Hot air of the candidates is all right but it takes coal to keep the house warm. The “Maine” spring of the Re- publican party seems to have been slightly fractured. Let us hope that the mills of justice succeed in making mince meat out of the packers. The unknown democratic candi- date for governoris said to be well known, highly respected, a good talker and he must be brave. The rubber trust has declared dividends amounting to $5,535,000, after having added $500,000 to its surplus fund. Yes, we said rubber, not robber. Governor Patterson of Tennessee has withdrawn as a candidate to succeed himself and the St. Paul Pioneer Press thinks it is a bad blow for the unpardoned in the state penitentiary. Hon. G. Kusterman, congressman from Wisconsin, and Steenerson’s partner against the ship subsidy graft, was re-nominated by three times the majority he had two years ago, in spite of the fact there was a lot of outside money spent in his district to defeat him. From the present outlook this will be also the case with Steenerson, AN ERRONEOUS IMPRESSION. The impression apparently has been created that the Bemidji Commercial club is opposed to the construction of - drainage ditches in Beltrami county. Nothing could be farther from the truth. The Commercial club not only does not oppose the digging of canals but supports and urges their coustruction in every district where conditions are such that farming may be carried on by a reasonable number of settlers, What it does oppose, and will fight, is excavations through swamp lands where no consider- able number of persons are to be' benefitted, thus shifting a heavy: and unnecessary burden upon the: county. AN OMNIOUS WARNING. If Alabama had gone republican, it couldn’t have been much more of surprise than for Maine to go democratic. For thirty years the “Pine Tree State” has at each succeeding- elect- ion rolled up republican majorities until it has become one - of the rock ribbed Gibralters of the Grand Old ‘Party. Now, from out of a clear sky, comes a stroke of lightniug that shatters this stronghold leaving only the glory of three decades of rule as a consolation for the party in power, The Northern commonwealth by the sea is paying for the sins of those gentlemen of expansive brow who as past masters-of tyranny have snapped their fingers in the face of popular protest and turned a deaf ear to the voice of the people which has been thundering at them in Washington. There is some satisfaction in know- ing that Senator Hale of Augusta, Maine, is'as much to blame as Nel- son W. Aldrich, “Uncle Joe” Cannon | and other members of the crowd which has done so much toward developing landslides for the benefit of the democrats. The Maine election is a warning that republicans should profit by. If the national l]aw making body 1s to be saved to the party of Lincoln, Garfield, McKinley, Roosevelt and Taft the leaders of that party must realize that they can not iuggle platforms and campaign promises for the benefit of the chosen few at the expense of the common people. A little more real Rooseveltism and a little less allegiance to Cau- non’s crooked clique will win back to the republican party the confi- dence which, when unharmpered by false leaders, it merits and has merited during the period of the nation’s greatest growth. WHAT BERG MEANS TO US. It is with the pride of a patriot rather than from any personal feel- ings, that the Daily Pioneer speaks in behalf of Albert L. Berg of Spooner, who isa candidate lcr the (Republican nomination cf state senator from this district, We feel so keenly the need of Mr. Berg as a protecting spirit for north- ern Minnesota in general and our own special district in particular that this paper is doing all it can for him. We are facing questions of great moment; the future prosperity of Beltrami and adjoining counties de- pend largely upon whether our fight for true representation is won, and at best it is going to be a bhard fight and it is going to take big men to win it; men who can hit the line hard; men who have the courage to always stand up for us; men who are inspired by a real, and not a sham devotion to our interests, our desires and our aims. And we believe the man, who for three terms splendidly executed the duties of the high office of secre- tary of state, who has creditably represented his constituents in the lower house of the legislature, who bas dedicated two decades of his life to the welfare of the people and who has ever been a staunch cham- pion for the rights of northern Minnesota; We believe such a man, and only such a man, is big enough to assume the burdens that must fall upon the unshirking shoulders of the next senator from the sixty- first district, and such a man we have in Mr. Berg. He stands for the right things and he has a personality and an established power what will count when the legislature assembles next January. Physically, a giant of Noway, he is fired with American enthusiasm and his enemies, if any be has, must admit that every inch of him is a man, and a fighting man at that. With such a candidate standing for: Better roads; Equal representation in the legis- lature and Government aid for establishing a thorough drainage system; With such a candidate ‘standing 'squarely behind such a platform we have a chance to send a representa- tive to St. Paul who can be depended upon. And now is the time to act. Work for Mr. Berg with all the grit-and determination and enthusiasm which' you would display in any other effort whereby you would ‘benefit yourself and the citizens at large. Make the air ring: with* the name -of : Albert -Berg; take nothing for granted. Let your motto eternally be “BOOST FOR BERG.” Do this and you will have a right to share when Al,be’;t'Berm’l nomination and election shall have - been accom- plished. i EXCEPT IN' MAINE: Hearst has declared that he is a demo- crat, which is taken. that this'is a repub- lican year the country over.—Brainerd Dispatch.

At that it has been the driest summer in many years. Cass Lake expects a still drier fall, says the Bemidji Pioneer. If this be true the drought will extend to Bemidji.—Cass Lake Times. IF WOMEN COULD ONLY VOTE. Register of Deeds J. O. Harris spent a day calling on his many Tenstrike friends Saturday and incidently distributing a few of his photographs, which by the way become so popular that the Tenstrike ladies are procuring them for: their post card albums. Jim is a candidate for re- election and has no serious opposition.— Tenstrike Tribune, GEORGE LOOKS GOOD TO HIM. James L. George, of Bemidji, who is a candidate for the position of county | auditor, arrived in town today for the purpose of meeting the residents of the Border towns. He is meeting with a very cordial reception and' will undoubtedly secure a heavy vote here. Mr. George is one of the most competent accountants in the state, and if elected there is not the least doubt about his making good. An excellent feature of Mr. George's campaign is that he is running on. his merits and makes no effort to belittle his opponents.—Rainy River Region. THE FATE OF A WOBBLER. Clarence B. Miller of Duluth, is meeting the charisteric fate of the wobbler. Two years ago, when he first ran for Congress, Miller called himself “the voice of the people,” and promised on a hundred stumps that he would oppose Cannon and all his works. But Miller had not been in Washington a week when the rules fight began, and on every one of the sev- eral roll-calls in that contest he voted with Cannon. One of his home papers, the Duluth “Evening Herald,” said at the time: “Itis impossible for any man to more- thoroughly repudiate reform, root and branch, than did Mr. Miller by his complete and unequivocal alinement with the Standpatters.” Soon Miller began to hear from home; also the Insurgent movement gained strength and began to look like a winner. Then Miller climbed aboard the band- wagon; in the latter months of his term in Washington he voted- with the Insur- gents, and wrote home to his constituents, as campaign material, that Uncle Joe did not speak to him when he passed him on the street.—Collier's Weekly. It Is a Wise Child. An official of the immigration bureau at Ellis island told a story of a wise Ittle immigrant child. “A little girl came over 1n the steer- age in search of her father, whose pame she gave us. We sent for the d he came and iooked at her. 't tell whether this Is Mary uid he. ‘I haven’t seen Mary since she wus u baby about three montlis -old. How can | tell, then, whether this Is Mary or not? “It was u question we couldn’t an- swer, so we looked from him to the child and from the child buck to him, remaining silent. “Finally, when we were all at our wits’ end, be looked. earuestly at the child and said plaintively, *Am I your father? “And the wise little child answered quickly, ‘Yes, you are.” “And so we made her over to him.” —New York Press. “Hang on Tight” When a smoking car with thirty-five passengers jumped the track, a rail- road engineer in the car, off duty, yell- ed to the passengers to “hang on tight,” and while the car turned over no one was hurt. “Hang on tight” 18 good advice In most upsets. 'The man who hangs on tight to himself when bis temper is upset will get through without hurting , 1, that victory which will thrill us all either himself or others. I'le man ‘who. “bangs on tight” to hls earnings ends with a competence. The man who “hangs on tight” to his place when business upsets come generally holds down his- job. The man. who “hangs on tight” when discouragement or even disaster upsets others is a man to be hopeful about, because he will keep right side up whatever else mn over.—Philadelphia Press. Saved by a Dream. “Hints conveyed by dreams are oc- casionally worth ‘heeding,” - says the London Chronicle. = *“The late Lord Dufferin when In Paris dreamed that he was in a hearse on the way to the cemetery. A few days later, as he was about to enter the elevator of a cer- tain hotel, he was startled to find that the attendant was a. double of_ the driver of the hearse in his dream. He thereupou promptly left the elevator. and walked upstairs. The car ascend- ed without him, but as it neared the top something in the mechanism gave way, and the passengers met their death. “Had they also, one wonders, been forewarned In a dream?” First Aid. A “Now." said" the professor, *‘suppose you had been called to see a patient’ with bysterics—some one, for instance; ‘who had started laughing and found thing you would do?" ‘Amputate his funny bone,’ it impossible to stop—what Is the first |, Although it was plainly “stated that under:no circumstatices must it be surmized that:what: may appear editorial endorsement, ‘the ink scarcely-was dry on our first- refer- ence to. county- politics- before: a vigilant candidate bobbed serenely up and wanted to know why he was being: “knocked” and- the other fellow “boosted.” As a newspaper gets blamed for many things it ought not and isn’t blamed for a good many things it should, it evens up, and the need- lessly offended candidate in this case is-one of the eveners. Generally speaking there isn’t any- thing of a specially lurid character going. on in the couuty ' primary the county county-sheriff contests. In this line: things are popping, The first crack came in the form of letters addressed to the vo‘ers by: Chester McKusick, who is seeking to be re-elected- county attorney is opposed for - the republican nomi- nation by former county attorney Henry Funkley and G. W. Campbell, Mr. McKusick gingers things up by making bold charges against Sheriff Hazen, whom he accuses of haying clogged the wheels of his office at all times; citing specific in- stances of such alleged hostility. Mr. McKusick ‘also goes so far as to say that the sheriff is entirely too friendly with Mr. Funkley. Chester also touches up the sherifi’s. system of drawing jurymen. He explains his remarks. relative to the sheriff as being necessary be- cause, he says, the best of work can not be done in his office it the sheriff refuses to co-operate. Neither Mr. Funkley nor Sheriff Hazen has had an opportunity to reply to these charges, but Mr. Funkley is preparing a reply which will be circulated at once, provid- ing the presses on which it is be- ing printed don’t melt Sheriff Hazen will also put out a defense, contending that the business of the office of Sherift has never been carried on in any bet- ter shape than it has been since he has been in office. Meanwhile Andrew Johnson and A N. Benner, both seeking to get the nomination away from Mr. Hazen, sre flitting hither and thither. F.A W, Geotting Desperate. Bome of the office buildings in-the large cities are constructed apparently: with the idea that every possible square foot of space must be utilized for renting purposes. The corridors are narrow, the passageways to. the elevator shafts hard to find and the stairways located in obscure corners. There may be fire escapes, but they are equally obscure, and a stranger would not know where to look for them. ‘The occupants of'a room on the sev- enth floor of a bullding of: this: kind, devoted to thel uses of a fire and life Insurance companies' agent, were sur- prised one day'by the sudden entrance of a-wild: eyed|man: who secmed to be laboring under strong. excitement. “Say,” gasped the Intruder, “will some of ‘you fetows pleuse (hrow me out of this building!" “What for?" asked oue of the clerks. “I’ve been trylng for fifteen minutes to find & way out of it, aud I can't.” They did wot throw him out, “but plloted bim to the elévators; und he succeeded at last In waking his es- cape.—Exchunge. Nearly a School Scandal. What might have been a terrible sen- sation, calling for public investigation and much newspaperiéty; wus avérted by the visit of a shocked maumma. to one of our public primary schools. A friend of the mother was calling at the house and usked the little daughter, “How do you' like your teacher?” “Oh, my teacher is nice,” answered Tot, “‘but she is always-asking us'for a cigarette.” “What?’ cried the. ludy and the wamma in horrified tones, seeing con- tamination of the morals of Tot under of a-modern bachelor of ender. umma- She says, ‘Clgarette, clgarette” ” The ~:xt- day mummna visited the school. As she entered:the class room the teacher was- calling first to one ¢hild and then to another, “Sit erect, it erect!” while Tot flushed a glance of -futelligence und “Didn’t 1 tell you 507" at her mother.— Wisp.

Ll She was one of those very gushing, effusive ladles who occasionally infest newspaper offices,- and shé had-been admitted into the samctum of the.man- aging editor of the paper on which ‘Homer 'Davemport was cartoonist. re- cites the Saturday ‘Bvening Post. Mr. Davenport was in ‘the room at the time. When the time came for her de- parture-she first grasped the band of the mapaging editor, saying. “Goodby, Mr. Nlles, goodby!” . Then, turning to the assistant man- aging editor. she also shook him ef- fusively by the band. exclaiming, “Goodby. Mr. Bliss, goodby Davenport came next. There was no escape for bim. “Dear Mr, Daven- port. goodby? she cried with all the dellcate shading of a tragedy queen. There was silence for a moment aft- er she had gone. Then Davenport found his voice. *“Where Is she go- Ing?" be asked. “Up to Ninety-third street,” replied the assistant managing editor. “Suffering cats!" drawled Daven- port. “What should bave happened if she had been going to One Hundred and Twenty-fifth street?” She Handed It Back. A poted doctor believes in training children to reason for themselves, and this policy be carries out with his own child, a little girl of eight, and he tells a story in connection with her with great glee. “My dear,” he said to her, “I saw something today tbat I hope 1 shall never be pained to bear of you doing.” “What was that, papa?”’ the daugh- ter asked. #1 saw little Mary Goodgirl stick her tongue out at a man today.” The child, evidently thinking that it was an occasion to tell of the faults of the other girl, said: “Papa. | saw Mary”— The doctor interrupted and told the child she must not gossip and. it she knew anything that was not nice about anybody she must keep it.to herself. The child looked at ber father and then said quickly: “‘Well, papa. why did you tell me about Mary?" The physician was so surprised be could not answer.—Philadelphia Times. WOOD!

Bemidji Round Oak Stove s the stove to buy for heating and cooking purposes. An imitation stove will give imitation heat’ Avoid the cheaply constructed, putty jointed stove as you would counterfeit money, because it is just as worthless—and in many cases even more so. For not only does it radiate heat badly, but it wastes its original cost many times in fuel. The majority of manu- facturers, attracted by the phenomenal suec- - cess of The Round Oak Stoves have imitated and copied it ever since it was first put on the market. But in 'ooks only have they been able to reproduce this won- derful heater. For the features which make The Round Oak so: economical in fuel, so ef- fective in heating, so durable in construction, are all patented and protected. The joints of the ordinary stove are plastered with stove putty in an endeavor to make them air tight. When the putty dries up and falls out, cold air is sucked in through the cracks—and the valuable gasses from soft or hard coal, which should be burned, go up the chimney, along with most of the heat.
