CARQON. the Postoffice af Bemid)l, Wianessts, a3 secesd class matior, SUBSGRIPTION---$5.00 PER YFAR ¥ ADVANCE THOMAS BAILEY FOR SHERIFF. As an independent candidate for sheriff, Thomas Bailey will command respectful attention. He is no no- vice in the duties of that office. For years he held the position, and he held it only on merit. At the earnest solicitation of friends he has decided to agaia assume the respousibilities of the office if called upon to do so by the voters of the county. Mr. Bailey has all those attributes so necessary for the successful dis- charge of the duties of a sheriff. He is unassuming in manner. but when put to the test he has a nerve of steel. There is no task too danger- ous for him to perform and yet he does the work as humanely as it can be done. His familiarlity with the routine work of the office, his intimate know- ledee of everypart of the county and his self sacrificiog devotion in behalf of the people are some of the things which tend to explain his wide popularity. Mr. Bailey 1s conducting a clean campaign and is asking . support| upon his proved ability. What dees the north wind bring— in addition to profanity?

Already a few faint hearted pessimists are changing the “C” to “D” for the Chicago Cubs. A St. Louis showman is advertis- ing for a lion that will roar. Well, there’s State Fire Marshall Peterson. Of course the saloonkeepers are intoxicated with delight over the idea of having their licenses boosted up to $1,000. If the state game and fish commis- sion wishes to include all the rare species peculiar to this latitude in its additions to Itasca park, it must include a democrat who is not run- ning for office.

THE COUNTY TICKET. With two exceptions, the Pio. neer urges the election.ofthe com- plete republican ticket in Beltrami county. While the Pioneer is a republi- can paper, it does not carry its: allegiance to any party to that point which jeopardizes the best interests of the people. In the present campaign there are two instances where the Pio- neer believes, the interests of the public demand that the ticket be scratched, The offices of sheriff and county attorney are the ones referred to. In the case of sheriff, Thomas Bailey, for several terms served the people of the county in that’ says that he will try|s ©o office in 4 iianner which established him as 4 desirable candidate for that position and we urge his election. For county attorney Alvin M. Crowell is making the race as an independent candidate. The busi- ness men of the county and the best people of the county for -the most part, believe that he should be empowered with the authority of this important office. We support all republican nominees when we can do so in justice to the taxpayers and when we urge the election of a candidate not on the regular ticket it is a pretty good sign that’ there are extraordinary reasons for so doing. COMMUNICATIONS. Leiters to the editor of not more than 200 words on topics of interest, are solicited. The names of the writers must be signed, but not necessarily for publication. ~ FATHER VAUGHAN ON THE IDLE RICH Father O’Dwyer pastor of the Be. midji catholic church favors the Pioneer with a copy of an interest- ing interview given out by Father Vaughan, the “‘Mayfair Jesuit,” as they call him in London, because he is of the aristocratic class, but in- veighs against the smart, has ' stated bis grievance against the merely rich. It is that they seek to nullify the decalogue and have become a menace by pretending that there is no sin. . “I think, said he, “that really the rich are much more to be pitied than the poor. Their life of per- petual ‘climbing’ must be agonizing. The tyranny of their whole position is torture. ““The vulgar rich talk about people being dull. Why, if there 'was'a worldwide competition for dullness and arrant stupidity, the prize would be carried off by this class. “Smart society is the same the world over. It has no intellectual conversation, no artistic talent, no appreciation of character. It has no standing by which to gauge anything except the standard of the bank note. “Their lives are so artificial, they are such slaves to fashion, so com- vletely the creature of routine, that they become at length like dumb driven .cattle, forced round and: round to the same places like a traveling show. s “What we want today is character dominated by lofty and holy prin- ciples. It is difficult to grow charact- ers such as [ refer to, in the heredity’ o: in the environments, or with the education belonging to this inner circle of gilded luxury and' license, “The worst about the luxurious class is that it rather makes a boast that there is no such thing as sin, Formerly wrongdoing was secret, something to make excuses for and be ashamed of. Now they are not afraid to do wrong things in the open as if proud of them. *“This class, with such a point of view, is a menace. Their wrongdo- ing is done before servants, who supply wholesale to the shops at which they deal the ghastly story of gilded vice. The salesmen in the shops retail the story to the man in the street, till at length I find that merely in villadom but in slumdom itself all is known of the shameless lusts of the pampered set. «I think one of the crying shames of the day is setting this hideous example. It is enough of itself to create Socialism in its most virulent form.” «“What can be done about it?” was inquired. ‘‘Absolutely nothing,” replied Father Vaughan, ‘with a people who once believed in Christ and Christianity—except they return to their former selves with repent- ance at the feet of the crucified Savior, «It is either Catholicism or naturalism. It’s eithér hand over hand and foot before foot on and up; or else it is tobogganing down till they reach the bottomless pit of hell itself.” “You make it plain,” it was sug- gested, “why Chesterton said you were making the comforiable classes fe2l uncomfortable.” JUDGE C.
