Residents of Wyoming, where women have voted since the earliest territorial days, and .where the capability of women to exercise the ballot intelligently is a matter so generally accepted that it rarely causes comment, are not in a posi- tion to appreciate the intense inter- est in the pros and cons of woman suffrage which exists in states where the right to vote is associated with masculinity only. THE BEST ARE NONE T0O GOOD. The Herald has laid emphasis for years on the need that Northern Minnesota send its strongest men to the legislature, and its insistence upon that point two years ago awoke St. Louis county to the point. where it dragged out the best men it could lay its hands upon and sent them to the legislature, much against their will, Never has the need of strong men been greater than it will be this year. Northern Minnesota proposes to march upon the next state legis- lature unitedly, and to demand of it the justice that has long been with- held. The north is united, -organi- zed, determined. The demand for reapportionment and for a business- like policy of handling state lands is backed, this time, not by the passive good will of all parts of . Northern Minnesota, but by the united and organized and strongly determined will of the people of a great empire. So far as public sentiment is concerned, therefore, Northern Minnesota never has been better equipped. But this public sentiment, united and organized and determined though it is, will lack opportunity for expression unless it is represented in the legislature by the very best and stongest men that can be found in Northern Minnesota. The kind of men that are needed probably will not care to bother with going to the legislature. They will view with alarm the prospects of going through a campaign and then undergoing three months of work for the public at the capital. But that mustn’t be allowed to count, They must be impressed with the idea that it is their duty to (hEIPSelves and their section, for this one time at least, to sacrifice inclination to public service. The weakness of the present primary election law'is that it places the initiative upon the candidate, and the men that are needed in the legislature from Northern Minnesota will not like that part of it. .. Public sentiment should center, in each col munity, on the strongest men in}| sight, and find a way to express to them the demand that they become candidates. This may be by petition, by public meetings or by newspaper publicity. 3 But Northern Minnesota’s cause is too vital, too weighty, to be trusted, this time, to men of mediocre capacity. It calls for the best and most earnest efforts of the men available, The work will require not only force, but tact; and men of force and tact must be chosen to do it. It cannot be accomplished by bulldozing, yet it will fail if the attack lacks energy. From St. Louis to Roseau, from Mille Lacs to Wilkin, the counties of Northern Minnesota should = seek out and force into the lists their strongest, ablest, firmist and most capable men. The best will be none too good. It will be an uphill fight against heavy handicaps, and only by a decided superiority in individual capacity can the numerical inferior- ity of the representation of Northern Minnesota in the next legislature be overcome.—Duluth Herald. | BY THE WAY I The common idea is that it is not worth while doing anything - that does not produce immediate results. If you fix your gaze on a star you may step on a banana peel. The kind of a nervous shock a woman gets when preparing to ask her husband for money is about equal to the way a man feels when hit with a rock. The only real difference there is between people is the amount they do for the community. No man who did not appreciate his value to the world ever committed suicide, How easy it is to learn that some- body else drinks too much. Farmers.

DANGER SIGNAL NO. 1 comes from the kidney secretions. They will warn you when the kidneys are sick. Well kidneys excrete a clear, amber fluid. Sick kidneys send out a thin, pale and foamy, or a thick, red, ill-smelling urine, full of sediment and irregular of passage. DANGER SIGNAL NO. 2 comes from the back. Back pains, dull and heavy or sharp and acute, tell you of sick kidneys and warn you of the approach of dropsy, diabetes and Bright’s disease. Doan’s Kidney Pills cure sick kidneys and cure them permanently, Here’s Bemidji proof: Mrs. L. Kane, 615 Fourth street, Bemidji, Minn., says, ‘I was a sufferer from kidney complaint for a number of years. Doan’s Kidney Pills have given me great relief and I am willing to recommend them, as I am confident that anyone who uses the remedy will receive great benefit. My trouble seemed to be of a dropsical nature and I suffered much from rheumatic pains through- out my body. My system seemed to be filled with uric acid and I felt miserable. I at last procured Doan’s Kidney Pills at the Owl Drug Store and through their use received relief.” For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents.

NO HOPE FOR THE MISSING Of the Sixty-seven Still Unacoounted for it s Not. Believed Any Will Be Found Alive—Exact Number of Vic- tims Will Not Be Known Until. the Forty Feet of Snow in the Canyon Has Moelited. Everett, Wash., March 4.—It is now almost certain that the death toll in the avalanche that carrled away two Great Northern trains will total eighty-four. Few believe that any of the sixty- seven listed as missing will be found alive for it is now more than seventy- two hours since they were buried be- neath the tons of snow and ice and twisted wreckage that swept over the ledge of the high line and dropped in a twisted heap to the bottom of the canyon 200 feet below. The exact number of dead will not be known for weeks, not until the snow which is over forty feet deep in the canyon, has melted. Workmen digging in the snow and wreckage re- port the finding of dismembered bodles, several arms and hands. Fre- quently the first intimation that they are digging near a body comes when they uncover a large patch of blood red snow. All the injured are being cared for at Wellington and at Scenic. It is thought all will recover. No Warning of Disaster. Men who come from the wreck say that the first intimation the passen- gers had of their danger was when the snow swept down upon them and lifted the cars bodily into the air and then dropped them over the precipice. One survivor described the sensation as similar to that felt when on 2 storm tossed ship at sea. A storm was raging and the light- ning flaring incessantly at .the time of the catastrophe. The men who suc- ceeded in extricating themselves from the wreck carried on reliet work by the electrical -flashes. Men who made the trip to Scenic and who talked with the survivors awaiting the relief trains there bring back remarkable tales of the heroism displayed by the survivors who were %o fortunate as to escape from the avalanche without serious injury. H. Purcell and Ira Clary, two conductors who extricated themselves uninjured from the mass of snow ard wreckage, worked several hours.endeavoring to release the less fortunate victims. ‘When the two men crawled out of the snow they were barefooted, but by some chance they found Purcell's boots and socks. Clary put on the socks and Purcell wore the boots, and together they dug in the snow search- ing for the injured. TRAFFIC AT A STANDSTILL Snake River In Idaho and Its Tribu- taries on a Rampage. Boise, Ida, March 4.—All tribu- taries of the Snake are torrents and the river itself is higher than ever be- fore. Fear is expressed for the safe- ty of the large irrigation dams at Min- idoka and Milner. Rallroad traffic is at a standstill and the passengers of six transconti- nental trains are marooned at various points along the Oregon Short Line. Large sections of track have been washed out and it may be several days before trains can be moved. The situation at Caldwell and Nam- pa is much improved. The greatest damage in Southern Idaho has been to irrigation works, especially those under course of construction. SOUTHERN PACIFIC TIED UP Hundreds of Passengers Marooned at Ogden, Utah. Ogden, Utah, March 4—With hun- dreds of passengers marooned here, including many colonists from Eastern points, the Southern Pacific raflroad is tied up worse than at any other time in its history. Not a train has left for the West for twenty-four hours and floods in the Humboldt valley are 80 overwhelming that it may require ten days before traffic can be restored. Traffic in Montana Impeded. Butte Mont., March 4—The tracks of the Northern Pacific in Deer Lodge valley, west of Butte, are under wa- ter and all trains are being detoured via Helena. The line of the Chicago, Milwaukee and Puget Sound, west of Butte, is also under water and it is uncertain when traffic - will be re- sumed. Twenty-nine New Banks. ‘Washington, March 4—During Feb- ruary twenty-nine banks, with a total capital of $7,195,000, were authorized to begin business by the comptroller’s office in the treasury department. There are now 7,709 national banks, with an authorized capital of $984,001, 935 and circulation outstanding amounting to $710,022,868. EFFECT WILL BE WORLDWIDE Passage of British Budget Causing Much Concern. London, March 4.—A worldwide disorganization of the money market 18 Dbelieved inevitable by the finan- ciers of London, the world’s financial center, as the result of the evident impossibility of passing the 'budget for the current fisoal year before the end of the year. The disorganization, it is predicted. will come when the income tax and qther taxes are finally realized. This Wil compel THousahdl oY Persons have held back their taxes:in:hope:of rescaping final payment.iand have in-| vested their tax money te remove this money- from. investment. The amount involved will run into the millions.and its sudden withdraw- al will have & depressing effect throughout:the world. The: debate im:the house of com- mons shows conclusively that it will be impossible to pass a budget before the end of the fiscal year. It s estimated that the-arrears in taxes, due to the failure to pass the budget, ‘will- exceed - $100,000,000 by March. 31,-a large part of. which will be permanently lost. Graft Witness Ends:Life. Tifin, 0., March 4—Walter Dagen. who was. expected to be the chief wit- nesg for the state in the prosecution of former: county -commissioners in- dicted here recently for glleged graft- ing, has committed-suicide.

CONGRESSIONAL PROBE IS ASKED Sensational Charges Against Merchant Marine League. STEENERSON CAUSES STIR Minnesota Member Accuses Organiza- tion’s Officers, Including Former Governor Herrick of Ohio, With Con- spiracy and Intimidation in Connec- tion With the Effort to Secure Ship Subsidy Legislation. ‘Washington, March 4.—Sensational charges alleging that officers of the Merchant Marine league of Cleveland, 0., ‘along with them former Governor Herrick, have conspired and federated with a view to securing the enactment of ship subsidy legislation by corrupt means are contained in a resolution presented to the house by Represen- tative Halvor Steenerson of Minne- sota. The Steenerson resolution, which was submitted in the open house, provides for the appointment of a special committee of seven mem- bers to inquire into the charges. It was referred to the house committee on the judiciary. The Steenerson resolution, breath- ing of corruption, blackmail, conspir- acy and intimidation of members of congress opposed to subsidy legisla- tlon, created a sensation in the house. It was brought up as a result of the action of the Minnesota member in asking that he be permitted to ad- dress himself to a question of priv- ilege. Mr. Steenerson said that in a recent publication of the American Flag, a Cleveland magazine, state- ments were made that reflected on him in his representative capacity. Steenerson Charges Conspiracy. ‘The Steenerson measure is a lengthy document. It recites that the officers and other members of the Merchant Marine league are engaged in issuing pamphlets, periodicals and other printed matter devoted to the advance- ment and agitation of legislation for-| appropriations by congress for ocean mail service and subsidy payments generally. Further, that an effort is being made improperly to influence members of congress in connection with this legislation. In pursuance of this conspiracy the resolution recites funds are being col lected in various states of the Union from interested persons. The charge was also made by Mr. Steenerson that representatives of the league had gone into his district in an effort to defeat him for re-election because of his opposition to legisla- tion. This took place during the last cam- ! paign. Mr. Steenerson expressed the opinion that an inquiry would disclose like acts of intimidation in other con- gressional districts.
