SHAME ON you, STEPHENS!

How dare former Senator Steph-

such testimony?
And for political reasons, too.
Girls stripped of their clothing
and beaten until blood oozed from
wounds which were part of the
Frank A. Whittier system for train

1t isn't fair Mr.. Stephens for you
for political, or any other reason to
offer these mangled maidens as
witnesses:
Wasn't it bad enough that they
should be hammered with rubber
hose, thrown into bedless, chair
less den. to grovel in the dirt for a
days At time?
Wasn't this bad enough without
making ii public?
Verify, :he Crookston man is ag-
gravating.
If he keeps on he will spoil the
party after all.
In theN meantime, friends of Mr..
Whittier had better renew their
prayers for his precious scalp.

THAT GOOD ROADS Meeting:

The good roads meeting to be
held here July rs will be big

With farmers growing more grain
that must hauled to market than
ever before; with school districts
planning on consolidation and with
the very future life of this North

improved highways, it needs : no
Willing J. Bryan to discover that
good roads is the paramount issue.

thriving new villages, prosperous
farmers and a general improvement
in all lines of business are possible
results of the Bemidji gathering.
Here is chance to do some prac-

Don's Be Foolish.

Do not, for moment, suppose that
your advertising will not pay you in
your local paper and still less pay
attention to any lack of success you
have had in the past in this respect
You have not gone about the matter
in the right way. Let me tell you
how you can make your advertising
4 success and convert your local
newspaper into the finest possible
salesman you could get on this fair
earth. .
There are four points to this local
newspaper. advertising question.
First, you must be able to buy your
space at the right price, and 1 will
say that have found very few pa
pers in the United States, after a
long experience of them, which
charge too much for their space to
local merchants.

the SCHOOL ELECTION.

On saturday evening, at seven
O'Clock, the annual school meeting
of Bemidji will be held at the Central
School House, for the purpose of Sc
Letting three directors, one for the
term of two years and two for the
term of three years.
The directors whose terms of office
expire are A. A. Warfield, J. P. Lair
and S. J. Harvey.
Mr.. Warfield has served for six
years, and absolutely declines to be
candidate for reelection. Mr..
Harvey likewise declines to be can
didate.
J. P. Lair is willing to serve for
an additional term. His services have
been of such a character that he will
undoubtedly receive the heartiest
support of all those who appreciate
able service for the betterment of our
schools.
A. G. Wedge and K. K. Roe have
signitied their willingness to serve
as members of the board, and a united
effort is now being made by many of
our leading citizens to see the ticket
composed Of J. P. Lair, X. X. Roe
and A. G. Wedge is properly endorsed
tomorrow evening.
We feel that the people of Be-
midi would indeed be fortunate to
secure the services of these
three men in carrying on the good
work done in the past by the present
board. Nothing is of higher import
ance to the welfare of our city than
a proper and intelligent management
of our schools. Notwithstanding the
present high standard of efficiency in
our schools, the people of Bemidji
have always felt that they should
persistantly strive to raise that
standard and that men should
be selected for the management
of our schools who will not
permit politics, friendship or hope
of personal gain to influence their
official action.
The Daily Pioneer believes that
the three men who are now proposed
as candidates for these important
Offices meet all these requirements,
and we urge their selection.
Every man and woman in Bemidji
owes an absolute duty to take an
active interest in the selection of
our school officers, and the man or
woman who stays at Nome and fails
to vote on this question has no right
to complain if designing persons fill
these Offices with men who do not
understand that such an office is
sacred trust.

And childhood with
It's brown of truth;
The rich, the poor, on land and sea
Where will the mighty millions be,
A hundred years to come?
We all within our graves will sleep,
A hundred years to come;
No living soul for us will weep,
A hundred years to come;
And others then
Our lands will till,
And other men
Our homes will fill,
And other birds will sing as gay,
And bright the sun shine as today,

BY DUNDAS HENDERSON,


When merchant hears of Mrs.
Jones buying few things from the
mail order house in the far away
big city he permits howl to es-
cape him. He characterizes Mrs.
Jones as a bad neighbor and asks
the surrounding space what he is
paying taxes for-if it is to help
his neighbors bolster up those con-
demned mail order concerns. He
remarks to the storekeeper next door
that there should be law passed
compelling people to spend their
money il. the community in which
they make it. -.
Five minutes after he has ex-
hausted himself in his TRADE against
the inquiry of Mrs. Jones buying
her goods away from home he is pay
ing close attention to glib sales
man who is selling him a bunch of
pretty calendars got out by a New
York concern. Or maybe the goods
that he is purchasing are advertising
novelties, the kind that is guar
anteed to bring so much solid ever
lasting success that it is wonder
there are so many bill collectors
travelling around all the while.
Count the salesman who have called
in you during the past year and Of

of some person in a far away town

Sauce for the Gander.
What is sauce for the goose is
sauce for the gander. If it is a
heinous crime for Mrs. Jones to
spend her money outside the town
in which she or her husband have
made it, it is just as serious for a
merchant to buy advertising from an
outside schemer, when he has right
in his own community the means
of getting the best advertising value
if he only uses that means in the
right way. -
In every town worthy of the name
in this country there exists one or
more local newspapers. In some
cases the circulation of those jour-
nails is small. They have struggle

five cases out of one hundred these
papers do not pay at all. The pub
fishers rely on other business, such
as Job printing, to reimburse them
for their labor. More often than not
it is labor of love. No more con-
scientious set of men exist than the
country newspaper editors. Does it
not therefore seem to you that those
men and their papers are deserving
of all the support you can give them?

space. Here again most merchants
fall down. Buying piece of land
about three feet by two to make an
income by farming would be folly,
would it not?, Purchasing space in
a newspaper that is inadequate to
contain a pulling advertisement of

worse folly. The merchant who
spends less than five per cent of his
income on advertising is losing mon

foolish" l..
Third, you must take space for a
long enough time to give the adver-
tisement a chance. If you planted a
piece of land with seed potatoes you
would not dig them up at the end of
two months, would you? No, you
would give them time to produce a
crop. 1t is the same with advertise
ing, you must give it time to produce
paying results. If you cannot take
space in your local newspaper for one
year leave it alone till you have more
knowledge and better sense.
Must Use it Right.
Last, but not least, you must put
into the space you have bought,
craftsmanship that will make most use
of it-give it, in fact, one hundred
per cent value. You do this for two
reasons, one because you are bust
ness man and want to get full value
for the money you pay out and, Sec
ond, because you desire all the re-
suits you can get by safest and quick

merated can very easily be attended
to by the average local retailer with
the aid of his friend the newspaper
man, but the salesmanship in the
space bought is best left to an expert

If some one were to come into your
store and offer you the services of a
high grade city salesman for a sum
that you usually spend on cigars

here last Sunday with the usual re-
sult-Pasco 4, Kennewick 2. The
game was not advertised and the
handful of spectators who turned
out found it about as exciting as a
session of the old ladies' sewing
circle. Kennewick got six hits off
Siemen and made eight errors.
Pasco hit safely eight times and
made one misplay. Larkin struck
out nine and gave no passes. Sic
men famed four, gave one base on
balls and hit one batter.
There is some talk of a game
with Prosser week from Sunday.
That would be fne-for Prosser.
