Corner Bemidji STRIKES OUT AT HIS OPPONENTS Ballinger Flays Critics in Speech at Boston. BELIEVES IN OLD IDEAS 8ays New Fangled Method Is to Haul Everything Out by the Roots and Keep the Roots Exposed—Modestly Refers to Himself and Declares “You Can’t Pull a Good Man Down.” Boston, Mass., Jan. 28.—Aiming a blow at his enemies, declaring that the endeavor of many earnest advo- cates of reform and progress of the present day seemed to be to haul everything out by the roots and keep the roots exposed, Secretary of the Interior Ballinger, in a speech before the banquet of the alumni of Williams college, emphasized the point that a good man could not be pulled down and the work of the heads and hands of good men would be steadier be- cause of the shocks of battle. “I hear I have enemies in Boston,” said Secretary Ballinger. “Well, no matter; they, like my other enemies, are probably too incorrigible to war- rant my embittering my temper over the wrongs they have done me and it is indelicate for me to exhibit my scars to you on a festive occasion. “I am old fashioned enough to be- lieve in the institutions of our fathers and that they will be preserved, not- withstanding new fangled ideas of government or the flaming fanaticism of the crusader. Wrong Idea of Progress. “One would suppose, with our op- portunities of culture and general edu- cation, that stability in all things would be the order of the day, but the contrary is most evident—to haul everything out by the roots and keep the roots exposed seems to be the idea of many advocates of progress. But most men, I am sure, enjoy the distinction of being upbuilders rather than uplifters. It is much easier to pull things up by the roots than to awalt the slow process of nature in producing fruit. “You can’t pull a good man down,” the secretary said, “and you can’t pre- vent the onward progress of a good cause or a righteous principle. The good men,” he continued, “will go on with their work, and the steadier will be their heads and hands because of the shocks of battle that great prin- ciples must endure and control human activities. “I trust that it may be long before the narrow and sordid view of life shall possess our people of the great ‘West,” continued the secretary. MURDERS KANSAS COUPLE Neighbor Becomes Suddenly Insane and Commits Deed. Mankato, Kan.,, Jan. 28.—His mind suddenly becoming deranged, Harvey ‘Wadleigh, a wealthy farmer living near Formosa, Kan., went to the home of Willlam Bates, a short distance away, and shot and killed Bates and his wife. ‘Wadleigh is confined in the county jail "here. After killing the aged couple Wadleigh returned to his home and said to his mother: “Well, mother, I killed the Bates. I would have killed the kid, but he 8ot away.” The boy who escaped had been em- ployed to chop wood by Bates and gave the alarm. ENDS FREE TRANSPORTATION Anti-Pass Law Befors North Dakota Legislature. Bismarck N. D, Jan. 28.—An anti- pase bill, more stringent in its re- quirements than was expected by any of the members, will be reported by the committee on railroads. It is along the line of the bill proposed by the committee some time ago. It does away with all kinds of free transpor- tation even excluding members of the railroad commission and its secretary. The only exception that is made is in the matter of street cars, which are allowed to carry policemen and gov- ernment mail carriers when they are in uniform and upon the discharge of their duties. Would Defeat the Treaty. St. Paul, Jan. 28.—Following the an- nouncement that arrangements had been completed, subject to the ap- proval of congress and the Dominion parliament, for a reciprocity treaty between the United States and Can- anda, a resolution promptly appeared in the senate of Minnesota protesting against its ratification. The resolu- tion was introduced by Senator Put- nam of Faribault county and was re- forred to the committee on general legislation. Sheehan Still in the Lead. Albany, Jan. 28.—The Ilegislature deadlocked again over the selection of a United States senator. Many of the. members were absent through pairing. Only sixty votes were cast, of which William F. Sheehan got nine- teen, Edward M. Shepard nine and the rest were scattered. DR. COOK AGAIN TALKS POLE Says Peary’s Records Are No Better Than His Own. New York, Jan. 28.—After an inter- val of silence Dr. Frederick A. Cook, the explorer, took the lecture platform again and told the German-American Pioneer club he is now more positive than ever that he reached the North pole. Within his own bosom, he said, there is “the satisfying thump of suc- cess won at great cost,” but at the same time the geographical proof that any one man—himself or Cemmander Peoary—stood at the exact pole, can never be laid before the “arméhair geographe1s.” 4 The whole matter is still in doubt, the doctor insists. Specifically attacking the accuracy of Peary's records, the doctor says they are no better than his own. BLOW TO NEVADA DIVORCES Rufing of Reno Judge May Kill the “Industry.” Reno, Nev., Jan. 28.—The local dl- vorce colony is in an uproar over the ruling of Judge Orr, which, it is be- lieved, knocks out the law making only a six months’ residence neces- sary for a divorce. The decision was handed down in the case of Mrs. Sarah Ford against Millen Ford, Nevada City, Cal. The court held that while the wo- man had complied with the letter of the law by living in Reno six months she was not a bona fide resident of Nevada and therefore could not se- cure a decree of divorce. TWO0 STEAMERS ON ROCKS Tugs Sent to Their A New York. New York, Jan. 28.—Information reached this city by wireless that two freight steamers, the Mohegan and the H. M. Whitney, are on the rocks somewhere near Throggs Neck, near the western end of Long Island sound. The two captains report that they are apparently in no immediate dan- ger and thus far sustained no serious damage. Tugs hdve been sent from this city to the steamers’ aid. ALL BUT FOUR ARE SAVED Some Loss of Life When Steamer Cot- tage City Was Lost. Seattle, Jan. 28.—A wireless mes- sage from the purser of the wrecked steamer Cottage City, which went on the rocks off Cape Mudge, B. C., says: “Pilot and three on a raft are miss- ing.” The dispatch is interpreted to mean that all have been accounted for ex- cept the pilot and three of the crew. stance From Taft to Make Brief Trip. Washington, Jan. 28.—REarly in March, iminediately after congress ad- journs, President Taft will make a short swing through the South, wind- ing up at his home town, Cincinnati, where he will spend several days. The president expecis to be away from Washington about a week. Schenk Jury Disagrees. Wheeling, W. Va, Jan. 28—The jury in the trial of Mrs. John O. Schenk, charged with the attempted poisoning of her husband, has dis- agreed. The jury stood 11 to 1, pre- sumably for acquittal. What the Boys Thought. A prominent educator, talking to a class in an elementary school he had visited, decided to {llustrate a point he ‘was making by a problem in long divi- sion, the intrioacies of which the class had just mastered. He put down the necessary figures and then said: “Now, let us see how many times this number will go into the other. Let us try six.” He tried six, and, as he intended, six wouldn’t do. “Well, let’s try five, then,” he said. Five was all right, and he went ahead with his talk, On his way home that evening he overtook two small boys with book bags under their arms and heard this conversation: “Say, Bill, did a long whiskered, baldheaded old feller come into your room today?” “Yep,” replied Bill. i “And did he talk to you?” i “Yep,” said Bill, “Well, so he did to us, but the fun- niest thing, by golly, was that the old chump stumped himself on an example in long division.”—Philadelphia Times. Most Beautiful Water In World. Little restaurants are scattered along the cliff overlooking the bay of Capri, and here by the water’s edge you can sit and sip and gaze at Vesuvius away off in the distance or perhaps at the water in the bay below. The most beautiful water in the world! The blue water of the grotto 18 more mystical, perhaps, but the wa- ter of the bay of Caprl is more ex- quisite. It is a wonderful pale green, with a greener, darker color streaked through it. There is no other water like it in all the world. And here in the little restaurant you slt and sit, gazing at the water below, although you know in your heart you ought to be seeing the rest of the place. But the water is so green and beautiful that when the warning whis- tle of the Naples steamer blows you awake with a start and realize you have seen nothing of Capri at all— nothing but the emerald water, so en- ticing and beautiful.—Mary Sutley in Pittsburg Dispatch, A “Primitive” Painter. Henri Rousseau, a man who used to hold a minor government position in France, was for a quarter of a cen- tury the joke of artists and art students in Paris. For years in the independ- ent salon he showed daubs which had not the most distant kinship with art. Some of his “famous” pictures ‘were a “Lady on a Sofa In a Jungle,” a “Tiger In a Jungle,” a “Nigger In a Jungle.” He affected jungles, which consisted of innumerable parallel green lines to represent grass; the tiger was a painted wooden toy; the lady looked as if she had come out of a Noah’s ark. The unfortunate Rousseau went on exhibiting the same sort of work every year, and the painful thing was that he gradually became a celebrity. Sinister humorists told him he had genjus, and he took himself quite se- riously. “I am a real primitive,” he would say. Some practical jokers even went the length of buying his pictures.

MAY RESULT IN EXTRA SESSION Opposition to Reciprocity Treaty in Congress. SENATE CAN HOLD IT UP Could Be Easily Disposed of in the House by a Special Rule, but No 8uch Method of Procedure Exists In the Upper Branch—New England and Northwestern Delogations Will Oppose Ratification. ‘Washington, Jan. 28.—Congress is confronted with a new problem in- yolved in the proposed reciprocity sgreement with Canada, which every- body admits amounts in effect to prac- tical free trade between the United States and the Dominion. Adminis- tration leaders declare -that if the president’s: lead is followed the time i8 not far distant when all tariff bar- riers between the two countries will be broken down. The president is hopeful that the re- ciprocity agreement will be given the approval of congress before adjourn- ment on March 4. So far as can be learned, the oppo- sition to the agreement will come from New England and Northwestern delegations representing agricultural districts. Congress will adjourn on March 4. The opposition, therefore, is in a posi- tion to defeat action at this time. The legislation will come before both houses in the form of & concurrent resolution. It can be easily passed in the house through the medium of a special rule. The situation is different in the sen- ate. It is possible under the rules of that body to put off a vote on a given measure indefinitely. While the ad- ministration has not given up hope of putting through the Canadian agree- ment at this time it is realized that the opposition holds the whip hand it it is disposed to use it. Basis of the Agresment. Reciprocity onleading food products such as wheat and other grains; dairy products, fresh fruits and vegetables, eggs and poultry, cattle, sheep and other live animals. Also certain com- moditles now free in one country are to be made free by the other, such as cottonseed ‘oil by Canada and rough lumber by the United States. Tin and terne plates now dutiable in both countries, are made mutually free, barbed wire fencing now exemp- ed from duty by Canada, is also ex- empted by ‘the United States. Some new materials such as mica and gyp- sum, which enter into numerous in- dustries, are to be made free by the United tates. 5 Printing paper is to become free on the removal of all restrictions on the exportation of pulpwood. Mutually reduced identical rates on secondary food products such as fresh meats, canned meats, bacon and hams, lard and lard compounds, canned vege- tables, flour, cereal preparations, and other foodetuffs partly manufactured. Mutually reduced rates on a list of manufactured commodities which in- cludes motor vehicles, cutlery, clocks and watches, sanitary fixtures, satchels and similar leather goods, plate glass, brass band instruments, printing ink and miscellaneous articles. - Agricul- tural implements, such as plows, har- vesters, threshing machines and drills are reduced by Canada to the United States rates. Small Reduction on Coal. A small list of articles is given as #pecial by each country. Canada re- duces coal to 45 cents per ton and cement to 11 cents per hundred pounds. The United States reduces iron ore to 10 cents per ton, lowers the rate on aluminum products and on dressed lumber. Total amount of duties to be remit- ted by the United States, $4,850,000. Total amount of dutles to be re- | mitted by Canada, $2,660,000. Value of articles now dutiable, which the Unlted States proposes to make free, $39,811,000, equal to 76.4 per cent. Value of dutiable articles on which the United States proposes to reduce dutles, $7,621,000, equal to 14.4 per cent. Value of articles imported into the United States, which are affected by the reciprocal agreement, $47,333,000, equal to 91 per cent. Value of articles remaining duti- able at full rates. $4,771,000, equal to 9 per cent. Value of articles now dutiable which Canada proposes to make free, $21, 958,000, equal to 16.5 per cent. . Value of dutiable articles on which Canada proposes to reduce duties, $25,870,000, equal to 19.5 per cent. Value of articles imported into Can- ada which are affected by the recip- rocal agreement, $47,828,000, equal to 36 per cent. Value of articles remaining duti- able, $85,198,000, equal to 64 per cent. Women Eligible for Jury Duty. Olympia, Wash., Jan. 28—The lower house of the legislature passed a bill making women eligible for jury duty by striking the word “male” from the Dresent statute. Hopeless, Pat—I say, Mick, I'm very hard up. Can you lind me the loan of a pound? Mick—Sure, Pat, to tell yer the thruth, I haven’t a bob on me. Every penny I get I give to my poor old mother. Pat—Be jabers, Mick, I've just been talking to_yer mother, and she tells me ye never give her a farthing. Mick—Oh, well, Pat, if I don’t give my poor old ‘mother a farthing, what sort of a chance.have you got of get- ting any?—London Matl. + INCURABLE. Some Interference Wireless Operatort Cannot Overcome, Few are the steamer passengers whe fail to visit the wireless office aboard ship to watch the operation of the in struments and to question the oper ator. Needless to say, the technical understanding of the well meaning visitors is a variable quantity. The ‘operator must listen to wondering ex- clamatlons, original suggestions for ‘the improvement of the service, dis courses on the relations between wire less -telegraphy and spiritualism and other doubtful topics with uniform courtesy. At times, however, the strain Is too great. It was a lady pas senger with an eye for details whc came to the wireless room and looked wonderingly in. “Oh, here's the wireless! May. ] come in? Isn’t it wonderful to think of sending those—those waves—you call them waves, don't you? How fas. cinating to work ‘at this! Are those dars filled with water?” “Those are condenser jars, madam quite empty.” “Really? I don’t believe I could ever understand it. That coll of wire looks like a birdcage.” “That is the inductance helix.” “What are those things over your ears?” “The receiving telephones.” “Then you have telephone connec: tion too. One can hardly keep ur with the times these days. What does. that coll do?” “That is the receiving tuner and in- terference preventer.” “Wonderful! terference?” “Not all,” replied the operator wea- rily. “Some kinds of interference can't be tuned out; we just have to stand it.”"—Youth’s Companion.
