If it wasn’t for the fact that Bemidji is well acquainted with the Pan Motor company of St. Cloud, which has been under a barrage of probes, vitrolic attacks, printed and.verbal, in which everything not little short of safe blowing has been charged, one would almost imagine that the company man- agement had about the best press bureau of any similar in- dustry, for after a great hulabaloo has been raised about dire and dreadful things incident to the company and its officials and the probe is inserted, there is singing in low voice. Last month there was another investigation on the part of stockholders of Monte Vista, Colo. They had heard and read: of various attacks upon the Pan company by what were alleged to -have been jealous rivals, and to satisfy themselves a special committee was appointed to visit St. Cloud, which trip was made. And here is what the Journal of that city has to say of their investigation: “Frank Stephens and J. T. Tyner returned home the fore part of the week from St. Cloud, Minnesota, where they have been for several days making an investigation of the plant and methods of doing business of the Pan Motor company. “Both of these gentlemen express themselves as having been very much surprised at the Pan factory which they de- scribed as a wonderful plant and manufacturing institution. Not only this, but the most exhaustive inquiry from all avaliable sources failed to reveal to them any ground for the belief that the president and directors of the company were dishonest or in any way misappropriating the company’s funds. Their in- vestigation convinced them that the Pan Motor company is a _going concern; that the progress made to date is most re- markable. “Mr. Tyner and Mr. Stephens are well known in this com- munity as reliable men and their opinion of Pan Motor carries the weight of their honesty. Their written report of their find- ings at St. Cloud will be found in this issue of the Journal.” The report is exhaustive and in detail and one of the strongest endorsements of the company we ever saw. No one ~ seems to know what it is all about, but at that the traducers are the best boosters for this successful concern. : . + —o0 hBOR NOT POLITICALLY DEMOCRATIC. “The democratic party and the socialist party are dead and the republican party is coming into power,” said John Fitzpatrick, president of the Chicago Federation of Labor and recently candidate of the labor party for mayor of his home city, Chicago, in an interview at the American Federation of Labor convention in Atlantic City, N. J. “Neither the democratic nor the socialist party now satis- fies the conservative and constructive demands of laber,” he went on. “Except in words they do not know that a new order is at hand. The republican party will sweep the country next year and then will come into national prominence a labor party, which will take the place of the then defunct democratic organization. We did not make so much of a showing with our 50,000 votes in the Chicago election, but we made a start| in the direction of a labor party, and since then have elected mayors of nine cities in Illinois. Of course, if the republican party satisfies our ends, all well and good, but, take it from me, the democratic and socialist parties are dead so far as labor is concerned.” —0 It is hoped that Bemidji auto owners will each take some of the editorial party to Lake Itasca park tomorrow morning, returning in the evening, for the outing will be part of the program. It will require no effort nor inconvenience but will add xpt_xch to the enjoyment and appreciation on the part of the visitors, and result in closely cemented friendship of the state press for Bemidji. If you haven’t volunteered, see or phone Harry Reynolds at the Commercial club quarters. R — 8 When Congressman Knutson terminated his long special trip from Washington to meet with the Northern Minnesota Editorial association, of which he was one time president, did he start out on a handshaking round? He did nothing of the kind. He hunted up a fish pole, line and some bait, and that’s} the last seen of him until late in the day. Anyone who didn’t know could easily have guessed he was a Minnesotan. i B e — It is duly decognized that Senators Kellogg and Nelson are unable to leave their duties at Washington at this time and be present at the editorial association meeting, but their regrets and best wishes are worth a great deal, for they are with the ;tm:tte eg;tors in spirit, though detained by duty for their con- ituents. : . .

That haters of women have no place in society and that their pre- tensions are. insincere is adequately proved by ‘Marguerite Clark in. her splendid characterization of the role of Sylvia Weston, in her latest Para- mount photoplay, “Three Men and a Girl,” which will be shown at. the Eilko-theatre next Monday and_Tues- day. In this pleture three men, re- spectively designated by Sylvia as the “big, middle-sized and little bear,” flee to the country to escape the so- ciety of women. Then comes Sylvia. How could any man hate so delight- ful a girl as Sylvia Weston, person- ated by Marguerite Clark? ALMA RUBEN’S BEAUTY. Alma Rubens; who is starred in “Diane of the Green Van,” a screen dramatization of Leona Dalrymple’s story which won a $10,000 prize in a competition by a Chicago publish- ing house; and showing tonight and Sunday at the Grand theatre is for- tunately cast. The oriental type of Miss Ruben’s beauty fits the gypsy- like Diane to perfection in this story of romance, mystery and intrigue. Diane Westfall longed fer the open trail and the zest of adventure. Cities and lights and cafes had lost their charm for the girl whose mother 'was of the warm south, halt Semiole and half Spanish, and she felt the call of ‘the blood. So she fitted up a Gypsy wagon and struck the trail for Florida. e Philip Poynter in a hay wagon and an Houdanian prince in the disguise of an . itinerant organ-grinder, fol- lowed her van. > The intrigue and mystery of the story is gripping, while the richness and beauty of the settings and sgenes are noteworthy for their lavishness. The night scenes in the Everglades showing the moss covered trees and exotic follage of Florida are unsur- passed. g o ALICE JOYCE SCORES TRIUMPH OF HER CAREER Alice Joyce, it is conceded, scores her greatest screen triumph in “The Lion and the Mouse,”’ the Vitagraph super-feature, which will be seen in the Grand theatre on Monday and Tuesday. The story was written by the late Charles Klein, and the pic- ture is adapted from the famous stage success of that name.
