WAY T0AYOlD SOCIALISM
Says That Passage of Trust Bills
Would Act As Safety Valve to In
crease in Party Voting Power.
GROW AS DO .M0NoP0L1Es

By Congressman G.. H. Tavenner
Washington, June 27.-Represen-
tative, M. E. Burke, of Wisconsin,
sees in the new trust bills a safety
valve which will save the United
States from Socialism. ..'
THE tide of Socialism has been
rising in this country for the last
decade until it now numbers about
100000 voters, and it's growth con-
tinues," said Mr. Burke 81 prophecy
that unless these antitrust bills or
something similar are enacted into
law and enforced, the tide Of Social
ism will swell until it overwhelms
all other parties. =,
eff those who profit by trusts
combinations, and monopolies desire
to avoid Socialism, it is up to them
to submit to the moderate regula-
lions proposed in these bills, for just
SO sure as the iron hand of monopoly
continues TO Cypress the people, just
so sure will Socialism finally succeed
and overthrow not only monopolies
and trusts, but our republican in
situations.
Such vast increase in trust, COM
binations and monopolies and IN
their nefarious practices and bust
ness methods have and are creating
more and more dissatisfaction each
year among the common. people of
the country AS these trusts have
grown in number and power, so has
Socialism grown in numbers ond
power.
The Cost of War.
That the per capita expenditure
for wars, past and anticipated is
$40 for each man, woman and child
in the United States is the estimate
of Representative w. w. Baily OF
Pennsylvania. Mr.. Bailey is max
ing campaign issue of the military
and naval expenses of the United
States. ANY party responsible fol
such monstrous burden upon the
toilers would be destroyed by the
fury of the Masses" he says. "Yet
the burden is born without muir.
muir, since the nature of it is MOI
understood"
Representative Bailey has tabulatet
for each town in every county of hi:
district the distributive share o.
army, navy and pension appropria
tions. The, total of his distric

$39,893, While Altoona with a popu
lation of $4,000, pays nearly $214,
900 each year for military purposes
Mr. Bailey blames the indirec
system of taxation for the existenc

He takes "a slam at the popula

|BEMIDJI VISITED
BY Big WIND STORM.
Damages Amounting to Several Hun
dred Dollars Caused During Near
Tornado Logs Break Away.
CITY STREETS IN DARKNESS
Electric Light Wires Cut by Falling
Trees Many Boat Houses De-
stroyed by Waves and Wind.

What is believed to be the most
severe wind and rain storm in the
history of Bemidji visited the city
last night, causing damages of sew
eral hundred dollars. Men who have
been residents of Bemidji for
eighteen years claim that never be-
fore has this section suffered from
til wind as it did last night.
Wires Are Cut.
Electric light wires were cut by
falling trees telephone and electric
wire poles were pulled up, awnings
destroyed, boat houses and buildings
damaged by the wind. Waves of
Lake Bemidji were never larger and
repeatedly did they wash over the
City dock and the boat landing OF
the City boat company. The doors
Of the large boat house were stripped
from their hinges, the boats torn
from the ropes, the waves taking
them out of the stalls, only to wash
them against the shore. rs
Boat Houses Destroyed.
At Grand Forks bay the boat own
ers were the. heaviest losers, several
boat houses being entirely destroyed
docks were also swept away. go.
Street Lights Out.
Nymore, Mill Park. and the streets
of Bemidji were dark after ii
O'Clock, the wires being grounded.
The Mill Park and Nymore lines
dropped into the river at the bridge,
while the line furnishing Juice to
the street arches and street lights of
the business and residence districts
of Bemidji was cut by falling trees.
The electricity for the business
houses and residences was cut off
several times during the night by
wires coming into contact with each
other.
City Plant Ready:
In order that the city would not
be entirely dark if the line to(the dam
power plant should become useless,
the Warfeld company had the Be-
midji plant fired up and ready for
instant use. This was not needed
! for the line was not damaged in any
! way. '
Today an extra large crew of cleo
| tricians is at work on the different
! lines, from Nymore to the cemetery,
all Of which were put on the 'blink"
and Andrew Warfield said this after
noon that the company expects to
have all damages repaired and ready
for use this evening.
Logs Break Away.
| The boom gang of the Crookston
. Lumber company has been kept busy
all day picking up about 100000 feet
of logs which the waves assisted in
lifting over the boom. The boom
did not break. Almost all of the
logs drifted to the Bemidji shore
where they were readily picked up
by the steam tug of the lumber COM
pany this morning. r.. ...-.-.
!. Trees Blown Down.
Trees in all parts of the city were
blown down, and so strong was was
the wind that in several instances
windows were broken
Perhaps the most damage was
done at the City boat house. The
waves played havoc with the large
building, the portion of the boat
house in which the large passenger
boat, "The Storm King" is kept, be-
ing almost entirely destroyed. Cap
tain MacLachlan was also also hard
hit by the wind, the large barge on
which his office and waiting room
for his boat service it situated, be-

SPIRIT" WAVES;
 SCHOLARSHIP IS HIGHER

Seattle, Nov. 16-Students at tho University of washington have been prone to the vanishing of "college spirit this semester, broadly in timating that the cause is the ab- olition of hazing. The only wrinkles their criticism brings in the face of President Landes form themselves into @ smile.
 'The faculty isn't worrying very much about the so-called loss of college spirit" he told the mem bers of the University Press club, when Quizzed by them as the week ly conference. Scholarship has never been so good. Conditions and warnings never have been propor- tionately so few. The instructors themselves are continually testify ing to the general increase in class room efficiency"
 President Landes asserted that the surplus energies of the students wer being used up in the innumer- able campus activities of leglti- mate character, and that there was no occasion whatever to return to the oIdtime idea of "coIlege life"

She will be. much missed from social circles as well as at the picture shows, where she has been a great favorite. She will leave tomorrow for Skagway, where she will be joined next Tues day by Miss Ethel Leslie, who will accompany her to her home for. d months visit before going on to visit an aunt at San Jose, California.

YUKON NATIVES HAVE TO
 HUSTLE FOR THEMSELVES

The Dawson News of Nov. Sd, says: John Hawksley, superintend- eIt of Indian affairs for Yukon ter ritory, recently received a letter from the Teslin country stating that the dire effect of the European war on the fur market Is being felt sn that region by the Indians. The writer states that the Indians find the prices offered them for furs so low they scarcely caR afford to trap, and that the meager returns will not permit them to earn enough to continue living on the white mans grub. They have to foreso such luxuriees as flour, sugar and possibly tea and tobacco. Requests are made for contributions from the government.
 MT. Hawksley has had a wide ex- perience in this country with IA- dians, covering a sojourn of twenty seven years, and understands the Indian nature thoroughly. He has decided that the natives do not need the white mans iuxuries, and that they are much more healthy and happy when in the hills nustliug their food as they did before the whites came, and that they are mucA more thrifty when thrown on their own resources than when stall-fea on government rations.
 In accordance with this deduction, Mir. Hawksley is not going to Tush an expedition into the Tssliu with bonbons Or doughnuts nor even in- gredients for bannocks. He 'says, however, that the natives will be as- sisted with ample allowance of ann munition, and that they must 60 the rest. He bas applied the same rigid rule at other points in tho Yukon since taking charge. AL Moosehide, near Dawson, where many Indians once received Tatiohs regularly, all now have to earn their own way with the exception of 2 helpless native woman of eishsy years. One buck appeared this wSek and asked for rations. He SaS given cartridges and told to make for hand of caribou which Tas reported in the hills. He has maae tracks, and if he gets afy bakery luxuries this year he will have 70 convert some of the results of tse chase into cash. The governments pays out about S25,OOO annually for assistance to Indians of the 1h- kon, and MT. Hawksley is trying to divert it, he says, into more psR- manent benefits for them,

THE LIGHT FINGERED GENTRY
 HAVE MADE MANY TOUCHES

According to the Dawson News of recent date, sneak thieves and burg lars continue their operations in that city.
 The News now boasts it's own burglar as well as it's own cor respondents and telegraph service. Thursday night five bucks were lift ed from the News office, and last night a sociable fellow entered the place by a coal chute, and made fashionable three o'clock call. He failed to count on the presence Of the News pightwatchman, who was all ears. The watchman called out to the fellow, and he made dash and escaped through the hole through which he had entered be- fore the watchman could bring his artillery into action.
 Hereafter some change always will be left in the cigar box at the edge of the desk, and thesafe will be open, and a lunch ready for the callers. The doors will be unlock ed, and the coal chute open. The News also is now rigged up with all kinds of patent traps, pitfalls, burg lar alarms, automatic arresters and other devices with which to give the visitors an interesting welcome.
 The news would feel it was get ting the best Of a good thing were it receiving exclusive attention, but Of late several other calls have been made.
 Among places understood to have been visited are: John Helwinkle's, where two calls were made and storm windows taken off once; Car lin's, where forty dollars was secur- ed from the till; Okada, the Jap anese mechanic; Pacific Cold Stor- age, where ten simOleons were obtained, while wedding bells were ringing in honor of Manager Docks nupials; Boss Bakery, where the visitors trussed up the doughnut maker and neighbor, and got $79 out of the cash register, and fail ed to get $2OO in well concealed vest pocket; K. T. M. stores, where they got the price of 6 meal ticket and left Johnson most everything else, including guns and padlocks; Dan McDonald's cabin, where fifty dollars worth of nuggets and q rifle were pilfered, while Dan was on the creek; Jack Spence's, where the premises were left intact; Yu- kon Sheet Metal Works, where Bill Strathie set up all night to give the caller a warm reception on his re- turn, and missed the chap only by having to go across the street at a. m. to get @ cup of tea; and El- lingsen's, where the back door was tried, but care taken not to peek in- to the camera.
 Whether it is the same fellows who touched the yukon Gold a year ago at Lovett gulch for a sack of several thousands, after tying up the night crew; whether MT. Cun- ningham, who took to the green hill far away last year; whether the shades of Brophy, Kincaid or Black Bart is responsible cannot yet be said.
