WHY NOT GET WELL?

DR.. Lawrence M. Isgrigg is perma-
nently located at Bemidji, and is
able to do in the Healing Line
what many doctors cannot do,
his methods Of healing the
sick are entirely different
from anything used OF
practiced by any 9th
er Doctor in the
Northwest.
DR.. Isgrigg practices the famous
Weltmer system of Suggestive Their
apeutics which is positive, sure, and
permanent in its results when prop
erly applied to diseased body. He
easily succeeds where the average
medical man fails. Diseases pro-
nounced hopelessly incurable by the
Old School practitioner readily yield
to this common sense treatment,
and if you have tried every
thing recommended or prescribed
by your family physician with
out being benefited or obtaining the
desired results, call and DR.. Isgrigg

The illuminate,

The illuminate would be called In
hese days 'Rationalists," or Gree.
thinkers" or Liberals" Founded in
Spain about 1875, the order or sect or
whatever you may choose to call it,
spread over all Europe, becoming es-
pecially strong In France and Ger
many. They claimed that truth, and
the proofs of it, were internal, to be
found in the reason and conscience,
rather than in the outer works Of
things, such as creeds, forms and acts.
The ratlonalism of the illuminate was,
as Matthew Arnold would say, "tinged
with emotion being combination OF
sationalism and mysticism. The op-
position of the church was strong, and
the first of the illuminate paid the
Usual penalty OF being .unorthodox."

Socialism; as It is commonly under
stood, Wilt never gain a. substantial
foothold nSthis country The extreme
to which Old party organizations and
great financial interests and combna-
lions have carried matters has done
much to unsettle and confuse the
people and they have been making a
study OF conditions and practices in
the houpe of securing better methods.
Socialists OF the extreme type, realib-
ing the demorallzed state OF the peo'
pie generally have been busy preach
ing their doctrines, some OF which at
least, appeal to the worst elements OF
society and to the lowest attributes
OF the human mind The lowest ele-
ments in business, in politics and in
society generally by their methods and
practices were real and substantial
aids to- the spread OF socialistic doc
'trines and sentiment. though they were
not aligned with Socialism and in
most cases did not believe in its doc
trlnes. The work OF these elements
was helping to demoralize society, and
decentralization is the meat and bread
of the extreme Socialists. But the UNI
certainty, the unrest, the demorallHa-
ton which has been produced in this
country will not produce the results
anticipated by the Socialists. Instead
of Socialism being strengthened ana
built up by these conditions as its
leaders had, foudly, hoped they are
more likely to be the actual undoing
of Socialism In America, Instead of
tearing down the SOCIAL and political
institutions OF the country and pro
ducing anarchy and chaos they are
more likely to bring death to Socialism
and place our institutions on iirmer
basis. The dark times, financially and
otherwise, through which we have
been passing and which have been so
discouraging and demoralizing in their
nature have only served to make our
people think seriously and to investi-
gate. To a people more illiterate or
less independent such conditions may
have driven them to the extremes of
Socialism and of anarchy, French rev.
dictionary scenes might have been re.
enacted but those things do not thrive
| in the normal American mind. a great
people, like a great person, are not de-
pressed, discouraged and utterly de-
moraiized by adversely and misfoF-
tune. They rise above these things
and make them stepping stones upon
which to climb to something better.
Our people know that prosperity, that
happiness and true greatness are not
found by lowering the standards of
morality, intellectually and religion.
Socialism is not broad enough and
comprehensive enough in either name
or principle to satisfy our people.
There is not enough of freedom, OF
liberty and of humanity. Our people
have had an awakening, they have
passed through the fire and learned
some dearly bought lessons, but all
these things, have not depressed and
hopelessly demoralized them They
have only tended to ennoble and ele'

yate them. The great, free, noble
spirit OF the American people has been
aroused but they do not look to So
cIalIsm for remedy, for relief. They
have in their own hand the remedy
and they know how to apply it. They
know that the remedy lies in more
careful attention to primaries and cleo
lions. In the selection of good men
for all official positions and close
scrutiny OF the conduct OF these Of
ficials after they are elected. In prop
err and just laws for the conduct OF
business Of all kinds, but particularly
of banks, trust companies, railroads
and big businesses generally. In the
punishment of graft, corruption and
crookedness of all finds and the pro-
motion OF justice, honesty and right
eousness. Along all these lines our
people are thoroughly aroused and are
organizing. They are not hampered
by party lines nor confined to party
platform declarations, The welfare
Of the people and the nation is their
only concern and creed. They belong
to no particular party, Republican,
Democratic, Socialist or Prohibition,
but all parties belong to them and the
country is safe in their hands, The
people are safe and they are in the
saddle. That is the kind of Socialism
that is going to prevail in this coun.

TO FIGHT THE TIP.

It his become an intolerable tax upon
people OF limited incomes. The presI'
dent of the commercial organization
declares that it has developed into a
species of graft. The Tip is, as he

of tips should, whether they will or
no, be placed upon a proper wage ba.

says the Commercial Travellers
League president. Whether the ac-
ton taken by the Commercial TRAY.

liar action on the part of other organi'
cations remains to be seen,
Undoubtedly public sentiment gen.
orally is in complete agreement with
the attitude which the Commercial

gard to the tipping custom. 1t is seem.

NOT WEDDEO.

The announcement OF the marriage
of Miss Anna NJ. Campbell OF Morgan
town to Mr.. Edward ], Ferock, a
travelling salesman which has appear
ed in several Morgantown papers as
well as local papers has been strenu'
ously denied by the father OF Miss
Campbell, MIR. II. H. Campbell. The
Morgantown Post Chronicle of yester-
day says:
III. II. Campbell, father OF Miss
Anna NJ. Campbell, stated to The Post
Chronicle this afternoon that the pub
lished report that his daughter and
Mr.. Edward ]. Ferock, were married
is an unqualified lie. The information
was furnished the Post.chlonicle by a
person who failed to give him name,
Mr., Campbell, states that he is aware
OF the identity OF the person furnish
ing the report and that there is abso-
lutely no truth in It,

spread and grow The fact of the mat
ter is that those who eat frequently at
hotels and restaurants are fully aware
Of what is expected by the employees
and in the end are towards. Proprte-
tors generally are disposed to wash
their hands of responsibility and to
assume that they have absolutely no
interest in the tips. But whether they
share in the tipping profits or not,
they are enabled to secure better ser
vice at lower pay because of the extra
remuneration derived by those who
serve them from the donations of Gus
toners. Tipping cannot be suppressed
by law, for this has been tried. 1t is
an institution that seems to thrive in
spite OF opposition.
