Within the ranks of labor, in the United States and Canada, is raging the fight between “the one big union’ ’and the craft unions. That is, there is a fight between radicalism and conser- vatism, between the forces represented by Haywood and the 1. W. W. and those represented by Gompers and the American Federation of Labor. . It is a mighty important fight, too—a fight in which every man, woman and child in America is vitally concerned. i And there is no possibility of doubt on which side lies na- tional security and the well-being of the American peoplq; it lies on the side of conservatism, of Gompers and the American Federation of Labor. . ] Anybody who thinks he is willing to take a chance with Haywood and the I. W. W. should take another glance at Rus- sia. . Yet those who will fight ALL unions—there are some of them among us yet—are helping those who fight all unions ex- cept “the one big union” of Haywood, the I. W. W. and Bol- shevism! . Just as sure as tomorrow’s dawn, that is what they are doing. Blindly, bigotedly, stupidly, thinking they fight for their own independence of “dictation” or something like that, they .are working for the defeat of Gompers, and what he stands for, and for the triumph of Haywood and what HE stands for. Craft unionism, the kind of unionism we are most familiar with, the kind that the thoughtless among us deride whey they speak contemptuously of unionism, has reached its present stage of strength and achievement despite the opposition of most employers. : Now, when perhaps a majority of employers are recon- ciled to it, it faces the hardest fight in its history in the effort of the red radicals to destroy craft unionism and to substitute “the one big union’ ’which is typified by Haywood and is so closely allied with the soveit rule of Trotzky and Lenine! Now when the American Federation of Labor, is exhibiting " the things for which it stands, is a good time to consider this question and, in the light of the, question whether we would rather have Gompers or Haywood, to revise old prejudices against unionism.—Duluth Herald. : CEREEN In the birth-registration area of the United States 1,353,- 792 infants were born alive in 1917, representing a birth rate of 24.6 per 1000 of population. The total number of deaths in the same area was 776,222, or 14,1 per 1,000. The births ex- ceeded the deaths by 74.4 per cent. For every state in the regis- tration area, for practically all the cities, and for nearly all the counties, the births exceeded the deaths, in most cases by con- siderable proportion. The mortality rate for infants under 1 year of age averaged 93.8 per living births. The foregoing are among the facts brought out by the Census Bureau’s annual] compilation of birth statistics. In Minnesota there were 54, 795 births during 1917, o Another point in favor of the Babcock amendment is that each one of the six million one hundred thousand and odd motor cars in the United States, when it runs on unimproved roads, pays about twite as much for tires and gasoline as when it runs on surfaced roads. There are about eight times as many un- .improved as improved public roads in the country. —0 Illinois has won 18 the scramble with Wisconsin, Pennsyl- vania, Michigan and Ohio to be the first to ratify the federal suffrage amendment. Governor Burnquist has promised to call the Minnesota legislature in special session to act on the amend- ment just as soon as he finds that sufficient votes to assure its adoption have been pledged. Quick ratification of the am- endment is expected in twenty-eight states. %‘: mighty fist to cinvince his opponent, Russell Simpson, that he wasn’t mis- named. Strong has the role of Jim Cleeve, sweetheart of Jaan Randall, played by Blanche Bates, who is mak- ing her first screen appearance as co- star with Hobart Bosworth in “The Border Legion,” which Goldwyn pre- sents at the Grand theatre, tonight and Thursday. NEWS OF THE " THEATERS OWEN MOORE RETURNS. The brilliant pageantry of the world-famed New Orleans Mardi Gras, the great pre-Lenten carnival that has become as firm an institu- tion in this country as the Passion Play has in Oberammergau, has been fittingly brought out by Rex Beach in his latest production, ‘“The Crim- son Gardenia,” which is to be shown at the Grand theatre next Saturday and Sunday. Gay floats, gaudy costumes and a harlequinade of decorations have for years lent the carnival atmosphere to the Cresent City’s annual high jinks no detail of which has been ommitted in the production .by either Mr. Beach or Director Regin- ald Barker. , Tne true Mardi Gras at- mosphere has been preserved, and famed historical floats presenting the work of the country’s leading masque artists, appear in the drama, which was produced.for Goldwyn. STRONG VS. SIMPSON. Stirring fist fights are not uncom- mon in screen productions, but for ferocity and damage wrought the bat- tle of brawn and ring science staged in “The Border Legion,” the picturi- zation of Zane Grey's widely read story, will stand as a record to be punched at by inspiring screen fight- ers for a long time to come. One of the principals in the thrill- .ing battle is Eugene Strong, and it took but a few wallops from his V. a— Simpson is cast as Overland Brad- ley, a miner who also covets Joan. When later Joan hands her engage- ment ring back to Jim with the ag- cusation that he is “shiftless and too cowardly even to be bad.” Jim con- cludes that Bradley has hdd a hand in bringing about his separation from| Joan. He finds his conclusions well based when Bradley, in the presence of a score of miners, taunts him with having lost Joan’s love. The by- standers aleo scoff at Cleeve, prefer- ring to ,take sides with Bradley, known as the best rough and tumble scrapper in the camp. Bradley’s reputation, however, hold no terors for Jim. He storms at Bradley and to the amazement of the crowd invites him out in the road to settle their differences with their fists. [y .HAS GREAT ROLE. Wallace Reid is one of the screen’s most ‘popular and handsomest leading men. He is a player with personal- ity, address and action. He has done so many fine things that a cat- alogue of ‘them would be formidable it given in its entirety. One of his most recent successes was ‘“‘The Roaring Road,” preceded by ‘‘Believe Me, Xantippe.”” Wallace Reid is ‘blessed with more than ordinary good looks, but withal he has re- tained His poise and intelligent in- terest in his work. Personally the most lovn* of ehaps, as ar actor he 'i'HE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER sends across the screen that same en- gaging ,quality which has resulted in_endearing him to.film patrons far and near. There are few film stars today who receive a greater amount |’ of mail expressive of the pleasure he gives the writers thin:Wallace Reid. His versatilty, talent and imagina- tion are placing him in the roster of the truly great performers for the photoplay. - “I' like :any ‘play that has red blood in-it,” recently declared Mr. Reid, star of *“The ‘Man From Funeral - Range,” which -will ' be shown at the Elko -today and tomor- row. ‘I like this picture because of that very thing. Also, because it is realistic and full of tense situations. I think’ the public will like it for these reasons.” AT THE REX TODAY. Rita Chardles is a $25-a-week steno- grapher who Jlooks as if .she made $100 a week in the show at.the Rex tonight. Her main object in life is to get all she possibly can:-out of it. She will be a “pal” to-any man— only a .pal—if he will show her a good time. Rita Charles is one of those girls who are forever playing with fire, but through some miracle always escape being burned. In or- dinary society this type "of girl is known as a tinpanner. Rita—this particular tinpanner— was stenographer to T. J. Olverson during the day and ‘“pal” to Harri- son Chalvey, a wealthy New Yorker, at night. At a wedding she meets Dr. Varian, a handsome young set- tlement doctor. He immediately falls in love with her and she becomes deeply interested in him, but as she knows he cannot give her what she considers the all-important thing in| life—money—she does not encour- age him. 5 \ “WHEN A GIRL LOVES: The girl stood horrified. “Eagle” Ryan, the man’she had] grown to love, had confessed to her: that he was not the man he had pre- tended to be, but the leader of & band; of outlaws and an atheist. She was|| the daughter of a minister. Ryan, had told her all—told her because he had found in her the ‘‘right wom-; an” and because the “man” in him would pot let him keep it from her. WORLD’S RECORD IS i -BROKEN BY TANLAC Bottles Sold In Four Years Would Reach From New York to Dénver, Colo. Four years ago very few people had ever heard of Tanlac. Today it un- questionably has the largest sale of any medicine in the world, and is as well known in Canada ss in this country. In the brief period of only four years time this now famous rem- edy has leaped from obscurity to the very yinacle of success. :Its fame in fact, 'has long since spread beyond the limits of the continent and num- erous inquiries regarding’ it are now being received from many foreign countries. Very few people, however, fully realize what a really wonderful rec- ord Tanlac has made. were not for the unquestionable facts and figures given out by the laggest and best known drug firms of the country the story of its success would be hard to believe. Up to January first the total sales of Tanlac amounted to approximately twelve million bottles. The demand however is increasing, for during the first ten weeks of this year over one million bottles were sold and distrib- uted in the United States and Can- ada, the exact figures being 1,306,- 186 in three months. At this rate, therefore, the sales for the present year will amount to more than five million bottles. This will mean that 17,000 bottles of Tan.' lac will be sold during every day of: the year, or 2,100 bottles for every hour of the average working day. These figures are too stupendous for the average mind to grasp, but one may visualize what twelve million bottles mean by imagining them laid out in a single file end to end. Thus laid they would make a track of Tanlac from Netv ?ork through Chi- cago, and on to Denver, Colorado; or they would form a double track of Tanlac from the Great Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico. Piled end on end they would tower 135 times as high as Pike’s Peak, or raise 13,333 times higher than the Woolworth Building in New York, the tallest building in the world. The demand for Tanlac has become s0 great that its sale instead of be- ing measured by the gross as other preparations have been, is now reck- oned by the carload, and even by the train load. In proof of this it is a noteworthy fact that the leading druggist jobbers everywhere now buy Tanlac almost exclusively in car load lots. To supply the Pacific Coast trade alone requires from forty to fifty car loads per year—Jobbers of the Middle ‘West are selling from seventy-to eigh- ty cars per year. i The well known drug firm of Hes- sig-Ellis Drug Company of Mem- phis, Tenressee, has sold over forty car loads since the introduction of Tanlac in that state four years ago. Within the past ninety days, ten car loads of Tanlac have gone to supply the demand of British Colum- bia, Saskatchewan, Alberta and Mani- toba, Canada. The Owl Drug Company of San Francisco, the largest retail druggists on the Pacific Coast, state that they have sold more than 180,000 bottles at retail, which surpasses the remark- able record of the Jacobs Pharmacy. Company of Atlanta, who have sold g)_],)roxlmately 80,000 bottles at re- il. Tanlac is composed of the most beneficial roots and herbs ¥nown to science. The formula complies with all national and state pure food and health laws of both the United States and Canada; and absolutesmerit and merit alone is responsible for its phe- nominal and unprecedented success. Tanlac is sold in Bemidji ll;z'l(.",ity Drug Store, in Kelliher by . R. Sterling, in Blackduck by French & Moon, and in Beaudette by J. W. Williams, - . Indeed, if it} Then he ‘left her to meet his old gang face to face and tell them that the big gold theft he had himself planned, was “‘all off.”, ‘With flashing eyes he defied the men he had ‘double-crossed,’” as they. put it: “You can get that $50,000 ‘button’ only over my dead body,” he said. ‘The gold belongs to you the minute you kill me. One man fired, and “Eagle” Ryan' dropped. But he was not killed, and the gang did not get the gold. Bess, the minister’s daughter, did not leave him. A story of more ;than ordinary thrills and heart iinterest is told in “When a Girl Loves,” the latest Lois Weber production in which mildred Harris —mow Mrs. Charlie Chaplin will ap. goar at the Rex tomorrow and Fri- Y. “DADDY LONG LEGS.” Startling is the comparison in the rearing of children as pictured in “Daddy Long wegs,” screen version of the celebrated story by Jean Web- ster, and the newest Mary Pickford super-feature which will be shown at the Rex theatre Sunday. Miss Pick- ford has the role of Judy Abbott, a child who has been thrown upon the world a few hours a{ter birth by her unknown parents. She is found, a wee pathetic ‘bundle in an ash ¢an, by a policeman. She is taken to the John Grier Orphan asylum, where she is given a name from the tele- phone book. , Then she starts a life which is one‘meal of prunes and thin goup after another. Clad in the eternal striped gingham and forced to take the cuffs of an inhuman head matron who never smiles or says a kind word -unless the trustees are due, :Judy becomes a twin sister to rebellion. In contrast to her rearing is shown'the life of Angelica Wyckoft, ] a hot house flower, who has had from Jher birth every luxury and comfort to give her a most disagreeable dis- position. Later, when the little or- phan girl ie given her big chance to 8o to college, and to choose between the love of two fine men, the former visitor at the home, Angelica, who tried to bully Judy as a child rises to haunt the asylum girl with whis- perings of her past. . 3 e e e DRY CLEANING Clothes Cleaners for Men, Women and Children Try Palace Cafe for the best meals in town “SOMETHING DIFFERENT” Open ddy and night -312 Minnesota avenue Phone 291-W ——MERCHANTS WEDNESDAY EVENING, JUNE 11, 1919 ! ; ; Soldier at Home. ‘Worcester, Mass.—Herbert Dixon, a -private in the medical corps at Camp:}- Devens, was in the army one year gnd never left his home town of Harvard, Worcester ¢ounty, Private Dixon was stationed at Camp Devens, and his unit occupled grounds at Harvard. ‘“Some war,” he complained, and added that he couldn’t see why they didn’t send bim to France.with hlp,bmghu.
