RAISE sLAF0LLETTE CRY
Progressives in Chicago Declare in
Favor of Him for President
in 1912.
ALSO URGE DIRECT PRIMARIES

Chicago, Oct. 1.-TWO hundred
progressive republicans in their first
national conference here, Endorsed
the candidacy of Senator Robert M.
La Toilette of Wisconsin for presi-
dent, and declared in favor of the
direct primary as means for ex-
preston Of the presidential choice
The endorsement came in the
shape of resolutions framed in part
by former Secretary of the Interior
James Garfield, who it was held by
delegates, appeared as expressing the
views of Theodore Roosevelt, and
who, it was feared, would not con-
sent to a declaration in favor of any
individual.
The resolutions followed a day of
LaFollette enthusiasm, in which his
name was cheered repeatedly as it
was expressed by a dozen speakers.
Contrary to expectations, the confer
ence was concluded in one day, most
Of the delegates left the city, and the
progressive program outlined for to-
day will be devoted to the support of
the state, and local candidates and
conditions.
Resolutions were framed by a sub
committee Of five, from a committee
of thirteen and revised by former
Secretary Garfield and Congressman
Irvine L. Lenroot of Wisconsin.

Sickly School Children.

A physical examination of 3,219
school children in three counties in
Georgia showed 2,228 of them suf-
ferinng from on disease or another.
Most of the diseases we're such as
adenoids, hookworm, defective eye
sight, hearing and teeth. Is the
time not coming when in the public
schools as much attention will be
paid to the physical condition of the
children as to anything else? Should
it not be done?-Knoxville Journal

Commands Serious Attention.

Already there is strong demand
for an extra session of the legislature
in certain quarters for the purpose
of passing new railroad legislation
and this. together with the added de-
mand from a reapportionment stand
point, makes the matter Of reconven-
ing the lawmakers, a proposition
which must command serious atten-
ton.
The only work of skepticism re-
garding the new move for reappor-
tionment so far heard from those who
say that as the legislature failed to
pass reapportionment bill, it would
be folly to expect the same men now
to pass such bill.

sWEEPER's DUST UNPOPULAR
May Result in That Machine Being
Discarded-History Of the
MiX-up.

at is a dirty shame that Bemidji
won't accept our street cleaning ap-
paratus after it is already here and
the council went on record in favor
of it, is the position of one sales
man for a Chicago company while
his competitor came back with:
ut certainly would be dirty
shame, and dirty streets, too, if the
city did buy your junk"
The two statesmen, one for the Aus
tin Western company which offered
the city two vehicles, sprinkler and
a sweeper and sent them here, L. j.
Hadley of the Studebaker company
who first told the council it had il
legally gone about it to buy street
sweeping apparatus, attended the
the council meeting last night.
Hard Nut to Crack.
The council is beginning to have
almost as much trouble of the street
cleaning problem as it did over the
septic tank thorn.
First came word that the Austin
company had on display at the Min
nesota state fair a sweeper and a
sprinkler which it was willing to
sell at bargain prices. That sound
ed good. The machines came to Be-
midi and the formality of advertis-
ing for bids was gone through with,
but the legal form was not followed.
Nevertheless the council decided to
accept the machines, if they worked
satisfactorily.
Then Comes Hadley.
Then came Hadley who wanted to
know what the council meant by not
properly advertising. The council
didn't quite know, but decided to
patch up things by readvertising, but
Alderman Smart took occasion to
warn Mr.. Hadley:
''It won't do you any good.'
Last night the bids were opened.
Gradually there has been grow
ing conviction that the best place for
the sweeper is back at Hamline, or
some other place where Bemidji will
not suffer from it's dust. Therefore,
that vehicle had few friends at the
meeting last night.
Bids on the sprinkler were opened
and Alderman Smart moved that the
Austin bid be accepted.
Statesmen in Squabble.
This brought Mr.. Hadley to his
feet with an grafton on the past
present and future of street clean
ing. He also called attention to the
fact that his company bid for the
sprinkler was $50 less than the Aus
tin bid
The Austin representative replied
that there was that much difference
between the two and that the Stude-
baker people had an unfair advant-
age because they wnew what the
price was to be.
Alderman Sherman Bailey thought
the council had been hasty in de-
Gliding upon the purchase of the ma
chinery and moved that all bids be
rejected and that a purchase be de-
layed until committee to be made
up of Mayor Parker, President of the
Council L. F. Johnson and Alderman
John Moberg visit other cities and
find out just what is needed here tc
keep the paved streets clean.
This motion was adopted. 1t is
understood the committee will visit
Minneapolis. There was much dis
cussion as to whether it would be
best to have a sweeper or a flusher.

FALSE THEORY IS ADVANCED
Pessimist Fears Fair Measure Could
Not Be Passed But Argument
is Not Sound. 49,

Following up it's announcement in
yesterdays issue, the Pioneer in it's
effort to have the St. Cloud conven-
ton of the Northern Minnesota De-
velopment association pass, a resolu-
ton calling upon Governor Eber-
hart to assemble the legislature to
pass a just and fair reapportionment
bill, has addressed a personal COM
munication to every member of the
legislative delegations from all
northern Minnesota counties.
Men of Power Asked to Aid.
These men are asked to join in the
movement and do what they can to
bring about the desired reforms. The
Pioneer plans on printing the ex-
pressions of some of these men,
In addition to this, the proposition
will be brought to the personal at
tention of other men welding pow
er in the Development association or
in the politics of the state.
On top of this a direct personal
appeal has been made to practically
every newspaper in this territory.
Put it Up to the People.
Many have thought that all that
was necessary to bring about what
the North has so long been fighting
for was for someone to take the mi
tiative.
Few seriously doubt but that the
Development association will stand
squarely behind the move.
On this point the Pioneer admits
that nothing official can be said at
this time, although officers of that
organization will be entreated at
once to make known their position,
Delegates Being Named.
In the meantime delegates are be-
ing named by the different county
development associations to attend
the St. Cloud convention and it is
important that the right kind of men
be named as it will be up to these
men to say at the meeting what the
course of procedure shall be.
Beltrami county has named her
! list of delegates and it is the inten-
ton of the Pioneer to obtain from
these men an expression as to what
best can be done to insure success for

pecuniary value the gift of these

Messrs. Kelso and Howard as 1t goes
to show that they are kind to their
plen and do not insist on pressing
down a crown of throns upon the
brows of their workmen.

long Bishop Eyster, Superintendent
Engle and M. l.. Engle and other
good spirits in the River Brethren
church showed visitors through the
new edifice that has Just been erect

country. Many people went early
in the day and stayed until night.
They took their dinners with them
and Toasted at noon time in the
bright, new, clean, sunny rooms.
The River Brethren church of Abb

age and other Dickinson county work.
ers nearly $4,000 more.
There are thirty-one rooms In the
building, which Is made of brick.
Great pains have been taken to make
the building and premises sanitary.
Every appointment is perfect. Every
room is made for, specific purpose
and there is harmony in design
throughout the four-story structure
When completed the orphanage
will be modern throughout. Electric
lights from the Thomas city plant
will be great convenience and the
hot and cold baths will be appre-
ciated by the poor unfortunates in
the home. Hot water heat will be
installed soon and no charitable in
stitution IN the state will be more
comfortable than the Jabbok Orphan
age.
There is beginning to everything

mission grew to a real frame house
then to brick house and now to an
edifice that appeals to the pride OF
every American citizen. Those scrip
tural precepts have grown in the
hearts of men and women, who have
opened their purses to do great good.
This Jabbok orphanage is grand
blessing to the community. 1t is a
home for the waif and refuge for
the weary. To what better use can
money be employed?
Superintendent Engle, Bishop D.
n. Eyster and the loyal, good church
workers Of the River Brethren church
have builded great institution. They
are doing a noble work and Thomas
appreciates their sublime efforts
The dedicatory services were car

two exceptions. The nrogtafn was wa
listened to by a large crowd and
many could not get seats in the spa

sermon was delivered by Bishop j.

spirit of giving prevailed among
those present and when Bishop d.
R. Eyster read the report of the cost
of building, amount Of Indebtedness
and called for pledges, he received
more than enough pledges to clear
the debt. Over $1,000 was subscribed
to the orphanage which puts 1t out
of debt. Two or three thousand dol
lars more are needed to complete
the third floor, install heat plant
sewer, water and lights. This
amount will be raised, no doubt, be-
fore long and very soon the Jabbok
Orphanage will be one OF the best
equipped homes in Oklahoma.
