Bill Changed His Opinion After a Talk
With His Wife.

Old Bill Shiftless wandered in the
other day to talk little politics, says
the Osborne (KanJ Farmer. Bill is
somewhat interested in the woman suf
frage movement. He is for it good and
strong. Bill says My wife has as
much rightto vote as have. She does
half the work and owns half of every
thing and should have as much say as
have. OF course the old woman
would also vote as l told her to, but
that makes no difference. 1t would
give me double power. and the Lord
knows US poor people have little
enough to say now about the way
things are run. Then. besides. want
the old lady to have all the pleasure
she can get out of this world"
That night old Bill was talking the
question over with his wife. She said
she would like to get chance TO vote
the distilleries of the face of the earth.
Bill 1ared up In a minute.
That's just the way with the wom-
en-" yelled Bill. Give them half a
chance and they would ruin every
thing Look at the poor people around
here who can't afford a doctor or to
buy medicine. If they can keep lit
tie liquor in the house it saves many
a sick spell Women have all they can
do 10 look after things around the
house without chasing of and voting"
Then Old Bill chased himself to bed
and left Mrs. Shiftless TO bring in a
bucket OF coal and get kindling tor the
morning.

At 8 o'clock this man would open the

of this name Brummel would rise from
his chair and greet the cold air from

GOOD PICTURES At MAJESTIC
Program Tonight and Tomorrow Eve
ming Better Than Ever.

"A Mexican LEGION the first pic
ture, portrays the life of the monks
in Old Mexico and illustrates the
racking of the Monastery by a band
of Indians. The scene is intensified
when Father Ignatius, while being
entombed in a vault prays for de-
liverance, and during the prayer a
picture Of Christ, that hangs in the
vault, suddenly comes to life and
Christ steps forth, leads the monk to
safety and assists in driving the In
dams away. It is necessary to see
this picture to get the full value of
it. The secound picture, "The Merry
Wives of Windsor" is one of the
most amusing of all Shakespeare's
comedies. The manager of the pop
ular "Photoplay" house feels salts
fed in saying that the program to-
night and tomorrow night will please
all those who are fortunate enough
to see these pictures.

ors, has interested 80 prominent
business and professional men of
Chicago in the work if the local
board of control, of which he is
chairman, and the cooperation of the
people of Chicago and the millions

aid to the movement, which has for
it's chief purposes the saving of for
ests, storing of food waters, re-
clamation of deserts and making
homes on the land
'.The National Irrigation Congress
will have the support Of our public

Says That Under Proper Conditions
Proposed Measure Would Be A
Great Aid to Country. :
SHOULD BE TALKED OF MORE
Believes That Bemidj1 Commercial
Club Should Look Into PROPOSE :
ton and Offer Protest. :.

A. p Richie, formerly superin-
tendent of the Bemidji public
schools, but now operating dairy
farm a few miles from the city, has
written an opinion on the proposed
reciprocity bill with Canada, which
is as follows:
Editor Pioneer:
I have noticed little or nothing
said in this part of the state relative
to the proposed political and COM
mercial relations with our neighbor
on the north-Canada. It seems to
me that this is of lasting and vital
Importance to this, our Northern
Minnesota. 1t seems to me that our
relations with Canada does and al
ways will have an important part to
play in the development of Northern
Minnesota.
Reciprocity with Canada under
the proper conditions will be a great
aid to the country as whole, but
reciprocity with the tariff schedules
now exciting unadjusted could not
do otherwise than bring havock and
injury to our greatest wealth pro-
ducing class of this Countrywide
farmer, and especially the farmers Of
Northern Minnesota > -,
1t is an admitted fact that others
can be prosperous in proportion as
the producer is prosperous.
Let us look at some of the condi-
lions existing and proposed should
this go into effect:
1t is proposed to put dairy pro-
ducts, live stock, poultry, eggs, vege-
tables, wheat, barley and other farm
products on the free list, but when
wheat leaves the farmer and goes in
to the hands of the capitalist, and
meat into the hands of the packer
it is protected. Rough lumber such
as the farmer and the small mill-man
produces is to come in free, but
dressed and finished lumber of the
poor monopolists must be protected
AS blind, fruits, cream separ-
ators, fence wire and a few other
things in which Canada does not
| compete are listed free ard if Can
ada did compete it would have no
effect because these are controlled
by the monopolists. The fact is, all
the things which northern Mime
sofa produces in abundance is also
produced in abundance in Canada.
| ueSe are oil Oh JQe Tree l1SC, WQ1le
things that are not produced in this
part of the country are protected.
Why not begin at the other end ad-
nit what we have to buy free, and
protect what we have to sell or at
least, let it effect the capitalists as
well as the producer.
It is my opinion that the people
of this city and community should
do as they are doing in other parts
of the state-protest most vigor-
ously against this proposition. Why
not talk it over in the Commercial
Club?
Respectfully yours,
(Signed) A. P. RICHIE.

Effort of Representative Johnson to
Obtain Daylight LID Causing
Much Opposition.
COUNTY OPTION UP TUESDAY
Made Special Order By House, Spoon
er and Burnquist Being Orators
to Favor Bill.
(By r. A. WILSON,


1emidji Pioneer Legislative Bureau
st. Paul, Feb. 6.-There is a pos.
slbility that the effort of Mayor
Haynes of Minneapolis to extend the
salon closing limit in cities from II
p. N. until midnight will be the
means Of closing all saloons in the
state at o'clock in the evening.
There is a bill in the house, intro
duced by J. N. Johnson of Candy,
which forbids the sale of intoxiea-
ting liquors otter 8 p. m. There has
been such show of support behind
the measure that petitions are being
circulated in different parts of the
state by friends of the liquor deal
ers, urging opposition to the bill.
While the present legislature is
not expected to favor liquor regu-
lation to the extent of passing
county option bill, it comes danger
ously close to being in mood to pull
off just such trick and as result
such a bill as the Johnson measure
may have more of a chance of getting
through than ordinarily would be
the case. In any event persons who
oppose such bill had better get busy
for those who favor are already In
ing up strong. :. a-='-rz@7sz
The house is in session this after
noon for the Introduction of bills
and such other routine work as may
come before it. The senate meets
this evening at 8 o'clock, but it is
doubtful if quorum will be present.
Tomorrow afternoon the house will
consider the county option bill, that
measure having been made a special
order for o'clock. Lewis c. Spoon
er of Morris and Representative
Burnquist Of St. Paul will make the
principal speeches in favor of the
measure while Representative Pfaen-
der of New Ulm will be the noisy
orator opposing it.
The following two items are taken
from the political column of Satur-
days St. Paul Dispatch: IF the
senate be left to it's own sweet de-
sires, a reapportionment will have
some trouble erowding through.
But will it be? The astute ones are
beginning to whisper No! In fact
there is in the house, and the house
will stand up and yell if the senate
refuses to come in and be good. Re-
apportionment of some sort is bound
to be turned out by the house.
That's moral certainty. Whatever
the senate has to ask of the house
will have to be asked with the under
standing that the one big request
to be made by the house will be re-
