disability that even states will, in

AS to population, it is true that
there are more populous states than
Minnesota, but there are none with
a higher average of citizenship and
intelligence. not even Massachusetts.
Fifty years ago Massachusetts, was
sixth in population among the sister
hood, and now it has sunk to seventh;
fifty years ago Minnesota was thirty
sixth, and now it has risen to nine
teenth. Fifty years hence at this
rate Minnesota and Massachusetts,
may have changed places.
If the Republican will look at the
Statistical Abstract of the United
States it will find more interesting
intelligence that it does not possess.
It will find that this states wealth
was estimated in 1905 at $685.
722,O75, while Massachusetts,, with
it's greater age and population, was
worth $4,955,578,913. Per capita,
this is 1909 in Minnesota and only
$1,766 in Massachusetts,. At the
same time, Massachusetts, was in

sofa only SPOT per capita.
In that year too, the value of

FIREBUGS TRY TO KINDLE
ELLIS BLOCK, CASS LAKE
But for Timely Action of Those Who Discovered Fire
Building Would Have Burned.-lnflamable Material
Had Been Left in Room

Cass Lake, March 20.-(Special
to Pioneer. For the fifth time
since the building was erected, some
six years ago, frebugs, at an early
hour this morning, attempted to
burn the Ellis block in this village,
owned jointly by Clavin & Tanner
of Bemidji and Sam Ellis of Black
duck; and but for the prompt action
of several citizens the building would
undoubtedly have done up in flames.
AT 2:30 this morning, man who
was passing the Ellis block, noticed
fire burning through hole in the
east side of the building. He at
once gave the alarm and with two
or three assistants forced an entrance
to the lower floor of the building.
The fire was quickly extinguished.

The Springfield, Mass. Republi-
can speaks somewhat slightingly of
the presumption of Minnesota, a
state 50 far removed from the cul-
ture and learning and narrowness
of New England, in having a
presidential candidate, says the Du-
luth Harald.
1t speaks of Governor Johnson
as twice elected governor of state
that does not rank very high in
population, wealth and the diversity
and completely of its social and
administrative problems," as much
as to say that state that shines
so dimly when the refulgence of
Massachusetts, is emblazoning the
armament has a lot of nerve to be
trotting out a presidential candi-
date.
1t is very clear that it is neces-
sary to remind the Republican that
there is a good deal of the United
states outside of New England, and
even west of the Alleghanies. Min
nesota need not fear to compare
itself with Massachusetts at any
time or in any contest. 1t is
younger of course, and that is it's
chief offense; however, youth is a

TO Be INSTITUTED HERE.
Grand Chief Patriarch Whittimore of

An I. O. o. F. encampment will
be instituted in this city next We'd.
nesday evening, when Grand Chief
Patriarch Whittmore of Detroit will
be present and ofhciate as the officer
in charge of the installing of the

: There are many Odd Fellows in
Bemidji and vicinity and this city
boasts of a strong Odd Fellow lodge
with 10 members, and a Rebekah
lodge of $50 members, the Odd Eel
low lodge being in splendid condi-
tion>fnancially and owning its own
real estate and hall; and the Rebekahs
being the best drilled team in North
ern Minnesota, according to Miss
Rose Whiting of Minneapolis, presi-
dent of the state association of
Rebekahs.
The proposition of starting the
new encampment here has been dis
cussed for some time among local
Odd Fellows and they finally de-
cided to put in an encampment.
1t is the intention to have the de.
gree teams from the Tenstrike and
Bagley lodge to assist Grand Chief
Patriarch Whittimore to install the
lodge.
Already there have been 80 ap-
plications made for membership in
the encampment and it is expected
that there will be many more before
Wednesday evening.
The members of the Rebekah
lodge will serve supper during the
night that the camp will be in
stalled.

bored in each of the three partitions
in the east half of the lower floor
and that cotton batten, we'll satur-
ated with turpentine, had been placed
in the holes.
Considerable indignation is felt
here at the apparently well-founded
surmise that there is frebug in
Cass Lake.
The Ellis block was unoccupied,
with the exception that Arthur
Arndt and Ray Phelps had sleep
ing room in the second story.
There was abolutely no clue
whatever as to who made the at
tempt to burn the building as no
one was seen to enter or leave the
building, after an early hour in the
evening.

The HocuS PocuS Money Book

Published in 1904 showed that existing condi-
tions made commercial panic in the near
future inevitable-and why? Its 200 pages are
filled with incontrOvertible economic principles
and astonishing facts, sustained by figures from
the u. S. Comptrollers Reports, and bank or
gans, proving that the deposit banking system
as it has been managed in the past-is the
real cause OF every commercial panic ever
known, and most of the periods of business de-
preston that have afflicted this country. And,
what is still more important It shows how their
recurrence can be made impossible and the de-
nand for services and products made to always
equal the suppy-without wronging any one or
costing the people dollar. Book sellers and
news dealers not afford to antagonize the

WASHINGTON LETTER
MATTERS OF GENERAL INTER-
EST FROM THE CAPITAL

This has been a lively week in
Washington and many things Of
importance have happened IN the
national legislature which Ia now
looking ward to an early ai-
journmens and is passing inn
portant measures With the usual
haste which attends the last weeks
of a session. The President sent
to Congress an urgent message
recommending that provision be
made for four first class battleships
pointing out that the complete
failure of all steps toward an
agreement to limit naval arrange
msuts at the Hague and the elab-
crate building programme OF
Germany and other foreign ma
tions rendered it imperative not as
a war measure but for perserva-
tion of peace, that the United States
maintain its navy, in point of size
and efficiency on d par with those
OF other nations. When this phase
of the naval bill was reached in
the House lively contest ensued,
Representative Tawney Of Min
nesota leading the fight against
the Presidents program and Rep
resentative Hobson of Alabama
making the fight for the four shi p
proposition. By an overwhelm-
ing majority the House refused to
accede TO the Presidents reco-
lamentations. Mr.. Tawney then
ught to amend the bill to pro-
vide for only one battleship but
this was defeated by an even larg-
er majority than the Hobson
amendment. Finally the House
passed the bill as reported from
the committee with provision for
two battleships of the first class.
