kcop up his crusade in

favors tho plan suggested by Tho Kicker
some timo ago - that of taking two

begin this work your praises will be sung
by an indulgont public, who rail-fonce it
from ono side Of the sidewalk to tho

that heavy or protractcd rain produces
on our present streets.
What about the public library

Kicker to touch up this mat

cially that feature which pertains to fur

can be made as magniflcently successful
Walhalla abounds in cultured people who
arc fond of reading, but they are not
able TO purchase all tho latest works as
they arc published, and ofton have to
deny themselves on that account. BY all

The Bemidji pioneer., 1901-06-27

AS this is an off year in politics,
it is quite amusing to read some
of the articles in the Minneapolis
Tribune and Journal. While we
cannot account for the ludicrous
CITATIONS of those papers, yet
they certainly must have some
reason to kick against high tariff,
while a year ago they would have
gone into the air to an exalted
degree if anybody dared to re
mark that they were notin favor
of an extremely high protective
tariff. Free trade seems to be
the proper thing for them to adj
vocate at the present time, and If
they go much further they will
light in the center Of the demo
cratic ranks. Oh, well; it would
not make much difference to the
intelligent readers of Minnesota
they can get along without
their assistance.

Adelbert S. Hay, son Of Secre-
tary Hay, last Sunday night fell
from a window in a hotel at New
Haven, Conn.,, a distance Of 80
feet, killing him Instantly. 1t is
supposed that he was sitting on
the window sill for the purpose
of obtaining fresh air, when he
dozed off and fell to the ground.
He was in that city for the pur-
pose of attending the commence
ment exercises of Yale, from
which institution he graduated in
1898. He was only % years OF
age, and was consul to Pretoria,
South Africa, a little over a year
ago, and was one of the most
promising young men in the
country.

You should not stay down town at night

And with them food the street.

goods are found in the, United
States; but the best markets for
our manufacturers, outside OF
their own country, must for some
years be in less advanced coun-
tries, where we can compete
with Europe on an even basis.
To open our own markets to
Europe, just as our financiers
have placed our industrial instl-
buttons in shape to go abroad
with our surplus product, would
seem to me to be the height Of abb
surdity. We would be the gulls
and laughing stock of allChristen-
dom, and would richly deserve
the fate that would befall US.
For we can only go abroad with
our products of loom and mill, by
virtue Of the profits Of our own
markets. Suppose Europe to

cheap goods? They certainly
would. We are not yet upon a
two per cent basis for money,
while Europei is. And thatmeans
millions, not only in interest
charges, but in dividends. We
have no business to complain be-
cause our own people get better
prices at home than they do
abroad. It's of no consequence
to US, so long as they get gold
for the goods sold abroad. The
Minneapolis and all American
millers have foreign market for
-four only upon that basis, as
your paper has well said. But
it brings us the gold Of Europe to

Congressman Eddy is making
strenuous efforts with the Indian
department to have lao, 900 acres
Of land Of the Red Lake reserya-
ton thrown open for settlement.
These lands are really agricul-
turallands, there being no timber
of much value on them. Tt is
hoped that the scheme will prove
successful, as there is a great
demand for such land at the
present time. It is thought the
Indians are willing to dispose Of
them.

This is certainly a year of
calamities. The southwest is
suffering from repeated visits of

reaching into the hundreds, and
that of property into the millions

The PIONEER took occasion to
call the attention of Mr.. Street
to the above paragraph from the
st. Paul Globe of last Friday,
and asked him what his course
would probably be on the tariff
question in case he should secure
the nomination for congress in
this district next year. He
answered:
81 see no remote probability of
such an event happening; but il
ii should, 4 should not feel there
fore bound to alter on modify, or
even 'ameliorate,' my views on
the tariff question. / am an
American, and for everything
that will advance the interests of
the people of the United States.
Not even the trust bogy frightens
me, as it is in some respects the
highest evidence Of the ability of
American fnanciers to float en-
terprises at low rate Of interest.
The course Of your paper is en-
tirely satisfactory to me in this
matter. The Dingley law may
not be all that it should be, but
that is generally the case with
anything human. At least, that
is so in Bemidji. Without enter
ing into details, thatlaw expresses
generally the idea that our home
markets should be preserved for
our own home industries, in order
that they may not only become
something more than mere in
fants, but may grow into giants
fit to compete with all Europe.
AS between all the states and
territories, I am an absolute free
trader, though there may arise
emergencies which demand some
thing else for makeshlft pur-
poses.
II believe that the coastwise
navigation laws should be ex-
tended to the PHILIPPINES as they
have been to Porto Rico and
Hawaii. No American vessel
can trade between Toronto and
Port Arthur, or between Van
couver and Hong Kong. No
British vessel should be per
mitted to trade between San
Francisco and Manila. In other
words, [ believe in the extension
of American trade by every de-
vice known to the English or
European statesmen, or that has
been practised by them in the
past, and in the annexation of all
the territory that will come easily
and bring trade possibilities with
it. This is my idea of republican
ism today.
s'By virtue of our prodigious
development in manufacturing
in the past ten years, as indicated
in those vast corporations organ
lied in what are known as in
dustrials, we are all at once up
against the whole of Europe, with
their two or three hundred
millions of people, where capital
has concentred for hundreds of
years, and where colonization has
run rife for the past thirty years.

THIRTY YEARS.

The musical program at the morning and
evening services at Bethany church on Sun
day, taken entirely from the composition Of
w. A. Briggs, the orgsnist, in commemors-
tiCn OF the completion OF thirty years OF SER
vice, was all that could be desired
Mr.. Briggs was given happy surprise at
the close OF the morning service. Rev. j.
II. Breed OF Weymouth, Mass, who was
supplying the pulpit on this occasion, asked
the congregation to remain for few mo-
ments after the benediction. In a few
pleasant remarks Rev Mr.. Breed presented
to Mr.. Briggs beautiful silver gold lined
loving cup and $25 in gold ss tokens OF the
esteem in which Mr.. Briggs was held by the
church and congregation. The cup bore
this inscription:
Presented to William Adams Briggs,
by Bethany church and Society OF Montpe-
lier, Vermont. August twenty-ffth, nine
teen hundred and one, in commemoration
OF thirty years faithful service as organist.
AT the close OF the evening service, Mr..
Briggs gave an organ recital OF a half hour g
length which was greatly enjoyed by those
present. Joseph Wan, tenor of the church
quartette, repeated the solo, my Heart to
Thee / Offer" which he rendered at the
morning service. This was composition
OF Mr. Briggs, some time ago. but has never
been given to the public until Sunday

that there would be meeting held at the
parish house at five O'Clock on Tuesday af
ternoon for all those interested in the pur-
chase OF new pipe organ for the church.
He also said for the encouragement OF those

very liberal offer toward carrying ont this
project. 1t is curren ntly reported that
Thomas Dewey has signiied his intention OF
