' THE BEMIDJ VOLUME 11. NUMBER 138, MUCH HUMOR IN CLOSING HOURS OF TARIFF DEBATE Resigned To Inmevitable Republicans Thrusted Political Darts At Dem- ocrats and Clashes Resulted PENROSE SHOWING HUMAN SIDE Has Become Known As The Senate Cut-Up And His Sayings Keep His Colleagues in Laughter By Congressman Clyde H. Tavenner. Washington, October 6.—Theré was much real humor during the closing hours of the tariff debate in both House and Senate. Resigned to the inevitable, the Republicans con- tented themselves with thrusting po- litical darts at Democrats, and there were frequent clashes in which the wit was scintillating. The metamorphosis of Senator Boies Penrose is one of the pheno- mena of the 63rd Congress. Hereto- fore Penrose, standpat Republican that he is, has been to curious visit- ors in the galleries as the personifi- cation of the brute force of big busi- ness. Shorn of power now lieved of much work, Penrose 1s showing a much more human side of and re- his character. He seldom arises ex- cept to inject some fun into the Sen- ate debates. He has become the Sen- ate cut-up, and his sayings keep his colleagues, Republicans and Demo- crats, in roars of laughter. Nothing that ever happened in the Senate was funnier than Pen- rose’s mock explanation of why the Democrats put Angora goat hair and took the duty off wool. Penrose pretended to go to the-en- cyclopedia to find a reason. He said: “The authorities on natural his- tory say that this ruminant quad- ruped is about the same as the dom- estic sheep, so closely allied to it as to have no real difference, although a duty on frequently widely different in appearance. Why then, if - the goat, the same as the sheep, is a genus of ruminant quadrupeds of the family Bovidae, should this dif- ference be made? It is no more dif- ferent to ruminate in Texas than it is in Wyoming.” Penrose then read from a deserip- tion of the goat in an encyclopedia. “It further appears that the goat ‘has a straight line in the face as compared with the arched line in sheep.’” As you often have to look backward to see a goat, the writer of this article was a keen observer. Still another difference has been noted: “*‘ And another constant which is absent in sheep strong smell of goats.” Penrose and other have directed much sarcasm at the Democratic defferentiation between sheep wool and goat hair. They have pretended in their arguments that angora goats were “protected” be- cause the only -considerable herds of them are raised in the district of John H. Garner, of Texas, a Demo- cratic member of the Ways and Means Committee, and have thus brought the charge of log-rolling against the tariff bill. Of course, the Republican speak- ers have carefully concealed the real motive of the Democrats in placing this duty on goat hair. It was not as the result of log-rolling. Although the Senate wanted free trade in goat hair, there is a good economic rea- son for a duty on it and a reason which does not apply to wool at all. The Democratic theory for plac- ing wool on the free list is that the sheep is a ‘“double-purpose” gnlan The sheep raisers produces both mutton and wool. The wool, there- fore, because a by-product, and as wool is a prime necessity of life, the Democrats have given millions of consumers benefit by putting this by-product on the free list. The farmers will pay the expenses of sheép raising by the sale of mutton, and whatever they get for wool will be clear profit. And this is a view which has been accepted by Sena- tor LaFollette within the last year. Prior to a year ago LaFollette was an adyocate of a tariff on wool. The Democratic argument has converted him. The same theory, however, will not apply to goat hair, since goat meat is not an edible in this country. mark is the The goat’s hair is the product, not the by-product.

The entire game was played dur- ing a shower, which made it harder to play fotball than had there been snow on the ground. Bemidji began the game with a rush and before five minutes of the first half had gone by, the ball was pushed over the Fosston goal line for the first and only score of the game so far as Bemidji was concern- ed. The ball went over the line di- rectly in under the goal posts, Hay- nor making the -last few yards, but because of the wet condition of the pigskin Bailey was unable to place it over the standards for the extra count. Later Fosston sent the ball over by using several short forward passes and double passes. The first attempt to kick goal was a failure. The head linesmen protest- ed the fact that several Bemidji men were. off side and. Fosston was,| given another chance. Their second attempt was successful and. spelled defeat for the Bemidji wariors Repeated penalties. perhaps Bemidji the game. The two teams will meet in Be- midji in two weeks for a return match, and the Bemidji boys feel confident that they will be able to wipe out the defeat. In order to referee the game as promised, Clarence Shannan, who missed the ‘early morning train, made the trip to Foston in a box car of a freight train. He was forced to walk the last four miles. cost FIRST MEETING OF YEAR Woman’s Study Club Began Winter’s Work This Afternoon, The first meeting of the 1913-14 year of the Woman’s club was held this afternoon in the club rooms at the library building. The club will study the United Republicans | States this year.. Mrs. Battles was leader of the meeting this afternoon and the following interesting papers were given. “Early - Colonists in General,” Mrs. C. R. Sanborn. “Ac- quisition of Territory,” Miss Bea- trice Mills. “Brief Resume of our Wars”, Mrs. C. E. Battles. Reports from the state convention of Wom- an’s clubs at Brainerd were read by the delegates; these being Mes- dames McDonald, Witting and Ar- 1nold. After the program a social session was held. Three Drunks Arrainged Joe Ruane, Jim Towney, and Chet Cook were fined five dollars-or five days in the County jail for appear- ing on the streets in an intoxication condition. As each had work in sight and were all financially embarassed, City Attorney Russell recommended suspended sentences in all three cases. SCOOP &% REPORTER Ball For Season Of 1913 Cause ‘Although Superintendent of Schools. A. A. Freeman has receded from his original ‘position and said that Ed Farrell and Will Whaling, who were dropped from the high school foot ball team because they played one game.with the city team, might again play on the team disbanded after the game with Col- eraine last Saturday, and no more games will be played by them this year. This was made known by Coach Carson yesterday. The announcement that Grand Rapids will play no more games is a hard blow to the Bemidji high school schedule, as two games had been arranged with them, and for years the games with the Itasca county town have been’ considered as being the leading contests of the season and often settle the Northern Minnesota championship. In speaking of bringing the Grand Rapids team to Bemidji in their present condition Coach Carson said: it would be folly to take a team which had been completely demor- alized by the loss of two of the best players from the backfield, and at- tempt to play a crack team which for years has been its hated rival, DAIRY MEN'S CONVENTION Tenth Annual Meeting Of Red River Association To Be Held At Crookston In December WILL BE IN SESSION TWO DAYS C.

Had not Ant happended to be passing along the railroad track while out hunting, the body of the man might have remained in the woods into which it was carried by the murderer for weeks before being discovered. Ant’s.attention was called to what looked to him like finger marks on the sand between the rails of the Soo tracks and he soon dis- covered blood. He then found foot prints leading to tne woods at the side of the track and indications that something had been dragged. He followed the marks to the right of way fence and there found an- other large amount of blood. From this point he saw what he though ‘was the body of a man, over which had hurriedly Dbeen placed some bushes. A short investigation proved that his suspicions were not false for a bullet hold was found in"the fore- head of the dead man. Sheriff Johnson and ° Coronor Ibertson: were _immediately “notified of ‘the murder and left for the place of the crime this afternoon, The murdered man is about forty years of age and nearly six feet in height. He wore a blue sweater, blue overalls, and a blue coat. He- was smooth shaven. While some papers and letters were found on the body they were left untouched until the coroner and sheriff arrived. From these his name may be learned.. John Ant and Joseph E. Olson watched the body until the arrival of the officers. The body will like- ly be brought to Bemidji this af- ternoon. The murderer carried the pack sack of the dead man half a mile to a creek where he threw it and later it was found, along with a belt and other personal property. No reason for the murder has de- veloped. Early this morning a stranger ap- peared at the home of Amdrew Adams, section foreman at Scribner and requested somre bread. Adams asked him to come inside but the man refused and acted in a nervous manner. He was a short man and rather broad shouldered, but all Adams could remember of his cloth- ing was that he wore a green color- ed hat. It is believed that he is the man guilty of the murder.
