The opening day of Bemidji's
big carnival was most auspicious.
The weather was all that could
be desired, although trihe too
warm.
Not much of a crowd was ex-
pected today from outside towns.
but the country folks began to
arrive in the city early in the
forenoon and by 10 o'clock the
streets were lined with people,
eager to visit all the shows and
see all that was worth while.
The tents had all been put up
and the city presented a holiday
appearance.
The steep inclined track for
the leap.the gap act was erected
almost in front of the Pioneer,
and at 1870 the crowd followed
the carnival band to that point.

If we are so advised by our attorney,

There were three Of them, 1t seems,
and they are in a pretty bad mess.
One, for instance, prohibits the selling
or Offering for sale Of partridges for
the space Of five years from the twen-
tieth day Of February, 1912" This act
was approved February 81; but it is

THERE seems to be no longer any
doubt of the fact that there is we'll
defined purpose on the part Of the ad-
ministration at Washington to enter
upon a military campaign against Chi
ma as soon as a satisfactory occasion
arises of its own accord, or can be
created. There have been intimations
Of the kind for some time; but the Sit
uation indicated was so out of toiIt
with the records and traditions Of this
government as to suggest that there
was nothing behind it more serious
than what is known as yellow jour-
nalism." The matter, however, is now
being openly discussed in congress, and
in such a way as to leave no doubt
that 1t is really the purpose Of at least
the secretary of war TO launch a cam
paign. There came up in the senate
last Tuesday a bill providing for the
abolition of what is known as the
contract surgeon" system in the army,
and the reorganization Of the medical
department on a basis that will In
clude official commissions for all ply
sicians and surgeons. AS matters now
stand, only a limited number OF medi-
cal commissions are provided for, and
extra men are employed by contract,
under a system of examination and ap-
pointment. The pending bill is calcu-
lated to make definite provision for the
increase Of the medical corps to what
ever proportions may be demanded by
a larger army under conditions OF
peace or war Opposing the bill We'd
nesday, Mr.. Hale said that the general
staff is making arrangements for the
invasion of China; but expressed the
conviction that because of the level
headed conservatism of the secretary
of state, there was nc immediate dan
ger of such a development. Senator
Tillman suggested that If the reluct-
ance of the secretary Of state was the
only obstacle to such a development;
conditions were not so assuring as the
Maine senator seemed to believe.
Further on, replying to a question from
Senator Tillman, Senator Hale made
the assertion that several thousand SOL
diers had been sent to the Philippines
and he made no hesitation in express
ilg the belief that they were sent with
reference to contemplated operations
against China. 1t is quite difficult to
understand how the administration can
justify itself in such conduct without
previous authority from congress; but
then 1t must not be forgotten that tn,
present administration has long since
demonstrated a disposition for doing
pretty much as it pleases.

PURCHASES HELD UP.
Board Demands Even Start and a
Fair Deal.

The new board of dispensary di-
rectors, consisting of Messrs. j. M.
Rawlinson. chairman, John Black,
and Joseph B. Wylie, went into office
last Tuesday: but did nothing beyond
the adoption of very interesting
set of resolutions which. among other
things, show that the old board has
done so much future buying as to
leave the new board very little to do
unless some old orders can be coun-
termanded. The resolutions are as
follows:
There appearing that there has
been a very large stock of goods ship
ped TO the state dispensary, to the
amount of several hundred thousand
dollars, of high priced goods, there
being no sufficient storage room for
same thus exposing d large amount
Of such goods TO the weather-goods
that there is very little sale for and
that would probably take years to
dispose of at the price-and it ap-
bearing that there is no legal record
of the purchase, or that same was
not ordered shipped in accordance
with law the clerk Is hereby in
structed to notify the members of the
old board, Messrs. Evans, Boykin and
Towill. that we. in entering upon the
duties of this office, do protest against
locking up in said high priced goods
so much money Of the state.
