The Political Twins.

The simultaneous announces
ments of the candidates. for the
U. S. senate of Marshall and
Gronna are not mere condolences.
They Indicate the pact that ex-
lists between the pair of political
twins. 1t also confirms the
rumors of the star chamber ses-
sions of the insurgents in Fargo
and Minneapolis and the reports
of "slates" that have been dis
cussed from time to time.
Such Encouragement is newt
able-even if in violation of the
spirit of the primary election law.
No one-not even the most en-
thusiastic shouters for the meas.
ure-ever expected that the priim.
aries would prevent men from get
ting together and doing some
political Juggling. The men who
now compose the leaders Of the in.
surgency were the strongest
shouters for the law and their
methods of ignoring its letter as
we'll as the spirit indicates how
lightly they regard it.
There was nothing unexpected
in the announcement of the can
didacy of Marshall and Gronna
for the senate. Both men have
been discussed for the senatorship
for months and whatever doubt
was felt about Gronna being in
the race was removed at the death
of Senator johnson.
The two men are understood to
have formed an offensive and de-
|fensive alliance for the campaign
and each has a bank roll of suf-
6cient Dimensions to Indicate a
strenuous campaign.-Forum

cording to the measure of faithful
ness-the worthy our continued
confidence, and the unworthy an
oblivion from whence they may
not return to misuse Office for pri-
vate ends.
Congressman AISLE j. Gronna is
now serving his third term as a
member from North Dakota.
During all the years in which he
has drawn his salary and basked
in the reflected glory Of his high
office he has been a dawdler and
IAN idler in so far az comforting any
real service to the public is con-
cerned. Regarding this particular
J member from North Dakota the
congressional records have moth
ing of moment to record. Mr..
!Gronna did not possess the ability
to legislate wisely-neither the in
clination-did not, does not and
never will. But in a marked de-
gree he possesses the cheap talents
of the mountebank-assumed pro-
fundity, petty craft and a keen eye
for the spectacular.
1t was Gronna who in the winter
of l9O6-l9O7, during the bri eff
snow blocade, appealed to the pres
ident for aid-and pictured his
own state as a blizzard swept waste
where cold and hunger were wreak-
ing a terrible toll of suffering.
Actual want or serious deprivation
did not exist-and the damage
wrought by the elements was
small in comparison to the damage
accomplished by Gronna's SANDER.
His efforts at self Reimbursement in
this single instance effectually
frightened away eastern homeseek-
ers and investor, and bequeathed
our state an undeserved reputation
that only years will overcome.
It is Gronna who now brazenly
poses as a progressive republican
and insurgent-Gronna, who owes
his career to Mckenzie, whose
creature and candidate he has al
ways been. In the days of gang
regime he was always counted, in
the halls of congress and the intri-
cacies of private life, as one of the
sturdy old guard who maintained
without descent or question the su-
premacy Of corporate rule in pub
lie affairs. He is quoted as ex-
pressing gratitude to Mckenzie for
favors bestowed upon him-pub-
lie office, private prosperity and
the ambiguous prefix Of ''honora-
ble." National affairs at Wash
ington were not of such paramount
Importance, that he could not
leave his duties in congress at Nc
Kennels request and hasten home-
ward to employ his talents in the
strengthening of gang breastworks
for the impending campaign. He
made n 0 secret Of his shameful
subordination to a will other than
the people's-his papers Haunted
it, condoned it, reviled his oppon-
ents, and in every way assisted
Gronna in the pleasant practice Of
hiking the public at the public's
expense.
We do not pretend to know, nor
care for, the circumstances which
led Mckenzie to break with Gron-
ma, and dismiss the latter from
corporate service and lieutenancy

ice will have gone out of LaSalle
lake, leaving clear stretch of water
from LaSalle lake via the Mississippi
river to Lake Irving.
The company will load the logs
on Lake Irving by means of the
hoist on the east shore of the lake,
there being a spar of the Great
Northern running to the lake from
the main line, about a mile west of
Bemidji.
These logs were cut under con.
tract by Frank Remley, who put in
about 100000 feet, and Smith &
Severance, who put in the balance.

My residence has been established
in Cass Lake, so as to be as near as
possible to the center of my work,
The task assigned me is a large one,
and impossible of accomplishment,
except for the help that is given
me by the rectors of the organized
parishes, nearly all of whom serve
one or more outlying stations. Even
so, I often have occasion to wish
for sixty days a month, in order
that I might reach other places,
where little groups of Christian
people are asking for the service
in which they have been trained
and have learned to love.
But someone is saying We
know you cannot do all that might
be done;' but is anything being
done that will give warrant to this
interview? ..-.-.. -
Let US concentrate our thoughts
upon the work among the Indians.
This work was begun as early as
1852. For twenty-five years the
work was limited to a single mission,
first at Gull Lake, near Brainerd,
and after 1868 at White Earth.
In 1877 the work was extended
to Red Lake, Cass Lake and Lee CHI
Lake reservations. It was not with
out great difficulty that prejudice
was dispelled and the work estab-
lished. But the work has continued
to prosper, until now we have twelve
organized missions, ministered to by
eight native missionaries, and sew
eral women workers.
We have been able to prove, to
our own satisfaction, and will un-
dertake to convince the most skep-
teal if he will investigate, the
falsity of the very general belief that
All good Indians are dead Indians
With an advance of but little more
than half a century in the ways of
civilization, I am not able to recall
another people, of which history
gives us record, who nave made so
great an advance in the same length
of time.

The Bemidji team made fairly
good showing against Brainerd, last
Saturday and with added practice
will probably make a very good
showing. The game will be called
at $3.50 o'clock.
On Sunday afternoon the Bemidji
city team will play its opening game
of the season and will have as oppon.
ents the Walker team.
Walker always has a strong team,
and with Peppin or Rogers pitching
and Sundby catching, they have a

living, and just as easily lead into
ways of evil; they look to the white
man as their natural guides; and just
here lies the greatest difficulty the
missionary has to contend with.
The white man has too often proven
himself unworthy of his civilization.
Looking only to his own selfish in
terests, he has not hesitatedto cheat,
rob and defraud his red brother.
Not only so, but in order to carry
out his selfish schemes, he has lead
the Indian into ways that are
absolutely wrong. He has not hesi-
tated to teach the Indian to drink
liquor, in order that, when drunk,
the Indian might fall the more easy
victim to his nefarious schemes.
Any sweeping charge may be unjust
to some, yet it may be stated as a
general rule, that the treatment of
our Indians by the white people of
our border towns is unworthy the
civilization of this twentieth century.
Yet in spite of surrounding con-
ditions, the church continues to
lift her voice for the right living,
and she has been signally blessed
in her administrations.
Our greatest need today, in con-
nection with this work, is for several
consecrated men to stand as pickets
in these border towns, in order
that we may civilize and humanize
the white people. I am doing what
can. There may be some reader
who will consider it a blessed
privilege to help put another man
or two in these places"

Several witnesses occupied the
stand yesterday afternoon in. the
$4,000 damage suit instituted by
Mrs. Mary Johnson of Blackjack
against DR.. John c. Koch, the first
of whom was the defendant, for
further cross-examination by Senator
Peterson.
DR.. Koch told of the disnia, or
difficulty of breathing, with which
Oscar Johnson had been troubled
during his sickness and went care
fully over the treatment which he
had given the case from Wednesday
morning to Oscars death on Mon
day. The witness did not recall
whether or not he had told the
family when they might send for
Bert Johnson, at Fergus Falls, and
Olga, who was attending the state
university.
In response to a question from
Senator Peterson the defendant
went oyer each conversation, being
especially particular as to exact
time, which he had had with mem
bers of the family during. the boys
illness and subsequently.
In telling of the conversation with
Della in the hospital when the latter
had slapped him on the cheek, the
doctor acknowledged that he did not
turn the other cheek"
Mr.. Mcdonald offered in evidence
two pages of the doctors calling
book as relating to the. visits made
to Oscar Johnson and the pages
were accepted.
C. w. Conway, Blackduck lum-
herman, was called by the defense to
relate statement made by Albert
Johnson in reference to DR.. Koch's
treatment of the case but the testi-
mony was ruled out as counsel had
not laid sufficient foundation.
After recess E. L. Oberg, editor
of the Blackjack American, testi-
fed that he had called at the John
sou store between the time of Oscars
death and the publication of his
weekly on March, II, 1908. Mrs.
Johnson hadanswered some questions
in regard to the date and place of
Oscars birth and then went on to
say that DR.. Koch had done all he
could for Oscar.
Mr.. Oberg-"I mentioned the ru.
NOR that they had had diphtheria
and not been properly quarantined
but she said that as far as she knew
they had been quarantined as soon
as they knew it was diphtheria."
In cross-examination by Senator
Peterson the witness stated that
Mrs. Johnson had not said anything
as to when they had learned it was
diphtheria.
Mr.. Mcdonald next called Dr.. E.
A. Shannon of this city to the stand.
The doctor told of the usual symp-
toms in the early stages of tonsilitis
and in diphtheria and said that a
swelling of the submaxillary glands
