TO fall to say that the Republican
party IL In favor Of the reasonable use
OF the Injunction would be emitting
the necessary answer to the charge
which Is anticipated in the campaign
that Secretary Taft Is the father Of
the injunction and approves its rad
ical as well as It's conservative use.
When the resolutions committee
holds Its first session 1t is planned to
refer the anti,injunction plank to a
subcommittee The programme of
consideration in the subcommittee is
to hold series of hearings and allow
all interested persons to present their
arguments. There seems no doubt of
the power Of the Taft forces to organ
lie the committee and name the sub
committee and 1t is likely that IA
vorable report will be made on the
plank, perhaps in modified form, to
the full committee and then will fol-
low the report to the convention, with
pOssibili of minority report
There are other planks of the plat
form which will also give trouble.
These are the railroad plank, which
includes declaration In favor OF
supervision Of the issuance in the fu-
ture of stocks and bonds by Interstate
corporations, and the trust plank, or
proposed amendment to the Sherman
antitrust law for the purpose of re-
lieving trades unions, farmers organ
izations and kindred aggregations of
persons from the implication of being
illegal because of their very existence.
The postal savings bank plank will
be vigorously opposed by banking in
terests. On all Of these propositions
the plan now is to open the doors of
the subcommittee for the presenta-
tion of facts on these subjects.

EXTEND THE "eLAD HAND" TO VISITORS.

Beginning tomorrow, the various
committees of the local Elk lodge
and citizens of Bemid j generally will
be called upon to entertain about
the liveliest bunch" of visitors that
ever gathered together in any city
in the state-the members of the
State Association, B. P. 0. E., of
Minnesota.
The visiting members of the order
and their ladies will include men
and women in nearly every walk of
life; and all of them will be here
with the expectation of receiving the
very best that Bemidji has in the
line of her we'll known hospitality.
The convention has been advertised
very extensively, and it is expected
that, with fair weather, there will be
large crowd here all three days
Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
The executive committee and the
various subcommittee of Bemidji
Lodge, No. 1852, B. P. O. E., have
worked indefatigably for the success
of the convention and reunion and
have made every provision possible
for the comfort, convenience and
entertainment of the visitors who
will be within our gates, but it is
necessary that the citizens of Be-
midi as a whole join with the
committees, at least in spirit, in
seeing to it that the visitors are
royalty entertained and that nothing
of an irritating nature occurs dur
ing the convention to cause anyone
to go away from Bemidji with the
conviction that we are inhospitable
people.
Let us cash, without protest, every
check drawn on our hospitality

KANSAS CITY FLOOD.

Kansas City, June 1 Flood condi-
tons are more serious in Kansas City
than they have yet been since the
present rise of the Kaw and Missouri
rivers began, but both rivers have be-
come stationary and it Is believed
that the water will begin to recede In
about tWenty-four hours. No rain has
fallen in this territory since Saturday
and although weather conditions are
still unsettled there is no immediate
prospect Of further precipitation.
The Missouri is holding back the
waters of the Kaw and forming one
vast lake in the district comprised by
Armourdale, Kan, and the wholesale
district in the west bottoms Of Kansas
City, Mo. The KaW river is falling at
Topeka and other points west. Re
ports from Missouri river points to the
north indicate that the waters are re-
ceding slowly in flooded districts.
The Union station is still above the
food level, although in Union avenue
alongside the depot express office the
water is more than foot deep. There
are more than two feet OF water in
front of the Blossom House, the most
pretentious hotel in that district, and
the railroad tracks on the west ap-
proach of the Union station are under

WHAT The KIDNEYS DO.
Their unceasing Work Keeps Us
Strong and Healthy.

All the blood in the body passes
through the kidneys once every
three minutes. The kidneys filter
the blood. They work night and
day. When healthy they remove
about 500 grains of impure matter
daily, when unhealthy some part
of this impure matter is left in the
blood. This brings on many
diseases and symptoms pain in
the back, headache, nervousness,
hot, dry skin, rheumatism, govt,
gravel, disorders OF the eyesight
and hearing, dizziness, irregular
heart, debility, drowsiness, dropsy,
deposits IN the urine, etc. But if
you keep the filters right you will
have no trouble with your kidneys.
James Bridges, living on Third
ST., Bemidji, Mimi, says: 81 am
glad to have the opportunity of
recommending Doan's Kidney
Pills to others, assI know them to
be reliable remedy. At the time
1 began their use, / was feeling
very miserable. There was
severe pain in the small of my
back, the kidney secretions were
dark and unnatural in appearance
and had great pain while pass
ing them. / saw Doan's Kidney
Pills highly recommended for such
complaints and procured a box at
the Owl Drug Store. They helped
me SO much that I procured
second supply and the relief I
received was wonderful. | am
now entirely free from pain and
my kidneys are more normal in
action.

USED AS SAVINGS BANKS
Postofflces Hold Eight Millions Of Pub
lie Money.

~
lie Money.
Washington, June 1.-THE post
Offices OF the country have come to
be, to a greater extent than would be
supposed, savings banks for the peo-
pie. This fact has been brought out
as a result Of inquiries by the depart
ment officials.
Recently the third assistant post
master general asked every first and
second class postmaster In the United
States for information relative to the
money orders that had been sold for
savings purposes during the year end
ed Feb. 20, 1908. The returns from
these inquiries show that 127 ,623
money orders, aggregating $S,000,00O,
were purchased during the year at
1886 first and second class postoffices
for savings purposes by patrons hay-
ing the money orders made payable to
themselves.
The savings bank bill introduced in
the senate by Senator Carter, which
has been made a special order for
Dec. IA next, is said to embody the
ideas of Postmaster General Meyer on
the subject.

INTEREST GROWS HOURLY
Vice Presidential Question Remains
Unsettled.

Chicago, June 17.-Interest grows
hourly in the vice presidential situa-
ton and 1t has been augmented by the
conflicting reports regarding the pref
erence Of the president and Secretary
Taft on this subject and the effect
upon the political situation In Indiana
and Iowa of the possible nomination
of Vice President Fairbanks and Sen
ator Dolliyer.
The peculiar conditions in the New
York state delegation. considerable
proportion OF which is avowedly in
favor OF the nomination Of Represen-
tative James S. Sherman OF Utica
and the sentiment, especially among
delegates from several Of the New
England states. to the effect that the
ticket would gain strength from the
nomination of New York state man,
has complicated a situation which
might otherwise have been far more
simple The name of ex-Mayor Seth
Low of New York was mentioned in
connection with the nomination and
there Is still talk centering about that
of Secretary of the Treasury Cortel-
you, but the liveliest interest among
the New York delegates and others
favoring the selection of a New York
man Is In the candidacy of Represen-
tat1ve Sherman.
Pledged to Support Hughes.
Yet New York is pledged, both by
the action Of its state and the majority
of its district conventions and by the
unanimous vote Of its caucus, to press
Governor Charles &. Hughes for the
presidential nomination. Both the
Hughes and anti-Hughes men in the
delegation realize the absurdity OF
claim even by the Empire state of
both places on the ticket at the same
time. kilograms exchanged between
Representative Herbert Parsons Of
New York and the governor made it
plain that no act of the latter would
result In the withdrawal OF the gov
ernor's name before the close Of the
first ballot at least and both elements
in the delegation have concluded that
before Mr.. Sherman's name can be
properly preached for the vice presi-
Dental nomination the candidacy of
Governor Hughes must be definitely
disposed Of.

New York, June Thames j. Hill
has arrived in this city from Washing

on business conditions except crop
prospects. The floods, he said, may
have done considerable harm in the
Southwest, but in the Northwest pros
poets are very good. The heavy rains
there, while drowning out some of the
loWland crops, had helped the wheat
in the uplands, SO that on the whole
they had been beneficial. Generally,
Mr.. Hill thought the prospects good
