The following, which was printed in a recent issue of the Bertha Head- light, is respectfully referred to a few (thank the Lord, they are in the minority) residents of this com- munity who occasionally wield a sledge against the Pioneer, merely because the paper will not act as a plain tool for their purposes: “It is no wonder the citizens of Bemidji take so much pride in their local daily, the Pioneer. As a gen” eral proposition dailies published in small cities are rarely up to the standard expected, being filled to a great extent, outside of locals, with a succotish assortment of news with which one is already familiar. “Not so with the Pioneer. It is published by men who know a news item when they see it, and who have the grit and enterprise to publish it before mortification sets in. ‘The manner in which that paper handled the Great Northern editorial meeting was truly metro- politan and is convincing evidence of the newspaper ability of its publishers. The Pioneer reflects great credit upon the hustling little city in which it is published.” We are thankful that the efforts of the Pioneer to conduct a clean, newsy paper, boosting this city and this part of the state, are appre- ciated outside our own baliwick, AN ASSININE RULING. ‘The postoffice department has dis- covered that the afternoon card par- ties given by the ladies of the coun- try are lotteries, games of chance or some other questionable proceeding, and has stretched out its autocratic hand and forbidden the use of the mails for the transmission of invita- tions to these gatherings, if the hostess is to give prizes to the play- €ers. Barring invitations from the mail isn’t all either. The woman who loves to entertain at cards and who gives lovely cut glass and hand painted china prizes, will no longer have the pleasure of seeing her party described in the newspapers, with alist of those who received prizes, since the head of the depart- ment at Washington has ruled that newspapers cannot go through the mails if they publish names of prize winners at a card party. The ruling is in line with others equally assinine which have been is- sued from the postoffice department. New VYear’s postal cards at the Pioneer office.

New York, Dec. 16.—The decree of the United States circuit court in the government’s suit against the Amer- ican Tobacco company and others, which was filed here, declares the American Tobacco company, the American Snuff company, the R.

The decree restrains these holding companies from engag- ing in foreign and interstate com- merce until competition between them is restored.

INSURGENTS BOLT PARTY Twenty Republicans, Including a Number of Northwestern Members, Vote With Democrats to Overrule Decision of Speaker—Payne and Dalzell Lead Fight for the Oppo- nents of Revision. ‘Washington, Dec. 16.—At the out- et of the proceedings in the house of representatives the roll was called on a motion by Mr. Gardner - (Rep., Mass.) to discharge the committee on foreign affairs from further consid- eration of the resolution calling on the secretary of state for a statement as to whether he has in his possession information as to whether or not the British house of commons has ap- pointed a committee to report on the advisability of changing its rules and that the resolution be considered by the house. Mr. Gardner is one of several so called “insurgents” who be- lieve that the rules of the house of representatives should be changed. The motion of Mr. Gardner pre- vailed, 146 to 134, and thereupon he offered an amendment eliminating all reference to the demand on the sec- retary of state for information and leaving in the resolution simply the provision for the appointment of eight members to report on the question of revising the rules. Messrs. Payne (N. Y.) and Dalzell (Pa.) were quickly on their feet with points of order, both insisting that as a portion of the resolution would be stricken out the resolution no longer was privileged. Against that conten- tion Mr. Gardner vigorously arrayed himself and he recited several prece- dents to support his argument. Fitzgerald Adds His Argument. ‘With equal vigor Mr. Fitzgerald (Dem., N. Y.) upheld the contention of Mr. Gardner. In an elaborate opinion the speaker sustained Messrs. Dalzell and Payne, holding that the character of the res- olution had been changed in such a way as to render it non-privileged. Mr. Gardner promptly appealed, but alert to the importance of the proposi- tion Mr. Payne moved to lay the ap- peal on the table and on that motion a roll call was forced. By a vote of yeas 149, nays 136, the speaker was sustained. | Twenty Republicans voted against the speaker as follows: Boyd (Neb.), Campbell (Kan.), Caulfield (Mo.), Cooper (Wis.), Davis (Minn.), Ellis (Mo.), fowler (N. J.), Gardner (Mass.), Gronna (N. D.), Howland (0.), Hubbard (W. Va.)), Lindbergh (Minn.), McKinlay (Cal), Madison (Kan.), Nye (Minn.), Pearre (Md.), Pollard (Neb.), Steenerson (Minn.), Sturgiss (W. Va.), Volstead (Minn.). The resolution then, on motion of Mr. Gardner, after he had further at- tacked the rules of the house, was laid on the table, 137 to 2, which has the effect of killing the whole propo- sition. Now Charged With Desertion, San Francisco, Dec. 16.—Paymas- ter’s Clerk William McDonough of the battleship Missouri, who arrived from the Orient on the transport Thomas, was arrested for desertion and taken in irons to the prison ship Manila, stationed at Mare Island. At Amoy McDonough left his written resigna- tion on his desk and sailed for home without awaiting the formalities at- tendant on its acceptance by the navy department. MAKES WORK EASIER. Bemidji People Are Pleased to Learn How it Is Done. It's pretty hard to attend to duties With a constantly aching back; With annoying urinary disord- ers. Doan’s Kidney Pills- make work easier. They cure headache, They cure every kidney ill. Frank Engels, living at 415 Minnesota Ave., Bemidji, Minn , says: ‘I have no hesitancy in publicly recommending Doan’s Kidney Pills, as I am confident that my testimonial will be the means of bringing relief to some sufferer of kidney trouble, There was a dull aching in the small of my back for many months, and my kidneys were very much disordered. The secretions from these organs were unnatural in appearance. At last I decided to try Doan’s Kidney Pills and pro- cured a box at the Owl Drug Store. I began using them care- fully-as directed, the pain disap- peered and the kidney secretions became more natural, For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents. Foster-Milburn Co.

A —_— HERE IS NOTHING that strikes terror to the hearts of parents more than to be awakened in the night by the ringing cough which accompanies an attack of croup. The child may retire with nothing but a slight cold and a few hours later the family be aroused by the ominous symptoms. Every home where there are small children should be prepared for these sud- den attacks, as prompt treatment is necessary. Do not experiment with remedies of doubtful value, but get CHAMBERLAIN’S COUGH REMEDY that has been in use for nearly forty years and never known to fail. - “We guarantee every bottle of Chamberlain’s Cough ~ Remedy,” says W. M. Parish, Palmerston, Ontario. “‘Out of the many bottles sold last winter not onme was re- turned. We recommend it espe- cially for children with croup.” Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy is famous for its prompt cures of coughs, colds and croup. When given as soon as the child becomes hoarse an attack of croup may be averted. This medicine is entirely free from narcotics or injurious sub- stances of any kind and_may be given to the little ones with abso- Tute safety. g Mr. Homer Krohn, of Lisbon, Towa, in a letter to the manufac- turers of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy praises this medicine for what if has done for his children, He says: “It has not only saved - them once but many a time. Only two weeks ago my boy had the croup so bad in the night that had it not been for having a bottle of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy in the house he wonls have choked before a doctor could have gotten to the house. It is a medicine that no one should be without at any time.”” It is pleasant to take and many children like it. Attacks of croup are most likely to occur during the early winter months, and every family with young children should be prepared for it. Keep a bottle of CHAMBERLAIN’S COUGH REMEDY in your home. It only costs a quarter, large size 50 cents. Your druggist sells it.
