James J, Hill passed through Be- midji in the night and with the kind of a depot the Great Northern has here, no one will blame him. The man who was fimed $13 for catching fish that were thirteen inches in length is willing to admit that thirteen is an unlucky number. That wreck of the baseball play- ers in Nebragka must have remlnd- ed the umpire of the day he made a bum decision against the home team, " While the small boys are - glad enough to be taught patriotism t{o- day, its a good guess that the most of them had rather know where the fish are biting best. TOMORROW. IS THE.DAY. It will be for the voters of Be- midji to say tomorrow whether they wish to have the down town streets paved. May 31 is the date of the special election for the purpose of passing on the question of a $20,000 bond necessary to properly finance the proposed improvement of eleven blocks. If the transaction is thor- oughly understood by the voters there can be no question but that the bond issue will carry. After all that has been said it seems hardly necessary to repeat that this bond issue can not possible increase the tax rate. It also should be under- stood that the real cost of the pave- ments, with the exception of inter- sections, will be paid for by persons who own property along the streets that are thus to be improved and it is safe to .say that 99 per cent of these persons favor the paving. The money paid for the paving will be back in the city’s strong box in five years time ‘and the $20.000 bonds will form ‘a nucleus which will permit continued paving, the great- est advertisement the city can have. BEMIDJIL AT DULUTH. There are more than the general “boosting’” reasons why = Bemidji should have a large and representa- tive delegation present at the con- vention of the Northern Minnesota Development Association which opens in Duluth for a two .days meeting on Thursday of this week. It was in Bemidji that the first meeting of the association was bheld und it was from this city that the agsociation chose its secretary. Bemidji, therefore has a ° personal interest, ag no other town can have, in ‘the success of the organization and she should take pride in mak- ing a showing at. every ome of its meetings, and especially the ome to be held in Duluth because-of ‘the "| come:to the ‘aid of the city, county creating the impression which * gation is:present and makes its pres-: ford to take s brass band along and make all other delegations really sit up and take -notice.

The brightest and prettiest and most fragrant flowers ar"o", ;'todly banking the graves of -the: silent army which fitty years ago was marching on in new uniforms of blue to the gory fields of the south. Sacred above all other days, each recurring memorial celebration takes on a deeper significanece, for as the Grim Reaper. mows down the men who came from the sheli-seream- ing battlefield, prison horror or camp" pestilence to live the lives of idol- ized heroes in the eyes of the nation, whose life they saved, it comes home with tragic emphasis that the fad- ing ranks must soon melt into eter- nity. Racked by disease, bent by the pressure of years, the glorious rem- nant of the Boys of '61 pass in re- view through Bemidji today,as they do: in every other loyal town in the country and their march should be through lines of reverent people who may well murmur a thanksgiving that the grizzled old vets were spared to us in the numbers they have been. 4 For the most part, their days of labor are over; for. them the sun is fast sinking ana soon the darkmess of this world must come. And so it is well that in strewing with the most precious petals. as tri- bute of highest.honor. the sleeping place of their comrades, the surviv- ing guard be made to understand that a republic is not always un- grateful. Carry the old fellows to the cemetery in automobiles and then let their fancy fun riot.

During the past week it has been made clear = that Ex- President Roosevelt will give his hearty support to the renomination of President Taft. Governor Chase Osborne of Michigan, one of the greatest progressives of the country, is also outspoken in favor of the nomination. Congress has been somewhat obstreperous with the President,but the Execntive has been demonstrating that he is en- tire master of the situation, and his legislative ideas have been pretty. well carried out through the Sixty- first Congress and the special ses- sion. While there is a good deal of talk to the effect that Senator La Follette and other progressives will attempt to stand in thé way of the renomination of Mr. Taft, it is be- lieved here that the political at- mosphere is clearing so rapidly that all opposition will disappear long months before the campaign-of 1912 | At a social gathering held recently in Washington, politics were laid aside for the time ' being and a number of republicans heaped bou- quets of oratory upon Champ Clark who ‘was present, Mr. Clark in his after-dinner speech paid a splend- i@ compliment to minority leader Mann, whom he described as having accomplished more in legislation while in Congress, than is shown in the record of any other man in the public service. German Buresucracy. ever known, Let us hear from. their lips again that blood tingling: “What regiment is that?” “The first Minnesota, sir.” “Can you take that hill?” “We await your orders, sir.” And then as you hear the story of those death defying young men, the flower of Minnesota’s manhood, leaping onward, always onward, to- ward the belching cannen, stinging grape and cracking ‘musketry, clos- ing the gaps that the flood of lead continued to make until a stubborn enemy was sent reeling from the field, as you hear of this . and a thousand other triumphs, look with still a little more compassion upon the Grand Army of the Republic, show its members a little more kind- ness; handle them a little tenderly. And that isn’t all. In the drama which today is filled with such intense pathos, do mot forget that the soldier boys had a popular song, “The Girl I left behind Me.” If the Boys of ‘61 who fought the great battles of the war are deserv- ing of honor and praise, then so are the Girls of ’61, who, at home, far from the front, struggled along with aching hearts, and kept the little family together and made just as heroic sacrifices as ever a -soldier. did. No flag marks their resting place and often weeds, instead -of flowers, plaster their graves.
