‘e THE BEMIDJI DA % § Historial hfi& SOOIETY, _ LY PIONEER. VOLUME 11. NUMBER 68 * CLARK'S ADDRESS AT GETTYSBURG Praised So Highly That It Will Be Printed And Distributed Throughout States IS EXAMPLE OF BEST ORATORS Speech In Full Is Herewith Published—Might Name It ‘“‘Patriotism” By Congressman Clyde H. Tavenner. Washington, July—Like one clear bugle note above the songs of peace and reunion was the speech of Speak- er Champ Clark at the Gettysburg celebration. Returning Congressmen and others who heard the ‘speech are praising it highly, and it is to be printed for distribution as a public document. For the benefit of vete- rans who were unable to attend the Gettysburg reunion and for others who might like to read an inspired utterance which is an example of the best oratory of our times the follow- ing is the speech in full. The Speak- er might have named it Patriotism. “I was only eleven years old when Fort Sumpter was fired on and now my head is blossoming like the al- mond tree. I will tell you how I re- gard that awful contest how the gen- eration to which I belong looks upon It—as one of the most heroic chapters in the annals of mankind. “I read English history as the pro- logue to American history. When I reflect upon the Civil, Wars in Eng- land, my judgment is with the stern, unfaltering, pious Roundheads, who, at Worcester, Marston Moor and Dun- bar followed the great Oliver into battle shouting, ‘God with us!” but our soul is fired with the recollection of the chivalric deeds of those gal- lant knights and gentlemen who charged under the silken banner of Prince Rupert in the cause of the Stuart King. “Cold must be the heart of that American who is not proud to claim as countryman, the flower of the southern youth who charged up the slippery slopes of Gettysburg with peerless Picket or those unconquer- able men in blue, who through three long and dreadful days held those beetling heights in face of fierce as- sault. “It was not Southern valor or Nor- thern valor—it was, thank God! American valor—that valor which caused our Revolutionary fathers to throw their gage of battle in the face of the son of a hundred knigs-— that valor which animated Washington at Princeton, Brandywine, Monmouth and Yorktown—that valor which up- held his famished men amid the un- speakable horrors of Valley Forge— that valor which sustainted the sol- diers who followed Arnold on that cruel winter’s march through the woods of Canada and in the Christmas storming of Quebec, where Montgom- ery fell immortal—that valor which nerved Andrew Jackson and his raw militia on ever glorious 8th of Janu- ary, when they humbled to the very dust the towering pride of that mighty monarchy upon whose domin- ions the sun never sets, and utterly routed the veterans of the Peninsula, who had snatched from Napoleon’s brow the iron erown of Charlemagne —that valor which at Buena Vista, Cherebusco and Chapultepee filled the world with its renown—that valor which wrote Davy Crocket’s name above Leonidas and made the Alamo another shrine for freedom—that valor which begirts this land as with a wall of fire, forbidding all the na- tions of the earth to touch the ark of American liberty lest they die. Cal- lous indeed must be the man who can- not find something to admire in the colossal, benignant character of Ab- raham Lincoln or in the splendid career of Robert E. Lee. “The soldiers of the North and the soldiers of the South were American freemen all-fighting like heroes for what they considered right; as such I honor them. To both aliké are ap- plicable the words of Kentucky's soldier poet. “On Fame’s eternal camping ground Their silent tents are spread, And Glory guards with solemn round The bivouac of the dead.” “0, my countrymen, it is an ex- cellent thing to be an American— a great, a glorious thing! ‘When I look in the faces of my chil- dren my heart swells with ineffable pride to think that they are citizens -of.this mighty Republic, one and in- divisible, built not for a day but for all time, and destined under God to be the dominating influence of all the centuries yet to be—dominating not by force of arms, not by the mail- -ed: hand but by influencing men , everywhere by the wholesomeness of of our example to adopt our theory of Government of the people, by the people and for the people.” BREWERY CUTS MELON Bemidji Institution Declares Divi- - dend And Makes Plans For Big Addition ALL OFFICERS ARE RE-LECTED On July 12 Board of Directors of of the Bemidji Brewing Company met in Bemidji and declared a three per- cent dividend se-annually besides setting aside a $23,000 surplus fund. Under the management of A. H. Jes- ter the business had increased won- derfully and the out put of the Bem- idji product has been increased 25 per-cent over the out-put in 1911 and former years. Clyde M. Bacon, President and Treasurer L. F. Johnson, Vice Presi- dent, A. H. Jester, Secretary and manager, J. W. Bragdon of Minnea- polis and J. L. George of this city were all re-elected for the coming year. Improvements will be made throughout the plant in the very near future and plans are now being made to commence work on a brick bottling building, together with a suite of offices which will be connect- ed with the present building. Active work will start some time during the first part of August and rushed to completion before fall. The present quarters are too small for the output of the brewing de- partment although the machinery now used is up-to-date and all work done by modern methods. Several new machines will be added for the new building and the plant will be one of the best equipped in the state. In the new building the offices will be on the ground floor . where visitors may call without being forced to pass through the brewing departments. Another improvement they anti- cipate adding next summer is an auto truck for delivery service. At present the work is done by teams, but as the business next summer will demand more efficient service the dir- ectors have decided to add the truck. One of the recent Improvements made is the installing of a Steinwrith dispenser which does away with all BEMIDJI, MINNESOTA, TUESDAY EVENING, JULY 15, 1913._Y DENIES ATTACK ON" CHARACTER Col. Muhall Defends Purpose In e s— Exposing Lobbying—Did ~ Not Sell Statement SUBMITS LETTER TO WM HEARST Says He Offered Opportunity To Him Of Publishing Documents As Service To Public Washington, July 15.—Martin M. Mulhall, self-styled lobbyist for ten years for the National Association of Manufacturers, interrupted the senate lobby investigation to reply to what he declared wefe personal attacks upon his character and his purpose in the expose in which he has be- come the central figure of the lobby inquiry. He denied that he had tried to sell the great mass of papers and letters which were recently published and which now are in the hands of the senate committee. Later he said he proposed to in- troduce witnesses and letters to show that he had been engaged for months in “trying to give away” the great file of correspondence which has brought officers of the National Asso- ciation of Manufacturers and labor leaders and congressmen into promi- nente. Mulhall's statement was made in cennection with his request that he be allowed to read a letter he had written May 16, 1913, to Perriton Maxwell, editor of Hearst’s Mi.=a- zine, urging him to have William R. Hearst make the mass of letters pub- lic through his publications. This letter reiterated former state- ments that the writer did not want money, but wanted to get the lobby- ing documents published “as a serv- ice to the public.” Continues His Testimony. Mulhall’s first testimony related to letters from Marshall Cushing, secre- tary of the Natlonal Association of Manufacturers, suggesting a cam- paign agaiist Congressman Pearre of Maryland. Mulhall said he made frequent uncleanliness and work serving visi- tors on the part of the employees. With the present system each indivd- ual wishing to partake of the Bem- idji beverage at the brewery must first apply at the office for a chip, which is dropped into the dispenser. The beer can be seen flowing into a glass inside of the machine and later runs into another glass by turning . knob. The beverage now flows direct- ly from the beer cellar. In speaking of the business now being done by the Bemidji Brewing Company, Mr. Jester, the present manager stated that during the past year the sales had been a great deal more than they had ever been in one fiscal year, and that the future pros- pects never appeared brighter than at the present time. HANNIFIN LEASES OIL FIELD Former Bemidji Man Lets Farm To The Nickle 0il Company F. P. Hannifin, who was at one time owner of the Markham hotel building of this city, struck a rich oil claim near Broken Arrow, Okla- homa and, has, according to reports leased the property to the Nickle Oil company. Should oil be found in abundance as is predicted, Mr. Han- nifin will be numbered among the oil magnates of the country. Base Ball Team For Lavinia. Base ball fans at Lavinia haye organized a team and are now busy scheduling games for the remainder of the season. They expect to play the “Little Bemidg” team in the very | near future and have also scheduled games with Blackduck, Bagley, Ten- strike and “other villages in this vicinity. Supporters of the team be- lieve that they have a winning nine as many of the players are Univer- sity men and are capable of playing visits to Pearre’s district and con- ferred with former Senator Welling- ton, George H. Holtzman, postmaster at Cumberland, and others. “Why did. you oppose asked Senator Reed. “On account of his stand on the in- Junction bill, same as I did McCom- as,” said the witness. The plan by which Mulhall and of- ficers of the Philadelphia Typothetae proposed to break down the printers' strike in 1905 was outlined in a re- port Mulhall identified as one he had made to John A. MclIntyre, secretary of the National Typothetae. The report to Melntyre told of an arrangement with employment agen- cles by which new men could be se- cured who were to be encouraged to g0 on strike as soon as the labor unions suggested it. Details of the fight against Pearre were ' brought out through a letter from Mulhall to M. C. Holtzman of Cumberland, Md., dated April 27, 1906," which outlined a plan “to send you all the labor organizers you wish and guarantee all of them to be first class men,” to organize the fight against Pearre. Pearre?” David Donavan Hurt In Mill David Donavan was struck in the face by an edging last night while at work in the Crookston Mill. Al- though the accident is not serious he will be unable to return to work for some time as his cheek was some- what cut. ddck kR kb * % * 4 WOMN DIES WHO KNEW + 4 CHICAGO AS VILLAGE. s * Chicggg, July 15.—Mrs. Bar- % bara Gerby, who saw Chicago 4 grow from a village of 600 to I a city of 2,285,000, Is dead.

A business déal. was consumated in the city recently whereby E. H. Ivés and O. E. Jackson have become sole owners of thé entire stock of the Bazaar store. The business will con- tinue under the fnanngement of Mr. Ives as at present, with exception of a change in name of the store. “For the pasi onth I have had repeated requests to change the name of this store and I am proud to say that it’s because my patorns consider it unfitting for the class of-| merchandise now being carried.” | Such was the statement made by Mr. Ives this morning.

Two Pacific electric trains collided, telescoping two cars and wrecking another at Vineyard station, near the city limits. Three trains loaded with excur- -slonists to the beach at Venice, six- teen miles from Los Angeles, had stopped at a curve where a switch is turned. The last train began mov- ing forward while the two foremost trains remained at a standstill. Carrol Bartholomae, the conductor of the last car of the center train, PR S * R ) a fast game.

Some youths on his car, say pas- sengers who escaped death, pulled the whistle in jest. This, it was 8aid by railroad men, was misinterpreted by the motorman of the moving train as a signal to go ahead. Cars Were Packed to Doors. Passengers on the rear car of the stationary train filled the seats and stood in the aisles when the crash came. The seats were shuffied as a deck of cards. Those who stood were crushed against each other into the far end of the car. Practically all those killed and injured were res- idents of Los Argeles and suburbs. ‘The list of injured, including those receiving minor hurts, will total more than 200. Many are fatally injured. With a crash of breaking glass, splitting timber and the cries of pas- sengers the motor car of the last train drove into the rear of the cen- ter train. The youths who had play- ed with the whistle were crushed in the debris. The colliding cars were telescoped.” The second car of the stationary train was almost demolish- ed. The motorman of the moving train, hearing the whistle, had given a full speed. A curve had prevented his seeing the standing cars of the next train. The third train was not affected. The three trains were said to have been running at three-minute intervals. Most of the killed were cut in pleces. Special trains rushed the injured into Los Angeles hogpitals- and the dead to morgues here.

M.— “Bemidji Wins the Normal School,” was the message sent over the wire to this city, at three-thirty.

Every Man To His Own Trade tion that Bemidji won was enough. A. P. Ritchie was present when the message was received and immediate- ly went out on the streets shouting out the good niews to the people. The fire whistle was set to blowing in ord- er to bring the glad tidings to the peo- ple throughout the city. Ever since eleven o'clock this morning, the normal school reports of various natures, some to the effect that Thief River Falls had been se- lected, another that Cass Lake had been chosen and still another that the first ‘vote stood two for Bemidjl, two Thief River Falls and one for Cass Lake, were ent. . At noon the Pioneer was in com- munication with the Capitol and it was learned that the commission was still in session and that no decision had been reached. George Authier, private secretary to Governor Eber- hardt stated over the telephone at one o’clock that the matter was still un- der consideration and that he would send the results as soon as deter- mined. As the news reached Bemidji and first announcement of it made by the Pioneer the town almost went wild. The fire whistle was blown and both Whistles of the lumber company mills were set off and continued to blow for almost an hour. Automobiles parad- ed the streets tooting their horns and shouts of joy from boys and men were heard everywhere. The fire bell was clanging and to- gether with the firecrackers and oth- er explosives Bemidji celebrated one of the greatest events in its history. A procession of automobiles load- ed with enthusiasts was quickly city, taking entire possession of every available thoroughfare. The Rey- nolds and Winter's car loaded with Prof. Dyer, A. P. Ritchie, F. S. Arnold and others who were active in secur- ing the school, led the big parade. To say that all acted like a lot of ‘“‘erazy hoodlums”, is putting it mild- ly. Boys formed in line with tin pans and sticks and all in all the town pre- sented one of the wildest scenes ever known in its history: BUILDS NEW FIRE WALLS Troppman Building To Be Remodeled With Full Basement Under Structure DOUBLES SALESROOM CAPACITY F.

City Clerk Stein read a letter to the council from a firm that own the plant located at Grand Forks.

All were approv- ed, except one from August Peterson who presented a bill for two brooms for the street sweeping machine.
