A bulletin from the University of Minnesota shows that the total at- tendance this year so far is 279 less than a year ago. The figures are as follows for the different colleges: College 1911 1912 Academic 1606 1447 Agriculture . 318 400 Engineering . . 365 371 Law . . 305 196 Medicine . 158 Dentistry . 241 Pharmacy . 67 67 Mines . .. 98 93 Chemistry . 83 94 Education . . 7% 38 Graduate . .. 32 16 3400 3121 The figures are quoted at this time to show that while the total enroll- ment fell off in spite of the fact that some colleges snow increases, the College of Agriculture shows the largest increase, it having twenty- five per cent more than in 1911. The figures show conclusively that more men and women are taking up the scientific study of agriculture. Students are admitted to this col- lege of the University only after hav- ing completed four years in a high or preparatory school. The Two Party Standard. The question whether a third par- ty can be of any material service to the country is just now 'acute, be- cause an attempt is being made to form one. Putting aside the fact that the Progresive party is not as yet consistently’ a third party, but is in some states merely a Republi- can protest, in others a merger of dissatisfied Republican and Demo- crats, in still others a national par- ty, but without state existence, the fact remains that the Propressive party has a national platform and a national candidate and is making a national campaign, on the ground that the two other national parties have outlived their. usefulness. Is there room for a third party? Could it even by success contribute to the improvement of politics and administration? Can the people be permanently divided into three par- National his- tory says no. Every attempt to form a third party has had one of three results. It has lost out entirely, or it has been merged in one of the older parties. The Populist party lost out entirely. The Greenback party was merged into the Democra- tic party. The Whig party was ab- sorbed by the Republican party. The net result in each case was a return to the two party system. ties instead of two? Rationally a self-governing people can have but two alignments, There must be a majority and a minority. A third party involves.another and an illogical alternative, a plurality. This ideal -cannot be said to have It is good for a protest, for a lesson, may- be, but it is not good for comstitu- tional government. The two party idea has brought us a long way. The only reason for entertaining this idea is that party organizations sometimes grow stiff- necked. The rank and file are as malleable under the impact of ideas as ever, but the leaders are not. In such an exlgency nearly ev- erybody recognizes the need of some action. Shall it be the formation of a new party, the reformation of the old from within, or a desertion to ‘the opposition? The first method has uniformly failed. The second is sometimes tortuous and slow. The third is always open. The people can get action by moving. A few years ago this was more difficult. Change from one party to another involved, social, sometimes even bus- iness embarassments. But that has passed. A man may move from one party to the other without in the least losing caste. This points to the true and effec- tive way of reforming parties in the country. If the ome you are in is hopelesly at fault, you need not stay in it. You can declare yourself in- dependent, vote the other into pow- er and thus get the government start- ed on another line. Nothing clari- fies a party’s ideas like a season in the wilderness. If it has virility, if it has ideas necessary to the admin- istration it will come back repentant of its former sins and purified of its former errors. The third party doesn’t advance, but retards this pro- cess.—The Minneapolis Journal. THIS DATE IN HISTORY.

THIS IS MY 39th BIRTHDAY. George Cram Cook George Cram Cook, well known as an author, was born in Davenport, Iowa, October 7, 1873. He spent| three years at the University of Io- wa and later engaged in higher stud- jes at Harvard and the University of Geneva. Since the completion of his education he has had a most diversi- fied career. He tramped over the greater part of Europe and upon his return to America he enlisted in the army for the Spanish war. He visit- ed Mexico, taught schol for a num- ber of years and tried his hand at truck farming before settling down to a career of writing and political activities. Of late‘years he has made his home in his native city of Daven- port, where he was a Socialistic candidate Tor congress two years ago.

The nail drove part of his black woolen sock far up into his foot. He remov- ed as much of the sock as he could, put on Allen’s Ulcerine Salve, and kept right on with his work. The salve drew out parts of the sock and all other poisons and in a week his foot was healed up. _ - This salve is one of the oldest rem- edies in America and since 1869 it has been known as the only salve powerful enough to cure chronic ulcers and old sores of long standing. Allen’s Ulcerine Salve acts by drawing out the poisons and healing the sore from the bottom up. It is so powerful that it heals new cuts and sores in one-third the time that |common salves and liniments take. And it heals scalds and burns with- works include “Glimpses of Floren- FRAARIIIR R KRR RK WE RETURN *hkkKk Today pictures made from ¥ the films you send in this ¥ morning. * Enlarging, Framing, Copying. ¥ kg gk ko kk ok ok ke * Kk HAKKERUP +* Third St. * * FRFRIRARIR IR IR ifit{iifiii*{ifiifii*’fl*fli&: Bemidjl. % Do you want THE BEST GROCERIES found in Bemidji Come right here and get them, as we pride ourselves on having only the best money can buy.
