The Minneapolis Lumbermar reports daily dispatches about actions by Congressmen Baldwin and Secretary Hoke Smith regarding alleged pine land frauds in northern Minnesota. Baldwin is portrayed as talkative and likely to inflame but not achieve results, beyond causing a nuisance.
The Journal notes the minority report of the Mille Lacs county pine land inquiry, signed by Fleming and Dann, was rejected by the legislature. A following Monday resolution adopted empowered the governor to sue offenders, a move seen as one sided. The Tribune quotation reveals city papers’ hostility to Dune and rural reps who blocked lumber schemes.
The Union item from Brainerd provokes a sharp reaction in St. Paul linked to Hon. R. C. Duno and a Pope-branded controversy.

The measure may be modest but could redeem fertile areas, while the Great Northern pledges generous help. A separate item describes a Y M C A meeting where Frank W. Smith urged personal purity, stressing interior virtue and faith.

A Scarborough NSPCC meeting echoed Frank Lockwood’s call to paint the same scene of bringing children to Christ but show malnourished, tearful faces to reflect the society’s work for the hungry and abused.
