Everybody can do some good. petibeas (45 ‘THERE may be some more tember scandals brought to light by the state timber board, aceording to reports frem behind closed doors in St. Paul. Evidence has been developed that im- plicates prominent loggers and some ex-officials. Bob Dunn’s name is men- tioned and the firm of Bonness & Howe figure in the deal. News from Tokio assures us that the Japs have auieted down and may not kill any more Chnstians for a When the recent outbreaks occurred in Japan the populace had not read the Roosevelt treaty. Now that they are acquamted with the con- tents of the document they are inchned to tolerate the presence of a few of Mr. Roosevelt’s subjects in ther midst. while. A key LINEin the Dulnth News Tribune tells an mterested audience that Eveleth is again without water. ‘Yhis distressing condition 3s probably due to the hot air emitted thereabouts by one Faddy Dowling ‘through — his Star. Hot air in unusually large quan- tities has a tendency to cause evapor— ation. Why would it not be wise to make Paddy dry up and give the water a chance? —— ee THouGH they do battle most bitter- Jy and charge each other with all the political crimes ever recorded, the two Wadena papers are a credit to the community from which they issue. The Pioneer Journal and ‘Tribune cer- tainly print the news and print it pro- per. In addition to winch they keep things going the year ’round when ot comes to politics. ‘There are no off years in that county. — ee Iv Now turns out that there is no immediate danger of northern Minne- sota going dry as a result of once hav- inn been “Indian country.” ‘The 3emidji Pioneer seems to think that original alarm was sounded for the purpose of graft. In any event the excitement appears to have subsided during the past few days, and any- body with the price or a friend may drink, Indian or no Indian. pba eaeh = SEC Czar Nick, emperor of all the Rus- sias, has invoked another peace con- ference of the nations to be held at ‘The Hague. Roosevelt intended to take the initiative in ths move, but after communicating with Nicholas he decided it would be a wise and cour- teous act to allow the. Russian emper- or to make the official suggestiun, Bryan, Roosevelt and Nicholas are of one mind on the peace program. —+00— A. L. Coxe, our legislative repre- sensative, has been mentioned as a prospective congressional candidate in the Sixth district, C. B Beckman is the present incumbent and Mr. Cole woud oppose him for the Republican nomination. Word was sent out from Cass Lake that Mr. Cole would not be a candidate, and in reply the Ait- kin Age says it is authorized to say that Mr. Cole has not declined to go to congress. All nght. — ae AND now the mayor of Chisholm has been indicted by the grand jury of St. Louis county on a charge of hav- mg committed intoxication on August 21. ‘The Herald-Review has not been lawfully advised as to whether it is considered a greater crime to commit the oftense named on August 21 than on any other day recorded in the cal- endar, In any event the accused put up one hundred dollars to insure his dppearance at the pleusure of the court. He denies the allegation and says he will prove his innocense. Times are getting pretty pokey when the mayor of a live mining municipals ity is to be deprived of the privilege of accumulating a jag on August 21. The mayor shoul admit his guilt and assert his prerogatives as an American citi- the zen and as the head push of Chis- | Mullin’s district.

Notwith- standing the royal revolt Norway 1s hkely to do as she pleases in the pre- mises. oe Axton B, PARKER adds _ his test mony to the msurance investigation now being carried on in New York. It will be remembered that Mr. Par- ker was the Democratic candidate for the presidency of these combined states last fall. He thinks his over- whelming defeat was largely due to.the corrupt use of money contributed by corporations that need’ protection by jaw and official sympathy in their monumental peculations. Gia BCP THE most important drainage sur- vey to be undertaken in the stete 1s that which is now under way in charge of Engineer Abercrombie wm northern Beltrann and Itasca counties. Here are thousands of acres of swamp lands waiting to be made fruitful. The survey will show us just what it wili cost to turn this vast swamp into a farming country. We venture that Engineer Abercrombie’s report will be one of the most powerful arguments which will be presented before the next legislature in favor of the adop- tion -of a comprehensive drainage policy by the state-—Bemidjt Pioneer. PAE eet ed Iris such earnest enthusiasm as that exhibited by H. G. Hays, secré- tary of the State Drainage league, that accomplishes things. Mr Hays has given the subject consideration and he realizes that drainage means as much, and even more, to the southern half of Minnesota than it does to the northern half. One reason for this conclusion is the matter of school funds. The thickly settled counties to the south would-get the lion’s share of several millions of dollars that would be added to the state school fund as a result of the reclaimation of the thousauds ct acres of rich agricultural lands. ‘The Herald-Review 1s half inclined to bring out the Bemidji editor as a can- didate for the state legislature. Bape “CONGRESSMAN BEDE ought to know better. ‘That “Tammany” bunch in Duluth will side-track him whenever opportunity offers. He won his way to congress in spite of all they could do and he'll have to do. the same thing over again if he wins a re-election. It was the country newspaper fellows who stuck to him from start to finish and brought him under the wire a winner. In return for such loyalty they haye asked but little. They haye not annoyed him with importunities for office. It 1s said on good authon- ty that Mr. Bede voluntarily tendered the receivership of the Duluth land office to Editor Hamilton of the Ait- kin Republican, and that arrangement appears to be eminently satisfactory to the Republican country editors of this district. If J. Adam made this prom- ise he should stand by it and recom- mend the Attkin editor forthwith. He should know better than to monkey with those disgruntled fellows at Du- luth, Alleged harmony gained by the sacrifice of the Republican editors outside of Duluth would be rather ex- pensive, is the guess of the Herald- Review. THE Itasca News comments on the county fair and reluctantly admits that the business men of Grand Rapids are entitled to credit for having maintained the fair organization at their personal expense for a number of years. But in order to sacrifice his principles suf- ficiently to admit this fact it was neces- sary for the editor to first reiterate a falsehood. While admitting that Grand Rapids’ energetic business men have done a very public-spirited act in their support of the county fair, the News insists that Grand Rapids *thogs” the whole thing in the matter of county roads funds. As usual the News doesn’t know what it is talking about. It does not know that in divid- ing up the public road funds for this year ten thousand dollars was put into Commissioner Lang’s district, ten thousand dollars into Commissioner Tone’s district, ten thousand dollars mto Comnussioner O’Brien’s district, one thousand dollars into Commis- sioner Passand’s district, and two thousand dollars into Commissioner is. one te tebr ge.

Weighty Reason for Desiring Chance of Dressing Rooms. “Speaking of the ways”of stage foll with dressing rooms, reminds me cf something that happened to me just a fortnight befere our seasou closed,” seid a theatrical man who !s home for the summer. “in the company I manage there’s a middle-aged women | who has a small part. Her husband is in the company, too, and when you have a married couple in the same company it’s a sure sign of trouble. Well, the lady didn’t like dressing in the dressing rcoms her position in the company called for, but there wasn’t much she could do till we struck al- most the last stand on our route. Then her husband asked me if I wouldn’t come up to their room in the hotel, because she wanted to speak to me. I went. She told me she was if] and un- able to climb stands, and as a special favor couldn’t I arrange it so she’d have a downstairs dressing room? Of course I could, and I said so. Nobody who was ill should ever lack for con- sideration in my company. Then fF went to my own room. It hapnener to. be the one adjoining theirs, but they didn’t know it, and I dida’t either, till I lay down to take a nap, and found I could hear every word they said. _And whet do you think I heard? “‘There,’ said that woman, ‘I'va fixed that. Of course-I’m not ill, Charles, I never as better in my se life, but I must maintain my dignity. —Washington Post. FIND PROFIT IN DISASTERS. Insurance People Make Meney frora | the Woes of Others, A terrible shipping disaster, or a fire which involves great loss of life, only conjures up a picture of horror to the | average person, and ft is almost im- possible to realizo that anyone could derive saticfaction from them. Yet such casualties are not unwelcomed by those who are interested in the insur- ance business. The destruction of life and property “stiffens the market,” to use a market report phase. Leong im- munity from big accidents make peo- ple careless as to insurance, whereas a big catastrophe will more often than ‘not bring about’ a revival in personal and,property protection. Underwriters are occasionally heavily taxed by the large sums which have to be paid away as the result of a wreck, col- lision or fire; but so long as the news- paper reports of the catastrophe stif- fen the market they do not complain. Ancient Card Games. Henry VIII. forbade playing cards except at Christmas, but the prohibi- tion extended only to persons of hum- ble rank. The games played in thos? days and during the succeeding cen- tury had names as barbarous as were the people. We read of picquet, gleek, lauterloo, bankafalet, primero, | cribbage, verquera, tick-tack, grand trick-track, inn and inn, neddy, five card basset, and brag. The last mi- grated to America, where it became the poker of the present day; noddy is our present crib. Basset was brought over frora France, and ombre, originally a Spanish game, was the predecessor of whist, and was played at odd three-cornered tables. A Difficult Task.
