Will Bryan run again in 1912? He says not, but will his present position do the party greater harm, than if he were a candidate on the Demo- cratic ticket in 19127 After all, the real exhibition—the one that will stir the heart and make you proud you are here—opens at our fair grounds next week to show what Beltrami county can-do, even with the rain water turned off all sum- mer. At Fargo a poorly dressed man insisted upon Colonel Roosevelt tel- ling him who it is that is paying for the colonel’s trip. The colonel told him and added a few things the man didn’t ask about. Incidentally, the colonel said it is the magazine for which he works that is footing the bills, In the introductory matter of the Republican Campaign Text Book is the following sentence: “A Republican Text Book differs from a Democratic Text Book somewhat as history differs from Romance. A Republican Text Book aims simply to give facts and results—a Democratic Text Book is like a promise to pay without funds in the Bank.” The traveling public care litttle what gain a city has made during the last census period. He will not be heard, as he travels about the country, extolling a town for its re- markable increase in population. Let him find a first rate hotel with- in its borders and he will praise it wherever he goes. Bemidji gets an abundant supply of good advertising from the commaercial traveler. Things are very quietat the offices of the republican state committee in St. Paul, and will be until after the conservation con- gress. Chairman E,E, Smithis over about every day fora little while, attending to correspond- ence. The press bureauis not organized, and in fact there is little to be done uutil the demo- crats put up their target. A pamphlet will soon be issued giving a concise record of accom- plishment. by republican officials and legislatures. This will be one of the campaign textbooks for speakers. This is being prepared outside the headquarters. WHY BERG IS NEEDED. The 61st. district is one of the most remarkalbe results of gerry- mander observable on the map, and in it are many new and rapidly grow- ing communities. It is one of the striking object lessons that point to the necessity for immediate reappor- tionment, and on that question Mr. Berg is an enthusiast. He is com- pletely in accord with the objects and declarations of the Crookston and Bemidji convention. “Reapportionment, development and good roads are the three prin- cipal things needed in this part of the state,” says Mr. Berg. “We must have reapportionment, without delay. Men who are candidates for the state senate should not be nomi- nated or elected unless they are prepared to servé but two years. That is the only way we can accom- plish anything in this direction.” Mr. Berg is one of the best known men in public life in the state, of which he is a native. When he lived in Chisago county he served eight years as registerof deeds. Then he became secretary of state and con- tinued in that office for three terms. Later he served in the legislature of 1902. In 1892 he was a delegate to the Republican. convention, and at the 1908 national convention he was a reading clerk,—Extracts from Duluth Herald. CAN'T FORGET THE MAINE, Protruding from the deep blue waters of Havana harbor is to be seen the rusted steel of the battle- ship Maine which, twelve years ago, carried more than 300 Ameri- can sailors down to death and brought upon the United States a war with Spain. % This wreck of the United States’ once trim fighter occupies a posit- 10on almost directly in the center of the harbor, a menace to shipping and anything but a proud relic for Americans to view. It has been the writer’s privilege to personally examice the wreck and to secure from the Cubangov- ernment officials, city officers, and harbor agents opinions regarding the disaster, There is a well es- tablished feeling in -Havana that American negligence and noi Spanish treachery sent the great ship to the bottom. Still there is no direct evidence that this is true, except that it appears that the ex plosion was from the inside rather than beneath or along side the vessel as would have been the case in the event of the explosion of a mine. The Spanish harbor master ordered the Maine to take up a new position the evening before the ex- plosion. by the harbor master but had to obey the man baving control uf the harbor. Within a few hours after the change had taken place, the ship was a wreck. So the mystery has remained un- solved. Now thereis a movement on foot to raise the wreck and float it to New York. In Havana they will tell you that the United States is afraid to raise the Maine, because, they contend, it will quickly become apparent as to who should be blamed for the catastrophe. There has been offers before to do away with the wreck but the one now made by the New York firm appears the first practical one and as congress is on record in favor of such a move, it ought not to be many weeks before one of the mo:t interesting mysteries of the affairs of nations will have been cleared up. | BY THE WAY | Have you paid for your last win- ter's coal?

When I was a little barefoot boy, out in the country, the “threshing” season ‘was the most joyous time of all the year to me and all other boys of my age on neighboring farms. The steam. engine was to us a particular object to interest and delight and the engineer was in our eyes a person to be admired above all mortal men. The distant whistle of the engine, sounding far off on some other farm, would make our hearts throb with emotion and we would hang about on the | candidate for the republican nomina- road, hoping that it would come past, dragging its huge separator, on the way to its work on ‘some other farm. If by a fortunate chance it did come our way, we would sight its black smoke over the trees far up the road long before it came into sight and would run madly to meet it-and to walk excitedly along beside the great iron wheels as they slowly ironed out a wide track in the sand of the road. Hardly less venerated in our. eyes was the boss teamster who stood in the center of the revolving circle of horses which furnished the motive power for the old *horsepower,” which in those days was still frequentiy used. As he stood on his little platform, cracking his long whip about the ears of some laggard horse which did not keep up its pace, he was'in our eyes a most distingnished and envied personage, and when he deigned to talk and-joke with us after the long day's work was done our joy was complete. If1 were the engineer on'a “threshing | county option law. . 8 outfit” now, I should invite some of those excited little. boys who would be sure to be trudging along beside the engine;up to ride with me on the shaking platform fora ways, for I know just how happy: it woul make them. e —ELL He that 1s_ungrntf1_§l has no guilt put ‘one.

BRIQUETTES GAIN IN FAVOR Geological Survey Reports Inéreased Use of Compressed Fuel. ‘Washington, Sept. 7.—Coal briquet- ting is slowly increasing in the United States. The production in 1909, accord- ing to a compilation by E. W. Parker of the geological survey, reached 139, 661 short tons, valued at $452,697. The output in 1908 was 90,358 tons, worth $323,057, and in 1907, 66,524 toms, worth $258,426. The survey has an experimental bri- quetting plant at Pittsburg. The Ger- man press used has a capacity of twa and a half to three tons an hour, tests having beea made with lignites from California, Texas and North Dakota, which were all briquetted successfully without a binding material.
