e o e VOLUME 11. NO. 185 BAUDETTE COMING IN SPECIAL CAR Many Boosters of Border City to At- tend Development Convention— Want Summer Meeting ATTENDANCE TO BE LARGE Unusual Interest Being Shown In Two-Day Session To He Held Here This Week. One of the largest conventions ev- er held by the Northern Minnesota Development association, is expected to be the result of the meeting which is to take place in Bemidji on Thurs- day and Friday of this week. Never before has the press and the busi- ness men of the northern half of the state taken such an interest as that which is being shown in the convention this year. Nearly every county, there being only one or two exceptions, have named from five to twenty delegates to attend the meeting. One little township appropriated $200 for the sending of two representatives to the convention. Ready To Fight. The Baudette delegation is coming in a special car, and prepared to put up an awful fight for the landing of the 1914 summer convention for the border city. Spooner, International Falls, Bemidji and several otBer cities are going to throw their en- fluence in Baudette's direction. As vet no other city has announced that they will make serious application for ‘t and it is probable tbat the little city which hopes to some day be caused to provide a site for a new court house will be successful. Many Coming Baudette's special car will leave that place to morrow afternoon, ar- riving here sometime tomorrow even- ing. The delegation wil return to Baudette Saturday morning. Those who have announced that they will make the trip are the following: . C. Middleton, J. U. Williams, John Col ins, F. H. Slipp, J. L. Williams, Joseph Thibault, eGorge Thibault, M. E. Murray, F.

Lind, Paul Sanderson, H. Clementson, T0 SETTLE SITUATION Congress Decides To Devote Twelve Hours Each Day To Currency Debate ANTI-TRUST PROBLEM NEXT By Congressman Clyde H. Tavenner. ‘Washington, Dec. 2,—The cur- rency situation is as good as settled by the courageous action of the Dem- ocratic members in insisting that the Senate shall devote 12 hours a day to the discussion until the bill is pass- ed. Until this action was taken there seemed to be the possibility that the debate might drag on until spring, delaying the trust legislation and other important measures which the President and the Democratic party wants passed before going before the people in the congressional elections next fall. There was even a possibili- ly that long continued debate might defeat the currency bill altogether. The thing is settled now, and we can turn our attention to other things. Republican reactionaries are threatening to filibuster against the bill and delay the passage indefinite- ly. My prediction is that when these Senators begin to hear from the country they will hastily drop their attitude of obstruction. Anti-Trust Problem Next The trusts, therefore, are the next great question which will engage the attention of Congress. There will be many theories advanced, and the Congress may make radical changes in the methods of handling the great combinations of industry. One thing however, is certain. A man guilty of violating the Sherman law i3 to be held in the future to be just as much of a criminal as a man who steals a chicken, and the penalty he will pay will be correspondingly more severe. Rich malefactors must serve in jail. The courts must have no alternative about sending guilty trust magnates to the penitentiary. That is the par- ticular tooth which the Sherman law needs, and it will be inserted, if the great majority of Democrats in Con- gress have their way.

The admiral’s views, which embody the recommendations of the navy general board, are that the fleet should consist of forty-eight battle- ships of the line before 1920, if pos- sible, and that the building program should begin this- year with four dreadnoughts, sixteen destroyers, eight submarines and minor craft. Admiral Dewey points out that if ‘four first class ships were laid down this year they would not increase the strength of the navy, but would only replace the Indiana, Massachusetts, Oregon and Iowa, which, he declares, should be withdrawn even from the reserve line.

ARBUTUS IN FULL -BLOOM Bemidji Residents Picking Bouquets Near Outskirts of City-Forty Be- low 17 Years Ago Yesterday BEMIDJI LAKES ARE STILL OPEN . To pick arbutus is not uncommon |this month in Bemidji and vicinity according to citizens who have taken walks through the woods recently. Yesterday the little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. K. Titus brought home a neatly arranged bouquet which she had picked near the out skirts of the city. This is the most remarkable in- cident that has ever occured in Nor- thern Minnesota according to “old timers” who claim that as long as they can remember this territory-has never had as mild weather in Decem- ber. To compare with former years an interesting fact was recalled by W. G. Schroeder of this city who tells ot a trip to Park Rapids 17 years ago on the first day of December when the temperature was 40 degrees below zero, . Trees in the city are budding and nature reminds the citizens of early spring. Light frosts are noticceble at nights which are not cold enough however to freeze the lakes-which are still open. Farmers in the county are still breaking ground and preparing for the spring seeding.

At the suggestion 0¢ Alderman at Large, R. F. Murphy, a motion. was made to apoint Mayor William McCuaig, City Attorney Russell, President of the Council Murphy, City Clerk George Stein and Alderman E. W. Hannzh as a com- mittee of five to amend the Dpresent charter and bring it before the coun- cil for its approval and later to be ‘presented to the charter commission for its sanction. This motion received the entire vote of the council and the commit- tee was instructed to commence ac- tive work on the charter. Mayor Me- Cuaig informed the council that-no more special elections would be held for any charter but that any present- ed could be voted upon at the next regular election, Crippen Causes Stir. For several minutes the attention of the members of the council and citizens present was held by a short snappy speech made by C. C. Crippen after May- or McQuaig announced that he had received a letter from W. R. Mackenzie asking him to have the City hall decorated for the Northern Minesota Development Association meeting which is to be held here Thursday and Friday. Mr. Crippen said, “Let the Commercial Club ‘do the trimming. We have been over looked entirely by this body of, men and-not even our Mayor has ben ap- to take charge of the meetings. It is an insult to.the City council.” Mr. Crippen made more remarks in which he censured the Commercial club for the stand they had taken. At the close of his speech several of the councilmen and citizens present applauded and Alderman Murphy said, “Thats exactly my sentiments,” “Be A Booster” Alderman Smart replied, “this is a boosters meeting and as we are representing the citizens of Bemidji it is up to us to help all we can even if we have been entirely over looked by the Commercial Club. Thefew dollars spent in trimming that hall will hardly be noticed for the returns we will get.” Knows When Slapped “Gentlemen, I usualy know when T have been slapped in the face, and think you will all agree with me- ‘Wwhen I say that we have been insult- ed by the Commercial club,” said Mr. Murphy. Attorney P. J. Russell arose to dis- cuss the subject after Alderman Crip- pen made a motion that the Mayor, City Attorney and President of the Council should be appointed as a com- mittee to meet with the Northern Minnesota Developement Association. Mr. Russell said,” I think the sugges- tion is a good one and I heartily ap- ‘prove of every statement made by Mr. Crippen. It has been an dnsult that ‘we shall not soon forget when the club did not even ask our honorable mayor to make a short address of wel- come to the visitors in our city and I am sure the visitors will look up- on the matter in the same light. As for boosters I am positive that I can pick out stronger ones from among this small number of cduncilmen who are working harder for the welfare of the city than could be picked out from the 100 members of the Com- mercial Club.” 4 Will Do His Share 1 “Gentlemen, I have not thought much about the matter and I am sat- isfied with the actions the Club has taken,” said the mayor, “I will. be present at the meeting but do not care to take any part on the program or deliver any speeches, I think we should let the matter drop and do our share to boost.” A motion was made to instruct the street commissioner to see that the hall was clean and decorated for this occasion. The motion was unanimous- ly carried and the matter turned over to A. A. Carter. i Strikers Return to Work. 7 Schenectady, N.
