THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER A A A A A A A A AN PUBLISHED NVERY AFTERNOON, BEMIDJI PIONEER PUBLISHING CO. By CLYDE J."PRYOR. ¥ntered in the postofice at Bemidil. Minn. as second class matter. SUBSCRIPTION---$5.00 PER ANNUM “CAPTURE OR DESTROY” —CASS LAKE'S MOTTO. 2 The last issues of the Cass Lake Times and the Cass Lake Voice contain what the writers on those papers probably mean for an answer to the statement made by the Pioneer recently, wherein some of the claims made by the supporters of that town for the normal school were shown up and proven to be utterly false, as well as purely malicious. About the only answer either of the papers can give is a personal attack on an employe of the Pioneer, which employe is not the responsible head for what appears in these: columns. Neither of the Cass Lake papers attempts to disprove the statements made by the Pioneer relative to the government reservoirs filling the swamp along the Cass lake shore, nor do they dispute any of the other statements made by this paper, the Voice saying that the statements contained in the Pioneer would be believed as true by anyone not living in Cass Lake—certainly an admis- sion of the truth thereof when presented to any neutral party who was not looking through prejudiced spectacles. The Times says that the Pio- neer has threatened to oppose an appropriation for a normal school, if Cass Lake gets it. This is a lie, pure and simple, and only in keeping with the policy pur- sued by the Times and its co-labor- ers, who have strained every nerve in trying to make neutral people believe that their over-boomed town can “make good” on the thousand and one virtues heretofore claimed for the burg. Neither the Pioneer or the citizens of Bemidji will follow the policy pur- sued by the Cass Lake people with reference to their county court house at Walker, wherein the Cass Land company and the other “big guns” on “Fifteen” opposed the completion of the Cass county court house at Walker, simply because the Walker people had outgeneraled them, owing to the slowness of a certain Cass Lake attorney in handling the Cass Lake end of the fight. Despite the statements of assur- ance on the part of the Cass Lake Times, Cass Lake has not yet been designated as the location for the proposed sixth state normal school; and should northern Minnesota not receive a normal at the hands of the legislature, that obstreperous hamlet can be blamed for the result, be- cause of its “‘capture or destroy” policy, which has been followed to the letter, in opposition to several of the best towns in northern Minne- sota. FORTY THOUSAND WILL MARGH FOR GOMPERS Boston Workers Will Meet in 0ld Faneuil Hall Tomorrow. Boston, March 1,—The greatest la- bor demonstration in the history of Boston will take place tomorrow. Forty thousand men, members of the unfons of this city, will march in pa- rade and attend mass meetings as a protest against the sentencing of President Gompers, Vice President Mitchell and Secretary Morrison of the American Federation of Labor for contempt of court. The announced purpose of the dem- onstration is “to voice the protest of the workingmen of Boston and vicin- ity against the abuse of the injunc- tlon process by the judiciary, the en- croachments by the courts on the con- stitutlonal rights of free speech, free press, trial by jury and other rights guaranteed by the Constitution and to take furthez steps to secure legisla- tion to define and limit the powers of Judges in injunction cases.” Members of more than 300 Bosténd TRIS: it is belleved, is often done for unions have declared their purpose of marching in the parade. The proces- slon will be followed by big mectings in the affernoon in historic Faneuil hall and elsewhere. Killed in Fight Over Dog. Hot Springs, Ark., March 1} —Will- fam Garrett of Portland, Ore., was killed by Harry English in a fight over a small terrier dog. The prin- clpals were strangers. Garrett’s dog grabbed the trousers’ leg of English, a hotelkeeper, and English kicked the dog. ~ A fisticuff followed, in which Garrett was felled, the back of his head striking the cement walk, pro- ducing concussion of the brain. He died half an hour later. i < vaoy TWO PRIMARY BILLS KILLED Sullivan Amendment AIsb Voted * Down in the Senate. 10 CHANGE LIKELY THIS YEAR Belleved That Present Primary Law Will Be Allowed to Stand—House Kills Measure Allowing 8aloons In Large Citias to Keep Open Until | Midnight—Senate Committee Favors Anti-Cigarette Bill. St. Paul, March 12.—There is little Hkelihood that the present primary slection law will be changed at this session. The senate in turn deteated the Moonan bill for -state-wide pri- mary, the Sullivan amendment to the Canfleld bill leaving the system as it is except for a primary system for the delegates to the state convention, and lastly, killed the Canfield bill itself, which abolishes the primary. system except for the election of delegates to the conventions. The senate spent the entire after- noon on the two bills and both John Moonan of Waseca and E. H. Canfleld of Luverne and others gave able argu- ments in detense of their positions. Party lines were crossed in every di- rection and the three roll calls showed a wide difference of opinion. Unless the house members change their opinions there will be no mid- night 1id 1aw passed by this legislature for the house killed the O’Brien.bill permitting cities of 80,000 or over to allow saloons to be kept open until midnight. The house seemed friendly toward the idea at first'and was will- Ing to includs some other cities in the ' lid lifting. When the vote which in- definitely postponed the bill was an- nounced, it came as a surprise. The vote was 48 to 35. Amendments Voted Down. ‘When the bill came up H. Jorgen- son of Mankato offered two amend- ments, one extending the bill to citles of the second class, which took in Wi- nona, and then one to cities of the third cluss, which took in Stillwater end Mankato. J. N. Johnson moved to extend it to cities of the fourth class also, but this was voted down. ‘There was some jookeying on both sldes, but the matter came to a real vote twice and each time the oppo- nents of the bill won by about the tome vote. At the same session the committee of the whole acted favorably on Sena- tor Alderman’s bill Jimiting saloons to one for each 500 population. Some of the leaders of the temperance forces fought the bill, but were unable to at- tach any amendments. The bill as it stands will allow any city to continue having as many sa- loons as it now has, but will not per- mit the licensing of new saloons when a city has one for each 500 people. A resolution urging congress to take Immediate action towards the con- struction of a canal between Lake Su- perior and the Mississippi river was passed in the house. J. H. Dorsey of Glencoe is the au- thor and his resolution recites that the freight tonnage at Duluth is the largest of any port in America; that the Soo canal carries three times as much freight as the Suez canal; that Minnesota ships each year 30,000,000 tons -of ore and 300,000,000 bushels of ‘wheat, and that 900,000,000 bushels of other grain are shipped from this section of the country each year. To Connect Lakes and River. The resolution adds that by a canal of fifty miles the Mississippl river could be conneceted with the lakes and this territory’ get the benefit of.the lake shipping. ; [ The 119 members of the house of representatives will go and see the proposed site for the Armour packing plant near New Brighton next Monday afternoon. When Speaker Rockne an:- nounced the committee of fifteen un- der the Conley resolution of Wednes- day to go and look at the site, J. G- Lemnon of Minneapolis, who at first had opposed the selection of a com- mittee, made the motion to have the whole house go and look at the site. He said that Minneapolis would stand the cost. J. D. O’Brien of St. Paul objected to Minneapolis paying for an “impartial” investigation, and upon the suggestion of J. F.-Selb, Lennon agreed that St. Paul pay half. There is strong probability that the senate will pass the bill prohibiting the sale or gift of cigarettes, which' passed the house at a night session undor suspension of the rules. The bill was considered by the senate com- mittee on .public health and the senti- ment of the committee was for pass- age, but the report was held up to allow merchants to be heard. The bill was amended so that job- bers in this state may sell to custom- ers in other states, and so that the bill will not take effect until Aug. 1 A comprehensive ‘inheritance tax bill was introduced in the house by T. Kneeland of Minneapolis ‘and D. A. Stuart of Windom. It comes as an amendment to the present inheritance tax law, but the principal aim-of the Bill is to reach those who give away their property before death or sell it for a nominal sum to their relatives. the purpose of evadiug the present law.

RUMORS OF WAR IN GENTRAL AMERICA Gunboats of Nicaragua and Sal- Yador Clash. Mexloo City, March 1)~It s per sistently rumored here that war has broken out between Nicaragua and Salvador and that there has been an engagement between the Salvadorean gunboat * Presidente and . the Nio araguan gunboat Momotombo. The re sult is unknown. The Mexican government {s without official advices as to the truth of these rumors. The Herald advocates annexation of the five Central American states by Mexico. The general opinion here it that intervention is inevitable and Mexico looks to the United States t¢ make the initial move. One Hundred Stables Quarantined. Philadelphia, March 1)—One hun- dred stables in various sections of the city and- 1,500 horses are under quarantine as the result of an out: break of mange discovered by the state live stock sanitary board.

The previous record was 1,254, held by Chalmers and Kiene of Chicago. 2 BABIES SUBJECT T0 COUGHS AND COLDS KICK ‘OFF THE COVER AND TAKE COLD. How One Baby Was Cured. of & Dreadful Cold by Chamber- lain's Cough Remedy. . All the world loves a baby and everyone is more or less interested in their health and happiness. = There probably never was a baby. that did not kick off tie covers and take cold; in fact, babies are particularly susceptible to colds and croup, and the favor- ite remedy for these ailments is Chamber- lain’s Cough Remedy. It always gives quick relief and'is pleasant and safe to take, in fact, it contains nothing injurious, Mothers have become ncquainted with this fact and do not_ hesitate to give it to their. babies when guch a preparation is required. - Mrs. John D. Harmon, of Melfa Station, Va., saye: “About two weeks ago our baby had a dreadful cold, and at one timeé T feared it would have pneumonia, but one of our neighbors told how Chamberlain's Cough hemedy had cured her little boy, and T be- gun giving it to our baby at once and it soon cured her. T had tried other remedies and they all failed to do her any good, Our baby is now well and we heartily thank Chamberlain's.Cough Remedy, for it cured her. I cannot recommend it too highly or say too much i its favor. - I hope all who read this will try it and be convinced as I was.” g For Sale a CALLS IT CASE OF SUICIDE Coroner Investigates Latest Dayton (0.) Tragedy. Dayton, O., March 1)—The body of the woman found floating in the canal here is that of Mrs. Francis Doolittle, formerly of Akron, O.

New York, March 1,—With Cibot and Orphee twenty-one miles ahead of their nearest competitors ten and - a half teams-of plodders are represented in the six-day go-as-you-please race in ‘Madison Square Garden. The race has become a procession, with great odds in favor of the French team. Hartley is still struggling along without a partner, waiting for some ohe to drop out and give him a place. s e Barker’s Drug Stere| FRANCE FACES LARGE DEFICIT Revenues Far Below Expen: ditures Planned, _ NAVAL SCANDAL AIRED Corruption in Matter of Contracte Hat Startled the Country and It Is Charged That a Monopoly Existe Among -the Contractors and That Exorbitant Prices. Are Made or Supplies. Parls, March t)—France, like the United States, is confronted with a big deficit in her revenues. The sl uation in this country is rendered the more serlous by the large number of Dpending socialistic projects involving heavy drafts on the treasury. The¢ budgot of 1909 necessitated the issu¢ | of $12,000,000 in treasury bonds, while the regular estimates for 1910 show 3 deficit of $45,600,000 and this, withoul taking into consideration the proposed ‘workmen’s old age and state raflroad employes’ pension = proposals, which together involve a sum of $37,800,000 more. This situation complicates the pro posal to revise the French tariff and it already has preecipitated a quarre! between M. Cailloux, minister = of finance; and M. Pleard, minister of marine, over the insistence of the lat: ter on large credits to restore the efficiency of naval material. Scandalous corruption in the matter of naval contracts revealed lately by M. Picard has startled the country and ‘the minister of marine has prac tically refused to continue in office unless he is granted sufficient funds to put the navy in first class order. It has been learned that a regular mo nopoly existed among the navy con: tractors, who charged exorbitani prices and made enormous profits. _In one case boilers costing $150,000 were purchased for ships that werd put out of commission before the boil ers were furnished.
