Don’t forget that your neighbor, though he differs from you politically, may be just as honest in his con- victions as you are; that thisisa free country where freedom of opinion is one of the biggest of the broad foundation-stones of our gov- ernment, and there would be an end of that form of government without it. Be tolerant, therefore, or rather not tolerant but rational, patriotic and good-natured. Stand by your convictions and let your neighbor stand by his if he is so disposed. Keep cool. Argue politics if you will, but do it calmly and reasonably, and bear this fact always in mind, that just as you have about made up your mind unalcerably as to the way in which you will vote, ninety- nine hundredths of the voting pop- ulation have done the same thing. BEMIDJI AND THE S00. Who said Bemidji Soo?—Cass Lake Voice. Why, bless your soul, Brler Sutor, the Pioneer and some 6,500 other people in Bemidji, through whose veins courses the bright red blood of health and prosperity, have said they wanted the Soo; and what is more, we are going to have it, if right-of-way does come pretiy high, even for the “Hub City of Northern Minnesota.” When the business men of Be- midji decide that an enterprise like the Soo is desired and would be beneficial, they go after it and usually land it; and even a hostile, high-priced legislature has no terrors for Bemidji. No offense meant, wanted the however, brler. “SLUMS” DOWN ON LOCAL PAPER. The “slums” of a town or city are always down on the local paper. They scan every item to see if any of their evil doingsare given pub- licity. The only work some of them ever do is bustlinz around after the paper is published to borrow a cory! to see if anything is said about them. They are always aware that the news- paper man of the present day is “‘onto” all their doings, and they only feel relief if they read the paper and see nothing derogatory to them. CAUSTIC COMMENT. LA. G. Rutledge.] Drink and the world drinks with you. Swear alone. off, and you swear The country is just now scoured by enthusiastic hunters, with $10 dogs and $50 guns, who shoot away $5 worth of ammunition, wear out $20 worth of clothes and get—nit. ‘There is no class, community, or condition of society that 1s improved by waiting for outside assistance, for regardless of all talk about help- ing each other, the successful man or woman gets there only by helping themselves. When the tongue of trade is coated, when the eyes and limbs of the clerk are dull and languid, when the raging fever tackles the empty vitals of the “till,” when the spider roots in the empty cash box, and boquets of decay are on the chandeliers, it is conclusive - evidence that the advertising doctor has not yet been consulted. Alady in a nearby town (near enough so that we shall not give it dway) in her hurry to start for church recently, took from the closet what she supposed was her fall cloak, threw itover her arm and on arriving at the church threw it over the back of the pew, when she discovered that the supposed cloak was a pair of her husband’s trousers. IN SHADOW OF TREASURY Counterfeiters Flooding Washington With Spurious Coin. Washington, Oct. 1 .—Counterfeit- ers, working almust jn the shadow of the t sury, havz invaded certain districts of Washington with spurious coin. The counterfeits are of the 25 and 1¢-cent ccinage patterned after the issue of 1908, but acrording to the secret service operatives they are poor imitations. Chief Operator George F. Proctor has taken personal charge of the investigation and a num- ber of operatives are seeking the source of the coinage. GENERAL STRIKE STILL IN EFFECT Workmen- of Rome Aroused by Ferrer’s Execution. BITTER SPEECHES MADE Great Mass Mesting Attsnded by Twenty Thousand Persons Hears In- flammatory Denunciation of Spain and the Vatican—Extraordinary Po- lice and - Military Measures Taken to Protect the Pope From Assauit. Rome, Oct. {—The general strike continues unabated by the direction of Ferrer sympathizers. Even the radical Republican and Soclalist news- papers were unable to get out their editions. Nearly 2¢.000 workmen held an imposing meeting, which was pre- sided over by the Republican deputy, Mazza. Inflammatory speeches de- nouncing the execution of Ferrer were made, the speakers including the Re- publican deputy, Barzilai, and the So- olalist deputy, Morgari. The latter assalled Spanish reactionism and also attacked the Vatican, which, he said, “through its clergy throughout™ the world represents anti-liberalism and anti-progress.” Several Itallans who have acted as Bpanish consuls have resigned in sym- pathy with the Ferrer movement. Notwithstanding the extraordinary police and military measures to safe- guard the Vatican and save the pope from assault Cardinal Merry del Val personally imparted Iimperative in- structions to the gendarmes and the Swiss guard to watch all entrances to the Vatican and also the boundaries of the Vatican gardens.

The Heraldo, declaring that the present government has caused the world to point the finger of shame at 8pain, exhorts Liberals of all shades of opinion to rise “against a govern- ment which treats as anarchists those who do not knesl before the clerical specter.” The Official Gazette publishes a de- oree restoring the old system which permits a payment of money indem- nity in lieu of military service. The Universo Catholic says that it | is not surprised at the Ferrer mani- festations, which it considers an in- dication that “the anarchistic and Ma- sonic forces are inspiring a rebellion against all idea of government and justice.” The paper denounces certaln Span- ish newspapers which it says are try- ing to provoke disorders by printing accounts of what has happened abroad. RIOTERS FIGHT THE TROOPS Fourteen Soldiers Wounded at Flor ence, ltaly. Florence, Italy, Oct. 1.—During a Ferrer demonstraticn a mob gathered about the palace of the archbishop crying insults.

Ihe. ground for the decision was that land once set aside by the gov- ernment as an Indian reservation al- ways remains as such in spite of its ‘upbuilding and divisfon Into counties and towns unless congress makes it thus. For that reason Judge Morris holds that the ten federal deputies were doing their duty .in enforcing a law ‘which prohibits the sale of liquor on Indian lands. The decision of Judge Morris may affect saloons in Duluth and other places within the territory covered by the treaty of 1855. OPENED BY PRINCE OF WALES Naval Harbor at Dover, Eng., Cost $20,000,000.
