Cotton Letter.

We desire to make it plain to all
concerned that whom wo urge farmers
to hold their cotton off tho market
we arc talking to that class Of cotton
growers who are in position to do so.
In tho outset we urged every farmer
to arrange his dobts first, as best as
ho could, by storing his cotton or
otherwise, and koop all tho weak cot
ton of tho market. But now, since
Now York has combined to refuse
money to our southern banks to keep
this weak cotton off tho market, it
seoms that those cotton growers who
have placed themselves in such a
hazardous position Of growing cotton
exclusively with which to buy their
living, even down to thcir daily
broad, are in hard luck, and are like
ly to pay a heavy ponalty for not
growing their home supplies, AID
placing thcir financial destiny in the
hands of gang Of worthless gamb-
lels. Boys, como out from uador
these robbers and grow your own sup
plies.

men Who do this are to Il certain
(and very large) extent, robbers. Yes
for in great many instances they
are robbing their families of good
wholesome food, good clothing, and
taking the advantages Of good edu-
cation away from their children, and
taking away from his homo that JOY,
peace and happiness that should be
there. Poor fools "thoy know not
what they do.'
Say now, tho Ten Cont Man! You
have sold your 500 pound bale Of cot
ton at 10 cents. 1t brought you $4,000.
IT you had bcon man, had been
honest to your family, to these depen-
doat upon you, md kept that cotton
for Is cents, don't you think thai you
would be feeling better over tho mat
ter? 1t is doubtful for such rs you
arc devoid of feeling. IF you had
kept that cotton off tho market until
the Is cents mark was reached, it
would have brought You $500. Now
say, if you had kept that cotton at
homo and borrowed tho $4,000 and
paid 80 per cont FOR same, would you
havo lost anything9 or course you
could havo borrowed this 5000 at q
much less rate, but + am just giving

Thore is not man in tho whole

not glutted tho market at the very

would have brought IS cents and
more. There arc men in almost all
sections Of the country today who
are urging their renters TO sell at the

REGULAR MEETING OF
COUNCIL LAST EVENING
City "Dads" Took Action In Important
Matters That Were Brought Up
For Consideration

The most important action
taken by the city council at their
meeting last night, was the re-
fusal to approve the liquor license
bond of Naish McKinnon with
Chas. Nangle and II. r. Schmidt
as sureties.
Mayor Pogue appeared before
the council and objected to the
bond being approved, and the
license issued, stating that Nc.
Kinnon was an unfit and lmrrop-
er person to sell liquor, That
complaint had been made that
his place was resorted to- for
prostitution, and that he had
been convicted Oh this charge be-
fore q local justice.
McKinnon's 8 side of the story
IS that he is running his place as
orderly as the general run of
saloons, and he has appealed to
the district court from ths $75

gan this morning are Chief Cell,
Garry Brennan, E. H. Cornwall
and J. J. Doran, and they left
yesterday morning for ST. Cloud.
Bemidji is down for paper
on the topic, "Should the law
giving 10 of a mill for a pension
fund, enacted at the last session,
for cities of more than $4,000, be
extended to all cities in the
state?" and is as follows:
"Otficers and Members of the
State F'iremen's Association:
"The topic assigned to Bemid-
j, was, "Should the law giving
one-tenth mill for pention fund,
as enacted by the last legislature
applying to cities of $4,000 popu-
lation, be applied to all cities"?
We think that fremen in all
cities should derive the same
benefits as mem bers of paid de-
partments in cities of $4,000
population or over. AS there
are enrolled in the association of
this state between 5000 and 1000
volunteer fremen, and less than
1000 paid men; and the cities de-
irving the benefits from the one
tenth mill under the new law are
Duluth, 10000 population: St.
Paul, 100000 population, and
Minneapolis, 262,OOO population.
While there are a large num-

ing the same benefits to the fire.
men in cities of 5000 or over,
that the departments in the
larger cities have under the law.
A volunteer fireman is entitled
to all the benefits that a paid
member has, as his services are
voluntary and in most cases he
does not get just compensation
for his service. While on the
other hand the paid departments
are paid for their services by the
cities where they are employed,
so we suggest that the law in
regard to the pension fund
should be extended to all cities
in the state, with an organized
departmentand reliefassociation.
Respectfully submitted,

ment.

The Bemidji fire department
will make a strong bid for hold,
ing the meeting of the Minnesota
State Fire Department associ.
alton in Bemidji IN 1910.
The meeting for this year will
be held at St. Cloud Tuesday and
Wednesday of this week, and the
delegates from the Bemidji de.
partment will go to the thirty
fifth annual convention armed
with excellent inducements for
holding the 1910 meeting of the
fire laddies on the shores of Lake
Bemidji.
The Bemidji department will
put forth the name of Earl Cell,
chief of the local department, for
the Office of second vice presi-
dent of the State association,
which Office carries with it the
annual meeting Of 1910 for the
city from which the secana vice
president is chosen.
Mr.. Cell is at present a mem
Der of the executive committee of
state association, and is we'll
known to all the fire laddies who
have attended the state meetings
during the last ten years.
This city would be an ideal
place to hold a meeting of the
state fremen. At the time the
meeting is held, the first week in
June, there is every inducement
offered here for the full enjoy
ment of the occasion. Lake Be-
midi and her tributary lakes and
streams offer the best possible
opportunity for enjoying fishing,
boating and bathing, and camp
ing in the healthy pine-laden air.
The Bemidji delegates are author
lied to use every honorable
method to secure the meeting.
The Bemidji volunteer fire de.
partment is one of the most eff
cient in the state. It was Or
ganized in 1897 and now has a
mem bership of thirty eight.
During the last nine years, the
present chief, Earl Cell, has been
at the head of the department.
The relief association of the de-
partment has nice surplus of
about 81, 200 in it's treasury and
the department is in an excellent
condition, generally.

the speech delivered by Charles
W. Scrutchin, Bemidji's Colored
Attorney, at the exercises held
in this city Memorial day:
"Mr. Chairman, Ladies and
Gentlemen, Mem bers of the
Grand Army of the Republic.
'The beauty and sanctity OF
gatherings of this kind, instead
OF declining, rather increases
with the passing years.
''This occasion is not meant
only to commemorate those who
are gone, but to recall as well
the services of those who are
living. And if those of the Grand
Army who sleep beneath the sod
could thus assemble, they would
recognize that the republic has
not been ungrateful to her de.
tenders. She has been generous
to the dead and to the living.
This was your just due, You
and those who fought with you
did the greatest work which has
ever been wrought for the nation.
No tribute can exceed the meas
ure of your service. You shed
your blood and offered your lives
that your country might live.
Tn the hour of her greatest
peril you proffered and took the
risk of the greatest sacrifice on
her behalf that men can make.
This was the supreme duty of
American loyalty, and the su-
preme expression of American
patriotism.
Measured by the magnitude
of the task or the necessity of
the work, or the value Of the re-
suit, there is no other achieve
ment in our history which can be
compared with it.
'We have seen our country
grow to magnificent proportions;
we have seen it expand with an
unparalleled industrial develop
ment; we have seen our flag
gain new lustre on remote seas
and in distant lands. But be-
meath, and behind, and above all
these triumphs was the mighty
work which made and kept US
one nation. Gettysburg and
Vicksburg, in their respective
ways, marked the highest points
that the flood of the rebellion
reached, and from those days on
it subsided and receded to it's
normal channel, and while the
end of the war would have been
the same as it proved to be,yet
I make the assertion that had
Early captured Washington at
that time, the Confederacy would
have been recognized, the war
prolonged, thousands more
lives lost and millions of treasure
expended. Therefore the battle
at Fort Stevens marks one, il
not the most important periods
in the history Of the civil war,
land the Americans who fell and
gave their heroic lives for their
country and flag, are entitled to
eternal fame and glory.
