The Bemidji daily pioneer. [volume] (Bemidji, Minn.) 1904-1971, 1913-09-17

Never before in the history of the
county have the farmers and city
folk taken such interest in the an
nual exhibit as was shown this year.
Never before was the attendance SO
large and never before was the pro-
gram with regard to special attrac-
lions so we'll received.
Summit Club First
The Summit Farmers club ran a.
way with first money for the best farm
ers exhibit taking the banner from
the Grant Valley boys. They sure
did have an excellent display with
the Grant Valley club a close second.
Out of a possible 1000 points the
Summit club received S94 and the
Grant Valley club $50 points. The
Eckles Farmers club was third and
the Port Hope club fourth.
The prizes were $35, $50, $25 and
$40 respectively.
Hits Takes IL Firsts
Lee Hits made a fine showing in
the vegetable exhibits, displaying an
exhibit that would be a credit to
any state fair. Among the others
who were in the front rank on first
prizes were L. A. Gould nine firsts,
A. P. Richie and August Jarchow
each eight, w. T. Blakley seven, Mrs.
A. P. Richie six, John D. Lunn five

When John Morrison arrived in

there when it comes to boosting.
Here's dollar for the fund to help
pay for the band"

ices should be devoted, not to the itera-
ton of abstract propositions in theology,
but to the setting before mems minds
of an ideal of true, just and pure liv-
ing; d place in which those who are
weary Of the burdens of daily cares
should find moments rest in the con
temptation of the higher life, which is
possible for all, though sustained by SO
few; a place in which the man Of strife
and business should have time to think
how small, after all, are the rewards he

A writer in the Saturday Transcript
narrates Interestingly the origin OF the
following frequently quoted couplet;
Here stand, before Master Blodgett;
He's goin' to strike and I'm goin' to
dodge it.
'In conversation with an old man the
other day, without any suggestion on
my part except the general trend to-
wards old times he gave what seems
TO be the foundation of the couplet,
which ! imagine some OF your readers
may be interested in. In an old octagon
schoolhouse (still standingl at East

story was a pupil; that was in the win

CURRENT COMMENT
Wagons for Collecting Refuse.

Most cities set limit to the size of
cans which may be used for garbage and
ashes, because of the difficulty of raising
1t is reported that considerable pro-
portion OF the men engaged in collect
ing city refuse, in the larger cities at
least, suffer from strains and rupture
caused by lifting heavy cans.
1t seems to us that sufficient atten-
ton is not paid to the possibility of min
imizing the severity of this work by
lowering the sides of the wagons into
which ash and garbage cans are to be
dumped. Most of these are five feet
or more high above the street, and ev-
cry inch above three feet six inches is
a serious addition to the strain of lift
ing. Why cannot all wagons used for
this purpose have the bodies hung low.
to within, say, one foot of the pave
ment; or with low sides, making up the
capacity in lengthl Not only would this
be easier on the men, but we believe
there would be a saving in time of dump
ing cans into such wagons which would
much more than compensate for any adj
ditional cost. Low hung bodies are used

der to obtain greater capacity and it
is certainly possible to use the same run
ming gear for lower and longer bodies.
For collecting street sweepings, also,
low wagons would offer an advantage,
in that the dirt could be thrown into
them with less effort, more quickly and
with less scattering of the material over
the street again.-From Municipal Jour.

A few of the United States blueiack-
cts who are visiting in Italy cast a
shadow on the whole by their disgrace
full actions in the city of Naples, meet
ing the hospitality of that city with
an exhibition of rowdyism which is very
much to be regretted. Before that time
there had been no serious breach of gen
tlemanly behavior, and it was hoped
that the undoubted spirit of deceney
that pervades the whole organization
would be sufficient to hold few roist-
erers in check; but the hope was vain,
as indicated by the press dispatches
from Naples. A lesson in manners would
not be a bad thing for the few if they
can be singled out from the main body
OF the bluejackets and be made to pay
the penalty for their poor response to
the hospitality accorded them by the
Italians,

had lowered mouse through an open
seuttle over the teachers head during
some evening doings.' As punish
ment, the teacher said next day when
he found out who did the trick that he
would whip the boy unless he could
make up some rhyme on the spot. My
informant said that the boy hesitated
a moment, and then broke out with this:
Here | stand before Mr.. Blodgett

Il told the old man how had heard
or read the rhyme years before and

AMATEuR prison REFoRMERs.

Two women amateur "prison reform
ers" came out of the Auburn, n. Y,
prison, where they had been confined
for week or more, unknown to any OF
the prison attaches except the warden
and one other, and they straightway find
cause for complaint of the treatment ac-
corded prisoners in the institution on
thu ground that while the prison is
"shiningly clean ON the surface" there
Is underneath that cleanliness the "hor-
ror of suppressed human nature" to-

getlier with the ''terror OF silence" and
"other things" After hearing of those
conditions in the Auburn prison, one is
apt to wonder what the two women sup
pose prison ought to be, whether it
should be palatial hotel, where meals
are served a la carte, where afternoon
teas, with conversation mixed in, are the
rule, where nightly grand opera Is pro-
vided for the inmates, etc. The COM
mon notion of prison is a place where
members of society are kept for certain
periods during which society viii be pro-
tected from them and they themselves
can see the error of their ways and take
different routes when once released from
restraint. Possibly that is an old-fash-
toned notion and to be relegated to the
dim, distant past; perhaps society must
take up the work of entertaining these
guests" who are temporarily enjoying
the hospitality of the state. Still we
think not. Horror of suppressed human
nature"--they are put in prison to sup
press their human natures which have
gone the wrong course. Terror OF 81

culated to make the inmates think of
the wisdom of pursuing straight paths
when allowed their freedom. Sentimen-
talsm gone astray, that's all However,
there was one complaint which is down
to earth and sensible that is, poorly
cooked food. Let's improve the cooking;
prisoners ought to be given wholesome
food well prepared. Therein let there

Meeting Yesterday.
Rutland, Nov. ts.-.2larriage and
divorce" was the subject considered
by the Rutland Clerical club at its
monthly meeting yesterday. The con-
census of opinion was that there should
be more stringent laws relating to the
process of marriage, such as the method
OF securing license and the requirement
of the publishing of bans certain num-
Der OF days before marriage can take
place. This latter arrangement would
give ministers the privilege of knowing
who We're intending to be married and
would give them chance to investigate
as to who the parties were and to find
out if they considered marriage bene-
fetal
Under the present arrangement the
minister is approached at his home and
without knowing either party TO the
contract, he is required to make them
man and wife regardless OF the fact that
they may be entirely unsuited to each
other and that the contract may last but
short time.

1t is a somewhat reassuring sign that
President Wilson has taken up policy
of telling the general public about the
progress of the negotiations with Mexico
rather than to conduct the negotiations
just as it pleased him and to let the
public talk about it afterwards. As far
as the revelations will not interfere with
the negotiations being made, the people
of the United States have a right to
know what their servants are doing.

Under Advisement

Dispatches from San Francisco are to the effect that the United States circuit court of appeals, sit ting in that city, has taken under advisement the cases against the Arizona full-crew and 3-cent-fare laws, which are being bitterly at- tackled by the Santa Fe and seven other railroads doing business in this state.
 The delay is to enable the state supreme court to pass on the "quail case," in which Wood Allen is ac- cused of violating the state game law by shooting quail without a hunters license.
 Aliens defense is that the game law was not legally submitted to the people of Arizona November 5, be- cause that was not general cleo tion and insufficient notice had been given the voters that the meas ure was to be submitted for their 
 If the game law is not a law, the other laws, including the constitu- tional amendments, were not le- gally submitted, and therefore can not be enforced. If the full-crew and Scent fare statutes cannot be enforced the applications of the railroads to prevent their enforce ment will be immediately dis
