WOMAN IS KNOWN HERE

The Pioneer recently printed a
story from Baudette telling of a Mrs.

is "Conant." She is the wife of
Henry Conant and is we'll known in
Bemidji. They were on the Frank

also on the Duncalf farm for several
years.

Princeton, N. J., Nov. Z. OFF,
cially anticipated, President-elect
Wilson will sail November is for the
Bermudas to be gone two weeks. He
will be accompanied by Mrs. Wilson.
The trip will be one Of absolute
quiet as the candidate is worn out
BY his vacation, Wilson hopes to
avoid the horde Of Office seekers from
all parts Of the United States which
will flock in on him. When he re-
turns in December, definite plans fol-
appointments will be mapped out.
Woodrow Wilson, having rolled up
a big majority in the electoral coll
lege now faces the problem of choos-
ing his cabinet. 1t is known that he
made no promises or pledges before
election day but leading Democrats
insthe nation consider that the fol-
lowing appointments have practic-
ally been decided upon:
William IenningsLBryan for sec
rotary of state. r.
DR.. Harvey w. Wiley as secretary
Of agriculture. :.
Louis D. Brandeis as attorney gen
eral.
Fred B. Lynch and John Burke
have been mentioned as presidential
timber.
The three men above mentioned
for portfolios are among the leading
men of the country. Mr. Bryan was
three times candidate for the presi-
dency, is recognized as an orator and
writer of ability and is. considered
one of the country's leading econom-
lists. DR.. Wiley recently left the pure
food bureau because his work was
hampered Louis Brandeis is the
man who declared that the railroads
were wasting a million dollars a day
through mismanagement.
The official returns for the big

the county and there are but four
votes between Roosevelt, Debs and

and Chain is barely heard. It is
claimed that Wilson is strong in the
upper end of the county and that the
Baudette and Spooner vote will carry
the county for the Democrats. All
parties concede that the Socialists
have a good chaance of carrying the
county for Debs.
Eberhart has safe lead here for
governor and on the state ticket the
Republicans are leading all along
the line. The contest for associate

AVOID NEEDLESS OPERATIONS
Surgeon Says Use of the Knife Is
 Always Dangerous.

The eminent surgeon. Dr. Henry B.. Sands, asked by a friend why he did not procure the removal of a small benign growth which was plain ly visible on the lower surface of his operating forearm, answered: Tt does not trouble me, why shonld I trouble it.
 Every sober minded physician would
 ndorse this view No surgical opera tion. no matter how trival, is entirely free from dangerous possibilities. If it is demanded for the saving of life or prevention of desease or removal of pain, or even of disfisuring defOrmity no surgeon would hesitate to perform it. The individual who would permit temporary discomfort, as is often done for obstruction of the nasal pas sages, or for any ailment which has existed for years without impairing the health or seriously interfering with comfort, is committing seri- ous error.
 It would seem a wise course tC yield to proper medical advice Wher it approves surgical procedures, anC to refuse the latter for all trivial ail- ments, unless the surgeon can clearly define the consequences of declin- ing it-New York Sun.

Publishers Keep Some Serious Books
 From Being Read.

Publishers complain that people do not buy serious books. An eXper- fenced scholar retorts that publishers will not let them. Here is a new and rather important historical work of six hundred pages. It is printed in large type on heavy paper, with wide margins. to make it as bulky as possible. The price is $5, ''postag extra" That is considerable money; but there are some eight hundred public and collegiate libraries that feel bound to buy any new historical work which can claim importance, no matter what the price.
 The publisher would rather have the sure thing of eight hundred copies at 8 than take the chance of selling several thousand copies at $2. Theoretically, books in the li- brary circulate; but it is notorious that people seldom go to a library for new serious book. A reader whose habits or tastes would attract him to new biography say, wants the volumes on his shelves. If it is really worth the trouble of reading he will almost certainly wish to refer to 1t again. He cannot trot down to the library for every reference A reader of such habits or tastes wish es to possess the books in which he is really interested. If he cannot afford to own the book he probably will not read it at all What circu- lates from the library besides fiction, is Taine's English Literature, Macau-

THE DAYS WORK.
Events Leading up to the Nominations

CHICAGO, H., June 22It was 10:43 o'clock when Chairman Root dropped his gavel. The floor was in confusion and the aisles crowded with delegates seeking their seats. Chairman Root, when a semblance of quiet had been se- cured, introduced Rev John Wesley Hill of New York, who opened tn. proceedings with prayer
 The first report presented from the credentials committee recommended the seating of the Missouri Taft dele gates at large. The Roosevelt people presented minority report, but made no fight. The Taft delegates were seat ed by viva voce vote.
 The contested districts were taken up in order, and voted on. As the result of each vote was announced a chorus of shrieks, whistles, groans and cat calls greeted the statement, The ayes have it"
 In order that an adverse vote might not throw out the entire state delega- ton, the committee reported the Wash ingtOn delegates at large and each dis trict delegation separately. In con- sidering the other contests the majority
 
 gates at large had been elected by bolt ing the convention and an illegal pri- mary.
 Sullivan of Ohio presented a minority report holding that the Taft contest was a 'trumped up" case. Sullivan moved to substitute the minority re- port for the majority report, and Wat son moved to table the motion.
 conference was held on the plat form to arrange for debate on the mo- tion and bedlam broke loose on the floor with "TOOt. tOot, choo, choO," :" "ChOO, choo. toot," Slip her in the high Sand the track, Watson, you're slipping"
 Hugh L. Halbert of Minnesota spoke in support of the minority report when quiet was restored. Acceptance of the minority report declared Halbert, will leave the republican party but two alternatives, defeat or Roosevelt. The party can stand defeat with honor, but cannot stand defeat with dishOnor.' A motion to lay on the table was put and carried by viva VOce vote, as was the motion to put the Taft delegates on the permanent roll. This was a distinct surprise After the Washington contest there was a decid- eI lull in the proceedings. Shortly after o'clock the long awaited report on the Texas delegates ! at large was presented. This was a Taft contest and the com 1 mittee favored the Taft delegates. Two minority reports were presented, one | bv Sullivan of Ohio and the other bV i ady of Wisconsin. Following the ma iorlty report, Governor Johnson left the 1 hall, declaring he would not sit in a convention during the nomination foI president and would not be bound by its 1 acts.
 i Governor Johnson stated that all the | CalifOrid delegation desired to retire with him but that he requested then 1 to remain and carry out the genera plan of the Roosevelt delegates.

Big MEETING IT

Working People Enthusiastic
Over His Candidacy Will
Give Him Their Vote.

Lake Charles, La. Oct. 2
Senator Z. Llazaro held q large
meeting last night, at Goosport,
a suburb Of Lake Charles.
It was attended principally by
workingmen, Iaborers IN the saw
mills, and it is believed that the
entire vote of this sturdy class
viii be cast for the Senator on
next Tuesday.
Hon. Sim. Shattuck, Repre-
sentative from this parish, pre-
sided, and eulogized the Senator
in glowing Wsres. Mr.. Shattuek
has worked side-by-siele with
Senator Lazaro, in the general
assembly, and knows his worth.
DR.. Lazaro, who arrived yes
terday from a campaigning tour
of the northern part of Calcasieu,
expresses absolute confidence in
the outcome. j will win, / be-
IeFe, by q large majority : he
said.
Calcasieu give him a hand
some majority This is admitted
even by Mr. Lewis friends here.

This is the endorsement, IN part, of
John w. Lewis, Of Senator Z. Lazaro,
whom he. is opposing, and whom his
campaign committee said last week, in
the paid page Of Mr.. Lewis, was in
competent to fill the office.
The question now is: Who is better
capable Of judging Mr. Lazaro's com
potency, Mr.. Lewis. himself, or Mr..
Lewis press agent?
1t is said that. Mr.. Lewis himself said
on the rostrum that he is better quail
fed than is Dr.. Lazaro torepresent the
district IN Congress. That is a sooth-
ing unction to press to his bosom, it is
an aggravated case Of blowing his
own horn.
But, when Mr.. Lewis makes the
statement that Senator Lazaro is not
qualified, he reckons without the article
in his own paper, but a few months
ago, which said that the Senator is
peculiarly qualified.
To be fair with Mr.. Lewis, the Clar-
ion will print the entire article, which
appeared in the St. Landry Commoner
on May 4, 1912.

is4sEN.4 TOR LII III RQ on LEG
LgL4 gITRE REFGRIf,S.

The CoMMoNEB is ii receipt
of a communication from our
good friend, Senator Lazaro,
with a clipping from the Times
Democrat of a few days since
containing his signed letter on
the subject Of Legislative Ref
erence.
Senator Lazaro is at all times
practical and his letter breatEes
a sincerity for certain reforms
which no one can question. He
is peculiarly qualified to present
the subject, as he has made an
extensive study Of the methods
adopted In the other statks in
the Union.
The senator advocates two
remedies for loose law making,
as he terms it. One is to
amend the constitution so as to
require the legislature to meet
IN session thirty days annually,
one session TO be devoted TO the
introduction Of bills and the hear
ings before the committees to
which they are referred. and the
other session To be devoted TO
finally considering the same
One of the strongest points
in the Senator's communication
is his idea Of Legislative Refer
ence.
In discussing this reform he
says:
: Under this system, before
the legislature would meet, the
department would send a letter
to the representatives asking
them what subject they would
be interested in at Baton Rouge.
From the replies Of these letters
the head of the department would
learn just what laws are likely
to be introduced, and would be
gin gathering information. BT
the time the legislator. who is in
St. Landry clarion. (Opelousas, La.) 1890-1921, 1912-10-05

terestsd in, say Child Labor, ar
rives at the capitol, he would
find there, first, say. critical
data, that is general inforna-
tion On the work done in this
line all over the world, child la
Dor wages, hours, health and
their morals. Second, he would
find lavgs of other states cover
ing the subject.
Again says Senator Lazaro,
Such a Legislative Department
could be established in connec-
tion with the state library at the
capitol. This would in the long
run, create a demand for q Ma
tional Museum Of comparative
legislation and in the end would
save time and money.
But the senator admits, agg-
islators, as q rule sr rot SUI
dents. They mean well. but
there are many things involved
in their duties that they Go not
know
The article IN question con-
cluaes: Now that public senti-
nent seems to be ri for these
remedies. I propose to take the
matter up at the coming session
next May and do all I can to help
better our present system.
The CoMMoNER is inclined to
agree with Senator Lazaro on
both propositions. certainly to
the extent of commencing them
to the attention and serious con-
sideration Of the legislature. and
the public generally.
We heartily agree with the
senator that there is too much
loose legislation on our statute
book, bat we so a step farther,
and affirm that there is a great
deal Of vicious legislation in our
existing laws and which should
be first repealed and amended
before any other subject matter
is taken up by the incoming adj
ministration
