STEWART LIKES Stone BILL
Beltrami County Superintendent of
Schools Thinks Plan Good One.

In an interview this morning with
a representative of the Pioneer, w.
B. Stewart, superintendent of the
Beltrami county schools, gave out
the following opinion in regard to
the Stone measure which is now be-
fore the House of Representatives,
and which has as it's chief clause
the consolidation of the rural schotl
districts in minnesota: ssThe bill
is alright, and deals with what soon
er or later will naturally result from
the present condition of things. The
only way to secure equality of Cd.
portunity is for the state to offer in.
ducements that will bring about
conditions possible for giving rura
school children the advantage offer
ed by the larger schools. In m,
opinion the rural school should bt
a social and Industrial centre as vel
as an educational one. This bill
tends toward such an. end. thinl
there are some clauses which will b,
somewhat changed

of Bemidji to Elect Him Presi-

Petitions of both George Kirk, the
present alderman at large and L. F.
Johnson, are being circulated today
as candidates for alderman at large,
but it is the opinion OF many that
only one Of the petitions will be fled
1t was decided at one time by Mr..
johnson that he would not enter the
fight if Mr.. Kirk felt that he would
like to ask for his. reelection. But
the friends of Johnson would not al
low his name to be withdrawn from
the race, and as his petition is lack
ing only five or six names of being
complete it is more than probable
that he will be a candidate. Mr..
Kinks petition is being circulated
and is about half complete.
1t is now evident that Thomas Ma
10y, who has for several years been
city clerk, will be candidate for the
position of alderman at large, as his
petition is being circulated today.
Many petitions have been filed
with the city clerk by the various
candidates for city Offices, and are as
follows:

GREAT INFLUX OF SETTLERS
Many Will Settle in And Around Be.
midi During 1911.

The large tract of land which has
been placed on sale by the Crookston
Lumber Company at practically the
same conditions under which state
lands are sold, has caused great in
fux of settlers from this and neigh
boring states, who have purchased
strips of land upon which they will
make their future homes n
Letters are being received daily
by the secretary of the commercial
club in regard to this land, among
which is one from a Methodist pastor
at Arcade, N. Y, who writes to the
effect that he and members of his
congregation may come to northern
Minnesota to make their homes here.
The placing of this large tract of
land on sale by the Crookston lumber
company at low rates will materially
assist in solving the problem of in
ducing settlers to come to northern
Minnesota and means much for Bel
trami county and Bemidji.
Among those who have already
purchased tracts of land on the twen-
ty-year payment plan are the fol-
lowing:
S. B. Porter, Grand Forks, N. D.;

BASKET BALL TONIGHT
Walker and Bemidji High School
Fives Will Clash in Armory.

At the Armory this evening the
basket ball quints representing the
Walker and Bemidji high schools
will clash for the first time this sea-
son. -.r
Walker, according to reports from
teams who have met and gone down
to defeat before them, has one of the
fastest basketball fves in this part of
the state, and they are coming to
Bemidji this evening with a deter
mination to win.
Coach Robinson of the Bemidji
team has changed the lineup of the
team little and believes that the
differnce will strengthen the five
considerable. Peck, who is playing his
first year of basketball, but who has
started during the last three football
seasons at tackle and half back, will
be given chance this evening at
guard, and the coach feels that he
will more than hold his own with
the Walker forward. The Be-
midi lineup in the evenings con-
test will be as follows: Larson
(captain) centre; MoritE and Bailey,
forwards and Spencer and Peck,
guards.
The game will be called At 8

DENY THOMPSON LICENSE
Blackduck Council In Exciting Ses
sion Hold Applicant Unfit.

At a meeting of the Blackduck
city council last evening two appli-
cations for liquor licenses were
brought before the council and one
accepted, the other refused.
The application of Mat Thompson,
was bitterly fought. Thirty busi-
ness men of Blackduck had signed a
petition and rendered it to the coun-
Gil to the effect that they believed
Thompson an unfit man to hold a
liquor selling license.
Every signer of the petition was
present at the meeting of the council
and several of them spoke, telling
why they believed Thompson unfit
to hold license. M. J. Reed, one
of Blackduck's most prominent busi-
ness men said: II do not want to do
away with saloons in Blackjack, for
I am just selfish enough to believe
that they help my business, but ]
do believe that to have such men as
Mr.. Thompson operating a saloon in
our city that it not only hurts the
city and business in general but II
hurts the business being done by the
other Saloons"
Not one of the signers of the peti-
tion were pastors or salon men, none
of the signers being men who would
naturally be against the granting o1
the license.
Several of the councilmen were al
first inclined to grant the license
even with the objections of the busi.
ness men, on the grounds that all Of
the saloon keepers were violaters o:
the law. 1t was decided, however
that the license should not be grant
ed.
There are at present eleven sa
looms doing business in Blackjack.
Attorney Torrance, of this city
represented the business men at tn,
meeting, while B. T. Wilson, tn,

Will Decide Whether Primary Law

Crookston Banker.
JUDGE sPooNER VISITS CAPITOL
DR.. Stone Introduces Bill Which Aims
to Wipe Out White Slavery In
... Minnesota. .

(By z. A. WILSON,
Be1nidji Pioneer Lsg1s1ativs Bureau
st. Paul, Feb. Sit is only ques-
tion of few days before it will be
known whether Andrew Stephens,
the old time Republican power of
the state senate, Is to again occupy
his seat or whether John saugstad
of Climax shall continue as a sena-
tor -.-
Mr.. Stephens, who is exceedingly
reticient, is at the capitol nearly
every day and he has host of fol-
lowers who receive him cordially.
''There is really but one important
question to be decided by this con-
test" said Mr.. Stephens, stand that
is whether or not the primary law is
to count for anything.
"In the present controversy I
stand as the man who was the reg
ular nominee of the party. My op-
ponent refused to accept the voice
of the party and went into the elec-
tion with 'stickers.,
Mr.. Stephens realizes that the
elections committee y against him
and that the report of this committee
to the senate is that he is not
entitled to seat In the senate, but
nevertheless Mr.. Stephens still be-
lieves that his chances of being de-
clared the rightful senator from the
Crookston district are exceedingly
bright. He believes the senate will
vote down the committee report and
that this will be followed by vote
in his favor.
It is likely that the vote will be
close and the general impression
about the capitol is Mr.. -Saugstad
will not be thrown out.
It had been planned to bring about
a vote of this contest yesterday but
jangle over the -Fros-
haug contest in the senate chamber
Wednesday, upset the program and
it will not be voted upon until next
Tuesday, the elections committee
having made report.

White Slavery will be a precari-
GUS proposition in Minnesota under
the provisions of bill given to the
house by DR.. W. T. Stone of Park
Rapids. The measure is exhaustive,
covering three typewriter pages
and provides punishment of from
two to twenty years in the peniten-
tiary and a fine as high as $4,000 for
the conviction of either men or wo-
men guilty of traffic in girls.
Senator Dwinnel of Minneapolis
has a bill in which it makes it un.
lawful for any person in Minnesota
under the age of sixteen years tc
operate an automobile. 1t also re.
quires all persons operating motor
machines to secure license, the
first cost to be 81, with so cents fol

BEMIDJI, MINNES
briefly in opposition of the resolu-
ton. 81 have been trying to figure
out during all this debate" he said,
why the resolution fixes the mem
bership at 63 senators and 1926 re-
presentatives. That is all there is
to it. Why 63?"
According to the rules, it is i'm
possible to have a roll call while the
senate is acting as committee of
the whole so after Chairman Dunn
had put Senator Works motion,
calling for an indefinite postpone
ment of the Hackney resolution, for
viva voce vote, and being in doubt
as to whether the yeas and nays was
the loudest, called for rising vote
and this was recorded as 81 in favor
of killing the resolution to 29 op-
posed.
How A Roll Call Was Obtained.
When Lieutenant Governor Cor
don took the chair and received the
report of the senate committee of the
whole which was to the effect that
the resolution had been killed, a roll
call was demanded. This was done
to get the senators on record in the
matter, and it showed the senators
voting against the resolution, which
is taken by the general public to
mean opposition to a reapportion-
ment bill, as follows:
Nays-Anderson, Bedford, Benson,
Carpenter, eastman, Clague, Collier,
Cook, c. F., Cooke, L. O., Dale, DON
aldson, Duea, Duxbury, Glotzbach,
Handlan, Haycraft, Klein, McGrath,
Moonan, Murray, Nelson, Odell, Oh
son, Peterson, Putnam, Schaller,
Stebbins, Thoe,. Van Hoeven, Weis,

Those favoring the resolution, re-
cognized friends of reapportionment
were:
Yeas-Ahmann, Boyle, Cheadle,
Denerge, Dunn, Dwinnell, Elwell,
Fosseen, Froshaug, Gunderson, Gum,
Hackney, Hanson, Johnson, C. D.,

Rustad, Sageng, Saugstad, Sullivan,
J. D., sundberg, Swanson, Wallace,
Wilson-29.
Absent-Poehler, Rockne, G. H.
Sullivan.
Does Not Mean Defeat.
The vote does not necessarily mean
that reapportionment by the present
legislature is hopelessly lost. In
fact, champions of that measure say
that it's enemies have thrown down
the gauntlet and that for the first
time they are out in the open and
that a winning fight can now be
made. AS a result of the senate
action yesterday, Chairman Cong
don of the House committee on re-
apportionment, has let it be known
that he will hustle a reapportion-
ment bill into the House in the very
near future.
While the senate was Juggling
with reapportionment the House
transacted an important piece of
business by passing, by an over
whelming majority, the Robert c.
Dunn good roads bills. The votes
were 100 to 1 and 1O6 to 2, Repre-
sentative W. A. Campbell and Ernest
Lundeen of Minneapolis voting No
There was debate of two hours on
the measures and Mr.. Dunn made
the speech of his life in favor of his
good roads propaganda. It is sale
4by some that the passage of these
bills, together with his speech, will
make the Princeton man, some day
governor Of Minnesota. One of the
bills provides for a constitutional
amendment of levying one mil
tax to be spent by the state highwa,
commission. The other provides fo1
an annual appropriation of s15O,O0(
to be spent under supervision of tn,
commission for roads and bridges
