Address, Bemidji : Pioneer Bureau, State Capitol, i St Paul, AN INS.DIOUS FOE. Northern Minnesota has the fight of her life on her hands in the strug- gle for a decent reapportionment. She has fought the fight with all the zeal and fire and enthusiasm of those patriots who refused to suffer outrages at the hands of a tyrant across the waters who sought taxa- tion without representation. The North has met foes in the open and has conquered or been conquer- ed in a fair fight. . The struggle has been carried on under -the banners of hundreds of thousands of home- seekers who have come to our fer- tile fields, our valued forests and ore dotted regions. ‘We have been led to believe that when the present Legislature conven- ed an honest, fair-minded body of lawmakers would insist on adding legislative representation to the North, at least somewhere within the keeping with the growth of this part of the state. The Pioneer does not say that this will not be done but it does say that as insidious an attack on this pro- gram as could be imagined is being perpetrated with no less a personage than our eminent attorney general in the spot light as the villain in the drama. The attorney general is from Wi- nona and reapportionment is the last thing in the world that Winona with her losing population, wants. The attorney is out with an opin- ion to the effect that reapportion- ment can be made at any session of the Legislature. We are not inclined to credit the attorney general with an over abun- dance of gray matter but we believe that he knew that in the test such an opinion would not stand and there certainly is no question but that the supreme court would be guided by the constitution even if our attorney general, for subtle reasons, is not. The constitution provides as clear- ly as English words can make it that the legislature has power to re- apportion only after a state or feder- al census. Mr. Simpson’s opinion appears to be a very lame attempt to deceive the present Legislaure, the governor and the people at large into the belief that the next session of the Legisla- ture can act on the matter with the same authority as the present. ses- sion. Mr. Simpson’s wisdom—increued, More of That “Hazen” Advertising. It certainly ought to scorch the pride of those Bemidji fire fighters who are seeking to have the state pay them for their labors at Bau- dette last fall. A move of this sort, if carried out, would give the fair city of Bemidji an eye about the color of the burnt stumps in the fire zone. —Walker Pilot. 52 Below in Sunny Alberta. According to the official reports the temperature at Edmonton, in “Sunny” Alberta was 52 below zero, while at Prince Albert it was 50 be- low. The lowest official registra- tion at International this winter has been 38 below zero and only one day at that.—International Falls Press. A Question of Right. Reapportionment based on popula- tion regardléss of any other condi- tions is what the fair minded people of Minnesota are demanding of the legislature of Minnesota. If a bill is not passed by this session the gov- ernor will call an extra session for that express purpose, if the opinion of those near him is worth anything and he will be upheld in so doing. It is a question of right.—Brainerd Dispatch. Blackduck Curbs Saloons. The experience of having a “dry” town seems to have crystalized senti- ment throughout the village in favor of a more rigid adherence to the state laws and many of the liquor dealers themselves are heartily in favor of it. They realize that it'was because of the violation of law throughout northern Minnesota that resulted in the drastic measures taken by the government agents and it is obvious tothe keen observer of events that stricter obedience to law will inure to the benefit of the saloon keepers themselves. Mayor Mc. Dougald says that the council are considering limiting the number of saloons to 11. Many are of the opinion that this number is to high. Others favor reducing the number to three or four and increas- ing the license to $1,000.—Black- duck American. Their Id “Why did you never marry, Tom?’ inquired the young benedict of the old bachelor. “Well, you see,” replied the single one, “when I was quite young I re- solved that I wouldn’t marry until I found .an ideal woman. I was difficult to please, but after many years I found her.” “Lucky beggar! And then”— “She was looking for an ideal man,” replied the bachelor sadly. Good Enough For Him.

FAMOUS CASE IS NEARING THE END Oral Argument:on RigM Of 5. umtinn avont ssebody Labor to Boycott. MAIN ISSGE CROWDED-OUT Question Before the Supreme Court of the United-States 18 Whether Gom- pers, Mitchell and Morrison Violated a Valid Injunction, for Which They Are Under Sentence of Six to Nine [disease Months in Jail. % ‘Washington, Jan. 28.—One of the most speciacular legal. battles ever waged between capital and organized | L. | 1abor reached its final stage when the |d: supreme court of the United States took up for oral argument the famous Mtigation by the Buck Stove and Range company of St. Louis against the American Federation of Labor. The contending. forces started their fight to determine the legality of the “boycott.” That was in'the supreme court of the District of Columbia. But when the contest was Tenewed before the supreme court of the United States the main issue had been crowd- ed out of the limelight by an- in- cidental one. Now, the issue is wheth- er the principal officials of the Ameri- can Federation of Labor are to go to jail on charges of contempt of court. Because they failed to obey the in- Jjunction issued by the district supreme court in- the original case, Samuel Gompers,-president of the Federation, is under sentence to serve twelve months in jail; John Mitchell, vice president of the Federation, to serve nine months, and Frank Morrison, its secretary, to serve six months. - - When given as soon as the croupy cough appears Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy will ward off an attack of croup and prevent all danger and cause of anxiety. Thousands of mothers use it successfully, Sold by Barkers Drug Store, The Harm of Damp Houses. It is dangerous to health and even to life in a damp, moldy house or one built over a moldy cellar. Many years ago the London Lancet in an article on diphtheria traced the disease in certain cases to the presence of cer- tain molds and fungoid growths which seemed to be breathed into the throat. Remember, one of the best disinfec- tants is lime. Moldy cloths, such as shoes and other articles that are unfit for use, should be destroyed at once.
