Brower for the republican gub- ernatorial nomination, the St. Cloud Times says: “The Bemidji Pioneer says thata boom is being started for R. B. Brow- er of St. Cloud for the republican nomination for governor. But that ‘Brower himself is to be heard from whether he is or is not a candidate.” Mr. Brower has shied at the nomina- tion for congress and governor so many times that there are evidently things that look better to him.” Mr. Brower was asked, during the state convention of Elks, if he was a candidate for governor, and his ounly answer was one of those smiles which greatly resemble President Tatt’s famous “smile of affability,” and accompanied by no statement whatever. Brower may or may not be a cand- idate; he’s saying mighty little about the matter. Says the St. Cloud Journal-Press: “The Journal-Press acknowledges a fraternal call from Editor A. G. Rutledge of the Bemidji Pioneer. He is making his paper one of the best in Northern Minnesota, and is a gentleman of marked ability and an electric dynamo for hustle.” - CAUSTIC COMMENT. LA. G. Rutledge.] “GOOD-BYE.” Good-bye is a hard word to speak. Some may laugh that it should be, but let them; icy hearts are never kind. It is a word that has choked many an utterance, and started many a tear. The hand is clasped, the word is spoken, we part, and are out on the ocean of time—we go to meet again, where? God only knows. It may be soon, it may be never. Take care that your goodbye be not a cold one—it may be the last one you can give. Ere you meet again, death’s cold hand may have closed his eyes and claimed his lips forever. He may have died, thinking you cared not for him. Again, it may be a long seperation. Friends crowd on and give you their hands. How do you detect in each goodbye ‘the love that lingers there; and how may you bear with you the memory of these parting words many days? ‘We must separate. Tear not your- self away with a careless boldness that defies all love, but make your words linger—give your heart full utterance—and if tears fall, what of it? Tears are not unmanly.

Jockey's Tricks. “There are tricks of two kinds in Jockeying,” sald a jockey, “the legiti- mate and the illegitimate. TUse the first and you'll prosper, Use the last and it's all up. “Illegitimate tricks are pulling a race and getting left at the post. If you once pull a fast horse and make him lose, you are always afterward an ob- Ject of suspicion, and ten to ome if Fou ever pull another horse you are done for. But getting yourself left at the post is a blg and complex subject, and 1t Is the one trick that a clever Jockey can work time and again with safety. “To cause a rival horse to swerve is an illegitimate trick that often wins your race. You cause the swerving by straightening out your leg so that your heel nearly touches the other horse’s nose, or you make a wide slash with g}ur whip so that it mearly touches e other horse’s eyes. “The legitimate tricks are— But why glve them away when it has taken all my life to learn them?’—New Or- leans Times-Democrat. . In the Same Boat. The stranger advanced tcward the @oor. Mrs. O'Toole stood in the door- way with a rough stick In her left hand and a frown on her brow. “Good morning,” said the stranger politely. “I'm looking for Mr. 0'Toole.” “S8o'm L,” sald Mrs. O’Toole, shifting her club over to her other hand.—Ev- erybody’s. HUNDRED MILLION IN ANNUAL GRAFT General Binghilm’.s Figur}s for New York City. BLAMES TAMMANY HALL Brands the Judiciary as Crooked, Su- pine or Incompetent and Declares the Present System Could Be De- stroyed in a Few Years—Estimates That He Could Have Secured a Mil- lion a Year in Bribes While Police Commissioner. New York, Aug. 16—“A crooked, supine or inccmpetent judiciary” is what is the matter with New York, according to Theodore Bingham, for- wer police commissioner. In an article written for the forth- coming September number of Hamp- ton’s magazine General Bingham makes that assertion very frankly end glves instances to support his assertion. Another strong sentence declares that each year $100,000,000- in graft and blackmail changes hands in this city and that he could have made $1,000,000 in a year of his term. Tammany, he declares, is responsi- THEODORE A. BINGHAM. ble for this and Tammany could be destroyed in ten years, he adds. “I am asked to estimate the money value of graft and blackmail in New York each year,” he writes. “Of course, no one could make such an estimate with anything like com- plete accuracy, but my bellef is that the total is not less than $100,000,000 a year. “During my first year at the head of the police department it would have been an easy matter for me to have made $600,000 in bribe money and $1,000,000 would not have been an ex- cessive figure at all.” OFFERS $50,000 FOR FIGHT Australian Promoter After Jeffries- Johnson Contest.

The fight will be held in Lon- don, preferably, and, if not there, in Australia.” POLICE FAIL TO FIND CLUE Unable to Locate Kidnapped Children in Chicago. Chicago, Aug. 16.—Four detectives started out to make a house to house canvass of the “Little Italy” district of the North Side, in the firin convic- tion that the two little Viviano chil- dren, who were kidnapped from their home in St. Lonis last week, will be found here.

Eas- ley, chairman of the executive com- mittee of the National Civic Federa- tion, has sailed for Europe to look over the ground in England and on the Continent with a view to report- ing on the advisability of organizing an International Civic Federation.

KILLS FATHER T0 SAVE HER CHILB Infoxicated Texan Threatened fo Slay Infant. Dallas, Tex., Aug. 16—To save the life of her baby Mrs. Belle Pistole says she was compelled to shoot her father, Ransom Ross, to death in the family home twelve miles north of Dallas. Mrs, Pistole was brought be- fore Criminal Judge Seay, who liber- ated her on §1,500 bond. Ross was a prominent Dallas coun- ty farmer and was regarded as a model citizen, except at rare inter- vals when he would be under the in- fluence of intoxicants. He had bee to Dallas and went home inflamed with liquor. The crying of his little sick grandson in its mother’s lap In- furiated him. He said if the rhother did not make the child Jcease crying he would kill it. The mother pleaded that she had tried, but falled to quiet the baby. Ross rushed to the bureau and got a revolver. As he turned toward her and the child Mrs. Pistole fired twice with a 32-caliber revolver. The first bullet pierced her father’s left side and he staggered around, facing her as the seccnd shot was fired. This bullet pierced her father’s heart and he fell dead across a bed with his pistol clutched in his hand. PASSING OF NOTED PEOPLE DR.
