Maud Ballington Booth says she is discouraged in her efforts to ele- vate women. She should try a mouse. As a marathon runner Mike Davis has ’em all beat. He started early on the morning of June 17 and is still at it. The Pipestone Star suggests that the Weather Man be thrown into the lake. No use. He would be rescued by the Ice Man. Dr. Dumas is back in Cass Lake attending to his own business and he probably wishes that other peo- ple would do the same thing. A fashion note tells us that the peek-a-boo shirt waist will be much worn this summer. We feel safe in, adding that there will be more peek than boo. There is a ring of real logic in the suggestion that it doesn’t matter if Dan Lawler does become a candidate for the United States senator for he can’t be elected. There is a girl at Pana, Illinois, who goes to sleep once a week and sleeps, despite all efforts to rouse her, for twenty-four hours, She probably picks out wash day for the nap. Although Bemidji’s new butter- milk factory will not be in operation for another week or so, it is not thought that this will seriously in- terfere with the Fourth of July cele- bration here. COME TO BEMIDJI ON TUESDAY. Bemidji extends a cordial invita- tion to all persons throughout the surrounding country to come here on next Tuesday, July 4 and aid in the celebration of the nation’s greatest holiday. A program has been ar- ranged that is sure to contain fea- tures amusing to all, and beside it will be a splendid opportunity to come in from the country and spend the day in Bemidji, improving the opportunity to see how the town is advancing. Everything that can bp done will be done for your comfort and amusement and if the Weather Man is patriotic enough to keep the rain clouds away we guarantee you a day of real enjoyment. Come on in—the doings will be fine. e THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER FULLERTON ON THE GOVERNOR.. Sam Fullerton’s assertion that. it| g was the state fire marshal’s office, and not Governor Eberhart, who is to blame for the inactivity in the Peterson charges against Sherift Hazen is an interesting side light. If the governor was persuaded, against his better judgment to delay action, it is quite likely that those desiring such action will take a char- itable view of the transaction, al- though doubting the wisdom of Mr. Fullerton’s argument, and if the chief executive now acts, lost confi- dence in him will, to a degree, be restored. If he fails to act now that he has been released from his al- leged bargain of silence with the fire marshal’s office, the lingering suspicion that other influences have at work will become pronounced. Clearly the moment for action on the part of Governor Eberhart is at hand. The persistent failure of the attor- ney general to give a written opin- ion on the Hazen case emphasizes this point, SWIMMING. No matter how -warm it gets, you always can go in swimming. That really means a good deal. A plunge in the clear, cool, invigorating wa- ters of Lake Bemidji will turn a grouchy man into a human being and a sweltering, discouraged per- son into a happy, contented member of society. Fifteen minutes in the waters of this lake have been known to make a man love his mother-in- law for a week. It starts the blood to circulating and fills you with the joy of living, if it doesn’t fill your nose with water. Anyhow it is bet- ter than splashing around in narrow chested bath tub. Any freckle-faced boy will confirm this statement. NOT SO BAD. “It’s a bad, bad thing for the town, and all Northern Minnesota—this Dumas affair,” is the woeful com- ment heard now and then since that memorable duckshot battle hright and early on the moring of June 17. We don’t believe there is any real ground for this sort of pessimism. In fact we take the opposite view. The events of the past twa weeks have caused Bemidji to be known Where it never was known before. To the Atlantic lapped coast of Maine; to flower strewn sands of Florida; toward the setting sun to San Fran- cisco and down into the towns of Texas the telegraph ticked the tale of Dr. Dumas, and it went out un- der a Bemidji date line. “They'll think we are the rende- vous of criminals—a rough back- woods country,” say the weak-kneed, but they overlooked the repeated ref- erence to Cass Lake as a thriving city of 2,500, that automobiles carried de- tectives over farm roads between the city of Bemidji and surrounding towns and that the escaped robber was hiding in the woods fearing to come. out, into the fields. This is the sort of stuff that the Associated Press has flashed to every city in the country and this is the king of stuff that the staff corres- pendents of the Twin City papers have been sending out and it is the sort of stuff that Bemidji newspa- per men have sent out, and almost without exception there has been some hint, some suggestion, some- thing in every story that might cause the intending settler and homeseeker to make a further investigation of this part of the state. It is easy to imagine that an in- tending immigrant now in Illinois read of the Dumas case and then said to himself: “How large a town is Bemidji—wender what they have there—what sort of soil they have. Guess I'll look it up.” It is doubtful if there is much real logic in the argument that people would be afraid to come here and live because “the band of criminals.” Anyone who would be faint hearted enough to wilt on that score prob- ably would be a pretty poor addition. It looks as if Bemidji had received more free advertising during the month of June than any other town in the United States, NEWS FORECAST FOR THE COMING WEEK. The coming celebration of the Fourth of July will probably be the “safest and sanest” the country has ever witnessed. Popular celebrations with parades and pageants as the chief features are planned in New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Boston, and numerous other cities. President Taft will celebrate the Fourth at Indianapolis. - Leaving Beverly Sunday he will reach Mar- ion, Ind., the following day, and there he will speak to the bankers and editors of Indiana. He will reach Indianapolis Monday night and go to the home of former Vice-President * The Hoptoad That Evelyn Couldn't Like asked Evelyn. “I must admit it’s awfully cute to see him hop out of makes me feel shivery.” good company, it is a quiet and useful its habits, like Mary’s toad.” comb. named him—found the dish slid aroun front paws to steady it and ate all the “Here he lives happily with half a at the glass to get to them. are big hearted enough to love it.” @it edtimé S@p SN'T it queer, daddy, that Mary Jones should hava a hoptoad for a pet?’ the grass when she calls and take a fly from her fingers, but it always “I don’t think that Mary i3 queer,” answered daddy. “I think you are queer for feeling shivery.

The large gatherings of the week will include the biennial convention of the International Christian En- deavor Union in Atlantic City, the annual assembly of the Jewish Chau- tauqua Society of America at Mil- waukee, and the annual convention of the National Education Associa- tion, opening in San Francisco on Saturday. ‘Wednesday is the day set for the McNamara brothers to appear in court in Los Angeles to plead to the charge of murder with the use of dynamite. The monument erected by the Do- minion of Canada to Laura Secord, who risked her life in conveying to the British army the information which enabled them to win the vie- tory at Beaver Dams in the‘War of 1812, will be unveiled Wednesday with interesting ceremonies. The monument stands on Queenston ‘Heights. Events of the week abroad will include the Royal Hanley Regatta on the Thames, the State visit of the King and Queen to Ireland, the jubi- lee meeting of the British Institution of Naval Architects in London, the American Embassy reception at Dor- chester House on Independence Day, the French open golf championship tournament at La Boulie, and a meef- ing in Brussels to form a permanent international organization to be known as the International Iron and Steel Institute.

To the Bemidji Pioneer: When I left Bemidji I think I promised.to write you and give you my opinfon of this country. Now, this country is so mighty big it takes some time to form an opinion, but I have traveled over quite a large scope by steam, electricity and au- tomobile, and the more I travel the better Minnesota looks to me, and especially Valley Farm and Bemidji. The only thing they have in abun- poor eating. Oh, yes! there is an another crop in abundance and that is the “Big Mitt” artist. They stand on every street corner and seem to have a faculty of “spotting” an east- ern “guy” and they light on him like & hungry buzzard, and if he is easy they soon transform him into a tramp. They haven’t landed me yet but don’t know how soon they will. Now, there is some things ‘here that the farmer of Minnesota could learn, and that is the destroying of pests such as bugs and worms. As soon as an insect shows itself the people, backed by the state, start to destroy it at once, and the conse- quences are they keep the pests un- der control. Potatoe bugs have shown up in this country in places but they are exterminated at once. Beltrami county who has a’ piece of. land to stay there, and try and do better farming.

They are all hustling and try- ing to get some of the money, and I guess are succeeding fairly well. but nearly all of them have a good word to say-for home. If after a while I find anything better than Northern Minnesota, I will write you again. With the best of wishes for you and Bemidji, I am, as ever, a Bemid- ji booster. W. A. CASLER.

A Lincoln, Neb., girl writes, “I had been ailing for some time with chronic;-constipation and stomach trouble, &#}gln taking Chamber- lain’s Sty ieh and Liver Tablets and in three days I was able to be up and got better right along.

The tuatara lzard, found in New Zealand, s one of the most anclent forms of animal life now found on earth. Originally this lzard pos- sessed four eyes, but in the course of ages it has lost one pair and must now get along with two. The tuatara lay eggs which are remarkable in that they require fourteen months to hatch, the embryo passing the winter in a state of hibernation. These small survivors of. past ages -are found only in a few localities and are becoming very scarce, collectors from every part of the world being continually on their trall. They are about two feet in length and ip common with other liz- ards have the fortunate characteristic of being able to replace portions of thelr limbs ‘or tails which have been destroyed. It i3 asserted that one of these lizards owned by a naturalist had the misfortune some time ago to lose an eye'and that a complete new eye, perfect in every way, has grown in the place of the old one.
