THE BEMIDJI BA{L& PIONEER PUBLISHED EVERY AFTERNOON BY THE BEMIDJI PIONEER PUBLISHING CO. C. J. PRYOR. G.E.CARSON, d.In the Postoffice at Bemid]l, Minn Entored I the Postofice ot Beridl SUBSGRIPTION-—-85.00 PER YEAR TN ADVANCE —_—- PRACTICE WHAT YOU PREACH. While we advise all "business to advertise, and while we b thatbusiness success can be obtgined in no other mannery’ we ‘propose to practice -what we preach, and there-, fore we advertise “The Pioneer as the best local paper published in north-central Minnesota. It is a Journal: which: may be taken with . the most implicit confidence. - Its pages will never be soiled by any-| - thing that is objectionable, ?l?d its advertising columns cannot be pur- chased for immoral announcements, at any price. The Pioncer is emphatically a local journal, designed to be a_home history of. the living present. No movement for the benefiL of society will be allowed to go unnoticed; but we will heartily second the efforts of any individual or any class where their objects are for the improve- ment of the community, financially and morally. Any newspaper is the companion and, friend of the family, but the local paper is one identified with the interest of the home. Itisconductcd by those whom you know. Its columns are filled with what is of special value to you. In its pros- perity you have a vital interest, and to its prosperity you can best con- tribute by giving your support and patronage. It is your neighbor. Its interests are your interests. It is your friend, it, in preference to all others. No outside or foreign paper can possibly have claims upon you until your duty is discharged to the local journal. Of him who says he can get a city paper much larger than his own local journal for the same amount of money, we would inquire: Do the city paperé say anything about your. country, its climate, water, healthfulness, soil, products, improvements, mills, churches schools, etc., etc? Nothing, - volun- tarily. Do they mention your public meet- ings, your city and county news, and the other thousand and one matters of interest which your home paper publishes without pay? Not much. Do they ever say a word, gratis, calculated to draw to your city or county and aid in bringing immi- grants and developing the wealth of your community? Not a line. And yet there are men who take such contracted views of the matter that unless they get as many square inches of reading matter in their own county paper as they do in the city paper, they think that they are not getting the worth of their money. Your local newspaper works for its own town; does all it can to build up the place, advance the in- terests of its citizens, draw trade to the town, put money into the pockets of the business men, and adds to the well-being of all. Such a paper is entitled to the liberal patronage from the town and community it works for. The columns of the Pioneer are of great value to advertisers, our subscription list enabling us to place the announcements for our CONTROL OF CORPORATIONS Discuséed by President and Attorney General. . T0 FORM BULK OF ESSKGE Changes..in Sherman Anti-Trust Law Will Be Recommended in 'Communli- cation to 'Congress in December. Mexican Ambassador Arranges With Mr.. Taft ‘Details : of . the: Megting With President Diaz on Oct. 16. Beverly, Mass., ‘Aug. 21.—After wrestling . with “Colonel Bogey” all morning on the golf links of the Myo: pia club President Taft tackled the more serious work of discussing with Attorney General Wickersham the problem of more centralized control of interstate corporations. The changes in the Sherman anti- trust law, in the jurisdiction of the interstate commerce commission and in the scope of authority vested in the bureau of corporations of the depart- TSR ALE G FANCET) AMBASSADOR DE LA BARRA. ment of commerce and labor will form the bulk of President Taft's message to congress next December. The president received Senor de la Barra, the Mexican ambassador. De- tafls of President Taft’s meeting with President Diaz of Mexico at El Paso, Tex., Oct. 1f next were discussed. It practically has been decided that Pres- fdent Diaz first will cal] upon Presi- dent Taft at El Paso and that Jater in the day President Taft will entep Mex- ican territory to return the visit af Ciudad Juarez, across the Rio Grande. The widening of the combined Influ- ence of the United Btates and Mexico over the little republics of Central America also entered into the discus- sion. DUE TO HARRIMAN RUMORS Another Spasm of Liquidation on the Stock Market. New York, Aug. 21.—Another spasm of liquidation came over the stock market in the first hour on enormous dealings, Prices of the more active issues, such as the Harriman stocks, Reading, Illinofs Central, United Stgtes Steel and American 8meiting, declined from 2 to 3 points or more. Hxcite- ment on the floor of the exchange was intense at times and the stocks were fhrown over at whatever price they would bring. Aside from further ru- mors regarding the health of Mr. E. H. Harriman no news was offered in explanation of the sensational de- cline, Low prices of the morning ef- fected losses ranging from 65 to 15 points below the high level of last Monday. TO REFUND NATIONAL DEBT Guatemala WIIl Float $12,000,000 Loan In United State: New York, Aug. 21.—Private cable advices received here from Guatemala announce that negotiations have been completed whereby a firm of New York bankers is to furnish a $12,000,- business men before a greater num- ber and a better class of readers than can any other medium, and at much less expense. A local journal cannot hope to compete with the improved presses and immense circulations of big dailies; but there is much satisfaction derived from local papers. . Our jobbing department is pro- vided with a line of up-to-date type suitable for all classes of commercial printing, and we always keep on hand the best brands of paper stock, etc. The Pioneer Printery is second to none in north-central Minnesota.

Denver, Aug. 21.—JoSeph €. Can- mon and the house of representatives were scored before the Transmissis- sippi Commercial congress when for- mer Judge J. B.

LIQUOR - CONSUMPTION LESS Statistics Furnished From Prohipition Headquarters, Chicago, Aug. 21—Drinkers in.the United States, from the chronie “souse” to those who occasionally and lightly dally with the foaming stein or the sparkling wine glass, have “gone shy” 7,500,000,000 drinks in the last two years, according to statistics ssued from prohibition national head- quarters.

WINS BY NARROW MARGIN Heney Secures Democratic Nomina- tion for District Attorney. San Francisco, Aug. 21.—Francis J. Heney was nominated for district at- torney on the Democratic ticket at the recent. primary by the parrow margin of 124 votes. The Democrats put no candidate in the field for this office, so that the voters had to write in the pames pof candidates. i Charles Fickert, the regular Repub- Hcan candidate, secured 2,260 Demo- cratic votes, against 2,384 for Heney. On the Republican ticket Fickert’s name was printed on the ballot, while Heney’s friends had to write in his name. On this ticket the vote was 11,658, Heney 4,364. The same two names figured also on the Union Tabor ticket, the vote be- ing Fickert 3,186, Heney 684, The Heney total vote is 7,396, Fick- ert 17,004. Heney thus becomes the regular Democratic candidate for dis- trict attorney, although he announced his allegiance to the Republican party gome time ago.
