Lord Howard de Walden, whose marriage last winter to Miss Marga- ret Van Raalte was one of the most important events of the social season in London, was born May 9, 1880, and succeeded his father, the seventh baron, in 1899. Lord Howard is one of the wealthiest of the English peers and he is considered also one of the most remarkable men in England. Ever since he left Eton he began his training for .the British army at Sandhurst he. has been actively en- gaged in one or another of a score of diverse occupations. While a youth in his teens he rode with the relief column to Kimberley and altogether had a most creditable military career. He owns more motor cars than any other private individual in England, and the most of them he designed himself. His dramatic and poetic in- terests have brought him closely in touch with the London stage. He has written operas and dramatic epics in blank verse—serious works of art which have been produced before ad- miring audiences. Congratulations to: James M. Barrie, noted author and playwright, fifty-two years old today. Sir Edward Clouston, eminent Can- adian financier, sixty-three years old today. . Princess Zita, wife of the Archduke Karl Franz Josef and future empress of Austria, twenty years old today. Same to You. The Mesabe Ore says: “The Be- midji Daily Pioneer started on its The Pioneer has all the appearances of a mighty pros- perous journal, and it is one of the best country dailies that comes to The Ore’s exchange table. Continued prosperity to the Pioneer.” Mother’s Day. “White flowers for mother’s memory, Bright flowers for mother’s living.” Sunday, May 12, aside by proclamation as “Mother’s day.” It is the one day of the year selected for special honor to our mothers living and to the memory of our mothers dead. The idea is a beautiful one and every man, woman and child should wear a white flower or a bright flower next Sunday. If your mother lives at a distance, what greater de- light can you give her than by send- ing her a bright flower for Sunday and enclose a card with the two lines quoted above. Or better still, send heér the flower you will wear. for her If she has left, wear the has been set on Sunday. white one. That dear old mother of yours may not be on earth much longer: ‘Wear the bright flower for her Sun- day. The day, of the white one may come all too soon. Beautifying the Parks. At the meeting of the city council Monday “night, it was declded that the-park committee should take steps to improve the city’s, parks:and the i gentiment then. expressed was. that What Makes' Socialists? One who attended the caucuses in Bemidji on Tuesday could not help but be impressed by one fact—that the hour of the caucus was prohibi- tive for the laboring man. Unless he ity ot his polling place, he had no Under the present system used in mostly by convict labor and at smalll¢he Republican and Democratic par- To cut up this)ties, the workingmen of the country who are affiliated with these parties will have practically no voice in the nomination of a presidential candi- date. ~This fall, they can go to the polls and vote either ballot, but they have not had an opportunity of shar- ing in the making of that ballot. They can take their choice. In the Sociallst party such ques- which every man has an equal vote.. The voice of the banker is not great- er than that of the day laborer. It is this one fact of equality of suf- frage more than any other that is at- tracting men to the Socialist party. The working man who. feels that he has no voice in the conduct of his party is certain to watch for a party in which he will have a voice, When he gets home at night, he thinks— for he is tired only from the shoul- ders down. 2 There is a remedy for this situa- tion. "It has already becn adopted in many states. Unless it is soon adopted by the others, the Socialist party will become the third great party. The remedy lies in direct pri- maries. Direct primaries are open more than two hours in the middle of an afternoon. They give each voter equal power. But above all, they give every man who is not dis- franchised the opportunity of mak- ing the ballot which he must vote in the fall. A direct primary will do tions are settled by referendum- in |- THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER its dirty politics.

A ‘direct primary will prevent many good Republicans and Demo- crats from flocking to the ranks of the Socialists.
