» THE BEMIDJI DALLY PONEER| EVENTS OF IMPORTANCE PUBLISHED NVERY AFTHRNOON, BEMIDJI PIONEER PUBLISHING CO. C. J. PRYOR. G, E. CARSON. A. 0. RUTLEDGE, News Editor. Watered in the postofiice at Bemidji. Minn,, second class matter. SUBSCRIPTION---$5.00 PER ANNUM —_— e “Did it ever occur to you,” says the St. Cloud Journal-Press, “that no public enterprise could succeed without the hearty co-operation of the newspapers? And did you ever hear of a case where the news- papers did not cheerfully do more than their full share in promoting every movement that promised to benefit its home city? But do you know that there are business men in every city who neglect to patron- ize their best friends, the news- papers?”’ e e After reaging the various com- ments on ‘consolidation,” found elsewhere in this paper, it is evident that there are more to follow. Long Praivie, Park Rapids and other one- paper towns in this section of the state incline that way if we can read correctly between the lines. Get to- gether, brethern, bury hatchets and save your business men and others any unnecessary expense. Your merchant can better compete with the mail order house if you will al- low him to use more printer’s ink at a less price and secure better ser- vice. The subscription lists in all those towns are practically dupli- cates.—Akeley Herald-Tribune. The man with the ‘‘ax”(political or otherwise)will always be around with a grievance, however, ready to pourhis tale of woe into sympathetic ears as to the needs of an “independ- ent” paper(really one that will do his “grinding” for him)and until a fewmore who are unfit for news- paper work are put out of a business in which they-have no talent or fit- ness, there will probably be more newspapers than there is any neces- sity for or business to maintain.
