Citizen: s.Itis high time for
some one to begin making ar
rangements for establishing a
skating rink in Bemidii for the
coming winter. The pastime af-
fords amusement to hundreds of
young men and boys who would
otherwise spend a large part of
their time in saloons around
town. -

Thos. White, Grand Forks:
"Bemidji is the best place I've
struck yet, with of course the
possible exception of my home
town. I have passed through
here several times but never be-
fore stopped off here. Hereafter
when I come down this way Be-
midi will be my headquarters. !"

you are agitating a market day
in Bemidji. 1t would be a great
thing for the farmers and I know
that we would all do everything

We are truly glad to note that
Marion Comfy will issue bonds
and build good roads to be the
property of the county. A decisA
ion to this effect was reached by
the county court of that county last
week. There is absolutely no
doubt but that the magistrates act,
ed wisely. Good roads not only
enhance the value Of the properly
adjacent to them, but they will re-
suit in an actual saving to the pub
lie which will far more than over~
balance the increase in taxation.
There is no other investment that
the farmer can make that is 50 GER

THE CHICAGO PLATFORM.
Representative Cowherd Expresses
Democratic View Of the Declaration.

Representative w. s. Cowherd, chairman
of the democratic congressional commit
tee, in an interview with a reporter for The
Star today outlined briefly the salient
points of the democratic attack on the
Chicago platform of the republican party.
Mr.. Cowherd claims there Is but one plank
of any note in the platform and that is the
one which threatens negro DONNA ton"
He characteriZes this as an attempt to re-
vive force" legislation, and says he does
not believe the American people will con-
sent to any such thing.
The Chicago product said Mr. Cow
herd, is a platform of evasions. 1t is
notable for the things 1t does not say The
greatest issue of the coming campaign is
the tariff and on that the platform is
straddle. Governor Cummins says the
Iowa Idea Is justified General Grosvenor
says 1t is stand pat and Mr.. Payne says
1t leaves the question open.
"On the Philippines. the next greatest
question before the people. no policy is
enunciated, though the President. through
Secretary Taft, had already announced
his.
THE platform has only one notable
plank. That Is the adoption of the Crum-
packer plan for the reduction of the repre-
sentation of the southern states in Con-
gress. 1t Is an attempt to revive Lodges
force bill and tack 1t onto Roosevelt's ne
gro policy. / do not believe that the white
people of this country, north or south will
support any policy which attempts to force
negro domination on any state in the union
This Is the most serious Of the many mis-
takes in the platform
