 they were anxious that Altacoola should have the naval base regardless of the claims or merits of any other section. That was unusual. puZzling to Langdon. Moreover, 1t was poor business, yet there were able business men in the senate. Not one of them would, for instance, think of buying a site for factory until he had investi- gated many possible locations and then selected the most favorable one. Why was it. he pondered, that the business of the great United States of America was not conducted on business linesf
 He must study the whole question in telligently; that was imperative. He must have advice, help. To whom was he to go for 1t? Stevens? Yes, his old friend, who knew all 'the ropes" Yet even Stevens seemed different in Wash ington than Stevens in Mississippi. Here he played second fiddle" He was even obsequious, Langdon had ob- served, to Peabody. Tn Mississippi he was leader, and strong one too. But Senator Langdon had not yet learned of the many founts from which polit- ical strength and political leadership may be gained.
 What he finally decided on was the engaging of secretary, but hes must be one with Knowledge. of political op- a,.o xx.hn ,.npnl.tnc1 cd der,, with honesty. Such an aid could pre- vent Langdon from making the many mistakes that invariably mark the new man in politics. and he could point out the most effective modes of procedure under given circumstances. It might essary qualifications who was not al- ready employed. but in the meantime Langdon would watch the playing of the game himself and make his own deductions as best he could.
 The senator started toward the hotel desk to ask regarding the whereabouts of his son Randolph when his atten- ton was caught by the sight of three powerful negro porters endeavoring to thrust outdoors threadbare old man. The victims flowing white hair. white mustache and military bearing receiv- ed short shrift.
 Come along, colonel! To can't sit heah all day. Them chairs is for the guests fin the hotel" the head porter was urging as he jerked the old man toward the door.
 The Misslssippian's fighting blood was instantly aroused at such treat ment of respectable old white man by negroes. His lips tightly compress ed as he hurried to the rescue He cried sharply.
 "Take your hands off that gentle man! What do you mean by touching friend of mine"
 The negroes stepped back amazed.
 "Scuse me. senator. is this gent'man friend O. yours," the head porter gasped apo!ogetically.
 Langdon looked at him.
 "You heard what said." he drawled in the slow way natural to some men of the south when trouble threatens.

He realized that he would have considerable intercourse with Peabody in the processes of legis- lation and finally had to admit to him self that he did not like the senator from Pennsylvania. Just what 1t was I.angdon could not at this time make certain. but he was nystiied by traces of contradictions in the senator's char acter-slight traces. true. but traces nevertheless. Peabodys cordiallty and sympathy were to Langdon's mind partly genuine and partly false. Just what was the cause of or the necessity for the alloy in the true metal he could not fathom.
 His talk with these famous lawmak CTS was unsatisfactory also In that it had conveyed to Langdon the sugges- ton that the senate was not primarily a great forum for the general and ac tive consideration of weighty meas ures and of national policies. It had been his idea that the senate was pri- marily such forum. but the attitude of Peabody and Stevens had hinted to him that there were matters of indiv- ual interest that outweighed public or national considerations.

Mr.. Westlake expressed himself
as being surprised that the people of
Bemidji had thought so much of the
benefits that would accrue to the
city through getting the great indie
pendent road that they had securd
a most desirable right-of-way through
the busy part of the city and practi-
cally gave the same to the 500 free
of charge. He was certain that the
500 officials felt very kindly disposed
towards Bemidji, because of this
splendid treatment accorded the
road.
The commercial club have mott
fed all occupants of houses along
the right~of-way to vacate immedi-
ately, and it is believed that the
route will be cleared of every

commercial prosperity of the city of
Bemidji-the kind of prosperity that
is of a substantial nature-Gill
Bros. have purchased the Swedback
block, on Third street, and consider
that they made a mighty advant-
ageous bargain.
In talking to the Pioneer man
concerning the purchase, David
Gill said:
we are not buying this property
as a location for our store. We pur.
chased the store building simply as
an investment; and we firmly be.
lieve that Bemidji real estate and
business blocks are about the best
'gilt-edged' investment to be found
anywhere"

of confectionery, fruits, ETC., and he
will not be disturbed.

reform WAVE" ON At
INTERNATIONAL FALLS
Judge Spooner Of This City Employed
as Attorney for Municipal Re.
form League.

There's a veritable "rustling of
dry bones," at International Falls,
through the organization of NUM-
cipal Reform League, which has for
its avowed purpose better public
administrative conditions" at the
Falls" more especially with rela.
ton to the village council and other
village officials, whom some of the
citizens charge with gross incompet.
ency and "brazen effrontry and dire
gard of the law and the wishes of
the people. of whom they are but the
servants"
The Municipal form
League" has apparently been organ.
lied at the instigation of some of
the more conservative residents of
the Falls" who do not want the
village money expended in a reckless
manner.
The preamble of the organization
contains the assertion, among other
things, that the same was organized
to aid and assist in exposing
corruption in any of the depart
ments of the municipal governmen Mt,
and to support each other in all
legitimate efforts to suppress the
same"
The International Falls Echo says
of the meeting, at which the Re-
form League was organized:
Judge Spooner of Bemidji was
present by request and was immedi-
ately engaged as counsel for the
league. His first work was to draw
up the necessary papers protesting
the payment of the seven bills listed,
and the latter are now hung up
until their validity can be tested in
the July term of the district court.
But the end is not here, as there
are other matters of equal import
ance for the eminent lawyer to act
upon and he is taking them up in
his usual thorough manner, which
means that the taxpayers of this
village are to now and from this
time on have their rights safe
guarded.
There is to be no prosecution
but such drastic measures as are
necessary to bring the council to
realization of the fact that there are
laws to govern their actions, and
that they must be followed, are to be
instituted, in order that our munich.
pal affairs may from this time on be
administered in a manner entirely
free from suspicion of graft or pre-
judice. Precedents have heretofore
governed the actions of our village
officials. The present council from
this time on will be compelled to
establish new ones"

Special Officer Larson Requested Re-
vocation Because Of Sale of
Whisky to Indians.

At the request of H. A. Larson,
special officer of the Indian depart.
ment, the city council, at the meet
ing held last evening, revoked the
liquor license held by John Groom,
who conducts the Nicollet hotel and
saloon the revocation being asked
because of the allegation made by
Mr.. Larson that Mr.. Groom had
sold Intoxicating liquor to a person
of Indian blood. Before the council
took vote on the revocation of the
license, MI. Groom was given an
opportunity to speak on the subject,
and he; stated that he had sold a
flask ofwhiskey to man who ap-
peared to be white man, but who,
it was latter proven, was. person of
Indian blood; and Mr.. Groom made
no further statement.
Mr.. Larson referred to the action
of Mr.. Groom, who sold the flask to
the INDIAN. whom he claimed
be did not know was an Indian,
and warned those prese
that ignorance of this character
2vailed nothing. He advised the
saloon men that the best method
: to pursue was to sell liquor to no
one whom the dealer did not abso-
lutely know had no Indian blood
in bis veins; to be firm in this
rule and take no chances.
The prompt action taken by the
council in revoking the license of
MI. Groom seemed highly gratifying
to MI. Larson.
