reforms are inclined 20 support the
Chancellor in his opinion that reorgan-
Izstion cannot >be undertaken hastily.
IL is plain, nevertheless, that the coali-
ton, augmented by the adhesion of the
National Liberals, now constitutes an
invinclble Reichstag majority which
viii enter the new session next month
with a definitely outlined programme.
The following deputies have been
elected by their parties 20 membership
in the Chsncellor's council:
Socialist-Democrats. Philip Scheide
mann and Friedrich Ebert; ,Centrists,
Matthias Erzberger and Herr Fehren-
bach; Progressive, Friedrich Won Payer;
National Liberal. Dr. Gustav Strese-
mann. and Conservative, Count Won
Westarp.
While slip of the tongue by the
Chancellor and a bungled report OF
Wednesdays session were directly re-
spOnsible for the tension OF last week,
the existence Of much combustible ma
terial in parliamentary politics is likely
20 call forth other fare-ups on account
Of the present mood and temper OF the
Reichstag majority. Wednesdays rue
ton is symptomatic Of the maJorlty's
growing appetite for increased author
ity and responsibility.
Il has now become known that Chan
cllor Michaelis. in his second state
ment. Wednesday, definitely fixed his
attitude toward the Reichstag's peace
resolution before the introduction OF the
majority's declaration regarding the
establishment Of full concordance be-
tween il and the statement the Chan-
cellor made July 10. Notwithstandlng
the Chancellor's revised statement,
which made this protest superhuous,
the declaration was read. The mlscnlef
was thus done and the world received
the impression that another crisis had
come.
Reactionaries United
Over this boiling cauldron there pre-
sides a new Chancellor. who is admit
tedlv a tyro in the handling OF prae-
teal politics. ...-.-
Opposing the Reichstag majority is
the small but powerful Conservative
ard pan-German faction. which Is not
standing idly b. while liberalism IS
threatening 10 reshape political and
parliamentary institutions. These re-
dictionary forces for the most part rep
resent the nations finance, big bust
ness and landed interests.
II the Chancellor feels to-day that
the wind temporarily is being tenn
pered 10 the shorn lamb. il is due 10
his conviction that German eyes are
riveted on the various fronts and the
resistance being offered there by the
German troops. and that the nation at
large is willing to await q more au
spicioUs time for Encouragement of its
political household furniture.

AT THE REX

How little girl, reasoning and
acting under childish impulse, was
able to completely transform q proud
and naughty woman into a kindly
and understanding foster-mother,
will be illustrated in the Bluebird
photoplay, entitled "Gloriana," which
will be shown at the Rex, matinee
and evening, with little Zoe Rae play
ing the principal role. There are
twenty-five other children in the
piece and while this fact will be of
especial interest to ladies and chill
dren who find their best entertain
ment in moving pictures, there need
be no assumption that the plot is not
brilliant in theme and we'll told by
skillful artistry of good acting and
photography. The piece will be en-
pertaining to every class of theater-
goer, because it is human story
tensely and bravely told.

BEMIDJI SUNDAY SCHOOLS
SHOULD SEND DELEGATES
TO STATE CONVENTION

Bemidji should be well represented
at the state Sunday school convention
in Minneapolis April Is to % for
it will be at that time the formal
invitation will be extended for the
Northern Minnesota Sunday school
convention to meet at Bemidji next
summer, and there should be large
number of boosters for Bemidji
present
1t is a certainty, however, that
the Northern Minnesota convention
will come to Bemidji, as such has
been decided, but it remains for the
formal invitation and acceptance.
Fully 1000 will come to Bemidji to
attend the convention.
One of the most attractive feat
ures of the state convention this
year will be the music furnished by
the Minneapolis May Festival chorus
of 500 voices This chorus will give
a special concert on the first evening
of the convention. They will also
furnish music for each evening ses-
sion giving a sacred concert for about
forty minutes.
The chorus will be led by J. Lin
coin Hall and DR.. Adam Geibel of
Philadelphia. These men have led
the music at the state conventions
for the past four years.
The convention this year will re-
quire three of Minneapolis largest
churches and the auditorium in order
to properly take care of the general
sessions and school of methods. At
last years convention in Austin L.
500 delegates were registered.
Every Sunday school in Mime
sofa is entitled to send delegates.
Every county and district officer,
pastors, superintendent and officers
of organized teen age and adult
Bible classes are delegates by virtue
of their office. In addition to the
above each Sunday school is entitled
to one delegate for every fifty schol-
ars enrolled. The entertainment
committee of Minneapolis is ready
to offer lodging and breakfast free
to all registered delegates.

ONLY THREE DAYS MORE
To GET ''HEART SONGS

Our distribution of Heart Songs
has been wide and far-reaching. We
only regret that we cannot renew
our contract with the publishers,
whereby we have been able to dis
tribute the century's master work of
song music among our readers at
the bare cost of distribution to our
selves. Seldom has book seemed
to so completely satisfy want
among the people. This is not to
be wondered at when we reflect that
for more than fifty years past the
greater part of the present popula-
ton Of this country has been practic-
ally raised on the songs that appear
in Heart Songs" The descendants
Of the old settlers and Of the SOL
diers on both sides in the Civil war,
heard their mothers, sisters and
sweethearts sing the only music that
was then known. The memories
that extend back over lifetime are
not easily forgotten. And this may
be the reason that the distribution
of a book like "heart Songs" has
spread like wildfire. Certain it is
that none Of the more modern song
music has taken the place of the old
melodies that seems always new and
fresh. Comic operas come and 60,
ragtime flares up and fades away,
but the songs of our fathers still
abide with U.S. This, at any rate, is
what constitutes the popularity Of
the book we have been distributing
far and wide. Our offer is to be
positively withdrawn on Saturday
next, which gives only three days
more to our readers. In order that
none may be disappointed, we print
this notice. The coupon is published
elsewhere in today's paper.

THEATERS
GRAND TONIGHT
How a man of wealth NAV

How a man Of wealth may be rob-
bed and lose his identity in the heart
of a great city, is graphically shown
in the Jesse L. Lasky production Of
"A Gutter Magdalene" which will be
seen at the Grand tonight with the
distinguished actress, Fannie Ward,
in the title role. In this photodrama,
a man comes from the West, falls in
to the clutches of crooks, is slugged,
robbed and left unconscious in the
gutter, is hustled into Jail and all
is lost. Miss Ward is surrounded by
a cast of unusual excellence, includ-
ing such prominent artists as Jack
Bean, Billy Elmer, James Neill, Ger
trude Kellar and Robert Bradbury.
It is a Paramount program release.
