KNTERED AS SECOND CLASS MAT-
TER AT THE POSTO.FFiCB AT BE-
MIDJI, MINX.. rXDER THE ACT OF
MARCH 3. IS71).
In a recent issue of "Thought."
the organ of the Socialist party of
this vicinity appear a statement of
what that party will accomplish.
Following is the direct statement:
"What Socialism will do: It will de
stroy prostitution, graft, lawlessness,
robbery, drunkenness, poverty, trusts,
strife, murder, squalor, and misery.
It will purify the council chamber,
the legislative chamber, the courts,
the schools and possible the church-
es."
With the exception of "trusts,
poverty and misery," every statement
made above may be made to apply to
Bemidji conditions.
This is a big load for any one or
ganization to carry and if the So
cialists of Bemidji can carry out the
above promises during the coming
year, or even approximate them to a
satisfactory degree, it need not sur
prise politicians of other parties if
the people return the Socialists to
power another year with an increased
plurality. It is true that they have
not a majority in the council but the
mayor has the power necessary to
deal with most of the above cases.
"Every time I come to town
The boys keep a-kickin' by dawg
aroun'
Makes no difference ft'-he is a houn'
They gotta quit. kickin' my dawg

Missouri Song.
Three Assertions.
"The wise custom which limits
the president to two terms regards
the substance and not the form, and
under no circumstances will I be
a candidate for or accept another
nomination. "President Rossevelt,
I have not changed and shall not
change that decision thus announ
ced.President Roosevelt, Dec. 11,and
1907.
"My hat is in the ring."Theo-
dore Roosevelt, Feb. 21, 1912.St.
Cloud Times.
Testing Coins.
"There goes another man suffering
from degeneration of public manners,"
said the clerk in an aggrieved tone. "I
gave him five pieces of silver in mak
ing change, and he tested every one
of them to see if it was counterfeit
right before my eyes. It is only late
ly that people who buy have got rude
enough to do that. Clerks always did
It with coin that customers gave them,,
but that was a prerogative of the
trade. For the customer to assume tie
same privilege is a usurpation of an
cient rights. The worst of it is most
people nowadays are pretty good
judges of bad money, and every little
while a coin is refused because it is
counterfeit. The only way tradesmen
can teach customers the respect due
them is to turn their own backs when
testing money. That has always been
the custom in England. No tradesman
over there would dare fillip a coin un
der a customer's nose, and as a con
sequence no customed has ever taken
that liberty with him."
Bruce and the Spider.
Apparently the little fireside story
about Bruce and the spider is in the
category of fables. So eminent an au
thority as Sir Herbert MaxweM says In
"Robert the Bruce:"
"What is the evidence to be found
in support of it? Not in the writings
of Barbour, Fordun or Wyntoun, those
most nearly contemporary with Bruce
and least likely to suppress a circum
stance so picturesque and illustrating
so aptly the perseverance and pa
tience of the national hero under des
perate difficulties.
"No nothing is heard of this adven
ture till long after Bruce and his
comrades had passed away, and then
It makes its appearance in company
with such trash as the miraculous ap
pearance of (he arm bone of St. Fil
ian on the eve of Bannockburn, and
worthy of just about as much consid
eration."
So goes another of the venerated
legends of childhood.
School of Love in Germany.
In order to counteract the falling off
of marriage rate a "school of love" has
been started at Strasburg, Germany.
The school will also give advice on ob
scure questions, such as how to en
courage budding attentions, how to dis
courage them, how to converse with
kerious men without any serious knowl
edge, and how to be gay and frivolous
while suffering from headache, bank
ruptcy, and other ills.

CUTTING DOWN THE FLESH
Heroic Struggles of a Fat Man Who
Thought the Scales Were
Deceiving Him. \_r^i
1 have about come to the conclusion
that the good Lord Intended some of
his creatures to be fat and some thin,
regardless of medicines and so-called
Infallible cures, writes a western
man. For a long while I tried all the
alleged obesity cures and none of
them did me any good. Then I'deter
mined to starve myself and take lot
of exercise..
All my life I had been a lover of
good eating, and counted that day
lost on which I did not consume for
my dinner the better part of a sirloin
steak as thick as a darky's foot, with
all the trimmings. For breakfast I
usually destroyed a platter of cakes,
three eggs' and no end of thin-sliced
bacon, besides fruits and two cups of
coffee.
This lifelong system I abandoned
for an entire month, cutting out all
the meat and about all the vegetables,
a piece of toast and glass of milk tak
ing the place of my morning meals
and a little rice being the chief item
on the meager dinner bill of fare.
Lunch I omitted wholly. In addition
I walked at least six miles every day
and did all sorts of stunts in my room
with a gymnasium outfit. Prior to
going to bed I perpetrated all sorts
of muscular contortions and rolled
on the floor till my body was bruised.
At the end of thirty days I tfejt fit
to run a three-mile foot-race or go In
the ring with the champion. About
this time it occurred to me that I
ought to get weighed and I made a
bee line for the scales. My grocer as
sured me that they were correct to
an ounce, but they showed I had
gained 14 pounds in the period of my
abstinence.Exchange.
An. Inference.
There died in Chicago the other day
man of whom it is said that he knew
the intimate history of every import
ant family in the city. Some members
of some of the important families must
be mighty glad that he died.Savan

YOUR GRAY HAIRS
QUICKLY VANISH
A Harmless Remedy, Made from Gar
den Sage. Restores Color to Gray
Hair
A feeling of sadness accompanies
the discovery of the first gray hairs
which unfortunately aro looked upon
as neralds of advancing age. Grey
hair, however handsome it maybe,
makes a person look old. We all
know the advantages cf being young.
Aside from the good impression a
youthful appearance makes on others
simply knowing that you are "look
ing fit" gives one courage to under
take and accomplish things. So why
suffer the handicap of looking old on
account of gray hairs, when a simple
remedy will give your hair youthful
color and beauty in a few days'
time?
Most people know that common
garden sage acts as color restorer
and scalp tonic as well. Our grand
mothers used a "Sage Tea" for keep
ing their hair dark, soll't and luxur
iant. In Wyeth's Sa^e and Sulphur
Hair Remedy we have an ideal"pre
paration of Sage, combined with Sul
phur and other valuable remedies for
dandruff, itching scalo and thin,
weak hair that is split at the ends or
constantly coming out A few appli
cations of this valuable remedy will
bring back the color, and in a short
time it will remove e^ ery trace of
dandruff and greatly improve the
growth and appearance of the hair.
Get a fifty cent bottle from your
druggist today, and notice that differ
ence in your hair afh a few days'
treatment. All druggists sell it, un
der guarantee that the money will be
refunded if the remedy is not exactly
as represented.
