The Bemidji daily pioneer. [volume] (Bemidji, Minn.) 1904-1971, 1909-12-31

L
V. Robinson, Harvey w. Wilsey OF
the Pure Food Bureau, Washington,
Hon. George Otis Smith, John Nit.
chell, former head of the mine
workers, Edward T. Devine, and
many of the most prominent men in
Minnesota. The larger share of the
addresses are being allotted to Min
nesota men. All of the addresses
and all of the subjects have been
assigned with great care that they
might be wholly pertinent to Min
nesota and to conditions existing
within this state, to the end that the
state may derive from such ad-
dresses the greatest possible benefit.
Note.
Governor Eberhart announces this
ruling idea in connection with the
work of the Congress: The ad-
dresses, the subjects, the delibera-
tions of the Congress should deal
with questions of live and actual
interest in Minnesota. The state
does not need theories of conserva-
ton, but actual conservation and
development along conservative, safe,
and wisely ordered lines. The Con-
gress should express the advanced
thought of the state upon all these
state questions, but should not 20
beyond what is practical or what is
possible, but should rather seek to
summarize and reduce to sound and
practical form the best ideas of the
people of Minnesota, that future
legislatures may be guided in the
enactment of laws which are for the
greatest good of the whole state,
and that there may he harmony of
effort and action among all the many
interests seeking the advancement
and development of Minnesota along
right lines"
In Your County.
Your various agricultural, business
and social interests should be re-
presented in this congress and your
problems should present themselves
in the many discussions which will
follow the addresses before the
congress. The program is being
arranged in such a manner that
there will be ample time for com.
ment from the floor upon the SUBJ
jects considered. Minnesota will be
best served if your delegates are
prepared to present their local ques.
tons and problems and participate
in debate.
Officers Of the Congress.
The Congress is establishing head
quarters at room 237 State Capitol
where the undersigned may be
reached by letter. The Congress
is headed by Governor A. o. Eber-
hart, president, vice presidents from
each section of the state, the Con.
versation Commission which is rep
resentative and complete CON-
mittee organization. The officers
will appreciate the suggestions of
the people of the state with reference
to subjects not herein outlined. The
program will be crowded, but other
subjects can be taken up in section
meetings held in connection with
the regular sessions.
Agricultural Exposition and State
Exhibits.
In connection with the Congress
will be held MINES ota's frs t
Agricultural exposition outside of
the State Fair. A committee on
Exhibits has been named with In
migration Commissioner Welsh as
chairman. Each county in Mime
sofa should be represented in these
exhibits which will occupy the large
space on the stage of the municipal
auditorium. Owing to the season of
the year when the Congress is held,
many exhibits cannot be obtained

ducts which are not perisbable, your
county should be able to make a
good showing.
