New Bill at the Brinkman.

The Mayfair family is one of the
greatest acts ever in the house. They
are from London, England and came
direct from Winnipeg, Canada, to
Bemidji.
Mrs. Mayfair and daughter have
some of the finest electrical effects
in their act ever seen in the house.
It is an act that must be seen to
be appreciated.
The Norwoods are not new on
the circuit, and have been very
highly recommended to Mr.. Brink
man as a headliner act.
There is an entire change to-
night in the moving pictures as
we'll as the vaudeville acts.

Member of State Board of Control
Tells Pioneer Effort Is On ~s.
to Correct Evil.
WILL ASK AID OF LEGISLATURE
First Step Will be to Make Scientific
Examination and Collect Reliable
Statistics.

Children from insane parents are
as numerous in Beltrami county,
in comparison to the population,
as anywhere else in the
state, according to a communica.
ton to the Pioneer from Charles E.
Vasaly of the state board of control.
So alarming has this evil become
in Minnesota that the board of con.
troll will ask the assistance of
the coming session of the legis-
lature in an attempt to curb it, all of
which Mr.. Vasaly explains as fol-
lows:
The subject is a vast one. and
we would hardly be in a position to
say at this time just what method
should be adopted to correct the
evil.
There has been little work done
in a statistical line in this state
covering this matter.
The question involves not only the
increasing number of children born
of an insane parent, but also parent
age that is feeble-mlnded, defective,
OF degenerate, often with criminal
proclivities.
Work has begun at the St. Cloud
'Reformatory in the examination of
the inmates by trained alienists, and
new department of research along
these lines has been lately opened at
the Fairbault School for Feeble
Minded and Colony for Epileptics."
The Board will ask the Legisla.
ture for funds for the purpose of scien-
tifc and clinical investigations at
the hospitals for the insane. So far
there has been no appropriation for
this purpose.
When we have more knowledge
of the extent of the conditions to be
remedied and know how many are
affected, we shall be in a better
position to suggest a remedy.
We have no definite statistics
showing the number of children in
Beltrami county born of insane par
entage, though we are lead to believe
your county has as many, in com.
parison to the population, as any in
state.
We are glad to see Beltrami
county interested in this vital ques-
tion."

Flags and Taft-Roosevelt Pictures Also
Used To Make City Fairyland
Next Week.
EXPECTS TO BREAK ALL RECORDS
With President As Attraction on Labor
Day, Management Predicts Un-
precedented Attendance.

st. Paul, Minn., Sept. 1-(Spe.
cial to the Pioneer)-The city OF
St. Paul is all lit up. The nation
al colors are every whers to be
seen. The office and store build
ings are covered with flags and
red, white and blue bunting.
The progressive merchants of
the "Gateway to the northwest
are decorating for Conservation
Week, and the state fair.
A decorator when asked today
to give an estimate of the number of
yards of bunting that will be used in
this city said it would be no less than
100000 yards, which means more
than IS miles of red, white and blue
trimmings.
In addition to this are the thous-
ands of American flags, large and
small. Above the new Saint Paul
hotel where the foreign represent
atives will stop during their stay
here will be unfurled the flags of
their countries.
And this is not all, when Presi-
dent Taft drives through the busi-
ness district of the city on the
morning of September S he will
see his smiling countenance in
every window along the line. And
with it he will see the more serious
face of his predecessor in Office,
Col. Theodore Roosevelt.
The people of Saint Paul know
no politics or faction next week.
They are going to have as their
guests during the week many men
prominent in the affairs of the
nation, chief among them of course,
being the president and the former
president of the nation.
The state fair, conceded to be
the greatest of its kind, will attrack
thousands from Minnesota. The
first days attendance never is as
large as that of succeeding days
and whatever comparisons are
made concerning the size of the
crowds on Monday when President
TAFT is here and on Tuesday when
Col. Roosevelt speaks must allow
for the fact that more state fair
visitors will be here on the second
day.
There has been a great demand
for seats in the auditorium on the
days that the president and former
president are to speak but it will
be a case of the survival of the
fttest after the delegates and
guests invited from other cities
and towns are seated. No seats
will be reserved other than these

.FORESEE SUCCESS FOR

is the Verdict.

Chairman Nugent is delighted with tho
results of the Woodrow Wilson cam
paign 50 far achieved and measuring
the situation from what he has gauh-
cred in his tour with tie candidate
in the first three weeks of the battle
he is about convinced that the peo-
pie of the state are ready for The
change they seem so determined II
affairs. OF course, the chairman
knows full well THAT big meetings and
great demonstrations of enthusiasm
cannot always be regarded as a true
guage of popular sentiment, for en-
thlsiasm wanes when the direct cause
of it is removed from the sphere Of
influence, but he is not banking alone
upon what has been tie most con
Spicuous in all the Wilson meeting
so far held, the apparent deep interest
of the big crowds.
He is making a complete investiga-
ton of the whole state through trusted
lieutenants and he gets reports that
the set of the tide toward Wilson is
tremendously strong in every direc-
ton. The meetings, of course, show
tie interest of the people, for it s
not possible that they make such eff
forts to attend merely to see the
man. In that aspect of the movement
Mr.. Wilson himself displays ALWAYS
the utmost modesty. He does not Law
any claim at all to any inherent quail
ity tat brings the throngs. but as
cribes the movement to the great pop
ular interest in the questions he has
been discussing and in that he may
have some ground for reason.
But Mr. Nugent is not depending u9-
on the public meetings. He is putting
in tie hours between them to seeing
the men who manage things in TIE
counties he reaches and lie has a fine
corps of men at work at Newark ana
elsewere digging into facts which, ~
says, will cause widespread sensations
when they are ready to be given out.
He has thoroughly organized the
campaign along lines wholly differ
ent from anything that has hereto
fore been done GSld while Mr.. Wilson
is, as the chairman puts it, whole
in himself the other work
will show its effects in a few
days and confidence in the result Is
displayed by the chairman at evs:t
turn. He has not the slightest dSu 9t
of Mr.. Wilson's overwhelming slSc-
