The Ttasca County Independent published at Grand Rapids has this to say editorially: “Parents are -‘complaining that their children (minors) are secur- ing liquor from ome- or two local saloons, ‘Whoever is ' furnishing young boys eleven or twelve years old with liguor are doing more harm to themselves and. their line of busi- ness than they realize, for there is nothing so much as this very thing which makes sentiment against the saloons and the liquor ' dealers. Saloonists who care about their business and about their best in- terests should get busy and see that a stop is put to the practice.” It is a strange thing that such things are permitted by the men in the liquor business—not all to be sure, but by enough to add odium to the saloon business. Parents whose children are thus becoming addicted to the liquor habit should know that a stringent law was passed by the legislature deal- ing with this evil. It is a misde- meanor for a man to take a minor into a saloon and to furnish one directly or indirectly with intoxi- cants. PAVING AND THE CITY’S FINANCES. Now let us take the financ¢ial re- port of the city for the quarter eund- ing April 30th. We find a Sinking fund investment of $27.314.66 And surplus cash in said fund of 8.728.85 Leaving an avialiable — total of 36.043.50 Now then we ‘have $90.000.00 outstanding bonds and a state loan of $25.000.00. The outstanding bond issues of 90,000.00 alone is paid out of the sinking fund, $25. 000.00 of this amount being due in 1915, and then nothing until 1925 and 1930. It can readily be seen that this fund is in the best of condition, and while heretofore = taxes have been levied for the benefit of this fund, last year it being 2 mills, it-will hardly be necessary to levy anything further for this fund for some time to come, as the 25 per cent. of liquor license moneys and receipts from the municipal court etc produces now annualy about, $5.000.00 for ‘said fund, to say nothing-of surplus water system funds, which by charter must be diverted to the sinking fund. The $90.000.00 outstanding bonds then-will be taken care of, with not a cent’s taxes' against property own- ers of the ‘city. o1 The aggregate amount of: cash.op, hand by the city. is $24,157.85 paid would leave a sur- plus of Now .as*“to the: actual sindebted- ness of ‘the ony,vie find that to be are| $63.888:48, not s> bad “when you constder ‘that you'have to offset this figure, a complete water system _easily valued at---$80.000,00, ‘and: which ‘this year should show a net| revenue-to -the -city of <10 per..cent on such a valuation, to say nothing, of the valueiof the § ity hall and jail property, fire depa: 'men;t equipment, parks, library, !‘fi‘;et ijnnd every’ other improvement:of the city. The city tax levy 1ast year was 17 and 7-10 mills, which {s: not considered excessive, and ' this year| it is reasonably certain that -this levy will be reduced by 3 or 4 mills, LYNCHINGS. - The lynching of six' negroes in Florida and one'fn Georgia ' this week brings the total ‘number for 1911 up to 17. Here s a smmary of the lynchings for the past ten years: 1901. .

This record appears tragic en_;ough‘; as- it stands, but were thecrimes; behind ‘most of the hurry ‘up “éx= ecutions also chromicled it _would prove double the shock told by these ghastly figured. Nor is that all.: While it may ap- pear that lynchings are becoming less, that_is not likely to prove,true in the long run. i Not: infrequently an innocent'man meets sudden death in the hands of a southern mob, and often -the mob is made up for the most part of young and reck!ess?men, hardly representative of the: better class of southerners, yet at thé same time they are inspired to their“law- lessness by the “there are ‘some crimes we wont stand for” attitude. It also should be remembered that in nearly every instance a white girl is involved, so' that while the “real colored offender may escape upd ‘“!L. innocent man pay the penalty, ffiunda. mentally the low- moral tone of southern -negroes is the real cause. And it s not: for ‘the southerf whites to say too much about these lax conditions for there are to mamny: bleached Etheopians for their Cau- casin neighbors to pose as saints, - Optimists' will ‘join "with Booker T. Washington in ‘the belief that the negro will some day elevate himself to a position of safety, and until then he may expect to-be elevated to:un-. safety ' by vindignant whites. 000600006060 06660 @ COMMUNICATIONS . & ool 2900000000660 6BW 1 ol o3 A Laboring Man’s View, . .. Because I am .convinced that y¢ paper wants to be fair-to ever’y\?ody’ i I take the liberty to say just a worth| as a laboring man.on the question &f bonding the city to put down &*I& of pavement that we can get aloh# without. I -see that our friends -are jubilant over the idea and that, if nothing else makes ‘us| . laboring: .men suspicious, What is good for the capitalists is pretty apt not to be good for the men who-work. It looks to us as if Bemidji has enough -indebtedness on her, hands without getting deeper in by ta}:i%L the on $20.000 worth of bonds. To, poor man, the tax rate at presept is| plenty high. We-can get along with- out pavements, although I see that| now.we can not use the sidewalks for our bicycles any more, but we can’t get: along very well without our homes, and we can’t keep our homes if we -are going to have to pay higher taxes all the time. So far as I am concerned I would like to see the streets paved but I am like a lot of other workingmen, I don’t want to have to pay for it. I hope the Ploneer will be good enough “to print our side - of the question. MILL WORKER. (The Pioneer is glad indeed to print expressions from the working- | men. It will print all that it re- cefves. - In this {nstance, the Pioneer feels' that “Mill Worker” is|- laboring under-a wrong impression. The' paving will not increase the taxes, and the laboring men will not- ‘pay for laying the:pavement, for its| cost’largely will’ be/assessed against benefitted property-owners.—Editor).| —_— 3. M.

Primarily the appetite for iquor must be cultivated, but after that habit has once been formed, it is -the prime factor in the physical cravingsof the human body.
