In every section of the country men of every political faith have denounced the disgraceful fillibuster. Ministers, merchants, profes- sional men, farmers, laborers, women, everywhere show & determination to assert for once and all American rights upon the sess, even if it leads to the war we so ardently desire to escape. The people do not want war it it can be honorably avoided, but they are ready to fight and sacrifice for the retention of their honor and their rights of life and commerce if it becomes necessary to do so. Today ‘there is a grim set to the American countenance that means stern business. BIG BUSINESS T0 THE FRONT Another thing we have noted with a degree of pride in our own coun- try. “Big Business” has come right to the front in the crisis. Heads of great manufacturing concerns, railroad corporations, engineering firms, all assured the government that their corporations and their individual gervices are at the disposal @&f the government if war comes. There is 1ittle noise or loud talk, but everywhere a spirit of calm and inflexible purpose is evident. And this spirit is not confined to “Big Business alone. “Little Business” marches right up at the front, labor leaders are pledging the loyalty and assistance of their organizations, farmers are offering both men and foodstuffs, and women are banding together by the hundreds of thousands in the common cause. Political consideration are kicked aside, religious zeal even urges the people on to greater ferver and patriotism. American people are being solidified as they have never been before since the days of Washington. And they are ready to meet whatever is before them. REASONS WHY EDITORS ARE RICH A child is born in the neighborhood; the attending physician gets $10. The editor gives the loud-mouthed youngster and the happy parents a send- off and gets $0. It grows up and marries. The editor publishes another long-winded article and tells a dozen lies about the “beautiful and accomplished bride.” In the course of time it dies. The doctor gets from $25 to $100, and the undertaker gets from $50 to $200; the editor publishes a notice of its death and an obituary two columns long, and gets $000. No wonder so many editors are rich.—Pittsburgh Catholic.

THE BEMIDJI RIFLE CLUB WANTS NEW MEMBERS (Communicated) The Bemidji Rifle club has ac- quired an option on land for a new range which, it is said, will be equal- ed only in the Northwest by that at Fort Snelling. The lack of money in the treasury to equip this range with modern target carriers and transfer of the old equipment to the new location is the only obstacle in the way of Bemidji having one of the finest civilian rifle ranges in the state. Although enough citizens have sig- nified their intention of joining tnis spring to furnish the necessary money they apparently are waiting for the shooting season to open but the club needs the money now in order to move the old equipment be- ‘fore the bottom gives out of an in- tervening swamp and to get the new range in working condition before the weather permits shooting over it. Mr. Randolph, the club secretary, has been informed by the war de- partment that a bill that was crowd- ed out by the recent filibuster in the Senate will come up at the extra ses- sion soon and authorize the issue of free 1906 model ammunition to own- ers of Springfleld rifies. Any club member qualifying as sharpshooter or better may obtain title to the Spring- field or new Krag rifles or to any military arm in recent use by the United States army at the price charged to the army, which is prac- tically cost of manufactitre. . For instance, the Colt’s .46 atito= matic military model listed at §22 before the war, the qualified club members may obtain title for $13.79. Any citizen of the United States between the aged of 16 and 45, de- siring to join the club should apply to Julius Miller, treasurer, or H. J. Loud, executive officer, and “do it now.” IS IMPROVING William Gallager, son of Mrs. Mary Gallager of Turtle River who has been ill for the past several days, is improving. Do Not Lend Your Keys. If you happen to be walking along the street and some one asks you to let him have you:r bunch of keys for a moment, don’t do it. He will tell you that he has forgotten his own keys and he wants to try your key to get into his home. It is a fraud. Some one we know did it the other day. The thief actually took the impression in wax of the key. Then he got a key BLOCKADED - Every Household in Bemidji Should Know How to Resist It.

Recommended by thousands--home testimony proves their merit. | .Oliver Gordhamer, carpenter, 1200 Dewey Ave., carpenter, says: “I was stiff and lame every morning and it hurt me to bring any strain on my back. I believe it was heavy lifting and hard work that brought on the trouble. I was handicapped in doing my work, especially stooping or lift- ing. Three or four boxes of Doan’s Kidney Pills strengthened my back and made me well. I have had no trouble since.” Price 50c, at all dealers. Don’t simply asgk for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mr. Gordbamer had.

Different Hulls, While Isaac Hull, who commanded the Constitution in the war of 1812, is a great figure in our annals, his uncle, General William Hull, holds a very dif- ferent position, as # was be who sur- rendered his force to the British, much to the disgust of his officers and men. Hull, who had fought under Washing- ton, was in command of the army, and by his surrender we lost the ground made. Then he robbed the apartment.

Rough on George. “Did you tell George Hector that he might ask me to marry him?” “Certainly,” replied Gwendolin’s fa- ther. “I thought you would try to inter- fere.” “I had no such idea.

But with the gradual improvement and de- velopment in machkines for sewing soles and uppers and the vast expan- sion of the factory system the manu- facture of footgear has taken tremen- dous strides. The “custom™ shoemaker of the kind favored by the millionaire or the men and women of fashion no longer uses handwork on bhis shoes, whatever may be his plausible an- nouncement to his ultra exclusive cli entele, for every boot worn in these days by the willionaire or the day la borer, by the woman of society or the factory girl. is cut. joined and sewe.! hv machinery.—New York World. from Detroit to Fort Dearborn, which is where Chicago now stands. Hull was sentenced to be executed, but was finally reprieved. Japan’s i.anguage. There was no written language in Japan till Chinese characters were in- troduced into Japan from Korea in the reign of the Emperor Ojin, in 285 A. D. The inconvenience caused by Chinese characters led afterward to the inven- tion of katakana and hiragana, the Japanese syllabary, which coatributed much toward impreving the national lunguage. Gilbert Stuart, the painter, once said of his favorite subject: “There were features in Washington’s face totally different from what I have observed in any other human being. The sockets of the eyes, for instance, were larger than I ever met with before and the upper part of the nose broader. All his features were indicative of strong pas- sion, yet, like Socrates, his judgment and great self command made him ap- pear a man of different class in the eyes of the world.” Wing effects at the back of avening dresses are distinctive. They are gen- erally produced by tulle draperies, and these are often garnished with metal threads. They float gracefully about the arms and also fall over the train at the back.
