A LUCKY SHOT.
Il Helped the Captain Out Of an En-.
barrassinq Situation.

In the good old days the revenue cut
tiers carried small rifed cannon. but
they were only used to fire salutes with
and now and then break up a derelict.
The gunnerS were never expected to
hit anything. When they used the
guns on floating wrecks the cutter
would be alongside, and the master
gunner would bang away until he'd
smashed the wreck or used up his am
munition. No one ever thought of
keeping tab.
Captain E. P. Berthoff told a story
the other day which illustrates the con-
ditions which formerly prevailed ON
the treasury feet" When 1t is a mat
ter of running down smusglers or put
ting an end to poaching or mapping a
bad channel or destroying derelicts the
cutters average 100 per cent of eff
cheney.
Few gunners could hit a target" he
said. "Really there was little need.
They didn't use a loaded shell once in
lifetime. But now and then the
board of inspectors came on board. and
then every one was worried and nerv-
Gus until the ordeal was over. The In
spectors visited the cutter commanded
by friend of mine. He ordered out
the firing squad.
Bang went the rifle. The projec
tile hit the target squarely in the cen

happily. And he turned to the inspect

The Lyric.

THE Kings of the Forest" the Selig
photoplay which will be seen at the
Lyric on Monday and Tuesday is one
of the most entertaining and unique
moving picture productions ever seen
here. The play, while possessing ro-
mantle interest, is primarily concern
ed with the wild animals and the real
istic depletion of the latter, in connec-
ton with the play, is one of the thrill
ing features of the presentation. The
pictures were procured by the Seligs
by taking menagerie to California
and putting them on a 300 acre farm
where the surroundings were print
tive and the actors took long chances
while rehearsing for the moving pic
ture play.

Bryan

THERE is talk of Bryan again. To Mr. Bryan justice, we do not
belnye that he is responsible for this. Had he cared to initiate the
example OF Roosevelt. there is little doubt that he could have carried
the primary elections in nearly all the States for he has i strong
hold o n many thousands OF Democrats But, like Roosevelt, H. SAID
that he would not be a candidate. and, unlike Mr. Roosevelt, he has
kept his word. With thaA Bryan is very likely to be nominated at
Baltimore. We hope he 81 not be We admire his ability and have
confidence in his upnghtHess But this is not his year We should
give the country a candidate who will appeal to the sound sense OF the
people: a plain. simple. Constitutional President Between this and
November there is almost certain to develop a great reaction against
the noisv dcmogogues who o please the multitude. There are signs
in plenty that the country is at heart sick and ashamed of the humil

holds some ideas that are worthy of
serious consideration. One thing Be-
midji has not and which has been
found useful in other cities is num-
icipal rest room. These rooms are
fitted up particularly for the women.
They mean that when women come
here from the country or small towns
around they will have a place in
which they can spend an hour or SO
resting after becoming fatigued from
shopping. In other cities, these rest
rooms have become quite popular
with the farmers wives, and on Sat.
urdays are used as headquarters
in which farmers from one end Of
the county can meet those from thu
other end. Toilet conveniences, such
as could be arranged for such a room
are badly: needed in Bemidji. .3S

Some difference in the tempera
Fire Insurance Rates.

Fire insurance rates are not
settled by conferences. No matter
how much the insurers are feted and
entertained, they are powerless to
change the rate one fraction if they
live up to their duty 1t will be good
for Bemidji to entertain the fire pre-
vention society in June, but such an
entertainment does not mean that
the rates here will be reduced. Some
thing else must be done.
Some time ago, the leading fire
insurance companies of America had
2. conference and OF that time they
drew up the specifications of an
average risk. The rate on this risk
was set at certain per centage per
800 valuation. In fixing rates now,
each deviation of the building from
the average is counted for or against
it. For instance, if the rate is four
per cent On the average risk, the rate
on brick, fire proof building would
be less; if the building is used for a
business in which a fire is apt to
occur, the rate will be higher But
the average risk is taken as the base.
1t will be seen, therefore, that Be-
midji will have high fire insurance
rates as long as the risks are as high
as they are at present. The way in
which to reduce the rates is to lower
the risks and then call the attention
of the insurers to the change. Cellars
can be cleaned up; waste piles under
stair ways and in corners can be re-
moved; the ash pile can be taken
away from wooden partitions;
electric wires can be protected so
that the chances for short circuits
are decreased; oils, paints, waste,
ETC., can be stored where the danger
of spontaneous combustion is lessen
ed; back yards can be cleaned up;
there are hundreds of ways in which
the risk can be reduced.
A "clean-up" day for Bemidji, such
as the Twin Cities have every spring
might not come amiss. Once the
hazards are reduced it will be COM
paratively easy matter to get the
rates reduced.

tains arc installed in the High school
and have proven satisfactory there
The mayor told the council that he
intended to abolish the abuses of
gambling as carried on in the city
and would instruct the chief of po-
lice to see that his orders were car
ried out. He did not go into detail,
but intimated that the abuses were
prevalent. -.
In regard to children being on the
streets. it is a common sight here in
the evenings to see young people in
their teens roaming the down town
and also the dark street sections at
ter supper. While these things may
not be bad in themselves, these peo-
pie are given too good a chance to
come in contact with the evil that is
to be found and they cannot help
becoming contaminated. This seems
to be more a matter for parental reg
ulation than police, but if the par
ents are so blind that they cannot
see or do not care where their sons
and daughters are drifting, it be-
comes a matter for the city authori-
ties.
A higher license has been needed
in Bemidji for some time. The IL
cense now is at figure where man
of no responsibility can open a sa-
loon and run it in any manner he
sees fit knowing that the chances for
! revocation of his license are small
but that even if the council does take
that stand, his loss is small compared
| with the prospective gain. Higher
license will mean that more care will
be exercised in order that it may not
be lost; it will mean that the dump
! Gloss of saloons will have to go; it
! will moan fowo,. ca1ooDc ood q o1oo,
er living for the men engaged in that
line OF business; it will mean a
slightly increased revenue for the
! city. The mayor recommends $1,000
} per year. Deer River has a $1,000
! license and might be called a model
saloon town.
! We do not believe that parties
have any place in municipal affairs,
! but we do believe in definite issues
and alignment along those issues.
Socialist or not, the mayor deserves
the assistance Of every citizen who
! hase the welfare of Bemidji at heart
He was elected on a plain platform
and he is doing his best to live up tc
it. His plans as outlined in his mes
sage are for law and order and a
better Bemidji He is worthy of al
the help that can be given him.
