A. :. Ritchie Again Urges That Some
thing Be done to Clarity Senatorial
Situation Of This District
VOTERS ARE NOT SATISFIED
Believes That Under Present State
Bitter Campaign Will be Certain
Other Candidates HAY Enter Race

Unless Bemidji in some manner
brings about. the candidacy of some
one man for the state senate. the po-
sition having been conceded by all
to belong to this city, the coming
senatorial campaign will in all pro-
liability be one of the most hard
fought of any in the state.
AS things now stand Bemidji has
two candidates in the field. Each has
his following and the indications are
that the fight for the nomination
will be hard fought. Conditions re-
naming as they now are, it is not
at all unlikely that international
Falls, Baudette or Spooner, will
place man in the race. There is
also the possibility that Charles Car
ter, of Hines, will cast his hat into
the ring, it being lnewn among his
friends that he is considering the
ACCESSIBILITY of so doing. The fact
that L. G. Pendergast, a Bemidji
man, has filed Tor the house of rep
resentatives, only adds to the seri-
BUSINESS of the situation, and to many
in other parts of the district it APP
pears that this city is making an
endeavor to crab the entire tpie."
Ritchie's Opinion
In communication to the Pion-
Ger, A. P. Ritchie, formerly superin-
tendent of thes Bemidji schools, and
now one OF the country's most pro-
minent and successful tillers Of the
soil says:
Seeing the inevitable through
which we must pass during the com
ing political campaign, If conditions
continue, as they are, regarding our
senatorial situation, l am prompted
to again suggest that the people OF
this end of the senatorial district
take steps to settle on one candidate.
I am not saying that either one OF
our avowed candidates could not re-
present us, but am saying that !
have talked with a great many peo-
pie and have not found one who
expressed himself as being satisfied
with the present situation.
"Under the present status we shall
be forced to pass through bitter
campaign involving principles which
should be avoided at this time.
Seeing these things I am again
|renewing my proposition that some
steps be taken to eliminate. In my
Judgment, If any candidate is afrait
OF the people he is not worthy O!
their patronage. s
II am not married to my former
proposition but am Of the opinion
that THE people want this matte
cleared up.
Now let us hear. from some O
you silent fellows who are of tn,
opinion that something should b.
done.''

A heated campaign prior to the
primary election to be held next
Tuesday is now in progress in Ala
bama. Oscar Underwood, majority
leader in the house, is seeking SEN
atorial toga. He is opposed by Rich
mond p. Hobson,. likewise an Ala.
bama representative. Although Under.
wood is better, known throughout the
country than Hobson, the latter is
immensely popular in his own state
and will poll good vote. The cam
paign has been bitter. Underwood S
friends claim he will be elected by
a big majority. Victory at the pri-
mary is equivalent to an election.

CONGRESS MAY PASS
CHILD LABOR Law
Understood that Measure will be Fa-
vored by Committees Southern
Members Not in Opposition
WOULD BE FAIR TO ALL STATES
Investigation Shows that Nearly
Every State Has Laws Governing
to Some Extent Work by Children
By Congressman c. H. Tavenner.

60 by congressman ". II. laVonn0r.
Washington, April 4, 1914-The
proposition whether the federal gov
eminent will attempt to prohibit
child labor in this nation by forbid
ding the product of child labor fac
tories to pass in Interstate COM
merce, is apparently coming to an
issue before the present Congress.
The bill introduced in the House by
Rep. A. Mitchell Palmer, of Pen
sylvania, and in the Senate by Sen
ator Owen, of Oklahoma, is now be-
ing considered by committees, and
there is every reason to believe that
the House committee ON labor will
bring the bill out with a favorable
report.
Should this measure get before
the House the country will see what
weight can be put on the oft repeat
ed charge that the Democrats will
do nothing to prevent child labor
because of the. members from the
South where children are to some ex-
tent employed in the cotton mills.
TIL indications are, however, that
If the House, with it's southern DEM
ocrats, ever gets a whack at the insti-
tuition of child labor it will adopt a
prohibiting bill with a whoop. Most
of the Southerners do not contend
that they cannot compete with nor
thern cotton mills when adults are
employed in both cases. The OBJ
j: clion is that when States attempt
t. prohibit child labor sing.y there
are sure to be great determinations
in business against the States
which are pioneers in this movement.
A general federal law would end
this objection. It would put all
states on the same footing at once.
The Palmer-Owen bill is regarded
as an admirable one by the lead
ers in the movement to abolish child
labor. In many respects the law
simply applies nationally the restric-
tions which many states have al
ready adopted. In ordinary manu-
featuring occupations the bill pro-
hibits the employment of children
under Ia years of age. Forty States
have similar laws. 1t prohibits the
employment of children under 16
years of age in mines and Quarries.
Fifteen States have similar prohibit
ton.
1t prohibits the employment of
children for more than eight hours
day. Eighteen leading industrial
States have taken this position. It
prohibits night work for children. So
do 80 States.
State by State legislation does not
solve what is now generally con-
ceded to be an evil. In testifying
before the Senate Committee Mrs.
Florence Kelly, of the Consumers
League, said:
lit is over 80 years since enlisted
in the effort to get better legislation
for the protection of children. 1
believe there are more children I'M
der 16 years old working today in
dangerous occupations than there
were when l began, because our
manufacturing industries have in
creased stupendously and our State
legislation has halted. There has
been no unity in our progress"

The court said, however, that no order
would be issued for the prisoners dis
charge from custody until arrangements
had been completed to take the case to
the United States Supreme Court on
appeal
Only by extraordinary steps can the
Thaw case be considered by the Supreme
Court before next October. The court
plans to suspend hearing all cases on
April "a and hear no more arguments
until October, unless some extraordi-
nary occasion should demand. That
would probably mean that Thaw must
remain in custody until at least October.

Helen Gardner in Cleopatra.

Through the efforts Of Manager Cox
Union City people saw Cleopatra at
Reynolds Theatre. Miss Helen Gardner
| is glorious poem as Cleopatra. The
part would tax the art Of Bernhardt
Miss Gardeners rhythmic beauty and dra-
matte instincts, her intellectually, cul-
ture and delicacy, have combined in her
work to WITTY and ennoble the char
acter OF Royal Egypt" even as Bern
hardt might have done at the age of
twenty-six. her costumes are truly
gorgeous, representing not merely
money, but exquisite taste, thought and
culture. In several scenes she wears
shawls and draperies and gowns that
were made in Egypt hundreds Of years
ago, and jewels that cost over fifty
thousand dollars.
Infinite pains were taken to make the
picture the most profound expression Of
motion picture art ever achieved. As
tragic romance, aside from pictorial
artistry, the picture, by its deep inten-
sity, its cIearness and vigor, its splen-
did sequential continuity and gripping
beauty, its fullness OF dramatic and
emotional quantities, sets standard not
before attained.
This motion picture is the largest and
most superb dramatic expression Of the
motion-picture art ever attempted. 1t
is distinctly in class to itself Nearly
three miles Of film we're employed in the
work Of production, and out Of this was
selected the one mile Of film which con-
stitutes the completed picture.
The picture is remarkable for its re-
fined sumptuousness, its tremendous
dramatic power and gripping interest,
and its entire freedom from those vul-
garities common to Oriental dramas.
In short, the picture was produced for
American men and women OF culture
and taste.
