Game Warden Bailey not only gets game law violators but their hides as well. In New York a fight is on against the public drinking cup. There is a fight on here for it. Another good reason why you should do your Christmas shopping early is because it should be done #arly. Natural phenomena were to blame for the eclipse of the moon but the revenue officers were to blame for the eclipse of the “‘moonshiners.” Eastern brewers are running full Page advertisements to tell the people that beer is a food. If this is true we have reason to fear that nota few of our citizens will go hungry before the winter is over. Just as soon as W. R. Mackenzie gets a fair and just reapportionment, good roads constructed, Northern Minnesota settled, clearted and cul- tivated and so many homeseekers headed this way that it will flatten the wheels of the trains, he is going to take a couple of hours off to be- come acquainted with his family. LIQUOR DEALERS HAVE A RIGHT TO KNOW. The visit of W. E. Johnson to Be- midji at the present time is opport- une. He can and should clarify the atmosphere. Since the recent order forbidding the shipment of liquor, which Mr. Johnson is causing to be enforced, has gone into effect, the liquor men have been at a loss to know just what are their rights and liberties. Those men who hold li censes to sell alcoholic beverages have a right to demand that the government clearly outline its pro- posed policy and to clear away for all time the suspense and consequent depreciation of property] as a resu {senate has been of the continued air of mystery maintained by the government. A SENATOR WITH A BLUE PENCIL. Governor Carroll did something when he appointed Lafayette Young to succeed in the United States senate Jonathan P. Dolliver of precious memory. Lafe Young of The DesMoines Capital in an editor of many years’ standing, and he will go to Wash- ington equipped with plenty of blue pencils, a thing the United States in need of for some several years past. The DesMoines man is the first real editor to occupy a seat in the senate for many vears. LaFollette hasa paper of his own but it could hardly be regarded as a newspaper. It is certainly a great chance for an editor. Just think of the marks { be could have made on the Payne- Aldrich tariff bill if he had been a member of the senate at the time that document of doubtful reputa- tion occupied the attention of the august bald headed multi-millionaires who are so willing to serve country that they actually pay legislatures for the privilege. Senator Young, by reason of his training, ought to make the copy prepared by the senate for the Con- gressional Record more interesting for the Dear People and, incident- ally, this voluminous publication a treasure to which the same D. P. can point to with a greater degree of pride than has always been the| case in the past. It is certainly a great opportunity for a real editor with a blue pencil in his fist. GOOD WORDS ON A BAD NAVY. There is more than a grain of truth in what the distinguishd builder of sentences on tbe Minne- apolis Tribune hasto say in a hot shot editorial flying the banner of “Blush for the American Navy.” The forward gun explodes in the following no:sy fashion: : “If the American be not wishful that the earth would swallow it, blushing is a lost art. It poses as the most scientific of the govern- ment departments, it is charged with thousands of lives trained to stand between the nation and peril from the sea.” None can deny this and so far so good. The Tribune’s bombardment continues: “It (meaning the navy) should have the sum of human knowledge in every bureau from medicine to ordnance. It boasts of supreme efficiency in organizing kunowledge for use and in distilling thought in- to action, yet in the educational center of the American navy, the focus of its scientific knowledge, the training school of its superior ser- vants, typhoid has broken out as if it were an ill kept camp - of militia plowboys. ““This would have been disgustful enough before the Asiatic war proved that typhoid fever can be kept out of a great army in the field as com- pletely as smallpox. In our own little toy war the navy pointed the finger of scorn at the army for wast- ing the foolish young enthusiasm of the nation in rotten camps. ‘We do not know how much truth there is in the return gibe that salt sea air and water work for the medical de- partment of the navy and that it would be worse than for the army on land. *‘Both are bad enough but we re- call no outbreak of typhoid fever at West Point. The authorities quaintly say that they don’t know what is the matter, but that there need be no fear of an epidemic. ~ Somebody should be invited to report what is the matter or hand in his resignation within 24 hours.” Whether the report is made or the resignation handed in, the fact re- mains that the navy might at- least bumor The Tribune to the extent of blushing. I WHAT OTHER PAPERS SAY [ Impossible! h Itis said that a lot of beer held up at Bemidji must be shipped back to. St. Paul. Well, there is no rea- son to believe that it will over- ] stock the local market.—St. Paul Pioneer Press. It Would Mean Fewer Hunters. Thin ice will claim its victim along with the reckless deer hunter who mistakes his man for a jack rabbit or a red squirrel within the next few days. A certificate of good horse sense should be required with every hunter’s license issued.— Brainerd Dispatch. To Hell Via Bagley. What is the License money to be used for? The statutes provide that the money may be used by the coun- cil to improve roads and streets, but the only road we can see that is be- ing improved by it here is the road to Hell for the drunkard.—Bagley Clearwater Crystal. Didn't Really Stop the Paper. The sheriff up at Bemidji stopped the Pioneer—that is, he didn’t ex- actly stop it as the paper continues to appear every week day at 10 cents| a week, but he cancelled his subcrip- tion and now will be obliged to de- pend upon his neighbors, in order to see what the paper has to say about him.—Stilllwater Gazette. Citizens Up in Arms, Citizens all over the affected terri- tory are up in arms in this outrage perpetrated in the name of the Unit- ed States by the interior department and many prominent prohibitonists!| state that the order will do more harm to the temporance cause than can be regained in the next ten years. The old saying that “you can lead a horse to water, but you cannot make | him drink,” will apply very aptly in this case. As long as the stuff is manufactured, it will find purchasers and if those who crave it cannot ob- tain it in their own community they will go elsewhere thereby bgnefitinz a city or village in which they have no’ interests, financially or other- wise. The order will also financially wreck many who have their all in- vested in the retail liquor business. A business worth about $10,000 last week, is not at the present time, sal- able at $2,000.—Grand Rapids Her- ald Review. bt A Straight Ti “You can’t see my husband..

FAIR EXGHANGE A New Back for an 0ld One—How it Is Done in Bemidji. The back aches at time with a dull, indescriable feeling, making you weary and restless; piercing pains shoot accross the region ‘of the kindeys, and again the loins are so lame to stoop in agony. No use to rub or apply a plaster to the back in this condition. You can not reach the cause. Exchange the bad back for a new and stronger one. Follow the example of this Be- midiji citizen. Samuel * Collard, 1024 America Ave., Bemidji, Minn., says: “I will- ingly confirm all I have previously said in a public statement, regarding Doan’s Kidney Pills. Thisremedy] never fails to relieve me when I take it. For months I suffered from severe pains in the small of my back and my limbs and joints were stiff and sore. At times [ was un- able to work and there was always a feeling of languor in evidence. I tried medicine of various kinds, but did not get relief until I took Doan’s Kidney Pills. The good work they did firmly convinced me of their merits,” For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, New York, sole agents for the United States.

Tobias Smollett wrote his “Humphrey Clinker” in 1771, the last year of his life, giving therein a spirited account of the society and customs then pre- vailing in London town. He esxposed the iniquities practiced by the purvey- ors of provisions at that time. Oysters were “bloated” and “floated" then as now; veal was whitened by repeated bleedings of the live animal; greens were boiled with brass half pence to improve the color: the wine in com- mon use was a “pernicious sophistica- tion, balderdashed with ecider. corn spirit and the juice of sloes,” and oth- er revelations not suited to repetition in this polite age indicated that al- most every article of diet was prof- itably “treated" before it reached the ultimate consumer. That *‘bleached” flour is no new commodity was also shown, while Smollett’s added com- ment furnishes excellent food for re- flection: . “The bread I eat in London is a deleterious paste, mixed up with chalk, alum and bone ashes, insipid to the taste and destructive to .the constitu- The good people are mnot ig- norant of thix adulteration, but they prefer it to wholesome bread because it is whiter than the meal of corn.”— Washington Post. Fires and Insurance. The agent of a well known insur- ance company stood on the fringe of the crowd watching the firemen retir- ing frow the scene of a small blaze in an uptown Hathouse. “I'll do business tomorrow morn- ing.” said he grimly, “and most of it will be with women who have ‘forgot- ten' their insurance has run out. There’s fcthing like a blaze on the block to set thoughts in the direction of insurance. Last week a woman was waiting for me when I opened my ofiice. Iler husband bad given her moeney to take out insurance weeks before, and sbe had spent it for a new hat.

She paid the premium in small change, which I belie bank, rather to her hu she took from a child’s confess her neglect ew York World, The Poor. We all love rhe poor. It would be entirely unnecessary, if not positively caddish. to say that we hate the poor. But there are two kinds of poor—the individual poor and the collective poor. It is not the individual poor that we love: it is the collective poor. It is not the poor that we know and see, but the poor that we do not know and have neither time nor inclination to look at. We are afraid if we see them we shall cease to love them. We never say. “God bless the iceman, or the coal heaver. or the motorman.” For them we find our execrations for not contributing to‘our comfort just'so and so and so. It is with great fervor, however, that we can say. “(GGod bless the poor,” be- cause the poor do not interfere with our comfort to the slightest degree.— Life. Fielding at Lisbcn. Lisbon contains the grave of Henry Fielding. It was on Oct. 4, 1754, that Fielding died in the Portuguese cap- ital, and it was in 1830 that his tomb was erected in the English cemetery. And Fielding didn't like Lisbon. *“As the houses, convents, churches, etc., are large,” he wrote, “and all built with white stone, they look beautiful at a distance, but as you approach nearer and find them to want every kind of ornament all idea of beauty vanishes at once.” At that time a voyage to Lisbon was an undertaking not lightly to be contemplated. It took Fielding exactly fifty days of foul weather.—St. James’ Gazette. “Do as Rome Does.” The saying “Do as Rome does” originated with St. Ambrose in the fourth century. It arose from a di versity of the observance of Saturday. The Milanese made it a feast, the Ro- mans a fast. St. Ambrose, being ask- ed what should be done in such a case, replied: “In matters of little con- sequence it iy better to be guided by the general usage. When I am at Milan 1 do not fast on Saturday, but when I am at Rome I do as they do in Rome.” Shot at Shakespeare. “Shakespeare was a smart man,” said Si Simlin, “but there was times when he didn’t bit it right.” “For instance?” “That remark about ‘rather bear the ills we have than fly to others that we know not of’ If that was the case there wouldn't be no hoss trades.”— Washington Star.
