The support of this league,which so dearly loves the American flag when there is an appropriation wrapped upin it, is of itself enough to dam any measure it advocates. The league is the subsidized bantling of would- be subsidy grabbers. Its attack on a congressman are tributes to his honesty and intelligence.—Chicagzo Tribune. ASLEEP AT THE SWITCH. 7000.

Business men and advertising men through out the entire country should be interested in the fact that the navy department has found newspaper advertising a better result producer than the colored posters. The amount of money spent for posters was much more than that spent for newspaper advertising. Representative Steenerson is not the only Congressman who has been nraligned and blackguarded in the columns of the organ of that Cleve- land organization which calls itself the Merchant Marine league because of its oposition to subsidy legislation it favors. Congressman Kuster- man of Wisconsin is an old and con- sistent opponent of of such legisla- tion. Early in the session he called the attention of the House to a malicious attack on him in the American Flag, the sheet in which the league vituperates men who will not vote as it orders them to. He also read a letter written to one of his constituents by the editor of that sheet in which the editor rejoices over the prospect of defeating— “The subsidized and retained congressional representatives of the foreign shipping interests who have deliberately deceived their constitu- ents for years, and who have prac- ticed fraud and infamy in th_eir attack on the American Flag, and whose real loyality is to Hamburg Germany, in- stead of to the United States.” Mr. Kusterman was a resident of Hamburg before he came to the United States. Congressman Steenerson charges that money was sent to a resident of his home town to get information about his private affairs, and that he was told it was to be used in articles to appear in the public press, the object being to intimidate him and make him change his posi- tion on the pending subsidy bill. He has not been intimidated. He has asked the House foran investi-} gation. There should be one. These are the methods of the Merchant Marine league of Cleve- land, Ohio. Now, where does. that concern get its’ inspiration?” Who supplies the sinews of war for its malevolent campaign? It is never of asserting that all who are ggeimst the bill it is supporting: are sub. sidized by foreign shipping interests. Is that akind of “Stop Thief” cry, .to ecsape suspicion of being itself subsidized by American shipping in- The bulletins sent out by K. Neut- son, secretary of the Property Owner’s Federation, regarding fire insurance, is creating much favor- able comment among the newspapers of this state. The article is entitled Is The Pub- lic, “Asleep at The Switch?” and contains the Minnesota system of fire tax and as it is applied. It states that the cost of the collection is $4,230,000; misappropriated, $1.710,000; feloneously stolen, $1,- 620,000; for original purposes $1,- 440,000. The purpose of the Property Owners’ Federation is to cut down the number of fires in the state that insurance rates might be lowered and making a very strong appeal to property owners, asking them if theyare going to stand 1t year after year without pro- test or without adopting some cor- rective measure in their behalf. The federation is receiving the endorsement from nearly all the banks of the smaller cities and throughout the entire state. [ BY THE WAY | A little learning is a dangerous thing, especially if you are a cook. Whena man keeps telling what be is going to do we feel inclined to start him on the way with a little assistance in the rear, There are men mean enough to get sick if their wives want to go visiting. Well Known Gambler Dead. New York, March 16.—Phil Daly, years ago one of the best known gam- blers in this country, died from heart disease in Long Branch, N. J. He was seventy-five years old and of late years had lived almost as a recluse. For many years Daly ran the Pennsyl vania club at Long Branch. It is be lieved that he was practically penni: less when he died. ONE MILLION DOLLARS FOR A 600D STOMAGH This Offer Should be a Warning to Every Man and Woman. The newspapers and medical journals have had much to say relative to a famous millionaire’s offer of a million dollars for a new stomach. This great multi-millionaire was too busy to worry about the condi- tion of his stomach. He allowed his dyspepsia to run from bad to worse until in the end it became incurable. His misfortune should serve as a warning to others. Every one who suffers with dyspepsia for a few years will give everything he owns for a new stomach. Dyspepsia is caused by an ab- normal state of the gastric juices. There is one element missing—Pep- sin. The absence of this destroys the function of the gastric fluids: They lose their power to digest food. We are now able to supply the pepsin in a form almost identical to that naturally created by the system when in normal health, so that it restores to the gastric juices their digestive power, and thus makes the stomach strong and well. We want every one troubled with indigestion and dyspepsia to come toour store and obtain a box of Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets. They contain Bismuth-Subnitrate and Pepsin prepared by a process which develops their greatest power to overcome digestive disturbance. Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets are very pleasant to take. They soothe the irritable, weak stomach, strengthen ‘and invigorate the digestive organs, relieve nausea and indigestion, pro- mote nutrition and bring about a feeling of comfort. If you give Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets a reasonable trial we will return your money if you are not satisfied with the result. Three sizes, 25 cents, 50 cents and $1.00. Remember you can obtain Rexall Remedies in Bemidji only at our store,—The Rexall Store. Barker's Drug Store. | LocAL A Smoked salmon, the kind that tastes so good, at Roe & Markufen’s.

John’s face was adorned with a hirsute appendage of an exceedingly florid hue—in fact, ’twas nearly red, but the whiskers enhance John’s personal appearance and give him an exceedingly clerical expres- sion. Richard Funck of Cass Lake, county attorney for Cass county, came to Bemidji last evening to look over a launch which he may purchase from local parties, and which he contemplates using on Cass lake during the coming summer.
