DENU_ HAROLD J. DANE, Editor. Home Talent Plays. Bemidji is off the traveled route Yor first class theatrical attractions %0 that a home talent play arouses wmore interest here than in most oth- er Minnesota towns. Tonight and Saturday the Brinkman theatre will be used for the High school play “For Old Eli.” The play is a good one, the players have worked hard to become proficient in their parts and ‘there is every reason for giving the play a big first night and a bigger “gecond. The students are being as- sisted by several members of the fac- ulty and the play is by far the most pretentious effort along that line seen in Bemidji for some time. It is mot only a worthy enterprise but is good enough to furnish genuine en- tertainment for the evening. Campaign Statistics. According to the New York World, the number of speeches made by presidential candidates during the Primary and post-convention cam- paigns was as follows: Roosevelt, 1,450; Taft, 550; Wilson, 330. The number of words uttered in campaign speeches was as follows: Roosevelt, 1,030,000; Wilson, 475,- 900; Taft, 215,000. Number of miles traveled: By Roosevelt, 29,000; Wilson, 19,400; Taft, 12,600. Cost of campaigns: Roosevelt, $2,- 600,000; Taft, $1,700,000; Wilson, $1,300,000. The victory went, manifestly, neither to the one who made the most speeches, the one who uttered the most words, the one who traveled the most miles, nor the one who spent the most money. Need for Prompt Action. Word has come to Bemidji that the Thief River Falls Commercial club is becoming active in having the Min- nesota, Dakota and Western railway build an extension from Loman through the Northern part of Bel- trami county to Thief River Falls. Such a line would tap a district which is fast becoming one of the garden spots of the state and would take all of ‘that business to Thief River Falls. Thief River Falls has always been closer to the Northwest part of this county than has Bemidji. The ex- tensive ditching operations in that Section have been carried on from Thief River and the trade which has come from the new territory has nat- urally followed the routes already laid out. As a consequence many of the settlers in that part of the coun- ty are hauling goods from Thief River Falls for a distance of twenty- five to seventy-five miles. If a har- bor is built at Red Lake, Bemidji will be able to get a good share of this trade, but a railroad would re- duce the effectiveness of the harbor. With Thief River taking its pres- ent stand, the Bemidji Commercial club should take steps to get that road down -the east side of the lakes through the Saum and Shotley coun- try if it is to be built at all. Rail- roads are not built over night and it is probable that this line will not be built for some time, but Bemidji should forestall any such possible-ac- tion by being on the ‘ground early. The country to the east of the lakes is fertile and well settled. That to the north is the great Beltrami prai- rie which is destined to become one of the richest farm districts in the state. That trade must come here. way of making bread. three minutes. 316-318 Minn. Ave. It may be a hard proposition for the Commercial club to head off a railroad but the least the club can do is as much as Thief River can do. HYDE TRIAL STARTS (Continued from first page). some quarters, has brought forth charges of a political plot that have added to the interest with which his trial has long been anticipated. The former city chamberlain has been a law partner of Mayor Gaynor. At the time of the Robin bank failures and the crash of the Carnegie Trust company he mysteriously disappear- ed, remaining away until the hue and cry over the distribution of the city’s funds in the defunct institution was spread from New York city to al- most every city in the east. He then returned to the city, alleging illness as the cause of his absence, and was promptly indicted on a charge of swinging the city’s millions to benefit Ihis own ends, which coustitutes the act of bribery in the eyes of the law. PENSIONS FOR PRESIDENTS. Nw York, Nov. 22.— Future ex- presidents of the United States are to be pensioned in the sum of $25,000 each annually by the action of the Carnegie corporation of New York. The grant is provided for with the idea of enabling the former execu- tives of the nation to devote their unique knowledge gained in public affairs to the qublic good, free from pecuniary care. A similar amount will be paid wid- ows of ex-presidents as long as they remain unmarried. The payment is to be continued as long as the recipients remain unpro vided for by the government The announcement followed the second annual meeting of the corpor- ,ation held at the residence of An- drew Carnegie and attended by eight trustees. Oother matters were dis- cussed, but this was the most impor- tant of the meeting. Stage an Exception. Cyril Scott tells of a dinner he once attended at which Edwin Booth was the guest of homor. Mr. Booth was called on for a speech. “What shall I speak of?” he asked. He was a quiet man and hated speech- making. “Oh, just tell us about the stage; something about the theater,” some- one said. Booth laughed. “If you want to know about finance, ask a banker. But if you want to know anything about _the stage, ask the barber or the hotel clerk—anyone except an actor.” His Idea. “Don’t you think we have lawi is a great saver for women: Anyone can make good bread in a Universal.
