SUBSCRIPTION---S5.60 PER YEAR 1N ADVARSE WON’T LET THE SO0 PASS US, IF P0S- SIBLE TO PREVENT IT. Itis said that Bemidji can have the Soo line if the business men will pay $30,000 for a right-of-way( through the city. That ought to be! easy and it certainly would be worth | while for the hustling city of Bemidji| toundertake. Surely, the Soo will| not be permitted to pass up Be- midji.—Duluth News-Tribune. The Soo will not be permitted to “pass up Bemidji,” if the really pro- gressive business men and private citizens of this place can pre- ventit. However, there has been prevailing to some extent an opinion in some quarters that the great independent railroad was coming to Bemidji, anyway, and that the idea of buving right-of-way was wrong— simply throwing away a large sum of money to secure something that was already assured. Nothing could be further from the truth. The real facts are that the Soo railway will be built into Be- midji if this city furnishes the right- of-way that is desired by the com- pany (which will cost in the neigh- borhood of $30,000), and if that right-of-way is not furnished in the very immediate future, the company will not hesitate in carrying out its original plans and will build its line to the north of Lake Bemidji a sufficient distance to make any beneficial connection with the city a matter of doubt. It’s up to Bemidji to “dig up” the necessary mouey for purchasing the right-of-way. THE OLD:TIME NEWSPAPER COMPOSITOR. Let us see what the good, old-time compositor, who used to set type }Jy the piece, could do, and did do every day of his life—-that is, the fellow who used to set type when the writer was one of ’em and got thirty-eight cents a thousand for “knocking up” brevier and minion. He used to take manuscript, the chirography of which would make the lid of a Chinese tea-chest blush with envy, translate it into the ver- nacular as be went along, corrected the spelling and the grammar, and very often the rhetoric, and turned it out— not as the author wrote it, but as he intended to write it. He used to set up in type better English than most men can write. He could detect errors of fact as well as style. He could give the sporting editor points on horses and the religious editor points on theology. He could appreciate the merits of a discussion on the tariff, and detect the fallicies in a profound leader on economics; and he could do more bard and intelligent work, if he had to, than any other craftsman. But the old-time type is gone. In his stead is a man who works a machine like a typewriter, which really has not the human interest that was contained in the “click, click, click of the type in the stick.” And “copy” for this new king of the composing room must needs be written with a typewriter and studi- ously correct. Verily, the writer misses the typos of the old school, with their inde- pendent travelings about, with only a rule as a means of livlihood. They were philosophers—those old type- stickers—and were exceedicgly in- teresting characters. CAUSTIC COMMENT. LA. G. Rutledge.] Idle people play entirely too much with busy people. The more signs of luck a man knows the less he amounts to. No one is going to die and leave youa fortune; if you want wealth, you must earn it. ‘The best women in the world are extravagaut in at least two things— dress goods and preserves. How many neat little chances others fail to improve when they might say something good of you. It must be very discouraging to a man to be very gallant to his wife in public and have her look as if - she wasn’t used to it. Though the machinery in 2 man’s body isthe most delicate in the world, he neglects the care of it, and howls if it stops running right. Very few people reach old age without suffering with some com- plaint that is the result of having too good a time when they were young. CAPTURED BY TAMMANY MEN Independence League Primaries Held in New York City. New York, Sept. 2:4(—Charles B Murphy is the new boss of the Inde- pendence league. He blossomed forth as the successor of William R. Hearst when it became known that his friends had carried the Independence league primaries in every assembly district in Manhattan. But Mr. Mur- phy will not assume his new duties, according to the dazed and indignant leaguers, until the governor, the at- torney general, the district attorney and a few other officials have investi- gated the methods by which the league was added to Mr. Murphy’s collection of political parties. The Independence leaguers were the most astonished men in the greater city when. they woke up to find that in Manhattan and the Bronx delegates to all the league conventions had been nominated by Tammany men. Then they flew around in a terrific excite- ment. Governor Hughes and the at- torney general were appealed to by telegraph, scores of attorneys spent the day taking affidavits to show how their party had been stolen and con- ferences were held to devise some way of recovering the party. PRESIDENTIAL BOOM FOR GENERAL GRANT Prohibitionists Pleased by His Anti-Saloon Views, Chicago, Sept. 2:.—Major General Fred D. Grant, whose advocacy of to- tal abstinence has made for him warm friends among the foes of the saloon, is being brought to the front by pro- hibition leaders gathered for the for- tieth anniversary celebration of the party as a possible standard bearer for the dry forces in the presidential campaign of 1912. The boom had its origin in a letter received by Charles R. Jones, national chairman of the party, from Alfred GENERAL GRANT. Lowther of Detroit, the Michigan state chairman, which contained the follow- ing paragraph: “I hope to attend the forty-fifth an- niversary of the birth of the Prohibi- tion party at Washington in 1914, one of the features of which will be a monster jubilee parade reviewed by the first prohibition president of the United States, General Frederick D. Grant.” General Grant will be in Chicago Saturday and in full uniform will lead a temperance parade, in which up- ward of 100,000 are expected to march. JAP VISITORS AT MILWAUKEE Spend the Day Inspecting Various Commercial Plants. Milwaukee, Sept. 2.—The West Milwaukee shops of the Chicago, Mil- waukee and St. Paul Railway com- pany and the plant of the Allis- Chalmers company at West Allis were visited by the Japanese commercial commissioners, an hour being spent in each of these industrial plants. A ghort call was also made at the ha- tional Soldiers’ home. During the afterncon the party divided in groups to visit such industrial plants, educa- ticnal institutions, etc., as they de- sired. RELIGIOUS RIOT IN SPAIN Two Men Killed and Scores of Others Injured. Barcelona, Sept. 2 .—Religious riot- ing at Castro resulted in the killing of two men and the wounding of fifty- six others.

Vanceboro, Me., Sept. 2 .—Comman- | der Robert B. Peary récelved an en- thusiastic greeting when, for the first time since his return from the North pole, he touched upon American soil. Although Vanceboro has but a few houses and ‘stores in addition to the railway station and water tank people from all sections of the township were on hand to see the train arrive. As the train crossed the Canadian boundary line, which is only 500 feet distant from the Vanceboro station of the Maine Central railroad, its ad- vent was heralded by the explosion of a number of rallroad torpedoes, ‘Which had been placed upon the rails, At the sound of the detonations all of the usual activities ceased in Vance- boro and practically every one of the 550 inhabitants of the town rushed to the station. School was dismissed and the children, each carrylng an Amwerican flag and a bouquet of flow- ers, were marched down to the train. Given Enthusiastic Welcome. As Commander and Mrs. Peary ap- peared on the platform of their spe- clal car they were greeted with en- thusiastic cheers and were showered with flowers, while the children waved their banners and shouted themselves hoarse. Commander Peary again asserted that his work in the Arctic region was over and when asked what his imme- diate plans were said that beyond his return to his home in Bagle Island he did not know what he would do. “I shall not accept any invitations to any ovations or receptions,” said Commander Peary, “nntil a competent authority has settled the present con- troversy. The decision of this author- ity must be final, absolute and con- vineing. I cannot say what this court of final resort shall be, but that can “[:be determined later.” BIG BANQUET TO DR.
