Beginning next week the Pioneer will inaugurate its regular special legislative service in charge of its editor, F. A.

The Pioneer also is now able to announce the establishment at theé state capitol of a Bemidji Pioneer bureau. This bureau will be main- tained throughout the session of the legislature and by applying to it any of our readers may obtain any in- formation desired, without cost. By this means persons interested. in the inner workings of the lawmaking body may secure all the data desired. This information will always be, when desired, strictly confidential.

Stores, banks and business houses of the city will practically all ob- serve Monday as a holiday and re- main closed all day. The fact that Christmas and New Years, fall on Sunday this year will thus not re- sult in decreasing the number of holidays. Notes, checks and all forms of commercial paper falling due on Monday will not be payable until Tuesday, the sdme as if the holiday itself fell on Monday. There will be no issue of the Pio- neer of Monday. THE COMING SESSION. On Tuesday of next week the Min- nesota state legislature will convene in regular session at St. Paul. It will be one of special interest to northern Minnesota, because of the strenuous fight to be made for a fair and just reapportionment. The session is limited to 90 days and this means that the lawmakers will hammer away until along about April 17. The legislature is made up of 129 Republicans, 46 Democrats, five Prohibitionists, one Ownership, one Populist and one Independent. Sixty-five senators will constitute a majority of a re- publican caucus. In the senate there will be 41 Republicans, 20 Democrats, one Prohibitionist and one Populist. In the house there will be 88 Republicans, 26 Demo- crats, four Prohibitionists, one Public Ownership and one Independent. New senators have just been elected for four years and if they pass an apportionment bill, it may mean that their terms will be cut short two years. One of the most interesting fea- tures just at present in the con- vening of the next legislature is the election of a United States sena- tor to succeed Moses E. Clapp, whose term expires March 4. There has been talk of opposition to Mr. Clapp but that apparently is about as far as it will go. Governor Eberhart is not a candidate for the place and the only other strong possibility, Frank B. Kellogg, is not a candidate, or, if he is, he is too modest to say so. Of course county option will be an issue. Lieutenant Governor Sam Y. Gordon, the Brown’s Valley editor, will be the presiding officer in the senate. and he is an acknowledged county optionist. H. H. Dunn of AlbertLea, who is to be the speaker of the house, has promised to name a friendly temperance committee and a county option bill probably will pass:the house but it is not likely it will get through the senate. The county optionists will make an attempt to have the question sub- mitted to popular vote in 1912, ‘Various reform organizations will work: for an initiative and referen- dum ‘amendment to the constitution and for extension of the direct pri- mary -law to state officers. Another ' feature -that will be watched with interest will be -the fight to be made by the advocates of women’s sufferage. ~Women behind this reform are already in St. Paul, making plans for their fight.- They have requestéd and secured the sup- port of Governor Eberhart and have placed their views before the lieu-~ tenant governor and speaker-to-be, Dunn. Public An attempt will be made to pass a distance tariff measure similar to the one under which Iowa works. The state board of health will urge measures to prevent the spread of tuberculosis, including the estab- lishment of county sanitariums. Senator F. E. Putnam of Blue Earth will wage an active cam- paign for advanced legislation along agricultural lines. He will attempt to increase the present number of farm schools. In additlon to reapportionment measures of vital interest to north- ern Minnesota, which will claim the early attention of the legislators, are bills providing for the protection of the forests, the building of good roads and an extension of proper drainage: 3 THE-PIONEERAND THE NEW YEAR. Not only does the Pioneer express the hope that the New Year will indeed be a happy one to all its read- ers but it avails itself of the oppor- tunity to say a few words of extra- ordinary interest. Perhaps a brief recital of the pro- gress of the Pioneer during the past twelve months would also be oppor- tune. In the first place the year now hurled into eternity has char- acterized an epoch of unparalled prosperity for the Pioneer and has made possible the publishing of a better paper and the laying of plans for a still more modern and metro- politan daily and weekly. From cramped quarters, the Pio- neer, during the past year, has moved into a commodious home where advanced equipment places its printing plant in the front rank of those in northern Minnesota. The wisdom of installing its battery of job and newepaper presses is daily emphasized by the whirl of wheels grinding out work for satisfied cus- tomers. Probably the most notable triumph in the way of equipment was the recent installation of the Mergan- thaler Linotype machine, which is to mean so much for the future of the Pioneer. At a near date the public will be invited to come to the home of the Pioneer and see what manner of machine it is that can readily do the work of five or more fast compositors. In the editorial end of the paper we are told that some progress-has been made, but still more- is: prom- ised. It is the aim of the Pioneer to print the news'when-it is news. It does not favor the slip-shod, sloppy style of journalism which is so apt to mark the unattractive and from every stand point undesirable weekly publications which always struggle along in a city of this size, eking out a precarious existanee un- der the stumblig management of an untrained, unreliable and unauthen- tic editor whose frequent handiness at the anvil brands him a black- smith, rather than a newspaper man. ‘We believe, that generally speak- ing, the newspapers of the smaller towns are on a higher- plane than formerly and it is the desire of the Pioneer to keep abreast of the times and give its readers the best pos- sible paper, not only that our sub- scription list may grow, but because a real newspaper is the greatest ad- vertisement a town can have and in Bemidji, where the Pioneer is the only real newspaper published, the duty envolving upon us is one of great responsibility. And it is for just these reasons that this paper has been printing the news without bowing to the dic- tates of any man, or set of men. Its opinions are voiced in the editorial colums and no attempt is made to "prostitute its news columns with ed- torial expressions. If we have been taught anything in the building of a newspaper, it is that when the public buys a newspaper it is entitled to read a fair and impartial account of the happenings of the day. During the long and sensational controversy over the liquor ques- tion the Pioneer has expended money and energy in unfolding the events of the “lid” drama ‘and this is but an instance of what this paper strives for in the way of printing the news. At the ‘present moment the Pio- neer has its special representative in St. Paul, ready to flash- the latest news:of 'the lawmakers, or any other event of interest, to the Pioneer. Throughout the coming session -of the legislature, ag is'made known in another -announcement; the Pioneer. will maintain a public bureau at the: state: capitol for the sole ‘bene- fit of persons.in this part ofithe state, The Pioneer urges frée and liberal use of this service. Any information, on any subject, to be obtained at the state capitol; will be promptly given witholiticharge: - Bemidji Candy Kitchen BROWN & LANKIS dies. Haveyou tried them?
