HIS PAPER REPRESENTED FOR FOREIGN ADVERTISING BY THE GENERAL OFFICES NEW YORK AND CHICAGO SRANCHES IN ALL THE PRINCIPAL CITIES Our Slogan: “Bemidji 25,000 Population in 1925” Legislators and Laws. Some time when you have the leisure and the notion to do it, jot down all the bills you can think of that really needed to be introduced at this session of the legislature— whether they-were or not. Then estimate how many might have heen needed that you over- looked in your notations. Then add the two numbers togeth- er, and subtract the sum from 2,051. The difference in the number of bills introduced in excess of what you personally have reason to believe needed to he brought before the leg- islators. It’s only an average number, at that. Suppose the legislators to work eight hours a day for the ninety working days permitted by the Con- stitution and you have approximately three bills an hour for the entire ses- sion. About twenty minutes in whieh to acquaint three hundred men with the details of each measure and all its ramifications and give them a chance to decide as to its advisability. And when you figure all the time|. taken up with some individual meas- ures, it would come down to about ten seconds or less for some of the bills, if they got any consideration at all. Every session duplicates the evi- dences of incompetency of the pres- || ent system in handling state affairs. It was admirable in the days when communication was slow and diffi- cult and men sought only the wel- fare of the commonwealth. Today, when state-wide needs are more quickly made generally known, and when one of the chief objects of a legislator is to keep in the public eye, int6 the ring, Moses again proved himself a traitor by deserting La Fol- lette for the Colonel, who was never considered a good Republican, having on one occasion, it is said, voted for Grover Cleveland, and who later started a party of his,own, known as the “bull moose,” now defunct. It will also be remembered that Moses Clapp .wasted considerable .energy and valuable time on another occa- sion by traveling all over Minnesota on free railroad passes, and denounc- ing. and misrepresenting Governor Johnson in.1906, one of the ablest and purest .men that the state eyer produced. But then, yon know, the “hig. man” Moses reaped his reward on election day evening of that year when the news flashed over the het wires that Governor Johnson had swept the state like a cyclone, and Moses’ light went out like a taper of wax.—Gully News. C. A SMITH FIRM PUT BAGK ON EEET Fred B. Snyder, attorney for C. A. Smith, the former Bemidji lumber- man now resident on the Pacific coast. whose recent financial embarrass- ment was a development of interest to the lumber trade of the entire country, announced yesterday the completion of plans for the finanecial rehabilitation of the Smith interests.| To Meet All Obligations. The Coos Bay Lumber company has been formed, with capital stock of $4,500,000, of which $1,500,000 is preferred and $3,000,000 common, and Mr. Smith has been made pres- ident. This company will handle all the adjustment of matters resulting from the financial trouble in which timber lands and other properties representing between $15,00,000 and $20,000,000 were involved. “The Coos Bay Lumber company, organized as a holding company, will lignidate the Smith obligations down to the point where it will become aa operating company,” Mr. Snyder said. Remains in Lumber Trade. “The plan means that Mr. Smith will remain a factor in the lumber trade in a large way, and all inter- ests will be converted or handled to best advantage.” Herman Waldeck, vice president of | the Continental and Commercial Na- tional bank, Chicago, is chairman of the creditors’ committee that worked out the plan. i KKK KRR KK K KK KR | * FOR BRONCHITIS AND COUGHS KKK KRR KR KK KK KK use Schiffmann’s Concentrated Expec- torant. 2 ounces make a full pint at home, and if not found the best remedy ever used, your money will be refunded by Barker’s Drug Store.

Rockefeller’s ser- vice, are to blame for-any-abnormal high prices that may exist, according | to.an eXhaustive investigation of the South St. Paul Live Stock Market, the packing houses operating there, and the Twin City retail market, by Kenneth F. Warner, assistant meat special of the Minnesota Agricultural college. In the good old days, runs the|: analysis, the frugal housewife went |- to market with a basket on her arm, | carefully selected her meat, and car ried it home with her. She paid cash. Now Mrs. Meat [Eater . does most of her ordering by telephone about thirty minutes before ‘dinner, wants only several cuts, demands immediate delivery, charged. As a result the butcher must -charge extraordinary prices in order to make a profit. The Minnesota farmer who ships his livestock to South St. Paul in car-|" load lots has been found to get a little more than 60. per -cent of ‘the ultimate value of- all products. The average farmer who sells his stock in small lots to the local buyer re- ceives from 57 to 58 per cent. The gross returns of the Twin Cities re- tailer, who does business under about the same conditions that prevail in other parts of the country, range from 22 to 25 per cent. Those of the packer are found to vary from 11 to 15 per cent. The multiplicity of small shops is blamed particularly for the high prices of meat in large cities.

Every session of the legislature brings us nearer the time when there will be no legislature as at present constituted, but a small legislative body that will be on the job at all times instead of during ninety days out of each seven hundred and thirty. Then legislation will be proposed and adopted because it is needed by the state, not because somebody needs the advertising. . Of course that time isn’t in the immediate future. A state that can’t even get an efficiency and economy bill passed can’t expect such progress as that in a brief time. But it’s com- || ing, even though the approach ig| slow; and the state, to say the least, will not suffer from its arrival.—Du- luth Herald. = HK KR KK KKK KK KKK | * EDITORIAL EXPLOSIONS * KA KK KKK KKK KKK Business from the manufacturer’s. point of view has been given a boost by Dame Fashion, who has insisted| on the addition of several yards to the width of woman’s skirt.

ORIGIN OF A PHRASE. y Was Not the First to Say, “Go West, Young Man.” ‘Who_said, “Go west, young man?” The phrase has often been credited to Horace Greeley, but he was not the first to use it and once denied that he said it. It was written by John B. L. Soule, a brilliant young man who ed- ited the Terre Haute Express in 1851-3. Richard W, Thompson of Terre Haute advised him to go west and grow up with the country, adding, “Why, Jobn, you could write an arti- cle that would be attributed to Horace Greeley if you tried.” Soule modestly doubted it, but Thompson insisted, and Soule prom- ised to try. The result was an article in the Express on the opportunities offered to young men by the west, which began by saying that Horace Greeley could never have given bet- ter advice than that contained in the words “Go west, young man.” It was a supposititious quotation from Gree- ley, but the article was copied, and pretty soon the supposititious phrase was attributed to Greeley himself. After it had received wide circulation ! the New York Tribune came out with a reprint- of the Express article, ac- companied by a footnote by Mr. Gree- ley saying that he was not the author of -the expression, but he fully in. dorsed it and joined In saying, “Go West, young man; go west.”—Indian- apolis News. 0.
