Fine New School House in Leroy
Township.

The new school house in the Boyd
district, which is now completed, is
about the best OF. its kind in Mower
county. Not because there are more
square feet in it or better light or
better arrangements but because while
it combines many points of conven-
ience it pre- sents one of the strol. gest
points that can possibly appeal to the
minds of the children who attend the
school and the public that pays the
bill, and that is the architectural fea-
ture. 1t isn't plain box, like an old
fashioned affair. 1t has a very pretty
front, with pillars and rounded corners
and ornamentation, and windows put
in in a way to attract attention and
please the eye. The basement stone is
regular and finished and the building
gives one the impression that some
thing more has been sought for than
a simple shelter against storm and sun.
It is goth century country school
house and we have so much faith in
the value Of doing them right that we
do not hesitate in declaring our opin-
ion that the new Boyd school house re-
fleets so much credit on the district
that built it that it has paid for itself
even before the school has opened. It
proves that it is a good district in
which to buy a farm and make home.

Character and Reputation
May Differ,

President Nicholas Murray Butler in
his address of welcome to the students
at the opening of the college year at
Columbia university Wednesday told
the students of the immense importance
in their college life of careful attention
on their own part and on the part of
all faculties and schools, all teachers
and scholars, to character building.
eff we fail in forming those traits
and habits which together constitute
character" he continued, "all our learn
ing is an evil Just now the American
people are receiving some painful les
sons in practical ethics.
"They are having brought home to
them, with severe emphasis, the distinc-
tion between character and reputation
A mans true character, it abundantly
appears, may be quite in conflict with
his reputation, which is the public es-
innate of him.
"Of late we have been watching repu-
tations melt away like snow before the
sun; and the sun in this case is mere
publicity. Men who for years have
been trusted implicitly by their fellows
and so placed in positions of honor and
grave responsibility are seen to be mere
reckless spectators with the money OF
others and petty pilferers of the savings
of the poor and needy.
"Put blunt]y, the situation which
confronts Americans today is due to
the lack of moral principle. New sta
tutes may be needed, but statutes will
not put moral principle where it does
not exist. The greed for gain and the
greed for power have blinded men tC
the old-time distinction between right
and wrong.
"Both among business men and al
the bar are to be found advisers, count
ed shrewd and successful, who have
substituted the penal code for the NOR
al law as the standard of conduct
Righ and wrong have given way to tht
subtler distinction between legal, mo-
illegal and illegal; or better, perhaps
between honest, law-honest and dis
honest. This new triumph of min(
over mortals is bad enough in itself
but when, in addition, its exponents Sc
cure material gain and professional
prosperity, it becomes menace 10 ou

A New Russian Era.

Episodes like this war are part OF
discipline of crude and undeveloped
race such as the Russians are. n new
era of genuine advancement is already
in sight for the one hundred and fifty
millions of human beings who acknoW-
lege the Czar as their ruler. In the
military sense, Russia's position in the
East has been eclipsed; but it may be
found source, of strength rather than
of weakness for her to abandon, at pres
ent, all idea Of armed dominance and
to proceed with the agricultural and
commercial advancement of Siberia,
Joining all other nations in peaceful
and friendly efforts to develop Man.
churia and to open up trade with all
parts of China. Russia remains al
most where she stood ten years ago as
a far Eastern power in the geographi-
cal sense, with the added advantage
that. she has now her great railway line
to Vladivostok completed, and has
made substantial beginnings in the
planting of towns and the opening up
of farm lands over vast expanse Of
country. She had previously promised
to evacuate Manchuria, and had dis
avowed designs of conquest against
Korea. In technical sense, therefore,
she can claim not to have lost her per-
manant nOsitinn on tha Pacific coast
But she will not menace Japan.-From

When Central Plant Kills
Your Creamery Look
b Out for Prices.

f. The following issa clipping from an
Alton, Iowa, paper. 1t tells the exact
condition after a central plant had
killed home creamery and should be
warning to the farmers shipping their
cream to such plants instead of patro-
nizing their home creamery. s 4.
"There is bitter fight going on just
now among the creameries operating
in this district, for control of the sur
plus Gre am of the county. Eyer since
the local concern shut down last fall
outside creamerjes have been trying to
build up their business to point where
local competition could be choked to
death should it ever again spring up.
"About month or so ago the trust
concerns got little too sure of their
ground and instead of paying the far
mers the price established and paid by
the Alton creamery, viz, 3 cents a
pound less than New York quotations,
they would only buy for from 6 to 8
cents pound less than New York quo
tations. The cream selling farmers
soon got discouraged at this and the
local creamery men were urged by
many of their former patrons to open
up once more. They were promised
plenty of support If they would under
take to open up. A meeting of the d.
rectors was called, the situation can
vassed, and a decision was reached to
start up again.
"The big western creameries quickly
heard of the new deal and their men
were soon on the ground making things
lively. The price Of cream went up as
if by magic, the farmers were told that
the local people could not stand the
competition and it would not pay to
turn cream over to them. The direc-
tors of the local concern were also seen
and told that the trust proposed to have
cream around there if they had to pay
two prices for it.
1.-The Alton creamery closed it's doors
the next day, and they have not been
open for business since. The price of
cream has been kept up to almost the
New York figure, and as long as this
continues the local creamery will hard
ly open tor business. -.

Don't Leave Tine Old Farm.

American Farmer: Pathetic, beyond
description, is the message left behind
him by young man in Indiana who
committed suicide last month. "Don't
leave the old farm was the dying ad-
monition of one who had left his happy
farm home for the pleasures and other
allurements of city life. At his old
home his life had seemed dull and with
out interest. The daily humdrum of
details had bred dissatisfaction into his
surroundings. On his occasional visits
to the city he had seen the troops Of
we'll dressed fine looking fellows of his
own age who appeared to take life
easy without the expenditure of effort.
The elaborately dressed young women
on the streets seem prettier than the
girls at home. The music halls, the
theaters, the brilliantly lighted streets
and the moving throDg of people at:
tracted and made his farm surround
ings seem tame and repulsive. The
dangers lurking behind all the glitter,
the poison that tainted all the joy Of
strenuous town life he failed to see, or
possibly seeing may have thought him
self able to Withstand. 1t was the
same old story of a weak boy, strong in
his own conceit, drawn into the whirl-
pool of a false and frivolous life. The
same old details Of fast living, leading
to recklessness Of the EXTREMIST kind,
until finally, death by his own. hand.
This true stor5 carries its own moral.
but fortunately for us his dying act
was oneto commend him our warm
est sympathy. His last moments were
spent in penning the above for our
warning, "Don't leave the Old farm. z

Canada, Our Most Important Nei ighbor.

1t would also seem as if Mr.. Root
might lind important work for Amer
lean diplomacy in bringing about clos
er relations between ourselves and the
people Of the great northern half of
this continent. There are many rea-
soDs besides those that can be express
ed III dollars and cents why the ties be-
tween the United States and the Do
minion of Canada ought to be close
and sympathetic. The most colossal
blunder of American craftsmanship
was the failure of this country, years
ago, to acquire the great empty terri
tories lying north of the international
boundary line end the Great Lakes,
and west of what used to be Canada.
This vast region did not belong to
Canada any more than it belonged to
us; and it could have been acquired
from Great Britain for song when
we were nagging her about the Ala
bama claims. It is too late now to un
do that mistake. Nothing could be
further from the truth than the idea
that Canada will by some sort of inevi
table drift come finally into union with
the United States. The drift is all in
the other direction. Every year that
passes more firmly crYstalizes the in
dependent position of the Dominion.
There is only one possible means by
which the situation can be improved,
and that is through the reversal OF our
tariff policy and the adoption of the
principle of reciprocity, or, better still.

Council Last Night Accepts
Bid Of w. H. Roberts at
Good Premium.
APPLICATION FOR LIQUOR LII.
CENSE is GRANTED.
Protest to Granting of
License Had Been Made by
Property Owners.

The meeting of the city council
last night was one of the most
important held for months past,
and the council disposed of a
mum Der of matters of vital i'm
portance to the city.
The bonds of the city in the
amount of $4,000, which were
voted Dec. 20, were disposed of,
w. H. Roberts, cashier of the
First National bank in this city
being the successful bidder.
There were ten bids presented,
but only five companies furnished
certified checks to cover the
amount of their bids, and conse-
quently only five could be consid-
cred. The five bidders had per-
sonal representatives at the
meeting. Upon opening the bids
it was found that that of w. H.
Roberts was the highest. Mr..
Roberts offered premium of
1925 on the bonds, and also
agreed to furnish the blank
bonds, which entails an expendi-
ture Of about 500, which would
otherwise have been paid by the
city. His bid was unanimously
accepted. The bonds run 20
years and draw interest at five
per cent per annum, and will be
used in taking up all the out
standing indebtedness of the
city.

the change is made it will affect
all but one Great Northern train

railway officers have not as yet
been officially notified that a
change would be made, but they
also have heard that a new sched-
ule was contemplated by the com
pary. According to information
from good source, the proposed
schedule would change the time
Of train No. IA to arrive about
one hour earlier than at the
present time, and No. 10, the
west bound train, would arrive
about two hours earlier. The
night trains,> No. rs and No. 26,
would also be affected by the
change, but to what extent it is
impossible to determine. Devel-
opments will be eagerly looked
for, as the change in schedule

HOW SOLDIERS
ARE SECURED
General Outline Of Methods
Used in Recruiting Men
at Local Office.

The Bemidji recruiting station.
which was established in this
city on Dec. Is, 1903, has proved
to be one of the most successful
now maintained by the war de-
partment, and Bemidji is now
recognized as an ideal center
from which to secure desirable
men for service in the army. The
manner in which the recruits are
securedisi interesting to those who
contemplate joining the army, as
we'll as to many others. Follow
ing is a general outline Of the
procedure:
After having been thoroughly
informed Of the amount of pay
he may expect, the hardships at
tendant upon army life, as we'll
as the pleasure, if the prospective
recruit chooses to enlist he is
first put through a rigid physical
examination, tests Of his vision
and hearing being made. A
minute examination of the vital
organs is also made, and the
physician tests his heart and
lungs so as to ascertain if any
weakness exists. If the appli-
can't stands the examination as
to his physical qualities, he is
turned over to Sergeant Witte,
the officer in charge Of the sta
ton, who supplies him with cloth
ing from head to TO st, after which
he is required to sign the enlist
ment papers and stands ready
to be shipped to his regiment.
The local Office belongs to the
general class and recruits men
for every branch Of the service,
and the applicant is given his
choice.

City Council Can Take No
Action to Pay for Red
Lake Right Of Way.
SUBSCRIBERS MUST MAKE GOOD
THEIR PROMISES.
Property Holders of the City Will
Probably Be Asked TO
Come In

The members of the city coun-
Gil have positively decided that
they can in no legal manner make
any appropriation to pay for the
right of way Of the new Minnea-
polls, Red Lake & Manitoba rail
way, and it is very probable that
the business men Of the city who
signed all agreement with the
railway company that providing
the railway was. built through
Bemidji they would providefunds
with which to pay for the right
of way will be called upon to
furnish the amount opposite their
names on the agreement.
The attorneys who were ap-
pointed to devise some plan that
would enable the city council to
provide the money have exhaust
ed their efforts without finding a
legal way for. the appropriation
to be made by the council, and in
view of this fact it seems certain
that the property owners will be
called upon to "come in," unless
railway company decides to pur.
chase the right of way of their
own free will, which is very i'm
proba BILE.
The amount which will be nee
essary to buy the land for the
right Of way purposes and term
inals is about $4,000, and the
sums guaranteed by the several
business men who signed the
agreement range from $50 to
S1, 900.
