Gilbert A. Benson of Malcolm, Min

River Falls, to which place he drove
his automobile, a distance of fifty
six miles from his homestead.
Mr. Benson brought with him sam
pies Of clover and rye. Also a sample
of the soil on which it was grown.
The bundle of rye contained several
stems over seventy-two inches long
and one seventy-six and one half:
inches longs. AS far as is known this
is the longest stem of rye ever exhib-
tied in the northwest. #.
Mr.. Benson has a>homestead of one
hundred and sixty acres north of Red
Lake in Beltrami county, of which
thirty acres is now under cultivation.
He came here from South Dakota a
little more than one year ago, and is
at the present proving to the far
mers in that vicinity that this rich
peat soil will produce abundantly.
"The crops look fine. Couldn't be
better. There is lots of hay and the
grains, clover, alfalfa, corn and pota-
toes will all produce record crops. 1

CANNOT 90 ON STRIKE
By CONGRESSMAN Clyde H. Tayenner.

~ Congressman Clyde H. Tayenner.
Washington, July 25-Eighteen'
years in a struggle to emancipate
sailors sail 81: held ED in legalized peonage
devised when serfdom still existed in
Europe, and no succe1s yet IN sight.
That| is the story of Andre Furu-
SETH legislation agent of the Inter
national Seamen's Union of Ameri-
ca, one of the great tragic figures in
labof's struggle upward.
The sailor, under existing laws
and treaties, cannot be regerdad as
free laborer. He must sign with a
vessel for term. If he strikes against
oppressive treatment he is mutineer
and can be severely punished. His
wages are withheld until the end Of
his service, and the laws are
such that he can be virtual
ly sold into further servitude by his
creditors: If he deserts in port, even
though he may be a British or Ger
man subject, the officers of benifi-
cent American liberty hunt him
down as criminal and return him
to slavery. He is entirely outside the
18th amendment of the constitution.
+ These laws were adopted over a
century ago when there were serf-
dom in Europe. In that day they
:aeteaHy impreved theseeonoInte COM
dition OF the seafarer, for. the law
provided that any serf signed as
sailor must be given his freedom. But
in succeeding years the ship owners
have shifted what responsibility
rested upon them under the old law,
leaving only the shackles and chains
which enslave the most wretched oc-
cupation on earth. -.
Furuseth almost won in the Con-
gress. A bill which ended involun-
tary servitude at sea passed the
House. But the Senate amendments
eviscerated it, and, though some of
these evil amendments were killed
before the bill passed, President Taft
successfully suppressed the law on
the last day Of his term by pocket
vetoing'' it. And now Furuseth is
again at the doors of the Democratic
administration asking humbly for
the legislation.
But the white sailors of the earth
are not so patient. They stayed be-
hind Furuseth for many years. But
last year the guests of a strange,
new cult went among them coun-
selling hatred and violence and des-
truction the Industrial Workers of
the World-the I. w. w.
In one short year the I. w. w. has
recruited most of Furuseth's organi-
cation on the Atlantic coast, and
now the revolutionary organization
has set up headquarters on the San
Francisco water front. Furuseth's
organization is running from under
his feet like sand in a strong cur
rent of water. But still he remains
in Washington seeking relief by
peaceful means.
Furuseth realizes that general
strike, such as the I. w. w. propos-
es, will not only fail but will result
in driving white sailors off the seas,
substituting the yellow, brown and
black races with their inferor stand
fContinuea on last pagsl.

ALL WELLS ARE SANITARY
Thirty Five Foot Emergency Well
Tests High For Water From

Z 'T
The State Board OF Health again
examined the water from our city
supply wells and found it absolutely
pure. Says the report, "The water
supply of Bemidji in a report issued
by this division under date of July
25th, 1912 was found to be unusual
~ pure and on the date OF the present
visit a careful inspection of the wa
ter supply and field conditions were
found to conform with those reported
at the time of the previous investi-
CATION"
The water turned into our pipes
from the shollow we'll at the time
of the Rex Hotel fire was also analy-
lied and the bacterial count was
found relatively high for water from
such source and the results indicate
the absence of dangerous contamina-
tion. The following is the report as
filed with superintendent Kirk.
Analytical Data h.
See analytical sheets, samples 1904
to 1907, inclusive Interpretation
OF Results.
Sample 1904 representing water
collected from the old drilled we'll
adjacent to the pumping station,
shows a bacterial count of las per
&C, and B. coli was not found present
in 100 c.c,ztamounts. This relatively
high bacterial count for water from
such a source but the examination
shows the absence of dangerous con-
tamination.
+ Sample No. 1905 representing
water from the new drilled we'll 365
feet from the pumping station, be-
tween the G.. N. and the 500 Ry.
tracks, shows a bacterial count Of
40 per &C., and B. coli was not found
present in 100 c. G. amounts. These
results show the water to be of good
sanitary quality.
Sample No. 1906 representing
water from the driven wells located
under the street near the pumping
station, shows bacterial count of
575 per c. c. and B. coil was not
found present in 100 c. c. amounts.
The bacterial count is relatively high
for water from such source, and the
results indicate the absence of dam
gerOus contamination.
Sample No. 1907 representing wa.
ter collected on the distribution sys-
tenn, shows a bacterial count of 60
per c. c., and B. coli was not found
present in 100 c. c. amounts. This
result indicates the water to be of
good sanitary quality.
The results of this investigation
show the absence of contamination
in the water from each source.
Conclusions and Recommendations.
/. The results Of this investiga-
ton show the public water supply to
be fit for public consumption.
2. The analytical results would
indicate that the driven wells might
be used in case of emergency. It
should be stated however, that these
wells are shallow, not especially
well located, and their continuous
use is not recommended.

WET GOODS AND CITY GOVERNMENT
If the dry goods stores of Chicago or the
meat markets or the drug stores of Chicago
should combine and go into politics for the
purpose of securing control of the city coun-
Gil in their own special interest, the Chicago
public would need to protect itself from such
an arrogant combination. Yet the saloon in

United Societies, are out as usual trying to
secure pledges from the candidates for alder
on the subject of liquor selling These

goods
This piece of effrontery should be re-
scented by every self-respecting candidate for
public office. The pretensions of the dealers
in drinks are all the more extraordinary in
view of the fact that they engaged in
business which the world over is recognized
as necessarily under police control Common
sense if not common decency should suggest
to them the wisdom of conducting them
selves discreetly and modestly in their ques-
