Which The True
Prophet
BY THEODORE ROOSEVELT

The most important lesson,
therefore, for us TO learn from
Belgium's fate il that, as things
in the world now are, We must in
any great crisis trust for our
national safety to our ability
and willingness to defend our
selves by our own trained
strength and courage.
We must not wrong others:
and Tor our own safety We must
trust, not to worthless bits of
paper unbacked by power, and
to treaties that are fundament-
ally foolish, but to our own man.
liness and clearsighted willing
ness To face facts.
BY NICHOLAS MURRAY BUTLER
The time may not be very far
distant when TO be the first
moral power in the world will be
a considerably greater distinc-
tiou than to be the first military
power, or even the second naval
power. which latter goal is so
constantly and SO subtly urged
on the people OF the United
States. How any one, not fit
subject for the madhouse, can
find in the awful events now hap.
pening in Europe a reason for in.
creasing the military and navaI
establishments and expenditure.
of the United States is to me
wholly inconceivable.

The First National Bank of Gunnson
is one of some s3s member banks of the
tenth district and has subscribed for
capital stock equivalent to six per cent
of its capital and surplus. By reason
of the more elastic currency feature of
the new system. banks in small towns
are required to carry twelve per cent of
demand deposits and five per cent of
time deposits due after thirty days, in
stead of the fifteen per cent demanded
under the old law, so that this in itself
releases more cash throughout the ma
ton when needed for moving crops.
State Banks and Trust Companies in
Colorado cannot as yet become member
banks of the new system, since a state
law prohibits such bank owning stock
in another bank. However, it is quite
probable this law will be changed.

CANNOT SECURE GAMES
Manager Malone Unable To Arrange
Basketball Games For Athletic
Quint-Have Clean Record
CHAsKA FIVE NOW ON TOUR

Letters and kilograms have failed
to induce any teams in northern Min
nesota to come to Bemidji to meet
the Athletics for contest. Virginia,
Hibbing, Grand Forks, Crookston,
Fosston, Thief River and other cities
that are represented by quints this
season do not wish to come here for
games for various reasons and refuse
to take the Bemidji aggregation to
their home town for game as they
claim the basketball enthusiasm is
not strong enough to warrant the
payment of expenses. a
According to the manager of the
local five any team in the state will
be accommodated and a good guaran-
tee given them to come here for one
or more games. r.-
Following practically the same
route as the Minneapolis Ascensions
the Minnesota Sugar Company Bas-
ketball team of Chaska Minnesota
are touring the west as far as the
Washington line.
The Chaska five claim the profess
sional championship of Minnesota
and claim that the Minneapolis AS
tensions have refused to meet them
to decide which team is entitled to
the honors. The outcome of the con-
tests played on the western tour is
being watched with interest by ath-
letes throughout the state. On the
18th. of this month they will meet
the Triple B quint of Billings Mon
tana. which will be their hardest
game of the season.

W. E. LET ENTERS RACE
Long Prairie Man Will Again En-
deavor to Land Governorship-
Does Not State Ticket
ACCUSES MACHINE POLITICS

st. Paul, Feb. 3.-Announcement
was made by w. E. Lee Of Long
Prairie that he will be candidate for
governor at the primaries next June.
Coincident with this announcement,
which tends to divide the opposition
to Eberhart, came announcement Of q
meeting in Minneapolis to arrange q
conference for the purpose Of uniting
the opposition to Eberhart.
Mr. Lee in his announcement care
fully omits to state on what ticket he
will file. He was q candidate for the
Republican nomination in 1912, but it
has been rumored that he will file as
a Progressive this year. In 1900
word statement he declares that the
logic of the situation leads to my
present candidacy"
He alleges that IAN antiquated and
complex governmental system, sub
servient governor with his enormous
patronage and system of enforced as
sessments; an unholy alliance OF
brewery interests, public service cor
porations and other special privilege
seekers and an astute professional
boss directing the machine, have
made the Tammanyism Of Minnesota
an accomplished fact"

The telegraph

Unless at least a start is made this
session toward government owner
ship Of telegraphs and telephones,
there is little likelihood that any
thing will be done with it at all by
the present Congress.
There Is time to consider the nee
essary legislation at this session,
whose termination is still indefinite.
But it has long been favorite excuse
for Congress to defer important leg
islation in short sessions because of
lack Of time for proper consideration.
The session which begins next Dec
ember will end on the stroke of mid
night on March 3, 1915. In that
session it is probable that nothing
will be done except enact the neces-
sary appropriation bills. So, unless
the President calls a special session
Of Congres the present session is the
last for two years in which import
ant legislation will be enacted.
Now seems to be the golden OPP
portunity for Congress to get busy
with the postalization of telegraphs
and telephones. Almost every lead
er in Washington favors the PROPOSE
ton as an abstract theory at least.
Postmaster General Burleson has re-
commended it, and the Department
has just sent to the House committee
the report of the most exhaustive
government investigation of tele-
phones and telegraphs ever made. If
the House could pass the Lewis Bill
at this session. it would virtually in
sure the final adoption of the govern
ment system by this Congress, since
the Senate would have time to pass 1t
next winter while waiting for the ap-
preparation bills to come from the
House.

From Congressman C. H. ,Tayenner.

From Congressman c.. H. Tayenner.
Washington, Feb 3-The House
itself will probably have the oppor-
tunity this session to vote on the
Stevens Bill, which would give the
Interstate Commerce complete ad-
ministrative authority over measures
of safety in railroad travel. While
the railroads have been making a
desperate effort to stave off this leg
islation, there is strong sentiment
in the Interstate Commerce Commit
TIT in favor of the bill, and it will
probably be reported out to the
House.
At the recent hearing on the bill
the so-called operating committee of
the railroads of the United States
were represented by ex Senator Faul-
kner, of West Virginia. No attempt
was made by Foulkner to discount
the value of the legislation. Instead
Faulkner shed figurative buckets of
tears about the overload of work I'M
der which the Interstate Commerce
Commission is staggering, and de-
clared it to be out of the question
to add even a single straw to that
burden.
Then, to cinch his argument, Faul-
kner contended that the administra-
tive, rate-making body would be the
only proper commission to have
charge Of the enforcement Of safety
regulations, since the commission is
also the body which determines rail-
road revenues out of which the cost
Of improvements for greater safety
would have to come.
1t was very impressive argument,
and it seemed to convince the Com
mittee on all except one point. 1t
seems to be the opinion of the Com
mittee that the Commission can put
on a few more employees and take
care NJ rho nytra work
