Judge Holland came to Bemidji last
week with the halo Of ssnon-partisan
candidate for iudgshipn floating in
splendor above his head. He went
away carrying in his hands a flaming
political banner upon which was In
scribed the words s Endorsed by the
Beltrami County Populist Conven-
tion.'' What does this mean? Let
us tell yon, gentle reader. Judge
Holland is something of q politician,
himself. He wished to make this cam
paign with "non-partisanshipn as the
paramount issue. To this the sup
.porters Of Mr.. Nice lenahan were will
ling to comply, and turned the search
light OF investig ation upon Holland IS
judicial record. The result was prov
ing very disastrous to the judges
chances. A new issue was needed in
EBeltrami county even the staunch re-
publican News was waving distress
signal and so, Judge Holland slides
under the protecting arms of Beltrami
democracy and throws the physic of
..,'non-partisan judiciary to the dogs.
Read our contemporary for proof that
q new issue has been ''paramounted.

John Lind has lost strength since
i98. The cloud of romance has lifted
and the voters now see him In his
true position. Then he was q god,
now a politician; then he was a politi-
cal orphan, now democrat then a
self-forgetting patriot, now place
seeking demagogue; then q veteran,
now a sgin-de-army' ranter. His
nationality alone remains unchanged,
but the voters Of his nationality have
changed, and will vote this time from
reason and not from sentiment. Lind
has made decent governor, but his
administration has not in the least
been an Improvement on republican
administrations.

PAGE NORRIS CAMPAIGN.

Judge Page Morris has opened his
third campaign for congress. He is
nightly before audiences composed Of
his constituents in the western part of
the Sixth district, giving an account
Of his stewardship for the last two
years.
This is no difficult task. The Judge
has lived up to the letter and the spir-
it of the platform upon which he was
elected. He has never wayered from
the support of the principles of the
Republican party and during the try
ing hours of the last session of con-
gress President Mckinley never had
to inquire 'sHow will Morris OF the
Sixth Minnesota district stand on
this question:" Morris, of the Sixth
Minnesota belonged to the old guard
of Republicanism in congress. In

addition be- was faithful
representative and Al tireless
worker. The interests of his
constituents were never absent from
his mind in his waking hours. None
applied to him for assistance in vain
and the work he accomplished in the
departments for constituents was i'm
mense.
In the debate OF public questions Ia
the house OF representatives Judge
Morris was listened to with interest
and respect. The choice OF a man to
close the discussion on the finance
bill fell on him and was no common
honor. His speech on the constitn-
tional aspect OF expansion received
high encomiums from the leaders Of
the Republican party in the house and
is recognized as an authority on that
subject. a
Judge Morris can 60 before his com
sti.uents with clear record and q
calm conscience. He can give an ex-
#eellent report both Of his party and
himself. He will be elected by much
larger majority than at the election
of 1898. Duluth News Tribune. IN,

CREDIT TO OUR ATTORNEY.

About thirty years ago, when gov
eminent lands we're subject TO sale to
all who had the money to purchase,
men OF means and foresight obtained
thousands OF acres Of the best pine
lands in the state and hold them at
the present date. While Beltrami
county remained nnorganized these
lands were not subject to general tax
alton, and the pine barons persistently
fought against the organization Of
any county wherein they held lands.
After the organization of Beltrami
county the barons at once began. the
harvest of their timber for market,
and had they been allowed to strip
their lands of all the natural, market
able products they would have aban-
doned the stumpy sand dunes and bot
tomless swamps, which would ulti-
mately have been sold for delinquent
taxes, without possibility Of redemp-5
ton, thereby delaying necessary inn
provements of public nature--throw-
ing the burden of taxation upon the
poor settlers and retarding the de-
velopment of the country. Had Mr..
Walker manufactured his timber
into lumber within the confines of the
county rather than have transported
it by rail to another, causing the
manufactured article to become per-
sonal property and subject to taxation
there, in all probability County AT
torney Street would not have so per-
sistently camped upon his trail, eaus-
ing him to pay his just taxes before
he stripped his lands of their real
valuation. Therefore, w. f.. Street
should be entitled to the thanks of ev-
cry taxpayer in the county, and if he
does not receive votes sufficient to
keep him in his present position he
will not receive his merited reward. -

we repeat that the editor OF this paper

his Winchester or trapped.

if he had slaughtered many bear.

ened his brawny, robust figure up to its
full height. Il am on my native heath,

plain my way of capture, and you must
keep it profound secret My favorite
method of hunting the bear is to sus-
pend large stone or other heavy object
from tree with long rope. The sus-
pended body is then smeared with
honey. The bear comes along in the
woods, and attracted by the honey, en-
deavors to remove it. In doing so he
sets the weight swinging; it flies back
and hits the bear, the bear strikes the
weight tremendous whack and the
weight returning kills the animal, and

reference to second homestead entries,

"Section provides that any person
who has therefore made homestead
