Warroad Plaindealer: Senator Knute Nelson is known to be strongly for the Eberhart nomina- tion. The veteran fighter has his heart set on reclaiming the state this year for his party. No one has worked harder in the successive state campaigns, and no one took the three Johnson victories more to heart. He believes that the situation points to Governor Eberhart as the man who can unite the party and re: store it to firm control of state affairs. His voice is potent in the inner councils, and the present favorable outlook for Governor Eberhart is largely due to Senator Nelson. Itis up to the Hon. Frank Day, maker of trouble in the ranks of Minnesota republicans, to doff his generous slipper and ply the same liberally at the best poiat of vantage on the anatomy of several members of his famous ‘“kitchen cabinet,” including the Hon. Daniel Lawler and his highness, the cardinal, “Dick” O’Connmor. Rumor has it that the two latter very worthy des- ciples of democracy are at “logger- heads,” and are near-to the point of an open declaration of war. Brler Day willdo well to look after his own doorstep before he hatches any more discord among the g.o.p. of the state. DEVELOPMENT MEETING WILL BE HUGE SUCCESS. The Crookston Times and several other newspapers of note are taking up the matter of the development convention that will be held in Be- midji on February 17-18, and are advocating the intents and purposes of the convention and commending the action of the local committee in calling such a convention, The necessity of united ‘action in the matter of developing this section of the state and securing- for us equitable and just representation in the matter of members of the legislature strikes a responsive chord from all over northern Minnesota; these are matters which have been taken ‘up singly by the newspapers in the north country, but there has not been very much accomplished because of a lack of unity of purpose and organized effort. The real and only purpose of Bemidji people in calling a conven- tion to be held in this city is to unite the various elements that have been working for the betterment of- this part of the state, and formulate plans for concerted and intelligent action whereby we will be recognized ' and eiven whatis our just due as the portion of Minnesota that is grow- ing and improving and will continue to expand until we will have the larger portion of the population, wealth and industries of the state. “In unity there is strength,” and by united effort along theline of getting-together and presenting a strong front, northern Minnesota will come into her own, and will be recognized asa powerful common- wealth in itself, capable of great things. lBY THE WAY.I On a betin New York a man ate four pullets for dinner. Owing to the high price of eggs and the scarcity of chickens, the authorities should stop such foolish wagering. ‘There are some fixed principles of advertising, but no book of rules. Truthfulness and enthusiam' are worth more than all the rules that were ever formulated. A single advertisement may do no good, but it will lead the reader to the next one, and finally to become a customer. Advertising should not only be continuous, but of good quality. Advertising space costs money and the income to be obtained from it depends on what you put in it. After all that has been said on the subject of advertisement construc- tion, its the steam behind the words that does the business. IMPORT RECORD FOR 1909 Manufacturers’ Materials Form More Than Half of Total. ‘Washington, Jan. 25.—The import record of the United States in the cal- endar year 1909 shows some remark- able features. Manufacturers’ mate- rials formed actually moge than one- half of the total imports #fid increased in value nearly 50 per cent when com- pared with 1908. Wool imports more than doubled in value when compared with the immediately preceding year, having been $55,5600,000 in 1909, against $23,333,000 in 1908. Hides and skins nearly doubled in value, having been $104,000,000 in 1909, against $58,- 000,000 in 1908. India rubber imports also nearly doubled in value, having been $79,000,000 in 1909, against $45.- 000,000 in 1908. Raw silk increased from $64,000,000 in 1908 to $74,000,000 in 1909; lumber, from §14.500,000 to $18,333,000; tin, from $24,000,000 to, $27,500,000; copper, in pigs and bars, from $23,000,000 to $30,500,000, and cotton, from $13,500,000 to $15,009,000. These figures of increase relate to valucs ouly. In many cases the ad- vance in prices in foreign markets during the year has caused a larger percentage of increase in value than in quantity, but in practically every case the quantity imported in 1909 is materially in excess of that of 1908. DEATH LIST STILL UNKNOWN Admitted Thirty-one Perished In Cana- dian Pacific Wreck. Toronto, Ont., Jan. 25.—Thirty-one dead, two missing and forty-six in- jured is the total toll of the Spanish river wreck. Both coaches have been raised and the dead removed. Thera may be a few bodies in the river, but this the officials are not inclined to admit. UNTIL COURTS CAN PASS ON TAX LAW Gongress May Be Asked to Ex- fend Date of Operation ‘Washington, Jan. 25—~In case of failure of the attempt to obtain a de- cision from the supreme court of the United States before March 1 as to the constitutionality of the corporation tax provision of the Payne tariff act congress may be asked to extend the date of the law becomes operative. March 1 is the date by which the re- turn on the income of corporations must be filed. The suit in which the point arises, that of Stella P. Flint as general guardian of the property of Samuel M. Stone, Jr., a minor, against the Stone Tracy company of Windsor, Vt., was decided in the lower court last Thurs- day. Much time probably will be required by attorneys to prepare briefs and ar- ‘guments and if the supreme court takes the usual recess of three weeks in February a decision before March 1 is regarded as improbable. Solicitor General Bowers has asked the supreme court for permission to submit oral arguments and briefs in the Vermont case. At the same time Mr. Bowers asked that the case be ad- vanced for an early hearing. LIBERALS DOING BETTER Result of Latest Parliamentary Elec- tions in Great Britain. London, Jan. 25.—The Liberals ma- terially increased their score, accord- Ing to the returns from Saturday’s elections for members of parliament. They retain ' fifteen seats previously held out of a total of seventeen con- tests. Of the other .two seats ome went to a Unionist and the other to a Natlonalist. The completion of the count of Sat- urday’s vote. brings the totals of the various 'parties up to the following figures: = Conservatives, 219; Liberals, 201; Irish Natlonalists, 68; Laborites, 32. . FRENCH FLOOD CROWS WORSE Rains Continue and Rivers Are Still Rising. GREAT DAMAGE IN PARIS Loss Already Placed at Six Million Dollars and Every Inch Rise of the Seine Adds Immensely to the Sum. One Hundred Thousand Persons Homeless and Destitute in Eastern and Southern France. Paris, Jan. 25.—The weather Is warm and it is still raining, causing a continuation of the alarming rise of the Seine, which is already at an un- precedented height,” threatening the city with incalculable loss. The Seine will likely flood the road- way of the famous Place de le Con- corde within a few hours. The entire city is in danger of a water famine. Five arroundissements are already without water, due to the breaking of their water mains and the contamination of the supply by sew- age. The suburb of Ivry, with 20,000 inhabitants, is completely under water. The basement of the Louvre, the world’s greatest art palace, is flooded, putting the heating plant out of com- mission. Owing to the continued dampness pictures and plaster casts in the Louvre are being damaged and the loss promises to be irreparable. Unless some way is found imme- diately of ventilating that part of the subway that has not yet been flooded the entire underground system will be put out of commission. The vilest odors permeate the subway, making travel in it almost impossible. Refuse from broken sewers has been swept into the subway. * The government is taking active steps to prevent an epidemic of ty- phoid, of which there is great danger. While the situation in Paris is alarming it is no more serious than in the Eastern and Southern parts of France, where 100,000 are homeless and in destitute circumstances. Loss in Paris Fully $6,000,000. The loss in Paris alone is already placed at $6,000,000, with every inch rise of the Seine adding thousands to the loss. In the country districts the situation amounts to a national disaster. The river here presents an awe in- spiring spectacle. A quarter of 2 mil- lion people in a drenching rain throng the stone parapets and quays, watch- ing the yellow tide, which is crowded with driftwood, wine casks and other wreckage, “ushing seaward. The wa- ter is now almost flush with the arches of the bridges. Firemen, police and troops are work- ing like mad at all the bridges, disen- tangling blockades, resulting from the floating debris, and it is hoped that all the bridges will be saved. Traffic on several of the frailer ones, how- ever, has been stopped. The streets around the chamber of deputies are considered unsafe and all traffic in these thoroughfares has been forbidden. The tunnei between the Quai d'Or- say and the Quai d’Austerlitz stations is a rushing stream. The basement of the Palais de Jus- tice is full of water and the first floor of the Central police station is um- tenable. A fourth of France, it is estimated, is under water. Snow and rain are adding to the floods, which are un- precedented in the history of the pres- ent generation. The dyke at Saone au Doubs broke, inundating ten vil- lages. The streets of Chalons. are un- der water and two persons have been drowned. Hundreds of persons are on the roofs of their nearly submerged bomes, crying for help. Boats are being used by rescuing partles. BIG SUM FOR GOOD ROADS Governor of Washington Planning a Trunk Highway. Spokane, Wash,, Jan. 25.—Eleven hundred miles is the length of a state trunk highway planned for Washing- ton by Governor M. E. Hay, who is visiting in Spokane. The road is de- signed to serve 75 per cent of the pop ulation of the state, now near the 1, /260,000 mark, and will touch elever cities, taking in Bellingham, Everett, Seattle, Tacoma, Centralia, Chechalis, Vancouver, Walla Walla, Spokane, ‘Wanatchee and Ellensburg, continuing thence to Seattle. Governor Hay announced that a tax of 1 mill has been levied and it is esti- mated this will bring in at least $850, 000 a year for use in improving roads. He also said he is not in favor of large state appropriations for the improve- ment of roads where the money is ex- pended in small amounts in various places. Taggart Will Not Lose Eye. i Indianapolis, Jan. 25.—Thomas Tag- gart, Democratic national committee man, who was accidentally shot while hunting near Natchez, Miss., will not lose the sight of his right eye, accord ing to a statement of his physician, fol lowing an X-ray examination. Th¢ shot lodged within a thirty-secondtl part of an inch of the vital portion o the eye, but it is believed it can be re moved successfully. The leaden spher: passed through the outer coating ¢ the eye. PLANS TRIP TO PHILIPPINES Secretary Dickinson to Be Administra- tion’s Official Globe Trotter. New York, Jan. 25.—Secretary of ‘War Dickinson, who returned last week from an extended trip to Porto Rico and Cuba, has apparently been chosen by Presideut Taft to do the of- ficial globe trotting for the present administration. His next trip, it was announced following . the secretary’s arrival in New York to attend the an- nual dinner of the Tennessee society, will take him to the Philippines and Hawali, “If a man is to serve as secretary ot war properly it is essential that he be familiar with our insular possessions,” sald Mr. Dickinson. “The president has told me that it is his desire that I visit the Philippines and Hawail. No plans have been made for the trip and I cannot say how soon I will leave,” The secretary of war expects also to make frequent journeys to Panama be- fore the canal is completed. He ex- pressed confidence that the ditch would be finished as promised by January, 1915. - Mr. Dickingon said he had heard rumors in Washington that Colonel Roosevelt, upon his return from Africa, is to take active charge of the con- struction of the canal. MUST WALK STRAIGHT AND NARROW PATH Three First Class Men Dismissed From Naval Academy. ‘Washington, Jan. 25.—As a result of President Taft’s approval of the recom- mendation of Captain John M. Bowyer, superintendent of the naval academy, dismissing three more midshismen on the charge of intoxication, there is suppressed excitement among the mid- shipmen, who now realize they must walk the straight and narrow path or risk losing their commissions just as they are about to get them. The three dismissed are first class men, practically on the eve of gradua- tion. They are James Murray White- FOPYRIGNT BT ERRAIS N AT G CAPTAIN JOHN MARSHALL BOW- v head of New Jersey, Scott Lynn of Utah and Grover Cleveland Clevenger of Missouri. An extraordinary feature of the case is that these are the very men who recently joined with the other first class men and proposed to Captain Bowyer that they be permitted to work for the. elimination of intoxication among the midshipmen. The bargain ‘was proposed provided Captain Bow- yer would not dismiss a midshipman ‘who was charged with over indulgence in Thanksgiving punch last year. The three last dismissals have again riveted attention to what is termed €aptain Bowyer’s strict regime at the academy. It is certain that the cords of discipline have been tightened and as a resule those who are quivering under them complain “about undue severity.” But the navy department is squarely behind Captain Bowyer. City Aroused Over Brutal Murder. Ishpeming, Mich., Jan. 25.—Richard Varcoe, an old and highly respected ‘resident of this city, was foully mur- dered in the street by two intoxica-ed mwen. He was stabbed twice with a pocket knife. James Scopacasa and James Donato, Italians, were arrested charged with the crime and are said by the police to have confessed. The population of the city is aroused over the murder and the prisoners are be- ing closely guarded. ‘GRAIN AND PROVISION PRICES Minneapolis Wheat.

SHOULD - BE THOROUGH South Dakota Congressman Believes Investigation Should Be Non-Partisan " and That the Real Cause Should Be Located—Secretary Wilson Declares Multiplicity of Small Trusts in the Large Cities Is Responsible. ‘Washington, Jan. 25.—Representa: tive Eben Martin of South Dakota, au- thor of the resolution under which the commissioner of corporations made an inquiry into the activities of the beet trust in 1905,-1906 and 1907 and which was followed by criminal proceedings that resulted in the packers being re- strained by the federal courts from en- tering into a combination in restraint of trade, is preparing a resolution pro- viding for the creation of a joint com- mission to inquire into the cost of liv- ing. Various resolutions: have. been -of- fered in house and senate proposing the appointment of committees to in- vestigate this subject, but Mr. Martin belleves that the exorbitant prices ex- acted for food products.should be in- quired into by a commission clothed with broad powers and having a status in law such as was given the industrial commission some years ago and such as has been given the Ballinger-Pin- chot commission that is about to be- gin an investigation into matters ot conservation. “If the high cost of living is probed by a commission of congress we will get at the ‘exact facts,” said Mr. Mar- tin. Probe Should Be Thorough. “The investigation should be very thorough and not conducted with a view to manufacturing 'political capi- tal. We should aim to ascertain the real causes for the high prices of food products in order that we may inform ourselves as to whether they are con- trolled by the law of supply and de- mand, as is alleged.” Secretary Wilson of the department of agriculture told a special congres- sional committee investigating into the cause of the high prices of food in Washington that in his judgment the increased cost of living was due in a large measure to the multiplicity of small trusts and combinations in the ‘arge cities. These trusts and combi- “~*ops, he said, control through greements the retail prices; decide what shall be paid to farmers and the prices to be assessed on the consum- ers. He -said that the farmers were not getting the benefit of the high prices. That the officials of the department of justice are after some officials high up in the packing industry is being made plain here in every move in con- nection with the federal inquiry into the alleged beef trust which is to be taken by a federal grand jury in Chi- cago this week. SAYS PRICES WILL NOT DROP Armour Declares the Packers Are Not to Blame. Chicago, Jan. 25.—“You can elimi- nate the meat packers entirely from the situation and the high prices will remain. The high prices are caused by the law of nature and nature's law cannot be changed. The best we can |jegg do is comply with them. Increase the production and prices will fall.” This is the defense made by J.. Og- den Armour, head of Armour & Co., against the charges made by “meat strikers” that the packers are respon- sible for present high meat prices. “The present market for live stock 18 not the sort the. packers would choose,” he added. -*“We would prefer to buy cheaper and sell cheaper. The volume of our business would then be greater. Moreover, with lower prices the expense would be less than now. “But no packing concern is respon- sible for the increased cost of live stock, in accordance of which the price to the retailer is higher or lower. “Zt is not the products of the pack- ing houses alone which have increased in price. All farm products have gone up. “Butter and eggs are higher; chick- ens and turkeys never were 5o high.” Armour said he welcomed the eat- no-meat-for-a-month movement. CALLS MEAT STRIKE FOOLISH Socialist Leader Says Laboring Men Will Only Injure Themselves. Milwaukee, Jan. 25.—Victor L. Ber- ger, Social-Demccrat leader, does not believe in the meat boycott. He re gards it as puerile and silly. Labor ing men need the sustenance >f meat, he said, and in depriving themselves of it they not only fail to injure the meat trust but hurt themselves. Mr. Berger said it was not the meat trust alone that was responsible for the high prices, but all the trusts and economic conditions that'make them. The workingmen should strike for higher wages instead of striking against their stomachs, he said. 7t the boycott against meat were to be consistently carried out it would have to include all food, all clothes, fucl and even shelter, he said, for the piice of all products is high. KANSAS IS AGAINST CANNON Governor Stubbs Discusses Political Situation in His State. New York, Jan. 25. — Governor Stubbs of Kansas was in New York on his way from the conference of governors at Washington. 5 .“Every one in Kansas is prosper- ous,” he said to the squad of inter- viewers who greeted him on his ar- rival. “Most of the’farmers have their own automobiles and the jails and poorhouses are practically empty.” Governor Stubbs had one grievancs, The rallivads, ne said, are Charghg from 50 to 200 per cent higher freight rates in his state than anywhere else and the governor blames the inter- state commerce law. Turning to the political situation the governor said: “Our people are for the insurgents almost unanimously, ‘agin’ Cannon, ‘agin’ Aldrich and against the com- bines and trusts and other things that are not wholesome. There is no such thing as graft in Kansas and if we have our way there won’t be much of it elsewhere in the United States.” TRAINMEN MAKE DEMANDS Southern Association Systems Hear From Employes. Cleveland, Jan. 25.—Officials of the twenty-five railway systems of the Southern association have received propositions from the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen and the Order of Railway Conductors for a wage in- crease and better working conditions similar to those submitted to the roads in the Eastern association a month ago. Answers are due Feb. 24. Ar- rangements are being considered for taking up the recent proposition with one representative road in the East. GERMANS HOPE TO AVOID TARIFF WAR Important - Conference of - Offi- cials at Berlin, Berlin, Jan. 25.—In the hope of avoiding a tariff war between Ger- many and the United States when the Dresent trade agreement between the countries expires Feb. 7 an important conference took place in the office of the minister of the interior with gov- ernment officials. Great secrecy surrounded the con- ference and no statement would be given out regarding the conclusions reached. Merchants and manufacturers are imploring the government to go as far as conmsistent with the national policy to gain admission to President Taft’s list of favored nations, thereby winning the minimum tariff rates. ALTERNATE FROM WYOMING Colored Cadet at West Point Now s Possibility. West Point, N.

Smith of Cheyenne, Wyo., has been named as the alternate for the mext ‘Wyoming vacancy, which will oceur in & few months. Senator Clark of ‘Wyoming made the appointment.
