Many Bemidji mothers are fearing that some day there may be a catas- trophe at the Central school build- ing due to the fact that it is a fire trap and crowded with 600 children. They are pointing to the fact that there have been no fire drills this year and that few were held last year. They fear a repetition of the Collingwood disaster. Fire drills are too important to be forgotten in the rush of school work. Every year a new set of pupils come in to take the places of those who go out. Those who remain go to dif- ferent rooms and the whole com- plexion of the school changes. Fire drills should be so familiar to the pupils that the ringing of the alarm at any time during the day would be taken to mean that it was only a drill—an attitude of mind which has more than once prevented panic ! in cases of real fire. The Central school has several different exits but the children should be so trained that they will know that certain signals mean that they are to concentrate on one point. Many times one or more exits are cut off by fire. Little children are easily excitable. Frequent fire drills will take away the novelty and so | reduce the possibility of panic in case of actual fire. At the High school, conditions are about the same. Both stairways would be cut off in case of a hot fire in the manual training room which had broken or exploded through the walls. In such a case the school would have to be emptied from the second story by way of the fire es- cape. Fire drills are like fire in- surance. It sometimes take a disas- ter to force the realization of their value. The Pioneer is no calamity howler but it believes the drills should be started at once and made frequent. Gilman Running Again C. A. Gilman, former governor of Minnesota, is in the race for the state legislature from the St. Cloud district and reports from below are to the effect that he is putting up a strong fight. Gilman is eighty years old,. and was not only governor but represented his district in the state legislature five successive times, once being speaker of the house. His peo- ple wanted him back in 1876 and it looks as though they wanted him again.

It was feared that the Socialistll candidate might win if the other two split the opposition vote between them so it was decided that either Gould or Nye should withdraw. As Gould received less votes in the pri-| mary than Nye, he withdrew on Tuesday in Nye’s favor and the race is now a clean cut one for or against Socialism.

The medical profession does not believe that consumption is inherit- ed, but a person may inherit a weak- ness or tendency to that disease. A prominent citizen of Evans- ville, Ind., writes: “I was ill for five months with a pulmonary trouble, and had the best of doctors; I had hemorrhages and was in a very bad way.

Some time ago the city of Minne- apolis had passed a law by which the election of the mayor is put on a non-partisan basis. All candi- dates were to enter the primaries and two were to be selected who were to run on the general ballot. In this way it was understood that the mayor who would finally be elected would be the choice of a majority of the people and three and four cornered fights would be athing of the past. After the primary, however, it was found that the Socialists had taken no part in the campaign and had not endeavored to win one of
