A sidewheel steamer to carry 6,000 persons has been built for use on the Hudson river. They must have a baseball league on the Hudson. The meanest man hag been found. He lives in Minneapolis and when his wife sent him after shoes for her he got a pair that felt comfortable on her feet. The United States postoffice depart- ment has decided to spell it “Pitts- burgh” after this which confirms the general impression that Pittsburgh is a “h” of a town, It is getting so that anyone who is not a friend of Sheriff Hazen can not go along the public street with- out being insulted by that person, which is only another indication of the character of Beltrami's valuable servant. A WORD ABOUT THE LAND SHOW. The Northwestern states land show is to be held in St. Paul December 12 to 23. Each of the seven states of the Northwestern Development League will be represented as a state. These wilb be known as officia} exhibits ang Wwill not advertise any particular community nor city. Products shown in them will of course contain names of ¢ounties and growers or producers. The states will be assigned pre- ferred space within thirty days. Then a small amount will be sold to com- mercial clubs, land companies and transportation companies seeking to develop the states in this league. No land companies nor railroads seek- ing to boost other states or sections can secure space at any price and Canadian exhibits will not be admit- ted. No one is going to make any mon- ey on this show. It is a partnership enterprise of the states interested, the commercial clubs of their cities and the railroads seeking to develop them. The price of space will be $2 per square foot and money received from tle sale of the same will be used to give publicity to the show in the states east of here with the idea of securing the largest possible at- tendance of prospective settlers. Fully 150,000 people will visit the show. -All the great daily newspa- pers of Minneapolis and St. Paul are behind the enterprise and in hearty accord with it because it is of a pub- lic character and its only object to benefit the territory in. which they are interested. Every time these pa- pérs print anything about the show ot an exhibit in it or coming to it, they speak to 600,000 people. No other show has such an advantage because others have but one or two newspapers interested in them—most of them have no newspaper affilia- tlons whatever. ———— JUMPING ON TAFT. It is vacation time—the proper period for light reading, so we may be pardoned for continuing to scan the Congressional Record, extracts from which we now and then force upon our readers. . : The present offense-will be a few words taken from an address deliv- ered a few days ago by Congressmau John L. Burnett of Alabama. ‘We shall let the Record speak for itself, with. no other comment other than we do.not believe all the things that Mr. Burnett said: Mr. Chairman: I think in the closing days of this extra session some one ought to say a few words in defense of the president. that in his own party he can find no defender in either House of Congress, and as a Democrat I feel that he has done many things worthy of praise from our party, and, in fact, from the people of the whole country. The most important of these is he has made the success of the Democratic party in the next election a certainty. (Applause on the Democratic side). This statement I should make with some-modification. There were other lesser lights that played an important part in bringing about the success of | our party last fall and in assuring-a repetition of that ‘success.in the elec- tion to come next years. Among these were the late lamented Speak- er, and the gentleman from New York, whose name shares the odium of the bill which is perhaps the most execrated legislation ever enacted by the American Congress. (Applause on the Democratic side). In the campaign of 1908 the presi- dent assured the people that the re- vision of the tariff meant revision downward. He knew that no man could be elected who did not make that promise. I am one who believes that the president meant what he said. Did the people get what Mr. Taft promised them? Their answer Iis found in.the 63 Democratic majority elected last fall. Further answer is found in an article by a distinguished Republican United States Senator in the Saturday Evening Post of July 8. Referring to the President’s connec- tion with that monstrosity, the Payne-Aldrich bill, he says: “When the tariff bill passed the House it was condemned the country over as a betrayal of platform pledg- es. It violated platform pledges; nevertheless it received his approval. Not only so, but in his Winona speech he lauded it as the “best ever.” Thig assertion I think the Presi- dent had been led by his evil advis- ers to believe to be true. It shows how the high ideals of a good man can be destroyed by evil surround- ings. In this same article in the Sat- urday Evening Post this Republican Senator, in explaining the President’s violation of his pre-election promis- es, says: “Cannonism,” Mr, Taft said to many progressives in the presiden- tial campaign, was the greatest load he had to carry, and yet at the out- set of his administration he gave his support to Cannon—not passive- ly, but actively. He elected Cannon to the Speakership when he was cer- tain of defeat; he stifled the attempt to modify the House rules,” Those are not my words, but are words of a prominent Republican Senator. Mr, Norris: Mr. Chairman, will the gentleman yield? The Chairman: Does the gentle- man from Alabama yield to the gen- tleman from Nebraska? Mr. Burnett: Yes. Mr, Norris: I want to ask the gen- tleman a question in connection with his attack on the President— Mr. Burnett: I am defending the President, not attacking him. Mr. Norris: Well, defending him. I want to ask why the gentleman did not jump on some one near his size? (Laughter). Mr. Burnett: I think, Mr. Chair- man, that by the time this Congress gets through with the President he will have shriveled up to much less than my size. (Laughter and ap- plause). * * * I felt that my party owed him (the president) this defense, as your lead- ers have said that his reciprocity bill was playing into the hands of the Democracy. It -so, the people owe him much, and I believe in paying what we owe. ~ - I have done what I could to defend It seems him and angels could do no mor (Applause on the Democratic side). Now, Mr. Chairman, permit sanother prophecy, (a8 my reputation in that line {a-well assured. When the long line of -American voters, Democrats and Republicans, march to the polls in November, 1912, they will say, as I have said, “Mr. Taft is an honest man and we like him. But he is at the head of a party whose leaders |’ are bound hand and foot to the char-. fot wheels of dishonest greed. (Ap- plause on:the Demacratic side). He is surrounded by the emissaries of corrupt - monopoly -and can not free himself from their gilded chains. Therefore the only hope for us and |- our.loved ones is'to put a Democra in his seat.” 5 — OOV COOOOOOO® & POLITICS AND POLITICIANS © R R R R R R R RO R R ) The next national convention of the Socialist party probably will be held in Milwaukee. ‘The Socialists of Massachusetts have nominated a complete State ticket, headed by James F. Carey of Haverhill for governor. In all probability the Democrats of Arkansas will determine the State’s choice for the presidential nomina- tion at the regular primary election next March. At a Democratic barbecue in Bos- ton' next month Governor Harmon of Ohio will deliver the first public ad- dress he has made in the East since he became a candidate for the Demo- cratic presidential nomination. ‘When the Illinois Federation of Labor meets in annual session in Springfield in October steps will probably .be taken to create a new political party, for the primary pur- pose of improving labor conditions. There is said to be a possibility that Senator Nelson of Minnesota will not be a candidate for re-election next year. He will be 70 years old at the expiration of his present term, in Mareh, 1913, which date will mark the close of eighteen years of consecutive service in the senate. The National Progressive Demo- cratic League is to be formally launched within a few weeks, when articles of incorporation will be filed at Trenton, N. J. Colonel William C. Liller of Indianapolis is at the head of the organization, which is to be to the Demacratic party what the National Republican Progressive League, organized last year, is to the Republican party. A VALUABLE SUGGESTION Information of Importance to Every- \ one. - A great deal of pain and suffering might be avoided if we had some knowledge of physiology and the care of the body, particularly those parts that do the most work and should al- ways be kept strong and healthy. In an interview with a prominent physician he states that people should pay more attention to their kidneys as they control the other organs to a remarkable degree and do a tremend- ous amount of work in removing the poisons and waste matter from the system by filtering the blood. During the winter months especi- ally, when we live an-indor life, the kidneys should receive some assist- ance when needed, as we take less ex- ercise, drink less water and often eat | more rich heavy food, thereby forc- ing the kidneys to do more work than Nature intended. Evidence of kid- ney trouble, such as lame back, in- ability to hold urine, smarting or burning, brick dusk or sediment, sal- law complexion, rheumatism, may be weak and irregular heart action, warns you that your kidneys require help immediately to avoid more ser- ious trouble. An herbal medicine containing no minerals or opiates has the most heal- ing influence. An ideal herbal com- pound that has had remarkable suc- cess a8 a kidney remedy is Dr. Kil- mer’s Swamp-Root. You may receive a sample bottle of Swamp-Root by mail, absolutely free. Address Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamp- ton, N. Y., and mention the Bemidji Daily Pioneer. Fitting Procedure.
