BAND CONCERT 4 SUCCESS
Weather Conditions Bad and Only
Small Audience Attends.

Because Of the weather conditions
only small audience listened to the
endeavors Of the Bemidji city band
last evening.
Never before has the band played
with such polish and style as it did
last evening, and those who missed
the concert certainly missed treat.
A violin solo was rendered by Mrs.
G. R. Sanborn, in her usual charm
ing manner, and that her efforts
were appreciated was shown by the
extended applause she received.
The concert was the last of the
winter indoor concerts to be given
by the band. and during the summer
weekly concerts will be given on the
dock, the same as last year.

Members Of County Boards of Bel

Meet for Such Purpose.
END OF LITIGATION MAY RESULT
attempted Settlement is of Matters
Which Should Have Been Ad-
justed Many Years Ago.

Beltrami and Clearwater counties
are making an effort to get together
and effect a compromise settle

tr1ct court, in which Beltrami coun-
ty seeks to recover from Clearwater
county a portion of the amount of
the Indebtedness Of Beltrami county
at the time Clearwater county was
created in 1902. .--.@
The county board of each county
has appointed two of it's members
Viggo Peterson and A. E. Rako for
Beltrami county, and T. O. Nelson
and Theo. Welte for Clearwater
county-to endeavor to reach a mu-
tual agreement, and these gentlemen,
with the attorneys for each county,
are today Investigating the facts in
volved.
Clearwater county contends it's
tax payers were required to and did
pay to Beltrami county taxes for
county revenue purposes, levied in
1902, in the aggregate sum of about
$4,000, which said taxes were H.
legally levied, and for which Clear
water county should now have credit.
The pending action has been before
the district court several times in
preliminary way and an order of the
district court on one of the points
involved was affirmed by the SUI

The members of the State Board of
Control are responsible for that con-
ditlon, and the sentiment of this
state should demand the resignation
OF the members of that Board save
one:
This important Board has been
either ignorant or grossly negligent.
They have shown themselves as a
result of this investigation thorough
ly incompetent and unfit for the
high duties reposed in them. An
outraged public sentiment is knock
ing at the doors of the members of
the Board of Control and demand
ing that they get out and give place
to men more fit.
The testimony shows that the only
conception of it's duties entertained
by the members of the Board of Con-
troll has been that they are mere
business agents. They have gone
on the principle that when they had
bartered for brown sugar, had
dickered for coffee by the sack, had
purchased shoes and bought supplies
and had employed state architect
for $4,000, who could probably
have been employed for $1O,OOO,or
$4,000, they performed their duty
and had done it we'll l cannot con-
ceive of body of three men in this
present day of advance thought en-
tertaining so purile and petty an
idea Of a most important duty.
While they have occupied them
selves in this way the delinquent
children of the state, the boys to
whom nature and society have con-
spired to deny a fair chance have
been dwelling for years undisturbed
and unthought of in this charnel
house of torture. 1t was only little
more than fifty years ago that the
American public's sense of decency
and humanity was outraged by the
presentation of the picture of the
barred backs of slaves running red
under the scourging thongs of the
slave-driver's whip. Yet the testi-
mony in this case shows that day
after day and year after year, the
same methods have been going on
in this institution which should be
an Institution of reform but which
in reality has been a house of tor
ture.
Instead of reforming boys, instead
of making better citizens this insti-
tuition has been a penal institution
with an annual output of warped
and hopeless souls.
AS superintendent it is right and
just that Mr.. Whittier should be
held responsible but in holding Mr..
Whittier responsible, the State Board
of Control cannot escape an even
greater responsibility. 1t is their
duty to employ the superintendent
of these institutions, yet on their
own evidence and the testimony of
former member of the Board, it is
shown that they even did not know
that whipping was carried on or if
they knew they did not care. One

ent in saying that scourging was the
most humane and in fact the only
successful method of discipline 1t
develops that neither the Board nor
the superintendent has taken the
trouble to study the methods used
in other institutions At Red Wing
there is in existence an arcaic form
of moral suasion whose foundation is
fear and brutality. A boy compelled
to be God and if not, he was brut-
ally whipped and on the testimony of
the superintendent he was licked UNI

don't believe Mr.. Whittier was ever
cruel or ever used more severe pun
ishment than is necessary
Representative Kunze, now a real
estate dealer in Minneapolis but at
one time superintendent of the Red
Wing city schools, defended Mr..
Whittier in a speech Of an hour and
a half, spending much of his time
citing other institutions where cor
poral punishment is used.
Representative Campbell followed
with a bitter and dramatic enuncia-
ton of the methods used at Red
Wing and characterized Superintend-
ent Whittier as "the most goddess,
Christless, fatherless'' man that
could be imagined and added that if
they wanted the boys properly
pounded that the state should en-
ploy- a man like Jack Johnson.
Representative D. P. O'Neill made
as touching and yet convincing talk
as any delivered. He expressed the
hope that the Dunn amendment
would not prevail and added:
Il was present at the public hear
ing when Mr.. Whittier, under oath,
said that corporal punishment was
necessary. Mr.. Kunze has read tel
egrams from institutions using the
lash but has he any from an institu-
ton readopting corporal punish
ment once it has been abolished?
A word as to what these boys are
like. They come from homes of
of kicks and curses where there is
no love and Kindness Now, about
tobacco. Is it natural that boy
will listen to the evil of smoking
coming from lips which hold a cigar
the fumes of which curl heavenward?
One word more,-I have the honor
OF being director on the board of
education at Thief River Falls and
l want to tell you that there is no
corporal punishment there and the
pupils worship their superintendent
for he rules by love and kindness"
Representative w. T. Stone of
Park Rapids admitted his ignorance
of the testimony revealed at the
public hearings of the committee
and apologized for not being better
entrenched with facts and then
proceeded to oppose the committee
report and declared he would walt

practically nothing where corn costs
great deal of money. That means
we should feed the pig water Here,
again, Is one of the answers to the
question why the fall pig does not
prove SO profitable. simply because the
weather il cold. The cold weather
does not allow the pig to drink enough
water. He loses his appetite for water
and won't drink enough when you
give him dry feed and turn him loose
at the water trough.
If the pigs won't drink enough wa
ter make the feed into slOp and
make them drink it. In summer we
have the other phase of the trouble
they drink too much. The fact they
drink too much in the summer is not
as bad as the fact they drink too little
in the winter.

great difference Of opinion. but 1t Is
my purpose here to describe a thod

several years and one which seems

less than the ordinary corn shelter.

Praises Work of Local Schools.

County School Superintendent
P. M. Glanville was in the city
yesterday from Grangeville and
spent the day here visiting
at the public and parochial
schools. He found both institu-
lions doing excellent work and
was we'll pleased with the results
being obtained. This was Mr..
G!anville's first visit to the pa
rochial school and he expressed
himself as being surprised and
gratifed at the way the school
was being conducted and stated
that the character of work being
done there conformed very close
ly to the regular public school
work and was as good as the
work of any school in the county.
In penmanship and neatness he
said the parochial school excelled
any school he had visited this
year. The patrons of the paro,
chial school will doubtless fee
pleased to learn that the stand
ard of the school work is rated
SO high by Mr.. Granville.

indication of overlooking. howev er.
will cause a drop in the feeding for n
few days. Then. in connection with
this feeding of oats and bran. more
corn fodder is fed and stalks having
the best developed ears Of corn. This
feeding is continued until the lambs
are shipped. Then the sheep are at
once sorted out into pens by them
selves and put back on the old feed
Of hay and stalks and kept so until
they are turned out in the spring.
This method of feeding saves great
expense in the handling of the corn.
and the heavy feeding is continued
only during the time that is necessary
for growing the lambs-a period of
from FIVE to nine weeks. 1t is often
necessary. however. to stop the feed
ing of cornstalks at intervals of a
few days before lambing. as the sheep
are apt to become too fat and have
more milk than the young lambs can
take at first. In general the better

May Purchase Local Flour Mill.

At a meeting of the local farm
ers union last Saturday the prop
osiiion was placed before the
farmers Of this section to either
purchase or acquire stock in the
local -four mill and convert the
same into a farmers union mill.
A committee was appointed to
examine the mill and report at
the regular meeting on Saturday,
March 4th, at which time all
members of the union are re-
quested to be present in order
that the matter may be acted up
on advisedly.
If the farmers decide to pur-
chase the mill or to acquire stock
In il the aim will be to put the
mill on a "a hour basis and oper-
ate it with electric power By
SO doing it can be operated mucn
more cheaply and its output
doubled. Most of the grain
grown in this section can be con-
verified into flour and sold at q
much better price than on the
regular market. The proposition
as presented is a very feasible
one and will perhaps result ir
the union acquiring the mill al
no distant date.

DAIRY WISDOM.

more dairy cows. better feed
and more butter fat" is a good
motto for every farmer.
When one takes>into consider
alton the difficulty in buying sat
isfactory cows there is little
question that under nearly all
conditions it pays to raise well
bred helfers as basis for
maintenance and improvement
of the dairy herd.
The COW eats today and she
! pays for her feed at tonight's
milking. No other farm animal
gives such prompt return for
feed and labor. That is one rea-
I son why a herd of dairy cows
/. should be on every farm.
Your winter COW is always the
I most profitable. and it must be
remembered that she needs the
best of care In order to yield
most literally.
Alfalfa and clover are the best
dry feeds there are for the COW.

Build SiIos Round.

The silo should be round and never

smooth. so the silage can settle freely.
