SUBSCRIPTION---S5.00 PER YEAR IN ADVANGE “THEY MISTAKE THE MAN.” Duluth News-Tribune: Those of the brethren of the press who have joyously hopped onto the frame of the editor of the Bemidji Pioneer because he criticised the State Editorial association, have mistaken their man when they say he has a “grouch.” “Doc” never had that ailment in his life. v He has given a thousand times more favors than he ever asked, and is asforgiving to his enemies as he isloyal to his friends. Nor is he the first to criticise the as- sociation. There, as everywhere, the majority rules but there, as in most organizations, there is a very con- siderable and a decidedly militant minority who are not all bothered with a grouch, nor are they all cranks. Moreover, it is noticeable that when newspaper men find nothing else pressing their ‘time and space, they are very apt to take “‘a bat” at each other. This does not imply per- sonal hostility, or, at least, we would very much dislike to think it did, as we have reaped an abundant harvest of the kind. It rather implies that close in- timacy, loving regard and broad- mindedness that carries with a criticism, the same fraternal, not to say paternal, spirit which accom- panies brotherly and fatherly correc- tion. Our mothers and fathers were no less loving because of the spank- ing of our youth. So it is that when we of the press meet at our annual gatherings, the brother who first grasps your hand, slaps you on the back and gives you a bear-like hug, with an invitation to *‘have suthin’,” is probably the same who the other day gave a vicious paragraph lunge at your sorest spot. He didn’t mean it that way, but he could not bear to spoil a good squib just because you were in the way or were the inspiration. Some- times we have known these to come in broadsides, and then they pass as free advertising, to be credited at so much a line and paid for in a for- giving, if not understanding, spirit. So in February “Doc” will be with the “bunch,” ready to give and take anything except apologies, and the association, whether officially a close corporation or not, whether run by “‘the gang” for political purposes or for the good of the order, whether composed of a group of Joe Cannons and aherd of helpless, because “‘out,” insurgents who want to get “in,” once more will prove itself the great binder of the greatest power for good which the state has, and the most remarkable collection of bohemian free-lances and fraternal Kilkennies the sun shines on. MORGAN RULES MONEY WORLD Latest Coup Said to Give Him Absolute Control. FIGURES ARE APPALLING List of Banking Institutions and In- dustrial Concerns Under His Sway Have Combined Resources of More Than Ten Billion Dollars—Wall 8treet Wondering Where Aged Fi- nancler Is Going to Get Off. New York, Jan. 5.—Business circles sre catching their breaths and recov- ering from the announcement that Morgan interests have captured Levi P. Morton’s trust company, in which Thomas Fortune Ryan, the dethroned street railway king of New York, was a powerful factor; the Fifth Avenue Trust company and the Guaranty Trust company and that they are to be relegated into oblivion, while in thelr stead is to be erected the new Guaranty Trust company, the second largest trust company in the world, with a total capitalization of $5,000,- 000, but with resources of $170,000,000. Levi P. Morton, once vice president of the United States, is to be the chairman of the board of the new J. P. MORGAN. trust company, but the company will be essentially a Morgan company, with all that that implies. A list of the banks, trust companies, insurance concerns and railroad and industrial corporations owned or con- trolled by Morgan shows a total of more than $10,000,000,000 in resources. ‘With these back of him Morgan, it is felt certain in financial circles, can do about as he pleases with the finances of the country, no matter what monetary legislation is enacted by congress, and there is a general feeling of wonderment in Wall street as to where the aged financier is go- ing to get off. It is known that his Tecent activity in assuming control of the big banks, trust companies and insurance companies is all part of one general plan that was decided on by Morgan and his advisers following the panic of 1907.

Baltimore, Jan. 5—The emperor of Japan’s remembrance of President Taft’s great enjoyment of the cherry blosson festival season when in Japan bas taken the graceful form of the presentation to Mrs. Taft of three car- loads of young cherry trees and they [The above was written by Charles Mitchell, the well-known managing editor of the Duluth News-Tribune, a gentleman for whom the editor of the Pioneer has always borne the highest regard. We take his com- ment as coming from one who kaows the impulsiveness of the writer here- of; and we are pleased that Mr. Mitchell, has seen fit to tell the brethren of us. We will try and be at the state meeting, and if it is to be “pistols and coffee,” we'll be there “Johnie on the spot.”] DELAYED UNTIL NEXT WEEK President’s Message on Interstate Commerce Law. ‘Washington, Jan. 5.—Another change in President Taft’s programme of special messages to congress was announced at the White House. It was stated that the message on changes in the interstate commerce law would probably not go to congress until next Monday or Tuesday. The anti-trust message is still scheduled for Thursday.

AGTUAL STARVATION The Barker Drug Store Gives Facts Regarding Dyspepsia. Although indigestion and dys- pepsia are so prevalent, most people do not thoroughly understand their cause and how to obtain relief. There is no reason why people should not eat anything they desire —if they will only chew it carefully and thoroughly. Many actually starve themselves into sickness throueh fear of eating every good- looking, good smelling and good- tasting food, because it does not agree with them. Dieting cannot cure dyspepsia. If we refuse every article of food that disagrees with us, before long we have nothing left, and find our- selves chronic dyspeptics. We are so confident that we can furnish relief for indigestion and dys- pepsia that we promise to supply the medicine free of all cost to every one who uses it according to directions who is not perfectly satis- fied with the results. We exact no promises and put no one under any obligation whatever. Surely hothing could be fairer. We are located right here where you live, and our reputation should be suffi- cient guarantee of the genuineness of our offer. We want everyone who is troubled with indigestion or dyspepsia in any form to come to our store and get a box of Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets. Take them home and give them a reasonable trial, according to direc- tions, They are very pleasant to take; they soothe the irritable stom- ach, strengthen and invigorate the digestive organs, promote a healthy and natural bowel action, almost immediately relieve nausea and stomach irritation, produce healthy digestion and assimilaticn and pro- mote nutrition. A 25-cent package of Rexall Dys- pepsia Tablets furnishes 15 days’ treatment. In ordinary treatment this is sufficient to produce complete relief. In more chronic cases, a longer treatment, of course, is nec- cessary, and depends upon the severity of the trouble. For such cases we have two larger sizes, 50 cents and $1.00.
