purpose of securing the services of
one of Norway's foremost men in
literature, art and science to make a
tour of this country and deliver
lectures or give concerts in all
cities where the Norwegian popula-
ton would be large enough to get
up an audience, thereby bringing a
small part of Norway over to US.
Last year Captain Angel of the
Norwegian Artillery was the man
selected. -.>. .....s.
He delivered lectures on the poll
tical situation in 19O5-19O7 and
made a great success of it. In spite
of great efforts it was impossible
to get him to- Bemidji. The man
chosen for this season is Hr. Axel
Maurer- of Kristiana, the capital
city of Norway, a man who has won
for himself name as man of litera-
ture. Through anearnest effort made
by the local lodge of the Sons of
Norway Hr. Axel Maurer has been
booked for Bemidji at the City
Opera House on Saturday evening
April 10Th, at $50 in the evening.
No man, woman or child, who can
understand either one of the Scandi-
navian languages should lose the
opportunity to hear Hr. Maurer. It
will be treat. Don't forget the
date.

NORTHOME news.

Northome, April II. - Especial
to Pioneer. )-Island lake, one of
Northern Minnesota's natural beauty
spots, about three and one-half miles
north of Northome, will be an at
traction to visitors this summer.
The Mclaughlin Timber Co., which
owns considerable land on the south
shore, proposes to establish sum-
mer resort there, and among the
improvements to be made will be
the erection of clubhouse, boat
houses, dock, etc., to make the
place attractive -.
Many visitors and outing parties
are drawn to Island lake every sum-
mer on account of its natural beauty
and the excellent boating and fish,
ing to be had there. Several parties
have already spoken for lots and it
is expected that quite a number of
cottages will be erected at the pro-
posed summer resort this season.

ANOTHER COMPLIMENT.

The editor of the Sentinel Demo
crat in his last issue with reference
to the Poor House controversy
says of us:
1T is no news to our people that
the editor of the Advocate puts
dollars above men and above hu-
mainly: but we were surprised
that he should openly in his pa
per, by inference, at least, assert
that our Fiscal Court should in de-
termining who should care for the
unfortunates of the county, con-
slider NOTHING EXCEPT DOLLARS
AND CENTS"
Sometimes ii is helpful for a
man to see himself as others see
him. We hope that the editor OF
the SD. is not spokesman for this
community. We made no sucf
assertion either directly or indi
rectly, by inference or otherwise

COUNTY UNIT BILL.

Prior to Saturday the advocates
of this bill in the Legislature have
not been As successful as they
wished to be: but on Saturday the
Committee on Rules took charge
of ALL bills. The first bill called
out was the Waggoner County
Unit bill. which provides that in
ALL the counties a majority vote
of the entire county in favor Of
closing the saloons applies to the
entire county. even though the
majority of the votes in the CITIES
is in favor of the sale of liquor.
The bill carried by vote of 81
to rs, and now the Senate. tc
which it was reported on Monday
must act. Thus far such a bill il
the Senate has been defeated.
We wish it may be adopted by
the Senate.

OUR READERS CAN DECIDE

The editor of the SD. evident.
" sees that in the publications
concerning the Poor House con-
tract he has failed to make good,
and now seeks to turn the atten-
ton of the readers of his paper
from the real issue to the editor of
the Advocate. Such procedure
gives him away.
In his paper TWO weeks ago he
would have his readers believe
that the utterances of the Advo-
cate were the opinions of ma
chine BOSSES" In his issue LAST
week he says: I'VE readily grant
to the editor of the Advocate the
true paternity Of the editorials on
the Poor House question; and
after reading them we feel fully
justified in assuring him that no
sane man will contest that doubt
ful honor with him"
Our readers who have been in
tcrested in this question can readi
ly decide as to the merits Of what
we have said.
Even if we were dull of compre-
hcnsion, obscure in verbal ex-
preston, ugly, pigeon-toed, bow
legged, cross-eyed and have his
bump Of a billy goat on our back, y"
what has such imperfections to do
with the action of the majority Of
the Fiscal Court letting the Poor
House Contract to a bidder whose
bid was from $500 to 1850 more
expensive than the rejected bid,
and whose action the SD. seeks
to Justify, without explanation.

ADVICE TO NEWSPAPER
MEN.

At the meeting of the Eastern
Michigan Press Club Mr.. A. E.
Meigs delivered a speech from
which we take some excerpts for
the benefit Of brethren of the press
of Kentucky. If Mr.. Meigs'
views are followed the members
of the newspaper profession will
take the rank to which they are
entitled. He said:
There is no profession more
honorable or more exacting than
yours. To it you must contribute
your brains best product and you
should dignity it. The politician
should see you in your office and
YOU not be subject to his call.
Your place of business is accessi-
BILE and should be the place to con-
suit with you when any man
wishes to use your columns. Then
too, your space, like the goods on
the merchants shelves and count
ers, is for sale for all legitimate
purposes. Why should you give
it away!
There is no institution in town
that can do as much for It's growth
prosperity and the peace and hap
piness of the people as the news
paper. The teachers in your
schools devote about three months
to each of two terms per year to
educate the young. The paper as
an educational factor devotes SO
weeks of each year to the cause,
for every such paper is an educa-
tor as well as a purveyor of news,
and the towns historian.
Your paper is worth more than
the subscription price, which you
should receive promptly. When
the reader does not pay him in adj
vance you are practically loaning
him your money without interest.
A single issue is often worth more
to a reader than a years subscrip-
ton.
No man works harder to earn
his money than you do. 1t is
well earned and value received is
given to every penny of it that
comes to you. 1t should not be
slow in coming any more than
should your meals.
Educate your clientage to the
fact that you are a producer, a
builder and entitled to a position
among the best in your commune
ty and to the money you earn.

We have not heard all the de-
tails about that rat alley Saturday
night conflict between the police
and negro crap shooters, and the
many shots fired later when an ar
rested negro escaped from po-
lice. We hear that Policemen
Hinson and Turner were both
knocked down. They have an un-
savory job and should be very
cautious how they tackle such az
gregations.

Wise Rats.

The depreciation of rats in his
chicken yard caused Harry A. Lehr OF
York, Pa, to spread rat poison be-
meath the floor Of his chicken coop.
Instead Of eating the poison the rats
removed it to different parts of the
yard. The next morning it was eaten
by the fowls. as a result of which Mr..
Lehr's flock of chickens is largely de-
creased.

SCHOOL SUFFRAGE FO r
WOMEN.

On Tuesday night, FEBRUARY 10,
number of men and women ap.
peared before the House Commit
tee on Suffrage and Elections to
make a plea for the bill granting
to women the right to vote in all
matters pertaining to schools.
Among those who spoke were
Misses Sue Bennett, of Richmond;
Laura Clay, of Lexington; Mrs.
Leach, of Louisville; Sam Roberts,
of the Lexington Leader; Desha
Breckenridge, of the Lexington
Herald; Superintendent of Public
Instructio Crabbe and others.
After their pleas had been made
the committee adjourned without
taking any action thereon. We
quote from the Lexington Herald
of February II, which had a
lengthy editorial on the subject:
But we will confess it excited
our most intense Indignation to see
such women as there were before
that committee pleading with a
committee of Kentucky men, rep
resenting counties in every one of
which the women are doing as
good, probably better, work for
the public good than the men, treat
that plea with utter indifference
and what We consider to be gross
discourtesy.
1T does not do any good to get
angry or indignant with those
whose action is due either to igno-
rance. or lack of intelligence, to
prejudice, or to orders from others.
But we wish that committee could
see itself as others see it-that the
State could see in direct COMPARE
son those who advocate woman's
suffrage and those who oppose it.
y
Yet their plea had no effect on
the intelligence or the purpose of
the committee, which is composed
of men supposed to represent the
whole people of the State.
I'VE have heretofore not been
in favor of full suffrage for women.
We are now in favor of full suff-
rage for women. We are ready to
fight for it, to fight with those who
want it and if need be to fight
those who are opposed to it; ready
to help educate the rest of the
State to share our views and see
whether it will not bring about
such a change in Kentucky that
the real interests of the people are
the main consideration of those
who hold representative positions,
and that appeals can be made to
reason instead of only to self-in-
terest."
If the decision of this question
were left to us, we would give to
women the right to vote-not only
on school propositions but on ALL
questions which are decided by
popular vote. We cheerfully
open our columns for the express
sions of views for or against full
suffrage for women.
