ICE IS DIsAP PEARlNG.
Mississippi River Has Cut a Big
Channel Through Lake Irving
and to Sixth Street Here.
MANY DUCKS HAVE ARRIVED

With a big channel cut through
Lake Irving by the Mississippi river,
the ice is rapidly disappearing and
what is left is full of cracks. 'Inis
morning, fully one-half of the lake
was opened. The river has also cut
a channel into Lake Bemidji and
there is open water to Sixth street
from the railroad bridges. -.
Ducks have begun to come north
and the flock in the open water. of
Lake Bemidji is increasing daily. AS
this is probably the only open water
for some distance, the ducks are rest
ing here before going. farther north.
The ice in Bemidji is going rapidly
and the stiff southern and western
winds which have been blowing the
past three days will aid the break
up materially.
Boatmen believe this end of the
lake will be open by April Is and
that all of the ice will be gone
week later.

DANCE Bill IS KILLED
Lee Measure to Prohibit Use Of
Schools for Parties Voted Down
in the House, 50 to 4s.
SOCIALISTS WANT A CHANGE

st. Paul, April 1.-THE house, 48
for and So against, killed the Lee
bill prohibiting dancing in, public
school buildings This, the last Of a
series of fights on the bill, is probably
the end of it. f=s
There was a debate over it,
which Representative Robert e. Dunn
ended by motion for the previous
question, just as several members
We're preparing amendments to the
bill, including one prohibiting dance
ing anywhere in the state. Before.
that the house had voted down an
amendment, offered by Representa-
tive 8. R. Child, an opponent of the
bill, extending the prohibition to ap-
ply to town, village and city halls
and to the state university. This
amendment was lost only by tie
vote, AZ for and ~ against.
The bill was condemned as an at.
tempt at the old blue law regime,-
and defended in the name of the
consciences of those who do not: be-
lieve in dancing, and do not want to
let others dance who do believe in it.
Socialists Want a Change.
Representative N. s. Hillman had
the house advances the calendar und-
er suspension of the rules the Cheadle
house bill, substituted for Mr.. Hill
mans house bill, allowing the Pub
Tic Ownership part to adopt new
name in state convention called for
that purpose. The party wishes to
adopt its rightful name of Socialist,
OF which it was deprived when it be-
gan business in this state because
there was a Socialist Labor party in
existence which has now vanished.
Want Pay Day More Often.
- The senate has been holding for
several weeks = a bill providing for
semi-monthly pay day for all cor
porations. The bill passed the house
three weeks ago. Thousands of rail-
road employees through Minnesota are
back Of the bill but for unknown rea-
son the senate has delayed action.
The bill now is on general orders in
the senate and unless some friend of
tn measure gets busy pretty soon it
will not have much chance for pas
sage during this session of the legis-
lature.. .zs
It is said that the railroad corpora
lions are opposing the bill because it
would entail extra work to pay the
employees twice month. The bill
was introduced in the legislature by
the committee on labor and labor leg
islation. 1t was pointed out that
employees when first taking their job
have to wait in many cases forty-five
days before they can get any salary
under the present system. They must
work a month and then wait fifteen
days for the regular payday

French Soldiers Can Rise

"In France, as Napoleon said,
every soldier has the marshals ba-
ton in his knapsack.' In theory, at
least, soldier in the French army
may rise to the highest rank. How
it works out practically, I do not
know. We stand for system of ma
tional defense in which the people
have part in the organization and
in the responsibility-some in
the nature of militia or citizens
army, but we are against war;
Pressed upon the point of "patriot-
ism," Herr Bernstein said:
"The word patriotism is dan
gerous one. It can be made to cover
a multitude of things" He was dis
inclined to define "patriosm" from
the Socialist standpoint.
ut has been frequently stated, that
in event of war, the Socialists in the
army and in civil employment, will
strike Is there any truth in this?"
was interposed.
The Revisionist leader, who speaks
good English as result of long exile
in England years ago, moved about
uneasily. 1t was plain that it was
a subject upon which he disliked to
touch. A party of alleged freedom
of thought, speech and action, there
is no political party in Germany
which disciplines it's members so
severely for talking to non-socialists
as the Social-Democratic organiza-
ton. The party conventions practi
cally prohibit it's leaders to give
opinions or to talk for publication
to Representatives of the non-social-
istic press. Ill &c.,. 49,
1t is we'll known that the Revision
lists do not agree with the radical
anti-militarists among the Socialist
movement in Germany, and that this
progressive and more practical wing
of Socialism, has a strong national
istic undertone, which, however, the
leaders are very chary about voicing.
~ Socialists Might Strike.
"There are wars and wars" Bern
stein finally said. 81 cannot say
whether the Socialists would strike or
not strike. It probably would de-
pend upon the war. Many things
would have to be taken into consid-

many were invaded, the Socialists
would do their duty to the Father
land. But he added with smile, 81

Aged People at Mercer

John Wood of Lewiston. a former
resident of this town is visiting his
sister Mrs. Olive Dunton and other
friends. Mrs. Dunton is one of the
oldest residents of Mercer, being 90
years of age and Mr. Wood is SO years
old. They are both remarkably well
preserved and would pass for people
very much younger. than what they
really are. Mr.. Wood we'll remembers
when his father moved to Mercer and
when boy of eleven years drove a
four OK team loaded with goods which
was quite remarkable for a boy of
that age. Mr.. Wood belongs to a
long-lived race his father the late Ma
than Wood being almost 100 years old
at his death. A very remarkable
thing about him is that long after
reaching the age of 80, he cut new
teeth and had new black hair grow in
place of the white hair of former days
which had fallen out. The new hair
looked like baby's hair. This seems
increditable, but nevertheless it is
true.
