The long hat pin may be a weapon of defense, but the innocent by- stander generally gets the business end of the wasp. Where is the law a protection to the innocent. Do you read advertisements? Do you know how much farther they will help your money to go? Do you know the care that is exercised in their preparation—to have them clear—and right? Do you know that advertisements published in the Pioneer by the local merchants can be taken literally, word for word? Read the advertisements. Test their statements. It pays to follow Bemidji merchant’s advertisements, because Bemidji merchants stand back of every statement they make. The “Hoch Der Kaiser” campaign for state treasurer is gaining momen- tum as it goes rolling over the state, it is a popular cry throughout the northern portion of the state and southern Minnesota is rapidly falling into line. Every paper in the southern part of the state, whether it has a candidate of its own to boost or not, places Mr. Kaiser in the lead in the fight and have but the kindest of feeling to wards his candidacy. Northern Minnesota they say, must be recognized and why not with state treasurer, when the candi- date offered fills all requirements as to business ability, party fealty, nationality and personal popularity? His business, party and personal re cord are above reproach. Heisa Minnesota product. Born in the city of Winona, where he spent the first eighteen years of his life, and then to northern Minnesota, where he has resided the past twenty-seven years. Starting as a printer’s devil at the age of thirteen years, then holding down cases, then report- ing, then editing and publishing a paper, then banking, his career has been one of the upward trend, with good hard knocks to be met on his part at every stage of the game, as he was born without the proverbial silver spoon and nothing has been handed him in the way of worldly goods. Performance is the thing that has counted with him.© Whenever the people of northern Minnesota have needed his time or talent, it has always been freely and promptly given and with resuits. He has faith in the future of Northern Minnesota and has never lost an opportunity to show his faith, He has always been true to his party principles, never los- ing his standing by failing to rally to the support of any candidate the party has placed in nomina- tion+ For these reasons, as well as the fact that northern Minne- sota is entitled to one of the state officers within the gift of the republican party, are his friends pushing his candidacy for the office of state treasurer, feeling that the whole state will see the justice of their claims and rally to their support,—Bagley Independ- ent. An “Ad” writer, like an egg in |the coffee, clears up the situation, if the egg is not bad. The height of a woman’s principles -is not determined by the heels on her shoes. A child’s excuse goes with it’s mother, but let the old man spring a fairy tale, and war is here. Advertising is the key that, when turned in the lock of business, opens the portals to prosperity. A man swimming saw a maiden on the shore. Seaward a shark floated. He swam seaward. ADMITS HE STOLE SIXTY THOUSAND Philadelphia Bank Teller Sur- renders to Pclice, Philadelphia, March 7.—Thomas E. Larsen, receiving teller of the Phila delphia branch of the First National bank of Camden, N. J,, surrendered to the police on a charge of embezzling $60,000. Larsen confessed, the police say, and has agreed to do all he can to straighten out the books of the bank and take his punishment as speedily as possible. According to the police the teller has been taking the bank’s money for several years.

St. Joseph, Mo., March 7.—Ice drifts fifty feet high have formed at the waterworks bend, about two miles north of St. Joseph.

Allds, on the witness stand at the senate bribery investigatio: voluntarily opened his bank bool and the records of his business trans actions for the last nine years and dared his accusers to find there any- thing to strengthen their assertion that in 1901 he took a $1,000 bribe.

ONE A NOTED CHARACTER Bay-Bum-Mah-Ji-Wa-Skung = was the Second Oldest Chief of the Tribe and Signed the Treaty of 1866 Be- tween the Indians and the Govern- ment—Had - Not Visited National Capital Since That Time. ‘Washington, March 5.—Chief Bay- Bum-Mah-Ji-Wa-Skung, ~who ' signed the treaty of 1866 between the Chip- pewa Indians and the United States government and the second oldest chief of the tribe, and Chief Ay-Ni-Wuy- ‘Way-Ausk, of the same tribe, were found dead in a room at the Halladay House, a hotel patronized largely by Indlans who are in Washington to look after the interests of their tribes in congress. Gas was flowing from an open jet and both of the windows and the door were closed. Neither of the two chiefs had ever slept in a room light- ‘ed with gas before and it is supposed that one of them blew out the gas when they retired. The two chiefs arrived in Washing- ton Thursday from Orr, Minn., with Chiefs Day-Bwa-Wun-Jung and Mah- Chi-Skung and F. N. Pequette, an In- dian missionary, wno came as inter- preter for the party. Reaching Wash- ington they went immediately to the Capitol to see Senator Clapp. The senator, however, was busy and made an appointment for a later date. Pequette explained that their object in coming to Washington was to ask congress for additional land for the Joisfort reservation, about fifteen miles from Orr, which now consists of about fifty-two acres. He said further that they had several claims pending before congress and that they expect- ed these would be disposed of this ses- sion. Chief Bay-Bum-Mah-Ji-Wa-Skung had not been in Washington since 1866, when he came to sign the famous treaty. Chief Ay-Ni-Wuy-Way-Ausk had never been in Washington before. NAMED FOR THE TENTH TIME “Bathhouse” John Coughlin Again a Candidate for Alderman. Chicago, March 5.—For the temnth consecutive time Alderman John (Bathhouse) Coughlin was nominated for member of the city council. The nominating speech was made by Henry Carroll, the Jackson boulevard bridge tender, who ‘has officiated in a like capacity at each convention of dele- gates that named Coughlin for alder- man. There was no opposition. After the cheers died away the al- derman was led triumphantly to the platform. “Fellow Democrats,” he said, “this is a surprise to me. I was never more surprised in my life.” Giving his listeners an opportunity to laugh their heads off at his little sally the alderman resumed his speech. NO DEFINITE ACTION TAKEN 8teenerson Resolution Considered by House Committee. ‘Washington, March b5.—A special meeting of the house committee on judiciary was held to consider the res- olution introduced by Representative Halvor Steenerson of Minnesota, in which the charge is made that im- proper influences have been at work to further the passage of a ship sub- sidy bill. The matter was discussed at length, but no opinions were haz- arded by committeemen as to whether an inquiry as directed by the Steener- son resolution should be ordered. The whole matter was placed in the hands of a sub-committee, composed of Rep- resentatives Sterling of Illinois and EUGENE V. DEBS. Belleves Revolt In Philadel- phia Would Be Justifiable. ‘SAYS CONDITIONS AREROTTEN Eugene V. Debs Discusses 8ituation in Philadelphia. < Terre Haute, Ind., March 7.—“Labor oonditions in Philadelphia are rotten —worse than any other city in the country—and an insurrection will be Jjustifiable.. The people .of that city are cowards if they do mot start one, and I told them so.” Thus spoke Eugene V. Debs, former Bocialistic candidate for president. Debs had just returned from his trip through the East, which he ended in a visit to Philadelphia while the rioting ‘was in progress. “Yes, I saw enough—it is the rawest situation I ever saw—and the city of Philadelphia is governed by gang rule. “Mayor Reyburn, the chief execu: tive of the “city, is a member of the ring. The whole city government is a tool in the hands of the traction com: pany.” MADRIZ WILL FIGHT SEGESSION SCHEME Proposes to Wipe Out Remnant of Insurgent Forces. Managua, Nicaragua, March 5.—The proposal emanating from the defeated revolutionary army to divide Nicara- gva into two republics will meet with the most vigorous opposition by Presi- dent Madriz and the entire govern- . ment army, according to an official an- nouncement. “If Provisional President Estrada persists. in hig.alleged intention to is- sue a proclamation for a division of the eastern half of the country and the formation of an independent re- public General Vasquez will lead an army, made up-of every available gov- ernment sympathizer, in an effort to crush the secession.” The remnants of the revolutionary armies' of Generals Chamorro, Mena and Seledon are now reported hurry: ing toward Bluefields, on the eastern coast, the stronghold of the revolu- tion. The overthrow of the revolution has brought hundreds of persons, who heretofore have been afraid to take sides, to the support of the govern- ment and President Madriz declares he can now put a larger army in the field than at any other time since the revolution began. President Madriz has = promised amnesty to all revolutionists if they will surrender and give up the idea of seceding. i B L X Lstinaomitesnteintitn.,. ] THROW OUT THE LINE Give Them Help and Many Bemidji People Will Be Happier.

Hot Springs, Ark., March 5.—“Gay- nor is doing the things that makes presidential candidates and the kind of candidates whom the people will have faith in and support,” said Chair- man Norman E. Mack of the national Democratic committee here. Mr. Mack denied that he had an en- gagement to meet National Commit- teemen Roger Sullivan and Johnson at San Antonio. The press had car- ried a report that Chairman Mack was to meet these two committeemen to discuss the presidential candidacy in 1912 of Greater New York’s mayor. Mr. Mack refused to discuss Mayor Gaynor further than to say the above. BUSSE IN FAVOR OF SALOONS Mayor of Chicago States. His Position on Liquor Question. Chicago, March 7.—Mayor Busse came out formally against the anti- saloon proposition at the close of the Republican aldermanic primaries. At the convention of the Twenty- first ward, which renominated ' Alder: man Charles M. Foell, the mayor in- troduced a resolution urging the citi- zens to vote “No” April 5 on the little ballot question: “Shall Chicago be- come anti-saloon territory?” The resolution, which was adopted unanimously, indicates the position the city administration will assume in the “wet and. dry” fight, a report on which is to be made to the city coun- cil shortly by the city officials who were chosen at the last council meet- ing to investigate the effect that the elimination of the saloons would have upon the municipal finances.: LB SR R «Throw Out the Life Line”— The kidneys need help.

HOT FIRE OF QUESTIONS Chief Forester Admits That He Has No First ‘Hand Knowledge of Any Act Reflecting on Secretary Ballin- ger in Connection With the Cun- ningham. Case Except the Latter’s Letter to the President. ‘Washington, March 6.—Cross-exam- Ination of Gifford Pinchot proceeded _slowly before the congressional inves- tigating committee. Mr. Vertrees, counsel for Secretary Ballinger; got into long arguments with Mr. Pinchot as to the meaning of some of the lawyer’s questions, The attorney and the witness argued al- most continuously as to inferences to be elicited from documentary evi- dence. Mr. Vertrees did draw from the witness that the latter’s only first handed knowledge of an act reflecting upon Mr. Ballinger in connection with the Cunningham case was based on the letter sent by Mr. Ballinger to President Taft on Nov. 16. ‘With reference to Mr. Pinchot’s dec- laration that Mr. Ballinger had de- ceived the president concerning a de- cision by the controller of the treas- ury Mr. Pinchot admitted that Mr. Bal- linger’'s written statement to the pres- ident was a fair one and that the doc- uments that the secretary admitted were all that properly bore upon the case. The witness insisted, however, that there was the “unavoidable inference” that Mr. Ballinger had communicated in some other way with the president. Mr. Vertrees also brought out the fact that the co-operative agreement with the forest service, which Mr. Ballinger discontinued, was not the usual arrangement whereby one de- partment lends its employes temporar- ily to another, but provided that em- ployes of the interior department should be under the exclusive control and jurisdiction of the forester. Referring to his testimony that Mr. Ballinger, as commissioner of the land office, protested against the creation of the Chugach forest reserve in Alas- ka, in which some of the Cunningham claims are located, Mr, Pinchot said 6 had fever Fead MY Ballinger's Tet- | ter of protest and did not know what reason he gave in the letter.
