T EeE T MINNESOTA |HISTORICAL SOCIETY. VOLUMF 8 NUMBER 37 SENTAOR OWEN'S BILL WILL MEET WITH FAVOR Medical Association It is Said Has Tried to Accomplish These Results For Years. In the Twentieth Century Magazine for June, 1910, Mr. B. O. Flower publishes an article on the Owen Health Bill, now before the Congress of the United States, Mr. Flower writes: “Only those who have been familiar with the uninterrupted, adroit and persistent struggle on the part of organized medical societies for the past half century to secure a monopoly in medical practice that would enormously ennich the favored ones, would appreciate the danger lurking in even Senator Owen’s bill, unless he carfeully scrtinized Sections 7 and 8 of this measure, «Elsewhere in his speech Sentor Owen says: ‘The American Medical Association, I understand, for twenty years has been trying to accomplish some results in this| matter.’ American And again: ‘The Medical Association nineteen yedrs ago(1891)by a com- mittee, ..., urged this policy of a department public health.” Yes,it is the American Association that has been so aggressively favoring medical monopoly legislation in the states, that for twenty years has been the real, active, vital power in striving to get an enter- ing wedge for national supervision of health. It has, according to the confession of its own members, been perfecting its political machinery and bringing itself into touch with the political leaders of of all the parties, with a view to compassing its cherished aims. “On- one- “question ~there* gt -—~— been unity of purpose and action —the attempt to take away from the citizen the right to select the physican of his choice. «Usually, when such measures are introduced, the tirst step, or the entering wedge, is apparently very innocent and little open to objection. The privilege-seeking mtrests first seek to obtain a {standing in court. and the mere prestige of government behind them. Then, step by step they press forward in securing monoply powers by depriving the people of rightful freedom and placing them in the power of the protected class, But in Sections 7 and 8 of Senate bill 6049 we find provisions that could easily be employed as en- gines of advancement at the ex- pense of the proper rights and liberties of the citizens, “Section 7 provide that: It shall be tt:e duty and province of such Department of Public Health to supervise all matters within the control of the Federal Government relating to the public health and to diseases of animal life’; while Section 8 provides for the estab. lishment of ‘chemical, biological and other standards necessary to the efficient administration of said department.’ CLAUSEN BUYS MARKET. Carl Clausen, who has been em- ployed in the City Meat market, purchased the market from Frank Pierce and will continue the busi- ness at the old stand, 306 Third street, near the Majestic Theatre. Mr. Clausen is a well known young man in this city and has many friends. The large patronage of the City Meat market will doubtless continue with Mr. Clausen. Notice.

We Beltrami County Delegates to the Crookston Convention will join the special train coming from Duluth and the Eastern Counties, all bound for the Development meeting. Take a few minutes from busi- ness and give our friends from east of us a rousing greeting. “Be a Booster” “ON TO CROOKSTON.” “Wake up snakes and shake your rattles.”” When the train load from the eastern counties goes through here tomorrow, Wednesday after- noon, Bemidji should turn out by the hundredsand give them a royal welcome. Let them know that they are going through a real live city when they reach the ‘‘Hub City.” Follow the Masten band to the depot, and let enough people get on the train from Bemidji that will make the delegation from the east- ern counties look like a mere hand- ful, If you cannot go to Crookston, go to the depot, filled with enthusiasm and give those who can-go a genume Bemidji send off. Among those who ‘will go to Crookston to the Development meet- ing in addition to the delegates are: Andrew Larson, chairman of the town ‘of Laxmers, Warren Brandborg, the City Drug store. F. S.

Itis also probable that the Bemidji band in full uniform will accompany the Bemidji “boosters” to the Crooks- ton convention. An immense out door mass meet. ing is being planned to be held at the Great Northern depot for 3 o’clock tomorrow__afternoon. It is believed that Bemidji will turn -out en mass and that the delegates and boosters will receive a rousing send- off. When the St. Louis county and Range delegates make their trip to- morrow in special cars ‘one thing is certain, they will surely know when they pass through Bemi MORNING STAR WILL SAIL ON MISSISSIPPI Big Boat Wil Go Into Commission About July 15 for Tour- ing Purposes. A new steamboat whistle will be heard upon the waters of the Missis- sippi within a very few weeks. The Carnival City Packet company, of Davenport, Ia., in which former Gov. S. R. Van Sant and other twin city men are interested, has purchased the Morning Star, for many years one of the finest passenger boats plying between Cincinnati and Louisville on the Ohio river, and bas sent it to Rock Island to be thoroughly overbauled and re- modeled. It will be put into service this summer to accomodate the tour- ist traffic between St. Louis and St. Paul. During the winter months the Morning Star will make. tourist trips on the Ohio, Cumberland, Tennessee, Red and Lower Mississippi rivers, When remodeled, the vessel will be 265 feet in length, 65 feet beam and draw five feet of water. Both intern- ally and externally it will be the finest'boat on the Mississippi river. It is probable the boat will go into commission ~about the time. the Upper Mississippi River Improve- ment association meets in St. Paul in July, to continue the aznauon for. a six-foot chanuell at low water from St. Paul to the mouth of the Missouri. IS SMITH LIEUTENANT ~ GOVERNOR OF MINN.? Minnesota has a new lieutenant governor, the first one, in fact, since Goy. Eberhart became the state’s Chief Executive. In the Capifol at noon a few days ago, E. E. Smith, Senator from Minnenpolip. stood before George Correll, deputy in the Secretary of States office, took the oath and was thereby in- ducted -into officc. When A. O. Eberhart became governor, after the death of the late Gov. Johnson, Mr. Smith, as president of the senate, would, under the law, be- come lieutenant governor. How- ever, he never took the oath of office until a Saint Paul newspaper called attention to ' the fact that the place was vacant. Mr. Smith con- sulted an attorney and found that it would be necessary for him to take the oath to be entitled to the place. He lmmedmely complied, and now, instead of “Sen. Smith” it is “Lieutenant Governor Smith.” NYMORE SGHOOL GIRLS GIVE SPLENDID DRILL Receive Much Applause at Both Hall And Cemetery.—Deserve Much Credit for Work. One of the big “hits” made yester- day in the Memorial services was that of the children from the Nymore school. 'The drill given by this well trained organization did credit to its school'that would be a credit to any school: - The drill was given both at the cemetary and hall and received considerable favorable comment, Tt is needless to say that the school will be called upon for a number in all public ‘exercises in the future. .Every member in the class did her- self justice and Nymore can well be proud of the work and enthusiasm displayed by its representatives.

What would you do, if while out in the woods a big black bear came upon you. Would you shoot or run? Well, last Sunday, -this is what happened to John Rustad, a well- known resident in the Battle river country. Mr. Rustad while out in the woods saw a big black bear and cool as you please, John raised his gun, took a very careful aim and fired. This angered Mr. Bruin not a little, and not because John missed him, but because he hit him. The big black bear at once showed fight and turned upon man and gun, but Mr. Rustad was not at all fright- ened at least so he says, and his actions lend proof to his statement. He stood still facing the bear, while Mr. Bruin was making for him as fast as posslble. Again Mr. Rustad displayed wonderful nerve, by taking another careful aim, this time right between the eyes of Mr. Bear, and waited the approach of his victim. Bang went the gun and over toppled Mr. Bear. Mr. Rustad feels highly elated over his prize and tells the story without a quiver. MacVeagh to be in St. Paul. Fraoklin MacVeagh, Secretary of the Treasury, has been invited to address the annual convention of the Minnesota Bankers Associa- tion to be held in St. Paul June 22- 23.

BEMIDJI TO HAVE NEW BUSINESS DIRECTORY * Publisher Has Commenced Active Work Securing Names. Bemidji is to have ‘a directory. That sounds good, doesn’t it? John H. Ley, the Ié“ known directory publisher who resides in St. Cloud, is in the city and has commenced active work in securing names for this directory. Mr. Ley is sidered one of the most accurate and carefull directory publishers in the northwest. It is needless to -say that this is something Bemidji needs and wants and will be welcomed with open arms. Many business places, es- pecially the hotels, have occasion to offer its services to its patrons. Hotel Markham, the big Hotel of the city, turns away hundreds of travelers when they ask to see the business directory. Fach time they apologize for the city and- give the best possible excuse as to why a directory has not been published. The hotel is' a constant source of information for the traveling public and does much to keep up the city’s standing, The Hotel Markham is known as one of the most accommo- ting in the state and when Bemidji’s new directory is out it will surely help in the rendering of much assistance. The directory will mclude Ny- more, Mill Park and all who reside within the city limits over the age of eighteen. The merchants and business men of = this city should lend every assistance to make this directory complete. - Mr. Ley states that he has had enough encourage- ment to warrant getting out the book &nd that its certainty is assured. He will meet with much success’in his adventures in this city. His pleasing personality and his know- ledge of directory work meet daily with ‘much favorable comment. ~ GHAS. H.

The celebration for Memorial day held in this city far surpassed any- thing held in years. A large crowd turned out to help the “boys of ’61” make this day a feature decoration day. The old soldiers were taken out to the cemetery in automobiles. Through the efforts of Mayor John C. Parker these autos were secured and after the parade the boys in blue were given a trip out into the country. Such a jolly gathering as this is seldom seen. All express themselves as being royally treated and extend thanks to Mayor Parker and the Elks club for their aid and assistance in making this-event what it was. At the next meeting of the old soldiers a resolution will be drawn up and adopted in which their appreciation will be duly shown. Company K and the Bemidji band were out and if ever they were a credit of this city, yester- day’s turnout added considerable more. The graves were beautifully decorated and everything took on a summer appearance. The day was ideal and Bemidji citizens turned out as never before. ‘The meeting at the city hall was largely attended, and the speakers, M. J. Brown, P. J. Russell and E. E, McDonald, were given hearty applause for their able and well de- livered speeches. The quartette, “Tenting Tonight,”’ and the solo by Andrew Rood were well received. At the Odd Fellows hall the G. A. R post entertained all visitors and gave ‘a dinner in the genuine old fashioned way. While the services were in pro- gress in the city hall, the band and militia visited the home of Judge H. W. Bailey, commander of the post, who has been seriously il for a month, and played several selections before the house. The judge was unable to attend services, which were presided over by Senior Vice Commander George Smith, who did very well. WHAT! NOT A MEMBER OF THE GOMMERGIAL GLUB? Join Today and Beconie a Booster and an Active Live Wire in the City of Belmb:: Well, what do you think? A man in business and not a member of the Bemidji Commercial Club. Can it be possible? What can be the mat- ter? Is it the fault of the man or the club? There is only one way to look at it and that is this—If you are living in Bemidji and in business in Bemidji you are a part of Bemidji. You should be more than this. You should be active in you work to help boost Bemidji. You cannot be an active part nnless' you’re a member of the Commercial club of this city. The club needs you and you need the club. It helps both ways. You would rather be a live wire than a dead one and we all know there are a few 'dead ones” in Bemidji. Get into the harness and help pull Be- midji to the front. Secretary Jester of the Bemidji Commercial Club will gladly enter your name as a member and only a small fee is required to become one If you are a live wire make it known and this is the best way.
