SUBSCRIPTION---$5.00 PER ANNUM GOVERNOR JOHNSON DID RIGHT IN VETOING CASS LAKE BILL. To Governor John A. Johnson is due the thanks of the people of north- central and northwestern Minnesota for the courage which he exhibited yesterday in vetoing the bill passed by both houses of the ' legislature, locating a sixth state normal school at Cass Lake, thus putting the seal of his disapproval on an act which was passed simply as a token of “good fellowship” for two of the members of the legislature and with- out regard to the fitness of the vil- lage of Cass Lake as a proper loca- tion for such an institution, when compared with other cities and vil- lages in the territory to be affected by the proposed school. Many times, since the legislature convened, have the supporters of Cass Lake openly boasted that while Bemidji and Thief River Falls were by far better suited for the location of a state normol school, yet Cass Lake and her supporters had the “political pull” with the legislative solons and had “cinched” the school even before the legislature convened. These statements were repeated, even to the point of insolance, and the Cass Lake newspapers boasted of their political preference, scoffing atthe idea that the visit of any legislative committee would be any- thing else than a mere matter of form, which could possibly make no difference in the ultimate result of choosing Cass Lake as the point for the new normal. After the final vote was taken in the house last Friday and sixty mem- bers voted in favor of the Cass Lake bill, a representative of the Pioneer personally interviewed fully two- thirds of the affirmative voters as to their reasons for voting aye on the proposition. Of those interviewed, not one member was willing to be placed on record as having favored the Cass county town because that place was more eminently fitted for the location of the school than Bemidji, Thief River Falls, Red Lake Falls, Warren or Park Rapids. On the contrary, with one accord they gave as au excuse that Mc- Garry was a good fellow and they couldn’t go back on him. The majority report of the house normal school committee, which favored the adoption of a ‘‘general” bill leaving the location to the nor- mal school board, which was emi- nently fitted to selecta site after due consideration and investigation, was entirely ignored by the sixty men who saw fit to vote to place an impor- tant state institution simply on the geniality possessed by an associate member. The determination of Cass Lake’s supporters to get the school for Cass Lake irrespective of qualifications and fitness has caused many deroga- tory remarks; and the action of Governor Johnson in vetoing the Cass Lake bill and refusing to be a party to the unreasonable action of the legislature will meet with the unstinted approval and commenda- tion of all who are acquainted with the true qualifications of Cass Lake and who do not believe in subjugat- ing every interest to political pull and intrigue. Governor John A. Johnson did exactly right ALASKA DOG RACE WINNERS Hundreds of Thousands of Dollars Wagered on Result. Seattle, Wash., April 7—A special cablegram from Nome states that the Nome-Candle Creek dog race, pro- moted by the Nome Kennel club and upon which hundreds of thousands of dollars were wagered, was won by Berger’s teams, Numbers 1 and 2, driven by Scotty Allen and Percy Blatchford, respectively. They fin- ished first and second as named. Ber- ger wins the purse of $11,000"in gold and will hold for a year the handsome Suter trophy hung up for the All- Alaska sweepstake. The distance was 412 miles and the winner’s time 82 hours and 2 minutes. The second team was seventeen min- utes behind the first. Fink's Siberian dogs, upon whose success ~$100,000 ‘was wagered, became snow blind and finished third. There were fourteen teams in the race. The course was lined with en- thusiastic = citizens, most of - whom closed their places of business during the progress of the contest.

TEN THOUSAND FOR PRIZES And Twenty Thousand Dollars Ap- propriated for Bulletin Service and Traveling Lecturers—House Would Abolish the Old System of Buying Books for Public Schools—Big Stone Lake Dyke Bill Passed. St. Paul, April 6—The passage of the bill by J. M. Hackney of St. Paul permitting the establishment of a cor- respondence course in farming in con- nection with the state university starts the state toward the head of the procession of states which are taking education to the homes of the people. The bill was amended on general or- ders by cutting the appropriation from $75,000 to $50,000 and before passage it was further reduced to $30,000. One-third of this amount is to be distributed as prizes among the farmers for the best crops. The rest will start a bulletin service and a emong the farmers upon topics close- 1y related to their work. Many of the country members were opposed to it, there being a minority report when the bill came from the senate finance committee. After a speech by F. B. Wright of Minneapolis, in which he called For- mer Commissioner C. C. Andrews a pensioner who had never put out a fire and never will, the house killed the bill increasing the salary of the forestry commission from $1,500 to $2,000. C. E. Stone, the author, and several others said that a position with the responsibility of preserving hundreds of millings of dollars’ worth of tim- ber, should surely be worth $2,000 a year, but the house could not see it that way. Bill Will Die in Committes. The senate committee on public bealth decided that it would be a waste of tim2 to consider the Armour plant bill in the senate, and it will be permitted to die peacefully in com- mittee. This bill gave jurisdiction over packing plants between two and five miles from a state building. to the state board of health. The bill was killed in the house, and there is little hope of a senate bill on the same Eubject receiving favorable considera- tion. The house killed the bill intros duced by C. J. Wohlhuter of Albert Lea requiring the annual publication of the assessed valuation of each de- scription of real property in each county. The editors of the state were behind the bill, and J. C. Morrison of the Morris Tribune and others ap- peared before the house tax commit- tee last week in favor of the bill, but the committee thought that it would cost the state about $100,000 a year for this work, without being of any benefit to any one except the editors, In spite of some oppesition during the debate, the house passed E. A. King’s bill requiring abutting owners to pay half each of the cost of parti- tion fences when either of the prop- erty owners think that fence is neces- sary. The Gates bill, authorizing counties to erect their own tuberculosis sana- taria, passed the house. Farmers to Get Pay for Healthy Cows. The senate passed the Wright- Swanson bill increasing the amount farmers will get for condemned tuber- cular cattle. At:present if a cow is killed as the result of a tuberculin test and found to be free from the disease and farmer recovers nothing. The law is to be changed so that on an appeal for a’ post-mortem ex- amination the animal is found healthy the owner will be entitled to full com- pensation. The house passed the bill introduced by Representative R. J. Wells and others, doing away with the present contract system of buying books for the school libraries of the state. The bill allows school boards to buy their Hbrary books wherever they please, and if they certify to the state super- intendent that they have expended $20 or more in the purchase of books the state will refund $10. Hitherto the state has made a con- tract with a St. Paul firm to furnish books: at a .certain price, and the school got the state ald only when they bought books from the list fur- nished by this company. The senate took the first step to- ‘ward protecting the Minnesota valley from floods by passing the bill intro- duced, by R. G. Farrington of Orton- course of lectures in the country | ¥ille and C. A. Fohnson of St.: Peter providing for the dyking of the Big Stone lake. This will cost $25,000, and if it becomes a law the dyke will" be. constructed next spring. Carl Wallace’s bill, exempting bonds issued by the state, counties, school districts and municipalities from taxation, passed the house. It was stated that at present all these bonds have to be sold to parties out- side the state, because people in the state who have to pay the taxes on |° them get nothing left of the interest. The bill; it was said, would encourage investment by Minnesota people “In home securities. - UNUSUAL GOALITION IN WORK OF REFORM Brewers fo Assist Cincinnati Anti-Saloon League, Cincinnati, April 7.—This city is now to witness the unusual coalition of brewers, the Anti-Saloon league and the Municipal Reform league in a unit- |- ed effort to put the bad saloonkeeper out of business. Through the efforts of the Ohio Brewers’ association the state legisla- ture passed the Dean “character” law, under which the saloonkeeper must swear to a number of interrogatories as to whether he has violated the Sun- day closing law or allowed minors to enter his saloon and so on, If the saloonkeeper answers “no” to all the | interrogatories but it is found he has not given a correct answer to a single one his license is to be revoked. The brewers declare they will aid the reformers in an effort to put the bad saloonkeeper out of business. A brewing company at Hamilton an-| nounces that it will not sell beer to a saloonkeeper who keeps his saloon open on Sunday. Nurse Ends Her Life. Albany, N. Y., April 7.—Disappoint- ed in love Fthel C. Shaw, an attractive woman about twenty-eight years old, was found dead in her room in the Ten Eyck hotel.

Press Displays Great Inter- est in’ Ex-President. VIEW OF CORRESPONDENTS Newspaper Men Sent to Naples G2 Noted American Talked Mostiy About Himself and Manifested a Dis position to “Preach”—Quote Him as Saying He Was Elected President as a Representative of Honesty. Paris, April 7.—The French press is displaying great interest and curios- ity in Theodore Roosevelt. “When the Caesar of modern democracy goes hunting FEurope, Asia, Africa and America climb to their windows and watch the caravan of publicity pass” is the way one of the papers describes Mr. Roosevelt’s journey to East Af- rica. A majority of the French corre- spondents sent to Naples to chronicle their impressions of Mr. Roosevelt say that the former president of the Unit- ed States is absorbed in himself. They describe his cabin as filled with his books and littered with photographs of himself and the members of his family. They say that the only ob- Ject not relating to Mr. Roosevelt him- self in his cabin was a photograph of Emperor William, bearing the impe- rial signature in green ink, Mr. Roosevelt talked freely, but principally about himself and his work, the correspondents say, and he manifested a disposition to “preach.” In his conversation he touched upon { his’ Knickerbocker ancestry and his experiences as a ranchman in the Far West. Turning to politics he said he had been elected to the presidency as a representative of honesty against the power of gold. Oil' Kings: and Steel Emperors. “I have always maintained that probity in private life is indispensible 10 public life,” Mr. Roosevelt is quot- ed as saying. “I have fought the oil kings and the stecl emperors; they tried to break my back, but my back is still intact.” Mr. Roosevelt is further quoted as having said that the president of the TUnited States was more powerful than any constitutional monarch of Europe. He pointed out, the French corre- spondents aver, that he possessed the power of veto; that he appointed the .| entire diplomatic corps and the high governmental functionaries and that he was a maker of treaties with only the consent of those which he charac- terized as the “national regulator.” He said that for the two terms while president he spent his time in fighting the trusts and thaf he rejoiced that he had left behind an America where the only king will be the state. “The machinery of -state will now roll on without me,” Mr. Roosevelt is quoted as saying, “but with the impetus I have given Mr. Taft, my good succes- sor, will build the Panama canal, con- tinue to increase the army and navy and check the trusts if they again be- come too obstreperous.” SAILS ON AFRICAN STEAMER Roosevelt Begins Second Stage of His Journey. Naples, April 7.—After spending nearly twenty-four hours here, where he was given an enthusiastic ‘welcome by the people of the city, Theodore Roosevelt began the second stage of his journey to the East African protec- torate and Uganda on board the steam- er Admiral. He is due at Mombasa April 21. . Before, going on board the Admiral Mr. Roosevelt thanked the head of the Neapelitan police, Chevalier Cala- bresi, for the excellent protection af- forded him during his stay on shore. Mr. Roosevelt was accompanied ev- erywhere by the chief Does not Color the Fiair] Avyer’s Hair Vigor is composed of Sulohur, Glycerin, Quinta, Sodium Chlorid, Show this to your doctor.

Mr. Roose- velt expressed his appreciation of this communication. He sald there should be no question of gratitude. The earthquake gave the American people an opportunity to show their sympathy in this unparalleled disaster Wwhich had made Italy at once the creditor of the whole world. Mr. Roosevelt will leave the Ad- miral for a short visit to the ruins of Messina. He found on board the steamer Signor Trincheri, the prefect of Messina, who, by order of Premier Giolitti, came up.to Naples to accom- pany Mr. Roosevelt on his inspection of the city.

AGTUAL STARVATION Barker's Drug Store Gives Facts Regarding Dyspepsia. Although Indigestion and Dys- pepsia are so prevalent, most people do not thoroughly under- stand their cause and cure, There 1s no reason why people should not eat anything they desire—if they will only chew it carefully and thoroughly. Many actually starve themselves into sickness through fear of eating every good- looking, good-smelling and good- tasting food, because it does not agree with them. Dieting cannot cure Dyspepsia. If we refuse every article ot food that disagrees with us, before long we have nothing left, and find our- selves chronic dyspeptics, We can cure Dyspepsia.
