HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL
PLAYERS WILL BE STRONG

last year, and will probably play
there again. Kreatz is staunch
guard. Boyer got into only one
game in 'O7, but is husky lad
with plenty of courage. Huffman
and Stanton are newcomers in the
city. Huffman played one year on
the Central High of Minneapolis
and Stanton is an excellent addi-
ton to the local squad from St.
Thomas college. Both of the last
two men will strengthen the team
considerably. Fay Breneman, Rus
sell and Peterson are new material,
but will greatly aid in developing
fast team. The bunch, as whole,
are, fine.
The boys have quite a snug sum
of money in their treasury left over
from last year and they will give
several suppers and entertainments
in the near future to raise sufficient
money to meet the expenses of the
forthcoming season.
The high school boys will have
paid coach this fall to put them in
the best possible shape, and Manager
Lycan stated to the Pioneer reporter
that he has practically completed
arrangements to secure Archie
Libby, a former player on the
Carlisle team, as coach for this sea-
son. With such an experienced
man to coach them, the boys will,
undoubtedly, make a fine showing.
The local management will
attempt to secure games with the
following high school teams: Cass
Lake, Grand Rapids, Walker,
Akeley, Park Rapids, Bagley, Foss-
ton, Crookston and East Grand
Forks. There will be some cracking
good games this fall and the Bemidii
boys will make a determined effort
to land the championship of north
western Minnesota.

Mrs George McC2ea.

The above telegram, which was
received from Kalispel, Mont, by
Walter Markham, at o'clock this
afternoon, was soon given publicity
about the city and at once created
a feeling of sorrow over the COM
munity and is especially saddening
to the relatives and immediate
friends of the popular young man
who has gone to his last reward,
The death of George Markham
has been rather expected since We'd
nesday, when a telegram was re-

that he was not expected to live, but
despite that fact, the, message an
nouncing his death came as a shock
. to every resident of Bemidji. %
Generous to a fault, an obedient
son to his mother and loving COM

George Markham's loss will be
keenly felt,. both by the immediate
members Of his family and by the
host of friends who knew him so

AS the thrill of autumn comes
creeping into the air and the blood
begins to tingle, the wise football
player commences to plan and
train for the battles of the gridlron
which are to come.
The boys of the Bemidji high
school are already preparing for the
annual round of football games and
each evening of late sees them
tackling and kicking the ball about
the school grounds, under the
coaching of Manager Lycan and
Captain Kruse.
There will be between twenty and
twenty-five candidates for positions
on the high school team this season
and each man will have to work hard
to gain and to hold his place, some
thing that the boys heretofore have
not been compelled to do on account
of lack of material.
Among the material which the
leaders will have to work with this
fall are the following: Humdrum.
Lycan, Kruse, Charles and Danna
Gould, Huffman, Claude Brene man,
Albert Peterson, Boyer, Kreatz,
Ryan, Russell, Fay Breneman and
Stanton. Getchell, Carter, Peterson,
Shook, Richardson and Dwyer,
regular players and subs on last
years team, will not be back again
this fall.
Lycan, who played tackle last
year, is practicing faithfully for
fullback. and will probably obtain
that position. Charles Gould played,
part of the time last year, at
tackle and occasionally at guard,
and his brother, Dana, at guard and
sub. Humdrum and Kruse (cap-
tain) were the fastest pair of ends
that the local high school ever had.

Among the many damaged titles
which are being offered American heir
esses are those of two Servian Princes,
who will shortly visit this country in
search of girls who want to marry into
nobility. In the first place, Servia is a
little seven-by-nine principality Of fery
recent birth, and peopled by an ignor-
ant, turbulent lot of Slavs who are In
about the same moral, social AMI in
dustrial condition as those of little in
terror South American States. On the
whole, we should prefer as n place OF
say. Paraguay or Ecuador. and
the Indian half-breeds and Spaniards
there would be more agreeable daily
associates than the pig-raising Servians.
King Peter, whose grandfather made 4
modest fortune out of the pig business,
came to the throne in 1903, as result
of brutal assassination of his predeces-
sor and wife. Almost any fine morning
it may be known that the other faction
in Servia has risen and treated King
Peter as his faction did King Alexander
and his Queen.

"BII.L" TAFT.

There is disposition on the part OF
commonize the Presidential nominee by
speaking of him as "Bill'' Taft which
we do not approve. The nominee HIM
self has laughingly suggested to the
| reporters when they were puzzled as to
whether to call him Secretary or Judge
| is not at all in good taste for man
| who is candidate for the highest
Office in the world to be called by a
name so curt as to SAVIOR of disrespect
| We have never alluded to the Demo-
cratic candidate as "BilT' Bryan, mol
so high in the estimation of American
citizens as to receive their suffrages for
an office of the utmost dignity and i'm
portance. "BiIl'' savors so much of the
Ivulgarism of the streets and the free and
easy loafer to be out of place for any
man who has serious work in life. Mr..
Taft" or plain Taft is the best way in
which to speak of the nominee. Mister
is the universal American usage for
men in every walk of life, and it is just
as fitting to the man who makes his
living by showing a plane or following a
pillow as it is to the highest man i'm the
Nation. 1t speaks of our common uni
versal Americanism, where one citizen
is only elevated above another by being
selected on account of his superior fit
fnr 10 in r.
ticular and necessary function. To
speak of the nominee as Taft has a
similar dignity and respect, because it
embodies the mans own personality,
what he is and what he has made of
himself. 1t goes back to our Kettle and
English ancestry, where the highest title
that coud be given man was "O'Dono-
hue or ''Camxbelf' or Davis imply
ing that he was the head of or at least
a representative of the powerful and
entirely respectable clan of which that
was the name.
Let US therefore drop "BilI'' Taft and
Bill Bryan, and have either Mr.. Taft
and Mr.. Bryan or better still, simply
Taft and Bryan.
In the English nobility to-day there
survive several instances of men of the
highest rank who have no other title
than "The McNab." 1.-The Chisholm"
THE O'Donohue." All of the old Irish,
Scotch and WEIGH clans called their
head simply Davis or Campbell"
and while many of these heads of clans
have become English mobiles many of
ton, and are prouder of it than if they
had been ennobled by the King. The
highest respect that can be given
man, therefore, is to. simply call him by
his family name, as if he was the head
of the family.
