The return of that ten year old egg at Wadena goes to show that all eggs are not what they are cracked.up to be. The amalgamated association of grave diggers their demand for a longer hunting season. are unanimous in It begins to look -as if Taft might be re-elected after all. Congressman Steenerson has declared in favor of LaFollette. Not satisfied with having broken his contract, Aviator Hugh Robinson fell at Wichita, Kansas, the other day and broke his collar bone. A tornado broke loose Saturday af- ternoon in the vicinity of Springfield, Illinois, and did almost as much dam- age as the election of a United States senator. * As Governor Eberhart has said that the poor railroads are not even pay- ing a 7 per cent dividend, the Man- kato Free Press suggests that a bene- fit performance be given for the poor things. Sure. Or still better, let the legislature give a matinee for the benefit of Mr. Common People. CHEER UP. The Crookston Daily Times, a con- temporary which we hold in more than ordinary esteem, is pessimistic to the point of despair over the hold- ing of an extra session of the legis- lature because it feels that nothing is certain to be accomplished and adds that while the Bemidji Pioneer is right in its contention that there is something wrong, that we have failed to show that any of the wrongs will be righted by a special session. The Times has not been reading the Pioneer as closely as it should or it would feel in a happier mood for this paper has printed statements from more than one southern senator who voted against: the Congdon bill as- serting that he stands ready to vote for a fair reapportionment bill. This attitude, on the part of the south, would, we believe, with the deter- mined backing of the North, win the fight, The doleful deductions of the Minneapolis Journal along this line also will be given some attention in the near future. In the meantime, dear Times, and Journal, too, and all other faint-hearted friends of reap- portionment, cheer up! There’s’ a victory in sight. THE SOVERNOR AND"HIS OATH. Under the caption,” Has: An ‘Oath of Office any Meaning: in Minnesota?” the Duluth ‘Evening Hen.ld in its leading editorial says' “The Constitution. of ‘the state of MONDAY, WoVEidEE 16, . a legislative reapportionment by the| Dresent legislature. “Governor -Eberhart and the mem- bers of thel egislature have taken an oath of office by which they solemnly/ swore to obey the Constitution. “If there is no reapportionment by the - present legislature, ‘Governor Adolph O. Eberhart and the members. of the legislature will have violated their oaths of office. “And Governor Eberhart will be twice guilty of bad faith because he not only swore to obey "the Constitu- tion, which commands reapportion- ment-by-this-legistature, but & also promised Northern Minnesota that if the legislature ‘failed to provide re- apportionment at the regular session he would call an extra session for that purpose: 2 “The plain meaning of ‘the Consti- tution is that representation in the legislature | SHALL be apportioned equally in proportion to population, and that whenever a census discloses the fact that it is not so apportioned; the legislature SHALL reapportion-it. “It is not a matter that is in the discretion of the governor or the leg- islature, as some seem-to suppose. It is not discretionary, but mandatory. “Section 2 of Article IV of the state Constitution' says: ‘The representa- tion in both houses SHALL be appor- tioned equally throughout the differ- ent sections of the state, in propor- tion to the population thereof, ex- clusive of Indians not taxable under the provisions of law.’ “The Constitution doesn’t say that representation ‘may’ be apportioned equally according to population. It says that it SHALL be. “Section 23 of the same article creates the machinery. It says that the legislature shall provide for a state census every ten years, and that after every such census, and after every Federal census, the legislature ‘shall have the power to prescribe the |bounds of congressional, senatorial and representative districts, and to apportion anew the senators and rep- resentatives among the several dis- tricts according to the provisions of Section 2 of this article.” “But, say the enemies of reappor- tionment and an extra session, this does not say the legislature ‘shall’ re- apportion, but that it ‘shall have the power’ to do so. “True, and it was not necessary or wise that it should say ‘shall.’ The Constitution, in Section 2 of this ar- ticle, already had said ‘shall,’ and had said it in such a way that its meaning could not be mistaken. The legislative apportionment must AT ALL TIMES be equal throughout the state according to population. If the word ‘shall” appeared in Section 23, it would mean that the legislature would have to reapportion whether it was necessary or not and the framers of the Constitution wished to provide for it only when it was necessary. “The plain meeting of these two sections in this: if a state of Feder- al census shows the legislative ap- portionment to be unfair, it is the duty of the legislature under the Constitution to reapportion, and the duty of the governor under his oath of office to set that it reapportions. If there has been no growth, or if growth has been equally distributed, so that no reapportionment is needed, then none is required. “But the Federal census of 1910 showed glaring discrepancies. It showed senatorial districts with 12,- 000 people possessed of the same leg- islative power as districts with 75,- 000 people. “Under the Constitution, and the oaths of office taken to obey and en- force that Constitution, it is the duty of the governor and the legislature to provide reapportionment, “The governor has promised North- ern Minnesota that he will do his duty. If he does it, and calls the legislature in extraordinary session, a reapportionment bill can and will be passed. Under his oath of office, if it has as much meaning to him as the commands of special interests which fear the legislation that would come out of an extra session, it is his duty to call the legislature together. It would have been his duty if he had not promised to do it. His promise and his oath make it doubly his duty. " “Governor Eberhart must call an extra session or prove recreant to his public duty and false to his oath and promise.” Considerate.

I An Eye For Lines. “The last time 1 was here [ saw that same woman,” said the man who was waiting for his. eyeglasses to be- ad- Jjusted. The optician looked across the. rooni to.a little woman in faded black. “Yes,” he said. “and if you should be here three months from today you would see-her-again. three months. She is a palmist. No- body gives closer attention to the eves than the professional palmist. Most of them wear glasses, and they ‘visit an optician regularly. With every change 1in their eyes their glasses are changed They have to do that to keep tr: of all the fine lines in their client hands. “They have keen eyes themselves. those persons who patronize palmists. of little straggling lines-and ask what they mean. If the palmist can’t see the lines herself she is likely to get into trouble.”—New York Times. " , Modest Ma “In November, 1875." writes Marie Bashkirtsev, “the great day of the opera, I was nervous-all day. 1 Wore a white muslin jupe unie (whatever that may be) with a wide frill at the bot- tom; corsage Marie Stuart and coiffure in barmony with the gown. A very beautiful affair. Every one admired me: About the middle of the perform- ance the feeling swept over me that | was beautiful to distraction. At the close I 'make my way out between two lines of gentlemen who stare them- selves blind; and their verdict-is not an unfavorable one. One feels that. Coming home, I looked at myself in the glass. I was like a queen, like a por- trait tbat had stepped out of its frame. What a misfortune it is that instead of ‘these pen scratches I cannot draw my portrait as L was then—my mar- velous complexion, my golden hair, my eyes black like the night, my mouth, my figure!” Synonmys.

YOUR GRAY HAIRS A Harmless Remedy, Made From Garden Sage, Restores Color to Gray Hair. A feeling of sadness accompanies the discovery of the first gray hairs, which, unfortunately, are looked up- on’as heralds of advancing age. Gray hairs, however, are not always an indication' of advancing age, for many people have gray hairs quite early in life. Of course it is unna- tural, and indicates that there is something wrong with the individ- ual, and that Nature needs assist- ance in correcting the trouble. The same is true of hair that is constant- ly falling out and becomingthinner every day. 'If everything is right with Nature, the hair, even in com- paratively elderly people, should. be long, thick and glossy, without even a streak of gray. The ideal assistant to Nature in restoring and preserving the hair is Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy, a clean and wholesome dressing for daily use. It not only removes dandruff, but strengthens weak, thin and falling hair and pro- motes. its growth. A few applica- tions will restore faded or gray hair to ‘its natural color.

KEEPTHE KIDNEYS WELL Hesdlth is Worth Saving, and Somel Bemidji People Know How to ' Save It. Many Bemidji people take their lives in their ‘hands by neglecting the kidneys when they know these organs need help. Sick kidneys are responsible for'a vast amount of suf- fering and ill health—the slightest delay is dangerous. Use Doan’s Kid- ney Pills—a remedy that has cured thousands of ‘kidney sufferers. Here is a Bemidji citizen’s recommenda- I tion. B. Carisch, 621 Fifth St.,, Bemidji, Minn,, says: “For many years I suf- fered from kidney and bladder trou- ble.- My back pained me almost con- stantly and the secretions from my kidneys were irregular in passage. I used a great many remedies, but nothing helped me permanently until I procured Doan’s Kidney Pills. I feel that they have permanently rid my system of kidney complaint, for I am now free from every symptom of it.” For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents.
