THE SAN FRANCISCO bomb CASES."

After reading the transcript of testimony in the
San Francisco "bomb cases. and Analysing the
contents carefully we are of the opinion that the
whole affair is 'frame-up.''
1t looks if District Attorney Charles Fickert
OF San Francisco, elected on a union labor ticket,
has deliberately, cold bloodedly and falsely turned
on labor

for Emerson when he found these records and stated
that ne had complete record Of planted bombs,

And union labor has no one to blame but itself

A long, long time ago, Fickert was elected by
President Patrick Calhoun Of the San Francisco
street car company, the United Railroads.
He was elected for the express purpose of dis
missing the bribery indictments against Calhoun.
He fulfilled that purpose. =.
The records Of the United Railroads show that
one million dollars of the railroads money was
used for illegal expenditures

wanted the job of district attorney. And they
elected him.

eleven long years, stood successfully for the open

THE MINNESOTA POLITICAL SITUATION


Is cndeavoring to reopen opportuni- |
ties for the, young men Of this and
coming generations, and thoughtful |
first voters will support him in great |
err numbers than they will support Mr.. !
Hughes. OF this there is no doubt.
Mr.. Wilson is the real young mans |
candidate for president of the United
States, and his great work will re-
dound to their advantage for genera
tons to come.
Lawler Strength Grows.
Sentiment for Daniel w. Lawler,
the Democratic candidate for United
States senator, is also becoming fav-
orable in st. Louis county. It is said
at Hibbing that he will carry the WILL
age by q. substantial majority. Duluth
will give him g. good vote, and the
southern portion Of the state looks
exceedingly rosy. Frank B. Kellogg,
the Republican candidate, can not get
away with his TRUSTING busting
campaign. He never busted a trust
worth while. He did more to fasten
! trust rule upon the people than any
other man in American life. He led
the United St tes supreme court to
hand down a modern 'Dred Scott
decision which made secure the exist
ence of every monopoly in the coun-
try.
Kellogg Lacks Vision.
Mr.. Kellogg hasn't any better vision
than Mr.. Hughes. He is the same
type of man. II the Fat Boys be-
lieved he was real trust buster they
would not support him as they are in
this campaign. If he is elected to
the senate it will give special privilege
just one more vote in the American
House of Lords, which If kept in the
hands Of the people would be the
most responsive body in America to
popular will. Can the people of Min
nesota vote to add to the support of
Penrose of Pennsylvania or Smoot of
Utah?
Kellogg Draws $4,000.
Mr.. Kellogg has no claim on the
people Of Minnesota for the part he
played in dissolving the Standard Oil
company. Since the "dissolution'' it
has robbed the people to a greater

Dance Long Since Extinct.

According to his careful researches,
the ghost-dance religion was confined
almost entirely to the tribes of the
great plains. and the Paiute and re-
lated tribes of Nevada and Idaho It
originated about thirty years ago, and
is long since extinct The great under
lying principle of the ghost-dance doc
trine was that the time was near when
the whole Indian race. living and lead
would be reunited upon a regenerated
earth, to live a life of aboriginal hap
pfness. forever free from death and
misery. On this foundation each tribe
built structure from it's own myth
hlled in the details according to his
own mental capacity or concepts of
happiness. with such additions as came
to him from frances
Some changes also undoubtedly re-
suited from the transmission of the
doctrine from tribe to tribe through the
imperfect medium of the sign language
Tor many tribes are not familiar with
the speech OF others. Each ghos.-danc-
ing tribe had religious leader. who
acted as the messenger from the Indian
messiah Paiute prophet who lived
In western Nevada. This leader ad-
vised them when to prepare for the
dance. leading it. and often addressing
them upon its completion with sort
OF sermon. much Of which was derived
from his own trance visions. In many
cases he exerted a strong hypnotic in
nuence over his followers.

monial exactness and in accord with
the symbol assumed by their departed
relatives as observed by them in their

Step Simple in Execution.

The dance itself was a simple step
executed toward the left. following the
course of the sun. with the left foot
followed by the right. the dancers
hardly lifting their feet from the
ground
The main purpose of this dancing
ceremony was to dance until they be-
came tired and dizzy, whereupon they
became unconscious and fell to the
ground within the circle. While in this
state. kind of trance. they had Wis.,
ions and believed that they were in
the presence of their departed relatives
and on regaining consciousness related
their experiences to the assembled
dancers
Unlike most Indian dances no drum,
rattle. or other musical instrument was
used for accompaniment nor were any
rres built within the circle. After the
dance the participants shook their gar
nents TO remove all evil influences
therefrom. and later all bathed to expel
spiritual and earthly evil
Hence 1t is readily seen that the re-
cent dance performed for the soldiers
on the border was not the well known

recorded a quarter Of century ago.

Furthermore. the ghost dance" now
extinct. was quite different from the
one described by the newspaper corre-
spondents on the border. 1t was un-
accompanied by any musical instru-
ment, its participants were not men
alone: there we're no masks, wands. or
bonfires. and, on the whole. this dance
rendered by the Apache scouts for the
benefit of the soldiers seems to have
been a makeshift, .conglomerate affair

means for entertaining the gullible

taking honey out is no trouble at all, when a bee
escape is used, for the bees do not even know
what is going on.
The best way to begin beekeeping Is to buy a
colony or two from some up-to-date apiarist in the
neighborhood, but a hive full Of bees can be
shipped by express or the insects may be bought
by the pound if one already has an empty hive.
Indeed, this is a practice which is becoming very
common, for even experienced beekeepers often
invest in one, two or three-pound packages Of
bees in order to build up weak colonies. 1t is not
an unusual thing for bees to be shipped all the
way from Texas to Canada.
Sometimes wild bees may be captured in the
woods and brought home. Although called wild
bees, these honey makers which are found in logs
and hollow trees have escaped from captivity at
some time, for there were no honey bees in this
country until they were brought here by the Pill
grim Fathers.
If the farmer owns more than half q dozen colo
MES of bees it will pay him to get an extractor.
This is a simple device for separating the honey
from the combs, the latter being placed in a
frame which ~revolves at a high, rate of speed,
the liquid honey being thrown ort of the wax cells
by centrifugal force, just as C. lam is separated
from milk. Then the combs may be put back In
the hives for the bees to fill again. The farmer
can usually get more honey this way and will
have less swarming.

consciously she brushes the pollen from one flower
and carries it along to another, thus carrying on
her part of natures plan. The value derived from
the cross fertilization of blossoms in this way is
probably much greater than that of all the honey
and wax made by the sum total of all the bees in
the country.
1t is practically impossible to grow cucumbers
in the greenhouse unless bees are depended upon
to. ~fertilize the blossoms, and so the market gar
deners are obliged to yield tribute to this useful
insect. Even in the dead of winter, with snow
drifts six feet high outside, thousands of bees are
to be found flying around in the great glass houses
where cucumbers are produced for the exclusive
winter trade. 1t is true that the bees get but lit
tie nectar from the blossoms and have to be fed
on sugar strip, but they accomplish the purpose
of transferring pollen from one flower to another.
OF course this work might be done artificially.
That is, q man might go from one blossom to an
other with a small brush and transfer the pollen,

: Our Opportunity In Latin America
BY JOHN BARRETT, in the Review Of Reviews.

BY JOHN BARRETT, In the Review Of Reviews.
These are the times when everybody should
be studying the twenty American republics lying
south Of the United States. These are the days
Of unprecedented and legitimate opportunity in
Latin America for the commercial and financial
interests Of this country. This present year
should be the beginning Of a new epoch in the
material, social and political relations Of North
and South America.
The next ten years are going to be "all Ameri-
cam years. All America is to attract the atten-
ton of all Americans. This new development Is
inevitable. The cause is found in the natural
wealth. resources and potentialities Of Central
and South America, their actual commerce and
trade, their remarkable progress during recent
years, together with the unceasing propaganda
Of the Pan-American union, which was at first
even ridlculed and little appreciated, but is now
generally valued and recognized. The occasion
Of this new interest at this moment Is the Euro
pean war and the emphasis 1t has placed upon
the geographical segregation and commercial soli-
darity of the nations Of the western hemisphere.
Consider Latin America in any phase one pre-
fers, and It is worthy Of keen interest. Let us
first look at 1t geographically And physically. We
see twenty countries ranging In area from little
Salvador, with less than 5000 square miles, or
smaller than. Vermont, up to mighty Brazil, with
100000 square miles, or greater than the United
Estates proper with Great Britain thrown inl In
