Some governors are possessed with the notion
that their chief duty is to pardon criminals and
thus overthrow the law. Governor Cole Besse OF
South Carolina has started to break the record
for he already has issued 3i7 pardons. Evidently
he has no thought of his political future. 1t was
his pardonng record that brought discredit on
Patterson when governor Of Tennessee and de-
stroyed his political career.

Dissatisfaction Grows Less
AS Business Increases

q This is a condition that is seldom found in any
business. 1t is splendid condition TO be in.
And it's just as much of importance to you as to

Stories of The Day
aNE OF THE EMPL0YEEs.

A St Louisian who has recently re-
turned from the Isthmus Of Panama
tells this story Of the Canal Zone:
One day his wife found huge Ia
rantula in the bathroom. The crea-
ture was almost as big as the palm
of ones hand.
The woman fed in terror, and her
husband went in and crushed the big
spider.
On going down to dinner they en-
countered the proprietor.
Eve have just killed a tremendous
tarantula up in our room!" said the
American.
The proprietor started excredlys
and clutched at his chair
Great Scotti" he cried. you
shouldn't have killed it,"
"Why not?' asked the American.

HER RULE.

Miss Kate Riverton Byles, one OF
the suffragist leaders of Colorado, said
at a recent suffragist dinner in Grip
pie Greek:
Opponents of woman's suffrage
would have you believe that vote
turns a woman into a monster. Yet,
when young man, arriving at the
age of 2l, gets the vote, does he, or
does he not, become a monster
But to hear the anti-suffragist5
talk you'd think that every voting wo-
man was like that lady, rich in her
own right, TO whom her husband
said:
my suspicious are at last con-
firmed. We part forever from this
moment.
But the guilty lady fetcrted
haughtily:
Not at all, sir. Not at all. It's
my invariable rule to require a
months notice from every husband "

FIRE CASES ARE STARTED
First One Called In District Court
Today and Work of Drawing
Jury Was Started.
ATTORNEYS WORKING NIGHTS

= The first of the 1910 fire cases of
settlers in the Northern part of this
county against. the Canadian North
ern railroad was started before Judge
Stanton in district court this morn
ing. The case is that of Wilhelm
ripple VS.. the Canadian Northern
railroad. The time of the court to-
day was occupied in the drawing of
a jury.
There are twenty-eight cases of
settlers against the Canadian North
ern railroad and the cases grew out
of a fire which swept through the
Ripple country in the summer of
1910. 1t is claimed by the settlers
that the fire was started through
the negligence of the railroad COM
pany and they are endeavoring to
recover for property lost in the blaze.
1t is believed that if ripple is sue
cessful~ in his trial that each one of
the twenty-eight will demand a sep
arate trial.
The case of Martin C. Jennings
against A. T. Wheelock and the
Northern National Bank is being
tried evenings as it was not finished
before the fire cases were called and
Judge Stanton did not wish longer
delay. Jennings is asking for an &C
counting from Wheelock and the
bank on certain logging and saving
contracts.

FOR WORK WITH BOYS

SENTIMENT FAVORABLE HERE

H. w. Mixsell, assistant secretary
of the state Y. M. C. A. board, has
been in Bemidji for the past two days
Investigating the nature of the work
being done here for boys. He got in
touch with many of the leading men
of the city and said that he was sur
prised at the amount of sentiment he
found.
Il find that many who believe Be-
midi should have Y. M. C. A. be-
lieve it necessary to have a building
at once. This is not the case as the
building should not come until a
strong leader is developed. The pri-
mary purpose of such an association
lis to provide a meeting place and
social activity for the young men of
the city. You already have a Com
mercial club, reading room, bowling
alley and small gymnasium and it
would not take much work to con-
centrate them under one head
Mr.. Mixsell left at noon for Cass
Lake and will visit Walker, Park
Rapids and Wadena on his way in
to Minneapolis.

LARGEST ATTENDANCE
More People Saw Minnesota State
Fair Than Any Other Held In
the Middle West.
BY United Press.

BY United Press.
Chicago, Dec 3. - Minnesota had
the largest attendance of any of the
state fairs held in this section of the
country this fall. Nebraska ranked
fifth although the Nebraska fair was
held the same week.
The American Association of Fairs
and Expositions today adopted reso-
buttons approving the Mcguire bill
which is to be presented to congress
at this session and which asks that
an appropriation of 100000 be
granted for the erection of building
on state fair grounds to be used for
agricultural and. horticultural ex-
hibits.
An effort by the Minnesota State
Fair association managers to- have
the date for their fair changed failed
and the annual fair will be held the
first week in September the same
time as the Nebraska fair. The eff
fort to change the fair to a later
date was made principally to accom-
odate Northern Minnesota.

ToA.O. u. W..

From the Evening Kansan-Re-
publican.
The report has been prevalent
IN this community that the A. o.
U. w. of Kansas would raise to
higher rate of assessments, and
it is also said that the Grand
Master has been quoted as say
ing that the rate would be adj
justed at the next grand lodge.
Grand Master Graybill makes
the following statement: 1.-THE
A. o. U. w. of Kansas will not
raise their rates at the next
grand lodge. There is no ne
cessity for such action. We adj
justed our rates when the grand
lodge was held in Wichita, in
1898, and since that time they
have been adequate.
1--WE suffered greatly at that
time from suspension and it was
very difficult to secure new mem
bers, as other orders that were
cheaper informed their pros
pective applicants for our society
that they could insure them a
great deal cheaper and 1t would
be just as safe.
thine has shown, however,
that their statements were in
correct, as it has been proven
that the cheap societies were
doing business at a loss, and the
justment in these various
cheap orders is now taking place.
Because the old A. o.. u. w.
which has been recognized as the
safest of all is now gathering IN
l great many of what we're then
known as the cheap societies
mbers, great deal of unkind
feeling is being shown on the
part of these other societies.
The A. O. u. w. has had near
y half century of experience;
t is the Oldest of all in, America,
md it will continue to do BUSH
ness when a, great many of the
others have fallen by the way
side.
Notwithstanding the fact that
our mem bership decreased for
while after our adjustment of
rates, our reserve fund has been
growing until today it reaches
nearly a million dollars. There
is no mem Der of the A. 0. u. w.
in Kansas today who need fear
the stability of the A. o. U. w.
1t has in the past and will be
in the future recognized as the
oldest, strongest, most reliable
and best fraternal beneficiary or
yanization.
