THE BEMIDSI DAILY PIONEER PUBLISHED EVERY AFTERNOON BY THE BEMIDJI PIONEER PUBLISHING CO. €. J. PRYOR. G. E. CARSON. Entered In the Postoffice at Bemld)l, Minnesota, as second class matter. SUBSCRIPTION---$5.00 PER YEAR IN ADVANGE ORIGINAL OUTPUT SHOULD BE CREDITED. Commenting on the Pioneer’s objection to purloining matter from the columns of the Pioneer and not giving credit, the editor of the News- Tribune “News and Comment” column says: “It really doesn’t matter so much who says or writes something worth while as what he says and who reads it. Ifit is worth while, it really ought to be given toas many as possible. There’s nothing original, anyway, according to Lowell, who is as good authority as anybody, except original sin, and we’re all sinners.” The “comment” is all right, as far as it goes, butit would sound better if coming from someone who depended a little more on “original thought” for fllling space than “sheer exhaustion” (using of scissors). Of course, the “News and Comment” chap never clips matter without giving credit; but it’s different, when you rustle from eight to ten columns of “‘grey matter” a day to find some indolent “‘pen push- er” hogging the entire output and appropriating it as his very own, necessitating no effort whatever on the -part of the “pirate.” We still maintain that original authors should be given due credit for their “ontput,” at all times. An exchange relates thata Metho- dist bishop was recently a guest at the home of a friend who had two charming daughters. One morning the bishop, accompanied by the two young ladies, went out in the hope of catching some trout. fisherman, out for the same purpose, wishing to appear friendly, called out: “Ketchin” many, pard?” The biskop, drawing himself to his full height, replied, “Brother, I am a fisher of men.” “You've got the right kind o’ bait, all right,” was the fisherman’s rejoinder. CAUSTIC COMMENT. (A. G. Rutledge.] As far as the bathing girls are con- cerned, even the toper will admit that the “drys” are more attractive than the “wets.” President Taft has been invited to a waterways convention. He is promised immunity from the old question, “What is whiskey?” A Paris surgeon has discovered a method of making heroes out of cowards by removing a small nerve. Now the suffregist need no longer have any fear of mice. The Prince of Abyssinia promises to “beat up a white elephant” for Colonel Roosevelt. Better put a pair of eight-ounce gloves on the Colonel and let him do it. The only true revision downward which appears in the chronicles of the extraordinary session is the way “Uncle Jo” handed it to the insur- gents in the committee assisgments. There are some reason, to fear, un- bappily, that the recent tariff de- batesin congress have been merely interrupted, and were continued on the chatauqua platforms all summer. New Jersey threatens to have a chauffeurs’ rogues’ gallery. This will enable Jerseymen who have been run over to drop into police headquarters on their way home from the hospital and see if they can identify the fellow who did it. Why not get one for Bemidji? ENDORSES AN INCOME TAX Doemooratic Conference at Saratoga Concludes Its Labore. Baratoga, N. Y. Sept. 1.—After adopting a declaration of principles, which included an endorsement of & foderal income tax, and effecting a continuation of efforts for the re habilitation of the party through the organization of the “Democratic league,” the Democratic conterence concluded a two days’ gession and ad- Journed sine die. The adoption of the income tax clause was accompHshed only after extended debate, both in the commit- tee on plan and scope which reported it and on the floor of the conference. There were other minor amendments to the report as submitted, including the insertion of a paragraph declar- ing for the enforcement of federal and state laws against criminal trusts and combinations in restraint of trade. The declaration of principles, among other things, declares for a tariff for revenue only; independence for the Philippines: clection of United States senators by direct vote of the people and taxation of corporations by the state alone. An old |’ C00K LEAVES COPENHAGEN Explorer WIill Reach New York on Sept. 20 or 21. Copenhagen, Sept. 1.—Dr. Fred- erick A. Cook has left Copenhagen by sea for Christiansand, where he will board the steamer Oscar IL for New York. A large crowd bade him fare- well. H The Oscar IL i$ due in New York Sept. 20 or 21. ‘When Dr. Cook boarded the steam- er the water front was lined with spectators and the ships in the har- bor were dressed with flags. A committee from the Geographical soclety and the faculty of the Univer- sity of Copenhagen saw the explorer off. A director of the company own- ing the ship on which Dr. Cook trav- els made an address in which he thanked the explorer for the honor of leaving on a Danish ship. He said that while envy and jealousy had been at work Denmark believed in Cook absolutely. Dr. Cook replied feelingly. BEGAN LIFE AS A PLOWBOY Judge Lovett May Become Head of Harriman System. New York, Sept. 1x.—Judge Robert Scott Lovett, who appears to be slated to succeed E. H. Harriman as head of the Harriman system of railroads, was a plowboy before he got into the rail- road business. Like Harriman he be- gan life at the bottom and worked his way up to the top by giving and tak- ing hard knocks with the world. About three years ago Harriman took Lovett to New York as vice pres JUDGE ROBERT 8. LOVETT. ident and general counsel of the Har- riman lines. He quickly became the “strong man” of the Harriman en- tourage and his chief placed more confidence in him than in any of his other subordinates. He unmderstands the Harriman methods of railroading perhaps better than any man connect- ed with his lines and is regarded in railroad circles generally as the log- feal successor to the rallroad Na- poleon. THREE LITTLE ONES BURNED TO DEATH Fire Destroys Home Following Gasoling. Explosion. St. Paul, Sept. 1 .—Fire destroyed the summer cottage of R. A. Walsh, a St. Paul lawyer, at Lakewood, White Bear lake, and three children of a family of thirteen, John, aged five years; Angelina, aged four years, and Robert, aged nine months, were burned to death. Willlam Walsh, nine years old, was terribly burned about the head, arms and chest in his heroie efforts to save his little brothers and sisters, six of whom were sleeping on the second floor of the cottage. Sarah, fifteen years old, also was badly burned about the arms and chest while mak- ing a similar effort. Mr. Walsh, the father, was severely burned, too. He was injured from the explosfon of a gasoline stove in the kitchen of his home, which he at- tempted to light. Supposing that none of the burners were lighted Mr, Walsh set about to fill the gasoline reservoir of the stove, but one of the burners had heen left burning and when he poured the gasoline into the tank the accumulated gas caught fire and a terrible explosion followed. The fire immediately spread through- out the frame structure and it was a roaring furnace in a few moments. Bix of the children, including those killed, were sleeping on the second floor and were practically imprisoned by the flames.

SIGNAL VICTORY SCORED Instead of Expected Slump Stocke Ad- vance Sharply, Unlon Pacific and Other Harriman Securities Leading the Upward Rush—Shorts Caught In the Pressure Cause Wild Fluctua: tions by Their Urgent Buying. New York, Sept. 1.—No crash in the market followed the death of E. H. Harriman., The big financiers took charge of the situation. Long confer- ences followed the financier's death and when the gong scunded for the opening of the market their brokers were on hand with the sinews of war. Vaults were opened and millions and millions of dollars thrown into the market to hold up the price of stecks. Instead of a break there was an ad- vance, especially in the Harriman in- terests, Union Pacific and Bouthern Paocific opening 2 points higher. Other stocks in which Mr. Harriman had large interests, notably Baltimore and Ohio, Atchison and New York Central, showed gains ranging from large frac tions to 1% points. United Statea Steel was strong on a moderate vol ume of trading. Very heavy buying orders flowed into the market when it was seen that prices were resisting the firm selling pressure. Early in the second hour Union Pacific shot up 8, the preferred stock 814, Southern Pacific 8%, Read- ing 8 and the list generally from 1 to over 2 points. The shorts in Union Pacific found themselves in ncute distress as the price continued to mount upwards and their urgent buying caused wild fluc- tuations of one-half to three-quarters between sales. Soon after noon Union Pacific sold at 208, the preferred at 112 and Read- ing above 161. The violence of the advances induced a feverish tome and there were some sudden relapses, Un- fon Pacific preferred falling back 214 and the common over a point. Union Pacific stretched its over- night gain to more than 12 points during the latter part of the day. Reading’s rise reached 5. The gen- eral price movement was upward again, but not in the proportion of these movements. The market main- tained its aggressive stremgth, how: ever, until the end of the day. Union Pacific touched 2073 before the closing. FRENCH VIEW OF SITUATION Death of One Man Cannot 8top Amenr ica's Onward March. Paris, Sept. 1 .—Although the Paris bourse for several days past has been hanging anxiously on news on the condition of the late E. H. Harriman the- announcement of the financier’s death did not create a shock. Prices opened steady, in some cases showing improvement. Among French financiers Mr. Harri- man’s immense power and capacity was widely recognized, but the general feeling is that the United States is so rich In resources and its productive capacity is so great that the death of one man, no matter how farreaching his interests, will not stop the onward march of the country's prosperity. Harriman Died of Cancer. Vienna, Sept. ?l.—Professor Adolf Struempell, the Viennese specialist whom the late E. H. Harriman came to Europe to consult, now admits that when he saw Mr. Harriman in July he dlagnosed his complaint as cancer. UNUSUAL BUILDING ACTIVITY Large Gain for August Compared With Last Year.
