Denial Of a Black Lie.

wish through the columns OF the
PIONEER to deny one Of the BLACKLIST
lies that were ever put in print by any
newspaper. It. Come out in the Bel
trami County News Of June %, 1900.
Whether written by the editor or by
whom, it was one of the blacklist lies
from start to finish. Does any sound
minded person, whether minister or
soloonkeeper, or whatever occupation
he may follow, think for a moment |
would disgrace myself and family BY
having revenge upon any person?
AS for Miller keeping company with
one of my elder daughters, know
nothing about. And as both OF my
older daughters We're getting ready to
60 away to training school, according
to the rules of said school they could
not keep company with any gentleman.
So it is utterly false. Besides the
great injustice done my family, the
article does injustice to our worthy
justice, Mr.. Gilmour. Trying to make
the people believe that he held Miller
on the chi1d's evidence alone, when
the evidence of the leading physicians
was .aken, and one other child with
whom he had taken liberties. Nobody
but an attorney intereste in influence
ing public opinion in the case would
have written such an article.

The national convention Of the Re
publican League Clubs at ST. Paul,
July lilo. will prove the grandest po-
litical rally ever held in the northwest.
Governor Roosevelt, the hero of the
Spanish war, had previously been en-
gagged to speak in the Auditorium on
the night of the 18th, and now that he
has been made the party's candidate
for vice president, the outpouring to
hear him will severely tax st Paul's
facilities for entertaining the vast
crowds; One fare for round trips
will hold on all railroads, and every
state in the union will send delegations
to st. Paul, while Minnesota, the Da.
kotas. Wisconsin, Michigan and Iowa
will send thousands of enthusiastic re
publicans. All delegates and alter
mates will have reserved seats to hear
Roosevelt. Scores of leading repub-
lican orators and statesmen will be in
st. Paul during convention week.

The partisan newspaper which keeps
alive the party spirit between cam
paigns is never appreciated by the
politicians benefited. The newspaper
is supposed to be always loyal to its
party and ever active in pushing the
best side of the party to the front. BY
it's work, the party is strengthened
and sustained from one campaign to
another. AS election time approach
les, some man hobs up for Office; says
he is a democrat or republican and
looks for the party to support him and
wants the paper to give him free col
umns of complimentary stuff just be-
cause he belongs to that party. He
would feel hurt to give the editor any
thing, for don't they both belong to
the same party?" The newspapers OF
Beltrami county have made the re-
publican party strong here and the
Office holders have been the ones di.
rectly benefited. We hope the poll
ticians will remember the newspaper
boys Of the cbunty, and appreciate
those boys who have lived on blueber-
ries and pine bark while fighting for
the party. They deserve quail on
toast this campaign.

Cigarette smoking Il bad habit.
The boy who is addicted to it be.
comes glum. Medical authorities
trace serious diseases to the habitnal
use Of cigarettes, especially by i'm
mature boys. Yet, we cannot walk
two blocks in our fair town without
meeting a little boy, and perhaps sew
eral, with a cigarette between their
lips and smoke streaming from their
nostrils. They don't smoke in the or
binary way, but inhale it into their
lungs, and as we have said, blow it
out through their nostrils. AS a US

Death Of C. W. Gray.

Regarding the death Of Cyril w.
Gray which occurred at the hospital
July 5, Fort Dodge, Iowa, Messenger
says in part: .sHis death has about
it much pathos. He was a young man
full OF the ambition of life. The OPP
ening vista of the future shone bright
with the promise of hope. When he
was about to realize his fondest am
billions, the grim hand of sickness and
death was laid upon him never to be
removed. He bore it bravely,. sub
hitting to the inevitable with cour-
age that was remarkable. He joined
his parents, Mr.. and Mrs. S.W. Gray,
at Grand Forks, and from there went
to Bemidji, in hopes OF securing. bene-
fit. Here among the beautiful sur
rounding the lake he sought in vain
for health. Gradually becoming weak
er he was taken to the Catholic hos
pital where he died. His parents, and
Miss Ollie Van Osdoll were with him
at the time. The funeral was held on
Thursday, the body being inferred be-
meath the pines OF Lake Bemidji, He
was young man OF fine traits OF
character and one of much promise.
one whom to know was to admire and
love. Bronchial troubles was the
cause of his death. y

Bemidji may not be a shining light
to the seekers OF spotless purity.
And at times she is really frisky when
she goeth forth to have a good time.
But her vices are more in the mag
nation of envious neighbors than in
fact. Her people are orderly and
law. abiding to a satisfactory degree.
This was shown by her conduct on the
Fourth of July-a day when every
town seems free to exhibit all its
rough edges. On that day last week
not single arrest was made in Be
midi, and the police relaxed none OF
its usual vigilance. There now, Mr..
Cass Lake Voice, will you still scoff
at the PIONEER when it claims that
the reform spirit is growing here?
The Bemidji pioneer., 1900-07-12

A good word spoken for a worthy
object is often better than aims to the
poor or meat to the hungry. Miss
Anderson who recently accompanied
the Woman's Federation excursion
up here and afterwards wrote fine
words for Bemidji in the Minneapolis
Journal, recently told the PIONEER
editor that she received two or three
letters per day from ladies, mostly in
valids, asking her opinion as to the
best place to spend the summer. And
of course she recommends Bemidji.
Several of those ladies are now en-
camped within our healthful sphere.

nominated Bryan for president and
Towne, 'sfree silver republican, 4
for vice-president. They expected the
democrats to consider this fair di-
vision, but they ought to have known
better. Now it appears that the pops
will not even have the consolation Of
voting for their own nominee for vice
president. Mr.. Towne is preparing to
let 60 of his nomination. It is bad
mess, and we should hope that the
populists will not ignore the insult
given them BY the democrats in ignor.
ing their candidate.
The Bemidji pioneer., 1900-07-12
BRYAN AND FREE SILVER.

The democratic convention surpris-
ed even itself by its choice for vice
president. Bryan has absorbed the
democratic party and there was no
oueelse to nominate for president, but
out of the grist Of candidates for vice
president better choiceeould certainly
be made even from the democratic
fold. Stevenson has been regarded
as dead duck,--a big cipher with the
edges worn off. To the radical demo-
Gratis he Is an icicle and to the con-
sentative he is regarded as a worm
out court plaster with vote drawing
power exhausted. The only argument
for his selection is that he was q win
ner with Cleveland in '92 and that he
carried Wisconsin and Illinois in that
campaign. But the past when com
pared to the present turns sacred
things to ridicule.
But the vice-presidency cuts no fig
ure after all. The whole ticket is
Bryan and the men who bolted the
ticket in '96 have no inducement to
return. Organism means the same
to-day as then, only anti-expansion
being added, With free silver, the
mummy and Stevenson the dummy,
Bryan is in good shape to lead
another funeral procession in tri-
umph to the grave. The democrats
never put up a more characteristic
platform. Nearly every plank was
simply veto of what the republicans
have done and an alarmed viewn Of
what they may do. Imperialism has
usurped the position of free silver,
and the trusts are credited with being
more dangerous now than govern
ment by injunction" was in '96. But
the spirit of Bryan runs through it
all.
Bryan is not in as good position
to secure the votes of populists and
other reform workers as he was in his
last campaign. The democrats have
shown, by the turning down of Towne,
that their only terms to the fusionists
are s''offices for the democrats, kicks
for their allies. Four years ago the
popuists supported Bryan and their
own Watson, the democrats votingfor
Bryan and Sewell. This year the be-
wildered pops hoped to forestal the
dems by early nominating combi-
