There is every reasen why the Commercial club of Bemidji should be the same live wire in the future that it has been in the past. Not many cities in the state are quite so much in need of organized efforts on the part of its business men as Bemidji. This is made true because of the de- velopment era now on in this dis- trict and because folk who ought, to know better continue to look upon Bemidji as a backwoods town depend- ing entirely upon the sawmills to make the trains stop here. Also, now and then, someone refers to the town as being on the iron range. So that, in addition to the usual endeavors necessary to insure a healthy growth for a young town, these incidental misconceptions, must be overcome by spreading at every opportunity the fact that Bemidji with her paved streets, four railroads and modern residental sections, is one of the best and most up to date towns in the state. Therefore, the selection of a new secretary for the organization was an important step and the nam- ing of Mr. H. C. Baer for the place appears to have been a wise one. ‘Young and vigorous, progressive, and of pleasing personality, he will be expected to bring new life to the commercial organization. He should be given every assistance and the sacrifices he must make to prove suc- cessful should be appreciated. THE CRY OF POLITICS. The Pioneer believes the Duluth Evening Herald speaks most wisely in the following words: “Though it is surprised that any- body should have raised this question, The Herald hasn’t the slightest hesi- tancy in answering it most emphati- cally in the affirmative. The North- ern Minnesota Development associa- tion should by all means ask for an extra session for the passage of a re- apportionment bill, and there should be no division whatever on that ques- tion. The vote for the resolution asking it should be unanimous. “The Northern Minnesota Develop- ment association was formed more to secure reapportionment than for any other thing, because one of its earliest discoveries was that while it might, by constant fighting, win concessions from the legislature, it never could hope to get full justice until it had its full, fair share of the membership of the legislature. “If the association ceases its fight for reapportionment, it loges one of || THE an DAILY PIONEER |its ghief reasons for existing. =it may continue to fight for the othér things Northern. Minnesota needs, but it never can hope to get them until re- apportionment makes them possible. " “Somewhat timidly, but nome the less certainly, an opposition to‘a res- is taking the strange ground that such a resolution would be injecting politics into the Northern Minnesota Development association. “It would not be injecting politics into the association any more than the ringing demand for reapportion- ment at the Bemidji meeting was in- Jecting politics into the association. “Only one thing can inject pelitics be the victory of those who wish to betrayal of the promise he made to the association at Brainerd Dec. 1, 1910, that if the regular session pro- vided no reapportionment.he would call an extra session. “Word has gone forth from those surrounding Governor Eberhart, who are opposed to an extra session for any purpose whatever, that the de- mand for it must be fought wherever it appears. Just now perhaps the resolution at the St. Cloud meeting asking for an extra session for reap- portionment. Therefore a fight is be- ing made by those who are against an extra session for any purpose what- ever, to prevent the adoption of such a resolution at St. Cloud. “It is a delicate and dangerous but it cannot be ignored. It must be met and grasped firmly. The way to do that is to pass by a unanimous vote a temperate resolution stating the be- lief of the association that reappor-| tionment can be secured at an extra session and asking Governor Eber- hart to call it. If the resolution showed bitterness toward the gover- nor, it would look like politics. No bitterness is called for—as yet. The association can assume that the gov- ernor has intended to keep his prom- ise all along, and that he has waited only for the association to ask him to | AND olution asking for an extra session | into the association, and that would | crisis in the affairs of the association, | ‘| the assoclation’s nflnm protect Governor Eberhart in lis flat | 1 most dangerous form that demand is| likely to take'is the adoption. -of aj. in this, and there should be Jone in “But if those who ;are fighting an extra session prevail, and succeed |5 in inducing the association to con-|. done a flat betrayal of a solemn prom- ise by yoting down this resolution, then it éqn be said that politics has at last p netmted ‘into the workings of the associatlon % “Nortfiggn Minnesota wants a just pportionment first above e it is the of the ablest lawyers in Minnesota has said_that if it doesn’t get it then it can’t under the Constitution, get oy .

HOW: TO SUCCEED During.the last few years, condi- tions in all lines of business, even professional life, have changed so completely that every man is waking up to the fact that in order to win success he must specialize and learn to do some one thing and do it well. | So it is with any article that is| sold td the people., It must have gen- uine merit or no amount of advertis- ing will maintain the demand for the article.

If you, too, Mrs. Housewife, want to learn what Calumet means to you, bake ‘with .it just one batch of biscuits. If you don’t find it unlike any.other — so much greater in leavening power — in uniformity — in purity — return it, and get your money back. - That’s all we ask — and think what it means to you to always be sure that each time you bake you will have the most tempting biscuits, pastry, etc. Think of it — the highest quality Baking Povder at a moderate price — the most economical in use. Cheap big can kinds give you quantity, but not quality. High-priced trust brands mean extravagance. For no Baking” Powder can be equal in quality to Calumet.
