MARK TWAIN ON
COL. ROOSEVELT

Characteristic Manuscript Found
Among Papers of Dead Humorist
Recently Collected In New York For
Disposal at Auction Sale.
New York, Feb, A.-Books that
were owned and manuscripts that
were written by Samuel l.. Clemens
(Mark Twain). collected here for dis
posal at auction at an early date. are
found to contain some excellent in
dicatons of the late authors methods
OF work. An interesting and compar-
atively recent document refers to Col
Theodore Roosevelt.
One of the early manuscripts is
a page OF notes for an outline of a
portion Of the story Of Huckleberry
Finn, which relates to the fight in the
cave. Among the notes are written
quarrel, f1ht, Peter knocked down
with Toms shovel. Joe rushes in and
stabs DR.. Potter insensible. Joe wfll
bury DR.. in Toms hole and will
make Potter thing he is accessory.
Finds treasure-goes and hides it
returns and finds p, up. No use to
bury body for Potter thinks he did it."
Among the other manuscripts is
one described as IAN article on the
Inauguration of President Taft and
the deliverance of the country from
Mr.. Roosevelt" dated March 6, 1909.
A portion of it follows:
Astronomers assure us that the
attraction of gravitation on the sur
times as powerful as is the force at
the earth's surface; and that the
object which weighs 217 pounds
elsewhere would weigh 5000 pounds
there. For seven years this country
has lain smothering under bur-
den like that, the incubus represent
ing, in the person of President Roo
sevelt, the difference between PIT
pounds and 5000. Thanks be, we
got rid of this disastrous burden day
before yesterday, at sast! for ever?
Probably not. Probably only for a
brief breathing SPELL wherein, under
Mr.. Taft, we may hope to get back
some of our hcalth-four years. We
may expect to have Mr.. Roosevelt sit
ting on us again with his twenty eight
times the weight Of any other presi-
dental burden that hostile provi-
dence would impose upon us for our
sins"
Our people have adored this showy
charlatan as perhaps no imposter of
his breed has been adored since the
golden calf; SO it is to be expected
that the nation will want him back
again after he is done hunting other
wild animals heroically in Africa, with
the safeguards and advertising equip
ment of park OF artillery and a
brass band"

Poultry Pays Well.

To read about the care of fowls m
detail makes 1t seem quite lot of
work, but when once you get started
and give your poultry the same care
you do other stock there is nothing
on the farm that Will pay as well for
The money invested.

BY all means stop the girls from
tramping the streets and likewise
rid the public of ssmashers.,
Bemidji boys and girls are no
worse than those in other towns.
They need advise. training and re-
strictions, and if their parents are
unable to offer such care, the muni-
cipality should.
And be it said to the credit of Be
midi that steps have been taken
and are continuing along this line.
In different instances maynard girls
have been taken in, charge ami from
now on will be properly taken care
of, while serious effort seems to be
on to reduce the conditions which
have made necessary the present

GIRLS ON THE STREETS Is

) No one appeared astonished when
Attorney M. J. Brown in open court
yesterday made the charge that
young girls are roaming the streets
of Bemidji, particularly at night.
Only few days ago the Pioneer
called attention to the fact that the
children Of the city were paying lit
tie heed to the curfew bell.
A few days before that the Bel
trami county grand jury had called
attention to the evil
Then came Attorney Brown, urg-
ing as one reason for leniency of his
client, who admitted charges made
by a girl not yet 16 years old who
has won the title of common street
walker, that conditions here invite
just such crimes. s~
There has been too many such
cases in Bemidji this summer and
while the mercy of the court in the
case up yesterday appears to have
been justified, the young mans in
generation in the county jail for
three months may have a good effect.
It is a bad thing for girls to roam
the streets but it is worse for a
grown man to encourage such chill
dren in their shocking antics.
The sight of a juvenile harlot is
pathetic; the sight of the cigaret
smoking, street corner hoodlum who
poses as a neat and natty "masher''

IT IS YOUR FIGHT.

Charles Hayden a delgate from
Blackjack to the Northern Mime
sofa Development associations con-
vention to be held at St.. Cloud in
December, in a letter published in
this issue of the Pioneer, expresses
the conviction that we ought, if pos
sible, to have immediate reapportion-
ment, but is skeptical over the pres
ent move to have an extra session of
the legislature convened and init
mates alarm that an effort is on to
put Governor Eberhart in hole.
Once more we wish to say, and say
it with all the emphasis our limited
command of the English language
will permit, that in it's present cam
paign the Daily Pioneer is actuated
only by the desire that the North be
promptly given a decent representa-
ton in the legislature.
This paper had tried to make it's
readers understand that the present
move must be your own fight. If
you are satisfied that $4,000 persons
in the South are entitled to repre-
sentative when it takes 10000, and
more, in the North for the same
privilege, gather under the banner
of General Indifference, and let it go
at that.
In it's present move the Pioneer
has no more to gain than any other
Northern Minnesota enterprise. 1t
strives to be live newspaper and in
this campaign it is taking on addi-
ton burdens; added expense and
added work-and that means good
deal for a daily publication in
town the size of Bemidji-to bring
home to the people of the North the
peril of permitting the last oppor-
tunity they will have until 1917 to
secure a respectable representation
at St. Paul. In 1917, the first ses-
sion following the next state census,
the same old fights that now are be-
ing fought, would have to be waged
again. -.-.z : IN -
We are not in this fight to aid or
detract from the political ambitions
of any man, but if the friends of
Governor Eberhart wish to do him
the greatest service possible they
could do no better, in the opinion of
