No Amount Of Hot Air. from Opsah Allen Will Remove
Doubt to 0psahrs Eligibility to Serve if Elected.
Read What the Constitution Says.

- The ignorance of this law on the
part of Opsahl, "Old Allen" ct al,
is on par with their idea that an
opinion from human attorney gen.
eral can change the provisions of
the Constitution of the State of
Minnesota.
OpsahPs neglect to sign the circu-
lar Gin the open, Ikea man. is in
keeping with his character in throw
ing mud from ambush. He dares
not come out in the open; and know
ing that defeat is staring him in
the face, he is desperate, and is
swapping and snarling at everyone
and everything that he comes
across.
And the desperate efforts of
"Double.cross" Allen will avail Op-
sahl nothing-he's a ''goner::''
At the request of J. J. Opsahl,
made through his representative,
John l.. Brown, we herewith print an
opinion given by attorney General
Young, wherein that gentleman gives
an opinion as follows concerning the
question as to the eligibility of a
member of the last legislature to
serve in the next legislature:
"Bemidji. Sept. 10, 1908.
E. T. Young, Attorney General,
St. Paul, MINI.
Does chapter 229, laws nineteen
seven: disqualify representative who
voted for increase in salary from
serving in next legislature under
constitution, article 4, section 9.
Answer quick.
J. J. Opsahi, Bemidji, Mimi"
The following answer was received
from Mr.. Young this afternoon:
st. Paul, MINI.
J. J.. Opsahl, Bemidji.
Passage of salary law did not in
my opinion make any member of the
legislature ineligible to reelection.
E. T. Young, Atty. Gen."

urday contained the following
concerning E. T. Young's opin-
ion that the increasing OF salaries
would not make a member
of the last Legislature ineligible
until one year after expiration of
office, and that the statement
would indicate that the attorney
general is alone in that opioion;
and that attorneys Of repute
agree that members of the legis-
lature of two years ago are not
eligible to serve until one year
after January l, 1909:
'Local attorneys who have read
E. T. Young's ruling, which is to
the effect that mem bers uf the
last legislature which increased
the salary of representatives from
$3.50 to $1,000 per term are eli
gible to reelection despite the
state constitution, which says no,
and are of the opinion that should
Holton and Saugstad be nomi-
mated and elected, Polk county
would be without any represent
atiVeS.
''They hold that the section
of the constitution quoted by
Young, applies specially to mem
bers of the legislature to prevent
them from reaping the benefit of
voting themselves big salaries."'
At any rate. there is a serious
doubt cast over Mr.. Opsahrs ell
glbility, and voters should cast
their ballots for Henry FunkIey,
against whose eligibility there is
no doubt.

each team winning a contest.
All the old players will be back in
the game and with several new can.
didates the team will certainly be
more powerful than ever.
Harry Cell, captain of the big
Bemidg" team this year, has been
quite prominent in athletic circles
in Northern Minnesota. He has
followed athletics during the last
ten years as a recreation and not as
a business.
For seven years Harry was a
leading member of the running team
of the Bemidji Fire dep artment, and
was lead man on the rope of the
team which won the championship
of the association five times during
the seven years.
He represented the Bemidji de-
partment in all foot races and never
failed to get a place in the finals.
When r. H. Schumacher made the
record of the association for 100
yards Go is seconds) Mr.. Cell
was a close second, being defeated
by less than three inches.
While he was a student at the
University of Minnesota, Mr.. Cell
was prominent among the runners
for the U, winning two gold medals
for the excellence of his work. He
was captain of the Sophomore track
team, which later turned out some
strong men, such as Bedford, the
half-miler; Tierny, Malmgren and
Morteson, the quarter-milers, and
Stub and Woodrick, crack hardlers.
Cell was also first substitute on the
Varsity quarter-mile relay team.
At the big Relay Carnival" held
by the University in the spring of
'O5, Cell landed second place in the
quarter mile dash, from a field of
the best men at the IT," beating
such men as Morteson, Murphy,
Tierny and Hunter.
His last race was at Camp Lake.

The articles published in the
Bemidji Daily Pioneer relative to
the eligibility of J. J. Opsahl to
serve as a member of the next legis-
lature have created a fury in the
breast of the man who is fast losing
his reason and attributes as a gentle
man because he reads defeat in the
signs-the Hon. ]. J. Opsah).
Yesterday, in direct violation of
law, he had printed and circulated
damning screed calling the Pioneer
black-hearted because we had the
moral courage to question his eligi-
bility to serve in the next legislature,
in which matter of doubt the con-
stitution of the state of Minnesota
Enthusiastically says, in substance,

Popular Young Athlete Elected Captain of the Basketball
Squad Which Expects to Again Win the Champion.
ship If Northern Minnesota

Harry Cell, one Of the most popu-
lar young athletics in the city, will
captain the big Bemidg" basket
ball team during the season of
10000, he having been selected as
leader at a recent meeting of the
members of the team.
The selection met with general
approval among the basketball boys,
in fact his choice for the position
has been made unanimous.
From present indications, the
Big Bemidg" team of this year will
be stronger than the championship
organization the boys had through
out last year.
While the local basketball five
have been strictly an amateur organ
ization, and it is the intention of
the boys to maintain their amateur
standing. They have received an
offer from a player living at Lime
Creek, Mimi, who desires to become
a member of the Big Bemidg" five
and, Judging from the re recommended
tons which he forwards to Mana
ger Heffron, he is cracker jack"
He claims to have played on the
champion collegiate teams of North
and South Dakota and has also
played on some very fast fves in
Minnesota and Wisconsin.
1t is more than likely that some
situation will be found in this city
for this man and he will be given q
chance to try for a place on the
team.
Among the games which Manager
Hebron has already arranged are
contests with the U. of Minnesota
basketball five and also the strong
team of the St. Paul Y. M. C.. A.
The Big Bemidg' team is we'll

proves of the local boys having gone
abroad in the land last winter when
they were playing such an excellent

Mr.. Sissons was especially popu-

a very large acquaintance through

odd Allen is hollering around
that the Pioneer "lied"in printing
the statement which raises the ques-
ton as to the eligibility of Opsahl
to serve in the next legislature, if he
is elected. The old gentleman is
hot-air linguist, and he knows the
Pioneer quoted the truth, as to the
wording of the constitution of the
state. And no sane man would vote
for a man whose seat in the legisla-
ture is liable to be contested. A
vote for Henry Funkley is a vote
for Beltrami county representa-
tive in the legislature. If Opsahl
was in earnest in his declaration
to serve his people" he-would retire
from the race and give this county
certainty as to representation in
the legislature this winter. The
opinion of Attorney General Young,
which Opsahl and "Old Allen" quote
so readily, is simply an OPINION
of man who has made many mis-
takes of a legal nature since being
in Office; and his opinion is not con-
cured in by the majority of lawyers
throughout the state. There is at
least an element of doubt which
could be taken advantage of and
Opsahl's seat be contested until the
next session was over, thereby de-
priving this district of the service of
representative.

FINISH OF MARATHON RACE.
Conan DoyIe's View Of Hayes Great
Run and Dorando's Tragic Fate.


Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the novel
list, In describing the scene in the
stadium at the finish of the great
Marathon race in the Olympic games
in London said:
ST think in that great assembly not
any man would have wished to see
victory torn at the last instant from
the plucky little Italian, DorandO.
Thank God he is on his feet again,
the little red legs going incoherently,
but drumming, hard driven by the su-
preme will within. There is a groan
as he falls again, cheer as he re-
staggerS to his feet. 1t is horrible,
yet fascinating. this struggle between
set purpose and an utterly exhaust
ed frame. Surely he is done now.
He cannot rise again. From under
the archway has darted second run
ner, Hayes. the stars and stripes on
his breast, going calamity and we'll
within his strength. There is only
twenty yards-if the Italian can do it.
He staggeys up. no trace of intelli-
gence upon his set face, and again the
red legs break into their strange auto
matte amble Will he fall again? No,
he says, and balances. Then he is
through the tape into a score Of
friendly arms. He has gone to the
extreme Of human endurance. No 20
man ever bore himself better The
great breed is not yet extinct"
Then, after a tribute to the Ameri-
cans on their performances and la
ment over the Britishers' failure, Sir
Conan Doyle, referring to the judges
award of the victory to John J.
Hayes, said
81 confess l cannot see how the
| judges could come to any other de-
cision, and yet the tragedy remains.
It was, as matters stood, a fair and
square win for the American since
without help Dorando must have lain
| senseless on the track"
In his general reference to the
| American athletes Sir Conan says:
"These Americans specialize, and
yet they retain the remarkable ap-
pearance of all around excellence
There is no hypertrophy of special
muscle. All is symmetry and balance,
beauty and grace. The theorist might
suppose the evolution of type meagel

The Wooinn of the Woodcock


! The wooing of the woodcock is one
of those sights to witness which a
lover of nature in all its moods will
make a journey of miles. The scene is
enacted at twilight, and the setting is
of willow or alder bushes whose
branches are just beginning to show
the tender green of early spring. Sud
denly from the damp ground bird
form shoots upward like some swamp
spirit until it is outlined against the
gray of the evening sky. Then it circles
above the branches, and the song of
the wooing begins. Hidden in the
darkness of the thick lower growth is
the object to which this love song is
directed. The bird above circles per-
haps a score of times, then drops back
to the damp thicket, making a sound
which can be likened only to the drop
ping of water into a woodland pool.
Again the bird scars and circles, sing
ing still the love song. This is repeat
ed time after time until the last CLEAN
of light has faded and nights dark
ness comes down.
