Republican Victory Means Honest Re-
apportionment, Says Secretary of
Development Association.
FRANK DAY THINKS CAUSE IS LOST
Believes Senate and County Option OPP
ponents Will Make Fair Redis-
tricting Impossible.

The overwhelming republican
victory in Minnesota means honest
reapportionment for the state," de-
clares w. R. Mackenzie of this city,
secretary of the Northern Minnesota
Development Association, who con-
tinues:
The republican party is irrevoc-
ably pledged to reapportionment and
the election of all our friends in
Northern Minnesota is an evidence
of the fact that the representatives
regardless of party lines in the north
ern counties are as unit for our
rights"
Mr.. Mackenzie has received
pledges from the legislators. The
reapportionment act will carry with it
provisions for the election of new
senators in all of the affected
districts.
This means that it will throw
nearly 80 senatorial elections into
the next campaign, as county
option will at that time be an issue
and as there will be United
States senator to elect, the reap
portlonment act stands out, with
out doubt, as the most important
measure facing the state legisla-
ture at its coming session.
Secretary Mackenzie, who was
named one OF the committee ap-
pointed by the B emidj, meeting,
last Friday, to draft good roads
bill, leaves to night for St. Paul to
confer with George w. Cooley,
state road engineer. The road
bill, one of the measures which
has for its purpose the protec
ton of the Minnesota forests, will
be constructed along the lines of
the judicial ditch law and will call
for the supervision of the state
highway commission in all con.
struction work.
We have in mind a good roads
bill which, we believe, with the
measure being drawn by State Audi
tor Iversop and United States Fores-
try Superintendent Marshall of Cass
Lake, will make forest fires in Min
nesota a thing of the past" said Mr..
Mackenzie.
Frank Day, deposed leader of
Minnesota democracy, doesn't agree
with Secretary Mackenzie regarding
reapportionment. In fact he says
the cause of reapportionment is lost.
I'VE offered the northern part of
the state bread, but they preferred a
stone," he remarked. There is not
one chance IN a 1000 for reappor-
tionment. Not one man out of FIVE
of the senate elected. honestly favors
it. Every opponent of county option
will be against it. The liquor inter
ests have the majority in the state
for four years, and they are taking
no chances. The brewery interests
elected a majority of the senators.
The fact that 100000 people in
the northern part of the state are
disfranchised and will remain unrep-
resented, will not be given serious
thought. Northern Minnesota has
been betrayed and the G.. o. P. is
its MASTER"

Gets Supply in Cellar But on Orders by
Wire From Johnson It Must Be
Reshipped.
BRENTS ARRIVES; in COMMAND
Squad of Government Agents Coming
Sero Off for Michigan-Jetley
Out of the Service.

Ben.i dji saloonkeepers are
awakening TO a realization of the
full force of the governments latest
order, twelve carloads OF beer con.
signed to this city having been
held on the track and forced to be
returned by agents in this city.
The John Larson saloon, Third
street and Minnesota avenue sue
ceeded in getting a carload of beer
slowed away in the cellar before
agents of the Indian bureau knew
what had happened. There was
some doubt as to the right to order
the beer removed and Agent N. A.
telegraphed "Pussyfoot" w. E.
ohnson for instructions. He re-
ceived a prompt reply by wire
ordering him to have the beer
placed on the cars and shipped
back to the brewery.
Agent Matulys discovered yester.
day morning that -trainload of beer
was ready to be unloaded here. the
greater part of it being consigned to
Bemidji breweries. The men to
whom the beer was intended, con.
tended that it had been ordered be-
fore the governments order forbid
ding shipment had gone into effect.
Agents Matulys and Way thought
that made no difference and would
not permit keg of beer to be un-
loaded and in this saction they now
are backed up by w. E. Johnson, at
the head of the Indian bureau. The
twelve carloads of beer together with
several barrels of whisky and half
dozen casks of wine are on their way
back home without any success in
their intended thirst quenching ex-
pediti on.
T. E. Brents arrived today to take
charge Of the Bemidji sub agency
and he makes it plain that the hold.

Gates the firm determination of the
government to enforce the Indian
treaty. 1t is at once apparent that
the government means business and
that the doom of not only every sa-
loon in Bemidji but of every one in
the Indian district is sealed and
that legalized liquor traffic in the
affected territory will be thing of
the past as soon as the present
liquor supplies are exhausted.
The first attempt to unload beer
since the mo shipment" order went
into effect was made Sunday morn
ing and it was at that time that
the Larson supply was re-
plenished. The agents were on the
job," however, and they will con-
tinue to be.
Agents Brents came to Bemidji
alone today but several special
agents are expected in Bemidji soon
to see that the Indian. treaty provi-
sions are strictly enforced. Agent
Way is here and will work out of
this city. -..
N. J. Sero, who has long been
prominently identified with the In
dian bureau work in this vicinity, is
now attending court at Ashland,
Wis. From Ashland he will go to
Michigan, to continue his work with
the government. --.-.
O. Q. Jetley, who was sent 10 Cass
Lake, several weeks ago, to investi.
gate and who, while there, was re-
ported to have become intoxicated,
offered his resignation 20 the Indian
bureau and it has been accepted and
he quits the service tomorrow. He
has been living near Aberdeen, S. D.,
since leaving Cass Lake.

FAVoRING THE BILL.

Senator Sutherland has done good
service to his party and TO the nation
in his argument in favor of the postal
savings bank bill. The platform of the
party commits Republicans to the
policy, and the arguments against the
establishment of postal savings banks
run directly counter to the arguments
in its favor that have been advanced
by men of all parties, and for many
years.
Underlying every other consideration
is this: The people want a bank in
which they can deposit their money
with absolute certainty of getting il out
again. If Utah were the only state to
be considered, there would be nothing
in that argument. But there are other
states in the Union, and In some of
them the record for bank failures is
such as to destroy public confidence.
And that is especially true of the poor
people-the very ones who will profit
most greatly by the establishment of
the system suggested. They are the
people in whom the qualities of econe-
my and thrift should be encouraged.
They must, first of all, be assured that

TAKE 1T, JOHN.

John d. Rockefeller wants permission
of government to increase his benefac-
tions.
Take it, John. Take it freely. You
have a good deal of money, and a good
deal of service to the people can be ac-
complished with it. You already have
helped teachers at the Chicago Univer-
sity to learn more about the creation
than the Creator knows, and some of
the things you have enabled them to
learn have been passed along to the
world. You have done something for
the health of the people-in the way of
seeking the causes of disease. And YOU
have done your share in popularizing
the game Of golf, and booming the price
of gutta percha-without, as we I'M
derstand it, owning a gutta percha
mill.
But you still have a good deal of
coin, and If the spirit moves you to do
nate all or any part of it, don't wait for
permission. Just be assured that there
will be no objection-not the slightest
in the world. Give it, and give it like
a prince.
Not a hand in all this broad nation
shall be lifted to prevent you. 1t is
unanimous.

ard figures as one of the crowd that
ruled not wisely nor too well.
The public is reminded that, even if
elections were held there as in the
states, members of the legislature
chosen in November could not get from
the north into Juneau in time for the
meeting of the legislature in January.
No plan yet suggested for the terri
tory contemplates county government;
and yet the Record submits that nine
tenths of the government of the United
States of America is performed under
county authority, or divisions of the
county.
In addition. the editor Of the Record
points out that local conditions there
make impossible the operation of laws
applicable to other parts of the coun-
try; and he openly expresses the be-
lief that the clamor for local govern
ment and elections, and the general ma
chinery of a state. would profit only
newspapers in legal advertising-an is
patriotic enough to ignore that induce
ment.
If the Alaska Record expresses the
sentiment of representative men OF
Alaska, the bill now before Congress for
modified form of local control there
would be unwise, and by no means help
full to the people.

THEY ARE NOT PROUD OF
MORETON.

There is a certain satisfaction in the
formula: i told you SOL" The Herald
Republican advised against the cleo
ton of John B. Moreton, it will be re-
memberad. And now the people who
took him out of one office and landed
him in another wish they had accepted
this papers advice.
For there is one of the troubles of the
present administration. John isn't a
bad man when he is asleep. but he
doesn't sleep enough. Any one who
could invent a method of keeping him
in the land of dreams about twenty
three hours a day would confer a great
favor on the best friends of the party
10 which he belongs. And it would save
money.
There is a certain sort of citizen who
lacks entirely the sense of right and
wrong; and Moreton is in some degree
related TO that sort. There is a sort
which. in a given number of chances,
always does the wrong thing. And
John B. seems capable of claiming kin
with them.
And there is a certain type with yell
low streaks as wide as a slab of bacon
all the way from head to heel. And
this perennial pest of office. this
jumper from job to job like the festive
buzzard. certainly halls from the home
of the Saffron Sisters.
For the men who made him are not
proud of Moret0n.

A GREEK ACTOR IN SALT LAKE.

Prominent members of the Greek col
ony in this city have arranged for the
Salt Lake theatre on the evening of
Tuesday, March fifteenth, for the ap-
pearance Of Professor Lecatza, a Greek,
who will present a program that should
possess unusual interest for our people.
We may confidently expect the Greek
people to witness his performance; but
it should attract, also, a very large
number of the more thoughtful and dis
eliminating of those Americans whose
acquaintance with the Greek is more
limited.
Professor Lecatza comes with appro-
val from both royalty and people in
Greece, and from successes in London
and Boston. He will render a number
of scenes from Shakespeare's plays,
some in English, and others in Greek;
and in the latter tongue will present
scenes from famous writers of his own
nation.
The man represents a type possibly
unlike the mental picture some readers
may have OF the Greek. The unques-
toned culture of his nation, its mighty
influence in dramatic and all other arts
which have so enriched the world, and
his long intercourse with famous men
of his own and other capitals-these
are the credentials of Professor Lecatza.
And we hope that thoughtful people,
both young and old, will attend his lit
tie recital

THE EXODUS AND THE
WILDERNESS,

Any of you who happen TO have the
National Geographic Magazine must
have been interested in the recent arti-
Gle by Franklin E. Hoskins-an Illus
trated story of research over the route
followed by the Children of ISRAEL in
their tourney from Egypt TO Canaan.
People who don't happen to have the
magazine, are missing something OF
value.
To one who doesn't follow Biblical
criticism very closely, Mr.. Hoskins'
article is especially interesting in that
il makes the crossing of the Red Sea
a less mighty event than juvenile in
struction had suggested. The childish
Imagination is usually impressed with
the idea of q long march across the
broad bed of the sea. with a wall OF
waters on the rignt hand and another
on the left Bible students will under
stand the basis for that impression.
But if there is any merit in this later
research, the crossing was made pretty
close to the EXTREMIST northern point of
the Gulf of Suez and not across the Red
Sea proper. at all.
Another rather welcome bit of infor-
nation is that relating to numbers. Mr..
Hoskins may not be supported by all
or many scholars; but he makes the
numbers of these leaving Egyptian
bondage much smaller than has been
accepted for a good many years by the
faithful. Instead of the six hundred
thousand fighting men VINO are credited
TO the hosts, and who must have repre-
sented a total population of Yearly or
quite three million, people. this author
and Petrie, as well-believes the word
Thousand" really means group or
family" And considering the proba-
bilities of the case, that also is d vel
come bit of information.
Modern readers do not find these
facts with a sense of relief at escape
from accepting the theory of miracles,
because it would have been more of a
miracle to take care of three million
people than to have crossed the Red Sea
in its widest part. But one has so abid-
ing a love for the Bible, and for the
statements it contains, that one wants
To find good in them. And that means
that evident impossibilities do not help
the student.
Also. the miracles are not necessary
TO a reverent acceptance of the scrip
lures, or the lesson of the Bibles big
characters. 1t is better to believe that
one doesn't understand the things that
are palpably impossible; that there was
some mistake in recording or transcrib-
ing-than to believe that laws were so
badly made that they had to be ser
aside.
For a perfectly all-wise God, you
know, would not have made laws that
would need suspension. He would have
performed the greater miracle of so
making them that they neither could be
changed, nor need be changed.

their savings win be kept safely, and
faithfully returned on demand.
Nothing in all this world so strength
ems the anarchist tendency as a failure
of a bank in which poor people have
deposited their bitterly hard-earned
money.
Besides. there are a good many people
already thrifty, who make their savings,
and hoard the money. They lose it
sometimes, and they never get any in
terest on it. The postal savings bank
would, it is believed, induce them to
deposit their savings-and a great deal
of money now withdrawn from circula-
ton, would certainly and permanently
find its way into the channels of trade

GOOD FOR THE METHooIsTs.

Once more let us speak of that series
of articles called "A Circuit Riders

sister in New York. She saw a good

cause it has never been sanctified by

these people. They do not love God
they do not care, or know, or believe
that He loves them.
That must be comforting to the good
Methodists. The woman had never
been very deeply impressed with her
husbands theology. But when she got
away from the sound of old sermons
she felt the spiritual need of them-and

gospel of her youth.

WHAT ALASKA WANTS.

Some very welcome light on the Alas
ka situation will be cleaned from recent
copies of the Alaska Daily Record, a
Juneau paper just received.
For years a strong movement looking
toward local home government for
Alaska has been understood to exist
The Record is not in favor of the plan,
and presents some very strong argu-
ments against it. and in favor of an
even more complete national govern
ment control of the territory. From
these arguments we are led to
believe that unless the govern
ment at Washington maintains
its hold, the cities of Alaska viii be
ruled by their worst characters. And
in support of that doctrine. the Record
tells of numbers of instances in which
the cities have been left TO their own
devices, when they have been robbed
by gamblers in office and outlaws in
power. And it may be interesting to
add that our much-discussed Tex Rick

1t must be quiet town when society

prominent people stand and discuss the

And at that, men are in more danger
from women's eyes than from the

DID NOT SLIDE OUT Of PLACE
Famous Leaning Tower of Pisa Built
as 1t Now Stands.

New York, July 27.-Whether the
famous leaning tower of Pisa was
built that way or accidentally slid out
of the perpendicular has long been a
subject of controversy. Professor
William H. Goodyear, curator of tha
Brooklyn Museum of Art, has just re-
turned from a trip abroad, undertaken
for the purpose of making measure
ments and surveys which would de-
termine definitely the point in ques-
ton. ....
81 am convinced that the obliquity
of the tower was according to the de-
sign of the architect" he said in an
interview. 1.-The tower stands in a
shallow, well shaped construction of
masonry. I made exhaustive measure
ments, particularly in the spiral stair
way, taking the distances on each side
of every step for the entire height Of
the tower. These measurements are
of remarkable interest as regards Sc
quence and graduation and are not COM
patible with accidental obliquity. To
my mind they establish beyond debate
that the tower was built to lean"

NO DANGER OF A
WAR WITH JAPAN
Secretary ot War Dickinson Says
Rumors Are Ground|ess.

New York, July 27.-"War with ia
pan is not a possibility unless wisdom
is discarded" says Secretary of War
Jacob M. Dickinson in a cablegram
from Manila to a New York newspa-
per in reply to a request for his views
as to the relations between the United
States and japan. - n.0..
There is nothing to warrant ru-
mors of impending strife between the
two nations" says Mr.. Dickinson.
"Those who originate them are en-
emies of mankind-are not doing a
patriotic work. The level headed peo-
pie of both countries should not only
discredit, but condemn. them. All l
heard in Japan was c%onf1rmatory of
the opinion which I had previously
reached-that there is no reason for
hostilities between the United States
and Japan and that the real interests
Of neither government could be pro
NOTED by war. Differences may arise,
but they should be settled by diplo-
macy, arbitration or IN appeal to The
Hague tribunal.
There is no sphere Of such neces-
sary antagonism as would make war
possible unless wisdom was discarded.
The United States will not seek such
a war and will resort to all honorable
means to avert it."

FEAT UPRISING IN BARCELONA
Thousands Of Troops Rushed Into
Spanish City.

Barcelona, July 27.-Owing to the
report of government spies that a
bloody revolution is imminent 10000
troops and 1000 additional gendarmes
armed with rifles and riot cartridges
occupied strategical positions all over
the city of Barcelona, which is prac-
tically under martial law, though the
constitution has not yet been suspend
ed.
Reinforcements, consisting of
trained veterans, are being held in
readiness to rush into the city. A
rigid government censorship has been
established over all press and person
al kilograms from Barcelona and it is
necessary to send them by special
courier to the frontier to have them
sent without mutilation.
Labor agitators are urging a gen.
eral strike throughout Spain, to begin
on July 20 in Barcelona.
