We are glad to see that the firm
of O Leary q BoWser have proven
by practice that it pays to con
slider a working day no longer
than 13 hours. We would like to
see every other store in town
follow their example. In justice
to- themselves and their employees
nearly all business places should
close at 8 o'clock. What goods
are sold after that hour could
just as well be bought earlier had
the customer SO Willed. An ex-
ception should be made for Sat
surday night, as is the practice OF
O'Leary & BoWser, as then the
country customers and the work
ingmen with their week 8 wages
must be taken care of. Bemidji
is rapidly becoming a city, and
the adoption Of the early closing
practice q step towards modern
demands.

A town is not a section crew,

The town which is led by q

The town which shuts it's eyes

greasing its own downfall.
There are men in Bemidji who
have shown time and again that
their only aim is to fill their
pockets at the expense OF all
others. Their minds are lower
than that Of a bed bug; their
habits ape the grayback. When
these men attempt to control the

tation of a Monte Carlo. High
taxes and a busted treasury have
no terrors to the Wielders Of the

Legislation will be valid as to those
objects within its purview.''
So the question is, was there at the
time Of the enactment Of Chapter ~
such difference in the situation or
circumstances or inherent conditions
of the counties then organized as to
suggest the propriety Of different leg
islation with respectto them from that
which had been or would be applied
to previously organized counties. The
reason for the distinction made In the
Spencer case and on which the decision
was based seems to have been that
because lnorganized counties are
sparsely settled or populated twill
take some time to organize county
governments and TO get them in fair
working order. For this reason that
part OF the act which provided, in eff
feet, that at the coming election no
county commissioners should be elect
ed to supersede the governors APP
pointees, was held valid. This dis
tinction may have been well founded,
and the reason given therefor sound
when applied to mmissioners, and
wholly without merit when consider
ing the suiect of taxation. It might
be proper and legitimate exercise of
the legislative power to provide for
the continua nce Of the board OF county
commissioners in Office until the couns
ty machinery was we'll in motion. and
yet uniustifiable to especially legislate
so as to restrict and cripple its power
of taxation.
In one case it may be urged that
the given reason is apparent and con-
vincing, because it is highly probable
that positive benefit to the new county
will be the result, while, as to the
other, no one could urge that placing
a limit on the amount to be raised by
taxation would always prove benefi-
cial, or be anything but an injury at
times. 1t certainly would be injurious
if the needs of the county required the
collection of greater sum OF money
than that allowed. We have. general
laws limiting the amount of taxes the
counties of the state may annually
levy, but the legislature had no more
right to except the counties Of Beltra-
mi and Cass upon their organization
from the operation of the general laws
of the state relating to taxation by
counties.and place them IN o class by
themselves, in this respect, than ii
would have to so except an already
organized county of the state. This
| it might do and could only do in case
such county differentiated from all
Others by some characteristic or pecn-
liarity sufficient to bring it within the
rules as to special legislation, And
the legislature might have refused to
organize the counties in question, but
the mere fact that although estab-
lished. they are unorganized, but are
aboutto be organized affordsno reason
lwhy, when they cease tosbe unorgan-

AT the opening of the United States

AT the opening of the United States
senatorial campaign at Paris, Mo-,
recently, William j. Stone and Champ
Clark both spoke from the same
spring wagon. The ex-governor
prefaced his remarks by saying: II
shall make brief speech by calling
your attention to my peculiar posi-
Iion. You viii observe that in the
afternoon program 1 am wedged in
between a horse race and Champ
Clark Can you imagine anything
more AWKWARD" After he had con-
cluded Congressman Clark climbed
over the side of the wagon and opened
his speech in a voice which could be
heard in the lower pasture, as follows:
Here's q problem in mathematics
for you. If Gov. Stone consumes an
hour and eighteen minute in making
a few brief remarks, how much time
would he need for speech?''

SEEING THE LIGHT.

Robert P. Porter. for years one of
the main props of the protection tenn
pie, declares the structure is top
heavy and advises the occupants that
it will fall of its own weight. Mr.
Porter has seen a new light. In his
opinion the Dingley bill will drive
manufacturers out of the country.
Mr.. Porter used to think freetraders
were nearly related to his satanic
majesty. Now he declares free trade
is an absolute necessity. He has re-
turned from Europe. where he has
been studying economic and CONNER
cial conditions. He called upon Pres
ident Roosevelt the other day and in
formed the executive that the only
way to checkmate Europe is to let
protection go and adopt reciprocity
II we cling to Dingleyism, in the
opinion of MIR. Porter, Europe is
ready to retaliate by the adoption of
tariff legislation that will be hostile
to American interests or by forming
an alliance which will be governed
solely with q view to shutting out
American products"
One very grave danger which con-
fronts this country, Mr.. Porter point
ed out, is the strong probability of
American manufacturers removing
portions of their plants to Great Brit
ain in order to take advaI tage of the

free trade of that nation. He called
the presidents attention to the ex-
periments in this direction that have
been made by capitalists at Cape
Breton, and said that the results OBJ
tanned were so eminently satisfactory
that the men concerned believe they
have found 3 means of relieving
themselves from the embarrassment
OF the Dingley tariff at any time they
conclude the embarrassments are too
difficult to bear.
When extreme protectionists like
Robert p. Porter declare for free trade
it is proof, as the Rockford Star says.
that the leaven is working. His talk
to President Roosevelt will do good
The president was never an apostle OF
protection, but a low tariff man.
However, if he urges reciprocity. he
will have a fight with the eastern
manufacturers and they have hereto
fore been powerful enough to put re-
ciProcity to sleep in the senate.

THE MEN OF TIE HOUR.


1t is an impossibility TO magnify
the overwhelming necessity of prompt
and determined action that must be
taken by this nation to drive from its
pale that most dreaded enemy
anarchy. The germ of anarchy and
this auarchistic spirit must be located
and killed with all that has grown
therefrom. The New York World
calls attention to the absolute neces'
sity of more stringent measures for
the protection OF American presidents
by pointing to the tragic and humili-
ating record of the past few years.
During the last SO years the follow
ing presidents have been elected:
LINCOLN,
Grant,
Hayes,
GARFIELD,
Cleveland,
Harrison,
MCKINLEY.
Seven have been elected and three
of those men have been struck down
by an assassin. Nearly half of the
presidents cleo ed since the civil war
have been murdered. No country in
Europe has had such a CHASTITY record
in the same number of years. 1t
would be hard to find blacker rec
ord in history. The people must rem
edy the evil What they demand will
be done.
