At about this time in the year there is much alarm throughout the country over hydrophobia, although it seems a safe assertion to say that more persons die of fright than from the effects of rabies. Eighteen years’ study of domestic animals has convinced J. E. Ruders- dorf, manager of the Spokane Hu- mane Society, that the so-called mad- dog cases, reported every summer in various parts of the United States and Canada, are nothing more than instances of poisoning, indigestion, stomach troubles and mange. He declares there has never been an authenticated case of rabies west of the Mississippi river, saying also that scientific analysis of every re- ported case in other parts of the country has developed the fact that the affliction generally is poisoning, indigestion or some other ailment, but never rabies. “There has never been a case of rables in the western country,” he asserted, “and 1 am prepared to prove this statement.” Mr. Dudersdorf says the mad-dog scare is sprung with regularity dur- ing the hot weather periods with the~result that timid persons prefer climbing trees rather than pass a dog wagging its’tail.or acting other- wise than a modest puppy should during the summer months. AS GOOD FOR BEMIDII, MINN., AS CHARLES- TON, 8. C. Way down ‘south at Charleston, South Carolina, the retail merchants have adopted a list of reasons why residents should buy goods at home, and they are being reproduced in many newspapers throughout the country, because they apply with equal force to all places. Here they are: Because my interests are here. Because the community that is good enough to live in is good enough to buy in. Because I believe in transacting business with my friends. Because I want to see the goods. Because 1 want to get what I buy when I pay for it. Because my home dealer carries me when I run short. Because every dollar I spend at home stays at home and works for the welfare of Bemidji. Because the man I buy from stands back of the goods. Because I sell what T produce here at home. Because the man I buy from pays his part of the local taxes. Because the man I buy from gives value received always, Because the man I buy from helps support my school, my church, my lodge, my home. Because when ill luck, misfortune or bereavement comes the man I buy from is here with the kindly greet- ing, his words of cheer and his pock- etbook if need be. Here I live and here I buy. This ought to set the person who patronizes the catalogue houses to thinking. It has in Charleston. Per- haps it will in Bemidji. If it does there will be more money spent here —where it belongs. PRINTING THE NEWS. When the Daily Pioneer ran a se- ries of “Heart-to-Heart” talks with its readers a few weeks ago many persons glanced over them as mere space fillers; few readers realized that sooner or later some of the prin- ciples and explanations set forth must involve them personally. When this paper said that it intended to print all the legitimate news it could get its hands on, it meant what it said. Within the past week cer- tain of our readers had occasion to realize this. We have one case in particular in mind. A divorce de- cree was granted. A request was made to say nothing about it. It was court proceedings and a matter of public record. It would be just as reasonable to ask a paper not to chronicle a wedding. It was an event that was food for the gossips, and every gossip who repeated it, enlarged upon the case until it be- came a mountain out of a mole hill. The Pioneer silenced these untrue reports by presenting the fact in a four-line item. Still the paper is blamed and one of the principals has cancelled his subscription. Thus the merry task of getting out a news- paper goes on day after day. —_— L AR AR AR R R R RCRORRRN © POLITICS AND POLITICIANS ¢ 200000000000 0000 Former Governor Van Sant is men- tioned as a possible opponent to Sen- ator Nelson. Republicans of Maryland will hold their State primary on August 29. Twenty-three Kansas cities are now governed by commissions. Governor Foss of Massachusetts will probably be renominated this fall without opposition. Lansing, Michigan, has rejected a proposal to adopt the commission plan of government. The Socialist party in Mississippi has named a complete State ticket, headed by J. F. Lester of Jackson as candidate for governor. Edward F.

The Good Government League of Louisiana, representing the “insur- gent” element of the Democratic party in that State, has nominated Judge Luther E. Hall for governor. For the Democratic presidential nomination the active or receptive candidates at this time are Governor Wilson of New Jersey, Governor Harmon of Ohio, Governor Marshall of Indiana, former Governor Folk of Missouri and Champ Clark, Speaker of the House. Congressman Ollie M. James, the choice of the Kentucky Democrats to succeed Thomas H. Paynter in the United States senate, is not yet forty years old. Before his election to Congress eight years ago he had es- tablished a reputation as one of the leaders of the.Kentucky bar.

A mulley cow, you know, Is one that has no horns, but that doesn’t keep her from butting. “One morning the boys were milking away like mad because the circus was coming to town, and they had just finished and were getting ready to drive the cows to pasture when all of a sudden down the road came the circus folks, with the big elephant plodding along in front. “All the other cows ran mooing up the lane, but old mulley made a bee line, with her head down, for the elephant and bumped him plumb on his side. Of course she didn’t hurt the élephant, and he stood still for a minute as if ‘wondering what to do. “‘He had never in all his life stood for an insult from an animal before.

If the reciprocity bill as it is now before the Senate should be passed and become a law it would be the most rank, and unjust piece of leg- islation ever put into effect, against the farmers of the United States. It will mean the settling up of the entire portion of Northwestern Canada, to the detriment of the States. As soon as the farmers that are now working high priced land, find- that the duty is removed from the farm products, they will flock to the lands in Northwestern Can- ada, where they can get from onc- half to three-quarters of a section of land practically free; and ready for the plow, and a great deal rmore productive than the high priced land they are now working. Our last census shows a great fal- ling off in population in some of the farming districts of Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska, South Dakota and Minne- sota, and to what reason.can-we at- tribute this, except the great move- ment of our farmers to the greatly advertised Canadian Northwest where the poor man can go and get a home ready to begin farming; the most productive soil practically free, and reap a bountiful harvest the first year. And now President Taft would have us remove the duty on the very products that they raise, to compete with the farmers of the States, where the land is getting so valuable that it is almost impossible to make a small rate of interest on the amount of money invested in the land. Yet, he tells us, that it is to the great benefit of all that we have recipro- city with Canada. We also hear Mr. J. J. Hill (the great railway magnet), say, that re- ciprocity with Canada is just the thing we need. But why? Here are some of the reasons. The bill asks that we admit lumber in the rough free, but when it is manu- factured into the finished material, we must pay a duty on it; thus pro- tecting the manufacturer and mak- ing the farmer pay the bill, as the great per cent of, the lumber he uses is the finished product. While on the other hand, the greater per cent of the lumber used in the construc- tion of railroads is heavy timbers and rough lumber. Also in the matter of the farm pro- ducts. We see the Hill interests ex- tending their branch roads all through the Canadian wheat belt so they will get the hauling of the Can- adian grain to our terminals, which means a tremendous increase in bus- iness for his interest or roads. Is it any wonder then that he should try to make the people be- lieve that we should have reciprocity with Canada? ‘We read in many of his Speeches, the great need of influencing the People to go back to the farm (this being one of his pet hobbies), but he would have you go so far back that he will get from twenty-five to fifty per cent of all your grain for hauling it to the market. We also find the press, all over the States urging reciprocity, and Wwhy? This is easily explained when we stop to comsider that they will be able to buy their print paper for about twenty-five per cent less than at present. There are a great many other things along the same line that could be cited if we wished to go into the details of different matters. I do not blame the people, how- ever, for crying for the things that they are most interested in. This is the reason the farmers are making -such protests against the passage of the reciprocity bill, for he is the one that will be injured most if it should go ‘into effect. I read of one man making the | statement a few days ago, that he ‘was one of 50,000 salaried men that wanted reciprocity with Canada. 1 wonder if he thinks his salary will be ‘stopped, or reduced 25 per cent if this bill is not passed, if not, then let him consider how he would like to be a farmer and the price of his grain reduced ten cents per bushel, to give his neighbors across the line a chance to compete with him in the same market. It is certainly amus- ing to hear some of the reasons some very intelligent men will give for wanting this bill passed. I might say in behalf of the stand I take in the matter, I am in the timber business, principally the ced- ar posts and telephone poles and I find that when the farmer does not get a good crop, or he does not get a good price for his products, that is when my business falls off, and when the farmer is getting good crops and good prices he is willing to pay good prices for what I have to offer him. I also own and run a nice farm in northwestern North Dakota, next to the Canadian border, and know that when I was gelling wheat for $1.00 per bushel, my “Canadian neighbor hauled the same grade of wheat in the same elevator and sold his wheat for 90c per bushel. The farmer can get along very nicely without these 50,000 salaried men. But what would our salaried men do without the farmer. Please let him answer this, and see if he don’t think he can get along just as well if we do not have reciorocity with Canada.
