THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER PUBLISHED EVERY AFTERHOON EXCEPT SUNDAY BY THE BEMIDJI PIONEER PUBLISHING GO, C. J. PRYOR. G. E. CARSON. A. C. RUTLEDGE, Editor. Entored in the Postoffice at Bomld)i, Minnssota, as second class matter, SUBSGRIPTION---$5.00 PER YEAR IN ADVANGE RECIPROCITY AND PATRONIZING HOME INDUSTRY. The Pioneer has always advocated th; patronizing of home merchants, and has always steadfastly ‘“boosted”’ the local business men as against the catalogue houses. The stand taken by the Pioneer in this matter has always been commended, but has not really been appreciated by Bemidji business men to the extent of a liberal patron- age of the Pioneer advertising col- umaus. That the Pioneer could easily secure large advertising contracts from the catalogue houses, for a splendid cash consideration, is a fact which we have often stated. How- ever, we have always refused this class of advertising, and have oc- casion, at the present time, to “turn down” the biggest catalogue house in America—Sears, Roebuck & Co. Roberts & MacAvinche of Chi- cago, which firm handles the adver- tising for the Sears, Roebuck Co., writes the Pioneer as follows: “Chicago October 9. “Publisher Pioneer, Bemidji, Minn. “Dear Sir:—Please quote lowest net price, per inch, per insertion for the advertising of Sears, Roebuck & Co., all matter to be printed from plates furnished by us; no composi- tion required, position requested on local page. “Also quote lowest net rate for an electro occupying an entire page. “For many years we have placed this advertising mainly in papers of large circulation to the entire satis- faction of publishers as well as our- selves and shall be pleased to divert a portion of it in your direction if the rate quoted is low enough to give a reasonable prospect of profit to the advertisers. All bills are paid within ten days of their receipt. “Trusting that this may be the beginning of mutually profitable relations and awaiting your reply, we are “Yours truly, —Roberts & MacAvinche.” There is nodoubt that the Pioneer could get a neat sum for publishing the ads referred to above. But we shall “turn them down,” believing thoroughly what we have so stead- fastly ‘‘preached”—that the cata- logue house should not be allowed to unfairly compete in a local field where the merchants of any city are striving with their neighbors to build up a successful. community. Now, Mr. Merchant, what are you doing in the matter of reciprocity with the paper that is so intensely loyal to your home town? Are you using “Mica Axle Grease” letter heads and envelopes for your station- ery; are you showing the printer prices of a St. Paul or St. Louis firm, who pay no taxesin Bemidji, but will do your printing for five cents a thousand cheaper, and en- deavoring to “jew down” the printer to the sweat-shop prices, which are really no better, when the quality of stock is considered and the express charges are added; or are you step- ping up to the editor or the business manager, and with a hearty, loyal slap on the back, are assuring him he is getting out a fine paper and that you will bring around an order for “some job printing?” Think it over, reader, if you have business interests in Bemidji, and ascertain from your conscience whether you really believe in recipro- city and patronizing home industry. Be just as loyal "and reciprocal as your home paper, and we will all prosper. Seventeen Victims of Collision. Topeka, Kan., Oct. 1 .—Seventeen persons were killed and ten severely injured, some probably fatally, in the collision between a freight train and a construction train on the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe railroad near here. This is a slight increase over the first reports. Night Riders Again Active. Brooksville, Ky., Oct. 1 .—Night rid- ers have again commenced active op- erations in this section and have burned the barn of Edward Johnson. Three thousand pounds of tobacco ‘was destroyed.

BITTER CONTEST FOR MAYORALTY Hearst’s Entrance Into Fight Enlivens Campaign. BACKED BY CIVIC ALLIANCE Candidates for Lesser Offices on the Ticket Will Undoubtedly Be the 8ame as Those Selected by the Re- publican Fusion Convention and an Energetic Effort Will Be Made to Defeat Tammany Hall Men. New York, Oct. L —William R. Hearst’s entry into the contest for mayor of Greater New York is at- tracting widespread attention and marks the opening of what is expect- ed to be a stirring, hard fought cam- paign. The maln issue, as defined by Mr. Hearst, is whether the control of the city government by Tammany Hall is to be maintained or over- tarown. -he Civic alliance, under whose auspices Mr. Hearst will run, has be- gun the circulation of petitions for the nomination of Mr. Hearst on an independent ticket. The acquisition of the required number of signatures will be an easy task. Anti-Tammany men say that even it Justice Willlam J. Gaynor, the Democratic nominee, is elected they will accomplish the real practical de- feat of Tammany if they put in office the nominees on either the Repub- Hcan or the Civic alllance lists below the head of the ticket. A Tammany mayor, they say, would be nearly powerless without control of the vari- ous boards operating the city govern: ment. At the same time they point to Judge Gaynor's recent refusal to accept responsibility for the minor candidates on the ticket with him as evidence that if elected without his associates on the ticket he will refuse to stand as a Tammany mayor. For these reasons unusual attention is being concentrated on the minor nomipees. There is little doubt that Mr. Hearst’s ticket will contain near- ly all, if not all, of the candidates for the city offices below that of mayor already nominated by the Republican fusion convention. TURNS DOWN LECTURE OFFER Bryan’s Daughter Going to Germany for Long Sojourn. Denver, Oct. 1.—Mrs. Ruth Bryan Leavitt, daughter of W. J. Bryan, laid aside a letter from a Chicago lecture bureau offering her a weekly salary that would make an average high priced prima donna turn pale with envy and prepared for a long sojourn in Germany, where she will educate her children. Mrs. Leavitt laughed good natured- ly in denying the stories about her being desirous of seizing a political plum as congresswoman from Colo- rado. Mrs. Leavitt will accompany her father and mother on their trip to Scuth America as far as Cuba and will then go to Germany with her children. NEGROES DEMAND TWO SEATS Want Representation at Taft Banquet at Pasadena. Pasadena, Cal, Oct. 1.—Whether there shall be representatives of the negro race at the Taft banquet here Tuesday is a question the president or some member of his party will be called upon to decide.

Chairman Toff referred the matter to the executive committee, which will first ascertain Mr. Taft’s wishes. FARMER 1S SHOT TO DEATH Mounted Men Fire Volley Through Window. Lake Charles, La., Oct. 1.—McLen: don Rhoderiguez, a prosperous Vernon; parish farmer, was shot to death by a gang of mounted men.

SAYS BRYAN HAS NO CHANC Taggart Picks Governor Marshall for Democratic Candidate.

MILLIONS OF LIVES LOST An Awtul Toll Collected by Consump- tion.—Many Unnecessary Deaths from this Disease. If people could only understand that systemic catarrh is ah internal disease that external apfilxcations cannot cure, they would not need to be warned so often about this malady, which, when neglected, paves the way oftentimes for con- sumption, at the cost of millions of lives every year, Yet catarrh may be cured, if the right treat- ment is employed. Catarrh is caused by a general diseased state of the system which leads commonly to annoying and perhaps serious local conditions, which may prove a fertile breeding ground for germs of consumption. External remedies give but tem- porary ease, The only way to successfully treat catarrh 1s by employing a medicine which is absorbed and carried by the blood to all parts of the system, so that the mucous membrane or internal lining of the body is toned up and made cap- able of resisting the infection of consumption and other diseases. We have a remedy prepared from the prescription of a physi- cian who for thirty years studied and made catarrh a specialty, and whose record was a patient re- stored to health in every case where his treatment was followed as prescribed. That remedy is Rexall Mucu-Tone. We are so positive that it will completely overcome catarrh in all its various forms, whether acute or chronic, that we promise to return every penny paid us for the medicine in every case where it fails or for any reason does not satisfy the-user, We want you to try Rexall Mucu-Tone on our recommenda- tion and guarantee. We are right here where you live, and you do not contract any obligation or risk when you try Rexall Mucu-Tone, on our guarantee. We have Rexall Mucu-Tone in two sizes, 50 cents and gr.oo. Very often the taking of a 5o-cent bottle is sufficient to make a marked im- pression on the case. Of course in chronic cases a longer treat- ment is necessary. The average in such instances is three gr.oo bottles. Remember you can ob- tain Rexall Remedies in Bemidji only at our store, Barker’s Drug Store, 217 Third St. EGZEMA GURABLE paoof Now 47 2501 GERMANS ARE APPREHENSIVE War Party in_Great Britain Gaining Strength.

Barker’s Drug Store, NEARLY HALF MILLION SEE AUTOMOBILE RAGE Robertson Govers 200 Miles In Three and One-half Hours. Commentators in the Kaiser’s Realm Point Out That Britons Aione Are Furnishing the Material for Irritat- ing Discussions—Speeches Made by Prominent Englishmen in the Unit- ed States Recently Widely Repro- duced in Germany. Berlin, Oct. 1 .—The speeches re- cently attributed to Lord Northeliffe, Admiral Lord Charles Beresford and FEarl Grey, governor general of Can- ada, together with various magazine articles dealing with the relations of Great Britain and Germany, have been widely reproduced and commented upon in this country. The prevailing note is one of ap- prehension that a regular campaign has been organized for the purpose of depriving Germany of the good will of the United States and nourishing the idea that Germany is threatening Great Britain. The German commentators point out that all the suggestions of com- ing trouble between Germany and Great Britain come from the British side. Apprehension is expressed .also over the growth of the war party in Great Britain. This party teday is small, but it is influential and, fed with doubts and misrepresentations and ex- travagant and fanciful accounts of Germany’s aims, it is gathering strength. . An official effort is being made to restrain German comment upon these speeches and articles with the idea of avoiding the production of material for irritating discussiens. B Philadelphia, Oct. 1.—In the pres- ence of a gathering of spectators esti- mated at nearly 500,000 souls George Robertson, driving a ninety-horsepow- er Simplex car over the unrivaled eight-mile course in Fairmont park, won the 200-mile race for the Quaker City Motor club cup, heating a score of the best cars in the world. Rob- ertson took the lead early in the race and held it to the end. His time for the 200 miles, up ard down hill and around dangerous curves, was 3 hours, 5% minutes and 583% seconds, which breaks the record he made last year in a locomobile. Motor followers say it was as good a race as was ever run in America. There were incidents full of thrill everywhere and all the time and the crowd, whether they paid $2 for a seat in thc grand stand cor stood pressed behind the ropes, got all they could ask. JUSTICE MOODY VERY ILL Condition of the Jurist Said to Be Desperate. ‘Washington; Oct. 1 .—The condition of Associate Justice William A H. Mocody of the supreme court of the United States, who is at his home DISCUSSED FCREIGN POLITICS French Army Officer Placed on the Retired List. Parfs, Oct. 1 .—General A. GC. d@’Amade, having acknowledged both orally and by telegraph the substan- tial authority of the interview pub- lished Oct. 7, in which he declared the tirne had arrived for France to call a halt on Spain’s penetration of Morocco, War Minister Brun has placed him on the retired. list. This action was taken after a meet- ing of the cabinet at which it was nnanimously decided to be improper for an oilicer of the army to express his opinions on foreign politics. It is understood that Foreign Minister Pichon told the cabinet he would re- sign unless General d@’Amade was punished. HUMANE SOCIETY INTERFERES Stops Fox Hunt Planned by Cincin- nati Belles. Cincinnati, Oct. 1 .—The fox hunt scheduled for the countryside in the vicinity of Cincinnati by local society belles will be prevented by the Ohio Humane society.

Justice Moody was seized with rheu- matism - just before the close of the term of court last May.
