REPORT BRITISH PUT A
LIMIT ON COTTON CHARGES

From Galveston comes the report
that the British government has linn
tied the cotton rate from Gulf ports
to Liverpool to two dollars per one
hundred pounds. with forfeiture of
ship as penalty for charging more.
The present rate is three dollars,
with no room offering.
If this report is verified, it will
prove of the utmost importance to all
who are in any manner interested
in the cotton crop.
Some time ago the British govern
ment issued an order stipulating
that at least seventy-five per cent OF
the cargoes should be of wheat. This
cut down the room available for cot
ton shipments and rates scared ac-
cordingly. The latest move is an
attempt to prevent great losses tc
the cotton trade. Great Britain
wants cotton as well as wheat

The Katy's new fast train, running
from st. Louis to Galveston, was
wrecked this side of Muskogee early
Friday morning, while going at a

The wreck, derailment, occurred on
a double curve, and is ascribed to the
heavy train and soft roadbed. The
remarkable feature of the wreck is
that none of the ESQ passengers on
the train was seriously injured. Rail-
readers say that had the train been
made up of wooden coaches, hun
dreds would have been killed, as

yards of trackage was demolished

GET ONE MILLION
IN U. 8. REVENuE STAMPs

one million dollars worth of in
ternal revenue stamps, of the docu-
rentary kind, Weighing 800 pounds,
and between $4,000 and $4,000 In
currency we're taken from the Inter-
nal Revenue offices at st. Paul, Min
nesota, a few days ago.
The building is located in the very
heart Of the city and how the rob
bers gained admission is a mystery
The janitor. in opening the Offices OF
thc department. discovered the rob.
berry Tracks o. an automobile ir
the alley back of the building cause
the police to believe that an eutomo-
bile had been used TO carry away the
bulky stamps The robbers were ap-
.rarently unable to get away With
1900 worth OF stamps. which they
took from tho vaults and left in the
building. Federal officials declare
that the stamps are negotiable and
worth az least half q million dollars
10 the robbers. ~ they dispose Of tho
loot at half the price secured by the
government. The documentary sort
of stamps are used on deeds. mort
gages. express packages and in many
commercial transactions.
They range in value from half a
cent up to $500 each.
The police believe the robbers had
secreted themselves in the building
before the closing hours. and started
drilling as soon as the building was
quiet. The vault was electrically
drilled before the charge Of explosive
was used.
Internal revenue officials az Wash.
ington, in commenting on the rob
berry, say that It is not uncommon for
offices i'm cities as large as St Pau
to have million dollars worth oi
documentary stamps on hand at one
time. They say they are the most ne
gotiable of all the internal revenue
stamps. They are in the form of or
binary postage stamps and are sole
! by banks and some express compan
| les. Robbers who secured severa
thousand dollars worth from the Pc
oria offices recently, evidently have
disposed of them successfully, an Of
ficial declared. They are not mum
bered and there is almost no possible
way of tracing them.

DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM-PYRE

At St. Louis the Democrats are
erecting their platform-pyre with
solemn mien, protesting the virtues
of their doomed leader who is in
curably afflicted with writing,
watching, waiting and withdraw
ing," disease with which the medi-
co-political profession has been un-
able to cope. There is no known
cure and the Democratic political
family is sorrowfully awaiting his
political death which is but a mat
ter of months. They eulogize him !;
his faults become virtues; he is re-
membered for what he has not done,
not for his constructive work. The
pen that wrote those countless notes
is indeed mightier than the sword.
We have not only not gone to war
with Europe but we have also main
tanned our boast of being too proud
to fight; we have not only ingrati-
ated ourselves with Carranza but we
have also chased Villa. Our foreign
representative and home appointees
have been weak but tits we'll for they
were not positive or aggressive men !;
they did nothing and for that they
are surely not to blame
And we'll may this leader be
praised! He served his country to
the best of his ability in trying
period. No one doubts his sincerity
and even his political enemies admit
his scholarly ability. He proved him
self an excellent college president.
But the American people want posi-
tiveness if not aggressiveness; they
hate vacillating mind. They want
a man who will place his all upon
his assertions and then stick by them.
We are too proud to be laughed at
by all the foreign powers. We do
not want the feminine privilege of
constantly changing our minds, the
privilege of talking, talking, talking.
We are not an eliminate nation,
though we do treat our women with
the greatest respect and show them
more homage than any other nation !;
we are even nibbling at woman sui
frage, but ridicule is decidedly dis
tasteful to us. You can wound an
American much quicker with the stab
of ridicule than with the threat of
big stick.
The Democrats appreciate z the
psychology Of the American mind.
They hoped for a hopeless split in
the Republican and Progressive par
ties. They did not expect to win be-
cause of their own strength but be-
cause of the wrangling among their
political enemies. The splendid and
enthusiastic rally around Hughes is
discouraging; it will hasten the end
of their leader. They realize that
Hughes is big character, man who
can write notes equal to those of their
own standard bearer, man who
means what he says and who backs
up his sayings, a man who has the
aggressiveness of a Roosevelt; the
learning of a Wilson, the judicial
poise of Taft, the diplomacy and
tact of Root.

To the Editor of the Pioneer:
1t is important at this time, that
the taxpayer and voter give serious
consideration to his choice of state
representative.
We want man who is we'll quail
fed, by his own practical experience,
in this county, to represent us at St.
Paul.
We want one who understands the
needs of this district and one who has
made success of his community and
business life.
Charles Carter of Hines is the logi-
cal candidate. Mr.. Carter home
steaded in this county in 1898, stud
led law two years, then went into the
land and logging business at Hines,
where he has resided ever since. Mr..
Carter has always taken an active
interest in the development of our
county along agricultural lines. He
has been instrumental in building up
his own community, in the way, of
good schools, good roads and the
bringing in of prosperous settlers.
A man that makes good at home is
the man to send to do the work away
from home.
Mr.. Carter has always stood for
the settlers interests, such as the
selling of dynamite at cost for land
clearing purposes, state aid for rural
schools, in proportion to that appro-
priated for the state university, and
he demands the immediate refusal of
the granting of any more ditch petit
tions, and letting of contracts for
same, also the issuing of county bonds
in payment thereof.
He also takes the position that we
have several million acres of high
land fit for cultivation now, with
enough good roads through same,
that if the land along these roads
now built, or under construction, was
settled upon at 80 acres to the man,
we would have rs settlers to every
one we now have.

RED LAKE COUNTY
While Red Lake is some
distance from the county
named after it, the Red Lake
river, which derives it's name
from the lake, flows through
the county. Beltrami, the
Italian explorer, who travelled
in this region in 1928, trans
lated the Chippewa name for
the lake and river as
"Bloody" and thought it re-
ferred to the "blood of the
slain," in the Indian wars. A
more correct translation, it
appears, is "red water lake"
and the Indian name derived
it's significance from the color
of the water in the lake when
rejecting the redness of SUM-
set. Red Lake county was
established in 1895.
