'What the world wants." re-
marked wise man the other day
when the subject of religion was
under dicussion, sis religion that
can swim, skate, play ball, row a
boat, laugh and enjoy life in
every bright and wholesome way.
We have made religion oppressive
Oppressive and rarely expressive,
of any feelings but painful serious
ness. Our religion lacks rich
blood, tense, vigorous muscles,
strong, regular pulse. Why not tell
the young folks of our churches
and Sunday schools that religion
brlghtens the eye, lightens the
heart and brings to life its richest
enjoyment? What we need is not
a religion for the cemetery but for
the office, the store, the shop, the
school, the farm and the house.
Tombstone piety is impressive in
the moonlight, but sunlight means
health, happiness, long life, sue
cess and contentment. "-Osakis

PRACTICAL SCHOOL PRIZES.

It long has been the custom in
many schools to mark graduation
day by the bestowing of books,
medals and other prizes momentarily
dear to the recipients but lacking in
lasting value. The Hebrew Tech
nical School for Girls in New York
City has hit upon a better plan.
At the closing of a term in that
institution recently the best among
the pupils were called to the stage
before a throng of admiring or
envious parents or fellow pupils and
presented with bank books, repre-
senting deposits in a neighboring
saving institution. One girl who
had neither been absent nor tardy
during the years she attended the
school was presented with a SIS
savings account. She had earned it,
for one snowy morning when the
cars were blocked she had risen
early enough to walk the thirty
blocks to school and arrive on time"
How much more practical and
better every way for children who
have to make their own way in the
world, and indeed for all children,
are such prizes as these bank books.
They teach the lesson which is hard
est to learn, economy. In these
spendthrift days it is to be regretted
that more schools do not adopt the
plan of this New York institution.

BRYAN MEN MAY FIGHT.
Seek Instructed Delegation From New
York State.

New York, April 1 THAT the Dem.
Ocratic state convention will vote to
send an uninstructed delegation to the
national convention at Denver in July
is probable. The followers of William
j. Bryan are planning to upset the Or
ganization programme if possible by
the introduction of resolution en-
dorsing Bryan and while it is not ex-
pected that they will be successful
their action may precipitate a lively
fight on the floor Of the convention.
Chairman William J. Connors states
that it is unlikely that the convention
will adopt a platform, leaving that to
the national convention. A state con-
vention without a platform would be
a unique departure from customary
procedure.
The state committee already has
gone on record as opposed to an in
structed delegation and the organiza,
ton is expected to have it's own way
regardless of the Bryan element in
the convention.

We MUST DRINK PLENTY
OF GOOD PURE WATER
Natures Great Remedy and Valuable
Prescription Anyone Can
Prepare.

The people here do not drink
enough water to keep healthy" ex-
claimed a well-known authority.
The numerous cases of stomach
trouble, kidney and bladder diseases
and rheumatism are mainly due to
the fact that the drinking of water,
natures greatest medicine, has been
neglected.
Stop loading your system with
patent medicines and cure-alls; but
get on the water wagon. If you
are really sick, why, of course, take
the proper medicine plain common
vegetable treatment, which will not
shatter the nerves or ruin the
stomach.
When requested for such pre-
scription for the cure of rheumatism
and kidney trouble the answer was;
you must make the kidneys do
their work; they are the filters of
the blood. They must be made to
strain out of the. blood the waste
matter and acids that cause rheu-
matism; the urine must be neu-
tralized so it will no longer be a
source of irritation to the bladder,
ard, most of all, you must keep
these acids from forming in the
stomach. This is the cause of stom-
ach trouble and poor digestion.
For these conditions | would sug-
gest the following prescription:
Fluid Extract. Dandelion, one-half
ounce; Compound Kargon, one
ounce; compound Syrup sarsaparilla,
three ounces. Mix by shaking we'll
in bottle and take in teaspoonful
doses after each meal and again at
bedtime, but don't forget the water.
Drink plenty and often.
This valuable information and
simple prescription should be posted
up in every household and used at
the first attack Of rheumatism,
backache Or urinary trouble, no mat
ter how slight.

The RAINY RIVER BILL IS
VETOED BY PRESIDENT
Continued from First Page

Continued from First Page
inasmuch as the government is
spending. vast sums of money for
improving the waterways of the
country it should receive adequate
compensation for the water power
which may be established on these
streams or, at all events, should con-
troll the policy of granting the use of
water power.
The Rainy river bill, which was
introduced by Congressman Bede,
simply extended the time for the
commencement of work on the big
dam, which was to make Inter.
national Falls the most important
place in Northern Minnesota, and
fixed the time for its completion.
The bill provides that the Rainy
River Improvement company, a
corporation organized under the laws
of Minnesota as successor to the
rights. and privileges heretofore
granted to the Koochiching COM
pany, under acts of congress en-
titled, an act permitting the build
ing of dam across Rainy river"
approved May 4, 1898, and of chap
ter 1877, of volume 80, statutes at
large entitled, an act relating to a
dam across Rainy river" approved
Feb. rs, 1905, and of various acts
and provisions therein recited, is
hereby authorized to construct and
maintain a dam across the Rainy
river in Minnesota, at place desig-
mated in said acts, subject to pro-
visions of the act entitled, an act
to regulate the construction OF
dams across navigable waters,''
approved June Fl, 1906, so far as
the same shall be applicable thereto
provided said dam shall be com
menCed within one year from
the date of the passage of this
act and completed on or before Tuly
l, 1911.
The presidents veto message is
long and alludes to the fact that the
bill does not protect the government
in any way while it gives the com.
pany unlimited control of a great
water power. For several years
Canada objected to the bill inasmuch
as it affected the town of Fort Fran.
ces across the Rainy river from Inter.
national Falls and there were objec.
tons from land owners who claimed
their land would be overlooked.
The Backus-Brooks company OF
Minnesota was backing the Inter
national Falls proposition.
I BIO not believe" said the presi-
dent in his message, that natural
resources should be granted and held
in an undeveloped condition either
for speculative or other reasons. So
far as am aware there are no
assurances that the grantees Gin this
case) are in any better condition
promptly and properly to utilize this
opportunity than they were at the
time of the original act, granting
the privilege, ten years ago."
Discussing broadly the federal
policy, the president says: Every
permit to construct a dam on
navigable stream should specific
ally recognize the right of the gov
eminent to fix a term for it's dura-
ton and to impose such charge or
charges as may be deemed neces-
sary to protect the present and
future interests of the United
States in accordance with the act
Of June Fl, 1906.
The provision for charge is of
vital Importance. The navigability

all connected or connectable inland
waterways as a whole should be
improved for the purposes of inter-
state and foreign commerce upon
a consistent and unified plan by
which each part should be made
to help every other part.
The income derivable from this
source would naturally aid in the
complete Improvement of our
nayigable waters for which there
is now such. crying need, The
chief of engineers of the army
reports that the bills now pending
at this session of congress permit
the construction OF dams in
navigable streams capable of
developing over 100000 horse
power. These rivers run every
hour of the day and every day in
the year. To develop this amount
of power would, under average
conditions, require about 25,ooo,-
900 tons of medium quality coal
every year. This natural wealth is
the heritage of the people. | see
no reason for giving it away,
though there is every reason for not
imposing conditions SO burden,
some as to prevent the utilization
of the power.
The present policy pursued in
making these grants is unwise in
giving away the property of the
people in the flowing waters to in
dividuals or organizations practi-
cally unknown, and granting in per-
petuity these valuable privileges in
advance of the formation of definite
plans as to their use. In some cases
the grantees apparently have little
or no financial or other ability to
utilize the gift and have sought it
merely because it could be had for
the asking.
In place of the present haphaz-
ard policy of permanently alienat-
ing valuable public property we
should substitute a definite policy
along the following lines:
First there should be a limited
or carefully guarded grant in the
nature of an option or opportunity
afforded within reasonable time for
development of plans and for execu-
ton of the project,
Second, such a grant or conces-
sion should be accompanied in the
act making the grant by a provision
making it the duty of the designated
official to annul the grant if the
work is not begun or plans are not
carried out in accordance with the
authority granted.
Third, it should also be the
duty of some DESIGNATED official to
see to it that in approving the
plans and maximum development of
the mitigation and power is assured
or at least in making the plans
these may not be so developed as
ultimately to interfere with the
better utilization of the water or
complete development of the power.
Fourth, there should be a license
fee or charge which, though small
or nominal at the outset, can in the
future be adjusted so as to secure
a control in the interest of the pub
lie.
Fifth, provision should be made
for the termination of the grant or
privilege at definite time, leaving
to future generations the power or
authority to renew or extend the
concession in accordance with the
conditions which may prevail at
that time.
