the merger, and the attitude o.
the BemidJi PIONEER. It is good
and refreshing reading:
"The Dispatch has made the
discovery that Gov. Van SAINTS
excellent administration of state
affairs had nothing to do with
the splendid victory which he
achieved in the state election;
that the principles and record OF
the Republican party in state
and nation had nothing to do
with it; that the conspicuous
demerits Of the opposing party
and candidate and platform had
nothing to do with it, and that
all the campaign speeches and
literature devoted to the claims
of Gov. Van SAINT to public ap-
proval on these grounds were of
no account. "It was the merger
ISSUE" it says, (which swept the
state like prairie fire, and every
other thought or consideration
went down before it," Is that
so? No doubt the apocryphal
but generally circulated story
that the Northern Securities
company was spending fabulous
sums of money to beat Van SAINT
in order to punish him for his
action in the merger business,
did make great many votes for
him. Whether there was any
truth Or not in the story-and
no other basis seems yet to have
been found for it than conjecture
it was just as affective as if it
were true, and no doubt thou
sands of people voted for Van
SAINT because they believed it to
be true. And this without any
reference to the merits of the
merger question itself. For the
people at large know little of it's
intricate legal problems, and
probably care less. They are
more likely to be interested in
the business side of it.
"But now that all the political
advantage there was in the out
cry against the merger has
been reaped and safely slowed
away in the election returns, it
would seem to be about time to
stop lying about it. 1t is about
time to cease pounding the air
with the absurd statement that
the formation of the Northern
Securities company was ''an
audacious attempt Of giant cor
porations to override the law, I"
when the very question at issue
before the courts is whether
they violated any law or not. The
State has been before the Su-
preme court on this issue, but
has been unable to make out to
the satisfaction of that tribunal
that they violated any state law.
The United States is now before
the federal courts upon the issue
whether the Sherman antitrust
law was violated in the formation
or intent of the Northern Secur-
tiles company. 1t is the height
of absurdity to suppose that the
corporations concerned intended
to violate any law, stale or nation
al, in the organization and work
ings of that company. For they
were vitality interested in putting
the vast interests at stake on an
impregnable legal basis, and
every step in the proceedings
was taken, as everybody knows,
upon the advice of eminent
lawyers that it was entirely in
accordance with the law. IF the
supreme court should decide
that the legal advisers of the
corporations concerned were
mistaken in this, and that there
was some technical flaw in the
roceed!ngs which brought them
within the prohibitory terms of
the antitrust law, no one sup
poses that they would hesitate an
instant TO obey the injunctions of

When the butter won't
come put a penny in the
churn," is an old time dairy
proverb. 1t often seems to
work though no one has ever
told why. ...
When mothers are worried
because the children do not
gain strength and flesh we
say give them SCOTS Emul-
sion.
1t is like the penny in the
milk because it works and
because there is something
astonishing about it.
SCOTS Emulsion is simply
a milk of pure cod liver oil
with some hypophosphites
especially prepared for delicate
stomachs. .-
Children take to it naturally
because they like the taste
and the remedy takes just as
naturally to the children be-
cause it is SO perfectly adapted
to their wants.
For all weak and pale and
thin children SCOTS Emulsion
is the most satisfactory treat

DESPITE RAIN
City Was Filled With Crowd
Of Carnival Visitors To-
day..
LOWERING CLOUDS
Throughout the Morning Threat
ened to Prevent the Pretty
Flower Parade Which was
the Principal Event
.fthe Day.

Throughout this morning, low.
ering clouds with occasional down.
falls OF rain threatened to dampen
the carnival spirit and prevent the
flower parade this afternoon. Just
before the hour for the parade the
clouds scattered and few shafts
of sunshine sent the hopes OF the
carnival management and throng
OF visitors skyward, as the parade
was the principal event of the day.
The ladies who had spent days
in decorating the vehicles decided
that their efforts should not be for
naught, or that the visitors should
be disappointed, and announced
that they would enter the parade.
Among those who have entered
are: Mesdames StsnGeld, Thomp.
son. Parker, Foreman, Chandler,
Day, Korpagay, Burckhalter, Joe
Green, A. n. Green and Griffith.
The excursion trains from sur
rounding points brought large
crowds in this morning, and the
streets were soon crowded with
merrymakers.
The midway was the center of
attraction last night and enter
tanned throng until late in the
night.
The prizes awarded by the
judges on floats will be announced
late this afternoon, as will the
winners OF the prizes in the flower
parade.

The trip to Salt Lake City or to the
Pacific coast via that point over the
Denver Il Rio Grande and the Rio
Grande Western Is the most beauti-
full in America No European trip Of
equal length can compare with 1t in
grandeur OF scenery or wealth Of
novel interest. Then Salt Lake City
itself Is most Quaiot and picturesque
place and we'll worth the journey. Its
Mormon temple, tabernacle, tithins
office and church installations; its hot
sulphur springs within the city limits
It's delightful temperature, sunny
climate and its Great Salt Lake
deader and denser than the Dead Sea
in Palestine-are but few features
OF Salt Lake City's countless attrac-
lions. There are parks, drives, canons
and beautiful outlying mountain and
lake resorts. Imagine, IL you can, a
bath In salt water mile above sea
level and Ia water in which the hu-
man body cannot sink. Inquire of
