Campaign Contributions. The Clapp investigating committee now sitting in Washington is bring- ing to light some interesting facts in connection with the funds of past presidential campaigns. They come to light at a peculiarly appropriate time. ' To the average voter, the testi- -mony of J. Pierpont Morgan, Per- kins, Crane, Archbold and the others will show conclusively that which- ever party wins, the trusts these these men represent will continue to hold the bag Several of them have testified that they gave equal sums, amounting to hundreds of thous- ands of dollars, to each party. In their testimony they say that they gave this money for their love of country and interest in the wel- fare of the people, but it will take more than such a bare statement to convince those same people that such an unselfish interest was worth many thousands of dollars. °* The average man looks with strong ‘suspicion on the “interest in the com- mon people” which impels such largejdayA donations to both parties. For a Natural Preserve. When speaking before the Com- while here, Eberhart urged that the city at once get possession of the strip of Nor- way pine at the head of the lake. He said that it will be too late once it is cut and that the city should be looking ahead and providing play grounds for the generations to come. mercial club Governor “In a few years,” said the gover- nor, “such stands of timber as the tract at the head of the lake will be so rare that people will come miles to see them. [ believe that the state can aid you in securing that tract. Once it is secured, a lodge, such as Douglas lodge at the Itasca. state ‘park, could be erected and the place would prove a2 mecca for motorists. “You men should take into consid- eration the fact that Bemidji will be the junction point north and south state roads and the road west from Duluth. What will be easier in a year or two than for mo- torists to run from the Twin Cities to the Itasca state park, make another run to Bemidji and stay at the head of the lake, tinue north or go east and visit some of the parks north and west of Du- luth? From Duluth to the Twin Cit- ies there is now a good auto road. “1 believe that Bemidji has a fu- of one of the and then either con- ture and will continue Lo grow even after the lumber mills have gone. The city should be looking ahead to the time when there will be little or no virgin timber left and plan to save some so that it will be a mecca for tourists.” The suggestion of the governor that the city secure the tract at the head of the lake contains nothing new but coming from -such a source adds interest to the question. State Forester Cox has already been ap- proached on the proposition and has intimated that if the city will go ahead with the matter, the state may be in a position to lend some finan- <cial aid. Every year that passes sees the value of that stand of pine in- crease and action should be taken in the matter at once. THIS DATE IN HISTORY.

Madero, president of Mexico, was born October 4, 1873, in the State of Coahuila, in Northern Mexico, where his family had long been wealthy and prominent. He was educated abroad, principally in France. When he returned home he assumed the active management of the rubber and cotton plantations ‘belongin'g to his family. His spare time he devoted .to literary pursuits. Until 1909 he was known only for his vast wealth and literary attain- ments. About that time he began an attack with his pen upon the al- leged abuses of the Diaz government and this brought him into public prominence. Soon he came to be re- garded as a leader of the opposition to Diaz and in 1910 he became a candidate for president of the repub- lic. His candidacy was one of the causes of the revolution that fol- lowed. Though without knowledge of military matters, Madero proved a capable leader and after months of fighting he overthrew the strong dictatorship of Diaz and succeeded him in the presidency.

PUZZLING THE EAST (Continued from first page). Blake Russell a large number of wit- nesses have appeared at the present, hearing to identify the claimant as the son of Daniel B. Russell. - Of these, some have known him for for- ty and others for twenty-five years. They knew him intimately in many cases, and were acquainted with the peculiarities and characteristics of his youth. One of the most import- ant of the recent witnesses has been the former sweetheart of Daniel Blake Russell, Miss Hattie M. Keith, who told on the stand of her friend- ship with the long missing son of the late Daniel Russell. With great positiveness Miss Keith declared that Daniel Blake Russell and “Dakota Dan”, the claimant, are the same per- son. To oppose the claim of “Dakota Dan” and the testimony of his wit- nesses, the respondents, William C. Russell and Ferdinand B. Almy, the latter of whom is said to have had the entire administration of the es- tate since the death of Daniel Rus- 'sell, have declared that the claimant is an impostor and have undertaken ‘to prove that he is not Daniel Blake Russell, but James Delbert Ruseau, who was born of poor parents in Bom- bay, N. Y., in 1865. Not the least remarkable feature of the contest has been the part | played by the man called “l"‘resnoI Dan,” who mysteriously appeared on the scene when the first trial of the case was near an end. “Fresno Dan” was taken into the home of ‘William C. Russell and was publicly accepted as the long missing heir, though so far as is known none of the older residents of Melrose ; was i able to detect any resemblance be- tween “Fresno Dan” and the miss- ing Daniel Russell.
