One off: the Minneapolis paper treats us;to this one, “Mike Davis is a bay gg.”” Most yeggs are bad. Perhaps the paper meant to say egg. | = e Mr. Tgwney insists that a major- ity rule is a bad rule. Mr. Tawney is a living example, although, of course we have nothing to say against Sydney Anderson. Perhaps after all if Viggo Peterson | were not a socialist, but a Republican who could hand Mr. Eberhart and Mr. Simpson a few votes, his charges that a county officer was guilty of serious conduct would be given de- cent consideration. EVEN WRITING EDITORIALS. The Dumas case not only has jam- med the news columns of the papers from one end of the country to the other, but editors have found mater- ial upon which to base arguments, such for instance as the following from the Chicago Herald: “If the. charges against the mayor of a Minnesota city , who has been arrested charged with having bzen a highly respected citizen and phy- sician by day and the leader of a band of criminals by night, shall be proven, there will once more be ex- emplfied that strange duality in man’s nature which has been the theme of so many fiction writers and the cause of so much philosophic and religious speculation. “To those fatalistically inclined there is hte height of tragedy in the spectacle of a man of education and leadership among his fellowmen struggling against the fatal tendency to do evil. The religious moralizer, of course sees in such a spectacle the struggle of the divine "and the diabolic for the mastery of man, with evil predominating over good only POOOOLOOVOIOPO0OOOOOOOOOOO6®O because of weakness of will. Practi- cal minded students of human nature deduce from a Jekyl-Hyde revelation the need of restraint for even the wisest and most moral-seeming of us. The evolutionists discover traits of reversion, a shaking off of all the moral fetters that the race has put upon itself in its slow progress away from the jungle conditions. How- ever one looks at such occurences, Ithe spirit of wonder is aroused. “The Minnesota mayor, of course, may be the victim of a conspiracy, as he asserts. If he has been falsely or stupidily accused.the case may prove as dramatic as it now appears in the istory told by the detectives.” The Minneapolis Tribune givse the sensation this sort of an editorial ftwist: “If there is really an arson trust !in northern Minnesota, and if the insurance Commissioners and ad- justers are right about the enormous proportion of fire losses due to pre- meditated or constructive arson, then the worthy doctor and mayor is set- ting an example to the whole coun- try comparable to Morgan’s and Rockefeller’s. “They say that more than 90 per cent of fire losses are caused by the deliberate acts or inexcusable care- lessness of owners of the property, and could be prevented by the strict laws and enforcement that make fire losses in Europe only one-fifth of ours. As the total mounts to hundredes of millions this raises the business of selling houses and goods to the insurance companies to a high standing among the industries of the country. “It is time a trade conducted by separate concerns on so large a scale was . organized and centralized for economies of production, discourage- ment of competition, limitation of output to legitimate demand, main- 1 { cial wpersecution.

A dog sat out in the midnight chill and howled at the beaming moon; his knowledge of music was strict- 1y nil and his voice was out of tune. And he howled and howled as the hours went by, while dodging the bricks we threw, till the moon was in the western sky, and his voice was split in two. And there wasn’t a thing at which to howl over which a pup should weep, and the course of the dog was wrong and foul, for the people were wild to sleep. There are plenty of men like that blamed fool hound, who yell when there’s nothing wrong, disturbing the counlry with senseless sound— the pessimist’s doleful song.—Fair- play Flume. Mackenzine Gets a Boost. W. R. Mackenzie of Bemidji spent a few hours in Roseau Satur- day. Mr. Mackenzie is secretary of the Northern Minnesota Develop- ment association. He possesses the gift of organizing and stimulating others to action. By his untiring ef- forts Northern Minnesota is coming into her own and when his practical plans, embracing essentially the public domain roads, drainage and immigration, begin to be realized, a uew order of things will be wit- nessed in this section of the state. Unassuming in manners and modest in speech, Mackenzie co-operates with enterprising men in every county who interest themselves in sromoting the public good and he has been successful in enlisting sup- port for measures advocated by him and there is no doubt but his efforts will result in much good.—Roseau Region. Back to the Pen. The Prison Mirror copies this s the philosobic mind. discovey- the—prafound-truth ef-social}. THE BEMIDJ DAILY PIONEER poem by Walt Mason from one of its exchanges: In Minnesota, noble state, where girls are smooth and men are great, there was a convict in the pen, who longed to see the world again. He rivaled Burbank, and in the jail he grew such prunes and spuds and kale, that stories of his triumphs found the governor, who said: “Cogs wound! That genius should not be in hock—the prison doors I will un- lock!” The pardoned convict left the pen, and sought the great gray world of men; and t'other day he ambled back, and said: “I love this good old shack, so kindly show me to a cell where I again in peace may dwell For one who’s lived this quiet life can’t stand the outside noise and strife. woe, I saw so many salt tears flow, so much injustice, grief and care, that I was driven to despair. Out there where liberty has sway broken people go their way, and struggle for a crust of bread, and weep and wish that they were dead, and heart- less Shylocks rob the poor, who toil and suffer and endure; and hungry people walk the street and vainly beg a bite to eat. I saw such visions day and night, and simply couldn’t stand the sight and so I come and ask to dwell again in my good cozy cell.” They marked his number ca the door; ’twas 4-11-44.

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.
