These are little slips of paper which make the printer happy because he is paid for turning them out. The mission of their short, and usually useless life, is to delay the election returns on the night of ex- citement.

" DRIVEN ON REEF ‘French Transatlantic Liner Goes Ashore, - PASSENGERS ARE SAFE About ‘Half of the:547 on:Board Are Taken Off and the Others Are Not Result of the West Indian Hurricane. Key West, Fla, -Oct. 21.—The French transatlantic steamer Louis- iana, from Havre -for -Havana and New Orleans, is ashore on Sombrero reef |about ‘fifty miles ‘east of ‘here. About half of her 547 passengers have been brought here and the others are thought to be not in danger. News of the Louisiana’s plight and the rescued passengers were brought here' by the United States revenue cutter Forward. The. cutter will re- turn to take the rest-of the passengers -from: the wreck. The steamer lies only eight: feet out of water and it will be impossible to float her until her cargo has been Jettisoned The . French liner sailed for this country with a general cargo and 547 passengers. When within fifty miles of Havana on Monday and in the path of the hurricane the captain lost con- trol of his ship, which at 5 o’clock Wednesday afternoon was driven hard upon Sombrero reef, The cutter found that those on|! board were not suffering and, after | taking on as many of the passengers | as” the cutter could accommodate, sailed for- Key West.

Thanks to something the members the Wellman expedition which start- ed to cross the Atlantic in a dirigible balloon have been saved from a watery grave. Starting from Alantic City last Saturday afternoon the balloon was sighted off the Nan- tucket lightship Sunday. Yesterday morning the wrecked America was seen 175 miles off the North Carolina coast by a British ship, which picked up the airmen and the cat which was taken along as:a mascot. We can fully understand why Wellman and his campanions em- barked on a voyage which for fool- hardiness ‘exceeds anything in the history of recklessness, but what gets us is how a perfectly sane cat ever consented to go.—Chicago Tribune.

A wise and just law compels their attendance and society not only owes it to them that every precaution for comfort and safety be provided, but the theorist might go a step farther and say that the bigness of the nation depends upon the sanitation of the school room. If it graduates inva- lids, a robust republic can not long endure. The action of the Bemidji board of education in abolishing the germ- laden public drinking cup to be replaced by sanitary fountains, was a step in the right direction. There is much yet to be done. Those who have taken up the work. should be encouraged and whether or not:they are, they should continue theirjlabor, for the merry laughter of healthy children is a prize well worth striv- ing for. While instructors in our schools are doing good work in a personal inspection of each pupil in prevent- ing the spread of infection, the fact remains that there is many a scholar attending school whose. health is de- fective. A medical examination of the ears, eyes and teeth is directly in line with the pure water thought and the sooner it becomes possible to provide such a precaution the soouner adults will be paying more of the debt they owe their children. S PERTINENT. At a meeting of newspapermen in Chicago a few days ago, ‘John E. W. Wayman, prosecuting attorney' of Cook county, who by ‘his bold ‘de- termination to uphold the majesty of the law at all hagzards has-wona national reputation, - pounded home some telling points on journalism. Some ‘of the things he said are especially pertinent in ‘Bemidji ‘at the present time. We reprint a‘'few of them not only because they ‘come i from ‘so-high a| source, but - because - we ‘believe in the fundamental principle which in- spires'tbem: “Every political grafter “would and scandal should not be- in the newspapers, - “The honest newspaper:does more : T published Oh, Very Well. 153 | M .
