Those young Chinese rebels are breaking almost as much China as a new servant girl. With coal to buy and Christmas presents lurking in the shadows, baby’s bank is again in jeopardy. They .are trying to tell us that turkeys will be shy and cranberries high. It begins to look like a punk " Thanksgiving. Friends of Senator Clapp will be pleased to learn that he is convalesc- ing. He has declared in favor of ‘women'’s suffrag: After that enthusiaistic meeting of Saturday, it needs no fortune teller to see that the Bemidji creamery is in for a long “churney.” The Weather Man says we are to have a cold snap, but if the common people were to be consulted it would be changed into a ginger snap. President Taft went all the way from Hot Springs to Cincinnati to vote. Now if it were a year hence it might well be worth the effort. “Although I am a democrat I be- lieve in being fair,” writes Senator VanHoven, and the republicans are willing to admit that that is some sort of a concession for a democrat. MARY’S MERRY MISTAKE. There is nothing like going away from home to get the news. We in- trude upon the patience of our read- ers by referring to the following per- sonal comment from our good friend, Mary D. McFadden, alias Miss News and Comments in the Duluth News Tribune, long enough to cite an ex- ample. Says Mary: Mrs. F. A. Wilson writes the short paragraphs for the Bemidji Pioneer. And they are all whit- tled to a point, even if she does sharpen her own pencils. Wg’ve only to say that this will be rather astounding news to Mrs. F. AW, A SOLAR PLEXUS BLOW. To those good folks who really want Northern - Minnesota to have the same sort of representation in the legislature that the remainder of the state has, the announcement of the Pioneer that enough southern sena- tors have pledged themselves to-a -fair reapportionment bill to assure its passage, must come as a cheering message. “Its the same old gang with the same old selfish, stubborh stand,” has been the cry from more-than one per- son who opposes the proposed extra session, and the argument did have a tendency toward conviction= Now come the men who defeated the "Congdon bill and say they will vote a measure giving Northern Min- ‘gesoul representation far and above that offered by the Congdon bill. No one ' questions but that .the House will pass a fair bill by an overwhelming. majority.. If the members of the legislature are ready to admit the passage of such a bill, who, in the North, at least, will not add his voice in the appeal to Governor. Eberhart for im- mediate justice? WHAT THE P ONEER IS AFTER. 1£°John D. Rockefeller were to apen his treasure vaults and offer to the public a hatful of $20 gold- pieces there would be those who would look upon the” proceedings with' a ' look of suspicion and while grabbing some of the golden coins would nudge/their neighbor and whisper: “I wonder what his game ‘ig?” 1t isn’t any surprise to this paper to learn that some folks are whittling up more than one stick ‘while sol- emnly pondering over the mysterious problem of “Wonder what the Pioneer is after on this extra session gag.” It won’t do any good to tell them over again that the Pioneer’s only interest- in obtaining reapportion- ment, is because this paper tries to be a live wire and-that it would profit as much, but no more, as any other enterprise identified with the added prosperity which will come to the North with_proper representation in the legislature. GETTING INTO THE JUNGLE. A side trip into the jungle is given by this week’s issue of Collier’s which tells of a request several months ago to invest in stock of the Duluth, Mesaba & Northern railroad because it is the most prosperous rail- road in the world. Collier’s thinks it ought to be as it pays a dividend of 100 per cent. At that point you arrive at the jungle. The Duluth; Mesaba & Northern railroad is a steel trust property and with the Great Northern carries more than half of all the iron ore in the United States, and while the competing line gets the same rate the steel trust charges itself, Collier's explains that its own charge_is merely taking something from one of its pockets to put it in another. The National Weekly makes the point that this 100 per cent road and all it stands for means a tribute from the common people who buy steel, rent rooms in steel buildings, travel over steel rails or steel bridges. POOOPPPOOROOOO®®O @ Politics and Politicians, @ R R ORI RCY Cyrus Northrop is suggested for congressman-at-large in Minnesota. The Republican national conven- tion next year will consist of 1072 delegates. Council Bluffs, Iowa, will vote next week on the question of adopting the commission plan of government. P. J. Doyle is now serving his fourteenth term as mayor of New- port, R. I, and is a candidate for re- election. Almost 1,000,000 women will be eligible ‘to vote for president of the United States in the national election next year. Hugh L. Nichols, lieutenant gover- nor of Ohio, has completed an exten- sive.tour of the West in the interest of the Harmon presidential candi- dacy. Governor Donaghey of Arkansas intends to make war on the liquor in- terests the leading feature of his campaign for re-election to a third term. A special gubernatorial primary will be held in Georgia on December 7 to choose the successor of Governor Hoke Smith, who is about to resign to take his seat in the United States senate. H. C. Suthon, a prominent attorney of New. Orleans and for a number of years superintendent of the United State mint in that city, is the Re- publican choice for governor of Lou- isiana. North Dakota Republicans are slightly ‘worried over the possibility that Governor John, Burke, -who has headed the Democratic ticket to vie- tory in three successive campaigns, may decide to be a candidate for a fourth term. ‘W. H. Harvey, who acquired pass- ing fame in the first Bryan campaign as the author of “Coin’s Financial School,” recently declined to accept a congressional nomination in Ar- kansas, to which State he removed from Chicago some years ago. For the first time. in the history of New York State the names of the presidential candidates and the vice- presidential candidates are to be on the ballot next year. This is a pro- vision of the new Levy election law. Kentucky -was the first State>to give ‘women the right :to vote. In 1838 that state gave the school suf- frage to widows with children - of school ‘age, Kansas was the first State to grant the school suffrage-to all women, and Wyoming the first-State to give the full suffrage to women. The outlook is bright in Texas: for . significance of the word arises from |the fact that the revolution which | everthrew Robespierre and ended the e = a great free-for-all race for the seat ot Joseph W. Balley in the United States senate. Five candidates are already announced and several more entries are regarded as certain. Two representatives: in - Congress, Morris Sheppard of: the First district and Choice.B. Pandell of the Fourth dis- trict, are among the prominent aspi- rants for the toga. The only States which have no form' of suffrage for women are Ar- kunsas, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Maine, ' Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Tennessee, Ken- tucky, ‘Indiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Texas and Nevada. Even in some of these Siatesthe women-in-the larger cities have been: given the right to vote for school commissioners. A FRENCH CALENDAR. Tha One That:Was .Adopfed-.During the Revolution: In. the- French~Tevolution the na- tional convention adopted a new cal- endar” containing twelve months: of thirty days each. The five days in the year thus left were disposed of by making them “festivals.” The months were named not January,: February, etc., but Vendemaire, -Brumaire, Fri- * maire, Nivose, Pluviose; Ventose, Ger- minal, Floreal, Prairial, Thermidor and Fructidor. Each of these names-had a meaning. Instead of naming a month meaning- lessly after a heathen god, as we name January after.Janus and March after Mars, the names: represented the spe--| cial characteristics of the month Fructidor, for instance, which includes part of what:we- call September, means “the frulty month:” Germinal, the first of the spring months, tunning from the last of:‘March 'to the middle of April, means-f'the month-of buds.” and Flo- real;-which follows it, the “flowery” or “floweral” month. Thermidor, which means-the “hot month,” is the month which under the republican .:alendar Included part of July and part of -Augnst.. The political Messidor, reign of terror occurred on the 9th of the month of Thermidor, or, as we should say, July 27, 1794. It was call- ed “the revolution of Thermidor.” as| we speak of “the September massa- cres,” and the revolutionists were nick- named “Thermidorians.” The inventor of the calendar was Romme.—New York Times. = Fancy Prices In 1849, A tourist lately on the Pacific slope picked up a menu used in 1849, when California was the mecca of gold min- ers. The items and prices in that wild country rdan as follows: “Bean soup, $1; hash, low grade, 75 cents; hash, 18 carat, $1; beef. plain, $1; beef. witbh- one potato, $1.15; baked beans, plain. 75 Cents; baked- beans, greased, $1; two potatoes, 50 cents; two potatoes. peeled 75 cents; rice pudding, 75 cents.

Savad. from: Dangerous. Opera- tion--Neighbor Advised What | to Do for Bladdgr'TrouMa I too, wish to add my testimonial to the thousands you no doubt have, andw ill tell you what your great| medicine did ‘for me. Several months ago I was taken very sick with bladder trouble, had intense pains and suffered greatly, at times 1 could not stand on my feet or sit in a chair and often was forced to ery out with pain. I consulted two doctors who gave me different kinds of medicine, which did me no-good.: It seemed as though the more of their medicine I took, the worse I became. The doctors seemed to be greatly puzzled over my case and after holding a consultation, I was told that I had a severe case ot inflommation of the bladder and an operation was very necessary. I was being prepared to be taken to the hospital, when a neighbor came to my house and said, “Why don’t.you try ab ottle of Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root.” I was willing to try anything to get relief from my suf- fering. My wife bought a bottle of your medicine which I began taking and soon noticed a change for the better. I continued taking it and got better right along, my appetite re- turned and I was able to resume ‘work. I have used about fourteen bottles of Swamp-Root and know- that had I not taken it, I would have been op- erated on, and perhaps, never recov- ered. I never fail to tell my friends about Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root as I know. it will save many people from suffering and perhaps, as in my case, a dangerous operation.

Sihging Wires. : Bometimes when a tempest 18 raging telegraph wires are silent, while in time of calm they are sonorous. Evi- dently the vibration of the wires is not due to atmospherical agitation alone. A sclentist of Berlin who studied the cause of the singing of wires in time of calin concludes. that the vibration of the wires always presages the ap- proach of bad weather. When the sounds are-deep the change of weather ‘may -be looked- for within tws days. When' they ‘are shrill- or sharp the storm will come within a very few -hours. - It is-dificult-to-determine: the cause of the singing.
