YORK AND CHICAGO BRANCHES IN ALL THE PRINCIPAL CiTIES IT’S YOUR MOVE, MR. CITIZEN. €ongress, a long time ago, appro- priated $75,000 for a new Federal building in Bemidji. About $9,000 was to be expended in securing a site. The only stipu- lation made by the government on the site was that if an inside lot was selected, land must be provided for a-40-foot space on each side of the building as the government as- sumes its own fire risk and will not place a building within 40 feet of another building. The citizens of Bemidji then at- tempted to decide on a building site. Each man had his own idea where the site should be located, some for their own interests and others for the city’s best interest. No agree- ment was able to be reached. Then a petition was circulated, giving the government full power of selecting a building site. But the petitions, too, have been forgotten. Months have passed, and no action has been taken by the citizens. The government has move. As it is necessary for the matter to. come before congress again, it is necessary for you Mr. Citizen, to make a move and you will have to do.it immediately as congress will meet in December. If no action is taken at this. session, the matter will be laid over until the next session and after three or four years from now a Federal building might be secured. ‘Why not give the government the full say as to where it should locate the building? ‘Why not sign petitions giving the government this right? Wouldn’t it be the best move? ‘We invite you, Mr. Citizen, to use these columns to air your views as to what should be done in this mat- ter. Action must be taken immediately, however. Make a move, Mr. Citizen. made its NOTHING MORE TO INVENT. The Scientific American has dug up the following train of thought: Some one pouring over the old files in the United States patent office at Washington the other day found a -letter written in 1883 that illus- trates the limitations of human im- agination. It was from an old employe of the patent office, offering his resigna- tion ‘to the head of the department. His reason was that as everything inventable has, been invented, the patentoffice would soon be discontin- ued :and ‘there would be no further need of his services or the services of -any of his fellow clerks. He, therefore, decided to leave before the blow fell. Everything inventable had been invented! . ‘The writer of this letter journeyed in a stage coach-or a canal boat. He had never seen a limited train or an ocean greyhound. He read at night by candle light, if he|| redd at all in the evening; more Iikely he went to bed soon after dark and did all his reading by daylight. He had never seen a house lighted by illuminating gas. The arc and Incandes¢ent lights were not to be inverited for nearly half a century. If lie had ever heard of electricity he thought of it as a mysterious and dangerous thing that strikes from the clouds during a thunderstorm. That it could be harnessed to do nidn’s will had never occurred to him. ~ He never heard' the clicking of a telegraph sounder. The telephone would have séemed as wenderful to him ‘as a voyage to the moon. Mo- tion pictures would have reminded him of black art, and the idea that a machine could be invented whereby man could fly above the clouds'like a bird, ascending and descending at will, would have seemed to him merely absurd. “The modern printing press, ~the 1inotype machine, which seeins almost to think; the X-ray, by means _of which surgeons diagnose disease and - :|all the thousands and tens of thou! injury and'lay out their work ‘with scientific certainty, these things ‘Were | % yet to be invented long after he was[¥ dead.

St. Cloud Journal-Press: “It is|, not officially announced that Con- gressman Lindbergh will base his candidacy for governor on the fact that he was a bitter opponent of the new banking law.”—Duluth Herald. Mr. Lindbergh is prepared to take either side of the question. If the law is popular he can show that he voted for the original bill in the house. If it is unpopular he can show that he voted against it when it came back from, the senate with a few amendments. There are so few clever politicians in the country as is our congressman He is careful to keep so near the top of the fence that he can land on either side. Lindbergh and Barnum.
