FO SENATOR.
I With Evans, Clapp, Tavrney and
Bixby in the field for the vacancy
paused by the death of Cushman K.
:Davis, the State of Minnesota will not
'suffer for a suitable representative in
the United States senate. All of them
ar good men, fit and capable forHfce
office, and Evans and Clapp wouli*
either of them race the place with
suitable dignity and talent. But
'neither of them would wear out his
bones trying to get things for his
State. Tawney has some of the kind
capacity needed by Minnesota, and
has an earnest way of "going after"
anythmg he takes in hand in a way
that insures succss. He may not have
\as much eloquence or learning as Gen.
t!lapp but he does push and drive his
measures to a conclusion. Just what
(measures Tom Lowry could or would
father, no one can tell. But he is not
in the race.
Tarns Bixby is by all odds the most
!promising of all the candidates. He
iha* swarms of friends in every county
iitt the state, and while in the minds of
'the people he has suffered himself to
ibe belittled by not taking thought
unto himself and growing either a 17-
lineh collar measure or a 200-pound
ltip
1
on the scales, he has nevertheless
shown such a marvelous talent and
'love for work,- work that counts and
wins,that be is generally recognized
by the politicians of the state as the
ablest of that class in the state. And
tit will surprise us a good deal if his
powers of organization fall short of
bringing him a seat in the next United
States senate at this time. As a sena-
1 tor he would stir up the lions, and
i help forward the general policy of the
I republican administration, and would
lake an active interest in the practical
Vonwrns of the State of Minnesota.
The PJOWKTOt btutfahft for the worker.
i ft-is coming. We doubt if the day
can be many years away when the
government must assume control of
the railroads. The constant report of
concentration of railroad interests and
th,* gmawing- appetite of such corpora
tions to absorb the sweets of life wilhJ
out a decent respect for the rights
of the people, is a drawing argument
for their subjugation. The latest re
port is that the various big lines are
reaching a mutual agreement whereby
with lessing competition they will be
enabled to discharge. ~A),0 jnen, now
employed as soliciting agents*, Of
eourse any railroad company has a
right to do their business in tne cheap
est way consistent with good service.
But the tendency is to get together on
the "grab and divide'* system, and to
hades with their employes and the pub
lic. By every such me) ve they are in
tensify ing public opinion against them,
and are hastening the day when the
nation will rise up and take a fall out
of the servant which is actually mas
ter. The trust question is as difficult
to solve as trying to get on the safe
side of a polecat. The railroad ques
tion is indeed a serious matter and
the people have long viewed It seri
ously. The advocates of government
ownership are multiplying rapidly,
and unless conditions change, many
of them will soon burst into congress.
The Grout oleomargarine bill ought
never to become a law. It practically
is a Boston tea party to the "oleo"
industry. The cremwries of the state
are not entitled to the scalp of any
rival. So long as oleomargarine is
not unhealthy and is cheaper than
real butter and better than much farm
butter, the people who desire that
salve to their bread are entitled to
have it. Oleomargarine as an imita
tion of butter, however, should be se
verely dealt with. Every ounce of it
should be so lalele that'no deception
can be practiced. This warfare against
"oleo'* is a narrow one so long as
nearly every other article of food is
allowed to be adulterated and sold
as pure stuff.
The Gospel services which hare been
held in the Baptist church for the last
two weeks will continue through this
week and also through the week begin
ing January 21st. Kev. F. Lovett,
of Park Rapids will preach in the
church every night next week. The
singing will be in charge of Mr. J.
Miller, the Evangelistic singer for
Rev. W. B. Riley, of the First Bap
tist church, of Minneapolis. Mr. Mil
ler will lie with us through this week
only. A cordial invitation is extended
to the public to attend these services
and meet these Christian workers from
abroad. The services will be at the
usual hour.
The world was not built in one day
and fame is not made in a second.
The title of "the best place to trade at
in Bemidji"' was given to W.
White & Co.'s Mammoth store after
a long service to the public in good
bargains and fair treatment given

REFUSED' A GOO THING.
The News rants agains (commis
sioner WrigntV'eeonomy'' in allowing
thePlONKKK legal rates for the county
printing. And questions his honesty,
because he failed to fall into the
clutches of the Martin syndicate. It
is not necessary to answer the News,
as the citizens who elected Wes Waight
were acquainted with his character as
well as they were with the man who
[opposed him. .Ii.was an open issue
between Wright and Martin then: it is
an issue still. If the News has a repu
tation for honesty and economy Mr.
Wright was certainly wrong in refus
ing the tempting offers made him to
climb into the News band .wagon. To
do so he was offered *300 in legal
tender money and an additional 20 per
cent of the cost price of the new jail
addition. And by the way the plans
and specifications for said jail build
ing were drawn up and let to the high
est bidder at $11,000 and only waited
the securing of one commissioner
"an honest and economical one" in
the eyes of the schemers. But Mr.
Wright was not willing to sell himself
and the county. He reasoned that he
was not elected for that purpose.
Those who sought to corrupt Mr.
Wright, should take their defeat in
silence and not seek to ruin him with
lies because he rema'ned true to the
citizens who elected him.
Musical**.
The inusieale given at the City Hall
on Jan. 9th under the direction and
supervision of the Lady Foresters was
a complete success and will always re
main a creditable episode in Bemidji's
history. The untiring efforts used by
the ladies to introduce such a feature
of amusement for the music loving
people of Bemidji are certainly deserv
ing of the highest praise and coramen-'
dation. It was well attended and ap
preciated by all. Every turn was
detervingly applauded, andmany were
compelled by the vociferous applause
to appear again. These enjoyable
pastimes not only strengthens the
fraternal relations of the order but
shows the public harmony that exists
among its members and the charatable
disposition they have for helping the
needy. The Lady Foresters as I un
derstand had arranged that part of
the proceeds should be donated toward
purchasing supplies for the several
poor families of our city of which
there are many.
Just before tha rise of-the curtain,
Attorney L* H. Bailey, master of cere
monies, stepped to the footlights and
with dome very nattering remarks on
growth and prominent standing of the
order was encouraging. He dwelt par
ticularly upon the necessity of
the people of Bemidji getting up more
entertainments ojf its kind in_ the
.future as. a means -of bringing the peo
ple together in a -social way.
I, as one of an appreciative au
dience, would say that those who took
part in the entertainment to make it a
a success, are certainly the cream of
the amateur talent and should be taken
as professionals..
AN OBSERVER.
MISUSE O S. MAILS.
During the recent Pure Food
and Drink Investigation in the
Senate, Senator Wiu E Mason
made a speech on American cham
paigns. He was very compliment,
ary to certain brands, and they
have used the speech as an adver
tisement. Copies of it have been
sent ail over the country, postage
free, because they were stamped
with the name of the senator in
the corner. This is an unprece
dented use of the Senator's name
to secure free postage for advertis
ing private matter, and, if not
stopped, it would soon flood the
mails with unpaid packages.
"Golden Grain Belt" beer needs
no senator's speeches, no illegiti
mate advertising to prove its pu
rity is a food product' A trial is
all that is necessary. It will help
you because it has the strength of
pure barley malt and hops. Tr

Netve Influence
Is the subtle force which controls the different organs of the
body. I makes them strong or weak, healthy or diseased,
according as the brain and nerves arc strong and vigorous or
weak and diseased. Weak nerves cause headache, nervousness,
neuralgia, indigestion, heart trouble and many other forms of
chronic weakness. Make the nerves strong, the brain clear and
active and the body will be healthy and vigorous.
"Overstrained nerves caused my wife to suffer severely
with a nervous affection of the heart called by physicians
neuralgia of the heart. Powerful remedies relieved the pain
temporarily, but all physicians failed to remove the cause or
give permanent relief. A few bottles of Dr. Miles' Nervine
together with Dr. Miles' New Heart Cure removed all signs
of neuralgia and she has ever since enjoyed excellent health."

Persons who suffer from indigestion
cannot expect to live long, because
they cannot eat the. food required to
nourish the body and the products of
the undigested foods they do eat
poison the blood. It is important to
cure indigestion as soon as possible,
and the best method of doing this }s to
use the preparation known as Kddpl
Dyspepsia cure. It digests what you
eat and restores all the digestive or
gans td perfect health. At Mayo's
Drug store.
This season there is a large death
rate among children from croup and
lung troubles. Prompt action will
save the little ones from these terri
ble diseases. We know of nothing so
certain to give instant relief as One
Minute Cough cure. It can also be re
lied upon in cases of grippe and..all
throat and lung troubles of adults.
Pleasant to take. At Mayo's Drug
store.
When threatened by pneumonia or
any other lung trouble, prompt relief
is necessary, as it is dangerous to de
lay. We would suggest that One Min
ute Cough cure be taken as soon as in
dications of having taken cold are
noticed. It cures quickly and its e*arly
use prevents consumption At Mayo's
drug store.
When in need of roofing for a flat
roof, I have it. The best reasonable

Pepsin preparations often fail to re
lieve indigestion because they can di
gest only albuminous foods, and that
is Kodol Dyspepsiacure. It cures the
worst cases of indigestion and gives
instant relief, for it digests what you
eat. At Mayo's Drug store.
