each of these three division de-
partment men are said to have had a
full corps of able lieutenants, who are
said to have kicked themselves and
each other if their net share of the
weekly graft fell under one hundred
and fifty dollars. These lieutenants
worked on a 20 per cent commission
basis. and paid their own expenses.
What must have been the earnings
of those higher up?' 1t does seem
incredible that such skin games as
these could be worked day after day,
and year after year, in a civilized, en-
lightened country, and yet they are.
The above are cold facts, and the
Southern Merchant is prepared to
prove them.
GO to these very merchants who
have been duped and ask them to join
a merchants association and attend
regularly the meetings; the chances
are they will join, pay their dues and
let it to the faithful few to run the
shebang. They will pay for and read
their trade paper; see where other
merchants have been grafted-but
when the next CRATER comes along
they say, 4 was too wide-awake to be
caught by the grafters that visited
here six months ago, but this is en-
tirely a different proposition-they
show they are fully trustworthy by
the very complete system they pre-
sent and are using. I will go into this
and have the laugh on my brother mer-
chant who played sucker to that other
fellows hook and without making in
vestigation of their local or State as
ISOLATION secretary, they affix their
signature to the contract and not only
part with their good money, but spend
much time in making out list of the
accounts they want collected, all Of
which soon find their way into some
pigeon-hole, there to remain until they
are crowded out and into a waste bas-
ket."

Temporary Chairman G. T. Fitzhugh,

when the highest court, despite
his (Patterson's) efforts to coerce it,
had handed down a decree which
branded his closest friend and chief
political adviser as murderer, he spat
upon and trampled under foot this
judgment, which was in accord with
law and justice and which was met

MANSHIP RELINQUISHES
THE REINS OF STATE.

Jackson, Miss, Sept. 15.-Lieutenant
Governor Manship, who has been act
ing Governor during the absence of
Governor Noel, has chucked his job.
He went to the office, read the paper,
expressed qualification over the result
of the election in Maine and turned
the affairs of state over to Private
Secretary W. ]. Buck about $50 o.
clock, about the time Governor Noel
crossed the state line on his return
home.
There has been but little for the
acting Governor t. do in the absence
of Governor Noel, except refuse par
don petition, but he has held down
the job. He was only In the executive
offices a short time this morning, as
there was nothing for him to do, but
expressed his satisfaction over the
result of the election in Maine.
81 think that's good omen," said
the Lieutenant Governor. 1t shows
the people Of the country are coming
to their senses, and indicates that
the rule Of the special privileged few
is at an end. 1t would not be at all
surprising to see other states follow
the lead of Maine in the coming cleo.

NEARING CLOSE
Major League Fans Have Been De-
prived of All Excitement In the
Way of a Close Finish.

New York, Sept. 15.-With the
American League rag COPIED by the
Philadelphia team and the National
pennant in possession of the Cubs, the
major league fans are deprived of any
excitement in the way of close fin

sational wind-ups. A notable excep-
ton was the Texas League race, re-

Several minor leagues will wind up
the 1910 season this week. and within
two weeks the curtain will be rung
down on king baseball, so far as the
minors are concerned, with the excep-
ton of the Pacific Coast League. That
organization will continue to play ball
until early in November and the finish
promises lots Of excitement. At pres
emit, four of the six teams have a
chance at the pennant.
The Eastern League, in which Roch-
ester and Newark are fighting for
supremacy, will wind up ten days
hence. Minneapolis has the Ameri-
can Association flag safely nailed to
the post and the last ten days of play
will make no difference in the pen

COMMISSION IS PLEASED
With VISIT IN BEMIDJI
Members State Tax Board Consulted
With County Board.-Armson Not
GubernatOriaI Candidate.

J. G. Armson, chairman; 0. M.
Hall and Samuel Lord, constituting
the membership of the Minnesota
State Tax commission, have visited
and consulted with the members of
the Beltrami board of county COM
missioners, in their "trip around
the circle" of northern Minnesota
counties, and their counsel as to
methods to pursue in obtaining
equal and just assessments and taxes
has been of much value to local
officers.
Speaking of the conditions in Bel
trami county, with relation to tax
matters, Chairman Armson said:
You appear to have a county
board, now, that is DESTROYS of doing
all that's possible economically and
conservatively transact the business
of the county, and put the county to
no greater expense than is absolutely
necessary, and still to allow the
natural expansion and official
growth of the county along progress
sive lines:
AS we have Impressed upon all
county officials in this section, your
board appears to be already imbued
with the commendable idea that
assessments should be equal and
fair and taxation equally distributed
also in fair and impartial manner.
That is all that we, as members of
the State Tax commission, desire,
and we hope that you will have no
further trouble along these lines"
Of late there has been much talk
of the available timber in the
democratic party for the gubernator-
ial candidacy, and few local peo-
pie intlmated that Mr.. Armson
might be in the limelight of the So
