Tie moment for action has arrived. - Delegates are streaming into St. Cloud and the next few hours will tell the story as to whether Northern Minnesota is going to push her fight for prompt ‘and proper reapportionment. A striking example of the attitude of those opposing a resolution for an extra session is shown by a letter from Governor Eberhart to A. G. Wedge, Jr, of this city in which the governor takes the stand that a good deal of misrepresentation has been made in reference to the governor’s remarks at Brainerd a year ago and that even had he made an unqualified pledge he would be chary of convening the legislature at this time. Here are the governor’s exact words on this point: i “There would be no excuse for such a session when I have positive in- formation to the’effect that the present senate would not pass a reappor- tionment bill to take effect before the next regular session.” The Daily Pioneer believes the governor is seriously in error when he declares the senate would be guilty of denying just representation to the North and some of our reasons for this conclusion are to be found in ex- pressions from members of the senate printed in the news columns of this issue. The governor says his alleged promise at Brainerd has been distorted and that at the time no newspaper reported him as having made such a declaration. Again his excellency is mistaken and more than one person present at the Brainerd gathering will insist that there was no possibility of misconstruing the attitude assumed by Mr. Eberhart at that time. Again in his letter to Mr. ‘Wedge, the governor hits what he probably Delieves to be his strongest blow, when he says that even if a reapportion- ment bill were to be passed at an extra session it would not go into effect until after the next regular session. Says the governor to Mr. Wedge: “The constitution of this state has been construed to mean that a reap- portionment bill can be enacted at the next regular session of the legisla- ture. " Then in the name of common sense, what possible excuse can there he for calling a special session to pass a reapportionment act to take effect after the regular session.” The governor appears immune from the fear whic‘h shakes the North caused by the oft repeated assertion of some of the keenest attorneys in the state that a reapportionment bill can not be passed at the next regular session because the constitution provides for reapportionment at the ses- sion following the taking of a state or federal census. Contention on this peint dooms reapportionment until 1917, or longer, unless passed by the present legislature. L We are assuming that the governor has been frank, honest and serious in his deductions and that the proposal of railroad legislation distasteful to the men who own the train on which his excellency is rolling about tle country has nothing to.do with the case, and we are optimistic to the peint of belief that if the Northern Minnesota Development association de- mands with dignity, without malice or partisan prejudice, prompt justice, that Governor Eberhart will bow to the will of the people. The St. Cloud meeting marks a crisis in the career of Governor Eber- hart and it marks a crisis in the career of the Northern Minnesota Develop- ment association. i So far as the association is concerned, it should not swerve from a duty 0066006060666 60 THIS DATE IN HISTORY.

Representative Donald Robertson, Argyle: “I certainly favor an extra session and hope Governor Eberhart will see his way clear to fulfill the promise made at Brainerd December 1.” J. U. Williams, Mayor of Baudette: “I am heartily in favor of any move that will bring about reappor- tionment and will vote for a resolu- tion at St. Cloud if one is presented, calling upon the governor to redeem his pledge made at Brainerd last De- cember.” Representative Chas. H. Warner, Aitkin: “In a special session called for the express purpose of reapportioning the state the attention of the entire people of the state will be attracted to the issue and such pressure brought to bear on some of the sen- ators who opposed the Congdon bill, that they would be forced to yield. A fair reapportionment Dbill, enacted into law, would be worth many times the cost of an extra session.” Bunes Stronger Than Oak. The wonderful power of bone struc- ture has been tested scientifically to show how that hollow bone bears strain. 4 very small bone, only one square millimeter (0155 square inch) in diameter, will hold thirty-three pounds in suspension without break- ing, while a piece of the best oak of the sume thickness will hold up only twenty-two pounds. The bone is therefore half again as strong as the solid oak, thus showing that nature is economical in the weight given to bones, makiny; them hollow and at the same time mukes them stronger than if they were solid and much heavier. This principle has been recognized in mechanics, engineers using hollow steel tubes instead of solid to meet great strain.—New York World.

THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER RULES FOR SENDING GIFTS Ship Before December 15; Be Careful About Money and Jewelry. With the approach of Christmas express companies and more especial- ly the men who have to handle the hyndreds -of thousands of Christmas packages, are calling attention to the fact that one does not have to wait until the holidays to begin to ship presents to far-away friends. The companies’ “commandments’ include a number of Among the most important is one against shipping money or jewelry with general merchandise, The rules are: First—Ship your presents early— by December 15, if possible. A “Do not open until Christmas” label will be struck on the package free. This will insure the recipient of having his or her present by Christmas. Second—Use wooden boxes for shipping glass or other fragile ar- ticles. Wooden receptacles are pre- ferable for all classes of shipments. _This will insure the safe transporta- tion of your gift. Third—Write the address in full —state, county, city and number— on the box or package with ink or crayon. Tags are frequently torn off or lost. Fourth——If you want to prepay the charges write the word “Paid” in large letters on the package. Fifth-—Insist upon a receipt andf see that the amount paid and the valte is marked ou the receipt and| on the package. | Sixth—Write your own address in full somewhere upon the package, following the prefix “From.” Seventh-—Inclose a card in each box or package giving both sender’s and consignee’s address. This in or- der that should the outer markings te destroyed the inner mark will in- sure prompt forwarding and deliv- ery. Eighth—If not convenient to ship in wooden boxes, use strong wrap- ping paper—not newspapers—and tie with a strong cord. Ninth—I1f the package contains anything of a perishable nature, write the word “Perishable” in large, plain letters on the box or package, which will call for special attention and delivery. Tenth—Don’t put money or jewels with the merchandise. Send them through the money order depart- ment. The Christmas business aready has started according to the manag- ers of the express companies and gifts areé now being shipped all over the world.
