SOOSOODOOODOGOOOOSDOOOOD: OUR WOMEN. Upon no less authority than Her. Highness, Maharani of Boroda, the distinguished Hindu queen, the American woman is on the bum, or words to that effect. The queen has returned to her home, after a second visit to this country with the report that, instead of being the most facinating women in the world, as she had heard, the American girl is less chic than those of France; that the American gowns are exaggerated (always thought those hobble skirts would get us into trouble, sooner of later) and that coquetry is an unknown art in the United States. This last thrust is too much. The queen was never in Bemidji when the soft breezes blow and the band plays on Saturday night. The queen says, says she: “The manner of the American wo- man who wishes to attract the at- tention of a man is that of a boy who wants to play golf with him—as frank and as deveoid of poetry.” The scathing queen leads one to believe that when Mary desires to hold converse with William, she puckers her pretty lips with, “Hi, there, Bill,” and maybe he queen is right, but so is the American girl. The Maharani also concludes that our sisters are masculine, the soft- ness about them being: the stuff in which they drape themselves—not in their souls. Again we object to the impeach- ment of Her Highness. We believe all the glories of womanhood are finely exemplified in America, any old' kind of a Hindu queen to the contrary, notwithstanding. GOOOOOOOOOOOOODOOS DOOOVOOOOOSOOHGOO OG- & ODOODex FLYING TO HAVANA. America has won another victory from the air. J. A. D. McCurdy got up early at Key West, Monday morn- ing of last week, and with his trusty aeroplane made a scoot through the air for the metropolis of the Pearl of the West Indies, said pearl being 115 miles away as the crow or man flies. McCurdy got a good start and loped along throug southern skies at a pace considerably faster than old Dobbin can trot on the way home for oats until finally from the azure blue or something else appeared the bright colored city which was to mark his goal. But the aeroplane had been eating upithe ofl until it eat no longe down it came, splash ifito t:hefi_wltar like a wounded bird. Fortunately, for Mr. McCurdy, Uncle Sam had thoughtfully run out & line of tor- pedo boats and“while torpedo: boats may not be'as fast as aeroplanes, they usually get there. One 'of them did in time to drag the aviator and his hungry steed from the salt water. This did not occur, however, until Mc Was within ten miles .of Havana. As they fished him from the water, he could truly have said as did that other somewhat more expert travel- er of the air, the swallow: “I was this very morning a hundred miles away.” But Mc wasn't saying any- thing like that. He was ,using strong words because he had failed to take on board a sufficient supply. of oil to satisfy the appetite of the finicky aeroplane. He, of course, lost the $8,000 cash prize for which he braved the treagh- ery of the air currents above and the ocean ‘currents below, but he set a record for over sea aeroplane jour- neys, his nearest competitor being those aviators who have crossed the English Channel, a distance of less {than 20 miles. It is safe to say that ere long the trip will be made and to those per- sons who have ridden in one of these Miami-Havana tubs, suffering the “sickest” sea sickness that anyone ever suffered, the innovation will be a delightful one and probably none such passengers can be found who would not prefer the dangers of the air.

Cutting Out Salaries, If we have free trade with Canada, we can just see the finish of the trusts, and Wall street, for that mat- ter, and what a relief it would be to the consumer. Besides there are a lot of other little items that Uncle Sam would profit financially, It would cut off the pay on some and do away with a lot of big salaried men, holding: federal jobs who land in by partizan zeal and ‘wire-pulling.’— Warroad Plaindealer.

They took his weapons and hastened after the main party, for the coyntry was hostile. . “But one day old Glass woke up and got one of his eyes open. And when he saw how things stood he swone: he would live merely for the sake of kill- ing his false friend. He crawled to a spring close by, where he found a bush of ripe bullberries. He waited day after day for strength and finally started out to.crawi a smail matter of a hundred miles to the. aearest fort. And he did it too!

SENATORS BY DIRECT VOTE Calls Attention to Present Deadlock in Several States, Which, He Says, | Is Causad- Solely by the Dogged and Persistent Determination of Power- ful Corporations to Control Elections. Washington, Feb. 10.—Sharply an- tagonizing the position of Senator Lodge on the use of corporation in- fluence in politics, Senator Joseph L. Bristow of Kansas addressed the sen- ate in sunport of the resolution pro- viding for an amendment to the Con- stitution ' permitting the election of United States senators by direct vote of the people. “How,” he asked, “can the distin- guished senator entertain such a de- lusion when at this very hour there are a number of states deadlocked in pending senatorial elections, caused solely by the dogged and persistent de- termination of certain powerful finan. cial interests to control the election of senato:s from those states?” He deciared that there never had been a time when these interests were more vigilant and grasping for politi- cal power-and. dominion than now. Mr. Bristow asserted further that the great financial systems have ac- quired too much power in the govers- ment of the United States, with the re- sult that they had used their power to enrich themselves at the expense of the general public. He added: “Unless a change is made not only in the metliod of electing senators, but also in the manner of selecting dele- gates to the national conventions, the rising tide of unrest and dissatisfac- tion that prevails throughout the coun- try today will rapidly increase. Men will not become less greedy for wealth and power. The great financial inter- ests will not abate their efforts to com trol, not only the business, but the politics of the country.” Spoiling His Advantage. Robert Lowe, the English journalist, was always saying good things. “Look at that fool throwing away his nat- ural advantages!” he exclaimed when a deaf member of the house. ot com- mons put up his ear trumpet. WHY IT SUCCEEDS Because it’s for One Thing Only, and Bemidji People Appreciate this, Nothing can be good for every- thing. Doing one thing well brings suc- cess. Doan’s Kidney Pills do one thing only. They cure sick kidneys. They cure backache, and every kid- ney ill. Here is Bemidji evidence to prove it. Mrs. J. C. Titus, 602 America Ave., Bemidji, Minn.; says: “I can recom- mend Doan’s Kidney Pills just as highly now as I did three years ago, when they cured me of kidney trouble. There has been no return attack of my complaint. The failure of my kidneys to do their work prop- erly made me miserable in every way and I was unable to find anything that would help me until I began tak- ing Doan’s Kidney Pills. They dis- Dosed of the pain and built up my en- tire system.” For sale by all dealers. cents. Price 50 Foster-Milburp Co., Buffalo, New York, gole agents for the United States.

WERE TRAPPED IN COACH Victims Were .Only Inside Occupants of Vehicle When It Leaps Into ‘She- boygan- River at Shebeygan, Wis. Conductor, Motarman and Male Pas- senger Escape by Jumping. Sheboygan, Wis, Feb. 10.—Three persons. were drowned when a local street car went through an open draw into the Sheboygan river and became Submerged. The drowned are Anna Mather, aged thirty, music teacher of Sheboygan Falls; Miss Olga Willo- might, aged eighteen, hotel waitress; Miss Van Owerkerk, Sheboygan Falls. These were the only passengers inside the car when it toppled into' the river. Paul W. Eizold, a Milwaukee travel- ing man, who was standing on the rear platform, escaped by jumping be- fore the car went down. Motorman George Thiene and Con- ductor Frank Weber jumped from the car during its descent and clung to cakes of ice until rescued. The cause of the accident is believed by the motorman to-'be due to'defec- tive working of the brakes. There is a steep incline mear the bridge’s approach and the cars usually take on a high rate of speed. The brakes refused to respond to the ef- forts of the motorman, according to his story. The bodies of the three women trapped in the car were recovered by chopping & hole in the top of the coach, and with the aid of a pully were hoisted to the surface.
