show that when Governor Eberhar1
promised the Northern Minnesota De.
Velopment association at its Brainerd
meeting Dec. 1, 1910, that if the leg
islature failed to provide a just reap
portionment law he would call it in
extra session for that purpose, he
didn't promise any such thing.
~ What Next? -
What device will the opposition to
an extra session produce next?
S'This particular one is the last we
had expected.
What Governor Eberhart said to
the thousand delegates at the Brain
erd meeting was said Of his own ac-
cord, perhaps in the warmth of his
temporary enthusiasm for the cause
of those gathered there. and it was
said extemporaneously and not from
notes Or written speech. Perhaps
if he had written out his speech and
had it edited beforehand he wouldn' t
have said it.
But he did say it, and a thousand
men heard him. They were men
from nearly every community in
Northern Minnesota, certainly from
every county. Never until this time,
though nearly a year has elapsed,
has anybody, least Of all Governor
denied that it was said. 4
"The issue, if the report from. St.
Paul is correct, is a question OF YER

Blames the People.

The people themselves ought to
pay the penalty until they learn to
secure legislation at the ballot box,
and the press is the only means by
which the people can be taught this
valuable lesson.
THE people of Northern Minnesota
need many concessions besides reap
portionment. The state ought to aid
the settlers in clearing land and get
ting this section of the state devel-
oped. Cheap dynamite and power
machinery that would clear land at
small expense instead of leaving peo-
pie to do hand labor in competition
with the machine, and then place a
tax on them besides for every acre
thus developed, the exploitation of Ia
Dor must cease sooner or later and
as soon as the people get thoroughly
aroused to their opportunity this will
be accomplished, and not until then.
You may record me as favoring the
extra session.

Hillman is in Favor.

N. S. Hillman, of Two Harbors and
the only Socialist in the Minnesota
legislature, goes on record as favor
ing an extra session but deplores the
conditions which make such action
necessary. To the Pioneer he says:
Il have gone on record as favoring
an extra session, although l don't
consider it fair to those of the repre-
sentatives that were there last win
ter in the interest of the common peo-
pie, as we have to dig down our own
pockets to pay for our keeping, and
thus pay the penalty.

Dicaire Addresses Council.

Charging that he had been insulted
by woman using profanity over the
telephone when he called up the city
poor farm to inquire regarding an in
mate, P. M. Dicaire last night ap-
peared before the council and de-
manded that official cognizance be
taken of the incident. In addressing
the council, Mr.. Dicaire said:
Over the Telephone.
When / called the poor farm
and asked that be informed re-
garding the condition of an aged
and ill inmate being received at
the farm, some person, a young
woman Judging by the voice, re-
piled s'If you are so damned par
ticular why didn't you take care
of him in the first place."
Aged Invalid Involved.
The person in whose interest Mr..
Dicaire made his inquiry is John Ryn-
ming, old and feeble who yesterday
was taken to the poor farm upon Or
ders of DIR. L. A. Ward, health officer,
who found him to be in bad condi-
tion from exposure and lack of food.
Rynning had been existing in
hovel, a sort of dug out and had
been without proper food or protec-
ton for several days. He has three
daughters, none here, but one at In
ternational Falls, who is ill.
What He Was Interested.
Il merely asked the person at the
poor house when called up to inform
me just what the condition of the old
gentleman was," continued Mr.. Di
caire. Il had helped to care for the
man and was interested in his case as
/ wanted to inform his daughter. l
have no way of knowing the identity
of the person who swore at me over
the telephone, but I want to say to
this council that the taxpayers are
not going to stand for any such thing
they are going to demand that the
poor be properly cared for and if
person there can talk that way over
the telephone, what must the lot of
the unfortunate folks who are COM
PEELED to exist there?'

WOULD MILL THE PRESIDENT

Down at Santa Barbara somebody
designed blowing up the President
train. Dynamite was laid in the piers
of railroad bridge in sufficient guam,
tity to blow it to atoms, and the time
and location and the length of fuses
attached indicated that it was the in
tention to have the explosion occur
while the presidential party was glid-
ing over the bridge.
In answer to the question as to
who would wish to see this thing
happen, it can only be said that there
are always dissatisfied spirits who are
willing to make such a misuse or
their power or their freedom, and IL
they had the power, or the privileges
and freedom that president has,
there is no estimating what use they
would make of it.
On Wednesday the Presidents
train came near being derailed in
Nevada by the loosening of tire on
a drive wheel. The tire slipped but
did not come off, and if it had not
been discovered before reaching a
sharp curve, it would have been quite
sure to cause wreck.
The train passed through Black
foot at midnight, Wednesday, on its
way into Montana, and extra watch
men were on duty ahead of the train
all the way from southern Califor-

HENRY WATTERSON ADVISES
EDITORS

Henry Watterson, editor of the
Louisville Courier-Journal, and one
whose name stands near the head OF
the list of editorial writers of the
present day, in addressing the Indiana
members of the associated press at
indianapolis recently, took occasion
as he always does when invited to
say something about the press, to tell
what he thinks of the fellows who
simply publish a newspaper for tenn.
pOrary gains. Blatant" Is one OF
his favorite words when he expresses
himself about them, and while he Is
in the sedate old eastern states where
things are established and somewhat
settled. he might yet find some sam
pies of what he describes as havins
existed in the old days If he would
peruse some of the papers published
out west.
These are some of the things he
said in his address:
I'm the old days the press was
more blatant than self-respecting;
now it is more self-respecttng than
blatant. With assured position has
come distinct precision of aim, ana
with sense of moneyed independence
has risen the sense of direct respon-
sibility. AS the public comes to be
better educated, the virtues and not
the vices of the newspaper will COM
mand priority in the market.
ITO be kindly, honest, fearless, Ca
pable, speaking the language and
wearing the habilments of the plain,
patriotic, unpretentious people, bone
of their bone and flesh of their flesh,
sincere and effective deliverer of
their better thought, their loftier pur-
pose and their nobler aspirations, me-
yer to seek Office, never to take gift
stock, never to touch campaign money
these are the precepts the young
journalist should hang upon his bed
post"
Just at this time when Barney
O'Neil is staying across the Canadian
line, when the grand jury and the ex-
perts are trying to determine just
what crimes were committed in a
Wallace bank during Barney's cam
paign, when depositors are trying to
come to an understanding of whose
money was squandered in lavish ex-
penditures trying to secure the nom.
nation for governor of Idaho, when
packages of receipted bills for cleo
ton expenses have come to light for
nearly a hundred times as much as
Barney's affidavit said was all he
expended" in the primary campaign
or in the effort to secure the nomin-
alton, when certain Idaho editors who
supported Barney are meditating on
how and why they did it, when one
who were blatant" for two opposing
candidates in the same month is ly-
ing awake nights trying to figure out
how he can dispose of the pottage he
got in that month, and when some OF
the other editors who were offered
checks or chattels and declined them
are going about their business enjoy
ing the spectacle, is very good time
to read the above quotation from the
speech of that white-haired journalist
who paved his way up through sue
cess to fame.

A GOOD SHOW COMING
Idaho Falls Post)

Lena Rivers was the opening bill
at the Scenic by the Colonial Players
last evening For stock company
of the better sort, the Colonial col
lection fully satisfied an audience
which filled the popular house to its
capacity and again proved that Idaho
Falls appreciates class in theatricals.
The company is well balanced and
while the work of some of the COM
pany's members showed to better adj
vantage, it was due, no doubt, to the
play and the parts rather than abil-
ity. In the list of plays announced
by the manager it is positive that
each member will have the oppor
tunity for the people of Idaho Falls
to see them at their best. The sam
pie given last evening was sufficient
to justify the assertion that the re-
petoire as announced can be as ably
handled as Lena Rivers.
Miss Synder and Mr.. Roach were
the stars in the performance, but
there is not member of the COM
pany that is not entitled to mention.
Mr.. Murrel as Noel Slocum carried
the company load of the play and the
generous applause given by the ap-
preciative audience was fully justi-
fed.
Miss Pierce as Caroline Livingston,
played an unpopular role that was
difficult, but the young lady carried
it we'll and gives great promise for
the plays announced for the week.
In Granny Nichols Miss Wolbert was
the character study of the play last
evening and will be heard of later.
Crowded houses will no doubt
greet the company for their weeks
stay in Idaho Falls.
The Colonials will be at the Audi
forum for four nights, beginning
October 23.

WHAT Is EYE-STRAIN?

"A patient is said to be suffering
from eye-strain when his eyes are
compelled to do work which is be-
yond their physiological capacity.
Just as the strongest man is seldom
the most enduring, so the OFFICIALLY
perfect eye may be incapable of en-
during continuous hard work. 1t is
therefore, possible to strain even
normal healthy eyes by over-use,
though the chief strain comes from
the efforts of the abnormal eye to
compensate for optical defects by in
creased muscular exertion.
"The patient with an astigmatism
sees all jects more or less dis
torted, and is under the constant
necessity Of performing series of
MENTAL ADJUSTMENTS as to size
and shape of objects. Every one
now admits that this is an import
ant factor in the problem of the
backward school child, but it is
equally applicable to many an adult
who is stupid and apathetic, irrita-

recuperates nerve and muscle energy

writes DR.. E. M. Agler, of New York.
The business man, bookkeeper,
milliner, dressmaker and all who use
their eyes for looking at close OBJ,

ergy they could conserve by wearing

A local telephone company has
been organized on Little Lost river
under the name of the Farmers and
Miners Telephone company, and they
hope to construct a line so they can
talk to us and others in the near fu-
ture.
e. R. Hawley is president, M. L.
Higgins, vice-president, A. L. Gilmore,
secretary, and w. D. Simmons treas
urer. They are Incorporated and are
selling stock to distribute the burden
of construction among those most in
terested in the line.
Some of the local people have been
operating an auto stage line this sea-
son between Powell and Sweet Sage,
shortening the time greatly between
that country and their trading points.

Ode to Potatoes

(Shelley Pioneer)
Oh, Potato! Like yon star,
How | wonder what you are
Up above us now so high
Like diamond in that sky.
When the blazing sun is set,
And the grass with dew is wet,
Oh, tbs then we mourn your height
We so want little bite.
And when we have gone to sleep
Still we oft in visions peep
At your little sunken eyes;
Till from daylight darkness flies.
Then we waken up anon,
Only still to find you gone.

Will you come to us again?
