THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER PUBLISHED NVERY AFTHRNOON, BEMIDJI PIONEER PUBLISHING CO. C. J. PRYOR. G, B. CARSON. Wntered in the postofice at Remidil. Minn., second clash matter. SUBSCRIPTION---$5.00 PER ANNUM DOG-POISONER IS A DISPICABLE BEING. One of the most dispicable of human beings is the cowardly per- son (man or woman) who will put out poison promisciously about a crowded city or village for the pur- pose of exterminating dogs. Im- prisonment is altogether too easy punishment for anyone convicted of such a distardly deed—a horsewhip in the hands of a skilled user ora big brawney fist with a good, deter- mined man back of it, would be a much better “reward.” Some cowardly cuss has been putting out poison around the city of Bemidji and on Monday night caused the death of several valuable dogs in this city. Much indignation is felt at the action of the dog-poisoner and it is pretty certain if his identity is dis- covered, he will be given a deserving chastisement without waiting for the formality of a trial in the municipal court. While Bemidji may havea surplus of no-good canines, still there are several valuable dogs in the city, the owners of which have purchased duly licensed tags and are entitled to the protection gained thereby. The police have been making away with unlicensed canines, and there is no good reason for distribu- ting the poison for the purpose of exterminating dogs. CAUSTIC COMMENT. LA. G, Rutledge.] The Teddy bear makers have become bankrupt. If this is all that is to happen to them, the public is a long way from being even. A Wisconsin man wants to burn all the colleges. Perhaps he is the 00 fellow who is plowing in dialect while his boy is giving swell dinners in Greek. Another discouraging thing about the suppression of burglary is that as fast as the veterans are railroaded to the penitentiary a new crop keeps coming on to supply the ever- increasing demand. At a recent meeting of medical men the plan of paying doctors by the month was advocated. A good many physicians would doubtless be content if all of their patients paid even by the year.

St. Paul Minnesota fargettes, who, in the course of the rald on the house of commons June 29, indulged in the breaking of win- dows with stones hidden in brown paper parcels, went to prison for a month rather than pay the fines in- flicted by Sir Albert de Rutzen, the Bow street magistrate. Sir Albert commented severely upon the lamenta- ble spectacle of respectable women in the dock on charges usually associ- ated with juvenile hoodlums. The suffragettes, most of whom made short speeches, asserted that their offenses were purely political. The course of Premier Asquith in re- fusing to receive their petition, they #aid, had made militant action neces- sary and if the women were in the wrong Home Secretary Gladstone, War Secretary Haldane and John Burns, president of the local govern- ment board, who had incited them by taunting them with the statement that they were using only “pinprick meth- ods,” ought to be beside them in the dock.
