[ ESTIMATES 0 T0 GONGRESS Total of $7{8414861 Asked to Run Government, FORCANALFORTIFICATIONS Seven Millions Wanted for Immediate Use, but the Total Cost Will Be in the Neighborhood of Twenty Mil- lions—Aggregate Appropriations Re- quested for Isthmian Service Exceed Fifty-six Millions. ‘Washington, Dec. 7.—The estimates of appropriations required for every ®ranch of the federal government dur- ing the fiscal year ending June 30, 1912, aggregating $748,414,861, were submitted to congress by Secretary of the Treasury MacVeagh. This grand total stands against estimates of $745,- 067,197 and appropriations of $805,294,- 313 for the current fiscal year, which appropriation included over $10,000,000 for the census, over $10,600,000 for the postal and other deficiencies. A lump appropriation of $1,000,000 is asked to enable the secretary of the navy to establish at such places as he may deem suitable depots for coal and other fuel for the supply of warships. There is a $100,000 increase for the Alaska-Canada boundary work and $87,000 for enforcement of the insecti- cide act. There are many items of ap- propriations needed for public works of various kinds, aggregating $28,845, 399 civil and $94,419,959 under the war department. For the defense of the isthmian ca- wnal the estimates ask $7,000,000, to be immediately available, and ask author- ity for $19,546,843 in all for this forti- fcation project, with a view to com- pletion within three years. This work will include sites, emplacement guns, oarriages, searchlights, camps and posts. The total appropriations asked for the isthmian canal service reach $66,928,847. The total rivers and harbors esti- mates for the work during the next fiscal year aggregate $22,627,361, against $41,339,113 appropriated for the same purposes during the current fiscal year. LITTLE HOPE OF ENACTMENT Measures Recommended to Congress by the President. Washington, Dec. 7.—Congress gave respectful attention to President Taft’s message, but there were comparative- 1y few members who were willing to concede the probability of favorable action at the present session on many of the recommendations contained therein. The general opinion was that time would not permit of action in view of the fact that the session will close March 4. Prior to the cabinet meeting Presi- dent Taft devoted an hour to seeing congressional callers. Probably his most interesting vis- itor was Representative-elect Caleb Powers of Kentucky, who was con- victed three times of complicity in the Goebel murder case. Mr. Powers was introduced to the president by Senator Bradley, who declared that the new member of congress had been vindicated by the heaviest vote ever ziven a congressman in his district. President Taft will devote most of the remainder of this week to con- ferences with senators. representa- tives and. men of prominence regard- * HELPFUL WORDS From a Bemidji Citizen Is your back lame and painful?

MAKES MANY NOMINATIONS President ‘Sends Large Number of Ap- pointments to Senate. Washington, Dec. 7.—Among several hundred nominations sent to the sen- ate by the president were those of John W. Garrett of Maryland to be United States minister to Venezuela and Charles S. Wilson of Maine to be secretary of embassy at Rome, Italy. The nomination of Frederick W. Lehmann of Missouri to he solicitor general also was sent in. Other nominations are John O. Ames, collector of customs of the dis- trict of Chicago; Julius S. Starr, sur- veyor of customs for Peoria, Ill.; E. H. Randolph, United States attorney, Western district of Louisiana; Alex- ander Dunnett, United States attorney for Vermont, and Jesse W. Bonner, auditor for Porto Rico. Many of the nominations were to cover recess appointments already an- nounced. Vessel Given Up for Lost. St. Johns, N. F., Dec. 7.—Hope has been abandoned for the safety of the little Danish schooner Hamlet, with her crew of five. She has been miss- ing a month on a voyage taking or- dinarily three days. She was bound from this port for Lamaline to load fish for a Spanish port. Big Deal in Timber Land. Red Bluff, Cal, Dec. 7.—Practically all the timber lands lying in the coast ranges of Glenn and Tehama counties have been purchased by a Chicago syndicate. The area sold is 103,000 acres and the price is said to be over $2,000,000. TOSTUDY POLITICALECONOMY Woman Suffrage Leader Will Wisconsin University. Philadelphia, Dec. 7.—After being in the forefront of the woman’s suf- frage movement in the East for thirty- three years Mrs. Rachel Foster Avery of Swarthmore, president of the Penn- sylvania Woman’s Suffrage associa- tion, friend and associate of Susan B. Anthony, will retire from active serv- ice in the “votes for women” cause for the next two years to pursue a course in political economy in the University of Wisconsin. She will leave for the West in June, This means, however, that she is simply preparing for a re- newal of the fight. MANY RAIL RATES MUST BE REDUCED St. Paul Experts Going Over New Federal Law. Enter St. Paul, Dec. 7.—Rate clerks of all the lines entering St. Paul are meet- ing in the Union depot, poring over the St. Paul rate sheet, to ascertain where it conflicts with the provisions of the new federal railway law. The session will continue through the week, but it is doubtful if at the end of that time the rate experts will be able to line up their work. Not only are there some legal points involved, but much labor. Although the inter- state commerce commission has given the roads until Feb. 17 to conform with the most important sections of the new act it is doubtful if the rate sheet will be revised until some time next summer. Many changes must be made in the St. Paul passenger rate sheet to con- form with the new law. From a pre- liminary investigation it appears that many of the through rates from St. Paul to other important points in the country will have to be advanced or reduced. In.general probably more rates will have to be reduced than advanced. Cockrell to Be Reappeinted. ‘Washington, Dec. 7.—Francis M. Cockrell of Missouri is likely to be reappointed by President Taft as a member of the interstate commerce commission. Mr. Cockrell’s term will expire on Dec. 31. When he retired from the United States senate, after thirty years’ service in that body, he was appointed to the commission as a Democrat by President Roosevelt. Mrs. Colfax Seriously Il South Bend, Ind., Dec. 7.—Mrs. El- len Colfax, widow of Vice President Schuyler Colfax, is seriously ill at her home in South Bend and friends of the aged woman are much alarmed over her condition. Mrs. Colfax has been ill for several weeks. Prominent Hotel Man Dead. New York, Dec. 7.—Horace H. Brockway, one of the best known hotel men in the country and a Free Mason of high rank, is dead at his home here of diseases incident to age. He was seventy-four years old. Generous. “Some men say,” remarked the beau- tiful heiress, “that I have no heart.” “Oh, that doesn’t matter!” repliec the poor but willing vouth. “I'll give you mine.” Reflect upon your present blessings, of ‘which every man has many, not upon your past misfortunes, of which all men have some. CLAUDE A. SWANSON. i Takes Oath of Office as Senator From Virginia. NEW MEMBERS SWORN IN Swanson, Terrell and Young Full Fledged Senators. ‘Washington, Dec. 7.—Immediately after the convening of the senate the oath of office was administered by the vice president to Claude A. Swanson, successor of John W. Daniel, as sena- tor from Virginia; Joseph M. Terrell successor of Senator Clay of Georgia, and Lafayette Young, successor to Senator Dolliver of Iowa. The credentials of the three new senators were presented by their re- spective colleagues, by whom they were escorted to the chair. THROWN FROM BEDS BY BOMB EXPLOSION Half Clad Italians Swarm Streel Following Disaster, Chicago. Dec. 7.—Half clad Italians swarmed about the, Twenty-second street police district following the ex- plosion of a bomb which blew out the entire front of a three-story brick building at 234 Alexander street, two blocks from the police station. No one was injured by the explosion, which the police are endeavoring to solve on the theory that it was the work of Black Hand men and was di- rected against Philip Battaglia, an Italian who conducts a grocery on the first floor of the structure. Battaglia declared he never has been threatened by any secret socie- ties, but the police plan to question him further, believing he may fear to tell of enemies for fear of their ven- geance, Battaglia, with his wife and four children, live in the rear of his store. The second and third floors are alsc used as residences, about thirty per- sons living in the building. ‘When the explosion occurred all ran into the street and were joined in a few minutes by hundreds of Italians who had been awakened, some thrown out of bed, by the blast. None of the occupants of the build- ing would return, but sought lodgings elsewhere. A Different Idea. A well known man had lectured upon color blindness, and at the con- clusion of his remarks a collier, who had evidently not grasped his expla- nations, asked him if he would ex- plain. “Certainly,” said the professor. “Wot is this culler blindness, then?” “Well,” replied the learned gentle- man, holding up a piece of red colored glass, “supposing that when you look at this you imagine it is green. That would be an instance.” “That’s culler blindness, do yer say?” replied the man, with a look of | contempt. “I should call it blessed ig- | nerance!”—London Mail. Saving Himself. A little boy was asked by his mother to bring in some wood. Five minutes later his mother, looking out and see- ing him sitting in the yard, asked why he did not fetch the wood. “Oh, I am tired,” he replied, “and if I use all my strength now, when I am a boy, what will I do when I'm a man?’—Omaha World Herald.

Frank Crane contribu'ed to the Chicago Evening Post a most scholarly and philosophical analysis of the Chapman-Alexander revival. There was not a line in Dr. Crane’s article which was not valuable to the one who read it. The particular paragraphs which we marked for comment were these: “He aims at the Religious Feeling. But there is nothing wild nor theoretic nor haphazard about his aim. He goes at it as a man goes for running for office. knows every element that enters into the matter. experiments of a hundred and fifty years. He He profits from the evangelistic He makes no mistakes.. Every move, every word, every detail is calculated. Before he comes to town the affair must be carefully planuved. All the churches of the evange'istic order are enlisted. Committees are appointed. Finances are con- cisely figured. There are captains of tens and of fifties. The battle host is a disci- plined army, not a mob. Advertising is liberally provided for. Signs and banners are painted The news- papers are eulisted. There is not an advertising agency in Chicago or elsewhere that could not learn something from J. Wiibur Chapmac.” Further along in his article, Dr. Crane says of the Rev. Mr. Chapman: “He organi” zes his meetings as a gigantic piece of machinery, all adjusted to bear upon one point’ the Will, as influenced by the Religious Feeling.” Now let your eyes go back and re-read the paragraphs we quoted first, and when you come to the tine: “There is not an advertising agency in Chicago or elsewhere that could not learn romething from J. Wilbue Chapman,” you, with ue, will say “Amen.” The thought that came to us, moreover, is that there is not an advertiser who can- not profit by a study of the ways and means of this wonderful revival. The mar- shaling of the forces, the awakening of public interest, the attracting of crowds and the convinciug of the hearers—all this wonderfully complete system of recognizing human nature and its wants and needs and then appealing to men from those vantage points— all this is, if we may be permitted to say so, the highest type of advertising. It is the science of advertis'ng put upon the noblest plane. It is not only advertising happiness in the life to come, but advertising peace and content iu this, is it not? So! Well, then, let us agree with you that there is a difference between business and religion. A1l right. But there i:n’t any difference in the .right way of con- vincing a man of the merits of goods and the right way of convincing him of the merits of right living. Ch+pman knows humanity, because he has studied it on the spiritual side and not on the fininecial side. He knows that when you appeal to a - man’s reason, to his impulse, to his hope, you are going a long ways toward con- vincing him. He rnows also, that the rere appeal isn’t enough. There must be concerted effort, organized work. A cumuiative influence must be exerted—so that one man tells another. and the other tells still anoth-r, and.so on until there is a wave of interest. One word more, Mr. Advertiser. Chapman believes in what he advertises. There is nothing so contagious as belief. Enthusi»sm is catching, but enthusiasm wilts: Curiosity may be aroused, but curiosity is fickle. Belief grows! So this our little sermon on advertising, using the Chapman revival asa text. Study the field, deplov yonr forces be ready to care for the inquires, be sure of getting inquiries, be sure you satisfy the inquires, be prepared to meet the bills, in- strugt your lieutenants, be ready when you began—and show by every word and acticn that you believe in your campaign. And, first, last and all the time, believe, for belief makes. believers. Copyright 1910, Mahin Advertising Compa‘ny, Chicago, 1ll. The Bemidji Pioneer Read by More Than 15,000 People Each Week s —
