of the revival of the bill Japan made representations to Washington that it would, if passed, violate the treaty rights of that nation and after o consultation with Secretary of. State Root the presides wired Governor Gillett, urging that action be delayed again. But.it was not ovei the school bill . that . i~ 2adaral anthsbies seemed to be concerned.. They did not believe at that time that it would be passed. The president specifically mentioned as obnoxious a measure in- troduced by A. M. Drew-of Fresno, prohibiting the ownership of lands by aliens. As Japanese:are not permit- ted to become citizens they consid- ered the bill as a blow aimed espe- cially at them. Governor Gillett sent ; |8 message to the legislature asking that the land bill be killed and this was done. " But ldter when the school bill, which had ;been quietly reported out favorably by the committee to which it was referred, was called up for final passage it was adopted by a vote of 48 to 28. The president was astounded by the news and at once wired Governor Gillett that this was “the most offen- sive bill of all." c ‘Walter Leeds of Los Angeles had given notice that he would move to reconsider _the vote by which the measure passed and the governor sent Rnother message urging the assembly to_reconsider and kill it. This precipitated a battle that cul- minated in a victory for the president, Hopes Agitation ls Over. ‘Washingten, Feb. 1.\—President Rooseyelt expressed.himself as much pleased with the action of the Cali- fornia‘legislature in killing the anti- Japanese bill. In talking on the sub- ject with Representative Englebright of that state he said he hoped the ngitation-on thie coast was-over for a long time. Ancther Jap Bill Defsated. Sacramento, Cal.,, Feb. 1%.—Senator guestion of Asiatic immigration to a vote of the people was defeated by a vote of 22 to 12. Wisconsin License Bill.
