No. The Chiropractic and the Osteopath both aim to put in place thnt which is out of place, to right that which is wrong; but the Path- ology Diagnosis, Prognosis and Movements are entirely different. One of my patients, Mr. W, A. Casler, has taken both Chiropractic and Osteopoth treatments. The Chiropractic is ten times more direct in the adjustments and the results getting health ten times more thor- sough in one tenth of the time than an Osteopath would. il o 2 2 P A o . 280l o 2l B B P B 0 3B A o B Subseribe for the Daily Pioneer. | administration. PUBLISHED EVERY AFTERNOON. PIONEER PUBLISHING CO. By R. W. HITCHCOCK. ¢utered in the postoffice at Bemidji, Minn., 9 8acond rlass matter. 0%ticial Paper Village of Bemidji SUBSCRIPTION $5 PER YEAR Progress in a Trying Year. The past year has been the most trying from a business point of view which Bemidji has experienced, Four years ago the presidental yearfound the young city in the first flush of its re- markable growth and the usual depression of general election year was unnoticed. Now how- ever, the city has reached that point where its growth is simply the normal growth of a town located in the heart of a rapidly developing country. Incommon with the territory from which it derives its sustenance Bemidji has sutfered from the ill effects of the presidential campaign as has every other city in the land. Nevertheless the year has been one of growth and a steady in- crease in business - Freight re- ceipts on both the Great North- ern and the Minnesota & Inter- national railways were heavier in 1904 in this city than ever before and the freight receipts for the last quarter of 1904 show a most remarkable increase over the receipts for the same pen’od of 1903. There are few cities in the United States which can show a decided increase of business for the presidential year. Bemidji is one of these few and the fact is striking evidence of stability and future possibilities. Let It Pass. = The Pioneer heartily approves of the proposition to release the state uniyersity and the state normal scholos from the author- ity of the board of control. While we have consistently supported the board of control policy and firmly believe that ‘it is the only plan upon which the institutions of Minnesota can successfully and economically be administer- ed we have from the first con- tended that it was a wistake to class the educational institution- als with the reformatory and penal. The purposes of the two classes of institutions are utterly different; methods which are ap- plicable to one class are entirely useless with the other. It was never intended that the univer- sity and the normal schools should be placed under the auth- ority of the board of control and this clause was placed in the act solely in the hopes of defeat- ing it. The boatd of control plan has worked well with the except- tionofthe educational institutions —there it has caused friction and has materially interfered with the work of the schools, It has been suggested tHat the board ot control be given author- ity over the educational institu- tions only so far as concerns the purchased of fuel and other sup- plies of a similar nature which may be purchased in the open market for one institution, the same as for another. Some such amendement as this to the board of control act should be passed at this session of the legislature. CounTy officials generally throughout Minnesota are under paid. The salary attached to a county office should be such as to attract the best men of the county.

Rutledge: “I wish you would state, through the Pioneer, that T must insist that the fisher- men who are using the fish houses on Lake Bemidji place their name and the number of their permit on the outside of the ‘houses, inorder that 1 may be able to ascertain who are the owners. It is impossible to find all of the houses occupied at any one time, and if- my suggestion is carried ouf; it will be an. easy matter toinspectthem. Probably 0 one intends to vxobma the law, illegal fishing,and I have ample notice that permits must be obtained. Hereafter, if I find tanyone fishing in a fish house i without a license, I shall prose- cute the violator to the fullest ex- tent of the law. A word to the wise, ete.” WILD RIOTS IN RUSSIA.
