Complaint is made by federal authorities that the pur- veyors of worthless stocks are reaping a rich harvest just now. The complaint is just. They are. They are likely to continue. There are many wage work- ers whose occupation calls for a very limited degree of skill, but who have succeeded in getting a fancy price for their labor —a price somewhat disproportionate to the degree of dexterity needed in their calling. As a result, they have money in amounts which they can hardly contemplate with calmness. Never before were there so many illiterates with money. bAmd the bogus company sharks it seems almost too good to e true. Here are credulous and confiding ones whom it is almost a pity to rob. It is a shame to take the money. Candy from a baby. all generations. A fool and his money. Most proverbs are true for From which it will be seen that the temporary dissemina- tion of money does not make for democracy. back into the hands of the few—the financiers. It is getting The posses- sion of a little elementary education and fairly well developed intelligence is just as valuable to a working man as it ever was. The boys had better cultivate it; and they’ll know how to keep their money when they’ve got it. —_——————— HERE’S WHY. The kidnapping of American officers by Mexican oppor- tunists does not seem to have caused that surge of national indignation which might have been expected. On the whole, we seem to have contemplated the outrage with academic calm. One might say callousness—almost unconsciousness. .Yet every man of every nation seems to resent an insult to his nationality. What other explanation is there of race riots? If a foreigner on a construction gang addresses another in'terms that are derogatory, there is at once a physical argu- ment. It is natural for a man to feel indignant when his native land is singled out for affront. It is the normal position for a healthy man to take, - :By’what miracle of psychology, then, do Americans endure the insults of Mexico with such phlegmatic indifference? .. When we finally recognize the fact that we are without _a‘spirit of national unity, we will doubtiess begin to correct the poisonous defect for the first time. We shall make one step in the right direction when we recognize it as a truth. NSO SR ) DEPUTY URGES BOOSTING FOR NORMAL. President Deputy of the Bemidji normal school says “Talk normal.:- Tell the people what it really is.” The head of the state normal tells of a party from North Dakota, en route to Bemidji, who inquired about the Bemidji normal, whilé in a neighboring city and was informed that the normal had not yet been built. . #We have a full fledged normal school going at full blast in all departments,” ‘declared President Deputy, “and every person should make it a point to let it be known.” The above was made known when Mr. Deputy spoke at the weekly noon day luncheon of the Bemidji association Wed- nesday, and it shows what misinformation careless speech and ignordnce of the subject can impart and of damaging char- acter.’ The thing to do, for any one who desires to know about . the new normal is to write to the president or ask any citizen of Bemidji. ; C L e—————— AN INTERESTING ASSOCIATION SESSION. What was generally conceded to have been one of the best anq most interesting programs of speaking at the Bemidji as- sociation lunchons was that of Wednesday, sponsored by Presi- dent R. L. Given, and there was a large attendance that was ap- preciative. The potato market was the subject of prominence dis- cussed and experts in this line were free to give advice as to the best action on the part of growers for means of solving nrob- lems for both grower and buyer. What was said was valuable to every one who heard the speakers, and they included such as' Morris Kaplan, a heavy buyer and shipper; F. G. Troppman, ! ... also a large buyer and shipper, and A. W. Aamodt, a.gri(:ultm'a]y agent of South Beltrami county, and one of the best known' potato experts in the state, - NEWS OF THE THEATERS GRAND TONIGHT, SUNDAY. Madge Kennedy again proves her- gelf one of the finest exponents of high comedy which America has pro- duced by her performance in the new © Goldwyn picture, “Strictly Confiden- tial,” which is now being shown at the Grand theatre. tonight and Sunday. The story, wuich is the film trans- lation of Jerome K. Jerome's peren- . nially delightful Servant Problem” every opportunity to reveal her sub- tle sense of comedy, the charm of her dainty personality and the winsome mannerisms that have endeared her ‘t6 the American theatre and motion picture public. She is at her best in stories with real plot value, in which the comic interest results from the tragic position in which the heroine 5 placed. This is real comedy, and Miss Kennedy meets a genuinely hu- which every one of the twenty-three servants is a relative of hers. Madge Kennedy and “Strictly Con- fidential’ is a rare combination that is certain to add to the reputation of the star and of Goldwyn. A rollicking Keystone comedy, “Maid Mad,” will be shown, starring Charles Murray. It will be seen “A WHITE MAN’S CHANCE.” In “A White Man’s Chance,” J. Warren Kerrigan’s initial Robert Brunton screen feature for W. W. Hodkinson distribution which comes to the Grand theatre Monday and Tuesday, the noted shadow stage hero is seen in a novel role.

No matter how weak a fnan’s char- acter or how mean he is, one can be reasonably assured toat some day, sooner or later, the strong and good traits within him®are going to:over- whelm the evil and’¢ause him to fight for right. This fs a strong point clearly conveyed by Wallace Reid in his portrayal of ® Larry -Young in Paramount photoplay, ‘‘Alias, Mike Moran,” which: will be shown at the; Elko theatre. tonight,. also Sunday, matinee and evening. The picture is an excellent one.. It was directed by James Cruze, and Ann Litt.e-is the leading woman. Other features at the' Elko tonight and tomorrow are Mack ™ Sennett’s comedy ‘‘Among Those Present,” the special film ‘‘The Dairy Cow,” and music each evening by the Elko orchestra. WOMAN’S WIT A FORCE. Woman’s wit as a successful com- batant force, against the intrigue of scheming vicious man is forcefully and humorously portrayed in Thomas H. Ince’s latest photoplay, “The Homebreaker,”” which comes as an Ince-Paramount offering starring beautiful and vivacious Dorothy Dal- ton, to the Elko theatre next Mon- day and Tuesday. 4 Johannesburg Now Metropolis.
