THEY DECLINE
T0BE MAYOR
Many Candidates Talked of
But Most of them Refuse
to Run.

The topic of universal interest
in Bemidji is the question as to
who will be the next mayor Of
the city.
A great many have been "men-
toned, but those most talked
of, perhaps, are Mayor Hender-
son, DR.. Gilmore, Il. w. Bailey,
W. N. Bowser, John Gibbons.
and J. W. Irwin. Mayor Hender-
son and DR.. Gilmore refuse to
accept the position under any
circumstances. Neither Mr.. Bal
ley nor Mr.. Irwin have made
statements. Messrs. Bowser
and Gibbons look upon the posi-.
ton as one of unpleasant respon.
sibilities but could probably be
induced to accept if it could be
demonstrated that the majority
of the people of the city want
them.
No one has been found thus
far who is willing to announce
himself as a candidate, the dis
position being to let the people
speak in unmistakable terms as
to whom they want.

THE LID
on TIGHT
Bemidji is a Closed Town in
the Strictest Sense Of
the Word.
COUNTY ATTORNEY THREAT
EMS TO CONTINUE CRUSADE.
Declares He May Close Saloo rs
Sunday and at II O'Clock
Nights.

Mr.. Mcdonald stated this
morning that he might go even
farther in his crusade against
violations of the state law regu-
lating bling and the opera
ton of saloons, and said that be
was now considering whether or
not to strictly enforce the law by
compelling all saloonkeepers to
close their establishments at IL
O'Clock every night and all day
Sundays.
That the election of the first
mayor of the city may have
something to do with the gamb-
ling question is the opinion ex-
pressed by many people Of the
city, but others are of the firm
belief that gambling is closed
for good. Much talk is heard
about the matter, and many diff
ferent opinions have been ad-
vanced as to the cause for the
sudden action of the county at
torney. Some believe that Mr..
Mcdonald wants a man that he
may select for mayor and that
the closeup was for the purpose
of lining up certain elements in
the city. Others are Of the
opinion that the saloonkeepers
themselves wanted the close up.
Still others believe that the only
reason for Mr.. McDonald's &C.
ton was that he, together with
the police force, were opposed to
the adoption of the charter and
that he took this method of ''get-
ting event. there having been a
few saloon men who. had been
opposed to the charter but who
at the last minute supported the
document.

WOMAN IN INDUSTRY.
Not "Frightful Failure" Says Miss Abbott
Gives Her Reasons.

In the current issue of ''Harpers Weekly" Edith
Abbott makes a spirited reply TO a recent article
on Women in Industry" by Flora Mcdonald
Thompson. which appeared in THE North Ameri-
can Review Mrs. Thompson having maintained
that woman is ''frightful failure in industry,
first. because her average earnings are less than
81 a day, and, second. because her employment has
tended ITO lessen efficiency and 10 increase the cost
OF production" Miss Abbott combats her facts
and her conclusions at every point with the result
that the skeptical observer of woman in her
industrial relations is likely readjust some OF his
notions.
For instance. Miss Abbott finds that Massachu-
setts which she considers typical Of the whole
country, more than 20 per cent OF the women en-
gagged in manufacturing industries more than
paid women who are engaged in trade and the pro-
fessions for whom wage statistics are always want
ing. the average rises very much above Mrs.
Thompson's average.
Apropos Of the contention that woman IS an eco
nomic pervert" and a ''frightful failure because
her employment has tended to increase the cost
OF production, Miss Abbott points out that the in
crsasing employment of women has gone hand in
hand with almost phenomenal Increase In the
efficiency Of American industries.
Whatever be the principles on which the busi-
enterprises of to-day conducted, she says,
they are certainly not run as charitable institu-
tons and IL is a fact not to be questioned that
every laborer who is part of the great machine
is there because he or she add more 10 the
product than his or her labor costs"
In conclusion Miss Abbott disputes the sOundness
