LOW SHOWS KEPT OUT.

Any gathering similar to the
Park Region G.. A. r. encamp
ment now being held in BemldJl
draws great crowds of visitors to
a town. Where there are crowds
out for a good time there is sure
to be considerable money spent,
and as rule there are plenty OF
places especially provided for
those who are willing to part
with their cash. These money
getters range all the way from
the inofensive peanut and pop
corn stand to the low variety
show.
Shows which exhibit in town
while conventions, encampments,
etc, are in progress pay better
than the other temporary money
makers, therefore there are al
ways a large number OF managers
of tent exhibitions ready and
anxious to pitch their outfits
where there is something going
on. They are willing to pay a Il.
cense. The lower the moral
tone of one of these shows the
bigger crowd it draws. This
may be a shocking fact to some,
but it is true nevertheless. Be
cause they draw NJ bigger crowd
they are willing to pay a bigger
license. In the smaller towns
the temptations to admit them
within the limits and give them a
license to carry on operations is
a strong one, often too strong
for those having the encamp-
ment, convention or whatever it
may be. in charge, to resist.
None of this class of shows
could obtain permission to ex-
hibit in Bemidji during the en-
campment. Commander Bailey
and his followers, with the coun-
cilmen, let it be known at the
start thatnothing but entertain
ment of a clean nature, such as
any lady might enjoy, would be
permitted in town encampment
week, and they have strictly lived
up to their first statement rela-
tive to the matter, although APP
plications for licenses for shows
of a questionable nature have
been made.
This is a very good thing for
Bemidji. 1t will give our guests
much better impression OF the
town to carry away with them.
More money could have been
made the other way but the re-
sulting evil would have more than
unbalanced any cash benefit
which could have been derived.

SENATOR DANIELS VIEWS.

Senator Daniel, who is in Washington,
says that in his opinion, all speculation
az to the probable democratic nominee
for the presidency next year is prema-
ture. 1t is entirely too soon, he said,
'for the democrats to settle upon any
one man. A year and half constitutes
long time in American politics, and
many things may happen between the
present and convention time to alter the
whole aspect of affairs. The next Con-
gress will discuss the live issues of the
day and the attitude of the two parties
upon such issues will then be clearly de-
fined. That tariff reform will enter in
the next campaign is inevitable. The
merchants and manufacturers, as we'll as
the farmers and consumers of the country,
are interested in having the tariff judi
ciously revised, and the democratic party
ought to realize that such a revision
should be made upon lines that will not
carry destruction to manufactures, COM
merce and labor. 1t should be borne in
mind that our industrial interests are so
diverse that no abstract theory can be
applied to them. Therefore compromise
is essential if we wish to accomplish
generally good result 1t being con-
ceded that American good are sold cheaper
in many foreign countries than they are
at home, it is obvious that we are build
ing up foreign interests at the expense
of our own, while the heavy prices charged
at home create inordinate wealth upon
the one hand and carry oppression on the
other The money question must be-
came one of prime importance during the
first session of the Fifty-eighth Congress,
and the Aldrich bill regulating the de-
post of customs revenues in national
banks must be superseded by a more
comprehensive measure. The republic
can party being in control the outcome
may be such as to throw that party out
of the management of the government. "

MIR. GORMANs VIEWS.

Senator German was IN New YORK
yesterday and during an interview said;
''The leading issue of the presidential
campaign of 1904 may be deter
mined by the events of the next II
months. Issues will shape themselves.
They will be indicated, perhaps, in the
debates during the next session of Con-
gress. While it is too early to attempt
to name the issues in the order of their
importance they will assume before the
public, some idea of their relative import
ance may be had from the discussion in
Congress within the next year"
Senator German was asked about the
forthcoming gubernatorial campaign in
MARYLAND. "Our State" he said, "seems
welded to the idea of rotation in office,
Gov. Smith, / have heard, does not seek
a denomination. The only gentleman who
has declared himself is Mr.. Warfield. He
is of family prominent in Maryland al
fairs for more than century, has made
A great success in business and seems
generally liked. No one else has an
nounced that he seeks the nomination. "
About the recent primary in Balti-
more the Senator would say only
that the outworking of the new primary
laws seems to have wiped out any ground
for the accusation that the primary
elections do not faithfully record the
preference of voters in Baltimore.
Democrats, he said, who were loyal to
the party would accept the result grace
fully and support the candidate. 1t was
intimated that the Senator had been
especially friendly to Mr.. McLane. On
this point he said: 81 do not know Mr..
McLane personally, although, of course,
knew his uncle very intimately as well
as his father. 1t is known in Baltimore
that | took no active part in the recent
primary contest.
Senator Germans son, who was pres
ent, has not entered politics, and the
Senator said that while he did not
oppose his sons taking up political
career, he did not know that A. P. jr.
desired especially to follow in his father
footsteps. The article by Bryan on
Cleveland was shown to the Senator,
who declined to make any comment upon
it, except to say that Mr.. Bryan, being
editor OF a newspaper, necessarily felt II
incumbent upon him to speak often on
the situation for the benefit of his readers.

liked or did not believe in. He was
especially caustic in venting his opinion
of spiritualism and socalled visits OF
shades from another world. Among
other things in referring to the latter he
said their messages we're meagre, I'M
satisfactory, that the spirits always
seemed to be in hurry, and, in short,
lost what little sense they had while on
earth as soon as they passed behind the
veil. Beecher, it would seem, since he
entered the unseen world, has become as
much of an imbecile as those who have

ing a New York publisher recently

Beechsr, with all his foibles, was of a great

other realm, into whose mysteries so
many are interested, he should restrict
his communication to "Prof. West s
Widows Mite" is hard to comprehend
in the face of so many other things which
the race at large desire to know of the

A MYSTERY STILL.

The evidence given yesterday at the
inquest into the death of Arthur r.
Pennell and Mrs. Pennell before Justice
Murphy in Buffalo will not help the
authorities in any way to solution of
the Burdick murder mystery. Whether
the tragedy at Genres stone quarry on
March 10, in which Pencil was killed
and Mrs. Pennel was fatally injured.
was due TO accident or design was not
proven.
Thomas Penny, who acted as attorney
for the Pennell family since Arthur PEN
nell's death, declared that so far as he
was aware, nothing in the papers left by
Mr. Pennell would throw any light upon
the murder of Edwin R. Burdick. When
questioned regarding the alleged defalca-
tons by Pennell, Mr.. Penny declined to
answer. J. Frederick Pennell, brother
of the dead lawyer and administrator of
the estate, who has possession of most of
the papers, was out of the city, and Mr..
Penny informed the court that he did
not know where he was or when he
would return to Buffalo.
Evidence that would show defalca-
ton would simply be accumulative,"
said Justice Murphy after the evidence
1as all in. ''No stronger motive could
be proven than has already been brought
out here in the Burdick inquest. But
proving a motive does not establish sui
eide. The court is prepared to announce
its findings"
Judge Murphy then delivered his ver-
dict as follows: 81 find and certify:
That Arthur r. Pennell came to his
death on the 10th day of March, 1908,
as result of injuries received while
riding in An automobile, the said auto
mobile plunging from an embankment
down into the Genres stone quarry
that / cannot determine from the evil
dence submitted whether such plunge
was accidental or designed; that Car
rie Lamb Pennell came to her death as
a result of said plunge of the automobile
into the quarry"
