We said this after we had printed the story about the Smith money here before the con- vention so that we know what charges we would have to stand. But the Duluth Herald goes a step too far and we feel that we must reply or lose our self respect. Saturday the Herald published the followiug clipping in its political column: “‘Says the Pioneer: ‘It is a wellknown fact that Smith himself has not enough money to be buying votes and delegations in the convention, and aside from the fact that he and his backers were willing to go such lenghts, it looks shady when he has so much money to cirulate.” ““This is so entirly indefensible as to give rise to a quesiion as to the mental state of the writer or person responsible for the publication of the artical, “If ever a clean, honorable fight for nomination to a state office was made, it surely was that made by Mr. Smith and his friends. No such intimations as these made by the Bemidji Pioneer were even whisped at St. Paul, and there is absolutely no justification for pub- lishing such a charge, veiled as it is in ambiguous terms and not hewing close to any definite line of accusa- tion. “Mr. Smith made friends in every delegations sent to the convention, and no one there, or elsewhere, will give credence to the Pioneer’s slurs,” The story printed in the Pioneer was absolutely true and we know who was offered money to bolt for Smith, If the Duluth writer, or any other, wants to know anything more of the matter, he can cometo us in private. | BY THE WAY | If there is anything longer than the time that bothered the Carolina governors, it is the distance between instalments in a continued story. When a man never hurries nor worries it is a sign he holds an ap- pointive office. If you make more than one real friend in a life time it is a sign you have had a remarkable luck. Don’t grow sentimental as you grow old unless you waunt to become a subject of either scorn or derision: THE DISSAPOINTMENT Harold’s through with college, Father's disappointed; Harold’s filled with knowledge, Brain is double-jointed. But that’s not tke oddest Features of our Harold: He is very modest, Quietly appareled, Father’s vexed completely: He was fairly yearning To deliver sweetly Some remarks on learning. He expected Harold ‘To come homeward bringing Books of songs he’d caroled, Thinking he was singing. He expected also Harold would be yelling Things the students bawl so Which defy all spelling Harold’s big diploma Simply threw his father In a state of coma Causing lots of bother. Father had some roasting Ready to deliver To stop Harold’s boasting And to make him shiver Sentences sarcastic Would his thoughts bespoken In a manner drastic: They remain unspoken. Harold’s through with college, House is in a pother; He’s come back with knowledge More than that of father. Still he’s very modest; You would scarcely know it, For, you see, the oddest ‘Thing is he don’t show it. Chicago Post. ENDEAVORS TO HASTEN THE END Taft Pleads With Warring Factions in Congress. UPHOLDS SENATE PLAN Desires House Conferees on Reclama- tion Bond Issue Bill to Accept the Measure Passad by the Upper Branch—No Money to. Be Available This Year for Public Buildings Ap- proved by Congress. ‘Washington, June 25.—In an effort to hasten congress toward adjourn- ment, the president had as luncheon guests Senators Lodge, Bailey and Smoot and Representatives Payne and Dalzell, conferees in relation to the bond issue bill now -pending in con- ference. The house members insist that the senate, in changing the provi- sions of the house bill so as to vest more discretion in the president in approving reclamation projects on which the $20,000,000 bonds are to be expended, violated a hard and fast agreement made to make the house bill intact. The house provision re- quiring the inspection of such projects by the engineer corps of the army was struck out by the senate: The president told the house con- ferees that he preferred the sen- ate bill to the house bill, but that if the house members felt they could not meet his wishes he would take what- ever legislation he could get. Representative James Tawney, chairman of committee on appropria- tions, said that no money would be made available at this session for the public buildings authorized by the omnibus bill just agreed to in con- ference. Members will have to be content with the authorization made for build- ings and sites. The failure to appro- priate money at this time for new public buildings will not make for de- lay in their construction. Even if funds were available Supervising Arch- itect Taylor would be unable to begin work on new buildings for more than a year. Mr. Taylor has informed the leaders that there is no Immediate need for the $19,000,000 or more carried in the omnibus bil. WATCHMEN: GUARD INFANT Kidnappers Have No Chance to Get Walsh Heir. Bar Harbor, Me, June 27.—Féarful of some attempt to kidnap the: six¢ months-old heir of the houses of Mc- Lean and Walsh precautions have been taken this summer at the Briars, the summer home of Edward B. Mc: Lean, that would be worthy of a young. prince. Just before the McLeans came to their newly acquired country home this spring rumors reached them: that an attempt to kidnap the baby, who is heir to many millions of dollars, would be made and the country es- tate at the seashore offered tempting opportunities for such a scheme. The possibility that some attempt might be made on the boy led the parents on arriving at Bar Harbor to engage a force of special police. Two stalwart watchmen are constantly em- ployed day and night guarding the safety of the boy and the movements. of all who linger near the cottage are carefully watched. Winols Mayor Indicted.

NOT A RADICAL STEP Head of Department of Jastice Calle] Attention to the Fact' That Opposk tion Has Been Made to Every Pro- gressive Measure of Commerce| Regulation—Address Causes . a Slump in Prices at New York. Chicago, June 25.—In a vigorous de- fense of the power of the national gov- ernment to legislate on the subject of the issuance of stocks and bonds by railroad corporations, subject to the interstate commerce act, Attorney General George W. Wickersham spoke for an hour before the Illinois State Bar association. The basis for his talk was the provision in the new rail- road ‘law authorizing the president to investigate' questions pertaining to the issuance of stocks and bonds by rail- road corporations and the power of congress to regulate them, The enactment of such a law, he contended, was not nearly so radical a step as was the enactment of the per- missive act of 1866 which gave to a rallroad corporation of one state the right to carry on interstate commerce on the interstate commerce act of 1887. The attorney general pointed out that opposition had been made to every. progressive measure of com- merce regulation. “But,” he declared, in closing his speech, “the centralizing tendency has gone steadily on, and the control ot congress over interstate rallroad com- panies has been exercised in an in- creasingly comprehensive manner. Such progress is inseparable from growth. Central Regulation Is Essential. “The great arterfes of communica- tion between different parts of the country and the instrumentalities ‘which control their operation can only be properly regulated in the public in- terest by the central national power; a power which is sovereign, which is exclusive when exercised; and which ghould be- exercised to correct every evil of a public character which ex- perience demonstrates to be suscepti- ble of correction only by national leg+ islation.” Numerous legal cited by the attorney general, from which he declared it may confidently be asserted that, while congress may itself create corporations for the pur- pose of carrying on interstate com- merce, it may also prescribe rules and regulations under which a corpora- tion created by the laws of a state may conduct such commerce, and that when it does so.such statescorporation might engage only in such.commerce in conformity with the rules and regu- lations so laid down by congress; and that these rules may have reference not only to the:exchange of goods and commodities, but to the subject, the vehicle ‘and the agent of such com- merce and their various operations. Address Sends Stocks Down. New York, June 25.—Selling of stocks was widespread, following the publication of the text of Attorney General Wickersham’s. Chicago ad- dress. Great Northern preferred got down 3 points, St. Paul 2%, Union Pacific 214, Soo 1% and other issues declined correspondingly. OKLAHOMA: CAPITOL FIGHT Citizens of Guthrie Ask Federal Of- ficials to Interfere. Guthrie, Okla,, June 25.—A formai:| appeal to the United States govern- ment to renew the struggle now on betwen Guthrie and Oklahoma- City: as sites of the state capitol was made by the citizens of Guthrie in tele- grams sent to Attorney General Wick- ersham, Judge Campbell, in dismiss- ing the injunction sought by the Guth- rle citizens in the federal-court to pre:| vent the removal of: the state records. to Oklahoma City, held that the si- lence of the government precludes in- dividual citizens from maintaining an action in the federal court. The Guthrie attorneys gave immedi- ate notice of an appeal to the supreme- court of the United States. The state: books and records are. still held at Guthrie as a result of the injunction Issued by Judge Huston of the dis: trict court. Mayor Rose Going West. Chicago, June 25.—Former Mayor David S. Rose of Milwaukee, knoww throughout the country through his 8peeches against prohibition, is about to leave the city of which he has been the chief executive for four terms.

KAISER WILL BE AT WHEEL Hopes to Defeat American Yacht at Kiel Regatta. Kiel, June 25.—Emperor William will be at the wheel when his yacht Meteor again tries conclusions with the American schooner Westward, owned by Alexander S. Cochran of New York. The announcement that the emperor would personally partici- pate in the racing has given new life to the annual regatta. In the lower Elbe regatta the West- ward outclassed the Meteor, the Ham- burg and the Germania, leading frem the start. Captain Barr and his expert crew are sailing the Westward and the com- ing race with the Meteor and the Germania, owned by Dr. Krupp von Bohlen and Halbach, is eagerly awaited. : OPPOSITION TO ANTI-OPTION BiLL Fillbuster on in the- House Against Measure. ‘Washington, June 25.—A fillbuster against the Scott cotton futures anti- option bill was instituted shortly after the-general debate on'the measure-be- gan in the house. Many of the New York and New Orleans members are against the Bill,; while Chicago mem- bers oppose it on account of Chicago marts. The measure is a drastic one, ex- tending to an inhibition against tele- graph; telephone or cable’ messages, concerning. such transactions. The house conferees receded from their disagreement to the senate amendments to the campaign publicity bill and the act will provide for pub- lcation of contributions after elec- tions. Senator Burrows made a re- port to the senate and it was adopted. The conflict over the Appalachian and White mountain forest reserva- tion bill was' resunted in the' senate when the measure was taken-up; The feeling prevailed that its chances for passage at this: sessfon- were slight. The bill had no sooner been called up by Senator Brandegee than Mr. Bur- tonm, its chief opponent, took the floor. Included in ‘the ranks’ of ‘those: ob- Jecting: to the passage of the bill were Messrs. Burton, Bailey, Hughes, Clay and’ Paynter and the understanding was that all would ask- to beheard before a vote was: reached. DOING mm DuTY Scores of Bemidji Readers Are .
