Minnesota Development association and home of its secre- tary, should be the one place above all others to begin anew the fight for fair play in the legislature. That it isn’t fair that under-represented Northern Minnesota should suffer at the hands of over-represented southern Minne- sota, is too well known to need comment. On the threshold of a magical transformation from a timbered to a farm dotted domain, Northern Minnesota is most in need of legislation. S . The only way to get it is to have servants of the North in the capitol at St. Paul. ~ The only way to get them theress to wipe out the present un- just apportionment of representation and replace it with an{ equitable one. b At Brainerd in December of last year Governor Eberhart told the Northern Minnesota Development association that unless the legislature passed a reapportionment bill he would reassemble it for that purpose. The lawmakers met, a reapportionment bill was introduced ; it passed the house but objection was raised in the senate on the ground that the cities were to be over-presented, and the bill failed. But as that measure sank into the waters of defeat the last gurgle heard was from a senator from the south who declared | he was ready to vote for a bill that would be fair to the North. Never at any time, in house or senate, did anyone deny the fact that the North was entitled to more representation. Following the defeat of the first reapportionment bill a‘second one was drawn by close friends of tlie North and was introduced by Senator A. L. Hanson of this district. This was only a few days before the day set for final adjourn- ment. The bill never was considered. . It can not be said that the legislature would not pass a bill that would be fair to the North; a bill providing, as did the one introduced by Senator Hanson, a representative for every county. The expense of reconvening the legislature should not be urged, as an argument against such a move for a fair representation to the North would mean that the cost of reassembling thé.lawmak- ers would be gained many times over. . There has been agitation for an extra session to pass railway legislation, and while the Pioneer has not thought that some of the things asked for along that line were all that might be de- sired: it quickly is apparent that, when common people must pay three cents a mile to travel and freight rates must boost the al- ready alarmingly high cost of every day necessities, railroad leg- islation is in itself an important issue, and in -event of an un- favorable decision on the Minnesota rate cases by the federal su- preme court January 8 next, the railroad question would be of enough importance to call together the lawmakers. But any railroad legislation possible at this time or any other legislation is, in the opinion of the Pioneer, secondary to the great overshadowing issue of reapportionment. This must not be taken in the light of an attack on Governor Eberhart. It simply is an effort to show him that the North is ready to fight for her rights. It is true that the governor has “said he would issue a call for an extra session, but he did not say when that call would be issued. It is reasonable to presume that if the St. Cloud convention is definite on the point that there should be an extra session, the governor would bow to the will of that powerful organization, standing as it does behind the North. The Pioneer calls upon all citizens to force the fight, and in the interests of this part of the state and in behalf of their own in- terest it ‘calls upon the newspapers to join in the crusade to make the voice of the North thunder its demands at the St. Cloud con- vention. o ox THE WORLD MOVES ON—IN THE WEST. California has done what Minnesota has failed to do. It has told its women that they are entitled to vote. No longer will the mothers of the Pacific’s greatest commonwealth be obliged to see drunken bums, illiterate negroes and bribed scoundrels march to the polls, a power in the government while they, many of them taxpayers, look on with tear-dimmed eyes. “Let woman stay at home where she belongs, bringing up her children as they should be and she will wield an influence greater than mixing in politics with men—they wouldn’t vote anyhow.” There you have the sole argument against woman’s suffrage. A baser slander on American womanhood never was uttered. The American mother who does train her boy and girl best is apt to be the first woman to cast her vote to purify politics; to make her vote.off- set the iniquitous ballot of the crook, the unintelligent citizen and that vampire of society, the man who sells his vote. You can not tell the women of Colorado, the women of Utah, the women of Idaho, Washington or Wyoming, that they do not appreciate the ballot —they have it, and the decent, honest men of those states would teil you that they are glad of it, too. " Slowly the Union is reaching that point where women will have some- thing to say as to who shall have the power in the government which holds the destinies of their children. A stubborn senate, by one vote, blocked putting this question up to the voters of Minnesota at the coming election. But Minnesota will swing into line. Women some day will vote here. Eventually—why not now? s & % Now that Senator Clapp has signified his willingness to dine with Presi- dent Taft when he comes to Minnesota, it will be interesting to know what the president will have to say about it. < x ox ox If the mayor of Indianapolis really wants some potatoes, he should come to Beltrami county.

The statement of Mr. Williard, the soil expert of- the-Northern Pacific railway and a recognized authority in everything pertaining to the agri- cultural possibilities of the soil, as contained in another column in this issue, is certainly a gratifying one. While Beltrami county will get the greater benefit from it, the entire north will profit. There can be but little doubt but that real permanent settlement of this section will soon begin, and with it will come last- ing prosperity. It is a pity that road development has not progressed as it should to the point where the set- tling process could have been aided and not hindered as it will be, but it seems probable that a determined effort to get roads will be the pre- dominant feature from this on.— Littleforks Times. PYRAMID OF CHEOPS. It Would Take.a Hundred Millions to Duplicate It Today. One of the most familiar questions asked by “personally conducted” tour- i5ts visiting Egypt and the great pyra- mid built by Cheops is, “1 wonder how much it cost to build it?" A building contractor with a head for figures and building estimates has estimated that the Cheops pyramid could not be dupli- cated today for less than $100,000,000. With modern machinery and the em- ployment of 40,000 stonecutters, haul- a duplicate of the pyramid could be erected in two years. It has been calculated that the work really required the services of 100,000 men for -thirty years. The Cheops pyramid occupies a-space of 12% acres and is 746 feet high and contains 143,- 315,000 cubic-yards of stone and gran- ite. The material alone represents an item of $36,000,000, while the labor ‘would increase this about by $72,000,- 000. _To this must be added $3,000,000 for tools, transportation and similar items. The pyramid is built on a solid rock 150 feet deep, and to build a foun- dation of this character would add to the cost to the extent of making the total of $100,000,000.—New York World. Too Late to Change. “A man can no more change his rep- utation than he can change his face or his arms,” said a sengtor at a ban- quet. “There was once a wicked old mil- llonaire, who took his pastor agide and said: “‘I'm going to retire, Dr. Thirdly. I'm going to devote the remainder of my life to doing good.” “Dr. Thirdly, an outspoken man, re- torted: “‘Do you mean John H. Good, the ‘wealthy farmer, or young Sam Good, the Socialist millionaire? "—Exchange. Spoke From Experience. ‘Willie Good—Pa, our teacher says that “collect” and “congregate” mean the same thing.. Rev.
