There is a new play out called, “Don’t Lie to Your Wife,” and des- pite the title it is said to be funny. Providing his aeroplane dosen’t stub its toe on the Atlantic ocean, a man bird will fly from Key West, Florida, to Havana. Congress hasn’t fully decided as to whether Minnesota should have another congressman. Well, there are things that we need worse. Victor L. Berger, the new Social- ist congressman from - Milwaukee would pension every man who is more than 60 years of age. We move to amend the “sixty” to read “thirty”. The new president of the United States steel corporation will have to struggle along on a salary of $50,- 000 a year. He never will be able to catch a chorus girl on such a measely allowance. THE CITY ELECTION. The annual city election in Be- midji rapidly approaches. It is time that the friends of good govern- ment were bestirring themselves, see- ing to it that the proper sort of men are placed in nomination The forward stride of Bemidji en- tailing added responsibilities each year for the men who assume to operate the governing machinery of the municipality, make each succeed- ing election an event of added im- portance. In selecting men to work for tb-. city, it should not be so much a question of politics, as ability and sterling honesty. The public should not be carried away by rainbow promises of politi- cal parties whose planks are of air castle construction on a foundation of pleasing promises. Men who are always ready to fight for Bemidji first last and all the time —not dreamers, but workers; men with their coats off and their sleeves rolled up when the welfare of our citizens is at stake are the omes who should be intrusted with duties of municipal government, upon whom honors should be thrust, and our good mayor, John C. Parker is a splendid example of this sort of pub- lic servant. & AN APPEAL IS DESIRABLE. It is hoped that the Willard deci- sion which established the right of Minnesata to attend to her own I quor regulations will be taken to the supreme court of the United States. So long as there is any remaining doubt there always will be a feeling of- uncertainty by the:members of all factions:involved. The liquor dealers and: brewers and distillers will feel ‘squeamish; the Prohibit- ionist and Anti-Saloon man will look with hopeful eyes toward the higher tribunal, while the common every day citizen will continue to wonder if there is no way under the sun in which the lid question .can be per- manently settled. For all practical purposes the Wil- lard decision has clarified the atmos- phere,:leaving the mercurial “Pussy- foot” to seek. pastures:-green, ‘the Bemidji victory in the: federal. court at Minneapolis being distinctly a victory for the state, rather than a victory for the liquor interests or a loss for the' Prohibitionists. At the present moment President Taft appears about ready to let his position be known on the proposi- tion. It is said that the-president has seriously considered the advisa- bility of abrogating, despite the Wil- lard decision, all the Indian treaties, with the exception of the treaty of 1855, which includes Bemidji; and that-he would urge congress to ab- rogate the ’55 treaty. If the Willard decision were to stand there would be no necessity of this action on the .part of the president, and that is another rea- son why the validity of the Willard decision should be estahliqhed for all time. The Prohibitionists are urging an appeal on the strength of subsequent decisions from the supreme. .court which they interpret as being at varience with the Willard opinion, but there seems to be a strong im- pression in Washington and among the keenest attorneys that the power of the Indian treaties so far as Min- nesota is concerned has been broken forever. In any event there is no good rea- son- why an appeal. should not be taken and there is every reason why one should be, and the quicker the better. I WHAT OTHER PAPERS SAY Cruel! ..

New Experience For'Some Men, Thelifting of the Indian lid has been brought about through a court decision of a St. Paul judges. It has never been doubted that this would be the ultimate outcome, and the only surprising thing is- that the drought lasted as long as it did. But during that time many a man, has known for - brief time what it was to draw a sober breath, and some of the families have had' comforts they have not enjoyed before in years.— Aitkin Age. Who Is to Blame? Should the legislature of Minne- sota adopt the short course and ad- Jjourn about the first of March, it would deprive a good many clerks assistants, stenographers, messen- gers, etc., of from $3 to $5 a day, but we would have as good laws en- acted and the tax payers of Minne- sota would be saved many thousands of dollars.—Stillwater Gazette. Deerwood’s Dander Up. Deerwood, Minn., has been having wild times around the medicine show. Besides the medicine stunt the show exposed some grand opera to the pub- lic gaze and all were unable to attend the grand opera in St. Paul took in the Deerwood noise. At the conclusion of the engage- ment the doctor and one of his assist- ants had -a quarrel and the- latter landed and broke the ‘doctor’s nose. This was set by a physician of the village. His nose, as well as his pride, having been injured, the doc- tor salied forth and found his as- sailant and started the battle anew. Again was the doctor’s nose broken. The fighters were fined $10 and costs, which the assistant paid by pawning his cornet. The doctor lost his wife his trunk is in the hotel, his cure, dope is in the hall, he owes ‘his money for his fine sprained.—A. J.

Editor, Bemidji Pioneer, ‘Bemidji, Minn, My Dear Sir:— +~ Give-space:in your waluable: paper for the following lines_from.an In- dian-on:the Red- Lake-Indian Reser- vation who has had but one year's schooling at a Government board- ing school on an Indian reservation in Minnesota: The last -week or so. hassbrought to -my: notice “articles in .papers in regards. to trouble on:the Red Lake Indian reservation and-accusing"Wm. H.

C. ‘Wm. H. Bishop is a bonded agent and must do as directed by higher officers. 1f ‘people see fit to-causetrouble in this mater they should commence at:the head of the Indian bureau at Washington, D. C., where rulings concerning all. Indian- reservations are'formed. The paying out.of the children’s money—$25 per capita— is a great benefit to some, as by their getting it this way these little ones derive some benefit. If paid out.in full no doubt there are some: few that would be apt -to spend the] money - foolishly, and - thereby the little ones at the Government board- ing:school would not derive any bene- fit “from -what is really due them, and- by-the superintendent advising them tb purchase useful articles, such as Stalk Farm Machinery, Stoves and building homes, ete., shows that he is working for their childrens interests. The superintendent shows on the other:side: where ‘he is well satisfied that an Indian is competant to his or her own funds and knowing that he or she may be a good pro- vider for their children he should ask the department to pay them there money . in full; by his so do- ing would be a benefit to him and the department and would be to the trad- ers who have accounts that they ad- vanced such people as theay knew was thustworthey. By the super- intendent so doing I believe in my mind, would stop all agency troubles at present. The Red Lake band of Chippewas—some 1400 souls—are still wards of the government, not as yet receiving their allotments, and they have to still come under the Indian department rulings and be guided as a father guides his children and my 31 years among them has taught me to learn there is no better class of human beings on earth.

Mount Omi; on. thesborder: between western China and Tibet, has the long- est staircase in the world. On top of the mountain there stands a‘Buddhist temple,-around which gather.some of the holiest traditions of. that religion and which is made a Mecca to the Chinese. To facilitate the ascent of its slippery sides some 20,000 steps have been cut In the mountain, form- ing a single flight, up which the pil- grim tolls. - Because of its’inaccessl- bllity few Europeans have ever visited the spot, but a number of travelers have ascended. the .stairway and are positive that it is no legendary myth: There Is a legend that in earlier times the piigrim was forced to ascend the mountain without artificial alds until the monks _conceived the plan of re- quiring every pilgrim who would gaim especial benefit of his journey to cuta single step.

When vegetable matter accumulates under .. water :it undergoes a slow process of decomposition,; giving off its-nitrogen, hydrogen, oxygen -and some carbon, the result ‘of which if ‘carried far enough is the. formation of a mass of carbon. Peat, found often in swampy tracts, Is the first stage in the:coal forming - process, and the further stages -are' formed by:the ~burlal of these vegetable .deposits under- great loads of sediment, where they become subject to pressure ‘and sometimes to heat...
