The Pioneer at Bemidiji, a country daily of much worth, . is going to send its editor, F. A. Wilson, to St. Paul this . winter, to report the actual proceedings of the legislature. This is an enterprising move which few papers can afford, and we congratulate the Be- midji Pioneer upon it’s untir- ing effort to do things.—Wa- dena Pioneer Journal. WE SALUTE THE GOVERNOR. A friend in need is a friend indeed. Therefore, we salute Governor Eberhart and say hurrah to his mes- sage to the legislature. If ever northern Minnesota need- ed a chief executive to champion her needs, it is now. That he is behind us in our just demands is indicated by the plain words which he pounded into the not altogether willing ears of the solons now doing business at the state cap- itol. Said the governor: “Of all the impertant questions to be decided by the present Legislature that of reapportionment will .be watched with the greatest interest by the people of the state. Our government was founded upon the principle that taxation without re- presentation is unjust and every step forward since has been in the defense of that great principle. Since the organization of our great state there never existed greater inequalities as to representation. In some sections of Minnesota 12,000 people elect a senator, and in other sections it re- quires 62,000; in some sections 5,000 people elect a representative and in other sections it requires 32,000. Section 2, Article IV, of our constitu- tion guarantees to the people fair re- presentation in the lawmaking bodies and that guarantee should be suffici- ent authority for legislative action at this section. In addition thereto both political parties have pledged themselves in the strongest terms possible to carry the will of the people into effect as expressed by their representatives in both conven- tions and to give the people of the state a fair reapportionment law at this sesion. ~ With these conditions confronting us there cannot possibly be a valid excuse for any member to oppse the enactment of a law sup- ported by every principle of right and justice, secured to the people by the constitution, and definitely promised by both political parties through their representatives in con- vention. Nothing but purely per- sonal and selfish excuses can be as- signed as reasons for opposition to this measure. No increase should be made in the Senate or House of Representatives, especially the former. “Reference should be made at this time to the effects of the forest fire disaster in Northern Minnesota and the necessities for relief of the set- tlers who lost their homes and per- sonal effects in that disaster. “Theprompt and.generous response of the people of Minnesota to my call for relief has so far provided means for meeting the temporary needs of this situation, but I am advised by the Red Cross relief committee that something in the way of further aid must be extended to these people. 1 would therefore urge upon the Legis- lature to consider this matter at an early date and extend such relief as shall be adequate and equitable. “It is mnot difficult to anticipate that.there wil be considerable op- position to many of the reforms here- in advocated. Be that as it may, I wish to impress on the members of the Legislature that my only ground for urging this reorganization is to secure greater efficiency in the ad- ministration of state affairs and to enable the people of the state to bet- ter safeguard their heritage of nat- ural resources.” It strikes us that Governor Eber- hart is entitled to a rousing round of applause for that sort of a mes- sage It is an easy thing for a can- didate for office to say such things {liquor from the Indians. bee buzzing in your bonmet, is quite another question. The winning of the governor is the North’s greatest triumph up to date. ' WHAT OTHER PAPERS SAY | Who is to Blame? There is food for thought in the position of congressmen on the In- dian lid question—that if the state laws had been enforced it would not have been necesary to invoke the aid of forgotten treaties to keep Who is really to blame anyway?—Mahno- men Pioneer. A Quiet Snooze: Asleep at the post may well char- acterize the attitude of the anti-Sa- loon element with regard to the speakership. Having a clear ma- jority of republicans in the house, they permitted the brewers to put a double cross over them, and there they are out in the cold, with the brewery and big business in control of the house organization. Live and learn, boys, live and learn.—Elk River News. Oh Yes, it is Possible. It hardly seems possible that any man elected to the exalted position of state senator can be so narrow and selfish that he is going to op- pose a reapportionment measure in order that he may hold onto his of- fice for two years longer. There may of course be one of that calibre here and there but we believe that the majority of Minnesota’s legis- lators are men of brains who put the affairs of the general public above personal interests.—Blackduck American. A Put Up Job. Just as was expected, Governor Eberhart when he got home from Washington denied that the senator- ship matter was even mentioned to him. “The report is absolutely without foundation,” said the Gov- ernor, and under no circumstances will he become a candidate in op- position to Senator Clapp, who was nominated at the state convention, and in the opinion of the Governor should and will be elected. It may not be a bad guess that the whole affair was a put up job to test Sena- tor Clapp’s strength with members of the legislature, but that the Gov- ernor had a hand in “starting some- thing,” no one will believe. The republican party is committed to Senator Clapp, the rank and file of the party are for him and the ma- jority of th» members of the legis- lature have publicly declared for him. The thing to do is to re-elect him.—Osakis Review. COMMUNICATIONS. Letters to the editor of not more than 200 words on topics of interest are solicited.

Dear Sir:— In your issue of today I notice that a committee was appointed by the Commercial Club to wait upon the City Council in regard to the sale of impure milk. ‘Would call their attention to the fact that at the request of the phys- icians last spring the City Council passed an ordinance to regulate and control the supply of milk coming into the city for sale. Appointed a committee of physicians to visit any or all dairies that were supplying milk, inspect them and if found in unsanitary condition to take steps to remedy the same. No salary was attached, but city was to pay for livery hire to and from said places. The enforcement of this ordinance would properly come under the chair- man of the Board of Health or the City Physician. I have not heard any cases being investigated so far. The council can pass the ordinances, but the enforcement of them comes under the power of the Mayor and Police department and Board of Health. . Yours truly, GEORGE KIRK, President of Council.

Away back in 1771 Josiah Woodbury of Beverly, Mass., thus published his happy emancipation from matrimonial woes: Beverly, Sept. 16, 177 Ran away from Josiah Woodbury, coop- er, his house plague for seven long years, Masury Old Moll, alias Trial of Venge- ance.

Among other things it provides for free seeds for burned out settlers. e Both houses are still in more or less of an unsettled condition and it will be the first of next week before the real work of the session begins in earnest. Reapportionment is ered by the lawmakers. 1t looks like clear sailing for this bill in the house but “the rapids are below it” in the senate. R Senator Pugh of Duluth is the old- est member of the senate. The more time he puts in as a senator the longer his whiskers grow and the merrier the twinkle of his eye. As both were well started when he came to St. Paul you can figure it out your- self as to how they line up now. e un Speaking of whiskers: The ton- nage tax bill which probably will be introduced, will have them long and gray before ever said bill is en- acted into a law. araw Up to date visitors from Bemidji or vicinity have been few. W. R. MacKenzie is here, but he is not a visitor. From sunrise to sunset he works in behalf of the reapportion- ment committee and the rest of the time he spends looking for apart- ments for his family. He is ac- companied by his wife and daughter Gladys. They are temporarily at the Dykeman in Mineapolis. ! e aaan A matter of interest to Pioneer readers, because it opens an avenue for news kot off the bat, is the en- largement of the duties of your cor- respondent in the senate where he will have charge of the bills coming to the committees on general legis- lation, forestry and fire protection, game and fish and state training schools. TR From Crookston comes a young ‘woman representative. Of course she is not a really truly member of the house but it is safe to say that at least one member of the body does as she instructs. She is the wife of Garfield Brown and was formerly Miss Mayme Weserberg. The mar- riage took place in Crookston only a few days ago. Mr. Brown is an attorney at Glencoe. J. G. Winkjer of Crookston has taken up his new duties as pure food commissioner, succeeding Andrew French. During his first days in office he is being assisted by Mr. French.

IDEA NOT TAKEN SERIOUSLY Reported Plan to Oust Senator Ste- phenson of Wisconsin. ‘Washington, Jan. 6.—While Senator La Follette will not discuss the report from Madison that a movement is under way to have the Wisconsin leg- islature take action calling on the United States senate to declare Sen- ator Stephenson’s election void be- cause of the large amount of money rexpended and alleged improper influ- ences used it is known that the move- ment did not originate in La Follette sources. Moreover, those close to La Follette here scout the suggestion that there is any serious movement to oust or trouble Stephenson .and say that any attempt to do anything of that sort would be a mistake. MAN FALLS IN DOUGH MIXER Baker Ground to Death in Presence of Seven Children. New York, Jan. 6.—In the presence of his seven children, attracted to the scene by his cries for help, Jacob Sei. gelman, a baker, was ground to death in a power dough mixer. His wife died a few weeks ago and since that time he has been working day and night to get momey to pay the undertaker.
