Will Alice stop smoking cigarettes? An exchange asks, “Is it Sweet Caporals, Sweet Alice?” Don’t get restless, you census guessers. You'll make us nervous. The Bemidji census will be out soon now, and its a good thing too, for it took us ’'til now to sort out the guesses tbat have come in. Statistics of the enforcement of anti-spitting ordinances show that such ordinances have been enacted in seventy-four cities in the United States, only thirty-six of which have made arrests for violations, the total number of such arrests having been 3,421, One in every seven of the persons arrested was acquitted, the total number convicted being 2,918. The easiest thing to do in the world is to claim everything in sight. Thisis the custom on the eve of an election or before a prize fight, and democrats are now using their privilege to a large extent, claiming they will sweep the country at the next election, although democracy has done nothing to merit the people’s confidence or support beyond being negative. Col. William J. Anderson, who has made frequent visits to Bemidji and who is interested in lands in this section of the country, writes that Bemidji is one of the best health re- sorts in the world. He says there is nothing finer in climate and water than the shores of Lake Bemidji with that pine fragrance and tonic atmosgphere. He believes that Bemidji should be continually boomed as a health resort. GETTING BUTTER AND EGGS BY MAIL. In all European countries parcels have been handled by post for so long a time that no arguments for or against this service, such as ome hears in the United States, are ever raised. If it should be proposed in Germany to abolish the parcels post (a most unthinkable proposition) loud complaint would, no doubt, be heard immediately from the people of the small towns and the farming population, who thus send to cities their butter, eggs, vegetables, and flowers to actual consumers, thus competing directly with the retail provisioning: establishments of every city, The rate charged for ten pounds to be carried 50 miles is about six cents. This would be ‘‘pie” for our farmers. Instead of merchants in cities the size of Bemidji having to buck the mail order houses, we would find that the big city stores would be up in arms to prohibit the farmers from supplying the city trade by mail. Very few of those who are too good to go to the circus miss geflipz a fine look at the parade. Feminine philosophy—Get a good husband if you can, but get one anyway. We once knew a man who was so homely that he was willing to cover his face with a red beard. A man does not own his office, even if he bought it. PEDRO MONTT.

Siewers, presi- dent, presiding, adopted resolutions asking “prominent persons in every community to refrain from using cigarettes and advocating the raising of standards of conduct and morality in women rather than lowering the standards of women.” ‘When President Siewers was asked if the resolutions were aimed at Mrs Alice Roosevelt Longworth she an- swered: “Yes; the resolutions were aimed at Mrs. Longworth, Miss Eleanor Sears of Boston and a dozen other promi- nent women who have been mentioned in the newspapers as indulging in clgarette smoking, and copies of the resolutions will be mailed to all of them, including Mrs. Longworth.” DYING BY THE HUNDREDS City of Canton, China, Infected by, the Plague.

Big fires are raging in the Coeur d’Alene national forest, the Bitter Root mountains and the St. Joe and Clearwater country. Rangers Ring and Finish are re- ported to have made way through a blazing forest for ten miles, keeping in the bed of the stream, in a portion of which they had to crawl to avoid the blistering heat. They reached Stiles nearly dead. Bitter Root Reserve Ablaze. Butte, Mont., Aug. 8.—The worst fire yet on the Bitter Root national forest reserve {is reported on St. Mary's mountain, near Stevensville, and a large force of men was immediately dispatched to the scene. - Another new fire was reported at Nine Mile and sixty men are being hurried into the Clearwater forest, where an immense amount of damage is being done. Helena, Mont., Aug. 8.—So serious has' the forest fire situation in North- western and Western Montana become that Governor Norris has telegraphed the presidents of the three transcon- tinental railroads beseeching their co- operation in fighting®the flames. SCHIFF IS WELL PLEASED Banker Optimistic Over the Resources of Alaska. ‘Winnipeg, Man., Aug. 8.—Jacob H.

Cowes, Isle of Wight, Aug. 8.— ‘While King Alfonso was the guest ot Sir Thomas Lipton aboard the latter’s big yacht Shamrock the mast of the yacht broke in the stiff breeze and fell to the deck with a tremendous crash. There was intense excitement aboard the yacht for a few moments, in which the king plainly shared. It i8 considered miraculous that no one aboard the yacht was hurt in the mis- hap.

PREDICTS G06D RESULTS Says This Method Would Remove Lo- cal Pressure From the Congress- man's Home District and Secure River Improvement on Merits Only. Tariff Commission Should Be Ex- perts of the Highest Possible Grade. New York, Aiig, 8.—Appointment of tariff and river and harbor commis- 8lons to frame legislation in outline is strongly urged by Theodore Roose- velt in an article published in the Out- look. The former president’s advocacy of the commission plan is based in part on.the theory that it would pro- vide the most effective means of re- lieving members of congress of im- proper pressure brought to bear on them by special interests. The Roosevelt article is entitled “A Remedy for Some Forms of Selfish Legislation.” It is inspired by a pa- per-on “Political Reform” written by a congressman for the current number of the World’s Work, in which it is as- serted that until constituencies cease to regard their representatives as so- licitors at the national treasury con- gress will continue to enact iniquitous groups of local favors into national legislation, Should Be Free From Pressure. After recommending specifically the naming of a tariff commission, com- posed of experts of the highest pos- sible grade, and a similar commission to deal with river and harbor matters, Colonel Roosevelt says: “These men, from the very nature of the case, will be wholly free from the local pressure of special interests 80 keenly felt by every man who is dependent on the vote of a particular district every two years for his con- tinuance in public life. “Such a river and harbor commis- sion could report, and probably would report, a great and comprehensive na- tional scheme for. river and harbor im- provements fit to be considered by the people as a whole upon its merits, and not dependent for enactment into law upon a system of log rolling designed to placate special interests which are powerful in each of many score of con- gressional districts.” When the digestion is all right, the action of the bowels regular, there is a natural craving and rel- ish-for faod.-Wihen- this-is-lacking you may know that you need a dose of Chamberlain’s Stomach and Liver Tablets.

Chicago, Aug. 8—From millionaire factor in the railroad building and commercial activities in the North- west down the toboggan of specula- tion and drink to penury, obscurity and prison—such in a few years has been the remarkable fall of W. Wayne Belvin, scion of one of the wealthiest families in‘the South and at one time business assoclate of the great finan- ciers of the nation.

Belvin’s downfall, according to his story, began when he -was divorced by his wife, one of the “Kentucky Morgans,” who later married Francis J. Heney, former district attorney of San Franclsco and enemy of the city’s municipal gratters. . “I'm a miserable wreck of my for- mer self,/ Belvin faltered. “Ever since I broke with my wife I have been on |the decline.
