The Pioneer today prints an
interview from Chief of Police
Sherman Bailey in regard to the
charge that has been made
against members of the police
force of soliciting votes, carry
ing men to the polls and inducing
them to vote for candidates
favored by the police at the
school election Saturday night.
The chief feels agrieved in that
various rumors are afoat in re-
gard to various other scandalous
acts alleged to have been COM
mitted by the police. Of these
things the Pioneer knows moth
ing and nothing in connection
with them has ever been printed
in these columns. The chief adj.
mits that members of the police
force attempted to influence the
voting at the polls at the school
election and intimates that they
had as much right to do so as
had any other citizen. AS a pri-
vate citizen Mr.. Bailey and the
Other members of the police
force have a perfect right to
solicit votes as has any citizen,
but when members of the police
force during the hours in which
they are upon duty and dressed
in policeman's clothes send men
to the polls, direct them. how to
vote, take ballots from them and
instruct them to vote other
ballots they are doing something
very different from merely exer-
cising their rights as citizens.
Such acts are an outrage on the
rights Of every citizen and viola
ton of every policeman's oath Of
Office. It has come to a point in
this city where the people have
got to say whether they are 60
ing to do their voting themselves
or whether they are going to
turn the elections over to the
police and let them vote the town
at they please.

An Unfortunate Position,

An article published in the
news columns of the Pioneer yes
terday called attention to the fact
that Beltrami is in the wrong
congressional district and sug-
gested that it would do better in
the sixth district. These views
are said to be held by a number
of Beltrami county citizens who
have studied the situation. Bel
trami, it is true does not have a
great deal in common with the
other counties of the ninth dis
trict. Neither would it have
much in common with the coun-
ties of the sixth district. The
sixth district is long one now
and with Beltrami added and
with Stearns county at the other
end of the string it would have to
be a case of the tail wagging the
dog for Beltrami to get anything
political. Under present condi-
tions Beltrami county appears to
be a county without a congress
siOnal district. There is not much
hope of lettering the county s
condition without a general shak-
ing up Of congressional lines and
the forming of. the north central
counties of the state into dis
trict by themselves.

American Growth Proving the sal-

Says Recent Visitor.

American grape vines are proving
the salvation Of the Tokay grape" said
Julius Lando to a Milwaukee Sentinel
man. He had Just returned from Hun
gary, where the Tokay grape is grown.
In the early '9Os a vine louise made its
appearance in the Tokay fields" he con-
tinued, "and in an incredibly short time
had devastated every vineyard in the
district American shoots were expert
mented with and it was found that the
louise refused to touch them, they being
Immune from its ravages. After these
shoots had grown the first year, shoots
Of the Tokay plant were grated on them.
and these allowed TO grow another year.
The third spring they were cut down
and wound about the root stem Of the
American plant, and allowed to shoot
forth another year. But it was not until
the fourth year that an attempt was
made to garner a harvest"

TERRIER ATTACKS A LION.
Recent Exploring Expedition in Az
riea Marked by Some Thrill
ing Experiences.

A recent exploring expedition along
the boundaries Of British East Africa
killed SO lions and had some thrilling
adventures. Capt Maud, who was>in
command, writes IN the Philadelphia
Inquirer: Baird had a few days be-
fore been mauled by a lion. The brute
charged out from a patch Of brush and
Baird's shot failed to stop him. The
next moment the lion had knocked
him down and was mauling him.
''Baird's fox terrier James, which had
hitherto had a well-merited reputation
for discretion, performed prodigies OF
valor and positively found his way into
the lions mouth. But he was not Of
his majesty's taste, and was elected,
strangely enough, with little hurt.
Meanwhile Baird's two shikaris be-
haved splendidly. One caught the lion
by the tail and pulled, while the other
very coolly shot him through the
heart Baird had several wounds, some
OF them deep. but the miracle Of his
escape as wen as that Of James was
explained when It was seen that the
lions Jaw had been broken by Baird's
first shot"
