Who wants to move-to California when we have such delightful fall weather, here in this banana belt? People frequently inquire of the editor where we received our in- formation concerning such and such a party, also who wrote this or that article. To impart information along this line is against the rules of a newspaper office, and our friends and patrons will please bear this in mind and not annoy us with in- quires. We always stand ready to correct a wrong or mis-print. After reading this issue of the Pio- neer, send it to your friend in the distance; or better yet, call at’ the office and send it to your friend or relative for six months or a year, for you can expect just such a paper as this every week-day of the fifty- two weeks during the coming year. Throw in your mite towards plac- ing our city and county where they belong on the map. The Pioneer will do its part; you do yours. The man who went out to milk and sat down on a boulder in the middle of the pasture and waited for the cow to back up wasa brother of the man who kept a store and wouldn’t advertise because he reasoned that the purchasing public would back up to his place of busi- ness, when it wanted something. Try a little printer’s ink, judici- ously displayed, and you will find tbat it will pay great returns. CAUSTIC COMMENT. LA. G. Rutledge.] The boy who saves his money becomes the banker, the merchant, the professional man. The boy who never saves a cent makes the man who “earns his bread by the sweat of his brow,” who never owns a home or enjoys the luxuries of life. To refuse a paper at the postoffice | is simply a cowardly way of insult- ing the editor, and to thus refuse it when indebted to the paper is only doubling the insult. Be careful, brother, how you tramp on the toes of the “‘pencil pusher.” He might have occasion to chronicle your obituary, and be tempted to tell where you really are going when you “shuffle off.” Bemidji has a few (thank the good Lord, they are very few) men who stand around on the street corners and from morning to night criticise every person who is boosting for the city, and more especially do these two or three delight in finding fault with the Pioneer or itseditor. = Such _men are mighty common clay and it is fortunate that we have mighty few of them here. They seem to live, but no one can tell just how thev manage it. Like mosquitoes and flies, they are not fatal, but they are disagreeable to have about. It is not necessary to publish names of these twoor three who infest the community for you all know them. They can go to, as far as the writer hereof is concerned. They never speak a kind word of anyone. SERIOUS CLASH 1S FEARED Militia on Duty at Easin, Wyo., to Pre- vent Trouble.

GRASTY RETIRES Sells Interest in St. Paul Press and Dispatch. St. Paul, Nov. 1.—The following an- nouncement signad by Charles H. Grasty appears in the St. Paul Dis- pateh: ‘I, have sold to George Thompson the stock in the Dispaich Printing company purchased from him by my associates and myself last November and my active connection with the company has ceased. Mr. Thompson thus becomes the sole owner of the Dispatch and Pioneer Press. While I have been the active head of the Dispatch Printing company since No- vember of last year Mr. Thompson and I have been in the fullest accord and the only public significance of my Pioneer sale to him is that he will kenceforth personally assume {he management of the Dispatch and Picneer Press.” “The complaints, it is said, are to be backed by powerful political influences in New Yerk. Ostensibly they are to be based on the action of Mr. Loeb -in keeping in offtcz confessed grafters and the. reports of indignities oifered Americen citizens upon their retvrn from European tours.

TEXT OF THE AGREEMENT Document So Worded ‘as to Furnish Ground for Beiirf That It Violates the “Opsn Door” Policy—This Con- vention the Indirect Cause for the Dismissal of American Minister Des- ignate Crane. ‘Washington, Nov. «—The full text of the Manchyrian ‘agreement, by which Japan has bound the Chinese government in an inextricable tangle of concessions and which is the sub- jeet of close scrutiay on the part of the United. States and other powers, has heen made public. The agreement, which was the in- dirsct cause of Minister Charles R. Crane's dismissal, is found to be mors sweeping in its concessions to Japan than was at first thought. It provides that all land along the Mukden rail- road and along the main line of the Manchurian railway excepting that at Fushan and Yentai shall be exploited as joint enterprises of Japanese and Chinese subjects, upon the general principles which the viceroy of the three provinces and the governor of Mukden agreed upon with the Japa- nese consul geneval. Covers Mineral Deposits. ‘The full effect of this provision will develop later when Japan takes ad- vantage of its concession. It may be interpreted as covering all the mineral deposits in the region traversed by the railroad. § In other ways the documient is so worded as to furnish strong ground for the belief that it violates the “open door polizy.” Article I, for example, states that “the government of China, in the event of its undertaking to construct a railway between Hsinmintun and Fakumen, shall previously arrange with the Japanese government.” The document appears to give Ja pan a strangle hold on Manchurfa, | with sufficient freedom of action to edge out China’s influence altogether. It covers the raileoads and mines, gives the mikado. full advaniage in the event of militacy operations and makes. Manchuria practically as sub- ject to Japanese control as Japan her- self, JUDGE’S REMARKS THE CAUSE Convisted Man 3ecures New Trial on Aopeal.

The records showed that after the evidenca was submittcd Jadge Me- Pherson said to the jury: “No nan. with the sligatest degree of. Intelli* gence ahove insanity would say that thistpumyp 4s practical.” Any school- boy would know better. - *“This man either is guilty of a crim- inal act or he is’an idiot, insane and foolish, The defendent claims to be- leVe in‘his machine. If he does he is an idiot, crazy. If he does not he is guilty.” CRY OF ALARM AGAIN RAISED Excess of Deathe Over Births In- creases in France. « Paris, Nov. 1.—Vital statistics for the first six months of the present year show an excess of deaths over Dirths in France of 28,205. In 1903 the excess of deaths'was 10,508 and this growing discrepancy has raised again a cry of alarm for the future of the French race, which is the only people of Enrcpe experiencing depopulation. Dr jacques Bertillon, the statis- tician, said that the low birth rate in France was most noticeable among the better classes. lle proposes a heavy increase of taxation upon fam- ilies~in which there are two children or less. NAVAL REVOLT IN GREECE CRUSHED Arsenal Recaptured and Ring- leaders Surrender. Athens, Nov. 1.—The mutiny in the mnavy is at an end. The government has taken fornal possessicn of the arsenal. the leaders surrendering. The ringleaders have been ordered into solitary confinement and will be eourtmartialed. The sgovernment forces are in complete coptrol every- where and it is officially annoanced that the revolution has been crushed Government affairs are chaotic. It is generally believed that the Mili- tary league, which has heen prac- tically in full power for months, will now be forced to proclaim a military dictatorship to covnteract the loss of prestige which has resulted from its failure to maintain order. TFormer Premier Shallys, cominenting on the situation, said: “The condition c¢f Greece is ‘most precarious. The leaders of the Mili- tary leagne might have entered the cabinet some time ago ancé combined the power. which they have held any- way. with the responsibility of the position. They will undouliedly be forced to do this finally.” Snake Charmer Fails to Charm. New York, Nov. 2.—Albert Price of Hazleton, Pa, whose vocation is snake charming, failed to soothe. a five-foot rattlesnake put in a Four- teenth street mus2um and was bitten on the left hand.
