No. The Chiropractic and the Osteopath both aim to put in place that which is out of place, to right that which is wrong; but the Path- ology Diagnosis, Prognosis and Movements are entirely different. Ore 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- ough in one tenth of the time than an Osteopath would. S 'The Daily Pioneer PUBLISHED EVERY AFTERNOON. PIONEER PUBLISHING CO. By R. W. HITCHCOCK. tntered in the postofiice at Bemidjl, Minn,, as second rlass matter, Official Paper Village of Bemidiji SUBSCRIPTION $5 PER YEAR 3 Draining Beltrami County Swamps. ; THE great territory to the north of Red Lake is one vast muskeg, uninhabited by man, yet a little drainage work will make it possible to cultivate a large portion of this great swamp, and .oven up homes for hundreds of settlers. The northern and western shores of Red Lake, the Pioneer is informed, are low and the mus- keg to the north and west of the lake is even lower than the level of the lake. Hence it will be necessary todrain the muskeg ‘o the north. A state ditch from five to ten miles in length, dug north into the Rapid River, would drain a large territory and would make it possible to build a road directly from the west end of the lake to the Rapid river country and thus afford a direct com- munication between the southern and northern ends of the county. If one ditch will reclaim so much land, a system of ditches .| would redeem thousands of acres and bring Beltrami county hun- dreds of settlers. The muskeg is owned by the state, and the cost of the ditches would be re- turned to the state several fold in a very few years. ‘A Meritorious Measure. THE proposition to make the term of office of the county sup- erintendent of schools four years instead of two and to make it a requirement that the superin- tendent hold a first grade certi- ficate is a measure which de- serves to be at once placed upon the statute books. Minnesota is famous for its progressive legis- lation touching city and village schools—and almost infamous for its lack of legislation for country schools, but this proposal is cer- tainly a step in the right direc- tion. It is a remarkable fact that although the deputy county superintendent of = schools. in Minnesota must hold a first grade certificate to teach, no educational requirements at all are laid down by law for the superintendent -himself. - In re- gard to the Ienéth of term, the county superintendent is an offi- cer who becomes far more valu- able to the county with each suc- ceeding year of service and four years would enable a com- petent officer to put his policies into effective working order.” A shorter period simply invites in efficiency in county schooladmin- istration.
