Manager Brinkman is very enthu- siastic about this show, and in. his own words, “If its from the Fox Film Corporation it’s good, I'll bank on that any time.” OPPICIAL COUNTY AND CI™Y PROCEEDINGS “The Mystery of the Yellaw Room" the big ““Special’” feature produced by M HICTHCOCK IS BEING GROOMED. Does President Wilson not intend to again essay a third term in the coming national democratic convention to be held in San Francisco? That seems to be the case by the filing of a petition in Nebraska for Senator Hitchcock as a fight upon Bryan. = i Tt is asserted that members of the administration are de- termined to give “The Commoner” a good beating, owing to his having raised the prohibition question and the treaty issue. Hitchcock is the administration leader on the floor of the senate and until the president makes a declaration that he will not be a candidate it would put Hitchcock in an embarrass- ing position in entering the race. But it seems that Hitchcock is being put forth by some of the closest political friends of Wilson. —_—— ONE OUT OF SIX PEOPLE HAVE BANK ACCOUNT. In his annual report, just made py Comptroller of Currency John Skelton Williams, he gave thé total banking resources of the United States at a total of $45,000,000,000. . Of this the national banks last November held $22,444,000, an increase of $11,585,000,000 since August 1914. State banks -on June 18, last year, held $26,380,000,000, an increase of $11,705,000 since June, 1913. This represents the banking power nine times what it was thirty years ago, and it was declared that one person out of every six has a bank account.

PERFECT SPECIMEN OF WOMANHO0D. Ruth,Budd, who plays the featured role in “A Scream in the Night,” which Select Pictures presents at the Grand theatre tonight and Saturday, legitimately dispute the claim of others to the title of the world’s per- fect woman, in the opinion of scores of critics, both here and abroad, who ‘have seen this new and unique screen personality during her vaudeville tours. As one_reviewer wrote: “We used to think that Annette Kellerman had that ‘wonderful form’ busigess cor- ralled, but after seeing Mfss Budd we're ready to sing, ‘Then Along Came Ruth.’” That Miss Budd can taday call her- self the perfect woman is the result of systematic exercise.

Townley and his hirelings have been loud in their cry for free speech. They are very touchy on this subject. Under our present laws they are allowed as much freedom as anyone else along this line. ‘But they are granted this freedom of speech under our constitution, and we are not of the opinion that the constitution was intended to carry with it a provision for its own overthrow. As long as they conduct themselves as Americans should they will not be criticized and ‘will find no occasion for a wail about free speech.—Winnebago Enterprise. SUN. & MON. 0- STARVING EUROPE AND HUNGRY AMERICA. At the same moment that Secretary of the Treasury Glass was appear- ing before a senate committee and urging a loan of $150,000,000 to feed starving Europe, a delegation of(Chicago people were before another com- mittee at the opposite end of the capitol, pleading for starving America; for tens of thousands of children in Chicago who were suffering from under-nourishment and malnutrition. While Europe is devastated by war, rich America is devastated by the food profiteer. While money is being contributed by the workers of America, in the form of loans and taxes, to keep Europe from starvation, congress debates but refuses to act on measures for curbing the packers, the gamblers, the speculators and the middlemen who exact famine prices from starving America. Therg can be famine in the midst of prosperity, as well as in the midst of desolation. And famine in some form or other is a permanent condition of millions of workers in free America. g . ; The case is simple. The profiteers are in politics. The consumers are not.—Labor. It is high time that we all either become profiteers or engage i politics—but what ever we do let’s be Americans firgt. it o RO, “WHERE TO LIVE”; THAT'S THE QUESTION.

The city park at Diamond Point was made a most popular resort for the tourists last summer. P. M. Pgterson. under whose supervision this park was operated, made many friends for the city of Bemidji, as well as for himself. He was pleasant, obliging and accommodating to the stranger within our gates, and this' goes a long ways toward inducing that stranger to come again.
