ROOT MAKES GOOD INSTANTER Mr. Root’s first address to the Russian government was couched in the language of sentiment calculated to appeal to the Slavonic mind, and it concluded with a. highly practical suggestion which must have had great effect upon the Petrograd cabinet in its present stress. At any rate, the result was prompt and highly satisfactory. The Council of Min- dsters immediately declared their purpose to continue the war, and the Duma at once followed suit with a resolution which substantially ordered an immediate offensive by the Russian armies. There 18 no doubt that a thrust by the Russians just now will materially increase the difficulties of the Germans and Austrians—for it will compel the one to withdraw the movement of its forces to the western front and the other to cease strengthening its resistance to the Italians above Trieste. German in- trigue in Russia has been checked, apparently; and the credit is due more largely to Mr. Root than to any other cause. It is worth noting that Mr. Root is the first Republican whom the Democratic administration has called to its aid, and that the assistance which he has given is most helpful. There are other Republicans, as capable in other lines as Mr. Root 18 in diplomacy; and if the president should see fit to call upon them for co-operation, he would secure results commensurate with those which Mr. Root’s service has produced. ONE DOLLAR VS. FOUR DOLLARS Fault finding and railing at congress is not a pleasure to any editor. It is a nuisance—it leaves a nasty taste in the mouth. But there are times when railing is not only a virtue, but an absolute necessity if the people are to be protected from petty thieves and highway robber barons. The retail price of potatoes is a fair illustration of the results of congressional slacking. . Up in the potato districts of Wisconsin farmers are reported to be receiving a dollar a bushel for their output. In Chicago, only a com- paratively few miles distant, the consumer is paying four dollars a bushel. Who gets the three dollars? . If there was ever a time in the history of our country when the Am- erican people should rise up in their might and demand congressional action that time is RIGHT NOW. Robber food barons will suck the blood of the consumer just as long as congress dallies and slacks and does nothing, and with a few notable exceptions the national law-makers will do absolutely nothing until they are literally kicked to the point of performing their sworn duty. Speed up the kicker! We've had our “missions” from England and France, from Russia and Italy and Belgium, with a Japanese mission hovering in the offering. | Truly, this must be a land of milk and honey for the Come on, Carranza! “‘missionaries.” We call hlm‘the “food hog” because we can not find a word in the English language degrading enough to be appropriate.

To thoroughly know the virtues of a medicine you must investigate its work. Doan's Kidney Pills stand this test ,and plenty of proof exists right here in this locality. People who tes- tified years ago to relief from back- ache, kidney and urinary disorders, now give confirmed testimony—de- clare the results have lasted. Can any Bemidji sufferer longer doubt the evidence? Mrs. O. W. Erwin, Turtle River, Minn., says: ‘“Some three years ago my kidneys began to do their work poorly. I was so bad off, that I thought I would die. My back was very weak and I couldn’t bend over without being in agony. The kidney secretions were scanty and contained sediment. My breath came in gasps and I often felt as though I was smothering. My whole body bloated and I often lay awake half the night, gasping for breath. 1 was so dis- couraged that I thought death would be a relief.

Tovers of Dickens will delight in Bluebird’s presentation of ‘The Right to Be Happy,” at the Rex theater tonight, with Rupert Julian impersonating Scrooge, the flinty- hearted old ‘“‘grouch” of “A Christ- mas Carol.” Tiny Tim will be there, and kindly Bob Cratchit will be on the screen, natural as in Dickens’ life-like word pictures. The ghost of Jacob Marley and the visions re- flected to Scrooge’s mental view, in the flying trips he took with the ghost of Christmas Past, Christmas Present and Christmas Future will be realistically reflected through the matchless opportunities afforded by trickery of the moving picture cam- era. A new h?angle-l(ay Bee picture, featuring William Desmond, is a play of love and finance that will cause many thrills and heart throbs as you follow the fortunes of a man, who hated business, who was turned adrift by his money-grubbing father, who married a chorus girl and was aroused by her to deeds of daring| and energy that culminated in the saving of his own father from his business enemies.
