NICHOLAS NOW Is A KING
Montenegro Raised in Rank With
Much Ceremony.

Montenegro Raised in Rank With
Much Ceremony.
Cettinge, Sept. 1.-Montenegro has
made kingdom and king. Cettinge
presents wonderful spectacle, and
the streets of the village capital,
which are beautifully adorned with
festoons, Venetian masts and banners,
are densely crowded with a pictur-
esque throng.
The skupshtina assembled in secret
session and voted an address to Prince
Nicholas, requesting him to assume
the royal title. AS soon as this solemn
act was completed the crown prince
appeared on a balcony of the palace
and proclaimed the new kingdom to
the assembled army and people. King
Nicholas, wearing the national cos
tune, stepped upon the balcony, &C.
companied by the queen and all the
attending royal personages, and &C.
knowledged the salutations of the null
titude.
At the conclusion of the service a
salute of 101 guns was fired. Official
receptions were held, and the town re.
sounds with the strains, of military
bands and with the singing of nation
al songs.

Pettiiohn does not believe IN the pro.

A bette: plan, he declares, would be
to transfer the surplus cash in the

municipalities and school districts,
they to use it for constructing court

making other public improvements.
Governor Eberhart will do well to

Feature of Second Days Session Of
the Congress.

Feature Of Second Days Session Of
the Congress.
St. Paul. Sept 6.-The feature of
the second days session of the Ma
tional Conservation congress was the
address of former President Theodore
Roosevelt, who spoke on National Eff
fciency" The speaker gave warning
to the nation to curb the giant corpor-
atoms, which, he declared, were re-
sponsible to a large extent for waste,
destruction and monopoly of our nat
ural resources and asserted that the
time was at hand for orderly develop
ment and use, coupled with the preser-
walton of our natural resources, by
making the most of what we have for
the benefit of all of us, instead of leav-
ing the sources of material prosperity
open to indiscriminate exploitation.
On the question of state or federal
control Colonel Roosevelt declared en-
phatically in favor of the latter. The
question, he said, was raised by the
opponents of conservation in order to
cloud the issue and cause conflict of
|: Jurisdiction The question, he said, is
primarily in the interest of the great
corporations, which desire to escape
all government control. In conclusion
he said:
'sWhat this country needs is what
every free country must set before it
as the great. goal toward which it
works an equal opportunity for life,
liberty and the pursuit of happiness
for every one of it's citizens. 10
achieve this end we must put stop

dominion of great special Interests" :.

LINDBERGH AND McGARRY.

Duluth Herald: Report from the
sixth congressional district are that
while Congressman Lindbergh's re-
nomination is the most likely outcome,
P. H. McGarry's affable energetic
campaign IS no joke. and that maybe
1T would be as well for those who
wish Lindbergh to stay in congress
and keep on voting for progress to sec
to it that they all get to the primaries
Sept. 20 to vote that day.
McGarry is ikable fellow, with q
warm hand clasp and an engaging
smile, but he IS woefully shy on
declared political principles. In view
of the anxiety in standpat quarters
tor the defeat of progressives like Lind
bergh, the parentage of McGarry's
candidacy is subject to grave
suspicion.
Lindbergt, however lacking he
may be in the sort of cheap dexterity
that makes Observation-Disclosures a
political asset rather than political
liability, voted rightly IN congress, and
he should be returned. The Democrats
of his district have been good enough
to keep out OF his way because they
are satisfied with his attitude, and the
progressive Republicans should see to
it that be IS returned.
Minnesota only has three progressive
members Of congress-Lindbergh,
Hammond and Davis. It hopes to have
some more after election, but above all
the voters should see to 1t that these
three real progressives be returned to
congress to continue the work of
restoring government by and for the
people. They should give them COM
pany, too, but in seeking to gam more
support for the people in congress, they
should not forget to retain that which
they already have.

The democratic legislative ticket IN
this district Is one that will command
and deserve support. c. D. Johnson is
one OF the most popular men in Crow
Wing County. He has been resident
of Brainerd for many years, has often
been honored by his fellow citizens IN
positions OF trust and and has made
good. He will be fair to every
interest; without special privileges to
any. Mr.. johnson will make a
thorough campaign, and the more
he is known the more he will be liked.
He does not belong to nor is he the
creature of a ring, and he will go to
the senate a free man. Geo. F.
Moegle,n, one Of the leading business
men of Little Falls, whose honesty is
unquestioned and who could not be
influenced in any way by dishonest
considerations, is going to make a run

any man in the county has brought
into it so many settlers of high class
as John Schmolke has found. time to
do, besides running a big and success
full mercantile business and farming
on an extensive scale. If any man
knows what the farmer needs and
wants it is John Schmolke. This
man, who was q poor Polish boy has
by energy, hard work and thrift
acquired large interests He's one of
the largest land owners IN the county.
We believe that these three gentle.

of the best balanced tickets ever

One Sunday four memorial tablets
were unveiled at tho grave of John p.
Altgeld in Chicago. LIMOS has come
at last to revere the memory of this
great man. who was so cruelty and
unjustly mal1gned while living, and
whose fame IS growing steadily, not
only In Illinois but throughout the
nation. Time does vindlcate some
men, and it is gratifying to those who
believed IN Altgeld to see bow
steadily is growing the appreciation
of what he really was, one of the
greatest men America ever produced.
Years ago John P. Altgeld outlined a
plan of conservation OF natural
resources which was sane and practical.
which preserved for the states the
things they would be able to control.
and which gave the general govern
ment power where the states could not
enter. The best there is in the
theories OF Pinch0t and Roosevelt was
long ago presented by Altgeld, and
some day, Theodore Roosevelt, If he is
the man his worshippers claim he is,
will apologize for having in 1896 said
that Altgeld should be stood against q
stone wall and shot, That is because
Altgeld criticized the supreme court,
and yet never In, Altgeld's strongest
utterances against judicial usurpation
did he approach the criticisms OF the
same court made by Theodore
Roosevelt. The present does not
adequately appreciate John Peter
Altgeld, but when the age Of thinking
cvmbals and fanatic hero worship has
passed, his character will grow in
grandeur as it is better understood,
and his figure will loom ever more
mighty and colossal.

land gave the invocation. Governor
Eberhart welcomed the delegates on
behalf of the state of Minnesota. He
was followed by Mayor Keller, who
welcomed them in behalf of st. Paul.
Then the delegates heard the speak
er of the day-William Howard Taft,
president of the United States. The
Presidents address was followed by
that of United States Senator Nelson
of Minnesota, the subject of whose adj
dress was "Our Public Land Laws"
In his speech the president, refer
ring to the danger to the state and
people at large from the waste Of ma
tional wealth, and the need of some
one to provide remedy, gave due
credit to Theodore Roosevelt, who, he
said, took UP the task during the last
two years of his administration.
The president said he inherited the
conservation policy, that he rejoices
in the heritage, and that he will do
all he can for the cause, not as presi-
dent of party, but as president of the
whole people
Five different subjects were dis
neutrality-suspicious. lands, mineral
lands, forest lands, coal lands, oil and
gas lands and phosphate lands. Fin.
ishing with these, the subject of water
power sites was referred to and the
president outlined the arguments for
and against their control by the states
or the federal government. He re-
served his own opinion, however, and
said he would submit the whole mat
ter to congress.
Taft Pleads for Harmony.
The president deplored the tendency
to use conservation as subject for
rousing the emotions and advises that
when men come forward to suggest
evils that the promotion Of conserva-
ton is to remedy that they be invited
to point out the specific evils and the
specific remedies. He said that when
the people know exactly what is need.
ed they can then make their represen-
tatives in congress and the state leg
islatures do their intelligent bidding.
Referring to the Cunningham claims
he avoided giving any opinion, but
called attention to the fact that no
private claims for Alaskan coal lands
have yet been allowed or perfected
and that whatever the result as to
pending claims the existing coal land
laws of Alaska are most unsatisfac-
tory and should be radically amended.
On this subject the president said
the United States government has
much to answer for in not giving
proper attention to the government of
Alaska and the development of its re-
sources for the benefit of all the peo-
pie of the country.
The president placed considerable
emphasis upon the need for the avoid
ance of acrimony, imputations of bad
faith and political controversy in a
gathering of the Conservation con.
gress. Conservation, he said, is not
question of politics, or of factions, but
a matter that affects the vital welfare
of everybody.
