Yes; nearly every ham- let, village, town and city at this commencement season of the in- stitutions of learning welcome home those who have spent years in hard study and with high honors have graduated; and many are the hopes and expectations centered in you— hopes that society will be elevated, many immorals corrected, wrongs righted and places of importance better filled, Do you ask where is your place? The world is before you, and though it may seem crowded, there are still many wants that it does not adver- tise, to avoid a rush of applicants, but these wants exist, and are, in- deed, very pressing and very real, and your compensation will be as ample as gou have brains, pluck and energy to earn it. The world wants graduates who are men enough to search out these places and make room for themselves; it wants young women of sufficient self-reliance to bear the disappoint- ment of not securing the first posi- tion for which they apply; most of all it wants character and wisely declines to accept a college or school diploma as conclusive evidence of that. Therefore, we silently whisper, enter into your life work with right motives, earnestness, zeal and honesty of purpose,and thoroughness that will satisfy yourself; and others will be satisfied. Realizs the respon- sibilities that have come to you, and assume them in great humbleness, and yet, in true manliness, and bear in mind, by your fruits ye shall be known. Bemidji entertains the Great Northern Editorial association in July and the boys are preparing for a time that will cause old Chief Bemidji to flop over in his grave and smile.—Walker Pilot. Come right along, Brother. Learn the gang a little “‘fiction”” before they start, concerhing their own personal ability to catch “whales” and “sich,” and we will do our best, up here, to make the affair a ‘“‘sultry one” (only literally speaking, how- ever, as there will be shady places and possibly some ‘“‘shady” cool drinks for the “gang.)” Says F. A. Dare, in his Walker Pilot: “Miss Mary McFadden of the Duluth News Tribune has narrowed her views down to thirteen ems— wholly out of proportion with her pen power.” Nope; you’re wrong, Farley. Mary is’nt at home, these days. And some bold ‘cuss on the News-Trib. force is slinging that matter at us fellows, serene in the belief that we will lay it all up to Mary. You could’nt “lace up” Mary to any thirteen-em affair. She doesn’t be- lieve in condensing along that line. IN THE LAST HALF CENTURY Peculiar Facts Concerning Growth of United States.

SAYS ALDRICH IS IMPERTINENT Senator Stone Resents Lan- guage of Colleague. COLLOQUY IN UPPER HOUSE Missouri Member Declares Utter- ances of Rhode Islander Regarding Germany Impolitic if Not Impolite and Aldrich Intimates That Stone Must Be a Representative of the German Government. Washington, June 4.—Senator Al drich’s recent characterization of the course of any government which might send to this country an anon- ymous statement concerning prices in the foreign country with a view to Influencing legislation was made the subject of an acrimonious colloquy in the senate between Mr. Aldrich and Senator Stone. The previous remark of Mr. Aldrich was based upon the fact that in response to a request from our own. state department the German authorities had forwarded to this government statements 6f man- ufacturers concerning the rate of wages in Germany, with a request that the names of the manufacturers be not used. Senator Stone brought up the ques- tion soon after the senate convened by reading a cablegram from Berlin in which it was stated that the Ger- man government had taken offense at Mr. Aldrich’s language because of the important position he occupies in his party and in congress. Reading from Mr. Aldrich’s original remarks Mr. Stone said: “When the senator from Rhode Isl- and made that somewhat petulant and extraordinary declaration every one here took notice and I think every one regarded his utterances as impolitic if not impolite.” Continuing to comment on the inci- dent Mr. Stone said that he was not surprised that the German govern- ment and the German people had taken notice of this utterance and felt offended by it. Mr. Aldrich, who had listened attentively to the words of the Missouri senator, arose and said: Meant German Manufacturers. “I made no charge against the Ger- man government. I was talking about German manufacturers, whose names were kept from us and who furnished information with the ex- .press understanding that it was not to be used in the enforcement of our custom laws. There is no question about the German government in- volved here at all. The German gov- ernment forwarded these statements with the distinet understanding that they were not to be used to raise the invoice value of goods imported into the Tinited States contrary to our laws. I repeat that any attempt on the part of any government to influ- ence legislation. on the tariff matter is impertinent. I did not say the Ger- man government made such an at- tempt, but if any government made such an attempt it would be imper- tinent.” Mr. Stone, insisting that the sen- ator from Rhode Island had referred to the German government as imper- tinent, again read the statement made by Mr. Aldllch as it appeared in the record.”' * Replying, Mr. Aldrich rehearsed the entire incident at some length and incidentally said that he had been at a loss to account for Mr. Stone’s in- ‘tentions in the matter unless he ap- peared as a representative of the Ger- man government. This intimation made Mr. Stone mad. His face flushed and there was far more than the usual animation in his reply. His manner was tense, his language terse. Worse Than Impertinence. “That statement,” he said, with de- liberation, “is an impertinence.” And apparently feeling that his characteri- zation had not been strong enough he added: “Yes, it is worse than an impertinence.” This remark had been interjected in Mr. Aldrich’s speech and appar- ently without losing his temper he proceeded with his recital of the de- tails of the whole transaction, con- cluding with a statement which had reference to the Missourl senator. “Now,” he said, “he may explain why he takes such a great interest in the matter if he can do so.” Promptly responding, Mr. Stone again manifested his resentment of the Rhode Island senator’s effort to connect him with the occurrence. “I | m,” he said, “an American and I rep- resent American interests on this floor as much as does the senator from Khode Island and I resent his effort to place a stigma upon me. I repeat that his expression is an im- pertinence, a gross impertinence.” Mr. La Follette introduced a reso- Ilution calling for all the correspond- ence relating to the subject, but its consideration was postponed. Pioneer Abolitionist Dead. Kalamazoo, Mich., June 4.—Henry F. Montague, one of the three dozen men who organized an abolition party In Michigan in 1836 at Ann Arbor, is dead at his home here at the age of ninety-six years. Mr. Montague was one of the leading agents of the “un- derground railway,” by which many fugitive slaves were assisted in thelir flight to Canada. ‘TRAPPED BY THE POLICE Man Who Attempts to Extort Money From Chicago Woman. Chicago, June 4.—Benjamin Miller, alleged to thave. attempted to extort $300 from Mrs. Benjamin Porter, whose hushand, a life insurance agent, disappeared mysteriously several weeks ago, was arrested here. Ac- cording to the police Miller wrote an unsigned letter to Mrs. Porter stating that for $300 to be secretly left tucked over a door knob at Tayler and Halstead mrgets Porter wquld_be Stomach Trouble.

A woman dressed to resemble Mrs. Porter visited the address given in the letter and did as requested with the money. Miller, it is charged, grabbed the money and started to run away. Detectives concealed in neigh- boring doorways broke from their hiding places and gave chase, firing several shots and overhauling the' fugitive after an exciting race.

Belknap, the American naval attache here, acting for the sub- scribers of American relief to the suf- ferers from the Messina earthquake, has turned over 400 more huts for the use of survivors of the disaster. Premier Giolitti took advantage of this occasion to write to Ambassador Griscom, saying that the American generosity had aroused a deep sense of gratitude in the population of Mes- sina. “I consider it my duty,” the pre- mier says, “to express at once the warmest thanks of the Italian gov- ernment and T beg you to convey these assurances to Lieutenant Commander Belknap, whose painstaking work in this field is deserving of the highest praise.” Ambassador Griscom, who is retir- ing from the diplomatic service, is winding up his affairs in Rome.

SOUTHERN PACIFIC LEADS Price Advances Nearly Six Points on Rumors of an Intended Increase in Dividends—Other Harriman Stocks and United States Steel Also Favor- Ites, With the Whole Market Strong and Active. New York, June 4—Furious buying of Southern Pacific railroad stock was the leading feature of a sudden re- vival of speculation in the stock mar- ket. Interest was congested in the Harriman Pacifics and United States Steel. A sudden upward rush of near- ly six points in Southern Pacific had an impressive effect on the whole iarket. It was unexplained by any news, but rumors of an intended in- crease in dividends and of a proposi- tion to retire the preferred stock fig- ured in the gossip. The buying was accredited to inside sources and showed no evidence of coming from & public demand. United States Steel stock continued its remarkable advance and touched new high levels, within a fraction of 69 points. Preparations for the intro- duction of this stock to the Paris bourse were held to account for its strength. The whole market was strong and active, but to nothing like the extent of these leading specula- tive favorites. The market absorbed some very heavy realizing sales during the final hour and these caused reactions of 1 to 1% points, the latter in Reading stock. With the selling adjusted prices came up buoyantly again, with buying on the largest scale of the day. Southern Pacific sold at 130 and the Copper industrials, Pennsylvania and other new favorites sprang into sud- den demand. The market ended the day in a state of boiling animation and with prices mounting. Grocers Advocate Amending State Pure Food Statutes. Detroit, Mich., June 4.—Uniformity in pure food regulations with the na- tional pure food law as the standard was the gist of a resolution presented by the legislative committee of the National Wholesale Grocers’ associa- tion in convention here, The resolution strongly advocates the amending of all state laws to con- form to the national act now in force, the elimination of statutory stand- ards in the different states and the substitution of a system of determin- Ing standards im conformity to the methods now in use by the govern- ment. It is claimed that the present difference in state regulation creates confusion in interstate commerce and makes it impossible to conduct such business with any degree of safety. Compromise Ends Strike. Pittsfield, Mass., June 4—The Pitts- field Street Railway company and the striking carmen came to an agree- ruent after an all night conference and the men went back to work. The company acceded to the demands of the strikers for 1 cent an hour wage increase and a straight ten-hour day. The strikers withdrew their minor demands. Kentucky Negro Lynched. Frankfort, Ky., June 4—John Max- ey, a negro, who shot B. S. Bowers, a oircus man, was taken from jail here and lynched. The jailer showed re- sistance to the mob, but with little effort the door was broken down, the negro taken out and hanged to the St. Clair street bridge. Bowers fis believed to be fatally injured.
