SUBSCRIPTION-~-$5.00 PER YFAR ¥ sDVANGE What progress does Speaker Can- non expect to make when even poor, old Bat Nelson couldn’t stand pat? We insist that Beltrami is in the banana belt, but it'might be as well to cover the roses in the front yard tonight, Mr. Johnson doesn’t object to be- ing called “Pussyfoot” but that doesn’t mean that he will stand for every thing. Minneapolis 1s referred to as a “dry” town by the New York Tri- bune. Minneapolis is about as “dry’’ as Saturday night in Puposky. < : A sarcastic'individual remarks that the things “Pussyfoot” does would drive any man to drink. It will be a long drive—not yet, but soon. Major General Wood reports that the army is woefully shy on artillery, up-to-date guns and ammunition. Aside from chat, the army is all right. James J. Gallagher, who shot Mayor Gaynor, has been indicted four times—an indictment for every shot, which ought to last Mr. Gal- lagher for some years to come. Kicking a two pound ball against the wall one hundred times is the latest in the way of exercise. Still the old fashioned stunt of mas- saging a cord of wood before break- fast with a bucksaw has its advan- tages. Mr. Fairbanks, of cock tail fame, and who once was vice ' president of the United States, says'great oppor- tunities will present themselves to the Republicans in 1912, ‘What the Republicans will need most in 1912 is votes. WHY NOT AN ATHLETIC CLUB? With the exception of the gym- nasium in the high school building, Bemidji is without a place where athletics can be carried on. It has been suggested that the young ‘men of the city organize a club, secure the use of the Armory, or rent a building and refit it, for the purpose of playing hand ball, indosr base ball and other forms of atheletic amusement. Such a club would bring about much’ healthful indoor exercise during the winter months. In the larger towns, Young Mens’ Christian associations supply the opportunity for such diversions. In Bemidji for the present, at least, it isup to those most “interested to form an organization of their own. SAFETY IS THE BEST POLICY. Mayor Parker’s warning to the city council last night to go slow on the expenditure of the city’s funds surely was sound advice. If Bemidji is to lose $15,000 a year in revenue from the liquor li- cense fund, it is going to cause some tall scheming to meet all expenses during the coming year, especially so inasmuch as the tax levy has been made up. A thread of hope is held out by City Attorney Torrance that court decisions may place Bemidji outside the grasp of the troublesome Indian treaty, and that in time the saloons will again do business here. At best it would mean months of litigation and so it seems particularly credit- able that the council has -seen fit to be exceedingly cautious in the ex- penditure of money. With the saloons out of -existance for a year the council may find ways of overcoming the Jiquor licence loss, but the hole made now, after the saloon fees had been planned, on, leaves a gaping wound in Bemidji’s finances which requires expert atten- tion to remedy. : THE COMMISSION PLAN. Alderman Roe’s - announced effort to secure-a better city gov- ernment for Bemidji is all the more - commendable - and : note- worthy because -it' comes from a man who, because of his close con- nection with the affairs of the city; is cognizant with the defects 'dnd evils arising {rom our present sys- tem* It probably would be hard! to find anyone; who knows anything atall about it, who would admit S nFFFPTI\IF that the present charter is all that could be desired, and some of those who know most about it, say it is ‘‘a sight to behold.” . The commission _plan of city government has in certain cities been ‘so sucessful as ‘to prove a national sensation. First tried by Galveston after her great floog, the plan worked well, but by no means reached it highest state of perfection. DesMoines, Iowa, took the idea up, voted for the commission form and ever since has been looked upon by cities in every part of tte union as a model for-city govern- ment. Not only has the actual cost of running the city been materially reduced, but more has been accomplished with the money spent, Better men have been secured as servants of the city, enlarged public improvements have been made, a precedent established in, handling the police force of a large town and the social evil reduced to a2 minimum by abolishing the segregated district. Whether Bemidji could profit by making a change to the com- mission plan is a question to be settled by intelligent investigation, Other small cities have it in opera- tion, including such townsas Dell Rapids, Vermiilion, Rapid City, Huron, Pierre, Sioux Falls and Yankton, all in South-Dakota and, with possibly three exceptioas none with a 'larger population than has Bemidji. ‘ WHAT OTHER PAPERS SAY | One of the Benefits. i Anyway the enforcement of:the Indian treaty may get'the liquor out of the country far enough so that a certain editor from a dry town down the line may not inflict his “druaken presence on the ladies of Cass 'Lake in the near future.—Kolls Kollum Cass Lake Times.

Praises Dyer's “Mother Day":Idea. W. P. Dyer, superintendent of the Bemidji public schools, has institut- ed a “Mothers’ day” —an occasion dedicated to the mothers of boys and girls who-are attending the schools in that progressive and enterprising city. The day was observed tor the first time on Wednesday. -| pieces;as~the ghastly evidences of a Editor || Superintendent Dyer is moving in the right direction. He is interesting the mothers in the school ard the work that is being done therein. This means that the mothers and the teachers will cooperate and labor for the common good ‘of the ' boys ‘and girls.

Denver, Nov. 29.—The police, of Denver and thie' sheriff of Adams county are searching for three Ital- ians believed to know something, of, the brutal murder of a 'wonian ‘whose body was found in a ravine near Globe- ville. The woman had been bound and gagged and her head almost severed with a knife. The Denver police believe the wo- man was Mrs. Dorinto Labata Cellanto of Denver and that ‘the crime was ‘the result of a feud which for weeks has shaken Denver’s Italian quarter. When a cold becomes' settled in the system, it will take several ‘days’ treatment to cure'it, and the best remedy to use is Chamber- lain’s Cough Remedy.
