MENTIONED AS CANDIDATE
FOR VICE PRESIDENCY
Considerable Talk Throughout the State
Favorable to Senator CIapp tor
Republican Nomiation.

There is considerable earnest talk
around the state of pushing Mime
sota's claim to place on the National
ticket and it is believed in manv
quarters that if this state will 90
after the vice presidency there is a
good prospect of winning it.
The Mississippi Valley and the
great country to the west would
seem to be in line for recognition
from the national convention, but it
will not do to have merely passive
candidate for the place; there must
be aggressive work all along the line
if such movement is to succeed.
Much comment favorable tc
Senator Moses E. Clapp as Mime.
sota's candidate for vice-president
may be heard all over the state and
it is not at all impossible that a
definite movement, looking to an
aggressive candidacy, may be inau
guarated by the Republican party Of
the state, with Senator Clapp as the
central figure. Such campaign, il
in the right hands, would make the
popular senator a formidable factor
in the race, with excellent chances
of securing the position.

This company has some $4,000
acres of timber land in that vicinity,
upon which Mr.. Preble will estimate
the timber and prepare for the

The company will establish small

their pine into squared timber, after
which it can be shipped to their

WATCHFUL EYE SHOULD
Be KEPT FOR R0BBER|ES
This Is the Season When the Knight of
the Jimmy, With Explosives,
...-. Is Abroad.

During the past week, several
bold robberies have been committed
in the country west of Bemidji, in
North Dakota, in each instance the
methods pursued by the robbers
indicating that a gang of profess
sional safeblowers are again operat-
ing in the northern tier of states.
Last year, bunch of bad actors''
robbed safes at Crookston, Akeley,
Mentor and several other towns but
a short distance from Bemidji, but
the thieves "steered clear" of this
city, as a close watch was kept by
the police, and every suspicious look
ing ch aracter was "hunched" out of
town on double-time orders.
While the Pioneer does not de-
sire to create fear in the hearts of
our citizens, a word of warning may
not be out of place, relative to the
possibility of a visit from the "yegg-
men,"
Bemidji is admirably situated as
place of rendezvous for operations of
men who intend to commit robberies
in the north half of the state. This
city is the division point of rail-
ways running north, south, east and
west,and any point could be reached
from here.
The plans adopted by men who
are safe-blowers and hold-up artists"
are such that they could quite easily
be carried out here, unless extra
vigilence is exercised by the police
and citizens generally.
1t would be we'll for all the citi-
zens to carefully guard their valu-
ables, and to leave no money of any
large amount lying around for
covetous individuals to get hold of,
via the robbery route.

legged COW appears to be the leader
of the herd and evidently has hypno.
tised Dooley's COW, which readily
consents to the young calf partaking
of her creamy milk after draining
the contents of it's mothers -udder
Dooley, of course, considers it hugh

Paris, Sept IA most important

aspect Of the Moroccan question, a
change which may have a farreaching
effect On the future Of Morocco and
the relations of the powers thereto.
France and Spain have the intention
to occupy the littoral potts of Morocco
with their own forces and establish

plated action results from the official
announcement of the Moroccan gov,
ernment, through the war minister
Ell Gabbas. that it is unable to guar.

PEELED to organize the internationa,

natOry powers, including the United
States, and they all agreed that the
situation demanded that France and
Spain police Morocco themselves. AL
though it is distinctly stipulated that
such occupation is merely provisional
or until it Is safe to recruit the police
from among the Moors, there is a
strong feeling that the absolute an.
archy reigning in Morocco means that
this occupation Of the ports may be

or the ports may cause serious COM

possibility which may compel an en-.

culminate in virtual military control
OF the Moroccan empire. This, how
ever, will depend on the attitude of
the Moors.

.PASTEUR INSTITUTE IS
READY FOR PATIENTS
Those Suffering From Dog Bites Can
Be Treated at New State
Institute.

Pasteur treatment for prevention
of rabies is available now to resi-
dents of Minnesota without charge.
The state Pasteur institute for which
the last legislature provided an
appropriation of $4,000, has been in
operation for week, and now has
six patients under treatment. Two
of the patients are small children
whose home is in Minneapolis and
who were bitten Monday by fox
terrier that was killed on Franklin
avenue near the Milwaukee tracks,.
The other four are from different
parts of the state. -.
For the sake of the greatest con-
venience to patients, the institute
has been established in connection
with the state archaeological labora-
tory in the handsome new building
at the University of Minnesota,
known as the Institute of Public
Health and Pathology.
DR.. Ora Mcdaniel, a young
woman who has been in the state
laboratory for several years and has
made special study of rabies and
its treatment, is in charge of the
institute and will give her entire
attention to it's work.
The institute began it's work last
Friday, when three patients from
out of town were enrolled for treat
ment, but long before that the
officers of the state board of health
received applications from persons
who had heard of the plans of the
board and supposed that the insti-
tute was in operation. AS early as
June 21st a man who had been bitten
by a rabie dog arrived in Minnea-
polls, after having travelled from
Mandan, N. D., but it was then
impossible to treat him here.
The pasteur treatment in itself
does not involve hospital care, and
as practiced at the Minnesota state
institute it does not include any
thing of the kind. Itconsists simply
of inoculation every day for two
weeks with the virus and unless
the patient is so disabled by his
wounds as to be unable to move
about, he is expected to go to the
institute for treatment. The neces-
sity for daily incubation of each
patient will make it necessary for
DR.. Mcdaniel to be at the institute
every day of the week including
Sunday. The Virus for use in the
Minnesota institute is prepared in
it's own labratory and therefore it
will be independent of any outside
source of supply. - Minneapolis

HARRY CALVERT SPINS
A FEW CHUNKS POETRY
Clever Bit of Verse on ''Who Invented
Work?.-.Appropriated by
the Pioneer.

Harry Calvert is said to be respon-
sible for the following piece of verse,
anent work."
We will not vouch for the author
ship of the poem, but Harry would
probably stand for it:
WHO INVENTED WORK"
When did it begin?
Was it Adams sin?
Did it cause the row .twixt Cain and Abel?
Noah. Ham or Shem-
Was it made by them?
Or was it first thought about at Babelf
Carrying hod.
Digging up the sod.
Pounding on an anvil till it's dented-
Who Of all the mob
First was on the job?
When and where and how was work invented?
I often wonder who it was that thought about
it irst
Who figured out this industry that most of us
have cursed
Was it a Dutchman, was it Greek.
Was it Malay. or Jap mild and meek?
Was 1t an Englishman, Irishman or Turk?
Who was the man that first invented work?
Shovel. pick and skid
Built each pyramid
In the ages long ago forgotten:
Tubal Cain was young
When the bell was rung
For the slaves to hustle picking cotton;
In the early days
All the folk could gaze
At the scenery at ease-don't doubt il;
But this thing of work
Gives our minds jerk
What man was the first that thought about it?
l wonder who he was and where g lived,
what was his name?
It's nice to know that he has not come down
to us In fame.
Was he Persian, was he Mede?
Was he Vandal. Goth or a Swede?
Was he an Englishman. Irishman or Turk?
Who was the man who irst invented work?
When the whistle blows
LabOr's army goes
Here and there and everywhere to hustle
Pounding with pick,
Laying stone and brick,
All of them forever in q hustle.
Each would like to quit
whats the use of it?''
Each has asked the while his muscles smarted
Who. then. is to blame?
What could be his name?
Who was it that saw labor started?
No doubt he thought that he was great and
spent his strength and breath
In holding down his little job. and worked
himself to death.
Was he Hittite. was he from Nod?
Was he Zulu, or man from Cape Cod?
Was he q Hottentot. Thibetan or Turk?
Who was the man who first invented work2
