The Irish have raised $150,000 for | the Parliamentary party. And there are times when the Irish raise some- thing beside money. Within a year’s time Bemidji bhas seen a new railroad go down; has| ordered her main business street paved, voted the erection of a new and modern jail and the remodeling of her city hail and has seen busi. ness blocks and iesidences go up in every direction. The population of the city has materially increased | and best of all homeseekers are com- | ing in to work the rich soil which pays handsome dividends to the man who gives it half a chance. Bemidji and Beltrami county are on the eve of an era of unprecedented pros-| perity. i Because bankers are now enabled to insure packages of money sent by mail, the express companies have largely been cut off by the banks from the handling of their shipment of funds, The use of dollar bills is also becoming more popular; first, because they are lighter and less ex- pensive to transport and because they are easily obtained. One com- ing from the east, even no farther than Chicago., notes the extensive use of silver here. That the paper money is more desirable and less cumbersome is proved by its exten- sive use in the cities and the increas- ing demand for it in this part of the country. P. S.—Silver, however, is still accepted in payment of subscriptions for the Pioneer. WARNING. Efforts under way in the south- ern part of the state to castre- flections upon the Northern Minn- esota Development association come, as the rattle of a snake, to warn those who believe that all parts of the commonwealth are entitled to a square deal. That there is an underhanded, but nevertleless determined, plan to block reapportionment -can no longer be doubted. Renewed efforts and eternal vigilance must be exercised if the hght is to be won. Of the charges emanating from Long Prairie we shall later hav: something to say. A REAL AIR LINE. From Chicago to Springfield is a long trip, even as the crow, or man, flies. To sit down in a thing that looks like an overgrown kite and stay there until you have skipped along through the clouds for 120 miles is an experience to which Mr. Brookins, so far as most folks are concerned, is welcome. True, a stop had to be made after a continuous flight of seventy-five miles, for more gasoline, but our ponderous passenger trains usually stop oftener than that tora tank of water or a feed of coal. When it gets so an aviator can rush through the air 75 miles at a stretch, it is getting pretty close to the time when man rightfully can announce his conquest of the air. The future contains wonderful things for flying machines. Also there will continue to be tragedies of which the death of Chavez, who crossed the Alps is a graphic re- minder. Still, while one’s life may be in danger when he assays these epoch making flights, $10,000 for a day’s work is worth taking a chance for, to say nothing of the benefit to science. AT LAST. Not on the spur of the moment when a year in the jungle had neces- sarily thrown him out of touch with events in this country, but after many weeks of study and ~investiga- tion did Theodore Roosevelt endorse, and endorse in unqualified terms, the present administration. Could anything be stronger, or more gratifying to the man who owes so much to the one who utters it, than the following from the former president delivered while chairman of the New York State convention: “We come here feeling that we have the right to appeal to the people from the standpoint alike of pational and state achievement. During the last eighteen months a long list of laws, embodying legisla- tion most heartily to be commended as combining wisdom with progress, has been enacted by congress and approved by President Taft, “The amendments to the inter- state commerce law; begining of a national legislative program for the exercise of the taxing power in con- nection with big corporations doing an interstate business; the appoint- ment of a commission to frame |country, or worse still, cease to put measures to do away with the evils of overcapitalization and improperand excessive issues of stocks and bonds; the law providing for publicity of | campaign expenses; the establish- ment of the maximum and minimum tariff provisions and the exceedingly able negotiations of the Canadian and other treaties in accordance therewith; the adoption of the policy of providing for a disinterested re- vision of tariff schedules through a high-class gommission of experts which will treat each schedule purely on its own merits with a view both to protecting the consumer from excessive prices and to securing for the American producer, and especially the American wage-worker, what will represent the difference of cost in production here as compared with the cost of production in coun- tries where labor is less liberally re- warded; the extension of the laws regulating safety appliances for the protection of labor; the creation of a bureau of mines—these and similar laws, backed up by executive action, reflect high credit upon all who suc- ceeded in putting them in their pres- ent form upon the statute books. "Thev representan earnest forecast of the achievement which is yet to come; and the beneficence and far- reaching importance of this work, done for the whole people, measures the credit which is rightly due to the congress and to our able, upright, — e l WHAT OTHER PAPERS SAY I and distinguished president, William Howard Taft.” Thus does Colonel Roosevelt si- lence the rumbling rumors of discord. and thus does he curb the radical element which seeks shelter under the republican banner to further, by noisy and unsound doctrines, its own ambitions to hold office. Jonah Came Out All Right. The whale that swallowed Jonah was the first on tecord to learn the truth that you can't keepa good man down.—Chopped Feed. Want to Sell Any Old Milk? Wanted—A Jersey cow giving milk not over 5 years old. Call 7074, new,—Boone, (lo.) Repub- lican. Lake Agassiz Now Prairie. The bottom of what was once Lake Agassiz, in the northwestern part of the state, an area of 500,. 000 acres of low prairie, is being re- claimed by the state through drain- age. Half of it is said to be sub-| ject to homestead entry and there’s no better land in the country any- where.—News Tribune. A Noble Thought. If Jim Gray, for hire, has been writing editorials for the Minneapolis Journal that he did not believe to be true and right he is not a safe man to place in the governor’s chair. The people want a man who is not working for the highest bidder, but | one who will do that which he be- lieves to be right.—Thief River Falls News. Not Married, But Divorced. Wanted—The people of Cedar!| Rapidis, Marion,and Linn county to know that my name is now Mrs. Van Meter. It never was Terens. I was just his housekeeper and I never was married to him and never lived with him as his wife, but my uncle Mr. Radabaugh, who suspected such a| state of affairs, got me a divorce though it was not necessary. ] want to make this plain as I am about to be married to Mr. Frank Dudley near Troy Mills, Iowa, and all per- sons are hereby notified that I am a free woman with a full right to marry whoever I please. Mrs. Anna C. Van Meter.—Cedar Rapids Gazette, State Should Aid Our Settlers, The chief requirement of noithern Minnesota now is settlers, but the prospective settler is at once con- fronted with the problem of r1oads, or the absence of roads. Without roads settlement is a slow process and in this slow procees farmers who go'upon the land often become dis- couraged and give up and leave the forth effort to succeed in farming. The call for settlers should be the work of the state and the!state should make it possible for the set- tler to develop his farm and live.— A. G. McGuire in Farm Stock and Home. Two Faults. “You hunt too much.’ said Louis XV. to the archbishop of Narbnne. “How can you prohibit your curates from hunting if you pass your life in setting them such an example?” “Sire,” said Dillon, “‘for my curates the chase is a fault; for myself it is the fault of my anceéstors.” Politeness. Politeness is a sort ot guard which covers the rough edges of our charicter and prevents them from wounding oth- ers. ‘We should never throw & off even in our conflicts with coarse peo- \pl Capacity Diminishing. Mrs. Guzzler—Aren't you ashamed to come home in this condition? Mr. Guzzler—Mortified to death. my dear. 1 find my capacity isn't what it used to be.—Philadelphia Record. . . Timely Hints. Greatest spring tonic, drives out all impurities. Makes the bood rich. Fills you with warm, fing- ling vitality. Most reliable sfiring physic. That's Hollister's Rocky Mountain Tea, the world’s regu- lator. In Tablet form also.| E. N. French & Co. i | e The Turkish Doctors’ Oath. In Turkey they have a Hippocrade oath, though they do not call it by that name. the magazine published by the Syrian Protestant college in Beirut. To each of the graduates in medicine the oath was administered by the Turkish head of the medical examining board. We cite a few of the pledges: “That when | am called at the same time by two different patients, the one rich and the other poor, I will accept the call of the poor without taking into consideration the money offered and will do my best for his treatment, and that 1 will never decline to an- swer any call, day or night. during the reign of common diseases or of an epidemic or of contagious diseases. “That 1 will not ask extra fees from the patients and will not act against my consclence by exaggerating their sickness in -order to get the calling fees. “That in case of a doubt as to the treatment of a patient 1 will not leave his life in danger through a failure to consult other doctors on account of my pride.” Modern Bookmaking. A large bindery may have a capacity of 10.000 books a day. The resources of some of these binderies are won derful. There is an instance on record where a publishing house took an or- der on Monday for a cloth covered 12mo volume of 350 pages and ac- tually shipped 2.000 copies of the book on the following Wednesday. The trpe was set by machinery for the entire pages bhefore work stopped ‘Monday night. Electrotype plates were made so rapidly that on Tuesday morn- ing several printing presses were set in motion In the meantime covers were made In the bindery, and by Wednesday morning the binders had the book in hand Two thousand vol- umes were completed that day, and the edition of 10000 was entirely out of the way before Saturday night. In modern bookbinding machinery. as in the production of printing presses, America leads the world.—Philadel- phia North American. Women Prisoners In Japan. The cells in every Japanese prison are practically sleeping dormitories, as the prisoners are engaged in the work sheds all day or attending lectures and lessons in educational subjects, de- portment and morality. The small Jap- anese woman prisoner is even taught | how to serve tea properly. because the Japanese have grasped the fundamen- tal truth that whatever raises a wom- an’s self respect helps to eliminate bad abits—in a word, to reform her. The keen zest of the prisoners in .Japan contrasts with the hopeless, hunted look of our women prisoners in Eng- land. In Japan the women prisoners are learning. learning, learning all the time. They are given prizes and deco- rative rewards for excellence. They are being encouraged instead of re- pressed. Everything is done to instill a real desire for permanent reform.— London Express. In Memoriam. A policeman was entertaining some friends to an afternoon tea, when one of them, with an inquisitive turn of mind. happened to see on a shelf a glass shade, underneath which was a brick, with some flowers upon it. The friend, thinking they were me- mentos of some heroic deeds or were perhaps of some historical Interest, asked the policeman why he kept that brick underneath the glass shade. “That brick." replied the son of the night, "is what I bad thrown at me at the last election.™ *And what about the flowers?” fur- ther in{]uired the friend. “Them flowers.” continued the po- liceman, with a smile that wouldn’t come off, “came off the grave of the man that threw the brick.”—Pearsoun’s. A Banquet For Horses. Banquets prepared exclusively for animals are not altogether unknown in England. The aged inmates of the Howe of Rest for Horses, Westcroft farm, Cricklewood. celebrate each New | Year’'s day with a sumptuous repast. The wenu for the last banquet con- sisted of lumps of sugar, chopped car- rots. apples, brown and white bread and biscuits. These were mised to- gether in a wooden box and placed out- side each stable door.—London Fam {ly Herald. Still In the Ring. “I hear your engagement with young Gotrox has been broken off.” said the first fair daughter of Eve. “Well, you are entitled to another hearing,” rejoined fair daughter No. 2 as she held up a graceful hand on which a solitaire sparkled. *‘You can see for yourself that I am still in the ring.” Hard Luck. Chief—Tell me, sir.'why you have so utterly failed to get a clew to this crime. Detective—'Tain't my fault. The reporters are down on me, an’ they won’t tell me nothing!—Cleveland Leader. His Exact Weight. Angler (who is telling his big fish story)—What weight was he? Well, they hadn’t right weights at the inn, but he weighed exactly a flatiron, two eggs and a bit of soap.—Punch. Art Today. “She is being fitted for the stage.” “Studying hard, I presume?’ “Oh, no; just_being fitted with the Decessary gowns.”—Louisville Courier- Journal. Cruelty and fear shake hands to- gether.—Balzac, It is given in Al-Kulliyeh, . Where the Responsibility Belongs Our principal work is the filling of prescrip- tions. When a doctor gives a prescription he places his own reputation and the welfare of his patient in the hands of the druggist. Our responsibility is great. We know our respon- sibility, and thoroughly understand our busi- ness. Atall times we are fully capable of knowing the seriousness of our calling. A good druggist fills every prescription as though his own life and health depended onit. In asking you to bring your prescriptions to us we do so with conscientious confidence.
