There is a report to the effect that Mike Davis was in Duluth Thursday night and now the Zenith City police- men are afraid to go home in the dark. These are the glorious days when ambitious persons are up and away at sunrise to get four yards of sun- burn, dead tired and a pint of blue- berries. * Being a man of only average fight- ing ability, his Majesty, King George V carefully avoided any disparaging remarks relative to the Pope during his visit to Dublin today. THE GOVERNOR SHOULD ACT. The argument that Governor Eber- hart should continue to delay action on the charges of Chairman Peterson filed, lo! these many moons ago, ac- cusing Sheriff Hazen with doing just about everything that he shouldn’t do, is too weak to be taken seriously. Persons with an over abundance of charity might be inclined to give the governor a benefit of the doubt up to the present time on the ground that he feared that to “stir things up” here would be to jeopardize the work of relieving Cass Lake of her mayor, but for him to continue at the capi- tol deaf as’a Sphinx in Egypt to the entreaties that the serious charges against Sheriff Hazen be investigat- ed, is too much. Beltrami has no greater yearning for a crooked sherift than Cass Lake has for a crook- ed mayor. Dr. Dumas is charged with taking money that did not belong to him; so is Sheriff Hazen. The mayor ig willing to try to establish his in- nocense; the sheriff should be made to, if he can. BEMIDJI SHOULD BEWARE. A deformed and dreadfully diseased girl was one of the attractions of a cheap carnival concern that blocked the streets of Winona last week. This creature was known as an “al- ligator girl,” and hundreds paid ten cents to gaze upon her features. The Mankato Free Press comment- ing editorially upon the attraction has this to say: “The quintescence of fakism is found in the cheap carnivals that inflict their preseuce upon communi- ties. One of these traveling ‘bunks’ exhibited in Winona last week and among other ‘curiosities’ advertised was ‘ an alligator girl.” Before the outfit left town Coroner John Stein- bach looked the girl over and he declares her to be a take and a fraud. He says the condition of her skin is due to a disease. This dis- ease, which by the way, is very rare, 80 rare, in faect, that it is exhibited as a curiosity, is known as Ichthyo- sis. Only children, both of whose parents have inherited syphilis, will get the disease. “A remarkable case of this was the Lambert family in England. All the sons had the disease, while the daughters escaped. The so-called al- ligator woman was a half breed In- dian, and the color of her skin made it appear something like an alliga- tor's. The cracking of the skin was the cracking of the grimy filth. Mr. Steinbach suggested giving the girl a nice warm bath, but he received only expressions of ill will, especially from the girl’'s mother, who said it was a birthmark caused by her being frightened by an alligator. And the public puts up good money to these frauds.” So far Bemidji has been fortunately free from these traveling catch penny carnivals that give nothing in. re- turn for.the money which it takes out of a town, but there is no telling when the greedy omes will happen along. When they do it will be well to give them the col shoulder—and nothing el NEWS FORECAST FOR THE COMING WEEK The Georgia Legislature will take its first vote Tuesday for the elec- tion of United States senator to suc- ceed the late Senator Clay. The re- sult of the contest is awaited with considerable interest, chiefly because of the prominence of the several aspirants for the toga. Among those who are regarded as candidates for the senatorship are Governor Hok: Smith, Senator Terrell, “Tom” Wat- son and Col. Pleasant A. Stovall of Savannah, Republicans of Kentucky will nominate a State ticket at a conven- tion to be held in Louisville Tuesday Judge E. C. O’Rear of the Court of Appeals is their probable choice for governor. No instructions are pro- posed for United States senator, and probably none will be given. The progress of King George anl Queen Mary in their tour of the United Kingdom promises to furnish the most of the week’s news from the other side. Concluding the four days’ visit in Ireland their Majesties will leave Dublin Wednesday for Wales. At Carnarvon Castle the next day will take place the investi- ture of the Prince of Wales by the King. On Friday his Majesty will open -the new University College at Bangor and on Saturday he will lay the foundation stone of the Welsk National Library at Aberystwith. The notable conventions of the week will include the national re- union of Elks at Atlantic City, the annual convention of the National Education Association at San Fran- cisco, the meeting of the Imperial Council of the Mystic Shrine at Rochester, the annual meeting of the National Editorial Asosciation at De- troit, the national convention of Building Owners and Managers at Cleveland, and the annual convention of the Young People’s Christian Union of the Universalist Church in the United States and Canada at Port- land, Maine. Other events that will figure more or less prominently in the news of the week will include the opening of the Canadian Industrial Exhibi- tion at Winnipeg, the international athletic games in England between the teams of Harvard and Yale and Cambridge and Oxford, the opening of the Grand Circuit races at Indian- apolis, and the national balloon race, which is scheduled to start on Mon- day from Kansas City.

He went at once to his employer and said: ‘May I speak to you a few moments, Mr. Smith? I think I can save you some money.’” ““That’s the boy,’ said Mr. Smith. ‘Come right in and tell me about it." “*I notice that 218 of these letters go to Glenside, said Will. ‘With a two cent stamp on each that costs $4.36. Now, if T put on one cent stamps that would be $2.18, and I could take the bundle out on the trolley and mail them there and get back in two hours at a cost of 20 cents.’ “How much would that save?’ asked daddy quickly. “One dollar and ninety-eight cents,” answered Jack and Evelyn almost in a breath. . “'Good,” said daddy. “There’s mothing the matter with the way your teacher keeps you up in mental arithmetic. “‘Well, Mr. Smith saw the sense of the thing at once and sent Willie away not only to Gienside, but to a dozen other towns and made a saving in 8 week of nearly $40. “So on Saturday Will got a whole day off, two tickets to the ball game and a dollar bill to spend.” “I wonder if he took his sister,” remarked Evelyn. v “I'm sure he did,” said daddy. “Didn’t I tell you he reminded me of Jacl 'Well, didn’t Will get promated?’ asked Jack. “My goodness,” said daddy, “won't you ever stop asking questions? 1 really don’t know, but I'm sure he'd have been promoted if he had been in my office.” state, is seriously ill in his home at| The latest move on the part of the Auburndale.
