Fight Vice With Quarantine. In its report to the district court, the Hennepin county grand jury yes- terday made the followiné state- ment: “A conflagration is fought from the outside to the center; a disease is quarantined and the germs appear- ing outside destroyed. So our auth- orities should give their first atten- tion to removing the social evil from our residential and school districts; then destroy the source from which it is fed, thereby eliminating the evil itself.” The vice situation in Bemidji is similar to that in Minneapolis. For a long time the evil in Minneapolis was kept segregated by the police in 2 few blocks south of Washington ayenue and east of Second street. e —— y the Bemidji Pioneer Publishing waged on the inmates of these resorts and as a resilt they scattered all over the city taking their diseases and bad example into residence sections and school districts. At the present time, vice flourishes in Minneapolis in scores of rooming houses and small ‘hotels in every part of the city. In Bemidji, the evil has never been completely segregated but was large- ly so when the swamp house and the one on Lake Irving were running. Since these houses have been closed by the police, women have taken residence anywhere they can get rooms and the business is well scat- tered in the city. One place ran on Minnesota avenue opposite the Cen- tral school for several weeks before .|the owner and inmates left the city. The Hennepin county grand jury is on the right track although many believe the vice itself will never be stamped out since it feeds on a de- sire which is bred into the human But the evil can be segregated and kept under such surveillance that new recruits will not be sought in 2 public and flagrant manner. In Bemidji today the social evil has such a free play that it is the shame of the city. We need a segregated district; one that can be regulated and watched by the police. The soc- ial evil is here to stay for some time but it must be made a thing foreign to the every day life of the city and a thing to be shunned by our young people. race. _ Putting a Cabinet Together. Governor Wilson finds that there are two kinds of cabinets—one the Then a campai of elimination was political, made up of party leaders who must be recognized; the other, the personal, composed of men whose fitness is known to the president and on whose judgment he would like to lean. Mr. Wilson hints that his cabinet is likely to be “a little of both.” “1f° Mr. Wilson were to invite Champ Clark as the chief losing can- didate in the convention, to the chief place in the cabinet, he would follow precedent. But Speaker Clark al- ready has a more responsible job. So has Oscar W. Underwood, whose lead- -ership of the house affords great op- portunities than a cabinet position. The_available men, politically speak- ing, are men who are out of office or soon will be, like Bryan and Har- mon; leaders who have never held office, such as Lynch, McCombs, ‘Wade, McAdoo and Josephus Daniels; or lawyers identified with causes that fireatly interest the public like Untermeyer and Brandies. But in order that it may be a real cabinet, it must have compatibility. The real question before Mr. Wilson is not whether his ministers come from certain sections, but whether they will further his plans. In short, Mr. Wilson will have to make up his mind, and that shortly, whether to test his fortunes with a progressive or conservative cabinet. No doubt his leaning is toward a progressive cabinet. He would like to surround himself with men of a forward tendency. A. cabinet made jup of opposing elements has seldom been frankly tried since Washing- ton’s day, when parties had secarcely been formed. He made up a ministry | of all the talents, only to see much| jealousies between Jefferson . and Hamilton. President - Wilson ~ will probably not care to try that experi- ment. If he avails himself of the strength of Bryan, he will be shut out from using the strength of Har- mon. Unless Mr. Wilson is supreme- ly confident of his own powers, he will hardly take the risk of bringing these conflicting elements into his councels. The personal selections a president always feels bound to make are in Mr. Wilson’s case few. He will of- fer something substantial to Mr. Me- combs, who got him the nomination. He ought to make a tender of some kind to Mr. McAdoo, who really ran the campaign. But otherwise he is free to seek Democrats who will strengthen the administration by their power to harmonize the -party on a program of legislation.—Minne- apolis Journal. i ADDITIONAL SOCIETY | Blackduck American: Everett EBergin spent yesterday visiting with i friends in Bemidji. ! | Hollister's R.

A few generations back a man at 50 was considered old, gray-bearded, and waiting for death. Note the change today: at a meeting of the Medico-Legal society it was stated that a man of 50 ought to have forty good years ahead of him and, thus at ninet ybe in the fullness of ma- turity. What if you have seen sixty, or even seventy birthdays—temperate habits, fresh air and exercise, with a simple diet and a sufficient amount ot sleep will guard your health. If perchance, your circulation is poor, if you become run down—weak and no appetite—nothing in the world will tone up those tired back- sliding organs—enrich the blood and create strength so quickly as our de- licious cod liver and iron tonic Vinol. We ask every feeble, discouraged old person in this vieinity to try Vinol on our agreement to return their money if it fails to give satis- faction.
