Teetotallers may howl, but Harvard isn’t afraid of beer money. During 1909 it is estimated that furs to the value of $12,000,000 were shipped from the western provinces of Canada to the United States and England. When it is considered that this represents the wholesale value of the raw furs, it shows in some measure their enormous value when manufactured Hammerstein is a pretty hard name, but-when it came to hammer: ing prima donnas it proved too pliable. President Lowell of Harvard uni- versity is getting rather fresh when he attacks the historic authenticity of Plymouth Rock and the Washing- ton elm. If history .does interfere with local tradition, bistory will have hard work to maintain itself. —_—— Reports reach Washington that Son-in-law Longworth’s declaration that Gifford Pinchot, more than any other man, is responsible for the duty on lumber is changing much sympathy with insurgeats in the middle west to sympathy with the administration. The farmers resent Mr. Pinchot’s declaration, emphaéized by Mr. Longworth, that the consumer is getting his lJumber quite cheap enough anyhow. DOES WALL STREET LIKE IT? “Big Business” is filled with fresh woe. Wall street recent reviews fairly sweat pessimism and drip gloom. The government’s assault on the cotton pool gives the gentle- men of great wealth a new crop of the shivers; and the appointment of Gov. Hughes raises phantoms of horrors to come. It is really Hughes’ appointment that probably sinks deepest. When Brewer died Standard Qil and To- bacco breathed a fat, deep breath. “That putsit off fora year” they said. “Now let’s saw wood—make hay while the sun shines.” This comfort is whisked away. With Brewer they had a chance. With Hughes that chance is whittled to a dangerous edge. A bump in the present would have been better than a smash a little later. Surely the jaunty captains of industry have fallen on evil times. Taft is cracking them on the knuckles with a smile that weighs a ton, and in the offing glower rumb- ling insurgents with heaven knows what dire intent. One escape opens from slow torture in the present pickle. That is a democratic house this fall. Democrats may make a clatter to beat the band; but the malefactors will sleep in peace. The senate will be republican. There would be nothing doing. It would give two years’ relief for the Roosevelt and Taft lashings to heal. I BY THE WAY I People are always polite when they have something to sell. The way to teach manners to your children is to keep them busy borrowing. The ultimate hope of the coward is to find somebody he can bully. Marrying for money is about the hardest way there is of earning it. If you are dissatisfied, ask your- self why and perhaps you will know better. One of the privileges of the fair sex is to insist that they have never been in love, Did you ever feel, any .better be- cause you had assisted in tearing up the town? It always seems harder to do right than not. | UTEOIAG Lk CARRY THOUSANDS Great Rush of Pleasure Seek- ers to Europe. New York, May 23.—The tide of wealth and tashion toward Europe reached its spring flood Saturday when a fleet of seven outgoing liners oarried 2,695 persons bound for the pleasure cities and resorts of Great Britain and the Continent. This throng of pleasure seekers will leave many millions of dollars in the va- rious countries they visit. The rush Europeward has never seemed more general among people of means and leisure than this year. Not only did the number of passengers sailing constitute the record for a sin- gle day, but on other recent sailing days the passenger lists of the liners have been of unusual length and the outward tide of travel promises to con- tinue until unusually late. The sum- mer season in Europe holds out un- usual attractlons in aviation meets and other big amusements. Wisconsin Stage Held Up. Viroqua, Wis., May 23.—Wisconsin has not yet passed from the frontier state, to judge from a holdup of Guy McDowell, a stage driver, south of here. A supposed passenger held him up at the point of a gun, took all the valuables in the stage and from Mec- Dowell’s pockets and escaped into the woods. Many Injured When Seats Fall. Chicago, May 23.—Thirty-five per- sons were injured in a collapse of seats at a circus and Wild West show in Blue Island, a suburb. An attempt by small boys to climb up from under- neath the seats after having slipped in under the canvas is believed to have been the cause of the accident. Tornado Destroys Farmhouses. Bluff City, Kan., May 23.—A tor- nado, with a fall of hailstones as large as eggs, destroyed farmhouses, barns, orchards and crops in the eastern part of Harper county. No lives were lost. Telephone and telegraph wires are down. BAILEY IN OLD “LID.” Texas Senator Reported to Be Sporting Silk Tile. Photo by American Press Association.

KEEP THE KIKNEYS WELL Health is Worth Saving, and Some Bemidji People Know How to Save It. Many Bemidji people take their lives in their hands by neglecting the kidneys when they know these organs need help. Sick kidneys are responsible for a vast amount of suffering and ill health, but there is no need to suffer nor to remain in danger when all dis2ases and aches and “pains due to weak kidneys can be quickly and per- manently cured by the use of Doan’s Kidney Pills. Here is a Bemidiji citizen’s recommendation. Mrs. Ella Barrett, Sixth and American Sts ,» Bemudji, Minn., says: “I used Doan’s Kidney Pills and was well pleased with the results. I was nervous and at times had dull pains in the small of my back, ac- companied by an ache across my kidneys. These organs did not act properly and caused me much dis- comfort. I decided to try a kidney remedy and procured. a box of Doan’s Kidney Pills ‘at the Owl Drug Store. Ina short time after using them I felt a great deal better and am now in fairly good health. I have no hesitation in recommend- ing Doan’s Kidney Pills.” For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo New York, sole agents for the United States.
