THE oAreMAN.

AT the railroad crossing the gateman
stands,
Turning the crank in his faithful hands.
Bent ard wrinkled. yet strong and true
70 the daily duty tbs his to do.
The sun may shine. or the clouds may
frown,
July be torrid December cold,
Yet there. in his suit OF well-worn brown,
lie guards the way for the young and old.
Keeping with steady, tireless brain
watch for the inbound, outbound train,
lie signals the passage Of each through
AS with "Tinkleg and Tinker the gates
go down
How the waiting children caper and dance,
And the restless horses curvet and prance !
How the servant-maids. upon errands bent
View The intruders with discomfort
While heavy car and elegant coach
Rumble along on the shiny rails,
Ard on the busy ones time encroach
With the vexing burden delay entails
AS. mindful of duty's stern command,
In spite of impatence of fret, of frown,
The gateman puts to the crank his hand
And steadily turning the gates go down.
oh! | would that on every road to-day,
Where sin and its train hold right of way
Some gateman as ready as this might stand
Turning the crank in his faithful hand
That ever when danger should threaten
Whose path must cross the enticer's
track
Some gate a-tinkle might interpose
And hold from disgrace the weak ones
back
Some safeguard be built for unwary feet,
To halt them midway in the perilous street,
And to signal to each, spite of fret or
frown:
stand back for your life, while the gates
are DOWN.

SUBSCRIPTION SIS PER. YEAR
Rural Route.

Notwithstanding the fact that
we have heard so much in the
past two years about rural deliv-
cry routes it will probably sur,
prise most people to know that
there are now over 1900 rural
routes in Minnesota and the two
Dakotas. So numerous have
they become that a separate divi-
sion for this territory has been
created with headquarters at. st.
Paul and it is announced that the
mum Der of rural routes within
the three states will within few
months be increased to at least
1000. Next to the public schools
and the press the postofice de-
partment has been the greatest
educative force in the world and
it is probable that no single de-
velopment of the postal service
has, had so great an influence
upon the political and social
progress of the nation as has the
installation of the rural delivery
system. Think what 1000 rural
routes will accomplish in Mime
sofa, North and South Dakota
in keeping the farmers Of these
states in close touch with each
other and with the rest of the
world. Rural routes are destined
to work a wonderful change in
the civilization of the present day
and abundant signs of that
change are already evident.

The progress made by the
ladies club Of this city in organ

source of great satisfaction to
the citizens Of Bemidji. The
success of the ladies in this
matter has been conspicuous.
The project to establish a library
was preached scarce a half a
year ago and today the library is
a fact-it has been a fact for
nearly three months, with fine
selection of books and a con-
stantly increasing patronage.
Bemidji has done it's part. It's
up to Carnegie.

SENATOR DAVIS, democratic
nominee for vice president, is 81
years old. It has been demon
strated to the American people
that no man whose physical
strength is impaired can for long
stand the terrific strain of the
presidency. If the democrats
should be successful in Novem-
Der and disease or accident
should make Davis president he
would be a dead man within
three months.

LOSS OF HALF A MILLION.
Steamship San Jacinto Destroyed at
Chester, Pa.

Philadelphia, July 13.-The steam
ship San Jacinto of the Mallory line
was practically destroyed by fire dur
ing the day while lying at Roach's
shipyard, Chester, Pa, where she was
laid up for repairs. The vessel was
built year ago by the Roach Ship
building company at cost of over
half million dollars.
The fire originated in room used
Tor the storing of oil and varnish and
had gained such Roadway before the
arrival OF the fire engines that the
firemen divided their attention be-
tween the big vessel and the property
OF the shipbuilding company adjacent
to the dock.

POLITICS

Itasca county has three candi-
dates for the legislature. If it
can eliminate two of them it can
probably nominate,and elect the
third.
The Detroit Record thinks
that in view of Governor Van
SAINTS experience it will be quite
a while before anyone else at
tempts toset up a dictatorship
at the state capitol.
The Duluth Herald, democratic,
admits that the democratic party
has an uphill job on it's hands

prove it.
Now he is, and now he isn't a
candidatefor congress Will Rowe
of Crookston. Mr.. Rowe is not
this years spring chicken and
he appreciates the value of adver-
Using and has quite definite
idea of how to getit cheap. He
nov says that it costs Sis, 1000 to
go to congress from the ninth
district and he doubts if the
country needs salvation at that
price.

The recent republican state
convention sat upon a volcanoes
edge for several days. That
there was not an eruption and
desperate trouble for the party
was due to the frmness and
justice of Senator Clapp as chair
man and to the fine skill with
which the leaders of the party
plotted the convention to the har-
monious end of it's labors. The
fate of the party lay in the hands
of the committee on credentials
and most ably did the fifteen
gentlemen who composed that
committee discharge their
duty. The 1epu blican party Of
Minnesota should be proud that
it has men of such courage and
ability. Northern Minnesota
was represented on the com.
mittee by Senator A. D. Stevens
of Crookston and it is largely due
to his skillful leadership that
there is today no split in the
party.
