IS BELTRAMI BOOSTER.
Iowa Man Responsible for Bringing
of Many Farmers Here.

One of the most energetic and con-
slant boosters for Beltrami county
lands is G. E. Brinejar, of Thayer,
Iowa, who arrived in Bemidji this
morning with six successful farmers
of southern Iowa who are consider
ing the advisability of locating here.
The men, who are, w. K. Coon, S.
G. KatZenbar, f. S. Porter, Walter
long, G. H. Corney and R. G. Carson,
are visiting in the vicinity of Neb-
ish this afternoon. Brinejar has
been instrumental in the locating of
large number of farmers here. 'It
is easy to secure settlers for Bel

they have visited here they become

jury at the last term, Of seeurts+in,

for the plaintiff for the full amount
asked. A motion for new trial
was then made by the defendant,
Gould, who died several weeks ago
in Minneapolis ~,
In memorandum appended to his
order, which was filed today, Judge
Stanton says:
"While it is, as many court de-
cisions declare, a delicate thing to
set aside or reduce a verdict for
damages, in case where the amount
is not susceptible to accurate meas
urement, feel that it would be an
injustice to permit the verdict in this
case to stand for the full amount
returned. I am satisfied that re-
covery of $4,000 is adequate and
ample" ...-.

DENIs0N's THEORY IS CORRECT

(By Congressman G. II, Tavenner)
Washington, September 9.Prac-
tical Democracy is beiEg applied to
the Philippines by Winfred T. Den
ison, President Wilson'S secretary of
the interior for the Philippine ISL
ands. After all these years of mis-
rule in the Philippines, the natives
at last have in authority over them
a man who understands their prob
lens and who is trying to build civ
ilization from the hearts of the ma
tives outward, and not forcing it
down their throats.
Denison goes on the theory that
the American way of doing things
my not be the best way for the Fill
pino. He goes on the theory that
the Filipino is eager for civilization,
but that he must be allowed to gain
the goal in his own way and Of his
own free will. The theory is work
ing excellently. In recent speech
before the City club Of Manila Den
ison told some Of his experiences, and
they seem to demonstrate that for
the first time true benevolent as

Denison's theory was well illustra-

Manila from the Mountain province
by native carrier. According to
American ideals this service should
have been rendered in much shorter
time. A cynical American said to

ison. eff the Filipino people prefer
to have their letters arrive in three
weeks and do it themselves, why
haven't they got the right to do it
that way. Isn't it human nature to
prefer to do thing yourself in your
own way than to have an alien peo-
pie do it for you in their way?''

Paris, Sept. 9.-Declaring that our
successes are continued, General Gal
lieni, military governor of Paris, to-
day declared that the Paris defense
army can safely be pushed forward
to aid the British-French column in
crushing the German right wing.
The French center holds fast, and
the right and left wings are driving
the Germans before them. AS a re-
suit of this development, the German
center must eventually fall back in
order to protect itself.

London, Sept. 9.-That the allies
have taken the offensive and are
making some advances against the
Germans operating to the northeast
of Paris is indicated in advices from
the war zone, but the cautious tone
of the official communica tons issued
by the French seem to show the for
ward movement Of the allies is only
feeler to ascertain the + : il for
the puzzling eastward swi1:. .. the
German right. In any event a de-
cisive battle cannot be long post
poned. The move has cleared the
western valley sof the Seine OF Ger
mans. and given Paris "a breathing
spell.
The battle continues along a front
of 40 miles, from Nanteuille-le- Haul
deuin to Verdun. The Germans in
their turning movement have swept
through the entire Compeigne coun-
try and the five German columns are
hurting their strength against the
front of the allied forces. No con-
frmation of the reported humiliation
of the imperial guard under Crown
Prince Frederick William is at hand.
Allies Readjust Their Lines.
The unexpected swing of the Ger
mans has caused a REIMBURSEMENT of
the lines of the allies, resulting in a
battle formation that puts the Ger
man right wing in jeopardy, as the
advance of the allies left proved. Bits
of news already coming in from the
wounded show that the allies left
wing gained distinct success, the
Germans suffering greatly while try
ing to cross the River Marine. AS fast
as pontoon bridges were finished the
French three-inch guns demolished
them before the Germans could CROSS.
Dispatches would indicate the Ger
mans have before the front of their
wedgelike advance the veterans Of
the allies left wing, which underwent
a terrible battering along the Franco
Belgian frontier, but which has been
reinforced. The allies also enjoy the
advantage of having their left flank
supported by the great fortresses Of
Paris, while on their right flank are
the fortresses OF Verdun. At the rear
of the German troops are some of
the fortresses of Maubeuge, still held
by the French, despite terrific Ger
man bombardment.
The so called army of Paris is be-
lieved to be acting as an independent
force, holding the convex side of the
curved battle line and menacing the
German communications.
