Entered n the Postotfice )i, , a8 second SUBSCRIPTION---85.00 PER YFAR 'W DVANGE SERIOUSLY. It is to be hoped that Secretary of the Interior Ballinger’s decision to modify the orders relating to the regulation of the liquor traffic in the so called Indian district will bave the desired effect, and that a new era of peace between state and federal authorities will follow. While the position of some of the residents of Cass Lake created a situation which permitted of considerable levity, they stood for the principles of those inalienable rights guaran- t;;l by the federal constitution and demand respect. The mayor of Cass and Judge Ives, as a result of their prominence, have hadto face unfavorable comment and undesir- able notoriety, but their motives were good and their success now appears to have been complete. Already Cpss Lake has begun to nod. Wisconsin sure is having a spell of Winter. John Dietz is somewhat of a standpatter himself. Mayor Dumas should have his board paid for a year. The Long Prairie Leader doesn’t appear to be long on facts. Revolutionists of Portugal have proclaimed a republic and named Braga president, but he better not brag too much for a while. There are 365 violently insane persons in Minnesota institutions but it takes almost that many to design new fall hats for the women. According to the federal census Missouri has 600,000 mules, not including Senator Stone. Joseph W. Folk is coming to Minnesota to make speeches 1n behalf of the Democratic state ticket. Of course Joe's presiden- tia} boom has nothing to do with the case. The Staples Headlight says Sheriff Madden is a ‘‘monumental poltroon,” and he is, whatever that may be. The insurgents have carried Portugal. Can it be possible that Uncle Joe Cannon has been mak- ing speeches there? CONGRATULATIONS TO CASS LAKE. We bow to Cass Lake. Mayor Dumas and Judge Ives have done what the combined forces of a determined and desperate south could not do—they have put one over on your Uncle Sam of America. Stonewall Jackson, Johnson, Bragg, Beauregard and Lee did well at times but real triumph remained for the intrepid leaders of our noisy neighbor, backed to a man by the hose handling heroes of the now most famous fire department that ever squirted a stream. The fight has been won and not a man missing; not a shot was fired; not a bullet wasted; not a door banged. : Mayor Dumas should be met at the depot by the band and should ride in guarded honor on agilded hose cart through the streets crowd- ed with cheering citizens. Our felicitations are hereby ex- tended to the victorious mayor upon this momentous and happy occasion, marred only by sad thoughts of those merchants who sell arms and am- munition. JUDGE WRIGHT. Probably no single act of a repre- senative of the state could have done more to relieve the present undesir- able complications in the “restricted district” than did the action of Judge Wright when he sentenced to the state prison a violator of that law which prohibits the sale of liquer to a person of Indian blood. It has been customary in cases of this kind to eitber impose a fine or a prison sentence to be suspended during the good behavior of the prisoner. As a result, the sale of liquor to Indians has continued to a greater or less degree and this has been a source of irritation to the fed- eral authorities. As a jurist, Judge Wrightis en- titled to much favorable commsnt; as a judge who tempers justice with mercy he likewise could be com- mended but the good record he has made on the district bench contains nothing of a more praiseworthy na- ture than his sentence in this case for it probably was the first link in the chain of complete harmony which will join the state and federal authori- ties. Itis a striking evidence of the state’s desire to furnish substan- tial rid to the government in its | fight to aid this part of the country of the iniquities growing out of the liquor traffic with the Indians. WHAT IT MEANS. When the men representing the 800,000 residents of the 32 counties of northern Minnesota take posses- sion of Brainerd the first of next December, a history-making event will have been launched. The power generated at this great gathering ought to be sufficient to send the bills which are to embody the needs of this mighty northern domain through the legislature with- out serious opposition. First of all must come the reap- portionment measure, carrying to the people that proper representa- tation to which they are entitled. The only comment that can properly be made along this line is a renewal of the warning that insidious foes are at work and that friends of the north should be alert. There is no room for discussion as to the needs able manner. Good roads and an immigration bill, are to be drafted at the Brain. erd convention and they are to be handled by some of the most astute politicians as well as capable busi- ness men and brilhant attorneys to be found in the state. The importance of the Brainerd meeting can scarcely be overestima- ted as the workings of that body will be along the lines for the very things which most of the candidates for the next legistature are p.edged and it will, therefore, be a meeting where laws are to be formulated, inasmuch as their passage will be assured un- less disloyalty becomes rampant. It is for this reason that delegates should go to the meeting, fully in- formed and ready to give the proper aid in putting into concrete form the needs of northern Minnesota and to demand the rights to which this vast territory is entitled. Vain Regrets. A few more votes and a little ad- ditional work by his friends would have elected Andrew Johnson Sheriff of Beltrami County. It’s too bad they were not produced-——Rainy River Regin. Those Minneapolis Gatemen. Nowhere on the face of God’s footstool are there a more mean, unobliging lot of creatures than the gate keepers at the union station in Minneapolis. They plant themselves at the gate, open it about half way, and take their time about letting passengers through, who crowd and push each other to pass makiug a gathering where pickpockets can ply their trade. The comfort of the traveling public are as nothing to those who have charge of the out- going travelers, and they must go out at the particular gate that those impudent gatekeepers demand.— Anoka Union.

McKinnon has refus- ed to permit an exhibition in Crooks- ton of the Jeffries-Johnson: fight pictures, giving his reasons in an open letter to the management of the Bijou theater, which reads as follows: “Gentlemen:—In reply to the re- quest made by the advance agent of the Jefferies and Johnson pictare shows asking for permission to show m our city the pictures of the Jefferies-Johnson prize fight that took place at Reno, Nevada, July 4th, 1910, will say that, after care- fully considering the matter, for the sake of good government I can not grant the request, not for wbat the pictures may show in themselves, but our state laws are so closely woven around the question of prize fighting with the intention to banish from our land the practice of prize fighting for money, and in order to be on the right side of this question, and keép 'our fair city clean from such doings I have taken the above stand. “I fully believe that all men when young should be trained in such physical ways so as to be able to protect themselves and those in their charge with their owp hands, science and physical power.” The White of an Egg. The white of an egg is made up of little cells filled with albumen. By beating the white these cells are rup- tured and oxygen from the air is in- closed, which gives the white and light appearance to beaten eggs. The white of a stale egg will not inclose as much oxygen, will not be as light and as easily digested as that of the fresh egg and, of course, less valuable. The importance of beating the egg in cold. pure air is readily seen. Complete Lives. We should all strive to make our lives complete. Many people only half live. Health without usefulness, intel- lect without unselfishness, pleasure without duty—these are incomplete and unsatisfying elements of living. How They Do It. In a hotel in a certain city is the following notice: “Boarders are taken by the day. week or month. Those who do not pay promptly are taken by the neck.” —Lippincott’s. e —— A Luxury. “But.” objected the beiress, “1 have been accustomed to every luxury.” *“That’s all the more reason why you should marry me,” replied the impe- cunious suitor. “I'm a luxury myself." Courage. What one needs to cultivate is a tenacity of purpose that will not quail nor turo aside, a cournge that in emer- gencies dares to separate from the crowd. that never recognizes defeat. Laughter. Laughter is recomumended as a cure for indigestion. It looks easy to the person who is not atiicted with indi gestion. -''viedo Blade.
