In 48 more working days the Northern Minnesota Development as- sociation will convene at St. Cloud. This leaves none too much time in which to organize the forces of the North to make that convention by all odds the most memorable in the brief but already brilliant history of the organization. None too much time in which to fill the delegates who are to jam the St. Cloud convention hall’ with en- thusiasm - in their demand for a square deal. None too much time in which to impress Governor Eberhart with the deadly earnestness of the North in its demand for an extra session to pass a reapportionment bill. No one questions what would hap- pen if the St. Cloud convention pass- es a resolution calling upon Governor Eberhart to pledge. redeem his PBrainerd The governor never has said that he would not call an extra session for this purpose, and even if he had, unless he wanted to commit political suicide, he could not defy the wishes of the people of 31 of the most popu- lous counties of the state. You see that puts it squarely up to Northern Minnesota to say whether she proposes to permit the south to continue with representatives to 14,- 000 persons while the Northern dis- tricts with populations of 58,000 or 80,000 have but one man to look af- ter their interests. No one, for months and months and months, has dared to say that there shouldn’t be a reapportion- ment. 1t is up to you, people of the North, to say whether that rank injustice shall be righted now—or whether we shall wait until 1917 and then go through the same fight we are going through and again run the risk of Permitting a few senators who are glued to office to permit the will of a majority of the people to go to Jericho.

How would you: like to be the gover- nor? l Who cares anything about a war with Turkey when there is a base- ball series on? - This one must be good for all the papers are running it: .“Italy is a Turkey gobbler.” The Minneapolis Journal correctly age—it will get there if you give it time enough. ABOUT THE CURFEW ORDINANCE. it Although it appears that many children do not know it, Bemidji has a curfew ordinance. It reads fine. Its provisions are stringent. For one thing it provides that beginning October 1 all children must be off the streets at 8 p. m. As regularly as the sun goes down at night, the bell in the City Hall peals out its warning at 8 p. m. But the bell streets. doesn’t clear the It might as well be the old liberty bell, apparently, so far as the children are concerned, for the boys and girls continue to play about the streets until they get ready to quit. The conditions here were bad enough to attract the attention of the recent grand jury and to cause that body to dip from county into municipal affairs by calling upon the council to pass a curfew ordinance. The grand jury didn’t know that there already was an ordinance but it did know that children were scat- tered in different parts of the town until late in the night. During the past week small boys and girls have scampered about the streets not only after the 8 o’clock bell but even 9, 10 and up to 11 p. m. The police can’t be expected to patrol the town with its limited force to clear the children, but this much could be done; a few could be-gath- ered in and handled in such a way as to give the careless parents who per- mit these things to understand that a curfew ordinance is passed for the safety of the boys and girls and that it is not to be ignored. R R R R R A R R R ROR R ) ® Politics and Politicians. ® R R R RO RN} Congressman Underwood of Alaba- ma has been making speeches in be- half of the Democratic ticket in Ken- tucky, of which state he is a native. New York state with its ninety delegates to the national conventions of the two parties next year will practically make up one-tenth of tie conventions. Five states, North Dakota, Wiscon- sin, Nebraska, Oregon and New Jer- sey, will by law choose delegates to the national conventions next year by direct vote. Richard Yates, who was governor of Illinois from 1901 to 1905 has announced his intention to seek the Republican nomination for the office again next year. Associate Justice W. P. Ramsey of the Texas supreme court, who is known as a strong advocate of pro- hibition, will try for the Democratic nomination for governor of Texas. According to political rumor in II- linois an unsuccessful effort has been 'made to induce Senator Cullom to withdraw from the race for re-elec- tion in favor of Governor Deneen. United States Senator W. Murray Crane has assumed the active leader- ship of the Republican party in Mas- sachusetts, and is directing the fight to prevent the re-election of Gover- nor Foss. 2 Congressman Arthur L. Bates, who has represented one of ‘the Pennsyl- vania districts in the House for ‘the past ten years, has announced his intention to retire at the end of his present term. Now close to his eightieth year, John P. St. John, who was the Pro- hibition candidate for president in 1884, is spending the evening of his| life in quiet retirement at his home in Clathe, Kas. 1t is said the Republican Progres- sive League of Tllinois is planning to put a full state ticket in the field for the Republican primary election next year, when a governor and other state officials will be elected. Congressman Morris = Sheppard, who appears to be one of the most prominent aspirants for the seat of Joseph W. Bailey in the United States senate, has represented the First Texas district since he was 26 years old. A spirited three-cornered race is on in Georgia to succeed Hoke Smith as governor. The contestants are J: Pope Brown, former state treasurer; Joseph M. Brown, former governor, and Richard B. Russell, judge of the court of appeals. S The National Republican Commit- tee, at its meeting in Washington in may be just| Decembef, probably: will decidé wfid‘lfi shall direct thé campaign next year, though the definite choice of a man= ager will not be announced until the nominating convention is held. * At the uext regular state election in Colorado the voters will be called upon to select two United States sen- ators—one for the full term ‘of six years to succeed Simon Guggenheim and one for the unexpired term of | two years, caused by the death of the late Charles J. Hughes. What is Your Family Worth? If your family is worth best you can afford in house and food and clothes, is it not worth the best read- ing as well? And the best reading— best for boys and girls, best for men and women—is to be found in The Youth’s Companion. . Of stories alone The Companion will print nearly 300 in 1912. With all the:rest of the paper thrown in, and counting the glorious long serial stories, they cost the “subscriber less than a cent apiece. Moreover, you will look long before you will find stories so varied and interesting— stories of coolness in the face of per- il, strange adventures with creatures of the forest and the sea, moving stories of life’s obscure heroisms, stories breezy with good-natured hu- mor, quaint and curious character sketches. Now is the time to subscribe, for you will receive free from the time your $1.75 is received all the issues for the remaining weeks of 1911, containing the opening chapters of Ralph D. Paine’s great serial story of the Boxer rebellion, “The Cross and the Dragon.” And there is the gift of The Companion Calendar for 1912, “On the New England Coast,” litho- graphed in ten colors and gold.
