ENTERED AS SECOND CLASS MAT- TER AT THE POSTOFFICE AT BE- MIDJI, MINN.,, UNDER THE ACT OF MARCH 3, 1879. WELCOME TO THE BANKERS By the time this is read, the bank- ers of Minnesota will have found out that Bemidji is glad to see them, but we hasten to make the welcome doubly strong. To the bankers and their friends, the city is open. The key to the city was thrown in the lake when the first banker arrived and it is now deeper down than the lost launch “Keemar.” Breath the perfume of our pine forests, revel in our natural beauties and marvel at our industrial progress, and do any- thing else that is kittinish which would amuse you. The town is vburs to command. Have a good time and come again; we will be bigger by that time and have at least eleven blocks more of pavement, maybe. Here's hoping the bankers will go away feeling that Bemidji is a fine, fate deposit slip. The Pinkertons, too busy to go to London, decided to do a little cor- onation stunt of their own. The state superintendents of banks has an appropriate name to bring to Bemidji just at this time. And the bankers should be duly thankful to Bemidji for having fixed things up so that this would be seat of war. At the Schroeder farm the bank- ers drank buttermilk. In Bemidji they—but then that’s an entirely different matter. The Duluth Herald insists that the governor should convene the legis- lature in extra session. Isn’t this conspiracy against the state? It begins to look as if Lake Min- netonka would have to go to Presi- dent Taft, rather than him to it, if it wants to be the summer capital. We don’t want to knock Winona, but for James A. Tawney’s benefit we wish to say that people know a him. up here good man when they see It-will need no Pinkerton detective to discover that “Lafe” Young, of “Commission- Form” Iowa, and late of the United States Senate where he didn’t stay long enough to be- come contaminated, is in the city. A POET ON THE BLAND, BLOND BOSS. Never was there a poet quite like that rose in the Sunflower fields of Kansas.—Walt Mason. Never was there a senator quite like the blond boss from Illinois— ‘William Lormier. And Walt is just as good a poet as William is bad a senator. But we didn’t start out to gossip but to give you this from Walt’s always sharp pencil. Hop to it, Walt: “THE SHINING LIGHT. “Oh, let us follow Lorimer, that statesman good and true, who pas- ses up the cigarette, and dosen’t drink or chew! For weeks on end we’ve seen his name loom up on printed page, and he’s discussec by orator and editor and sage. For weeks and months he’s wallowed in a sea of printer’s ink, this man who shuns the cigarette, who dosen’t They charge him up with dreadful things; they say his course is fraught with danger t» the sacred boons for which our fath- ers fought; his deeds insult the stary flag that flutters in the air, but who has seen him take a chew, and who has heard him swear? His heart is free from nicotine, mno bug-juice keeps it warm; the rugged virtues here we find in incandescent form. So who will heed the raging.mob that dogs him everywhere? He does not smoke a filthy pipe of shake the dice or swear. And thus was virtue ever scorned and hooted and oppressed, the man who stands for purity be- comes & public pest. Because he blew himself for votes or bought Lis swear or drink. | Way to fame, the vulgar crowds in anger howl at mention of his name forgetting in their maudlin heat that he whom théy pursue has never tap- ped a keg of beer or bitten' off ‘a chew.” BY WAY OF WARNING. Again we draw your attention to a vital subject. Preseut indications are tha: the fire losses in the United States and Canada for 1911 will excsed $207, 000,000. The figures for the first four months of the year show a total of $87, 577,000, as comnared with $67,222,100 during the sa.na perind last year. The losses for 1910 were $234,406,- 650, and if the present rat’> of in- throughour the year, the 1911 losses may approach $300,000,000. This will exceed any year in the history of the country except those of the San Francisco and Baltimore conflagra- tion. crease continues Government officials, under vriters and firemen agree that the majority of these fires are due to carlessnoss and are easily preventable. All of the recent fires, which have attracted public attention because of the heavy loss of life with which they were accompanied, were due to the carelessness and indifference of the owners, ocupants, or munieipal authorities. The country cannot go on indefinitely burning up hundreds of millions each year, merely for lack of proper indivudal and municipal responsibility, New York has been spending $10,000,000 a year for fire extinguishment and only $15 000 for fire prevention. The recent shirt waist factory fire aroused the public and the authori- ties, and fire prevention is to be made much more prominent hereafter. The most important consideration is the development of a sense of personal responsibility on the part of propert owners for the excessive fire wast, which is draining the re- sources of the country and weak- ening its jnsurance capital. A score of fire insurance companies have retired from the field already this year, because of the heavy los- ses last year and the unfavorable outlook, two of the number being companies over a hundred years old. Don’t you think it a good idea to join in the movement to thwart the fire demon? lame and weak. . Von Lenbach, the Painter. Franz von Lenbach, the great pop- tralt painter, painted three portraits of the poet Adolph Wilbrandt. On one occasion the sitting lasted through the whole day. The afternoon passed, and Ausk came on, but still Lenbach work- ed away without appearing to notice the failing light. At last it grew so dark that Wilbrandt could scarcely see him. He called his attention to this, saying that it seemed impossible for him to paint any more, but Lenbach’ begged him, unless he was tired. to continue sitting. “But what can you see of me?” asked the puzzled poet. “Quite the best of all. Excellent. S8it still, please.” And the sitting only ended with the last. glimmer of light. Unfortunately, Yes.

Follow the advice of a Bemidji citizen. Mrs. A. E. Hannah, 804 America || Ave., Bemidji, Minn., says: “Some time ago I began the use of Doan’s Kidney Pills and the results were highly satisfactory. At that time I was suffering severely from backache and my kidneys were not doing their work as they should. I was steadily running down in health and my con- dition was becoming serious, when a friend advised me to try Doan’s Kidney Pills. I was so greatly bene- fited by them from the first that I procured a further supply. Since then I have had little cause to worry about my condition. Today I am en- joying good health and do not hesi- tate to give Doan’s Kidney Pills the credit for this remarkable change.” For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents.
