AMERICANS MUST
| Be SURRENDERED
Demand Made for Prisoners
Held at Juarez.


State Department Charges That Biatt
and Converse Were Captured on
American Soil and Their Prompt
Release Is equested-Develop-
ments Indicate Mobilization of
Troops Was Carefully Planned Move
Washington, March 16.-Following
the formal request, which practically
amounts to a demand by the United
States on Mexico for the release of
two American prisoners kidnapped on
Texas soil by Diaz soldiers and car.
ried over the line, the state depart
ment announced that every American
consul in Mexico had been instructed
to make a prompt report of any mis-
treatment of American citizens by
either military or civilian authorities
in Mexico.
Each successive step in the rela-
tions between the United States and
Mexico in the present crisis reveals a
strong and carefully planned policy by
this country The virtual demand for
the release of Blatt and Converse is
not an afterthought The two Ameri-
cans were arrested on Feb. %. This
government has been investigating
the case ever since. But it made no
representation to Mexico until it had
modified a strong military force along
the border. Having placed an army
within striking distance of Mexico the
United States now calls upon Diaz TO
surrender it's citizens and follows that
with an order to its consuls to be
vigilant in reporting any similar cases.
Explanation for Congress.
If the president is called upon by
congress for statement of what the
military demonstration in Texas
means the administration will be in
a position to show that it had am
pie grounds for believing that the
rights of American citizens and citi-
zens of foreign powers in Mexico were
in danger
Gvernment officials who believed
from the first that the United States
would be compelled to intervene in
Mexico to protect the lives and prop
erty of it's citizens, the formal request
for the surrender of Blatt and Con-
verse is regarded as a carefully
planned step. The issue concerning
these two Americans, who are now in
Jail at Juarez, is very sharply drawn
and cannot be befogged by any bound
airy dispute. There is a boundary dis
pute between Mexico and the United
States, which is to be settled by ar
hitration, but it was declared at the
state department that it does not in
any way affect Blatt and Converse.
This government is convinced that
the two men were captured on Ameri-
can soil. Mexico denies it. The situ-
alton is one from which one party or
the other must absolutely recede from
its position, on question of fact.

If there were hundred real
friends of labor in congress and
only half as many labor men in
the various state legislatures the
war waged upon organized labor
by the steel trust and its erectors'
association, as we'll as other en-
ployers' organizations, would
come to speedily end.
And that is what the result will
be in five yearsl Mark the pre-
diction.
Human nature is much the
same the world over. Organized
labor in Australia, Great Britain,
Germany, France and other coun-
tries has passed through the same
experiences that the union work
ing people of America are now
having.
Powerful combinations of capi-
tai attacked the workers organ
izations, and,they were harrassed
by unfavorable laws, military and
police brutality, strikebreakers
and agents provacateurs, bomb
throwers in their own ranks and
other distractions and discour-
agements. Worst of all, in most
countries the workers were Who'll
ly or partially disfranchised, and
were compelled to use physical
force to gain. the right to vote.
Today, after years of struggle
and sacrifice, the voice of labor is
heard in every parliamentary
body of Europe and Australia.

the institution were deserving of
punishment Of some kind still your
committee finds that in very many
instances severe and excessive cor
poral punishment was inflicted for
comparatively unimportant breach
es of discipline. r.....,
"C-That corporal punishment
has been excessively inflicted in
many instances by subordinates
without the knowledge of the super
intendent.
"D-That the superintendent of
the institution confesses his inability
to manage an institution of this
character unless he continues to
administer corporal punishment as
in the past and your committee finds
that a continuance of such manage
ment is out of the question. That
while some slight corporal punish
ment of some of the younger boys
might be necessary we are clearly
OF the opinion and so find that the
corporal punishment as now adj
ministered is wholly unjustifiable
and can only result in brutalizing
not only the boys but the inflicters
of the punishment
Your committee recommends that
the board of control of this state
make a change in the management
of said institution and we further
more recommend that Assistant
superintendent Dorm and Family
Managers Stopppleman and Metzold
be discharged from the service of
the state of Minnesota.

board of control that they only tOl-
crate and allow corporal punishment

STANTON MAKES RULING
Junist Passes On Habeas Corpus Cues
ton Raised Before Him.

Judge Stanton has just announced
an exhaustive ruling in habeas
corpus case covering the jurisdic-
ton of justices of the peace in Itasca
county in imposing sentences of i'm
prisonment. The case came before
the court on the application of John
Mcdonald, a we'll known Deer River
logger, convicted of using improper
language before John D. Burgess, a
justice of Deer River.
Mcdonald applied for writ of ha-
beas corpus and the legality of his
Imprisonment was argued at length.
Judge Stanton holds that where
the papers do not state acts which
constitute a public offense that the
judgement rendered by the Justice
is wholly void.
The question determined has been
raised number of times before but
in no memorandum has any member
of the district bench made memoir
andum as exhaustive as that just
filed. Mcdonald obtained his re-
lease on the strength of the order
made by Judge Stanton.

BARKER TALKS OF BUSINESS
Bemidji Drug Store Proprietor Tells
49,. of His Methods.

Too much cannot be said about
the efficiency of the drug department
at the Barker Drug & Jewelry Store.
Speaking with Mr.. Barker, proprie-
tor of the store regarding the var
ious departments of this growing
Bemidji institution, he said:
Zone of our principle duties it the
filling of prescriptions. The best
drugs are needed, if any are required
at all. People may run chances on
cheap clothes, but with medicine it
is case of health, and frequently
OF. life or death.
"When doctor gives a prescrip-
ton he places his own reputation
and the welfare of his patient in the
hands of the druggist. This is
where our responsibility begins and
it is indeed a great one. We know
and realize what depends on us and
thoroughly understand the prescrip-
ton business. At all times we are
fully capable of knowing the serious
ness of our calling. We fill every
prescription as though it were for
our own family. In asking our GUS
toners and your subscribers to bring
their prescriptions to us we do so
with conscientious confidence"
Had Mr.. Barker not been inter-
rupted it is hard telling when he
would end his talk about the stores
prescription department. 1t may be
said also, that he is just as enthus-
iastic over every department in both
jewelry and drug lines.
Speaking of the store in general,
including jewery and drugs, Mr..
Barker said: --, sssr~.
I'VE are working up q wonderful
mail order business in both these
departments. We have perfected
the handling of mail order trade and
comparison from any large
mail order house when it comes to
the efficiency Of service in this de-
partment. We give the same care
full attention to all mail orders that
we give to any customer who comes
in person. 1t matters not whether
the party be regular customer of
ours or an entire stranger. The SER
vice is given with equal considera-
ton" .-.-.
1t has always been. generally
known in Bemidji that the Barker
Drug Store is one of the thoroughly
reliable stores of Northern Mime

Business activity always depends

Business activity always depends
| largely upon the recognition of mu-
! tual interests. If one is not forget
full of the fact that the acts and the
business policy of another person in
the community are such that he gains
direct benefit thereby, and he &C
cordingly aids and encourages that
policy, the result is always apparent
in an increased volume of business
and profit to both. .
This fact is especially noticeable
between advertisers and their custo-
mers. A merchant or other busi-
ness man advertises in the news
papers in order that the public may
know just what he has to offer. This
information is valuable to the public
and furnishes an advantage to
every purchaser. -.
The purchaser should therefore
practice reciprocity and patronize
the one who has by advertising help
