adopts the principle Of the former, so
long as he can monopolize It's benefits
and make the people, who furnish it's
advantages, pay him for the use Of
their own.
AN inspection of the doings OF this
convention will reveal the fact also that
by an "elastic currency" is meant an
elasticity which shall help those who
need it the least, and be denied to those
who need it most. The currency lis to
be elastic to the touch of the cred
itor, but very rigid at the approach Of
the debtor. And the government Is In
this case, as in the others, to furnish
the elasticity" to the banks, at the
expense of their customers, who pay
the taxes, for the most part, which
keep the government running.
No alleged financial heresy that was
denounced by these bankers in 1906,
with much untruth and all manner OF
uncharitable speech, but has been in
effect advocated by some Of thel1 at
their late meeting. The only difference
is that they derounce so-called vicious
doctrines when their advantages are
likely to accrue to the people at large;
they advocate them only so far as they
can win monopoly of those ndvan-
tages.
Hypocrisy is bad enough. But hy-
pocrisy plus selfishness, is perhaps the
worst compound by which public NOR
ais can be poisoned. And 1t ia not the
more respectable when concocted by
those who claim to be "upholders of the
nations honor" and the conservators
of the financial integrity Of the people

further. Its very first sentence was
the death rattle in the throat Of his
yarn. Irritated out of all prudence
by the interruption, and without stop
ping to measure the unkindness of my
words, said in an instant: Il wish
to the Lord he'd caught you"
With a grieved rather than an angry
look, the old campaigner received the
shot, and got out of the room with an
alacrity which would have stopped his
pension, sure, IL the department Off
cials had seen him. He never came
there after.
These are few reminiscences,-fatr
samples of whole lot. Perhaps I'll
give you some more sometime.

NEXT MORNING PHILOSOPHER.

There are times when the fool-killer
needs an assistant.
Often people who ask for public
judgment want to take an appeal.
"Out of sight out of mind" does
not apply to the detective or the tax
incuisitor. aoa
When a man takes the public into
his confidence he should be careful
not to betray it.
1t requires great caution to decide
a dispute between two friends without
losing one or both of them.
When a woman sues to recover for
breach of promise and receives ver-
dict of six cents. she realizes the
worthlessness of love.

! REMEMBER.

l remember, remember,
The farm where was born;
Where my father used to wake me
At the first faint CLEAN of morn.
But things are altered since that time,
Those good old days have fed,
And at the hour I used to rise
I'm seeking now my bed.
I remember, remember,
How I MIXED the lowing kline
And conveyed some slight refresh
ment
To score of hungry swine.
And yet this handling Of fat stock
Was a prophetic start;
make my living handling stocks
In Wall streets busy mart.
remember, remember,
The OK team red and white
With which tramped the meadow,
From morning until night.
But muscles developed then,
They come in handy still,
When / must walk behind and push
My auto up the hill.
1 remember remember.
The hoe I used to swing
Among the countless hosts Of weeds
That came to life each spring.
To swing the golf club and replace
The turf dig up now
Keeps me about as busy as
| The hoe did then, trow.
I remember. I remember
The trees so dark and high;
/ used to think their slender tops
Were close against the sky,
l work in skyscraper now,
But still tits little joy
To know I'm higher up in life
Than when was boy.

the journal of my court in my own

CLEARW ATER

PROPOSITION PASSED UP TO
GOVERNOR WHO WILL DE-
CLARE NEW CSUNTY
CREATED.

The State Canvassing Board
has declared that upon the re-
turns made by the several pre-
cinct election officers, the county
division proposition which divides
the county of Beltrami, and
which proposed to create the
new county of Clearwater out of
tWenty-seven towns upon the
western side Of the county, re-
ceived a majority Of fifty four
votes over the proposition was
therefore carried. tits said that
the governor will issue, if he has
not already issued, his proclama-
tion declaring the result of the
state canvassing board to be that
the county of Clearwater is enti-
tied to all the privileges Of an or
ganized county. It will be one of
the most naturally things in the
world that the people Of Bemidjl
should dispute this result in
the courts, and that the board of
county. commissioners of the
The Bemidji pioneer., 1902-12-25

county of Beltrami should do
likewise. For while the terri
tory of Beltrami county is large
and somewhat unwieldy, it is
still the prevalent opinion that
the time has not arrived to begin
the slashing up process in this
territory; and that even when the
time shall have arrived for the
division of the county, the divi-
sion shall be upon an east and
west line across the center or
about the center of the present
county. But the people in the
territory which comprises the
proposed Clearwater county vot-
ed with practicable unamity for a
division of some kind; that is, for
either Clearwater or Roosevelt
county, thus indicating their en-
tire willingness to undertake the
additional burdens OF taxation
which will be theirs through the
creation of another setof county
officers and county institutions.
If time shall prove that the
election creating Clearwater
county was regular and valid,
and that there are no legal objec-
tions which the courts will sus-
tain to the organization of the
county, it will then be time
enough for the Pioneer to con-
CRATE the people of Bagley upon
the success of their efforts to
make of their village the capita

SERIOUS FIRE.

Immediately gave the alarm and

The fire started under the forge
in the center of the building and
worked under the floor towards
the east end. The position of the
fire made it difficult to get at. and
it took an hours hard work to
accomplish this. The building
was badly wrecked, however, be-
low and above, and a couple hun
dred dollars worth of tools and
material destroyed. Tom Har-
ley is also a loser on his wood
working outfit. There was no

For the present, objection to the
organization of Clearwater coun-
ty does not lie to the quality Of
the land or the possibilities OF
the territory is Still in the hands
of either the government or Of
homes steaders who have yet to
prove up and whose lands are
not liable to taxation. While thel
shape of the new county is in
some respects grotesque, If not
laughable, its extreme length
being fifty-four miles and it's ex-
treme width eighteen miles,
the village of Bagley is so
centrally situated in the terri
tory that but few oftheresidents
of the county will feel like com
planning upon the score of incon-
venience in going to or from the
county seat.
What is left Of Beltrami coun-1
ty is great enough in area to sat-
isfy any ambitious city Of 10000
or 10000 people. Southwark
from a dividing line which would
cut off all territory north of the
Red Lakes, there are now within
the limits of Beltrami county
thirty organized townships, and
six or seven which willin course
of time demand local govern
ment. The county Of Stearns,
of which st. Cloud is the capital,
contains thirty-seven townships.
The county Of Morrison, of
which Little Falls is the capital,
countains thirty.tWo townships.
And these are two Of the largest
and wealthiest courties in Minne.s
sofa. There is nothing in the
natural resources OF either
Stearns or Morrison which would
belittle the thirty seven remains
ing townships of Beltranli CouIl.

been Topped by further county
division. And there is every
thing in the natural resources OF
the country northward from Be-
midi to give to this capital Of
Beltrami County very much
greater commercial and manu-
featuring Importance than is pos
sessed by either Little Falls or
st. Cloud. The point of rivalry
to Bemidli, by any other possible
growing city. is the British boun
Diary line, 100 miles away; while
there is between: Duluth and
Grand Forks no parallel in possi-

that, even though the twenty-sev-

teringly, as originally projected,
to a beautiful city of at least TO-,
900 people. But to accomplish

Where He BELONGED.

A clergyman observed a horse jockey
trying to take in a simple gentleman
by imposing upon him a broken wind
ed horse for a sound one. The parson,
taking the gentleman aside, told him
to be cautious of the person he was
dealing with. The gentleman declined
the purchase, and the jockey, quite
nettled observed, "Parson, had much
rather hear you preach than to see
you privately interfere in bargains be-
tween man and man in this way"
well" replied the parson, eff you
had been where you ought to have
been last Sunday you might have
heard me preach"
"Where was that" inquired the
jockey.
"In the state prison." returned the
