King, farmer-labor candidate for governor, that he should drop out of the race, Dr. Henrik Shipstéad has filed independently for the gubernatorial office. He still is unable to realize that he is not wanted by the majority. At least A. C. Townley, non-partisan boss, lost out on his plans to have King withdraw for-the substitution of Shipstead and this fact alone shows that his control is fast weakening. Two other candidates who lost out in_the pri- maries are to make another attempt to gain office in Minnesota through filing on the independent ticket. They are George H. Mallon, candidate for lieutenant-governor, and Thomas 'Sullivan, candi- date for attorney general. These men are also followers of Townley and no doubt their filing on ' the independent ticket was the result of his en- couragement. Cyrus M. King is to be complimented, at least, that he did not' withdraw in favor of. the non- J-partis GARdIAte: ™ The VoHng 6n the four predent 1HE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER 4 b U candidates for governor of Minnesota may :develop into a very close race between:Preus and King it now stands, with Preus on the upper shelf. AR T VOTE FOR AMENDMENT NO. 1. In a recent report of conditions in the state of Minnesota, gathered by the Merchants Nationpl bank of, St. Paul with the assistance of leading ‘banks in every county of the state, it is shown that more than seventy of the eighty-six counties in Minnesota report very favorably. in favor of the Babcock good roads plan. Not one adverse report was sent in. ., . If the reports can be used as a mark by which to judge the outcome of the vote for Amendment No. 1 at the polls in November, these counties are to be highly complimented upon the action they ‘have taken. 5 : g g The fact that good roads are to play a major part in the growth -of the state is . very evident, and if the Babcock plan passes Minnesota will soon be on the right road to further improvements along every possible line. Voters must. realize, however, that in order to have this amendment carry at the fall election they must vote for it. Failure to vote is to be counted as a vote against it, and unless every voter ex- presses his opinion of the project at the polls the plan may be hopelessly lost. S SR CABLE CENSORSHIP ABOLISHED. One of the first steps taken by the present gov- " ernment of Mexico was the abolition of the censor- ship on cable dispatches, a -tegulation which had existed throughout the revolutionary years as is customary in time of war among all nations. Nothing could so well demonstrate the present con- dition of affairs as. the recognition that such a regulation is no long(zr necessary. It bore heavily upon_foreign correspondents, and was the indirect means of causing the very condition that it was intended to -prevent—the sending out' of sensa- tioal and ill-founded reports which went by other channels than the cable. Happily this is now ended, and the good results of this action-became-apparent almost at once. ‘ WERE BURIED IN PYRAMIDS Azxtec Dignitaries Had imposing Tombs ..

S. got into the war still is under the trusteeship of Alien Property Custodian Garvin, it was estimated here today. According to this estimate, some- thing like $300,000,000 worth of property” has been .returned to its owners under the amendment to the Trading-With-the Enemy act passed last fall by Congress. Exact-details of the transaction will not be avail- able until Garvin makes his annual report to Congress. Future disposition of the property still held is one of the problems that | will confront the Congress which set- tles the question of the peace treaty. The property still held which in- cludes hundreds of going concerns manufacturing practically every pro- duct from chemicals to steel, now is piling up profits which further com- plicate the problem of what disposi- tion to make. These profits now are being invested in Liberty bonds and government securities subject to the directlon of the treasury department. *Approximately 25,000 persons of German and Austrian origin were in- terested in the property seized by the alien property custodian. A smaller number of Americans are, or were, owners of property seized by Germ- any when the U. S. entered the war. Provision for return of this Ameri- can property by Germany is made in the peace treaty. Due to the fact that the U. S. has not ratified the treaty; no returns have yet been made by the Germans. : When France, Great Britain and Italy approved the treaty, their gov- ernments at once began arrange- ments to credit .Germany with the value of the property held. Whence Comes Turpentine. Most people know that turpentine | is a product of the pine tree, but are not acquainted with the means by which it fs obtained. Beneath the bark of the: tree wre resin-secreting cells, whose output is meant by.nature for healing wounds. It the skin of the tree be wounded severely, many more of these cells, much larger in size, develop and pour out great quantities of resin. Hence, to procure the resin, the bark fs well scarred with cuts (preferably made in a series of parallel V's), and a receptacle is placed beneath to | catch the fluid. as it exudes. The fluld is then distilled and the volatile part of it, which passes over, 1s_turpentine. The residue is whatwe call “rosin” and is used for many pur- poses, one of its employments being in the manufacture of explosives.—Kan- sas :City. Star. i .
