One OF the richest things vet
heard of is the Pinkham stone block
making machine which is not yet
invented. And being not yet invent.
cd, it could not be patented nor
made mot even into working model
OF one. Great is Pinkham, now
holding down the presidency OF
the Board OF Health, and greater his
fertile brain in forcing contractors
to wait for machine that does not
exist, only in his Imagination. Some
lively times are in store on this
latest fake.

PARTY DETERMINATIONS.
II.

In continuation from where we
had left of in yesterdays issue, Mr.
White says:"Ws know we'll enough
how to get rich, but We do not
lkuow-as a nation or as iudividu-
slt--how to be fair, The problem OF
distribution is the problem OF fair
play. Roosevelt calls it square
dssl.' The issue is not betwesn labor
and capital, as such. ''''''" Fair
play and square deal are some-
thing like tho pledge to do right,
capable of liberal construction. Yet
the thing that is in the minds Of the
people 10 an issue is something like
thi': At some place between million
and hundred millions a man must,
in the pil;ng up of wealth, gets
enough; aud enough means ell that
he needs the supply himself and his
honrshold with every sane luxury
,h-' modern civilization Offers"
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1904-12-21

Being 80 committed, he says that
"it is hard to believe that the party
that eight years ago was advocating
the policy Of hands Off is now ready
to lay hands on capital, aud such
rough har de-, too, when capital goes
wrong. '''''''' Leaders may play
and caper before high Heaven only
inside the little ring made by pop.
ular intelligence. As the people see
more aud know more, leaders may
do more. Theodore Roosevelt has
larger field than Grant had, or
than Harrison had, because he is the
leader ef a better people,"
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1904-12-21

"Ten years ago Theodore Roose-
velt was regarded by the public
generally and by his party leaders
in particular as a pestiferous young
mugwump, smart enough to main.
tain party regularity. Roosevelt
has not changed"
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1904-12-21

sentiment was too deep for noise
and for the, hurly burly OF psrtisan
political dem onstration; so men said
it was campsign OF apathy. 1t was
campaign of righteous fervor. The
votes prove it. The million plural
ity was not en- Endorsement OF the
Republican platform. It was not
an Endorsement Of the Republican
party. But neither was it q personal
triumph for Theodore Roosevelt.
It was a triumph for the ideals
OF common honesty, simple JUS
tice aud courageous manhood, for
which the American people believe
most sincerely that Theodore Roose-
velt stands. They did not vote for
him in spite of his ideals as they
voted for Blaine; the people voted
for Roosevelt because of his ideals,
and for no other reason in the world.
He played the dramatized part OF
Civic Righteousness in the great
morality play before the people,"

GIRLS GET BUSY
Clerk Of Court Rhoda Will Under.
take to Boom the Marriage
License Business.
Clerk of Court Fred Rhoda this

Clerk of Court Fred Rhoda this
morning looked over his official
records for the information of
the Pioneer and finds that during
theyear 'O3 Isl marriage licenses
were granted to the victims OF
Cupid S darts in Beltrami county.
June, the leafy midsummer
month, was the smallest in point
of business and Decem Der and
November were the largest, as is
usually the case. Mr.. Rhoda
states that he expects this year
to be a banner year in the mar
riage license business. 1t is leap
year and there are all sorts of
people who will take advantage of
this fact. The number of mar
riage licenses issued in this
county last year was very small
when averaged with the marriage
license business of other coun-
ties of about the same population
but Clerk of Court Rhoda is de-
termined to do something to
boost the business and accord
ingly will give during all thecom-
ing year a box Of bon bons to
every lady who personally applies
for a license.

Shakespeare Looks Up.

j. F. George this morning re-
ceived a letter from F. G. Bolin,
the Brainerd lumberman, well
known in this city dated at Webb
wood, Ontario, where MI. Bolin
has been personally inspecting
the Shakespeare gold mine. He
states that the prospect is one of
the best he has ever seen and
will surely be dividend payer.
Stock has been taken out of the
market temporarily pending the
investigation of a rich strike
made some two months ago. The
vein is holding out good and there
is every indication that a large
body of ore has been reached.
There are a number. of Benid il
gentlemen cutie heavily interest
ed in the property.

Tracy Bardwell Back From
Big Falls Country With
Interesting Story.
LITTLE TIMBER LAND In NEW
TOWNSlAYAILABLE NOW.
Squatters Have Taken Most OF
Good Timber Claims But Good
Farm Lands are Left.

Tracy Bardwell, the veteran
cruiser, is back from a trip tc
the north country, where he
went to cruise the five new towns
that are to be opened by the Du.
luth land office for settlement
January r. Mr.. Bardwell did
not make as thorough a trip over
the country as he had at first in
tended but is home with lot OF
information that will be interest
ing, nevertheless.
He says that the best claims in
the country are already squatted
on and there are claims where
there is valuable body of pine
that have as high as five rival
squatter claimants, all living in
shanties and all willing to make
a ngnG Tor the land when 1T is
opened for settlement. The
woods are full of cruisers at
present and of people looking up
land and at the hotel Of A. r..
Button standing room is nightly
at a. premium at present.
Mr.. Bardwell says there are
lots Of fine claims to be had in
the towns but everybody wants
pine and some of the finest farm
ing lands anywhere in the coun
try are being daily overlooked.
The winter road between
Northome and Big Falls has as
much travel on it at present as
any road in the country and is in
excellent condition.

Interest In Revival Meetings.

The revival services at the M.

interest and power that they will
have to be held in the Auditorium
from tonight. The indications
are for a revival Of the old fash
toned Methodist type. Dr.. Dodds
is not only a general but a YER
liable cyclone in revival and you
will miss it if you do not hear
him. He is seconded in his work
by the pastor J. B. Smith. Many
rose for prayer last night and
will date their start for the bet
ter lite from that time.

form Upon Which He
Will Stand.
STANDS FOR FEARLESS EN-
FORCEMENT OF LAWS.
State Officer Shall Eschew
Politics and Attend to
Business.

The following is the full text Of
the formal announcement Of
Robert O.. Dunn as candidate
for governor Of Minnesota:
II am candidate for the Re.
publican nomination for governor
of Minnesota and | respectfully
solicit the,support of all Republic
cans and my fellow-citizens gen
orally.
"No man is big enough to die
tate a platform for the Republi-
can party of Minnesota. The
party through it's represesenta-
tives in convention assembled,
will formulate a platform upon
which | will squarely stand. The
combined wisdom of the Repub-
lican party Of the state is better
than the Judgment Of any indi-
yidual member Of the party,
II heartily endorse and ap-
prove the platform adopted by
the Repu blican State convention
Of 1902.
"There are certain other
things which I believe in and will
practice, advocate and recon-
mend if am chosen governor.
"The State board of control
should be absolutely divorced
from politics and the affairs Of
the board should be conducted
on business principles on broad
guage lines with due regard to
humanitarian features; no Mig
gardlypolitics should be pursued.
One of my cardinal beliefs is non
interference of the executive with
the legislative branch Of the gov.
eminent, and the appointive Off
GERS should eschew politics and
devote their energies to the per-
Torrance of their official duties.
Those who serve the State best
will serve me best.
saThe State shOn]d make Hhara1
provision for the reclamation of
it's swamp lands.
II pledge myself to observe
and enforce the law which gives
to ex-Union soldiers the prefer
ence to appointive officers.
81 pledge myself to a fearless
and impartial enforcement of the
laws upon our statute books,
particularly those which guard
the interests of the people from
the encroachments of corporate
greed and aggression. Every
citizen is equal under the law
and should enjoy equal privileges
and equally share the burdens.
''In conclusion, I think my
record in the legislature and in
the State auditors office, which
is an open book, should be a
guarantee that l will discharge
the duties Of the office Of governor
in an intelligent and businesslike
manner. If nominated and
elected, I pledge myself to devote
my enUire time and attention tc
the faithful performance of the
duties of the position.
