THE YOUNG RE1UHff0A1a.

In a business sense the young voters
who have come forward since 1904 have
more at stake than any other class II
rendering right decision. Their &C
tive lives are ahead. They have more
years to live, and are now laying the
foundations Of their business careers.
National policies and conditions are of
the highest consequence to them. Per-
haps they are farmers. II 20, let them
ask the older generation how farmers
Jared under the last Democratic admin
istration. Let them take the market
reports Of today and compare them
with the prices that prevailed when Mr..
Bryan made his crusade for free silver
and hurled defiance at President Cleve-
land because he stood by the gold
standard. At the same time Bryan do
nounced the Republican party for It's
protectionist as well a. sound money
position. Perhaps the first voter is to
engage in manufacturing or mining, as
wage-earner or otherwise. Does he
want his American rate Of wages and
the industry he chooses reasonably pro-
tected against foreign competitions IT
he does Mr.. Bryan's leadership Will
take him in the opposite direction

GROWTH OF WEALTH PER
CAPITA.

Doctrine that the Poor Are Growing
Poorer Shown to Be False.
(From the Los Angeles Times.)
In 1920 the savings banks of the
United States held $1,139,576. This
was a poor country then compared with
now. The amount was only an average
Of II cents for the population OF that
time. That amount Of average economy
was very small.
Now the people Of this country have
$3.50, 879,945 in savings banks. This
is an average for the whole population
Of this time of over $42> The actua,
depositors have an average Of $420 to
their credit. In 1920 only $685. per-
sons IN the country were rich enough to
have a savings bank account. Now
there are s,5ss,s11.
When James Buchanan, the last
Democratic President in a long line,
went into Office, there was about $780,
100000 in the savings banks of the
United States. BY 1870, after fighting
out the great war, the people, under
Republican rule for twenty years, lad
$3.50, 000, 600 in the savings banks. When
the next Democratic President took his
seat in 1883, the savings Of the people
had passed the billion point. BY 1898
the savings had doubled again.
So there it is. In 1920 there were
only about 5000 people rich enough to
have a savings bank account Now
there are over 100000. In 1920 the
savings were - cents per, capita now
they are over $42.
That the poor grow poorer and the
rich richer in this country is as true
Al any other Popul1stic notion.

BRYAN's SPACIOUS RECORD.
Judge Taft Points Out the Weak
Spots in the Nebraskan's Polit-
Zeal History.

Judge Taft Points Out tho Weak
teal History.
(From Taft's Cincinnati SPECIFY
"What is 1t that we have to expect
from Mr. Bryan? Have we anything
to expect but what he promises? Have
we anything to expect but what is
based upon his, eloquence and his
adroitness as public critic? Has he
ever given any practical demonstration
Of his ability to meet problems and
solve them? Has he ever done any
thing but formulate propositions in his
closet Of an utterly impracticable
plausibility, and very little with view
Of their operation? BY their fruits
we shall know them
with the record Of promises and
prophecies unfulflled for a period Of
twelve years; with this record of
hunt for an issue upon which to
achieve the presidency; with this rec
ord OF Reputation, Of negotiation and
Of running away from national respon-
sibllities, Mr.. Bryan comes forward
and asks that the people now give him
an opportunity to put into operation
new reforms in respect to trusts and
in respect to guaranty Of bank depos-
its, wholly untried, wholly theoretical,
and on their face bearing evidence of
their impracticability and of having
hr- f1o hroi oP
one looking for plausible arguments
rather than real reforms. He only in
a qualified way approved the postal
savings bank recommended by the Re-
publican platform, which is a tried
and proved means Of encouraging the
wage-earner and small farmer to make
deposits In a bank absolutely secure;
but much prefers a system which takes
a mans money to pay another mans
default, and which instead Of strength
ening our banking system will break it
down by destroying the value Of the
banking character and experience and
capital and by offering inducement to
reckless and speculative bankers with
cut character or capital.
1.-THE record Of Mr.. Bryan and his
character, as it is understood by
twelve years. acquaintance with him,
have impressed the business communi-
ty Of this country and those whose
judgment determines whether or not
capital shall be invested that he is not
a safe man with whom to try expert
ments in government; that he loves
financial theories that are full Of So
phistry and are impractical; that he
advances propositions with but little
sense Of respect as to how they may
be carried out in practice, and that he
gives but little attention to the well
fare Of the conservative business COM
munity in his suggestions Of reform.
Certainly his record justifies this judy
nent Of him by the business men. If
he was to be elected, unquestionably
because of his record, however much
now he may seek to pose as conserva-
tive-beeause Of his record, because Of
the failure Of the theory which he has
proposed for the last twelve years.
his election will mean a paralysis Of
business, and we should have a recur
renee Of the disastrous business con-
ditien Of the last Democratic adminis-
trstioa."

NINE MINERS FORCED

Water Company Compelled to
Shut Off Supply.

b / & go - b.
Pottsville, Pa, Oct. q The Girard
Water company has shut off the sup
ply Of water to nine anthracite col
lieries between Girardville and Shen-
andoah, compelling them to close
down completely FOR an indefinite
period in order that the present sup
ply may be kept for domestic pur-
poses in half dozen towns in that
region. The water supply for domes-
tic purposes has been cut to two hours
per day for some weeks because of
the drought; but the collieries were
given enough to keep them at work
full time until conditions so serious
that total exhaustion of the supply
was threatened. About $500 men and
boys are thus thrown out of work.

will soon number 100,0o0,00o And be-

labor, made so because Of good wages
and good living, we shall make better
fabrics and build stronger structures
that in spite Of their higher cost in the
beginning will be cheaper in the end
and will be wanted by the people in

shall capture the markets Of the world
in greater volume without ever sacri-

The CAUSE OF COLDS
Good Advice Regarding the Prevention
of Coughs and Colds.

If people would only properly
fortify and strengthen their system,
about go per cent of coughs, colds
and pneumonia might be avoided
These troubles are simply the result
of weakness, which produces a
catarrhal condition of the mucous
membrane, which is an internal skin
of the body. When the skin is weak
ened, it becomes infected with
germs which are carried through the
system by the blood. These para
sites attack and break these delicate
tissues and set up a soreness which
produce what is is reality an ex-
ternal scrofula.
The only thing that will cure
coughs and colds and prevent pneu-
monia is medication which is alb
sorbed and carried by the blood so
that the diseased membrane is disin-
fected, cleaned, soothed and healed.
We have remedy which we hon.
estly believe infallible and unsurpas-
sable for the prevention and cure of
coughs, colds and all catarrhal con-
ditions. It is the prescription of a
famous physician, who has an en-
viable reputation of 80 years of cures
gained through the use of this medi-
cine. we promise to either effect a
a cure in every case or make no
charge for the. medicine. We urge
everybody in Bemidji who has need
of such a medicine to try Rexall
Mucu-Tone. ~-.-- ~
It stands to reason that we could
not afford to make such statements
and give our own personal guarantee
to this remedy if we were not abso-
lutely positive that we could sub
tantiate our claim in every partic-
ulor, aad we see no reason why any,
one should hesitate to accept our
offer and try it. We have two sizes
of Rexall Mucu- Tone. Prices SOC.
and $1.00. Sometimes SOC. bottle
is sufficient for cure. AS general
thing the most chronic case is cured
with an average of three large
bottles. Remember, the medicine
will cost you nothing if you are not
satisfied in every particular. Barker's

sUBSCRlPTION-..s5.00 PER ANNUM
JUDGE STANTON SHOULD BE Reelected.

There is much more to consider
in the contest for the judgeship of
the Fifteenth Judicial district than
the mere fact as to whether either of
the candidates Judge c. w. STAN
ton and B. F. Wright is republi-
can or democrat, or is not very
active in the affairs of either party.
First of all, there is fitness for
the office. Judge Stanton has been
on the bench since the retirement of
ex.Judge Spooner. That he has
made good, no one can successfully
deny. He has presided in court in
every county in the district since he
assumed his seat on the bench; and
attorneys and others having bust
ness in court have been unanimous
in declaring that the judge has been
entirely fair and impartial in his
rulings and has shown that he
possesses judicial qualifications in the
highest degree.
Then there is the question of the
place of residence of the judge who
is associated with Judge McClena-
han. Bemidji is the proper place
for judicial chambers of the asso-
ciate of Judge McClenahan. The
latter is located at Brainerd, and Be-
midi is the most accessible point in
the district.
Judge Stanton lives in Bemidji,
and will continue to reside here, CIV
ing the chambers to this place.
His opponent lives at Park Rapids
and there is no doubt but that Mr..
Wright would be unable to give as
much of his time at the central point
in the district (Bemidji) as would
Judge Stanton. Mr.. Wright has
stated that he would give as much
time as necessary to Bemidji; but
Park Rapids is not very accessible
to those desiring an audience with
the Judge, from other parts of the
district.
We doubt if the people of the
Fifteenth Judicial district will
elect man as judge, whose quail
fcations are yet to be proven, over
one who has made good in every
sense of the word. And, what is
more to the point, the judicial cham
bers should be in Bemidji.
Voters should carefully consider
these questions relative to the judge
ship before casting their ballot for
the straight ticket" regardless of
conditions.
