BRA|NERD MEETING
Grow Wing County Seat Making Ef-
fort to Take December N. NJ. D. A. :
Convention From Bemidji.
SUGGESTS DROPPING COUNTY

When Commissioner Hayes voted
against the allowing of an appropria-
ton to the Northern Minnesota De-
velopment association, he may have
taken a step which will cause the
dropping of Beltrami county from the
roll of the booster league. 81
This appears to be the plan in GER
tain quarters and already Brainerd
is making an effort to have the con-
vention of next December held in that
city, instead of Bemidji Beltrami
county proportional appropriation
was only $3.50 and this amount the
commissioner refused to allow for the
purpose of advertising the county and
to assist in bringing settlers here. It
is hoped that Commissioner Hayes
will change his vote should the mat
ter be taken up again at the next
meeting, and if he does not, personal
contributions must be given Other
wise to Beltrami county and Bemidji,
the birthplace Of the organization,
will be lost the advantage of it's work.
A Brainerd news item says: 1T
requires the unanimous consent of the
county commissioners to appropriate
and one member voted no. Beltrami
county is the birthplace of the or
ganization, supplied many of it's Off
GERS and is the scene of the next win
ter convention.

sentation, Brainerd will enter. the

PAST TENSE PREFERRED
Mrs. Tuomy, in Duluth Herald Com
munication, Speaks of Story in Re.
cent Issue of Leading Magazine.
THE OLD BEM1DU AND THE NEW

When Golfers published that now
famous story, "The Hospital Ticket
in which the early life of Bemidji was
most prominent feature, a stir was
caused here and the feeling seemed
general that this city has been dealt
an unjust blow.
In yesterdays issue of the Duluth
Herald, communication, written by
Mrs. J.. T. Tuomy, of Bemdiji, was
published and we'll expresses the SEN
timent here The communication
reads:
ITO the Editor of fhe Herald:
"A short time ago a prize winning
story appeared in one of the leading
magazines that had for it's settings
scenes in and around the town Of Be-
midi, Mimi. The story caused lot
of old-time citizens to chuckle and
say: Can you beat it?' Why, I re-
cognized a number of the characters.
Some of them live right here now.
''The number containg the story
sold like hot cakes. News stands of
the town never had such a run on any
one magazine, Bemidjiites read the
story for entertainment, but after
reading it, they began to digest it
thoughtfully. Public-spirited citi-
zens wondered if their town had been
done an injustice by giving wrong
conception of it's present state to the
outside world.
ut was figured out that the author
of the story must have known the
Bemidji of ten years ago, with it's
forty or more saloons, wide open
night and day, with no ban on gamb-
ling-a Bemidji with no other claims
than those that belong to a typical
frontier town.
To-day Bemidji is dry town and
as thriving and progressive little
city as can be found in the North
west. Everyone is vastly proud of
it's miles of paving and cement walks,
it's fine churches, it's good schools, it's
up-to-date public buildings, it's beau
tiful homes and it's wonderful seen
cry.
There is still plenty of material
for authors, but the people of Be-
midi would like to see stories writ

tense" ....---...- j. =:

FAILURE OF GENERAL
PAUCAUSESCHANGE
Placing of General Gallieni in Com
mand of Military Operations in Al
SAGE Means Passing of Veteran.
HAD FAITH OF FRENCH PEOPLE
Was Unable to Regain Lost Province
Now Rely Upon England for
Needed Reinforcements.
(By ]. w. T. MasOn.)

New York, Jan. 14.-If it is true
that Gen. Gallien has taken command
Of the military operations in Alsace,
it is probable the most important
western development since the battle
of Flanders are shortly to occur in the
narrow district between the Vosges
mountains and the Rhine
Hitherto, Gen. Pau, Frances popu-
lar hero Of the 1870 war, has been
directing the Alsace offensive. After
the breakdown of the initial French
drive toward Altkirch and Mulhau-
sen last August, Gen. Pau's assign
ment to the work of recovering the
lost provinces was hailed with pat
riotic JOY throughout France.
Accomplished Little.
But Gen. Pau has accomplished
very little during the tenure of his
office. This has been generally at
tributed to the small number of men
Gen. Joffre was able to send to AL
SAGE, but the present report that Gen.
Gallieni has taken over the full COM
mand Of the south suggests that there
is a belief at headquarters that the
one-armed hero of the Franco-Prus-
sian war has not done what was eX-
pected of him. Unless in fact, there
had been serious shortcomings in Gen.
Pau's strategy he would not have
been replaced, for in him the French
people have personified their virtues.
Forced the Retreat.
The selection of Gen. Gellieni for
the new Albanian command means
that Cen Joffre has assigned his
most brilliant subordinate to the
work Of capturing the upper Rhine
territory. Gen. Gallieni after the
war broke out was made military
commander of Paris, and he delivered
the flank attack against Won Kluck's
army which forced the German re-
treat from Paris.
1t is now apparent that Gen. Gal
lieni erred in striking Won Kluck too
soon, thus permitting the Germans to
conduct their retreat successfully.
But at the time it was thought dan
gerous to wait too long, because if
the German army had got through
the French center, the flank attack
from Paris might have failed.
Saved Paris.
While Gen. Gallienis army did not
catch Won Kluck, it undoubtedly
saved Paris. The present reputation
Of the military governor of the CAPT.
tai is very high in French army cir
cles. He forms, with Gen. Joffre
and Gen. FOch, the army triumpvir-
ate, on whom Frances hopes are CEN
tered. Gen. Foch has command of
the armies in Flanders.
Gen. French seemingly has con-
cluded that Gen. Foch must look to
England for reinforcements, while
the new strength of the French ar
my is to be used to permit the savior
Of Paris to rescue the lost province.

Ancient Oriqin of Military Salute

When did the military salute come
into use? 1t certainly dates from the
earlier half of the fifteenth century.
says the St. James Gazette In the
"Speculum Humane Salvationis,"
which was issued before the invention
of printing by movable types, there is
an exceedingly quaint illustration in
which Abraham Is represented as sa.
luting MeIrhiSedec. The patriarch Is
in medieval armor and apparently on
guard. and it would seem that Mel
chisedec is bringing him refreshments
of water. and the salute Is distinctly
the military one still in use.

At this time year ago the cam

that vote on the liquor question

When asked as to the possibilities
of his again seeking reelection, VIM.
McCuaig, mayor, today said that he
had not definitely made up his mind,
although he expected to again enter
the race. Several other men have
been mentioned as likely candidates
and two or more are almost certain
to be aspirants for the office. :
Murphy Leaves City. .
R. F. Murphy, for the past two
years alderman-at-large and pres
ident of the council, has taken up
his residence in St. Paul and will not
ask to be returned This Office is a
most important one and already there
are mentioned several candidates.
Joseph Bisiar, for many years alder
man of the third ward, who resigned
recently because of his moving to
another ward, may enter the race and
another often heard spoken of and
who is being urged to make the fight
is James Black. 4.
Four for Council. ~'~s-
John Moberg, in the first ward,
Sherm Bailey in the second ward, J.
M. Phillippi, in the third ward, pres
ent aldermen, are expected to seek
returns to the council Alderman
Dirty, the fourth ward representa-
tive, will not be a candidate, and
Joe Anderson, the Mill Park mer-
chant, may be induced to become
candidate.
Assessor to Remain on Job.
For assessor the voters will again
have an opportunity to elect Thomas
Lloyd, the Great Northern Express
company agent. Mr.. Lloyd has held
the position during the past several
years, and his work has always been
thorough. He has been much prais-
ed for the efficient manner in which
he handled the difficult problems
growing out of the tax changes. I'm
less from the Socialists, who are ex-
pected to again place complete
ticket in the field, Mr.. Lloyd will
probably have no opposition. "'%
