Welcome to our city, oh noble red man of the north, and any store in town will cash your check. The democrats are having a hard time trying to make Gray a popular color. There isn’t enough life to it. Peaceable citizens will join in the hope that the battle of ballots one week from tomorrow will take place without a gun being fired. JUST PUNISHMENT. This is from the editorial columns of the Cass Lake Times: “Prisoner—Up for drunkerness. “I was in Bemidji. “Judge—Ninety days.” Serves the sucker right. Anyone who will go to Cass Lake after hav- ing been in Bemidii ought to be given ninety days. CHEW RIGHT AND BE HAPPY. Here is something of real interest. Itis a guarantee that, if certain simple rules are followed, our chil- dren will be saved to lives of right- eousness, our health will be improved, our knowledge extended and a dent made in our grocery bill. Chew properly. That is the one thing which, above all others, is needed to make our existence here what it should be, according to Dr. Horace Fletcher, the famous exponent of ‘“Fletcher- ism,” The doctor has figured it out that chewing thoroughly to extract all the taste out of food before it is swallowed, when combined witha feeling of tranquility, leads to good health by the pathway of digestion. Good digestion leads to good health which means facilities for learning the good things in lite and ‘enjoying them. And with the bringing to them of the facilities for learning these good things 98 to 99 per cent of the children l;om under unfavorable environment may be saved to lives of righteousness. It is all so easy that folks just won’t believe it. Here are the doctor’s own words on the subject: “It is so darned simple that it is ridiculous. That is the reason that notone in 125 pay any attention to what I say. Just the same there are so many people in the world that are faithful to Fletcherism that at least a half million dollars a day are saved to the domestic treasuries of the world by the simple process of extracting all the taste out of food while it is in the mouth,” Dr. Fletcher’s rules and regulations for successful use on the highway to happiness follow: ‘““Ask grace before meals. It is a beneficial physiological process and aids digestion by producing tran- quility. “Have always an earned appetite before eating. Symptoms of real hun- ger are never felt below the guillotine line, and when you'want to whinny like a horse at the smell of food you are hungry. “Hold your food in your mouth, face down, so that your tongue hangs perpendicularly in the mouth. “Chew your food until all the taste is out of it and it crawls up the cen- ter of your tongue. It will be in- voluntarily swallowed, and with that process your responsibility ends.” In this manner Mr. Fletcher de- clared that after a fast of seventeen days be satisfied his hunger with three-fourths of one ounce of baked beans so. that he was not hungry again for twelve hours.

If Dan accepts this meekly we hope he’ll be expelled from the Hibernians.— Larry Ho in St. Paul Dispatch. But Haven't Used Language That Had to Be Retracted. In reply to Larry Ho’s bit of face- tiousness the Bemidji Pioneer employ- ed the language of a thug. We would suggest the Pioneer give its sense of humor a hunch, if it hasany if not grow some.—Cass Lake Times. Canada Solves Indian Problem. Since the recent ruling of Sec’y Ballinger, liquor is being shipped 'to all stations in the “‘closed territory.” The contradictory statements. of Pussyfoot Johnson are beginning to look Teal contradictory, but he keeps on saying that something will hap- pen soon. Laying all jokes aside, if the Government really wantsto regulate the liquor question with re- gard to the Indians they can easily do so without working injustice to the white population which is try- ing to build up the country. Can- ada has regulated their Indian liquor problem very nicely for thirty years and their methods are not kept secret by any means.—Pine River Sentinel. ‘Wail No. 673 From Cass Lake. If Pussyfoot Johnson is correctly quoted he has envolved a monstrous scheme that will close every drinking shop in the state, north of St. Paul and depopulate a large portion of the northern counties. He seems to have a special spleen against Cass Lake, but Cass Lake, il he can make his visionary scheme work, will be the first town in the afflicted region to say so ahead old fellow, we are al- ways satisfied when we are treated as well as those around us. If the Interior department deems it a duty to close up the saloons in Minnesota and makes the closing cover all the territory that has been claimed as Indian territory, not a town in all the region will make the closing more effective or make less complaint : than the little town that began the fight for our rights. But Ballinger, not Johnson is at the head of the affairs and we have the best of reasons to expect that decency, not revenge will govern the situation.— Cass Lake Times. COMMUNICATIONS. Letters to the editor of not more than 200 words on topics of interest are solicited. The names of the writers must be signed, but not necessarily for publication. To the Pioneer. Allow me to make a short state- ment with reference to the socalled fight between Anton R. Erickson and myself as contained in your is- sue of last Thursday. Iam not a seeker of notoriety, |’ and for that reason I refused to be interviewed by any newspaper re- porter, but as the matter has gone into at some length by the Pioneer, I wish to make a short statement: of the affair. I have lived in Bemidji over 10 years and never had a fist fight or quarrel with anybody. I may differ with some people in opinion on the questions of the day, but when my|= intellect fails to convince an oppon- ent I refuse to make use of the fist and “dope.” I am not trained along those lines. During the last6 years I have been interested in Bel- trami county political history; I have at times been'a loser and at other times a winner. Anyone who enters politics must be prepared for both. Iam now out of politics and I am glad of it, but prefering for a good many reasons to live in Bemidji, I have taken hold of land, loan and insurance business and was at first located in the Sentinel Bldg. Owing to the crowded conditions there I looked for another office room, and prefering a ground floor office, I suc- ceeded in renting part of the front room of T. Thompson’s Tailoring Establishment at 205 Beltrami Ave. where I have been doing business since the 7th of October. During these 10 years I have seen hard struggle, happy days and sad days indeed, but I feel stronger to- One Night only 94 Monday; Oct 3] . Armory Opera House '’ Prices, $1.50, $1.00,-75¢, 50¢ ' - AMERICAN day, physically as well as mentally and I am not discouraged. I know of no reason why I should not face the future more courageously than ever before I like Bemidji, and I am going to remain here if possible, but to the story. Last Tuesday at-5:30 p. m I was through with my work at the desk, and before going to supper I stepped into the tailor shop for a chat with the boys. Mr. Thompson, the pro- prietor,-invited me to go with him up to his house for supper and advised me to meet him at the shop at 6:15, and we would walk up together. I made my appearance at 6:15 as stated and greeted those present with a: “Good evening, Gentlemen.” Mr. Erickson was sitting on the table next to the door. He was talk- ing with- Mr. Thompson. As I entered the room Mr. Erick- son stuck a folded paper up to my nose and said: “Wh-what d-do you think o-of this?” I took the paper, unfolded it and seeing it was a copy of the Pioneer I said “This is the Pioneer.” “We-e-ell, but wh what do you think o-of that?” pointing to an article containing the information of the selection of Bemidji Postoffice as a postal savings bank, to which I answered: ‘Oh yes, Iread that drticle, but I have not given it much thought, I have been busy lately soliciting business, but 1 guess it’s all right.” d I walked to the rear of the room, picked up a copy of the Mpls. Journal and looked over the news, while waiting for Mr. Thompson. Mr. FErickson got up from his seat and walking toward me a couple of steps he says: ‘Sha-a-all I have to ta-a-ke you down again?” Thinking the man was joking I looked up from the paper and said smiling “When did you do it the first time, Anton?” Nothing more was said. There was no dispute or hot words as stated by the Pioneer. I claim to have a little more sense than to dispute or pick a quarrel I continued with a drunken man. reading the Journal. Mr. Erickson I hereby announce myself as trami County to be voted on at November, 8th.1910. walks past mie dnd turning around hits me ovet the fiead with his fist. I dropped the baper and got on my feet, when he gtabbed hold of me with one arm and.gets ready with the other to ‘hit me again. I tried to get.loose, but I.couldn’t and I hit him- over- the -arm-with my cane to induce him to give up his bold of my arm, while I all the time pulled for the daor to get out. Mr. Thompson-steps-in-and grabs Mr. Erickson, but the last mentioned individual- keeps-up the fight - by hitting me over Thompson’s shoulders and I could do nothing but defend myself and applied the cane. Finally induced to do so by Mr. Thompsot he gave up his hold on me and [ walked over to the table, while Mr. Erickson seated himself in a chair, and I gave him a short and pointed lecture on his bebavior. He then walked over to Mr. Thompson and asked him what to do, and Mr. Thompson - advised him to leave the premises and he went out. This is the full story as it took place. No one regrets the incident more than I do, and if this had been the first and only attack from the same person, I should be willing to forgive and forget, but intending to live here as I do I had to take steps to pre- vent any furthér repetition of such conduct, hence the warrant.

Long before the white men saw that section of Pennsylvania bea- vers built'a huge dam in a well set valley. Year by year the stream wash- ed rich mud into the dam. and when the body of water was destroyed 40 acres of land flat as a table top were left. On this stands Dubois.—Altoona Tribune. High Notes.
