The state placed it's last witness on
the stand in the case of attempted
arson against DR.. D. F. Dumas, mayor
of Cass Lake, on trial at Bemidji.
After some preliminary testimony
had been given by minor witnesses,
Martin Behan, the bandit who turned

quest of DR.. Dumas, who told him
that there would be no, danger.

There is Que matter to which no
reference was made at last week s
boosting banquet, yet which deserves
attention. In our Judgment nothing
would help Little Falls to grow faster
or on better foundations than an
honest system of taxation. The present
system is barbarous, unscientitic un-
equal, fine upon enterprise and All
incentive to perjury, full of glaring
injustices, a burden and clog upon in
dustry. Anyone who has paid even
slight attention to the great taxation
reforms begun in Germany and
England or who has learned what the
enterprising cities of Vancouver and
Edmonton have done in Canada must
have noticed the advances being made
toward better and fairer methods of
taxation Vancouver exempts i'm
provements from taxation and is one
of the fastest growing cities of the
world. The subject is a large one.
1t is worth the careful study and con-
sideration of the charter commission.
There could scarcely he better in
centive for an industry to locate here,
than to know it would receive square
deal in taxation. And a square deal
should be given not only every in
dustry, but every man, woman and
Child in this city. The present system
of taxation has no merit except age to
recommend it. There is constant pro-
gress in scientific matters, in the world
of commerce and industry. Why not
progress in such fundamental matter
as the just and proper apportlonment
of the amount of burden seach citizen
must bear for the general welfare.

1t is said by some that folks who
favor the 500 connection have selfish
motives. For the sake OF argument,
let's admit that this is true. What
difference does it make so long as the
enti'e city is benefited. If everyone
in the city were actuated by altruistic
motives. it would be splendid thing
no doubt, but we haven't reached
that stage yet, and do not expect to for
some time. When a good proposition
is presented, good for all, let all boost
it, even though it means more to some
indi iduals than others. Later pro-
position for which you care more, and
they less, will come up, and you will
want help from all. We have. heard
much of reciprocity lately: There is
no better place to exemplify it than
right in Little Falls. If some fall be-
find in it, don't scold, don t condemn,
just be sorry. and show them better
way. It will count IN time.

There was plenty of inspiration
generated last week. Let US hope it
will not die out, but achieve, and
through achievement grow. That IN"
SEPARATION may help toward higher
ideals OF civic duty; a civic duty
which will mean hatred of hypocrisy
and sham; civic duty which will
not attack the small sins of the null
titude in order to shield the greater
sins of the few; which will not permit
in tue wealthy what it condemns in
the poor which will be above the fear
Of expanding a dollar lest it may not
come back: in word, which will
mean real brotherhood.

Cardinal Gibbons is great and ven
cradle man, a sanity figure, who
through long life has been mar
velously potent influence for good. His
opinions on political subjects are
worthy Of serious consideration, be-.
cause the Cardinals sincerity and
patriotism are unquestioned. But,
as the Cardinal has himself frequently
said, those opinions bind no one.
These remarks are prompted because
some papers appear to think there
was something official in the Car
dinal's statement as to the Initiative,
Referendum and Recall. This is Of
course an error. Catholics differ among
themselves greatly on all political ques-
tions, and will continue to DO SO. No
man is more respected. admired and
beloved than Archbishop Ireland. In
1896 the archbishop opposed Bryan
ideas with strength and vigor. That
made no differ ence, however, with
Catholics who believed the other way,
and the great archbishop did not ex'
pect that it would. The archbishop
agrees with the Cardinal in opposition
to the Initiative, Referendum and Re-
call. These eminent citizens have a
: right to express their opinions on such
subjects. and in so doing are only do
ing what clergymen of all denomina-
tions are doing on all sorts OF subjects
every day. these opinions on these
questions however, do not bind any
one. and people who believe the con-
trary on these matters, and have come
! to that conclusion as the result OF
thought, study and observation, will
not change.

President Taft was a guest of the

was rendered him, W. j. Bryan max.
ing his lecture dates so that he mi ght
be present. Mr.. Bryan gave the
following toast:
''Lincoln is honored today by the
presence of the highest official in the
world. The presidents position is
greater than kings. His authority
Is more vast than any civilized people
would entrust to an hereditary ruler
and he holds the place not by accident
of birth, but by the suffrage OF his
countrymen.
Though in campaigns he is the
leader OF a party he is after election
the chief executive Of the nation. and
his arm yields the strength of ninety
millions of people.
Lifted by voters to this position OF
supreme command, he becomes the
most exalted OF our public servants. 1t
is fitting that we, group Of the SOW
ereigns whom he serves should pay
our respects to him and to the Office
which he holds. I ask you to rise. fill
your glasses with the beverage upon
which the Almighty has set the seal of
his approval. and drink to the health
of President Taft, and may God give
him wisdom to discharge Alright the
duties imposed upon him.
