One way to be sure of having any- thing you want is never to want what you can’t get. Everybody should be prosperous in Bemidji. All we have to do is to work hard, save money and keep on smiling—and it’s all easy to do. Vhen a political party assumes the defensive it admits weakness, says the Otheloo (Wash.) Times. Notice the stuff the administration is put- ting out to convince the country it has been a good steward. ‘We cannot too often impress upon Republicans the necessity of getting out the vote on election day. Politi- cal victories are more often won by organization than by issues. Not that the issues are lacking this year, because every day adds to the vital reasons why the Wilson administra- tion should be defeated and a Re- publican majority returned in both houses of congress. With these is- sues and the transcendent necessity for Republican success, the organi- zation of the party strength should go down to the last name on the list of voters. VOTE FOR AMENDMENT NO. 1. Failure to vote for an amendment to the State Constitution is the same as voting against it. That is why the voters of Minne- sota should inform themselves on the amendments to be voted on at the election November 7. The man who passes the amendments by because he does not understand them is blindly voting against them and he may be doing himself and others an injustice. Amendment No. 1 is of vital im- portance to every citizen of the state, for it involves the development of state lands and the building up of the permanent school fund of the state. It provides that a revelving fund of $250,000 shall be set aside for the building of roads and ditches and the clearing of state lands. Under its operation it will be pos- sible for the state which still owns 2,000,000 acres of land in Northern Minnesota, to partially develop tracts of its land and put them on the mar- ket for purchase by actual settlers. The cost of the improvements will be charged against the land and added .to the minimum price so they will he paid by the purchaser. The sale of state lands will thus be hastened and additional funds added to the per- manent school fund; the lands par- tially improved will bring better pri- ces and the permanent school fund will benefit. The amendment does n~* ~-—*~m- plate anv ultimate expen~"*--~~ “v the state. When the need for the re- volving fund exists no longer it will be turned into the permanent school fund intact. Only $250,000 can be used; it will be returned by the pur- chasers of the land, and will be used only until the state land is sold. DON'T YOU REMEMBER: That the greatest prosperity the United. States ever enjoyed in its en- tire history was from 1897 to 1913, when there was a Republican pro- tective tariff continuously in force? That in the 1912 campaign the Democrats contended to us all that prosperity was on such a firm basis it couldn’t be disturbed even by Democratic tariff tinkering? That in the summer of 1914, after the Democratic tariff law had de- stroyed protection for the American producer and workingman and had been in operation a few months, the treasury faced a deficit? That city streets then began to fill with idle workingmen and farmers How’s This? ‘We offer One Hundred Dollars Reward for any case of Catarrh that canmot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Medicine.

Few people realize to what extent their health depends upon the con- dition of the kidneys. The physician in nearly all cases of serious illness, makes a chemical analysis of the patient’s urine. He knows that unless the kidneys are doing their work properly, the other organs cannot readily be brought back to health. and strength. ‘When the kidneys are neglected or abused in any way, serious re- sults are sure to follow. According to health statistics, Bright’s Disease, which is really an advanced form of kidney trouble, caused nearly ten thousand deaths in one year, in the State of New York alone.
