State Commission Will Use
Vigorous Measures to Pro-
tect Fish and Game.
GAME WILL BE SPARED FOR USE
OF SETTLERS.
Pot Hunters Will Be Prosecuted
For Every Violation Of
the Game Laws.

Executive Agent S. r. Fuller
ton Of the state game and fish.
commission passed through the
city this morning enroute to ST.
Paul from Mizpah, where he APP
peared as a witness against w.
B. Boyd of Brainerd and H. B.
Ward Of Fairmont, who were
charged with having killed one
COW moose on Nov. "A and two
COW moose on Nov. Is, in the
town Of Forest Grove, township
152, range %, located in Itasca
county. The trial was heard be-
fore Justice Covey Of Mizpah but
due to the non appearance Of the
principal witness against the
men and doubt Of the crime
having been committed, they
were discharged. Bailey & Nc
Donald and H. A. Simons of this
city appeared for the state.
Although very few prosecu-
tions have followed the violation
of the game and fish laws by
hOmeSteaders and settlers living
in the game belt of northern Min
nesota, erroneous opinion as to
the attitude Of the game and fish
commission has gained circula:
ton, and many people believe
that the laws are intended solely
for the benefit of outside sports
men who visit this region during
the hunting season. In order to
disabuse the minds of the people
regarding this, it may be said
with comparative safety that the
commission has for it's object the
protection of game and fish in
order to preserve it for the PEG.
pie who live in the game belt,and
who are virtually entitled to kill
deer and moose and catch fish
for their own consumption, re
CARELESS of the time of year. One
of the facts which go to support
this statement is that in every
case where a northern Minnesota
resident has been prosecuted for
violating the game laws and where
a conviction has followed, it has
been proven that Wanton destruc-
ton of game or selling it in the
open market has been carried on.
While no mem Der of the game
and fish commission could be
quoted as expressing himself in
favor of allowing the violation of
the laws by homesteaders, it is
thought that the attitude of the
commission to residents Of the
game and fish region of northern
Minnesota is very favorable.

Burned Out.

The fire department. was called
out this morning to suench a
blaze in the west end Of town and
upon their arrival upon the scene
Of the blaze found the house OF
Thos. Wilson, a woodsman who
has made Bemidji his home for
several years past, in flames.
The fire was quickly put out but
not before all the household eff.
fects and belongings of Mr.. Will
son had been destroyed, leaving
himself and Mrs. Wilson, who
was lying on a sick bed, in desti-
tute circumstances. The blaze
started from an overheated stove
pipe which ignited the wall pa

WILL LISTEN TO
STEVENSON
Interstate Commerce Meas.
ure Will Soon Be Argued
Before Committee.

Representative Stevenson has
been advised by Chairman Hep.
burn that he will be given hear
ing on his Interstate commerce
bill, which is similar in many
respects to the measures propos-
ed by Senator DIARIES and Re
preventative Cooper of Wjscon-
sin.
The Stevenson bill is based in
large part on the Minnesota law
which has stood the test of the
courts, and for that reason it is
regarded as worthy Of serious
consideration by the mittee.

Sup't Ritchle Of City Schools
Asks for the Public's
Attention.
VISITS OF PARENTS TO SCHOOL
SHOULD BE MORE GENERAL
Issues Earnest Invitation to All to
Cooperate in Making Bemidji
Schools the Very Best.

Sup>t Rltchle OF the city schools
has issued an open letter to the
people of the city urging them to
take a more active interest in the
work of the schools by giving the
schools their personal attention,
pleading that personal visits to-
the school room by parents will
do more than any other agency
to make the work of the schools
successful. Mr.. Ritchie's letter
is as follows:
TO the parents of 1.-THE Bemidji
public schools:
| School reopened Monday, Jan.
9, with many new faces. Some
of the familiar ones, however,
have not yet returned; this is a
mistake. Parents can hardly es-
innate the injury and injustice
done their children by keeping
or permitting them to remain out
of school, even for a few days.
Each recitation should develope
some new thing or idea and if the
pupil is not present he will miss
a link in the chain and thus be
unable to go forward to the next
step.
Hardness is also too common
and should be discouraged at
home as we'll as at school. This
is the time of year that the best
school work is done, hence all
should be on time and ready for
work.
There will be no promotion
from room to room at this time
of year, but every pupil and
every class will be adj
vanced just as rapidly as it's men
tai Development will warrant.
No class or pupil is being kept
back longer than prudence and
justice will demand.
Parents, be not too ready to
find fault with the teachers. Re-
member that children see things
though children's eyes. When
a seeming injustice has been done
go and have a friendly converse
ton with the teacher, and nearly
every time you will go away feel
ing better and realizing that the
teacher was not so much to blame
after all.
One might think from the above
that we have nothing but tale
of woe to give you. Far from it.
I believe that the school was
/ never in a better working condi-
ton and that the school spirit
among the pupils who attend
regularly was never better. Step
in to our grades and you will
find pupils and teachers busy and
enthusiastically engaged in their
work. Come with me to the high
school and [ will show you
corps Of Instructors and body
Of students who would do honor
to any high school in the state.
Again we say come and visit
us often.
Respectfully,
A. p. RITCHIE.

May Fight at Brainerd.

There is a bare possibility that
Billie Rhodes and Jimmy Potts,
two we'll known masters of the
prize ring, will give a glove con
test at Brainerd in the near
future under the auspices of the
local aerie of Eagles. The two
men are among the fastest in
their class in the northwest and
the contest ought to be a good
one. A com ittee from the
Eagles has been appointed to
make arrangements for the affair.

If the telenhone comnanies

If the telephone companies take
no more heed of appeals for proper
service than they take pains in serv-
ing their patrons. all such appeals
will be made in vain. Most every
one knows that the service has been
rotten almost from the start, and
there has been no improvement that
any one knows of. Competitive
lines run somewhat in the interests
of the people might prove effectnal.
but then how could they get in. The
first thing would be the people. up in
arms demanding that new companies
pay the city for franchises, notwith-
standing the fact that the old COM
panies have free franchises, and the
council would likely yield to the
voice Of the people, which would
mean that new companies would moi
come, because Of the fact that they
could not feel that there were able te
pay the bonuses.

'LYNcHERs INCONSISTENT.

Governor Glenn has directed the
state solicitor to make searching
investigation of the circumstances
of the lynching of the colored man
Mt Newborn, North Carolina. a few
days ago. The solicitor has obeyed
Governor Glenn and has this to say
bout the affair:
sIt is a deplorable and horrible
affair, to be condemned by good eiti-
zens. 1T casts blot on North Caro-
lima and should be severely punish
ed. As announced in my inaugural
address, I hold myself ready in all
such emergencies to order special
terms: therefore there is no excuse
for any mob taking the law in its
hands and committing the detestable
crime Of lyncliing. A mob. carried
away by frenzy on account of an
unnamable crime, sometimes excuses
itself on this account and asks the
public not to too severely condemn
it. S1t what excuse cal he ,ender-
ed in this case, where the defendant
could have been condignly punished
by the courts. For the States

Words like these sound we'll. but
seldom are lynchers brought to JUS
lice. They manage to escape some
way. The grand jury may not in.
dici them. or the courts may not.
prosecute them. and thus do they
avail themselves of the very things
they use as a pretext for takine tie
life OF a-human being. They want
the laws and courts to be quicker in
'nishing certain criminals, and vet
they by mob rule commit even
greater crimes and successfully
eyade and escape punishment. That
will be the case this time in North
Carolina as it has been heretofore,
notwithstanding, the alleged deter
mination conveyed in the nice little
speech of the governor.
