WE cLIP the following fron the Detroit Register to show what a city may accomplish under pro- per organization, Detroit having about a year ago adopted a city charter, similar to that now pro- posed for Bemidji: Very substantial evidence of the good work that is be- ing done for the city under the new charter was furnish- ed on July 15th when the treasury paid, at maturity, a refunding bond of $6,000 and outstanding orders which were registered and draw- ing interest, to the atount of $1788.23. This is, we be lieve, the first bond, and cer- tainly the first for so large a sum, that has ever been tak- en up except by the method of issuing a new bond to take up an old one, and generally for a larger amount. Next year a $10,000 bond will fall due, and it is expected that it will be paid promptly:at that time. We appear to be get- ting down to business in our city affairs. Every citizen of Bemidji knows that we need -city.organization. The charter form of city organ- ization gives home rule. that is, allows us to change our organic law to meet the changing condi- tions which confront every grow- ing community, No other form of city organization -will do this. The charter commission has been revising its draft of a char- ter and propose to submit the charter once more to the people of this city. We do not know what may be the provisions of this new charter but the general character of the document will undoubtedly be laid before the people of the city before they are asked to vote upon it. But we have confidence in the men who compose the commission to believe that the proposed charter is designed to give Bemidji the best possible form of city organ- ization. THE Americans are the great- est people in the world to get to- gether in conventions. Here’s a stamp collectors convention on in Minneapolis with a hundred dele- gates in attendance from all parts -of the country! PREIDENT ROOSEVELT can preach a sermon, manipulate a peace conference, shoot a bear and rua the greatest government on earth with equal facility—and ‘we suspect he could do it all in one day if it was at all necessary. Rev. CHARLES W. BLODGETT is the man. He is going to write up a magazine article about J. Lincoln Steffens and Miss [da M. Tarbell and then these two worthies can see how it feels themselves. A MINNEAPOLIS matrinionial bureau is busted by the postoffice department. This thing of gov- ernment ownership is not so bad after all. Ler vp hope that the peace plenipotentiaries have encounter- ed the only fog which will delay their deliberations. THE Alaskans hope for home rule. Same here in Bemidji.
