R R R R R R RO RO ORI of QOO VPVPOOPOVPPPPPOOOOOOOOCOOOOOGLOS POPOPVOPPVPIVPIVRVPOIVPPOVVOOPVIOOPOOOO® With Edward Gearlds it seems to be a case of out agin, in agin, held agin. There is a spreading suspicion that Governor Eberhart is one of those who like to skate on thin ice. ‘Whether Bemidji gets a new rail- road or not, this much is true. she already is on the highway to pros- perity. Another picture the Pioneer hopes to be able to present its readers is one of the Minnesota legislature in extra session. It is more than likely that the drunk and disorderly visitor ~who kicked in a $40 plate window is, by this time, much “paned” over his actions. At Warroad a farmer raised rutabagoes so large that four of them fill a barrel. There is only one big- ger thing world—the coal man’s bill. in the OR DENY. On to St. Cloud. Perhaps Gov- ernor KEberhart has a promise or two he wishes to give out. DANGEROUS GROUND. “I am of the opinion that should make good roads and the sale and development of state lands the leading questions for discussion at St. Cloud,” says W. A. McGonagle of Duluth. Isn’t this rather an astound- ing position for one who has been we so prominent in Northern Minunesota Development associations affairs? Have the people of the North been mistaken in the importance of the reapportionment issue? Was all the fuss and hurrah and “we must have reapportionment first to get the oth- er needed reforms” at Brainerd last year merely a demonstration of hot air? If the one great issue before the Brainerd convention was reap- portionment it would seem that it still must be the biggest problem the North has to solve. IT DOESN'T SEEM POSSIBLE. It doesn’t seem possible that Gov- ernor Eberhart will seek refuge be- hind the word “distorted” in an at- tempt to dodge his Brainerd declara- tion on reapportionment. His enemies may yearn for such a thing to come about; his real friends see political suicide in such an at- tempt. Governor, Eberhart went on record at the Brairerd convention in favor of reappor- tionment a couple of days after the world comes to an end, but reappor- tionment at once; at an extra session of the legislatdxte if need be. Governor Eberhart could deny that pledge from now until the time Bry- an is elected president of the United States and the North would still hold him to account for it. Any effort on the part of the gov- ernor to start a game of “tag--you’re it” is apt to find him in a strenuous game of pomp-pomp-pullaway. The governor appeared as a friend of the North and the North showed her appreciation by giving Eberhart a substantial vote at last year’s elec- reapportionment—not, reapportionment tion. So we say it doesn’t seem possible that Governor Eberhart will make the mistake of attempting to hedge on his Brainerd talk. It seems more probable that he will let the conven- tion know that he is ready and wil- ling to call the promised extra ses- sion. If he says that, the windows will rattle with approval; if he doesn’t, it will be a tribute to the politeness of the men of Northern Minnesota if there isn’t some sort of an unpleasant demonstration. NEWS FORECAST FOR THE COMING WEEK. Governors and legislatures will be chosen in a few of the states next Tuesday and there will be some local elections of decided importance. Gov- ernors are to be elected in five states —Kentucky, Maryland, Massachu- setts, Mississippi and Rhode Island. The Democrats are certain of Missis- sippi and appear almost equally con- fident of winning Kentucky. Massa- chusetts, Rhode Island and Maryland may be classed as doubtful, with the chances favoring the Republicans in the two New England states and the Democrats in Maryland. Of almost equal interest with the state elections are the contests in Philadelphia and New York. In the first-named city it is a fight to ov'erthrow the Repub- lican “ring,” while in New York it is a repetition of the old, old fight to down Tammany Hall. * ¥ % President Taft will leave Hot Springs, Va., Monday ‘night for cinnati, where he will vote at the lo- cal elections the folluwiné day. Wed- nesday will be spent in Louisville and from there he will go to Frankfort and Hodgeville to participate in the dedication of the Lincoln Farm Mem- orial. Saturday he will pay hurried visits to Nashville, Sewanee and Chattanooga: before returning to Washington. L The 100th anniversary of tha bat- tle of Tippecanoe, fought near Lafa- yette Ind., will be celebrated Tues- day with exercises on the battlefield.

The first British trade union con- gress was held in 1868. A Scandinavian lodge of machin- ists has been founded in Boston. Cleveland, Ohio, will soon have a union owned and operated bakery. The cotton indfstry of England men. employs many more women than Almost 536,000 workmen are killed or -injured every year in Amer- ican industry. Many Japanese factory workers work sixteen hours a day for seven days a week and hardly ever get a holiday. The Illinois Federation of Labor has resolved by referendum vote against the proposal to form a strict- ly labor political party. For the use of immigrants a two- story hotel with sleeping accommo- dations for 2,200 persons has recently been opened at Buenos Aires. A movement for a national pension | for firemen was launched at the four- teenth annual convention of the Na- tional Firemen’s association. The United Eextile Workers, at their recent annual convention in New York City, voted in favor of affiliating with the International Textile Workers’ Alliance of Europe. Officials of the Chesapeake % Ohio company, including President George W. Stevens have formed a model town company and will erect a village for workingmen at the new C. & O. shop- town Silver Grove, Ky., about 13 miles from Cincinnati. Not less than $5,000,000 was paid for the relief of the unemployed mem- bers of trade unions, out of the mon- ey in the unicn treasuries last year. These expenditures do not include several million dollars paid in strike and lockout benefits. The wages board act, now law in most Australian states, whereby the union nominates three, the employer three and these six appoint the sev- enth their chairman, thus creating a legal board which fixes wages and hours for two or three years, was obtained by unions. NEW METHODIST CHURCH TO BE USED FOR FIRST TIME ON SUNDAY MORN REV. CHARLES E. FLESHER. Pastor under whose direction new Methodist edifice has been erected in Bemidji. The new First Methodist Episco- pal Church of Bemidji will be oc- cupied at the regular morning ser- vice tomorrow for the first time. | The old Methodist Church burmed | July 19, 1909. After long waiting a new church was begun a year ago, the foundation being built to the water table and a roof floor laid. This was all that could be done att hat time. Work was resumed in July of this year, D.S. Whittemore of Detroit having the contract. His work was finished August 8. Work of finish- ing was then carried on by the men of the church and it was made ready for the plasterers about the last of September. Tt is beautiful new structure, when completed, will be thoroughly mod- ern and will be one of the most artistic public buildings of the city. At the present time the congrega- tion will occupy the basement which will be used for church services and the mid week devotional meetings and for all social purposes for which the church may have need. “The members of the church great- ly appreciate the assistance of the people of this city enabling them to have such a commodious building,” says Rev. Charles H. Flesher. “It is planned to begin the work of the auditorium next spring.” BEMIDJT'S MODERN NEW METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH.
