WILL OBSERVE ARBOR DAY
BemidT Merchant Comments on An.
proach of Arbor Day and Suggests
Purpose be Considered.
ALL SHOULD PLANT TREES

With the approach of Arbors day,
which comes April % by proclama-
ton of the governor, warning is
given that the tree planting season
has arrived. That the day will be
observed in Bemidji, in connection
with the campaign to clean up and
beautify the city, is certain.
IF the nation and state has
thought it worth while to set aside
a day for this purpose surely it de-
serves some consideration" said a
we'll known merchant of Bemidji this
morning. "The planting of trees by
school children will do much to turn
their attention to tree planting in
after life.
Every citizen should be interested
and the burden of providing trees
should not be thrown wholly upon
the teacher. These trees are just as
much part of the schools equipment
as the ink or the stove wood and
should be as regularly provided.
''Bemidji school yards still have
room for more trees and there is
many school in Minnesota today
without a tree in the yard And it
should be remembered that Arbor day
is for the planting of trees, not
gOOSeberrieS, currants or rose
bushes
Nor should the celebration of the
day be confined to the public schools.
There. is many a man who could well
afford to celebrate it on.-h is owl,
home grounds and many town
which would be greatly improved if
it's citizens celebrated the day in its
streets.

Campaign OF 1916
United Republican Party Will Garry
Next Election" Says Northern
Minnesota Congressman.
CALLS REACTION INEVITABLE.
Names Mann, Willis and Whitman as
Likely Candidates Democrats
to Lose House.

That the republican party will
elect the next president OF the United
States, whether the nominee is Mann
of Illinois, Willis Of Ohio, or Whit
man of New York, is the prediction
which has just been made by Con-
gresham Halver Stevenson.
+ The reunited and rejuvenated re-
publican party is going to carry the
next election said Congressman
Stevenson, "and it does not matter
so much who is the standard bearer.
Calls Reaction Inevitable.
'''The inevitable reaction from q
democratic administration will come.
The bull moose party is a thing Of the
past and the votes that were cast for
Theodore Roosevelt in the last cleo
ton will go next time to the repub-
lican candidate for president.
"Any one of the men have named
is competent to carry the party to
success, although to my notion the
individual popularity of the candidate
will not cut great deal of figure.
One democratic administration is
enough for. a time. "a
Says 6. 0. P. Will Garry House.
1.-THE men I have mentioned all
have qualifications which should
make them most acceptable to the
voters. Representative Mann, the
republican floor leader in the house,
is strong man. So is Governor
Frank B. Willis of Ohio. He is for
mer member of the house. The New
York candidate, Governor Whitman,
is good. Senator Cummins has
great many admirers in my own state,
Minnesota. ....~
"The next national election will be
a republican year. We are not only
going to elect q republican president.
but we will elect a republican house
of representative" -
