B Official County and City Paper AR AR A AN ANNNNANAPNNAAP NP NPNNNPNNPPERE SUBSCRIPTION. $5 PER YEAR 1904 FEBRUARY 1904 THE Pioneer contains today communications presenting two different asy-cis of the proposi- tion-to-put an-end to certain well saown conditions in the ciby. The columns of the Pioneer are open at all times to commumica- tions discussing the welfare and the interests-of Bemidji and Bel- trami county providing such communications are made by responsible citizens and it mat- ters nothing whether the opinions advanced are those of the Pio- neerr or not. A newspaper should be a public forum of thought as well and it is the aim of the Pioneer to stand for free- dom of speech on all public mat- ters as does every other reputable newspaper in the land. COMMUNICATED Mr. Editor:—I am pleased to see that:some of the good citizens of Bemidji are beginning to awaken to a realization of their respounsibility as to the present moral condition of our city. Travel where you may through- out the country from New York to Winnipeg, Manitoba, and tell the people youn are from Bemidji and the answer is ‘“What, can you live in that shadow of the twentieth century?”’ Sad, but that it is, that such an opinion has gone out over the country: It is high time for us to try and redeem ourselves, high time for us to pass out of our babyhood and become the city which nature intended we should. ¢ Bemidji is destined to become one of the finest cities in the northwest providing the honest citizens stand - for purity and truth. The present condition of things shall continue just as long as the people slumber and sleep and as they sleep the moral can- cer-planters of the twentieth cen- _tury wi!l destroy the purity and virtue of our young. Men of money and eaterprise will not come here so long as the _gambling den and houses of pros- titution rule our city. : Upon the right disposition o this_ important_ subject depends of our city. Let every man and woman who cares for the culture and pure training of the youth attend the mass meating in the city hall tomorrow nighv. Let us show to our honorable mayor and city council that we are ready to stand by them in an effort to improve the present con- dition of things. : A CiTI1ZEN. . To_the Editor:-j%lieving that the columns of your paper are open to a discussion of both sides § | lis. § SOCIAL EVENTS § The Thursday Musicale meets tomorrow:- with Mrs. R. B. Fos- er. »—— Mr. and Mrs. Graham M. Torrance entertained Dr. and Mrs. R. B. Foster and Mrs. Horace B. Foster at supper ‘last| Dr. Rowland Gilmore evening. o a party of friends at his apart mentsin the Street block Jlastd-— night in honor of his giiests At- torney Stanton, of Cass Lake, and George Moore, of Minneapo- The occasion was a very enjoyable one. —— The Rathbone Sisters enter- tained for the Knights of Pythias lodge last evening after the work had been concluded. - It was the first function given by the lodge|Attorney and Counsellor at Law |~ and it was duly appreciated by a large attendance. Dancing was indulged in"and excellent music furnished by the mandolin orchestra made it doubly enjoy- able. Refreshments wére served and the evening was one that the Knights and their friends thor- oughly enjoyed. ’ o * The card party given at Red Men’s hall last night by the Mes- dames Mayer and Thome for the Jadies of St. Phillip’s Catholic church was a very enjoyable event. Fifteen- tables. were pla‘yed and about eight‘y' g uests Residence Phone 221 were present. Mrs. Chamber. lain contributed several very nicely rendered musical numbers to the evening’s entertainment and the young people present entertained with music and reci- tations, The event was thor- oughly enjoyable to all in attend- ance. = The property owners are at a sudden raise in taxation, which ping off a big revenue. Last but not least is it not ap- while it is being prosecuted by moral persous influenced by most sincere motives, is yet fos- tered by men who have no no- tion but one purely political who are sacrificing the property own- ers and business men of the com- munity to satisfy some petty political ambition of their own. Bear in'mind that a closing up of Bemidji at this time of the year, just before the breaking up of the logging seastn, means that alarge amount of money will find its dumping ground else- where and that this effects directly or indirectly every busi- ness man and property owner of this town.
