Now that it is all over there are any number of persons from Pu- posky to Podunk who could have done it much better than did the detectives. It cost Crow Wing county $1,600 to convict Maiki on the charge of having murdered a 9-year-old boy, but most residents of Crow Wing are ready to admit that it was worth it, THEN WHY NOT HERE? Here is the kind of stuff that is coming out of the Spokane official publicity bureau. “Three months’ trial of the com- mission form of government in Spokane has convinced many, in- cluding the severest critics of the plan, that the affairs of the munici- pality today are conducted with greater efficiency, economy and dis- patch than under any administra- tion, since the incorporation of the city in 1881. Many wastes have been stopped, numerous abuses have been corrected and modern methods are now employed in all the depart- ments. “The business of the city is con- ducted in the same manner that a successful merchant or manufacturer operates his store or factory plant. Robert Faidley, commissioner of fin- ance, said to day that, while there is nothing certain yet relative to the reduction of taxes, he is prepared to show that the tax payers have re- celved 100 cents worth of work for every dollar expended by the com- misslon. Commissioner Fairley has received requests from more than 100 cities in various parts of the country for copies of the Spokane charter, which is declared to be the most ad- vanced practical plan in America.” If the commission plan of city gov- ernment can do things for Des Moines, and can do the good things it has done for Galveston and Spokane and the other cities that have tried it, why wouldn’t it be a good idea for Bemidji, in her transition from the old, cumbersome, awkward, un- satisfactory machine under which the city has been lumbering along to pay serious heed to the advanced meth- ods? MR. HAZEN APPRECIATES THE PIONEER. Instead of sending a letter and afterward. attempting to collect for something he had not done, Sheriff Hazen actually went to Tenstrike one day last week on officfal b‘;slnelfl. The Tenstrike Tribune has the fol- lowing account of Mr. Hazen’s visit: “Sheriff A. B. Hazen, of Bemidji, was in Tenstrike yesterday on of- ficial business. In an interview by the Tribune reporter regarding the recent charges made against the sherift by Viggo Peterson, chairman of the county board, Mr. Hazen said: ‘These charges, although annoying, does not worry me in the least, and I am still continuing to do my dutiés as sheriff of Beltrami county, and I have not a penny of the county’s money that does not rightfully be- long to mre. Peterson seems to have a motive behind his action, as I am satisfied that it is nothing but a po- litical plot on the part of my en- emies who tried to defeat me in the last campaign. - I. have nothing to fear and everything will ‘come out all right in the end, as soon as the barking ceases. The Bemidji Pioneer is giving me a lot of free advertising| which I duly appreciate.’ * The Pioneer assures Mr. Hazen that he is entirely welcome to all the ad- vertising this paper has or may give him. Without a cent from the sheriff or anyone else we publish the fact free- 1y that Mr, Hazep is the publicly pro- fane, immoral person who began his career here as a bartender and by dint of diligent industry worked up to be sheriff of a county which the chairman of the board of commis- sloners declares has been swindled by the dutiful Mr. Hazen who, al- though annoyed, is so happy in the knowledge that there is a political plot against him that he does not care a fig whether the public is ever disillusioned of the Peterson charges or not. Mr. Hazen may never have wrong- fully taken a cent from the county in his life, but he has been branded the most despicable of all men—a man who -has -betrayed & public trust— and yet he has no great yearning to offer proof in denial of the Peterson accusations. There are a good many folks who believe that Mr. Peterson would not attack the sheriff as he did unless he could prove his case, and there are just as many who believe Hazen is a big bluff when he says he looks upon the Peterson charges as a “political plot.” Until he resents the charges and disproves them, as any real man who had been thus accused would do, Sheriff Hazen will be looked upon by the thoughtful as anything but an ideal public official.
