S, — CITE AFTER EFFECTS 0 FEXPOSITIONS Chicago, April 7.—Does the good that world expositions do live after the gates are closed and is the evil interred with the key? = This is the question many in San Francisco are asking and St. Louis folks have answered in various ways. But Chicago residents believe the ‘World's Columbian exposition, given in 1893, has been worth more to Chi- cagoans than it cost. Some few Chicagoans believe, how- ever, that the ““unemployed evil” had its origin in the exposition. Thonu- sands came here, it is said, expecting to receive work and were unable to leave. Elevated railroads had been talked of and had been tried but had never been proven until along came the fair. And the Jackson Park elevated railroad was first used to handle the vast crowds thronging Chicago to see the fair. Talk of tearing down the road after the fair was quashed when the most populous suburbs of the city grew along its route. Standing in Jackson Park, which was the exposition grounds, is the Field Columbian Museum. Scientists call it a monument to the 1893 ex- position. Near it is the old German building, built by the German gov- ernment. The park itself is the best gift the fair gave to Chicago. It was laid out and beautified for fair purposes. Leading to the ex-fair grounds is Chicago’s own midway, the best park- ed boulevard in the world. Some of the city’s best residences have been built along the Midway. It leads to the University of Chicago. And all around town the visitor sees count- less bronze and other statuary, built temporarily for the fair, which now is used for the beautification of the city. WORK ON NEW HOTEL TO START SOON (Continuea rrom Page 1.) appealed to those present to write to the commissioner of the general land office at Washington protesting against the stand of the government concerning the ruling requiring au- ditors to turn all bonus money, se- cured at the tax judgment sale of diteh lands, over to the government. The auditor has at all times con- tended that the bonus should go to the county. He has brought to his support Senators Nelson and Clapp and Congressmen Lindbergh, Steen- erson and others, but as yet they have been unable to cause the land depart- ment to change its ruling. Last year the bonus, or excess, amounted to $15,000 and it is expected that up- proximately $40,000 will be received this year. Would Apply on Liens. The land commissioner rules that the excess over and above the “delin- quent interest on the total drainage assessment,” for which the land has been sold, must be paid to the land'| office before the patent can be issued. It is this ruling that George protests. ‘When ordered to do so by the pur- chasers of the 1914 sale, the auditor has remitted to the land offices the total excess received at the sale in order that they might receive their patents. This has always been done under protest, and in case the ruling is reversed by the department or by action of congress, the money will be refunded to the county and ap- plied on the liens of the lands affect- ed. Protests will also be made to remittances which will be made as a result of the sale of next month. It is a matter of great importance to Beltrami county and means a sav- ing of thousands of dollars to the taxpayers. Auditor Georgs’ stand is being generally endorsed. Appointments are Made.

Investigate it. M. Flint, 519 Minnesota Ave., Bemidji, says: “My trouble was from pain and lameness in my back and if I-work hard or did a lot of heavy lifting, it was worse. I was also annoyed by kidney weakness. I have found that I can rely on Doan’s Kid- ney Pills, procured at Barker’s Drug Store, every time to help me out in time of need. They act as a tonic to my kidneys and soon free my back from pain and lameness.” Price 50c, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills— the same that Mr. Flint had.

(Continued from PFage 1.3 cured through the agricultural de- partment for five cents each.” The following people have eggs in this hatch: Herbert Warfield, Claude Bailey, Harold White, Char- ley White, Leona Ritchie, Pearl Bot- ling, Renie Botting, Erma Dye, Alice Dyer, Maurice Angvall, Goldie Wal- lace and Clifford Smart. Dr. Rowland Gilmore has placed $25.00 in the hands of the agricul- tural department for the purpose of helping to standardize and improve the poultry of this county. It has been decided to use this money in giving boys and girls in the sur- rounding districts thirty pure-bred eggs each with the understanding that they are to hatch these eggs and take good care of the chickens after they are hatched. They will be ex- pected to work into whatever breed they choose from so that in another year at least they will have only the one breed of chickens. Gile is now selecting those who will profit by Dr. Gilmore’s generosity and anyone de- siring to join this club is invited-to correspond with him. There will be a meeting of the poultry club in the agriculture room of the high school building Thursday evening, April 15, at 8 o’clock. NEW LAWS SHOULD COME WITH GROWTH OF UNITED STATES (Continued from Pawe 1.) damages to shippers; equipment and construction of cars; but it passes up- on the character and quality of goods that are to be carried; it prohibits entirely traffic in certain classes of commodities; it controls the packing and handling of poisons and explo- sives and imposes a multitude of re- strictions. “The pure food.law prevents a man carrying a can of beans across a state line unless it is marked ‘United States Inspected.’ Scarcely an arti- cle can be bought in either a drug store or a corner grocery that does not bear the O. K. of Uncle Sam. Two Cannot Travel. “Two people of the opposite sex cannot travel together from one state to another until the government is satisfied they carry no improper in- tent in their minds. “This remarkable expansion of the interstate commerce clause is but one example of the widening sweep of our Constitution. I might in- stance many others—the construc- tion of the Panama canal; the soclali- zation of Alaska, by which the gov- ernment becomes a vast proprietor, improving and developing a commer- cial property; the irrigation projects of the west; and more recently, the water power projects by which the government becomes a public service corporation engaged in constructing and operating a public utility. “The - temptation at the present time is to find somewhere in the four corners of the Constitution power for the federal government to do any- thing which seems to be beneficial at the particular time. I do mnot complain of this. I believe in it. Our conception of the powers and functions ‘of government increase with our growing confidence in our country. E Changes Are Needed. “I think we should frankly ac- knowledge that changes may still be made in our Contsitution, the powers of our government enlarged and its control put more strictly into the hands of the people without ser- ious injury to our institutions. Pub- lic opinion once thoroughly formed and crystalized into a settled con- viction will find a way of expresing itself. “It would have been a blessed thing for this country if congress had had the courage or the wisdom to submit the 13th amendment, abolish- ing slavery, in 1850, at the time California applied for admission. It it would eventually have been done, I ighfchave bee! secured the adoption of ‘the amend- ment by the requisite of' states, but generation to h: vei and would have saved untold blood and’ treasure, while procuring in the end exactly the same results. “There is but one "way .to tell whether the people want the Consti- tution amended and that is to let, them vote on it. The way to pre- serve the constitution and to make it really American is to keep it con- stantly adapted to the best thought of the American nation.” CAVALRY ' HORSES.
