DOV OROOOOODPO® O 1t is illegal to shoot partridges but that has nothing to do with “Mike” Davis. The cattle which win prizes at the coming Beltrami county fair will be expected to be cow belles. With 150,000 bushels of potatoes in sight, Bemidji has a right to feel that she is some pumpkins. Viggo Peterson has thanked Gov- ernor Eberhart for his suggestion in the Hazen case but Governor Eber- hart probably would thank Viggo to keep still. THE VALUE OF A “WIDE OPEN” TOWN. Ne¢ town in the country cares to| diepute San Francisco’s title to being the “wickedest city” in America, al- though other places, large and small, | trail along as pretty good imitators of the metropolis by the Golden Gate. There was a time when Bemidj}' knew what it meant to be a wide town in every respect, but, for the past half years this municipality has been un- open happily, dozen dergoing a change for the better and the decent element is fighting for improvement, and that this course is one which wins is shown by the following from the San Francisco Call which dares to thunder out the following protest continually against a wide open town: “A liberal administration, a ‘wide open’ town, it is said, puts money in active circulation and makes] business. 1f this is true, which may be doubted, at Dbest it puts money in ciruculation in the wrong places. Instead of going into buildings and buying shoes for the children the money is squandered among the parasites of the stews and the tenderloin, among people who have never done an honest day’s work in their lives. “It is a grave error to think that a ‘wide open town’ is good for trade. The sort of trade that is helped by this policy is an injury to the town in the long run. Sooner or later it brings disaster by the inexorable processes of economic law. Thieves and brothels flourish under such rule, but honest trade languishes or flees the town in alarm. “Neither Mayor McCarthy nor any other man can repeal the laws of nature. Punishment surely follows disregard of these laws. The mis- fortune of the situator is that the certain retribution is visited on the whole community for the sins or mis- takes of those in authority.” WHO WILL IT BE? As a result of the congressional re- apportionment decided upon by con- gress and approved by President Taft, Minnesota is to have ten, instead of nine, congressmen. Until the legis- lature creates a new district, the ad- ditional congressman will be chosen from the state dt large. The first election for this office will take place at the general election in November of next year and who the man will be who is to join the North Star delegation at Washington is a question which is causing the politi- cal dopsters to exhau.st their vocabu- lary. As a matter of habit, the name of James A. Tawney of Winona is pre- sented, but as Mr. Tawney has taken up a new line of work and emphati- cally denies that he will permit his name to be used in connection with the new position, he might as well be | counted out. As Minnesota is a Republican state it_is natural to presume that some man flying one of the many kinds of banners now being used by persons claiming adherence to “the party of Lincoln” will be the one chosen for the new place. In such a list we find the names of Hugh T. Halbert, insurgent but nevertheless kind hearted citizen of St. Paul; Speaker H. H. Looks-like- Lincoln Dunn, long on hair but some- what short sighted on politics, who lives in Albert Lea; J. Adam Bede, Taft Republican but otherwise a humorist whose domicile is at Pine City; Alex McKnight, a persistantly progressive Republican of Duluth; Senator Haycraft of Madelia who fought reapportionment and who would not get enough votes in Nor- thern Minnesota to choke a canary bird. All these, and more, have been mentioned as Republican possibili- ties for the place, but it is an even wager that the name of the winning man is still unknown. Incidentally, there is one man in the state who could have any old thing in the way of politics that he might wish to grab, if he only knew it, and his first name is Ole, he lives in Otter Tail county and his last name is Sageng. R @ Notes From the Labor World. ¢ CRLOCIRPOOOOOOOP In Switzerland the railway work- ers have an 82 per cent organization: The corner stone of the Labor temple in Utica, N. Y., will soon be laid. Thirteen states have boiler inspec- tion laws and fourteen officially in- spect bakery shops. Winnipeg (Manitoba) Trades and Labor Council will move to have a municipal fair wage officer appointed. The amount that may be recovered for death by industrial accidents in Minnesota has been increased from $5,000 to $7,500. An organized effort will be made by the glass workers of the country to minimize the amount of the ma- chine-made product. The French workman’s pension law call for a contribution of about §1.60 a year by each beneficiary, an equal sum by his emplayer, and the state adds a third. The federation of trade wunions connected with the building industry in France has decided the bodies which form it shall no longer take part in any building operations con- nected with prisons. At the fifty-seventh annual con- vention of the International Typo- graphical Union, which will be held in San Francisco Aug. 14 to 19, Tex- as will make an effort to secure the 1912 meeting for Houston. There are now affliated with the American Federation of Labor 120 international unions, 39 state feder- atipns, 632 city central bodies, 431 local trade unions and 216 federal labor unions, making a total of 1,438 organizations.

The San Francisco Labor Day com- mittee has decided to offer prizes to pupils of the public schools for the best essays on labor and its signifi- cance of Labor Day; also a special prize to be awarded to the schmool of which a pupil obtains the first prize. The workers of the Amsterdam dia- mond industry have a compact organ- ization. According to one of its rules, no noe can learn the diamond trade without the consent of the or- ganization, and only children of workers or of jewelers are eligible to become pupils. Nearly 200,000 new employes were added to the pay roll of the railroad companies of the United States be- tween June 30, 1909 and June 30, 1910, according to the annual report of the interstate commerce commis- sion. The total of the last named date was 1,699,420. i The state of Ohio has five free pub- lic employment offices, one each be- ing located at Cincinnati, Cleveland, Columbus, Dayton and Toledo, un- der the supervision of the Bureau of Labor Statistics. A report for the last quarter gives in detail the num- ber of people assisted in procuring employment and the total reaches 8,731. 21 BOY SCOUTS BREAK CAMP Completed Walking and Swimming Tests Given By Scoutmaster. Having their original 18 increased by three late arrivals, Bemidji Boy Scouts returned from a camping trip of a week at the head of the lake this afternoon, under the care of Scoutmaster White. The boys have taken daily tramps of from five to ten miles, but most of their attention was paid to efforts to pass their swimming tests, one of the qualifi: cations of becoming a Scout of the! first class. Each Scout was required | to swim a distance of fifty yards, or| be disqualified. A large number of the boys were successful. So gen- erous have the residents of Bemidji been in furnishing food to the boys during their outing that they brought home a large stock which was divid- | ed among the boys. They were: Earl Cochran, Herbert Warfield, Har- old White, Morris Witting, Alex Cameron, Glenn Conger, Clarence 'Rood, John Simons, Chester Otto. Billie Ward, Stanley Rogers, Howard Palmer, James Nesbit, Ralph John- son, Earl Mclver, John Harris, Don- ald Smith, Earl Markham, Billie Begsley, Hovey Lord and Eldridge Lord. | | i Elaborate Preparations for Jap Now on Way Back to New York.
