SMOKER TO BE HELD TONIGHT Visiting Bcnbel vaen -Automobile Tour Through Country—Boat Trip This Afternoon. SHORT HISTORY OF ASSOCIATION Was Organized in Park Rapids Six Years Ago For Purpose of Gain- ing Better Rail Service. When the smoker to be given this evening by the Commercial club of Bemidji, in honor of the members of the editors association is begun it is estimated that no less than 75 news- paper men will be present. About fifty pushers of the pen were present at the Glee club enter- tainment last evening and a few vis- ited the plant of the Crookston Lum- Ler company. More are coming in on 2ach train and the tgtal may reach 100. This morning the editors were tak- en on an automobile trip to the town of Frohn. This afternoon they were, given a trip across Lake Bemidji and down the Mississippi river to the power dam eight miles below the out- let. Tonight while the men are attend- ing the Commercial club smoker the women will be guests of the Women’s| Study club. It was announced this! morning by Mrs.-C. R. Sanborn, that if possible the women would be taken | to Lake Plantagenet, where they would be given dinner at the Jester farm. at 10 o’clock tomorrow morning the editors will board a chartered; train and will be taken_ to Redby. Boat rides will be had on Red Lake and they will be taken to Cross Lake Indian school, where the Indians will give a big war dance and pow wow. These eevnts will__be. entirely i charge of John Morrison, official in- terpreter of the Chippewas for Min- nesota and Walter Dickens, agent of the Red Lake agency. It is understood that several members of the associa- tion will be given the Grand High Chippewa degree and made members of the band. The resolution committee under Cnarles Scheers of Akeley will sub- mit resolutions.at the business ses- sion which is to De held tomorrow. The trip will afford an opportunity for the editors to visit a place of which little is known by the average Minnesotan, a place which has for many years been the favorite hunting and fishing grounds of the Chippewas, and concerning which there are many romantic legends. Judge C. W. Stanton, former pres- ident of the State Editorial Associa- tion, will preside at the smoker.. The Northern Minnesota Editorial association was organized at Park Rapids in 1907, under the name of the Great Northern Editorial associa- tion, the following being the charter members: Rudolph Lee, Long Prairie Leader; 1. J. Courtright, Staples Head- light; J. H. Haradon, Hubbard County Enterprise; A. W. Page, Park Rapids Clipper, and Charles F. Scheers, Ake- ley Herald-Tribune. The object of the association was to inaugurate a concerted movement for better train service on the Great Northern railway from Sauk Center to Bemidji, it being the general opin- ion all along the line that the Great Northern was actually retarding de- velment of the park region of Minne- sota by its train service, or rather, lack of train service, freight and pas- senger. 1 A railroad committee composed of Rudolph Lee, of Long Prairie; and Charles F. Scheers of Akeley, was ap- pointed for the purpose of taking the matter up with the officials of the Great Northern. The association membership has rapidly increased and its field of la- bor enlarged. Northern Minnesota is included with- in its jurisdiction. There are 115 newspaper included in its member- ship. The name was changed three years ago to “Northern Minnesota Editorial Association,” wmx “Development”. as its motto. b Shop talk is the principal feature of its winter business sessions. The present officers of the associa- tion-are: H.'C. Kiley, Grand -Rapids Hegrald-Review, president; Charles F& Scheers,-Akeley:-Herald-Tribune, vice president; A. G. Rutledge secretary and treasurer. Because of the:fact that the Duluth traveling men wll be here at noon to- morrow, dinner at the Hotel Mark- Bham will be served from mnoon to 1:30 instead of at 6 o’clock as usual. TALKBY DR. R.V.-PHELAN| Gave Lecture on Business and Health at Business Men’s Luncheon Yeitordsy GAVE BEASOH FOR ummcev “Business and Health,” was the topic on which Dr. Raymond Phelan dealt in his address to the; Bemidji Business men and visiting editors at the luncheon yesterday." Dr. Phelan said: “The twentieth century is-impress- ing a business lesson that is new to many. This is the lesson of the econ- omy, the morality, and the justice of good health for all. In addition to those on the sick list, there are in this country many millions more who. put less into life and work ‘and get less out because, not being entirely well, they are not one hundred. per hent efficient.” In-addition to dis- cussing conditions at birth, food, physical training, proper medical and dental care, and the sanitation of the home, school, street and public’ con- veyance, the speaker laid great stress upon the necessity, from .the health point of view, of selecting people carefully,” with respect both to phy- sical and psychical constitutions, for the various occupations of life. Dr. Phelan said, “Many a worker is do- ing his task at too great a physical and mental cost because he is ill-fitted either physically ‘or_psychicaly, for his occupation. * “I11 health means inefficiency. Bad habits mean inefficiency. Unhappiness tends to inefficiency. Therefore the employer has a direct interest in what his worker eats and drinks, in how clean he is, in how much he isleeps, in what he thinks, and in the health and-happiness of his family. The sick wife, and consequently the poorly prepared breakfast, may pull down the workingman’s inefficiency.” The speaker advocated medical _in- spection in stores and shops, just as in the schools of the wide-awake town, and showed conclusively the economy of the emergency hospital m the shop and large store. “Health for the worker is good business goj' the employer; furthermore, business should aim to turn out, not only steel rails, forty-story buildings and the like, but.men and women who will be safe.and valuable citizens. Even the agricultural community has a in- terest in the movement for good health in the work-shop. Bad health and inefficiency will in the long run show themselves in the cost of the things that we buy. Poor health in one community often communicates itsélf to other communities; poor health and inefficiency are, further- more, reflected in the taxes collected for the support of the various state charity institutions. Insurance rates are higher, and fraternal obligations are greater by reason of the other fellow’s poor health. This financial juterest in good. health for others promises the. dawn of a new indus- irial day.” MacKenzie in Bemidji Today. W. R. MacKenzle, of Bemidji, sec- retary of the Northern Development association, arrived in the city this morning. He is enthusiastic over the accomplishment of the Hinckley meet- ing and today said: . “The meeting was a dandy and good results are bound to be the outcome of it, I think that the Duluth convention for the purpose of deciding some way in which to gain aid for the farmer in clearing cut-over land will be well at- tended and that we will get the re- sults we are and have been after.” Wanted Money in Hurry. Charged with assault and battery, W. F. Clapp, foreman of a cement crew, was tried in municipal court this morning before Judge Crowell on a warrant sworn out by Algot Saff: Clapp claims that Saff demanded pay for time they were forced to wait for checks and when he refused be- gan cursing at him. As a result the complaining witness is wearing an ertra large eye tinted with several colors. Clapp was fined five dollars and costs or eight dollars, He paid the find and was released. SCOO THE CUB Attractions Have Been Good and-Ts- ually Well Attended—Hoben Talks Tonight. To Lecture Either on “Vooationalt Guidance,” or “Training For Cit- igenship”—Plan Good One. ‘With a small surplus which willv be put in a fund to be used in sup- porting University week next year, the “week” will be brought to a close this evening. Superintendent Dyer who has had charge of the business affairs stated last night that there would be a small surplus but that he did not know just what the amount would be. Dr. Allen Hoben' will bring the| week which has-truly been an ndu» cational one for the citizens of Bém-| idji, to a close this evening when he will lecture on either _Vocational Guidance or Training for Citizenship. Dr. Hoben also took part on the pro- | gram this afternoon. His lecture this evening will be in the high school building and will begin at 8:30 p..m Other ‘attractions this afternoon were a talk on-Infant Welfare - by Miss Mettle, visiting . nurse, of Min- neapolis -and dramatic readings and impersonations by Miss Alice Ruth 0’Connell, Glee Club Attracts Crowd. For the second time.this week University week attractions tomplete- 1y filled the Armory last evening, the Glee club being the attraction. Last evening’s entertainment was one of the few real musicals to visit Bemidji ‘in recent yeats,; and the twelve boys of the Glee' club did themselves proud. But the boys are mnot to be given all. the-glory-for:- the -unquestioned success of last evening’s program. They.were assisted by Eleanor Poeh- ler, soprano and Miss Ruth Ander- son; violinist. Both are talented wo- men and were forced to render sev- eral encores during the evening. Two of the young men who took part on the program were Ingolf Grindeland of Warren, son of Judge Grindeland, and Allen Agnew of Blackduck. University week, taking every thing into- consideration, has 'been successful in Bemidji this year. It has been well attended at all sessions and there seems to be no doubt that President Vincent-had the right idea when he originated the plan. Where Did They Get It. One Indian and a squaw were picked up by the local police-in an intoxicated condition and were land- ed in the city jail this morning. An investigation will be .made to find out where they obtained the liquor and the guilty party caught if pos- sible. It appears that the Indians are obtaining a large amount of booze in Bemidji from some source which they refuse to reveal but if the traffic continues it is probable that the source will be discoveéred. Busy Repairing Diamond. Some repairs will be made on-the baseball diamond by the Bankers and Crookston Lumber company baseball teams as the grounds were badly-torn up by the circus wagons yesterday. M. 8. Gilette, manager of the “Big Bemidg” team will have a team drag the diamond as it would be almost impossible to play ‘with it in the present condition. Mitchell to Head Glidden Tour. ‘When the 1913 Glidden tour start- ed out today it was. headed by a Mitchell car as pathfinder.

COURT DECIDES IN - FAV{)R OF MOON l!mnuoh‘ El‘helt Tribunal fimb That Decision of Judge Stanton of Bemidji Should Stand. THE -RECOUNT WAS CORRECT Fact That Ballots Disappeared From Two Towns in Evidence Does' Not Show Irregularity.-. GIVES OFFICE T0. SOCIALIST (Supreme Court Holds That Moon -is Blght!ul Possessor of Register of Deeds Posltwn. In a-case, which since it was first .{submitted to-thesupreme court several weeks ago, has czused a‘large amount cf interest in Beltrami county, the state’s highest tribunal yesterday. de- cided in favor of the lower court in the Moon-Harris contest suit for the office of register of deeds, thereby giv- ing the office to Moon. Moon is a socialist and ran on that ticket at the general election last |t - On _the face of the returns of the !|canvassing board it appeared that J. 0. Harris, then register of deeds, had Leen declared the winner by a vote of 1,458 to"1,463: Moon at once ‘decided: to seek-a re- ‘|count and employed as his attorney A. M. Crowell of Bemidji, who later was assisted by - Senator C. C. Mec- Carthy who had charge of the case before Judge Stanton .in the lower conrt, and also appeared for Moon in _ 1he supreme court. ~E. B. McDonald _ has handled the case for Harris. Tmmediately after the recount, dur- ing which it was discovered that the ballots of two towns-in which the ma- jority was in favor of Moon were a With this missing it still left- Harris the win- ner. The case was then ‘tried before Judge Stanton who held that the re- count must govern and that secondary evidence in the’ consideration of the missing. ballots shonld alss be taken into the evidence. In this the supreme court upholds the Bemidji- jurist, -as in all of the points of law. The action of the supreme court in a decision by Commissioner Dibell, means that Moon is the rigful register of deeds and that the majority is 3 votes the result being 1,460 to.1,463. The syllabus follows: A notice of appeal in an election contest for the office of register of deeds which states that the ballots cast for the contestant were erroneously counted and returned for the contestee in all of the precincts of the county, and that if correctly counted and re- turned they would have given con- testant a pluarlity, sufficiently speci- fying “the points upon which the con- test will be made,” within R. L. 1905, Section 336, amended by Laws 1911, Chapter 89. * Authorizes an Amendment The statute cited -authorizes an amendment of the notice of appeal. There was no error in permitting the notice to be amended 50 as to charge that there were errors unfavorable to contestant in all the precincts except two, though such amendment was un- necessory, the official refurns of the two precincts being -presumptively correct though ‘alleged to be erron- eously counted and returned unfav- orably to the contestant, Two Precinots Not Recounted In the sixty-nine precincts of the county which were recounted the con- testee was given by the recount a ma- Jjority of fifteen against a majority of twenty-five upon the official returns. In the two precincts, not recounted, the contestant relied upon the . of- ficial returns which gave him a ma- Jority of eighteen.. The court found the contestant elected by a majority of three. It is held that the confestant properly Telled upon the official re- turns of the precincts not counted, and the recount of the precincts re- counted, and was not required .to ‘make a recount of all the precincts in the county or of more than suffic- fent to give, ‘with the official returns,’ a result in his favor; and, if the bal- lots and returns were kept with suf- ficient integrity to permit their. use. in _evidence, the court was correct in its finding.
