Atkinson of the News goes after our former townsman, T F. Brady without gloves and stamps him as a deep-dyed viilian whose only aim in life is to be corrupt in municipal poli- tics. But we don’t believe a word of it. Tom isn’ta_ bad fellow, and the trouble probably lies he is a little too foxy for the News man. in the tact that Tue Bemidji Pioneer issued a special twentieth century edition last week that is a hummer. It contained is finally lustrated and handsomely ccmpiled throughout. Halfttones of business blocks and priv- ate residences are conspicuous 10 its pages. Prominent business and pro- fessional men are given ample space with pen and picture, We find our former Grand Rapids agent for the Great Northern, R. McLennan among the galaxy of progressive men who are making Bemidji one of the prosperous towns of the north. He is conduct- jhg a big hardware business there. sixteen pages; THE GALL OF THE GUY Our pseudo-editor friend up at Deer River records a littfe whine in his little paper because the commis sioners ignored his allzged bid for the pginting’ during t»e ensuing vear. In his usuel concise and scholarly style he jumbles the foilowing together: The county printing created considerable of a squable ull because the Itasca News put ina bid this year. This is. the first time the News ever asked anything of Itasca county in the three years it has struggled along lagainst extraordinary misfortune—and j Strange tosay, three members of the p: nt boare would not consider the News entitled to anything and simply shut their eyes and clung to that old idea that Grand Rapids is the whole thing. The New$ bid 7% cents per toliofor the proceedings and it was awarded tothe Magnet and the Herald-Review in combination at 74 cents. The News bid 10 cents per description for the tax list and it was awarded to the Herald-Review at 9 cents. Wherein or at what juncture of the proceedings “the county printing cre- ated considerable of a squable,” the Herald-Review does not know. The truth 1s, Mr. Pseudo-editor, there never was any chance fora -‘squable” it—over the matter of county: printing. Your bid was not legally worth the paper it was written on, and if it had been a valid proposi tion then the question of the legality of your publication would have arisen and as a result you would have been relieved of any and _ all respon-ibility in the matter of official printing. The Itasca News is no more a legal news- paper, according to the provisions ot state law, than a. e the hand-buills for a fake show. This fact might easily be established and when - occasion re quires it will be. But note thé gall of the guy: “Strange to say, three mer:- bers of the present board would not consider the News entitled to any- thing, and simply shut their eyes and clung to that old idea,” etc. That’s too bad, poor fellow—from your view point,no doubt. The commissioners should have ignored the combined circulations of the Magnet and Herald Review and a_ lower bid as well, and contributed to your support from charitable motives. They should have violated their oaths of office and the statutes and given you the tax list to publish just because you are poor and foolish, But they didn’t do anything of the kind. Like the sensible busi- ness men and conscientious officials that they are, they did just what the people expected them ‘to do: They designated the Magnet and Herald- Review as the official papers of Itasca county St. Louis county tied the experi. | | ment of giving its official printing to a little outside publication last year, but it will not soon occur again. The work was unsatisfactory and the ob- ject for which such publications are made was not accomplished. ‘This lyear several of the range papers had in bids for the work, but the board jignered them and designated the Daily Herald and News Tribune as the official papers. The object of the | law 1s to disseminate the official news among the tax-payers that they may be posted at all timés on what disposi- tion is being made of public moneys ‘and what the officersare dcing. ‘This cannot be accomplished by a paper with no standing or circulation. UNITED STATES SAVAGERY, The Saginaw (Mich.) Siftings is a fearlessly outspoken paper—one that types its mind in mnging words that “startles the timid and makes them tremble and pale.” It doesn’t care a continental whether it tackles the ad- ministration or a common foot-pad. All it wants to be convinced of 1s that either 1s in the wrong—Siftings will do jthe rest. How could it be otherwise with Will Hubbard Kernan at the helm? Read what he says concern- ing the ; resent national administration: ‘Under the present administration the United States have stultified them- selves befor the world, and has be- come as brutal as England by seeking to enslave a liberty-loving people. Until the commg of McKinley, the United States were never known to wage a war of conauest, On the con- trary they lent substantial sympathy to every people who rebelled agaist oppression. The Irish, the Greeks, the Hungsrians, the Cubans and oth- ers who revolted against unjust gov- ernment and struggled to break their gyves, were certain of the moral and money support of the American public. But McKinley, at the bidding of -his master, Mephistophelian Mark, has changed all this—has plunged our country into as savage and satanic a war as ever sprinkled our planet with the blood of man. The Philipinos are fighting for precisely the same principles for which our fathers fought in revolutionary days, and what Washington is to us, Aguinaldo 1s to his fellow patriots in the present crisis of his country. Our troops are slaughtering the Philipmos, are burning their homes, are making widows and orphans by the wholesale, and all for what? Siftings will tell you for what: “1. To expand our territory—just as though we hadn’t more territory in our own legitimate borders than we can properly control. “i. To extend out just as though our commerce isn’t large enough already to supply every conceivable want and wish_of our population. “1. To increase our pomposity by making ourselves a world power, there- by involving ourselves in the sanguino- leat squabbles of transatlantic nations, perpetually imperiling our peaceful re- lations with. hitherto friendly govern- ments, making a vast standing army and a gigantic fleet of battleships im- perative, increasing taxation-from year to year, and paving the way for Im- perialism, with its scepter, crown and throne.” PROCEEDINGS OF THE—— commerce— Board of Supervisors OF THE | Township of Grand Rapids’ Meeting Held January 7th, 1901.

Besides the abuse of drugs in rheu- matism and its sad results, another serious abuse of the same kind was discussed at the session of the Interna- tional Medical Congress at Paris, says the New York Post. This is the pres- ent fashion of taking laxative medi- cine in large quantities and in almost infinite variety. Several distinguished specialists from Germany attributed to this habit, which is common in nearly the whole world, the orgin of several intestinal affections practically unknown before .our generation and which are spreading. One of theze, a muco-membranous affection of the intestines, is a most puzzlying patho- logical condition. A number of phy- sicians attributed the present preval- ence of constipation, which is prim- arily responsible for the new fashions in laxatives, to an insufficiency of fat in the modern dietary. The frying pan has gone out of fashion, to the benefit of digestion, but ways and means of supplying the fats that used to be consumed with the fried mater- ial have not been forthcoming. The present generation is distinctly an eater of sweets, not of fats, but while the former supply the heat that would be obtained from the fats, they do not supply certain lubricant qualities which are so important for the proper performance of the intestinal func- tions. The use of the milk fats, that is, butter and cream as well as milk itself was recommended, as this form of fat is somewhat delectable. The use of the vegetable oils, olive oil and: FH the like, in larger quantities than at present was also recommended. It was ! pointed out that the southern nations have learned to take their quantum of fats in this way despite their warm- er climate, which makes fat generally less acceptable as food. It was re- ported from several sources that in many painful conditions of the stom- ach olive oil gave great relief. Died for Her Puppies. A large barn in the rear of Miss Mary Wicken’s dwelling at 817 East Washington street, was discovered in a mass of flames, says the Indianapolis News, and when the department ar- rived the structure was in ruins. A water spaniel dog which was in the yard at the time of the fire ran fran- tically about and finally into the burn- ing barn after several pups. She made a gallant effort to rescue the puppies, but was suffocated before she could % drive them out. COUNTY AND ILLAGE UFFICERS ——_—————_} couNTY. . Storch ;+++Mrs. O. H. Stilson COMMISSIONERS.
